Sex Tips

Practical sex tips you can actually use in real life, for more pleasure, better intimacy and less second-guessing.

Welcome to my Sex Tips hub. This is where I keep practical, real-life advice for improving sex, deepening connection, and feeling more confident in your body and desires. Some tips are tiny and immediate. Others quietly change how you experience sex over time. Either way, this isn’t performance-based “do it perfectly” content. It’s sex-positive guidance for real people, real bodies and real relationships. No performance required. This category focuses on practical, everyday tips rather than deep guides or broader sexuality discussions. This archive brings together years of practical tips, experiments and real-life learning about what actually improves sex.

If you want broader guidance beyond tips, head to my main Sex Advice hub. If you’re in a more reflective mood and want wider sexuality topics, you might prefer Sexuality Articles. For right now, this page is all about practical improvements you can try, keep, tweak, or ditch as you learn what works for you.

My Approach

I write sex tips from lived experience, curiosity, and a deep dislike of shame. I’m not here to tell you what you “should” want. I’m here to offer options, perspective and practical ideas, so you can build a sex life that feels good to you, not one you’re performing for anyone else. If your reality includes stress, illness, disability, trauma history, ageing, hormones, parenting, or shifting desire, you’re not alone. This space makes room for all of that.
