WHEN are you in the mood to make love? Chances are, it’s not when your partner wants it.
According to new research, men and women’s sex clocks are totally out of sync.
Females are horniest at 10pm while fellas feel friskiest at 7.30am.
The difference can cause tensions in and out of the bedroom, with 64 per cent of women and 38 per cent of men admitting they make love when they don’t feel like it.
The Sun’s sexpert GEORGETTE CULLEY has this guide on how to make things tick.
7AM: SENSUAL SHOWER
You would normally shower alone — but use this time to heat things up between you.
Spending just a few minutes a day naked together can do wonders for your libido.
Research shows skin-to-skin contact is vital for our mental, emotional and physical health and can help reduce the stress hormone cortisol, putting us in the mood for love.
7.30AM: GET READY TOGETHER
Usually you get dressed at different times. Change this by asking your partner to choose your underwear and put it on slowly in front of them.
Don’t let them touch you, just tease them by giving a glimpse of what they can rip off later.
Flirting gets the mind thinking about sex and that anticipation will make love-making even better.
