Get creative and do your research

6. Remember that your bedroom can be so much more than just a place to sleep
Kerner suggests turning your bedroom into a love nest. "Sex is very sensory. Appeal to all the senses — sight, taste, smell, sound."
Maybe that means buying satin sheets, burning candles or incense, or putting on some mood music.

7. Sex toys are your friends
And your partner's friends, too. If your significant other hates shopping, chances are he or she will be happy to make this particular trip with you. Nervous about venturing into the neighbourhood adults-only boutique? Shop online.

8. Do your research
How familiar are you with your partner's anatomy? How familiar is he — or she — with yours? Could the source of your bedroom boredom be a lack of knowledge about his or her interesting bits? Let your fingers do the walking; to find out more, visit the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada and play Sex-Fu.

A satisfying sex life can thrive in a long-term relationship
While it may be true that novelty wanes as familiarity increases over the years, Kerner asserts that many other wonderful aspects come into play in place of the new-love novelty: "Security, comfort, knowing each other's bodies and minds, having a degree of comfort in terms of being able to express what turns you on (or off), not feeling a sense of abashment around fantasies."
