Matters of the heart and the bedroom aren’t always the easiest to navigate on your own. Sometimes we need a little advice to help us out and of course, your mates, your family or even your partner are great to turn to but let’s be real, who better than an award-winning sexologist? Chantelle Otten is here to give you all the answers your sex and relationship questions.

Communication. We all know it’s the #1 way to get what you want out of your sex life, yet so few of us are really any good at it. If the idea of telling your partner what you want them to do in bed makes you break out in a cold sweat, read on…

All Hung Up and nowhere to go. But that’s the beauty of this position, as you’ll have very little desire to go anywhere once the oral party has got into full swing. So stand to attention, throw a little restraint play into the mix and enjoy a delicious feast of cunnilingus or fellatio.

Here’s a blast from the past for you - 90s and 00s girl magazines, and the iconic CRINGE confession pages. If you weren’t sending love on Bebo, or living your fashion designer dreams on Dollzmania, or texting codes to dubious subscription companies to get a new polyphonic ringtone, chances are you were flicking through the teen bible of Mizz Magazine.

Lingerie is the classic Valentine's Day gift for a reason: sexy and seductive, there's nothing like a new bedroom outfit to set the mood for romance this February 14th.

Whether you're shopping for your lover or picking something out yourself, there's that added excitement of seeing their face when all is revealed.

Don't know a bustier from a basque? Check out our Lingerie Guides which are packed with advice on body shape, sizing and buying lingerie as a gift.

Valentine's Day may traditionally be recognised as a time for couples, but here at Lovehoney, we disagree – Valentine's is for everyone. From those who are swept away by passion and romance, to those who are spending the occasion alone this year – and believe us, alone is no bad thing.

First dates; often the first encounter to share with someone new and nearly always the most nerve-wracking. Sometimes exciting, at times, enlightening - a first date opens the door to truly getting to know someone, but what about those awkward silences?

Let’s face it, it happens. Sometimes we trip on our words, fumble with our sentences and lose our once perfectly intact human ability to talk. It might be nerves, lack of interest or simply getting lost in the whirlwind of romance.

Whatever the reason for those conversational lulls, we’ve compiled this handy list of first-date questions, so you can keep the chat flowing, while asking all the right things to find out what you really want to know.

Keep in mind that first dates are meant to be fun, not forced, so don’t interview your date - simply invite them in to talk about the things and people that matter to them most.

After all, nobody wants to get six months knee-deep into a relationship only to find out you’re not both searching for the same thing, right?

See in the new year with a bang and let the sparks fly in the bedroom with this up-close face-to-face position. Holding, kissing and caressing one another makes this position intimately perfect.
