Seven days of sex

It's up to you whether you keep the massage strictly sensuous and romantic or let yourself drift off into another kind of intimate massage. For ideas, read The Art of Sensual Massage by Gordon Inkeles.

Day four – leisurely love-in
Remember John and Yoko? Today you're going to have a love-in and spend hours and hours in bed. Switch off the alarm and don't get up. If you can't dedicate a whole day, tumble straight into bed once you get home from work.

Gather everything you need by the bedside – drinks, snacks, chocolate croissants, even a bottle of champagne – then simply settle down.

The possibilities are endless with a day in bed. Make love, eat, nap, cuddle, chat, swap fantasies, have oral sex, make love again. By removing the pressure to get up and get going, you can really take the time to enjoy yourselves.

Day five – erotic viewing
Tonight you're going to stay in and watch TV. Not any old TV, but an erotic video. Sexy videos aren't just for the boys. You can watch one specifically aimed for couples. I recommend The Art of Extended Orgasm for Men and Women, available from www.sh-womenstore.com

Snuggle up and press play. Make sure there are no disturbances, so that when the video hits the parts that other videos don't reach, you can press the pause button and carry on where the actors have left off.
