Your sex life is ever-evolving . As you evolve as a person, your sexual life and preferences evolve with you, or at least they should. Both as an individual and as part of a couple, you should want to keep things hot and fresh. Even if you are already sexually adventurous, there is always something new on the horizon. Here are some ways you can discover what you like sexually now, and what you may want to explore down the line.

• Watch porn

Keep in mind for this one that porn is not always realistic or a good teacher. That being said, watching porn can be a good way to discover what turns you on. It can also be a good way to fantasize about sexual scenes and kinks that you might want to try. Threesomes, kink, different positions, and more can be explored safely either alone or with your partner with the click of a mouse or popping in a DVD.

• Talk to your partner

Be open not just about your sexual wants and needs, but also about your sexual wish list. Encourage your partner to open up to you about sex as well. You can better negotiate your changing sexual needs with everyone involved on the same page. So be honest and discuss what you want to try in the bedroom, or out of the bedroom if that is your thing. From fantasies to kinks, you have to start by talking about it.

• Explore kink

The world of kink is deep and wide. Anything you can think of as far as a sexual kink, there is a community for that. Explore either online or in real life whatever kink you are interested in and see if it works for you. Be open to your partner's kinks, and explore whatever you are comfortable with.

• Explore anal and oral sex

You probably have had oral or anal sex, but is it a special occasion event or a regular part of sex? Making it more common can spice up your sex life and you might find you like it enough to make it a focus of your sex life instead of a side dish.

• Focus on foreplay

Speaking of making side dishes into the main course, take the time to focus on foreplay. You can even have sessions of only foreplay with no penetrative sex. Make it about pleasure and orgasm, not just what happens before penetrative sex.

• Masturbate with your partner

No one knows all the places you like to be touched better than you do. So show off your moves to each other by touching yourself for your partner. You can also take the opportunity to show off your favorite toys together.

Your sex life does not need to be a static thing. You should be able to evolve sexually as both an individual and with your partner. Taking steps to keep your sex life fresh and alive will help both your sex life and your relationship with your sexual partner.
