Looking for some easy ways to switch things up? PinkNews and premium pleasure brand Arcwave have teamed up to give some simple but mind-blowing sex tips for all.

Whether you’re stuck at home together with all the time in the world or forced apart by the pandemic, there’s never any harm in renewing your commitment to a partner’s pleasure with some new, toe-curlingly good tricks.

1. Pump things up with the Arcwave Ion.

When it comes to sex toys, the Arcwave Ion is not your average penis masturbator. Typically, the warmth of a sleeve and the sensation of penetration are what help penis-owners achieve orgasm. But with Ion, beyond the joys of thrusting, penis-owners can orgasm thanks to Arcwave’s Pleasure Air™ technology. The “arced waves” of air — get it? — brush along the frenulum (the highly erogenous ‘string’ connecting the shaft to the head), thereby providing an entirely new type of orgasm. A hot pro-tip: Have your penis-owning partner pleasure themselves with Ion while you ride their face. You’re welcome.

2. Put on a show for your partner.

Even if you’re stuck at home, you can indulge in a striptease. Wear clothes that make you feel confident, whether that’s luxe lingerie or a suit that makes you feel like Daddy. Then, get to work. Even if you feel silly, your partner will ultimately chuckle, you’ll be naked, and the rest is history.

3. Take fingering to the next level.

Fingering can be a delight, but you can up your game further by incorporating oral sex. If your partner has a penis, give them a blowjob or use the Arcwave Ion on them while fingering them anally — with their enthusiastic consent, of course. If your lover has a vagina, lick or suck their clit while fingering them vaginally or anally. You could even double-penetrate your partner while pleasuring them orally. Again, consent is key.

4. Get freaky over FaceTime.

If lockdown is keeping you apart, you can still give your partner a front-row ticket to a juicy masturbation session. Come prepared with charged sex toys, Instagram-worthy lighting, and maybe a bit of lube for a visually engaging sheen.

5. Tease them until they can’t take it anymore.

For example (and with your lover’s consent): put the Arcwave Ion on your partner, take it off of them, and put it back on — over and over, leisurely, for a half-hour. Similarly, you can ride or penetrate your partner for an interval of time, stop, and then start again. Playfully challenge each other to see how long you can last.
