It's a well-known fact that sex talk begins outside the bedroom.

Spicing up the bedroom can be as simple as a phone call, a passionate text or sending a photo to keep your partner intimately thinking about you.

According to Dr Kimo Karatu, healthy communication and care are catalysts for great sex.

This can be seen in the sultry locking of eyes, a long, warm embrace, a gentle touch and heartfelt compliments when two people first meet.
