The Most Effective Way to Do Plank, According to a Trainer
When you are short on time but want to fit some quality strength moves into your fitness routine, planks are an excellent option and one of the best ways to build strength and stability in your core. One of the most important things to be mindful of when performing planks is correct form, as doing the exercise incorrectly not only won't improve your strength, but it can also eventually lead to discomfort and potential injuries.
"People generally start to feel discomfort in their shoulders, which may indicate that their elbows are not directly beneath them and they have not engaged their core, leading to the shoulders taking a lot more strain then they need to," said Victoria Webster, a certified personal trainer at Suite Time Fitness in Houston. "Another thing to look out for is low back discomfort. This is a sign that your core is collapsing and your back is sagging down."
There are many variations on plank exercises, but one of the most basic is the forearm plank. Follow these steps to ensure you are performing the exercise correctly:
- Find a space in front of a mirror so you can check your form.
- Lie on your stomach, bring your elbows directly under your shoulders, and flip your toes under your feet
- Exhale and lift your body off the ground. Your body should be in one straight line with a flat back, your butt down and your core engaged.
- Actively draw your belly button up into your spine. Your hands can be grasped in a "prayer" position or parallel to each other.
- Check yourself out in the mirror and lift your midsection back into that strong, straight line you had initially
Don't get too preoccupied with how long you can hold a plank, either. "There is no reason, ever, to hold a plank for five minutes. One or two minutes are good goals to work up to; anything more than that and you'll likely begin to lose form," Webster said. "Personally, I like to do several sets of 90- to 120-second planks, alternating with a low back exercise, for balance."
Finally, don't forget to breathe. "As a trainer, I find that when people are doing exercises that are difficult, and especially if they're being timed, they hold their breath. Nice, slow, controlled breathing will help you through the exercise," Webster said.
These Are the 5 Best Plank Variations If You're Trying to Lose Weight
If you want to tone your arms and abs, plank is one of the most effective moves. But aside from building muscle, if you want to lose weight, like that extra fluff around your belly, doing cardio will help burn calories. So try these cardio plank moves to maximize the calorie-burning effects of this basic must-do move.

20 Times Jennifer Lopez's Music Videos Made Our Jaws Hit the Damn Floor
Jennifer Lopez has been in the music industry for almost 20 years, and every time she releases a new song, we know there is going to be a superhot music video to go along with it. Who can ever forget when she wore a fur coat with just underwear underneath in the video for "Jenny From the Block"? Or her multiple sultry moments in the classic "Waiting For Tonight"? The woman just knows exactly how to heat things up. It's an understatement to say we lose our breath every time we see her in a music video. In honor of that, we've put together a countdown of her sexiest moments, ranked from hot to even hotter, because we know better than to think J Lo's sexiness has reached its peak.
Kids Aren't Required to Fast During Ramadan, but My 10-Year-Old Son Is
Ramadan is the holiest month of the year for Muslims. During this time, we're required to fast from sunrise to sunset and abstain from food, water, and sex along with unkind behaviors such as gossiping, getting angry, or being judgmental. Consider it a combination of a spiritual cleanse and extreme intermittent fasting. If this sounds like a grueling month to endure, trust me, it is, and that's exactly the point.
Will this be hard for him? Absolutely. But is he looking forward to the opportunity to foster self-control and gratitude? Absolutely.
I'm often asked why 24 percent of the world's population (that equals to roughly 1.8 billion Muslims) would happily want to partake in this month of rigorous and very restrictive fasting. But the thing is, all major religions have prolonged histories of fasting in the name of God. Aside from Muslims that fast during Ramadan, Roman Catholics fast during Lent, Jews fast during Yom Kippur, and some Hindu women fast weekly for the longevity of their spouse's life. So, every year when Ramadam comes, my entire family fasts, including my 10-year-old son.
I know it can't be easy for my Muslim-American boy. He's slowly coming of age under the presidency of a man who has been quoted as saying, "I think Islam hates us," and has called for a ban of Muslims entering the United States. And I know son is acutely aware of the Islamophobic rhetoric that is especially rampant in our current society and culture. It's in this place of fear that I realize the importance of cultivating my sons' confidence in their religious identity. It's in this place of privilege that I'm able to exercise my constitutionally given right to practice my religion unapologetically and teach my boys to do the same.
Ramadan is supposed to be a time of reflection for Muslims when we try to let go of worldly temptations and look inward through self-control and sacrifice. My 10-year-old son will participate in fasting on Saturdays this year. He'll get up before dawn to have a meal and then abstain from food and water in the blistering heat of a Texas Summer until sunset (which is clocking in at 8:10 p.m. right now).
Will this be hard for him? Absolutely. But is he looking forward to the opportunity to foster self-control and gratitude? Absolutely. Fasting is not mandatory for children, but my son did it last year during Ramadan and felt incredibly proud of the difficult achievement. And on a deeper level, he was actually able to empathize more comprehensively with the 815 million people in the world who go to bed hungry every single night.
Nothing makes me prouder than seeing my child want to carve out his own religious identity, even in the face of adversity and hateful rhetoric. As a mother, I pray his future is full of possibilities in a country that doesn't pigeonhole him because of his faith. As one of the 3.45 million Muslims who live in the United States, I pray that our legacy cultivates peace and nurtures compassion among our fellow Americans.

Donald Glover! Ryan Gosling! The Willy Wonka Remake Could Actually Be Good
When news broke that Warner Bros. was finalizing a deal to revamp Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, the collective response was, "Do we really need another one?" The general consensus might shift, however, now that a stellar shortlist of actors has been released. According to Collider, Donald Glover, Ryan Gosling, and Ezra Miller are being considered for the titular role previously made famous by Gene Wilder.
With casting options like that, you really can't go wrong. Though the role is something a seasoned actor like Gosling could easily handle, the La La Land star might lack some of the fearless whimsy the other two actors seem to master. While Miller transforms into any role he's given from Justice League's The Flash to Fantastic Beasts's tortured Credence, it would be incredible to see Glover take on another project of this scale following his turn in Solo and Disney's upcoming Lion King reboot.
The remake will be directed by Paul King, who previously made everyone fall in love with Paddington. The producer behind the entire Harry Potter film franchise, David Heyman, has also signed on to produce. The remake will reportedly take the story in a new artistic direction with potential for several sequels, so whoever is chosen as the star will have to be in it for the long haul.
Here's What the Royal Family Prefers to Call Kate Middleton
Kate Middleton has been in the spotlight ever since she began dating Prince William back in 2003. While she typically goes by the title the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate is also known as Princess William of Wales or simply Kate Middleton. Still, Prince William often refers to her as Catherine given that she was born Catherine Elizabeth Middleton. While growing up in the English village of Bucklebury, she was known as Catherine among her friends and family, and it wasn't until she went to the University of St. Andrews that she garnered the nickname "Kate."
Kate married William in 2011, and that's when she officially became Catherine Elizabeth, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, as listed on Prince George's birth certificate. Just like William, the palace also refers to Kate as Catherine. During an interview with BBC's Radio 1 in 2017, Scott Mills questioned the fact that Prince Harry referred to his sister-in-law as "Cath" in a recent video, asking, "Everyone calls you Kate, don't they?" "I will answer to most things," she replied. Well, there you have it.
Here's Why We Probably Won't See More Episodes of The Staircase
Before Serial and Making a Murderer, there was The Staircase, a true-crime docuseries directed by Jean-Xavier de Lestrade. True-crime fans are probably familiar with the subject, novelist Michael Peterson's infamous murder case. The original series follows Peterson and his defense team from indictment to conviction. Now that Netflix has updated the series with new content about Peterson's retrial and plea deal, viewers are probably wondering if there will be new episodes. Well, given the state of Peterson's case, it's unlikely.
The original show documents the defense team's efforts during the trial. Peterson claimed that his wife, Kathleen, passed away after falling down a flight of stairs. But forensic evidence indicated that Kathleen had died from blunt force trauma. The prosecution also pointed out that Peterson's family friend uncannily died at the bottom of a staircase two decades before. In 2003, the writer was convicted of murdering his wife and sentenced to life. But this is only part one of the show.
In 2010, there was a plot twist. A series of newspaper articles uncovered forensic corruption and incompetence during Peterson's investigation. De Lestrade then developed two more episodes to follow up with Peterson's rally for a retrial. Now, the new original Netflix episodes cover the crime author's final trial and consideration for a plea bargain.
Stories have a beginning, middle, and end. Viewers may finish the show without feeling emotional closure, but that's probably how the filmmakers intended to end things. All has been said and done on the legal end. In 2017, Peterson's case concluded when he accepted the Alford plea. Basically, while Peterson is not admitting to the murder, he concedes that the prosecution has sufficient evidence to convict him. He submitted to a lesser charge of manslaughter and was sentenced to time already served.
De Lestrade has crafted a narrative predominantly from Peterson's point of view. There's just not ample material in the author's life for additional episodes. Peterson is now working on a novel and spending time with his family. Barring a major reveal, it doesn't look like there will be more episodes of The Staircase in the foreseeable future.
25 of the Best Dance Videos of the Last Decade

Watching the Ladies of Tag Absolutely Roast Their Male Costars Will Fill You With Joy
Have you seen the hilarious trailer for Tag yet? Because despite the film's seemingly wacky premise - a group of best friends and former classmates have been playing the same epic game of tag for over 30 years - it looks like it's going to be unexpectedly heartwarming. That being said, a film with the likes of Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Jake Johnson, Ed Helms, Isla Fisher, Leslie Mann, Annabelle Wallis, and Hannibal Buress obviously won't be without some seriously great one-liners. To celebrate its June 15 release date, Mann, Fisher, and Wallis teamed up for an exclusive clip where they roast the hell out of their male costars. ("Hi, I'm Jon Hamm," Wallis jokes in a deep voice. "Ladies like my face a lot.") Watch it above!
Most Royal Honeymoons Aren't as Fancy as You May Think (but Some Are!)
When members of the royal family head off on honeymoon, it's all about swaying in silken hammocks, feasting nightly on lobster, and drinking Champagne from diamond goblets, right? Wrong! Over the years, most royal couples have in fact opted for a relatively low-key trip after their big day - it seems that for most of them, after all the planning and fuss of a very public royal wedding, the last thing they want is a long-haul journey and accompanying jet-lag.
Take a look at who went for no-fuss and those who chose all-out luxury.

This Heartbreaking Theory Might Explain Why Snape Was Mean to Neville Longbottom
It's no secret that Severus Snape picks on Neville Longbottom a lot. However, while some fans of the series might've dismissed it due to Snape's overall sour attitude, one fan theory suggests a darker and sadder reason for why Snape acted the way he did.
The theory starts with the prophecy made by Professor Trelawney, which was revealed in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The prophecy boils down to either Neville or Harry being the chosen one to "vanquish the Dark Lord." Voldemort chose the Potters, killing Lily, the one person Snape loved. The theory, posted by Reddit user OrgasmicSarcasmic, suggests that Snape treats Neville so poorly because he's a reminder that Alice Longbottom is alive (though tortured into insanity) while Lily isn't. You can read it ahead.
I just realized this about Snape and Neville from harrypotter
A thread on Quora suggests something similar. Quora user Sahil Juneja believes that Neville represents Snape's "living embodiment of guilt" and everything he did to unintentionally cause the death of Lily.
Pretty sad, right? Oh, Snape, your love of Lily was so much bigger than any of us knew.

Staring at Screens All Day Is Damaging Your Eyes - Here's How to Protect Them
In the words of Madonna, "I'm a digital girl in a digital world." Digital devices have allowed us to connect with people all over the world, but there are a few downsides to consider, like digital eye strain. If you've ever suffered from discomfort after using a digital device for longer than two hours, chances are you're experiencing digital eye strain. The Vision Council found that more than 83 percent of Americans report using digital devices for more than two hours a day, with more than half of the same group using two devices simultaneously and experiencing digital eye strain. If completely disconnecting is not an option, here are some tips to consider to protect your eyes from strain.
Remember to Blink
"When you look at a screen you're so involved that you forget to blink. The blink rate goes from 15 times a minute to five or seven times per minute," said ophthalmologist Dr. Matthew Gardiner. Blinking helps keep the front of your eye surface moist.
Follow the 20-20-20 Rule
The 20-20-20 rule is easy to implement daily. Take a 20-second break from your screen every 20 minutes and look at something 20 feet away.
Adjust Your Workspace
The Vision Council recommends positioning yourself at arm's distance away from your computer monitor. Another tip is to lower your monitor. You want the center of the monitor to be about four to eight inches below eye level and around 20 to 28 inches from the eyes. Position your monitor to avoid glare from overhead light and windows.
Increase the Text Size
Another quick fix is to increase the text size on your devices, as this will help define the content on the screen.
Reduce Glare
Using softer lighting on your devices and matte filters will reduce the glare on tablets, phones, and computers.
Check Your Prescription
Discomfort could be caused by not having the right prescription for your glasses! Be sure to get a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years.
You Know You're One of These Types of Texters
Whether you want to own up to it or not, we are all a certain kind of texter. Some of us use an absurd amount of emoji, and others are fans of ending every single. Sentence. With. A. Period. We thought it was about time we defined these types of texting and discuss some of their virtues and cons. Take a look ahead and see who you identify as!
The Best Sex Positions That'll Guarantee an Orgasm From Oral Sex
When it comes to receiving oral sex, you're probably thinking foreplay: the real sex is yet to come. However, don't be mistaken. Oral sex can be just as hot and sensual as intercourse, and if done well, it can totally lead to an orgasm. Luckily, there are a few sex positions guaranteed to help you reach that "O" early on so you can then continue your winning streak and get multiple orgasms during the main event. Here are the top positions to try during oral sex for more pleasure and access.
Use a Pillow and Spread Wide
The easiest and a classic go-to is to lie on your back with your legs spread wide and have your partner kneeling or laying on their stomach in front of you. "To make this more enjoyable and orgasm easier to reach, elevate your hips on a small pillow. This gives your partner fuller access to your entire vulva and lets them see what they are doing - no fumbling in the dark," Dr. Holly Richmond, PhD, a licensed marriage and family therapist and AASECT-certified sex therapist, told POPSUGAR. "From this position, you can also adjust your hips so your partner is hitting exactly the right place on your clitoris or labia," she added. Remember, not every woman comes from clitoral stimulation, so don't miss an opportunity to be attentive to alternative erogenous zones, too.
Sit on Their Face
Face-sitting puts you firmly - or not so firmly - in charge of the experience. "Have your partner lay on their back while you straddle their head, lowering yourself down on to their mouth or tongue to the degree it feels most comfortable and at a pace that doesn't feel too rushed," Richmond said. You can take breaks if you start feeling hypersensitive (especially on your clitoris), and then go for it again when you are ready to orgasm.
Doggy-Style Oral
Doggy style for oral has enormous potential for creating some major orgasms. "Not only will your partner have a great view and be able to take verbal cues easily from you, but you can also move forward and back in the rhythm and pressure that feels best," said Richmond. "Bonus - anilingus gets top billing with this position. Don't forget the butt! There are thousands of nerve endings just below the vulva that deserve attention and can lead to multiple orgasms," she said.
Hug Your Knees and Make a Ball
"My clients report that this position is a go-to if they want to ensure they'll have an oral orgasm. It's a take on the traditional lying on your back with your partner between your legs, but instead of having your legs spread open, pull them together and bring your knees into your chest so you're in a small ball shape," said Richmond. This enables your partner to create a lot of suction on your clitoris or fully take your vulva in their mouth. You can gently rock back and forth to find exactly the right angle to get you to your O, she added.
Stand Up
Standing oral requires some skill on your part, as well as your partner's, but it can be hugely rewarding. "First of all, it's very sexy to look down on your partner and have them look up at you, making intimate eye contact or verbalizing how you want them to make you feel good. There's no room to be shy here - it's about you taking control of your pleasure," Richmond said. Many women find this "power position" incredibly erotic, she added, which leads to an amazing orgasm. "And your partner has room to move around and use their hands and fingers while you can utilize gravity to help find the right amount of pressure and resistance," she explains.
69
It's a classic, but it allows both partners to receive pleasure. "For simultaneous oral sex, I encourage couples to lay on a bed facing one another using pillows to prop up arms and legs that need to be open for access. The goal is to readjust as much as needed to find maximum comfort," Jenni Skyler, PhD, LMF, CST, AASECT-certified sex therapist, sexologist, and licensed marriage and family therapist for Adam & Eve, told POPSUGAR. Maximum comfort allows for maximum surrender, and surrender is what orgasm is all about.
If none of these positions do it for you, then switch around to find the best fit. "Every person is different. Some people may want to trade in comfort for erotic excitement," said Skyler. "For example, a woman may want to sit on a kitchen countertop with her legs in the air to receive oral sex. Though her butt and legs might get a little tired, the taboo eroticism of this may be just what the doctor ordered for that ideal orgasm," she said. Do what works for you!

I Masturbated Every Day For a Week - Here's What Happened
Growing up, I went to Catholic school. Do you remember the scene in Mean Girls where Coach Carr, the sex-ed teacher, basically tells them if they even think about sex, they'll die? Yeah, welcome to my world.
As I got older and became more rebellious than my parents would have liked, sexuality wasn't lost on me, and I began dabbling in sexual activities with some very cute (and some not-so-cute) boys. However, from an early age, I realized that masturbation would be the key to my own satisfaction.
Always a fan of pleasuring myself for the sake of the greater good - and I'm between relationships, so why the hell not make myself happy? - I spent a week masturbating to better inform you on what it's like, because, you know, science. Before I got down to business, I consulted Kate Thomas, PhD., APRN, an instructor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, to make sure I wouldn't be, um, fatiguing myself, for lack of a better word.
"People have varying sexual drives and appetites, so where we draw the line on how much is too much is unclear. The cutoffs . . . are more a matter of opinion."
"People have varying sexual drives and appetites, so where we draw the line on how much is too much is unclear. The cutoffs that sometimes are suggested by people in general, as well as health care professionals, are more a matter of opinion. Essentially, these are social or value-laden positions rather than an actual line that is backed by science and careful research," she said in an email interview with POPSUGAR. "There are many known benefits. It is an absolute safe sex behavior. It is an alternative to someone who does not have a partner. It is a way of experiencing and expressing one's sexuality. It is satisfying and relaxing. It can help an individual learn about their body and how they respond."
So, now that I was cleared to go, I asked her what would happen if I liked this change to my regularly scheduled programming a bit too much and continued it after my week was over. Honestly, I was concerned here that I would have less fulfilling orgasms the next time I did have partnered sex.
According to Thomas, "We believe that, generally speaking, masturbation and the accompanying benefit of knowing your body is helpful when having sex with a partner. If this is the case, it would demand that we teach our partners what is pleasurable for us. It can actually be helpful in stimulating this conversation. We think that masturbation has no downsides in human sexual interactions despite what is often promoted. It has the capacity to improve that relationship if both people accept that they want satisfying sexual experiences for both of them."
She also gave me the go-ahead to use toys - which I didn't ask about and was definitely going to use anyway - because while some people have a masturbation style that works for them, some like to change it up for a different feeling.
During the week, I tried my best to change up the timing depending on my mood and to see if I felt differently depending on when the act happened. In brutal honesty, I still have (really good) flashbacks of my most recent ex while I'm getting in the mood, which helps a lot during the process, but is an issue at the end. So, because I didn't want to mess this up, I instead tried to focus on the physical feelings and effects instead of the emotional and mental ones. I switched up the toys, too, from my favorite go-tos - the mini-wand and my newest fun toy from LELO, the GIGI 2 - to just my good ol' reliable fingers.
After a week of letting my fingers call the shots, I realized that the overall effects were minimal and were more noticeable after a morning masturbation session than an evening one. After getting a little action in the morning, I felt a bit more focused and determined throughout the day, but only to the point of getting one or two more tasks completed. Another surprising side effect? I found myself making better choices for my body. I chose workout classes over wine glasses and I ate more moderately. Getting off in the morning probably just made me feel sexier, and I am sure coupling that feeling with my recent weight loss just subconsciously helped.
However, I didn't see a difference at night. It didn't help me sleep better. I didn't feel more calm, less stressed, relieved . . . nothing. This was a little disappointing, because I'm pretty sure that in Catholic school they teach you that you should only have sex quietly at night with the lights off. Just me? OK.
I can tell you that I will keep on touching myself, because no matter what it does or does not do for me in the overall scheme of my life, for a few minutes, it makes me feel amazing. And everyone deserves to feel amazing every day.
Happy touching!
10 Secrets About Dirty Talk a Shy Person Should Know
So, you've found a sex partner who really lights your fire. You snag yourself some sexy lingerie, sweeten your skin with your favorite perfume, leave them breathless with your seductive gaze, but when you get to the bedroom, things suddenly feel . . . quiet. How could this be? The buildup to this moment was going so smoothly! How can all that sexual confidence go right down the drain the second things get real?
If you're a little on the shy side, you're probably all too familiar with this. Sex, something movies portray as the most graceful act in human nature, suddenly feels more like having stage fright in front of a harsh audience. Well, it doesn't have to. In fact, it doesn't have to feel stressful at all. Dirty talk can bring you and your partner closer, help you explore what turns you both on, and, most importantly, make sex so much more enjoyable. These 10 tips should definitely help ease you into it.
1. Relax - it's not a performance
Sex is vulnerable and often has all our insecurities flaring up at once. We're worried about the way our bodies look, whether our moans sound more like nails on a chalkboard than sexy, and a million other debilitating things. It's no wonder it can be hard to get a word out. Remember that truly intimate and satisfying sex is never a performance. No one is sitting there judging every word you say and every move you make. Try things out. Say a few silly things. Take some risks. The bedroom is meant for exploring and making discoveries about each other. How boring would sex be if we stuck to some artificial script? Sex is silly and awkward, and if you say a few silly and awkward things, laugh it off and keep going.
2. Be yourself
Maybe you're afraid your partner is expecting you to be a porn star in bed, saying all the nastiest and raunchiest things imaginable. Unless porn is your thing, this is not the case. Dirty talk has nothing to do with being a wanton sex maniac and you shouldn't feel pressured into emulating one. The beauty of sex is how different it is with everyone, how unique an experience it is with each person. Be yourself! Trust that your partner wants to pleasure you, not someone else. If you're feeling demure and gentle, go with that instinct. If you're feeling a bit naughtier than usual, play with that. There is no right or wrong path to take, unless it's not true to your needs.
3. Think sexy thoughts
It's the most frustrating thing in the world when your mind starts wandering during sex. You're trying to focus on bringing you and your partner to climax and suddenly you're thinking about drama at work or how you need to go to the DMV in the morning. This usually happens when you're already nervous. How can we dirty talk with conviction if we've got stress on our minds? Take a step back and get in your sexy zone. Think about what turns you on. Maybe it's something your partner did over dinner that really got you going. Maybe it's a fantasy you've always had. When you're really in the zone, the words will flow from you. You won't have to worry about it. Say the first thing that comes to mind, whenever you're ready to say it.
4. Focus on your partner
If you try too hard to conjure your sensuous side, it could have the adverse effect of feeling more like work than pleasure. If you just can't seem to tap into your erotic center, focus all your energy on your partner. Take them in. Bury yourself in them. Think about how attractive you find them, how good it feels to be connected to them, or how badly you want them. Tell them about it. Let them know what it is you love about them. It will get you both going so fast, you'll probably forget you were worried in the first place.
5. Ask them questions
Don't forget to invite them to be part of the conversation. Ask them what they want you to do to them, what they love about you, or how long they've wanted you for. Ask them what their hottest fantasy is. Hey, your partner might be nervous about dirty talk too! They might need a little help through the process as well. Ask them to tell you what you want to hear about yourself. There's nothing wrong with asking your partner how sexy they think you are. Feeling sexy is what it's all about!
6. Tell them what you want
Sometimes we're so nervous about impressing our partner, we forget about our own sexual needs. Don't worry about being perceived as too demanding or audacious when telling your partner what it is you need from them. First of all, being told what to do in bed is dangerously sexy and they'll likely feel inspired to blow your mind even further. Second of all, if they don't care about your needs in bed, they're selfish and that's probably not someone you want to be sleeping with.
7. Reminisce with each other
Another way to dirty talk with your partner is to bring up a memory you share together. Maybe you have been dating for a while and the first time you met you were wearing a slinky dress that caught their eye. Why not bring that dress up? Perhaps you met earlier that evening and it's a one-night stand. Bring up how jealous they were when they saw you dancing with someone else. This will drag all the sexy imprints you've left on each other out of your minds and right into the bedroom, deepening the hunger between you.
8. Enact a fantasy
It might seem horribly cliché, but some of the most intense and adventurous sex happens when you free each other from the boundaries of real life. If you're coming up empty, why not try a little role play? It can get you out of your head to pretend things between you two are different than they really are. You could pretend your partner is a police officer who would rather have sex with you than give you the speeding ticket you deserve. Maybe you could pretend your partner is your lover and you only have an hour with them before your husband or wife gets home. The possibilities are endless! This may not be for everyone, but it's a great thing to try if you feel like there's not enough juice in your sexual material at the moment.
9. Less can mean more
Dirty talk has so many exhilarating qualities, but at the end of the day, it's not the most important thing. Every sexual encounter is different and has its own special tone and feeling. Let the mood of the experience inform you whether or not it's time to talk. Sometimes the hottest sex can be devoid of words. Maybe you're in a place of such deep pleasure, all you can do is moan. You're feeling so alive in your body and stringing together a sentence is nowhere on your mind. Remember that dirty talk is never a necessity. It's more of a very tasty cherry on top.
10. Try sexting
If you don't even know where to start, sexting is amazing practice. Why not start the conversation long before you guys even have sex? Send your partner a naughty text while they're at work, letting them know how badly you want them. Describe everything you wish they were doing to you. This is your opportunity to test things out and gauge what kind of dirty talk works between you two. If anything, it'll turn them on to the point of insanity. They'll be desperate for you and want to see you as soon as possible.

12 Cult Products From the Body Shop That You Need to Try at Least Once
Ever since it was founded in 1976, The Body Shop has made a name for itself by offering a wide range of high-performing, budget-friendly hair care, skin care, body care, and cosmetics. But perhaps even bigger than its offerings - and another draw for consumers - is its heart. It was the first global beauty brand to take a stand against animal testing in cosmetics and takes measures to ensure products stay 100 percent cruelty-free and vegetarian (a portion are also vegan!).
The Body Shop also has a vested interest in preserving the environments from which its ingredients are sourced, using proceeds to help restore rainforests and habitats and striving to be the world's most ethical and truly sustainable global business. (Did we mention that the products are also really good, smell delicious, and are completely habit-forming?)
From the liquid peel that sold out everywhere at launch to the lip and cheek stain celebs can't get enough of, read on for some of the brand's most innovative and beloved products. Once you try them, you'll see what all the brand's hype is all about.
