A reader asked the girld next door the following question in Men's Health:
Q: My wife just lies there during sex. How can I encourage more action?
The Girl Next Door Answers:First, a question: Is she loglike outside of the bedroom? Because if she doesn't exercise, stretch, dance -- anything -- it's going to take some effort to bring out her inner sex bunny. Before she can enjoy your body, she has to start enjoying her own. Invite her to go hiking, or buy her a gift certificate for yoga classes. Anything that will get her blood flowing is likely to liven up her sexual M.O. by raising her confidence in her body. If she's already active yet carnally comatose, try to reconnect with her in a sensual way. Suggest taking a long, soapy shower together or trading full-body rubdowns in bed, and lavish her body with attention. Nothing softens a woman up or turns her on like a little pampering.
