2. Laughing doesn’t hurt: sex and humor go hand in hand because they promote relaxation, the release of happiness hormones and a good relationship in bed.

3. Eliminate expectations: things will not always go as planned. You don’t have to meet the other person’s expectations, just have fun and be there.
