We tend to think of seduction as something we do at the beginning of a relationship. After all, is the act of showing our interest, our availability, our desires and our urge to have sexual contact with the person whom we are trying to seduce. Night-clubs are obvious places to see examples of seduction, dancing is an ideal way of seducing somebody. However, seduction isn't reserved for new relationships, it can also spice up old relationships too.

When the honeymoon period has slipped past the relationship a couple can find themselves getting a little complacent. The sparkle goes and although the sex might still be good, the ?Wow? factor has gone because some of the passion has been lost. It is a mistake to put this down to familiarity and to think that all relationships end up like this. A lot of people fall into this way of thinking, but all it takes is a little seduction to remedy it.

To show your partner that you sexually desire them and that you want them sexually right away is the key to bringing the sparkle back. Saying it doesn't have the same effect you must show them. Like they say, actions speak louder than words.

Here are some seduction techniques that you could try?

After a long herd day at work who would turn down a sensual massage? Get some warming massage oil and start by massaging your partners neck and shoulders. After a while, make an excuse to mover their top. Then continue massaging adding soft kisses as you go. Slowly let the passion build, let the kisses turn to nuzzling and allow your hands to slowly wander down to massage the chest and tummy.

For the girls, use sexy lingerie to seduce your man. Have a bath or shower to freshen up and to make your skin soft and then slip into something more comfortable and slightly revealing. Apply some high shine lip-gloss to your lips and slowly enter the room. Linger long enough for the lingerie to work its magic and cuddle up next to him and maybe caress his hand or arm. Touching and flicking your hair is an unspoken ?come on? signal. If you need a more in your face approach, sit on his lap, be alluring and strike up a sexy conversation about erotic fantasies.

Long-term couples forget the power of a snog on the sofa. Seduce your partner by initiating a lamp lit snogging session on the sofa. You could do this by offering them a Malteezer that you are holding in your teeth. Whilst your snogging start off with lots of non sexual but intimate touching, hold you lovers face as you kiss them, stroke their head and neck, run your fingers through their hair. A quick tip ? a freshly cleaned mouth is so much more inviting to kiss.

Strip tease is a very old tried and tested technique for seduction. There are many books, DVD's and websites available offering instruction on how to perform an erotic dance or strip tease to seduce your lover. The important thing to focus on is the ?tease? and not the ?strip?. Take your time, make it last, really tease him and let the passion build.

It does take some effort to re-find seduction, but if you keep working at it you will soon get back into the habit of seducing your partner and you will find that you can seduce them whilst they are washing up, taking a shower, ironing or doing anything, anywhere. Feel like young lovers again and keep the passion alive in your relationship.
