ALWAYS make an effort. Look after your appearance, wear sexy undies and the perfume or aftershave your partner loves.

DEVELOP hobbies together. Sharing interests brings you closer which helps your sex life, too.

GET hot and sweaty in the gym. It keeps you fit and releases the same chemicals that flood your body when you're turned on.

EXPERIMENT. Try sex toys and saucy underwear, now available on the high street in stores like Ann Summers, or buy online at www.gash.co.uk

EVEN if you don't have sex every night, make sure there are lots of kisses and cuddles.

TRY natural aphrodisiacs. The herbs damiana, ginseng and horny goat weed are said to boost libido. But check with your GP first if you have a heart condition.

DINE out together at least once a fortnight, without your children or grandkids. Have a meal - then an early night.
