7. They Masturbate

There’s no better way to amp up your partnered sex life than to make time for solo sex, too. In addition to learning more about your body, having a “healthy relationship with [your] own pleasure,” as Brim puts it, is a great way to increase your own libido. By being a sexual frame of mind more often, even just on your own, you put yourself in the mood, which will translate into your sex life with your SO, too.

8. They Make Time For Sex

It might seem like there aren’t enough hours in the day, but couples who make time for sex rather than making excuses are going to have more active sex lives, period. Taking charge and setting aside romantic alone time — daily, weekly, whatever works for you — can have major benefits for your sex life. You don’t have to ‘schedule sex’. Rather, take a couple hours to just have an intimate moment away from the couch and potato chips, and then see where that leads (my guess is the bedroom).

9. They Aren’t Afraid To Lose Control

There’s probably a reason everyone on dating apps has a skydiving picture — people are drawn to adventurous spirits. Brim says that the ability to let loose is common for couples who have frequent sex. It goes hand-in-hand with spicing things up in the bedroom: If you and your partner are open-minded about sex and don’t like to play by the rules, it will be easier for the two of you to have a passionate, spontaneous sex life — and that’s hot AF.

At the end of the day, Brim has only one piece of advice: “A healthy sex life starts with you. Loving and taking care of your body, cultivating a relationship with your sexuality, and making time for sex because you value your pleasure, your partner’s satisfaction, and what sex does for you as an individual and the relationship.”
