The Sex Chair That Turned Our Love Life Into An ORGASM PARTY

Hands down, one of the best things I've ever purchased.

My husband and I have been married for five years (together for eight), and we have two kids under the age of three. As you can probably imagine, our sex life has had its ebbs and flows. I also suffer from chronic back and neck pain as well as carpal tunnel, which not only causes a lot of pain, but also makes me feel like a grandma rather than a youthful sexy woman.

Despite all these obstacles, we both wanted to do something to re-ignite the fire and bring regular sex back into our lives.

We talked about scheduling sex or even trying one of those sex regimes where you just have sex every night, whether you're in the mood or not for 30 days until it becomes routine. But none of those options felt very romantic, and even after many years of marriage and two kids I still need a little romance to enjoy sex.

We continued to just have sporadic sex when both of our schedules lined up and we weren't two exhausted (or too achy), but it became more and more infrequent. My husband was always trying to initiate, which, while flattering, eventually made me feel guilty for not being as eager as he was.

So, I started doing research to find a solution and the answer I found really surprised me: A sex chair.

OK, it's not actually called a sex chair — it's called The Tantra Chair — and it's amazing. It's designed to contour the lines of the human body and allow you to have sex in a ton of different positions with the support of the chair. It's also classy looking, so it doesn't feel like a scene from 50 Shades of Grey in our bedroom.

The sex positions recommended by the company are inspired by Kamasutra and demonstrated in some pretty steamy videos on its website.

There are knock off versions out there that are a little cheaper, but they definitely aren't as classy and they don't have the very important feature of being anti-stain and anti-microbial (pretty key in a chair that's specifically for sex).

The Tantra Chair

We've been using the chair for about a month now and here's a few things we've learned:

1. We've discovered a few of our own favourite positions.

We like to start and end with one of the more basic ones (like both sitting upright facing each other, with one leg on each side of the chair), and then experiment with some more adventurous positions in the middle. We aren't quite up to Cirque du Soleil-level like the couple in the videos, but I have faith we'll get there.

2. The added leverage makes sex ten times better.

The best part, for me, is that the chair provides so much support that my back and neck never hurt, and the added leverage makes sex feels incredible. No more trying to grab the headboard and constantly slipping down the bed. And let's just say the level of grinding has been taken to a whole new level — and I'm not complaining.

3. I feel infinitely sexier.

The other thing I love about the Tantra Chair is that I feel so much sexier on it. The lines of the chair encourage you to lean back and arch your back, which flattens out my post-baby pooch and makes my boobs extremely perky. We also happen to have a mirror really close to the chair and I can't help but watch as we make love.

Overall, I'm so thankful that the answer to our dry spell was solved with a piece of furniture, which is a much better use of money than years of therapy and frustration. If you're feeling a lull in your love life or you don't feel sexy in the bedroom, I highly recommend this chair.

How Losing Weight Can Be Bad For Your Relationship

You might think that losing weight would spice up your love life - but new research suggests the truth can sometimes be very different.

Many relationships hit the rocks when one partner succeeds in losing a substantial amount of weight, a report suggests.

They break down because the partner who has shed the pounds starts nagging their other half to do the same, the research shows. (Read: Social Media Relationships)

The study, by North Carolina State University and the University of Texas at Austin, found there can be a ‘dark side’ to weight loss, if both partners are not equally committed to making lifestyle changes.

Some partners would make critical comments toward their significant other, be less interested in sex, or try to sabotage their partner with unhealthy food in order to derail their efforts and prevent the partner - and the relationship - from changing.

‘People need to be aware that weight loss can change a relationship for better or worse, and that communication plays an important role in maintaining a healthy relationship,’ said Dr Lynsey Romo, an assistant professor of communication at North Carolina State University.

One partner in each couple had lost at least 30 pounds in less than two years, with an average weight loss of about 60 pounds.

The participants were each asked about the impact of the weight loss on their relationship.

The researchers found that, after weight loss, the couples’ communication generally changed for the better.

The partner who lost weight was more likely to talk about healthy behaviours and to inspire their partner to make healthy lifestyle changes.

Couples in which both partners were receptive to these healthy changes reported a better relationship both sexually and emotionally.

However, in some cases, weight loss fractured the relationships.

Some partners who lost weight nagged their significant other to follow their lead, which caused tension in the relationship.

Other partners who hadn’t lost weight reported feeling threatened and insecure by their partner’s weight loss.

They would make critical comments toward their significant other, be less interested in sex, or try to sabotage their partner with unhealthy food in order to derail their efforts and prevent the partner - and the relationship - from changing.

‘This study found that one partner’s lifestyle change influenced the dynamic of couples’ interaction in a variety of positive or negative ways, tipping the scale of romantic relationships in a potentially upward or downward direction,’ Dr Romo said.

‘When both partners bought into the idea of healthy changes and were supportive of one another, weight loss appeared to bring people closer.

‘When significant others resisted healthy changes and were not supportive of their partner’s weight loss, the relationship suffered.

‘This study should not dissuade anyone from losing excess weight, but it should encourage people to be aware of the potential pros and cons of weight loss on their relationships. (Read: 10 Dating Tips to Make Dating Work for You!)

‘It is really important for the partner of someone trying to lose weight to be supportive of their significant other without feeling threatened by their health changes.

‘This approach will help people lose weight without jeopardising the quality of their relationships.’
