10 mistakes we make in bed 2026

Sex within a couple is a moment of intimacy for both, of connection. It is the only moment in which you truly feel the other party in a more intimate and pleasant way.

Taking care of him as much as possible is an essential task to continue keeping communication and trust intact between the two of you. Believe it or not, there are ten very common mistakes that we all tend to make and that we should nip in the bud so that the act is as pleasant as possible.

Do you want to know them? We bring you the complete decalogue so that you can correct everything you can.

We often think that our partner's pleasure is in our hands

Each person's pleasure is its own thing. Obviously, it is a very positive point to know what our partner likes and how to please them. But, if we know our body well and tell the other party what we like, we will have a lot of ground gained.

Not giving enough importance to the preliminaries

This point usually impoverishes sexual life quite a bit since we only give importance to one part of the body, subtracting from it the others that are equally pleasurable (masturbation, oral sex, kisses, erotic massages,...). Expanding the variety of techniques during the sexual encounter is a way to enrich yourself and expand desire.

Thinking that desire must arise without doing anything

Even if you think not, sexual desire with our partner changes throughout the relationship. It is something normal and far from remaining passive waiting for “inspiration” to come, we must incite it by changing the techniques for it. As? Fantasizing and opening up to new activities.

Here we leave you a few techniques to regain your sexual desire.

Compare what we have with things we have seen, read or heard

Each person is different and each one likes a different thing. We must be clear about what these preferences are to have a full sexual life.

Giving excessive importance to the duration of the orgasm

No matter how hard you try, the most beautiful thing about a sexual encounter is to enjoy and have a good time with the other party. What matters the least is how long the act will last or if you will have an orgasm or not. The path taken to reach it is equally or more important than the end.

be in a hurry

Although “a quick one” can be exciting in some cases, in others it can be uncomfortable and even painful. It is important to agree with the couple if we want a quick or calmer meeting so that you both agree and are comfortable with the decision.

fall into routine

Although routine may appeal to a few, it usually makes most people feel bored and tired. There is nothing better for a fulfilling sexual life than innovating. Try doing it at another time of day, in a very different place or with very innovative positions. The result will be much better than you imagine.

Do you want to learn to escape from routine? Here are the definitive tips

Prioritize quantity over quality

Above the number of times you have sexual relations throughout the month, the quality of these relations prevails. It will always be better to do it less often and make it more pleasant, rather than having many relationships in which one of the parties is not satisfied. Make sure that you both end up full and satisfied with the sexual relationship.

Not focusing enough

Thinking about what we have to do the next day or even about something erotic that has happened to us before is something that makes the act lose quality. Focus on what you are liking, the fantasies you are having or what you are doing at the moment with your partner, without thinking about anything else. Let yourself be carried away by the moment.

Take all the partners you have equally

Not all of us like the same things and, probably, things that you did with your previous partner (if you had one) you cannot do with your current one or the opposite. It must be taken into account that communication is essential in these cases.
