Clinical Psychologist Prachi S Vaish puts together 5 seemingly small and very easy to follow love-strategies that'll help you and your man intensify the romance.

1. Wet and wild

Next weekend when he wakes up early to wash his car, don’t just turn around and sleep. Surprise him by meeting him by the car in your sexy shorts and create your own hot movie scene right there by washing it together! This time would be just for the two of you and believe me, there’s no girl that doesn’t look sexy with wet clothes and soap suds!

2. Gourmet tasters

If both of you love chocolate, or wine or any such indulgent food, why not make it a weekly ritual to taste an exotic flavour or brand? Keep the box or bottle by your bed, and lose yourself in its rich pleasure together. Don’t forget to feed each other, no self-service allowed!

3. Photo journeys

He’s a photography enthusiast? Why not plan a photography trip to somewhere exotic which may not be a tourist destination but has immense potential for the cameras? Being in a secluded place like this would bring you closer and very soon you’ll be the only model for your shutterbug!

4. Secret signals

In the mood for some romance but feeling shy to come right out and say it? How about setting up some secret codes that don’t need words? Like colour coded candles - a red candle burning in your room can tell him you’re in the mood for some loving; a lavender candle can signify the need for a heart-to-heart talk or a white one can show him you want to cuddle.

5. Go for erotica

Do you know how surprised men get when they realise how erotic M&B’s actually are? But don’t take our word for it...while reading in bed, read a passage aloud to him and watch his jaw drop! Don’t grudge him his Playboys and Penthouse...instead have your own secret pleasure stash like Nancy Friday, Desire Mills and Boons etc. and tantalise him by leaving him to wonder what you do when you’re alone!
