Need a confidence boost in the bedroom? Relate’s sex therapist, Denise Knowles, says: ‘If you’re stressed, you won’t fancy sex. To feel calm, breathe in for seven seconds, then out for 11.’ And it helps to share sexy moments. ‘A flirty text is sure to enhance your mood,’ she adds. If performing is a problem, ask about the Boots Erectile Dysfunction Service†. Initial screening and treatment costs £55. Ask your Boots pharmacist or go to www.boots.com/ED for info.
