His kisses lit me up like a pinball machine.But when we got into bed, and he started moving south – well, his technique did too.I like the slow build of the tango, and he was doing the jitterbug. Soon, my brain started whirring: Should I say something? Stop him?

Somehow, I pulled a big finish out of thin air.Bad sex is like being stuck in gridlock traffic: You’re there for the duration. And you wonder, with a mix of disappointment and frustration, if you’re ever going get where you want to be. You’re hardly alone in that particular jam.What is Spectatoring?Sexual disconnect is one of the main reasons couples land in sex therapists’ offices.

In fact, it happens so frequently that there’s actually a term for it: spectatoring.“You take yourself out of the moment,” explains Michele Sugg, a certified sex therapist in Branford, Conn., “and you’re kind of watching from above thinking, When will this be done? When should I fake an orgasm?

Will he hurry up, because I’m going numb?” Of course, so-so sex is the worst when you love a man and can see yourself riding off into the sunset with him. That’s when you really have to take the reins in hand and train your stallion to be the lover you want.

But does it really matter, those of us with a cynical side might ask, especially if everything else in the relationship is clicking?The answer, simply put, is yes. “Sex is the bond that repairs the wear and tear of life together,” says Pepper Schwartz, Ph.D., author of Frommer’s/AARP Places for Passion: The 75 Most Romantic Destinations in the World (FrommerMedia).Every long-term relationship has some angst, conflict and turmoil, she says.“[Sex] brings you back together and makes you feel like you’re able to connect and love again.”But transforming a lackluster lover into a breathtaking bed partner requires courage, creativity and tact.Here are 6 ways to create your own Casanova: 1.

Quit Faking It Your guy is trying to get from point A (foreplay) to point B (your orgasm).But he’s never going to get there if you keep sending him down the wrong road. And that’s exactly what you’re doing if you give an Academy Award-winning performance that tells him he’s found your sweet spot when he’s not even in the ballpark.Put another way, if you fake it a lot you won’t get what you need because you’re steering your man in the wrong direction, Schwartz says.But there are times when it’s OK to “bring in some smoke and mirrors,” Schwartz says.

In this case, “the guy needs reinforcement, and your relationship needs reinforcement. So just give him the orgasm.”Or perhaps his ego is linked to whether or not you climax.“Some men take it very personally [if you don’t have an orgasm],” Schwartz explains. “If you don’t want to do relationship work at that moment but you’ll do it later, then you might want to do a great enactment of an orgasm.”Still, pull this trick out only on rare occasions.

“It really will backfire on both of you if this becomes the ongoing answer to what is essentially a communication and relationship issue,” Schwartz cautions.One more crucial point: If you do fall back on theatrics, take it to your grave.“Don’t ever tell” your partner, she advises. “Once you tell them, they’ll wonder if you’re ever real.”2.

Speak Up, Nicely As children we all learned that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything. Which is fine when Great Aunt Gertrude gives you a puce, hand-knitted sweater.But staying silent doesn’t apply to your bedroom partner; so you’ll need to find a way to speak your mind when it comes to sex.“Everybody’s responsible for their own orgasm,” says Richard Siegel, a certified sex therapist in Boynton Beach, Fla.

“If you’re too embarrassed or self-conscious [to talk about it], that’s a sign of a problem right out of the gate.”Be diplomatic, though. People think the other person will be hurt, Sugg says. “Or they get frustrated because they haven’t said anything and by the time they do, it comes out in a snarky way," Sugg says.That’s one reason to nip a problem in the bud (or bed), ideally.

You can spare his feelings by combining a teeny white lie (“Mmm, that feels nice”) with some focused, detailed guidance (“What would really send me to the moon is if you [your preference here].”).For example, does your partner have a tendency to cut to the main course while you want to linger over appetizers? Put a positive spin on your desire to slow down by saying something like, “This feels so good; can we do it a while longer?”“Instruct people in an erotic way,” Sugg says, “and it will probably be received pretty wonderfully.”If you’ve been faking for a while now, Schwartz offers this escape hatch: Simply tell him, “That technique is hit or miss. Every now and then I’ll have an orgasm that way, but really I need it this way.”3.

Tell – and Show Guys are visual. If words alone aren’t getting the message across, tap your inner porn star and simply show him what you want.“A lot of men love to watch women masturbate,” Sugg says.Or take his hand and gently demonstrate how hard or soft you want to be touched.“For a woman to say, ‘I would love it if you would touch me like this’ would be awesome [for most men],” Siegel says. Or try this: Show your guy the kind of caresses you enjoy by licking or sucking on his fingers, Sugg suggests.

Maybe you’ll discover you both like role-play or want to try some of the positions in the Kama Sutra.The exercise helps couples learn “that sex is about mutual pleasuring and fun and sharing intimacy instead of performance and pressure,” Siegel says.5.

It’s a win-win situation.Getting him to talk about what he wants and what you could do to heighten his pleasure opens the door for you to express what you want in bed, Schwartz says.The result? Your mind will stop wandering to the pile of work on your desk and you might even call in sick so you can spend more time in the sack.
