If you want to be better in bed, you need to do your homework! Try Dr. Laura Berman's weekly homework assignment, designed to help you ace your sex life.

Seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling all provide sensory information to shape your experiences. In fact, the senses offer you a mainline to your sexuality by communicating with you powerfully and largely unconsciously.

Tuning in toward the senses allows you to rediscover your primal, sexual self in a world of stress and stimulation overload. Here are a few things you can try to get in sync with your senses:

  • Polish your appearance
  • Pay your partner an unexpected compliment
  • Give your partner a gentle stroke across his back
  • Share some some sensual food
  • Notice your partner's fragrance-free scent
Let your senses guide you to a whole new level this week!
