Feng shui your bedroom
Use feng shui -- the ancient Chinese philosophy of creating harmony with the universe through objects -- to spring clean your sex life: Angle the bed so that you and your lover face the door when you're sitting up; wrap the legs of your bed in red; and clear the area beneath your bed of any dirt or clutter.
