It's not uncommon to have some anxieties about how well you're performing in the bedroom. And while whatever sex you and your partner are comfortable with is "good" sex, there is always some room to improve the mood.

Set the "stage" for a romantic night.
While you might be content having sex on your same old Ikea sheets in a room draped in unwashed laundry, if you want better sex, you may want to improve your environment.
Take some time, clean up your space, light a candle or at least spray some air freshener and strike up some mood lighting. This can show your partner that you're emotionally invested and boost your connection during sex, Alicia Sinclair, certified sex educator, sex coach and founder of b-Vibe& Le Wand, told INSIDER.
Talk about sex outside the bedroom.
Pillow-talk is a great time to get your desires out there, but it's not always the most productive.
If you want to boost your connection and enjoyment in the bedroom, that starts with talking about your desires during your everyday life. Try bringing up what you'd like out of your next romp in the sheets during a road-trip or walk around the block, sexologist Megan Stubbs told INSIDER.
"Try to start a conversation with your partner in a neutral location," she said. "It is best not to spring new discussions when you are in bed. This removes the pressure from your partner to act or answer in a way that would keep the peace before bed. Car rides are a great location for starting a dialogue."
Stop comparing yourself to others.
It can be hard not to compare yourself to images in the media, so it's no surprise that many people struggle with worrying if they are having "good sex."
Sex therapist Angie Gunntold INSIDER that putting this of your mind is imperative to improving your sex life.
"One of the biggest mistakes related to sex that I observe in couples is applying assumptions, past experiences, or media constructed ideas about sex to their sex," Gunn said. "Pleasurable, connective sex is often nothing like the models we've been given or images we've observed. Bodies, positions, sounds, and acts are way more diverse, creative and beautiful than the boxes we try to impose."
