Great sex is not such a matter of techniques as creating a better connection with your sexual partner.
However, there are a few simple things you can do in the bedroom that will help heat things up quickly.
Here are a few great tips:

1. Pick a pace.
   Do you want to have a fast and furious quickie or do you want to spend some time on a leisurely few hours of lovemaking.
   While this may be dependent on how much time you have available, it's also important to read your partner's mood.
   In general, men are too hasty with sex, unaware that women generally take a lot longer to get turned on.
   If she's in the mood for a quickie, fine, but if you have the time the man should always go slower than he feels is natural.
   
2. Vary the pace.
   Varying the pace from fast to slow and back again can be a real turn on.
   Obviously there are times when you will not be so aware of measuring the pace, as for example when you are at the point of being close to orgasm.
   However at other times you can tease each other a little by varying the pace which will add to the sexual tension and pleasure.
   
3. Undress each other.
   Rather than simply 'getting out of your clothes' why not use that as an opportunity to build the erotic tension as well.
   You can touch each other teasingly and erotically at the same time.
   
4. Give each other a massage.
   It doesn't need to be a full-on, two hour, all body massage, but even just a short back rub can help the sense of anticipation.
   It also has the added benefit of helping you to relax, a great idea if you have had a stressful day.
   An if you don't know the other person too well it gives you an added opportunity to learn a bit more about their body and which spots are especially sensitive.
   
5. Include oral.
   Virtually at the top of nearly everyone's list of sexual pleasures is receiving oral.
   You should involve lots of oral at every opportunity in a sexual encounter.
   Women sometimes complain that if men receive oral that don't want to stop until thy ejaculate.
   If that is the case (and the woman doesn't want that to happen) she should communicate it to the man.
   Conversely many women orgasm through oral far more readily that through penetration so oral to completion for a woman should be seriously considered.
   
6. Know where the G spot is.
   The G spot is located about 2 inches inside a woman's vagina, on the upper side closest to her stomach.
   It is felt as a slightly rougher, thicker piece of skin.
   It is not always stimulated through intercourse, but a well positioned finger, either stroking or gently pressing can do amazing things to intensify a woman's pleasure.
   

These are some things which every couple should consider to intensify their sexual pleasure.
