Sex File: My husband refuses to put the heating on and the cold bedroom is ruining sex for us

Even a bit of warmth will improve your sex life as it instantly gives you more options

Sexual variety is about feeling relaxed - and physically comfortable enough - to explore each other's bodies. Picture: iStock

Our sex life is becoming really boring because my husband refuses to put the heating on. It means we're just hiding under the duvet because the room is so cold at night. It was quite cosy and fun at first, but it doesn't do much for variety.

It's only just November and most people are still wearing sweaters, so if your bedroom is already glacial I can't imagine what you are going to do when deep winter actually arrives. Fuel crisis or not, I would argue that you have a right to challenge your husband's decision to keep the heating off 24/7. You don't need to heat your bedroom all day long, but you could surely have the heating on for a bit before you go to bed.
