1 Change your bikini line. Just as a new haircut can make you feel like a whole new woman, a new loinscape can make you feel like a whole new lover. A simple change like a trim will work wonders, or go all out by shaving a heart shape into your nethers and dying your locks bright pink.

2 Go to your underwear drawer right away and discard all but your most comfy and favourite pair of washed-out Bridget Jones pants. Now you’ve made space for some new sexy undies. Buy tactile fabrics you feel comfortable and sexy in – and opt for shocking shades such as hot red, neon pink or electric blue. Knowing you’ve got sexy lingerie underneath your daywear will be a turn-on for both you and your man.

3 Use your mobile phone to take a photo of your hand reaching inside your sexy new knickers and then send the snapshot to your lover at the stroke of midnight with a text saying ‘Ready for a hot 2010?’.

(PelvicFloorExercises.co.uk) recommends two varieties of toning: slow Kegels and fast Kegels. For slow Kegels, slowly clench your pelvic muscles, pulling them up as far as you’re able, and then hold for five seconds while continuing to breathe normally, and then slowly release them. Repeat five times. Fast Kegels are performed in the same way, only you rapidly clench and release the muscles 10 times in quick succession. Aim to perform three sets of five slow then 10 fast Kegels a day for a month, then double your repetitions in February and triple them in March, then maintain that routine for the rest of 2010 – meaning you’ll be doing 135 clenches a day.

If this is starting to sound suspiciously like a traditional New Year’s resolution – ie all work and no play – think again. One of the best ways to do this workout is while masturbating. A slimline vibrator inside you provides resistance in the form of something to squeeze against and the possibility of orgasms gives as much motivation as a sexy semi-clad personal trainer would. BY 2011… You will be skilled in the art of ‘milking’ – the act of being able to sit astride a man and stimulate him by moving nothing other than your pelvic muscles.
