It's Handled: 10 Sex Tips Inspired by Scandal

1. Stare at each other for one minute. Approximately half of the times that Fitz and Olivia have sex, they are doing it only with their eyes. So set a timer and start staring. If it doesn't last for exactly one excruciating minute, it doesn't count. This can be used as foreplay, or if you're feeling ambitious, the main event.

2. Have sex in a closet. Any closet will do, but for added levels of sexiness, use one that's 1) not in your own home and 2) full of electrical equipment.

3. Hire a friend to stand guard outside your apartment. You know, to simulate the omniscient Secret Service guys that follow Fitz everywhere. Someone out there would definitely do this for money. Once the fake guard is in place, you just have sex in the bed as usual, but with the added knowledge that a person in your hallway can probably hear you. You could also invite a different friend over (who doesn't know about your presidential sex game), just so the first friend can deny them entry and be like, "Sorry, but you can't go in there right now. I don't care who you are!"

4. Videotape yourself. Nearly every time Olivia has sex with Fitz or Jake, it's being videotaped or audiotaped. You don't necessarily have to watch the tape after you're done, but knowing that the lens is watching is kind of a turn-on. Just don't let B613 get hold of it.

5. Do it on a desk. You must prepare for this by getting dressed up in your nicest outfits. If you're feeling crafty, make a presidential seal to hang on the wall behind you so it looks like the Oval Office. Hide a camera somewhere nearby, but make sure to position yourself out of its range. Now take off only your underwear, and have at it on the desk.

6. Have your man go down on you in the kitchen. It's the best place to have a guy show off his alleged "superpowers," because if he's not good at it, you can just turn around, open the fridge, and have a snack. Boom! Night salvaged.

7. Build a blanket fort on the floor. Then have sex amidst the blankets. It helps if you do this in a giant Vermont mansion your boyfriend bought for you so you can move there in your golden years and make jam, but a regular living room will probably work.

8. Visit a museum to get in the mood. Show off your obscure knowledge of old historical artifacts — knowledge is sexy! But maybe don't open a case and touch anything, because unless you are the president, you will get thrown out of there faster than Fitz can shoot down a plane.

9. Bone in the shower. An oldie, but goodie. Even Olivia Pope can't get creative all the time.

10. Just do it all over the house. Jake and Olivia know that when all else fails, every room is your canvas. When you're done, yell, "It's handled!" Then go to Gettysburger, because you're obvi going to be hungry after having sex in all of the rooms.
