Re: Join our Sexathon! Enter to Win 4 Nights in St. Lucia

  • We kiss often, not just pecks

    Admiring glances and caresses are next

    Play mood music, lights down low

    Nothing's hurried, move real slow

    Be creative - with positions and toys

    Remember that sex is meant to enjoy!

    Be romantic & loving. Never pushy or rude.

    Always get naked before you snooze.

    Make love often, keep things fun

    And your sex life will rock for many years to come.

     

     

  • We have at least one or two nights a week we try to watch no tv in the bedroom! it gives us time alone or there is alway a quick fun shower in the am! Wink
  • Whenever we are going to be apart from each other instead of doing the regular quick smooch for a "goodbye kiss" we extend it to a steamy make out type of kiss. It doesnt matter if we are going to be apart for the 9 hours were at work, 45 mins while grocery shopping or a couple of hours were with our friends. That way while we are apart, that hot and heavy kiss is on our mind and we cant wait to get home to one another.

  • I refuse to wear old tattered undies. Extra sexy or just fun and flirty. It makes me feel sexy and keeps DH excited.
  • Watch a sexy movie together. There are some fun ones for the women that have somewhat of a story line as well.
  • One moment I will always remember is the day my husband and I went four wheeling in the rain. There was something about the summer rain storm, riding in the middle of the forest. It was so surreal... and after 13 years of marriage... we still have it.. lol Embarrassed
  • We have a "no TV in the bedroom" rule. The bedroom is a place we use to reconnect from a frenetic day, and not having a TV allows us to do that.

  • No television in the bedroom! If we want to just zone out in front of the tv, we can do so on the couch in the living room, but the bedroom is for spending our time together. No distractions, it's just he and I every night.
  • My honey is an over-the-road truck driver, so we generally only get to see one another on the weekends. That both helps and hurts. It helps because we view our time together as precious. Hurts because he's often exhausted when he comes home (not to mention I usually work weekends). That means I have to make sure sex looks better than sleep!

    To do that, I stocked up on those cheap valentines cards that we all gave out in elementary school. I take the time each week when I'm missing him to write on 10-20 of them. I'll write anything from a simple "I love you" to something downright erotic. I hide them all over his truck, in his files, the atlas, in his duffel bag, etc. That way he has fun finding them at random as the week goes on. I always know when he's found a "good" one because my phone will light up with a sexy text message response. He's told me more than once that he anticipates coming home to me more and more with each one he finds.

    It used to be that we had a hard time finding the energy to be intimate when he was home on the weekends. Now I'm lucky if I can manage to squeak out a "hello" on Friday night when he gets home before he's all over me. :) 

    I didn't ask to fall in love with a man this far from coffee shops and sushi...
  • The way my Husband and I keep things sizzling is by showing how attracted we are to each other through out the day, it may be him putting his hand on the small of my back as we are walking around a store, or by myself reaching for his arm as we are driving home, it lets us know that that attraction is still there for each other, and when you feel how attracted someone is for you by the way they touch you, or hold you, or kiss you, the sizzling starts right then and there! Nothing feels greater than knowing someones feelings for you are so strong that you are the only one for that person!

  • Play silly games like scrabble instead of watching tv.  Coming up with words and laughing together will help you bond and remind each other how smart yet silly you are.  That can lead into other silly fun :)
  • One night after dinner we were both in the mood and deicded to pull off onto a dark street.... : )  Sex in the car a few times a year is just the thing to get you out of your routine and spark the excitement.

  • My husband and i have been together for 7 years and married almost 6 months.  A few years back I recognized the need for a little spice.  I have a few outfits, toys etc, but I think the best accessory are a pair of pleather knee high boots-seems to do the trick every time.  We are a playful couple and my husband (its very obvious) is thankfully still attracted to me.  In the past when we would make an advance towards each other we would just brush it off-lately we both have been jumping on it, no pun intended and seizing the opportunity instead of waiting until its 'beditme'...we just have to remember to lock the door lol
  • We spend the day as a family. I'm a stay at home mom, and I feel like one of us is always parenting while the other is resting! We have a toddler and a baby, and although it should have the opposite effect, it works. I think that spending the day together, as a family reminds us how great we are when working as a team. Granted, we're always very glad to put them to bed!

  • We don't have a TV in the bedroom. That way at night we have no choice but to occupy one another.  I also love to surprise him when he comes home by cooking in nothing but my apron. Sexy texts and emails throughout the days also help keep us thinking about each other. We love showers together. We also made a list of things we have both always wanted to do and we go through trying to cross every one of them off.
  • I went to Victoria's Secret and got some sexy lingerie and some chocolate body butter.  We set up the video camera and made a sexy movie of us painting the chocolate butter on each other, talking dirty, then taking turns licking it off! After one thing leads to another and we're done getting dirty, we go take a shower together! Whew! I can't wait for him to get home now! LoL!! :)

  • We just bought our first house, and we made it a mission to have having sex in every room in the house.  Walk in closets count. ;)

  • We keep the bedroom ablaze by getting "down & dirty" ..... I keep the Kamastura book by the bedside at all times!  We dont always use it...but it comes in handy on those night when you just don't want the same old boring sex! Sometimes we break out the "let's get it on" music mostly when we just feel like making love instead of the freaky deeky stuff! lol - No complaints in the bedroom department here (o:

  • We don't necessarily have to have it be super sexy or outrageous. Don't get me wrong that happens too but be playful. Make it fun. Pick on eachother and play with eachother in a loving way. It's okay to laugh and half fun while having sex. It's all about showing your love for your significant other. No matter how stressed out you are always try to bring yourself back down to earth and remember who you fell in love with and show them as playfully, sexually and loving as you can.
  • When I am at work, I designate some time a few times a week to draw simple business graphs and charts, replacing data with cute and flirtatious words.  For example, I will draw a graph and on one side i will put "Thoughts about what I want to do with you when i get home" with an arrow going up and on the other side of the graph i will put "How much work i am actually getting done" with a down arrow.  I send it in a company marked ebvelope to his office, so that everyone in the office thinks it has to do with business, and they are none the smarter.  When he opens the letter, in turn, it's something that will make his heart race and nothing to do with business.  I try and come up with cute business-ish type of drawings mixed with sexy and romantic twists to them to make it fun.  Since he cant show anyone at work, and cant really call me to comment, the excitment to get home grows throughout the work day.  It's out little secret which has us excited to get home to one another even more!   
  • Cuddling WITHOUT the TV on, so we can just focus on each other always works. That or having a fun date night out like we used to do all the time when we were first dating.
  • I keep track of it like exercise in my calendar. Not always, but when I find myself troubled about something else in our relationship, I know that scheduling in a long, serious talk is not going to be fun for either of us. So then I'll focus on the sex for awhile until either the issue got resolved through casually talking or we feel closer and I know we can handle a longer debate without blowing up.
  • We have an agreement to never say no. It's so easy to say 'I'm too tired' or 'I'm in the middle of cooking dinner!' but that takes the sponteneity out of it.  If he comes up behind me and kisses my neck while I'm cooking, I just turn off the burners...dinner can wait! Likewise if he is working on the car.
  • We've been married for 24 years now, so to keep it hot in the bedroom after so many years is difficult. I started to buy different sexy costumes and surprising him with new outfits every now and then. I have a sexy police officer outfit including hand cuffs, a nurse, a french maid with a tickle duster, and a few more. We try to go get a hotel room at least a few times a year and make that time special to sex it up with hot oil massages on eachother and to try new things. My husband never knows if "Officer Amy" is going to show up or who it might be. It makes me feel sexy to keep him excited and he loves the whole role playing thing. 
  • Early in the morning while we're both in half-states of sleep I get up to pee. Upon returning to bed I slip out of my pjs. The warmth of our bodies draws us together and instantly we're off! Great way to start the day.

  • We recently decided that we missed the thrill of a new relationship, getting to know someone, all that exciting stuff that comes with it! So we decided to play a little game... we each come up with new personas. We re-create ourselves for the night, where we are from, what we do for a living, etc. Then we go on our first date! It is so much fun! Kind of allows us to be someone different for the night! Definitely gave us the spice we needed!
  • We try switching up the mood every night. One night we will be spontaneous and mess around in the new place, and the next night we will light candles and I'll wear something "romantic." It keeps the experience different evey time so that it's not routine. Routine is what kills the mood quickest.

  • My fiance is an airline pilot, so he is out of town for work frequently, which definitely limits our bedroom time.

     If he is coming home from a trip, on a Friday or Saturday night, I try and put together a very special date night at home with a theme.

    Last weekend was Italian night with homemade pasta, red wine, candlelight and some sexy red lingerie to match!  

    We love the intimate, quiet time at home he's so appreciative of my date-night efforts. Plus, the anticipation makes the time he is away pass a little more quickly.

    The best part is at the end of the dinner, we just throw the dishes in the sink and run upstairs to get started on "dessert".
