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.
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.
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.
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 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 learned at Pre-Marital Class when things are going Good Outside the Bedroom they go Good In the Bedroom--Deeper Bond Filled with Unconditional Love!
Open, Honest, Loving Communication in all parts of our Lives--including what feels Best and How In the Bedroom!!!
Read "Getting Your Sex Life Off to a Great Start -A guide for Engaged and Newlywed Couples" By Clifford and Joyce Penner.
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".
