Re: Join our Sexathon! Enter to Win 4 Nights in St. Lucia
I work hard to keep hubby interested. After eight years of dating and almost three of marriage, if I do just one thing, it's going to get old fast.
We do toys, I have sexy outfits. We even tried a new position last week.
But I find the best way to keep things sexy is to remind one another of who we were when we met. Living in a small apartment - you forget that this other human is a sexual being. So sometimes I'll force him in the shower with me. Or he'll pin me on the counter, despite my yelling that the dishes need cleaning. We'll tell a story about the first time we did something dirty. There is nothing sexier than remembering that guy I first kissed eight years ago.
Keep remembering why you were first interested in them. It will help you to forget those nights when you had too much to drink and passed out in bed. ; )

I think too many people think that sex just isn't important, and it's OH so important! Sex keeps the bond between us strong, our connection tied together. Sex certainly isn't everything, but sure makes marriage more fun!
My husband and I have been married going on 5 years this August, and we (like most couples, I'm sure) go through ups and downs when it comes to sex. When I'm looking to ignite the fire, there are a few things to try. Sometimes we'll just start out cuddling while caressing each other. So relaxing, and bonding, but so easily turns into more! Massages with "happy endings" can be great! Simply flirting, or making sexual comments towards each other, or a little pat on the behind, can start up some passion. Steamy showers, and watching a sexy movie together lays the bricks for fun! One thing I like to do is wake my husband up to some sexual touching, kissing, etc. It's kind of fun to have him wake up to me seducing him! It's also nice to remember how we felt when we first started being intimate.. the passion, the drive, the newness, the "can't-keep-our-hands-off-each other" feeling. Talking about past experiences, places we've done the deed, and things we've tried can often stir up some sexual waves, too.
We don't want to make sex seem like a chore, or schedule it. I don't want it to turn into something we feel like we have to do, or something that only happens on special occasions. Sex is important and certainly a priority in our marriage, and though there's not specific number of times we get down a week, and we'll still have our ups and downs in the future, sex is fun, passionate, bond building, and stress relieving. Why would I want to stop?!
I work night shift as a nurse and my husband works days/evenings so we never EVER see each other. We text funny/sexy things to each other on the days we don't get to spend time together but we always plan one night a month when we get a dog sitter or we rent a hotel room and pretend it is our first date again or pretend we just met and he invites me back to his "room" - not that I would kiss on the first date but it makes for a very sexy night!
We change things up--different positions, rooms, etc. Use adult toys or extras...we flirt and try to be spontaneous at times. We also always have the TV off, music playing or candle light...just makes things more sexy and adventurous!

We workout together! (Even if we only have time for a 10 minute jog)
I LOVE the way he looks in his workout clothes. We get all worked up exercising, talking, and laughing together.
Exercise releases endorphins that give a feeling of pleasure!

I like to set up while he's in the other room with a sexy outfit, put on a dirty movie, and get some fun toys out and waiting. When he walks in the door, I pose on the bed with batting eyelashes, and boy do his clothes fall off fast!
Well i check the weather to create an romantic mode. For example, last week was an awesome thurder storm so i put my son to sleep before the storm began, earlier that day i made a playlist of our favorite songs and i made homemade chocolate (we like foreplay)lol, anyways i took a bath put on some victoria secret sprayed myself down with vanilla perfume and put some pj's on over it. My husband came home and i had some bath water ready for him, when he got out the shower he was wet and naked (awesome) but surprised because he walked in on me with candles lit, some of our favorite jams playing, sexy lingerie and some sexy heel with some fierce makeup laid on the bed besides me some chocolate and whipcream, and the best part was the hard rain and lightening flashing as a peep show. so I danced for him first and the rest is self explantory.
We didn't have to discuss this, it just happened over time and now we know what it means.
Our squeeze is all it takes to get things going - and its not hard to keep things hot!
first of all we dont allow tv in our bedroom b/c it just becomes a distraction.
secondly i surprise him sometimes when he comes home by cooking dinner in nothing but a lacy apron or dressed up in lingerie. sometimes he will surprise me with a bubble bath for two with candles lit around the room..
third i have an app on my phone that i track my menstrual cycle with and i also keep track of how often we have sex. life can get busy and days start to run together and if you dont keep track before you know it its been almost a week since you were together last.
going to a tasteful adult store can be fun and you each pick something out but dont show the other person until you get home to try it out.
another thing my husband enjoys is us both sleeping nude.
Taking the time to get away once in a while really mixes things up. Even if it just for one or two nights, being away in a hotel, somewhere new spices things up. Not just while on vacay but even once we get back home...
We make it a point to fall in love all over again at least once a week! The more conscience we are to make sure we show each other we?re in love with each other, the more in love we become. We treat your each other like we did at the beginning of our relationship. We?ll make a list of what things we enjoyed doing together and then we?ll add any new, fun ideas we?d like to do to the list. We?ll pick a special date night & cross something off the list!
He surprises me with a good morning
and breakfast in bed. He tells me everyday that a nice warm breakfast is the way to my heart...which it is 
My husband is a great chef and I love it!
In return I surprise him in the shower....
I like to leave notes around the house for when she comes home. The first one will say pour your self a glass of wine (or something like that), then on the bottle of wine it will say, relax and put your slippers on, on her slippers it might say look in the office for a candle, on the candle it would say.... Well you get the point, but in the end it leads to me in lingerie on the bed or elsewhere.
It is fun and definately keeps the flame burning. We try to outdo each other with the notes. It works because it is just the two of us.
