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

  • We are a very busy couple who often don't have a lot of time for each other.  However we know how important it is for us as a couple to set time aside for each other.  We have date night at least once a month and we put everything else in our lives aside and spend that time with just each other.  By having that special time, we find that our intimacy is better than ever.  You have to make time for what's important and to us, being intimate is very important in a relationship.  Make time for it and do it!!!
  • Every few weeks we have a special "date night" where we actually LEAVE the house and go out to have drinks and dinner. When we come home we make an effort to set the mood with nice candles, sometimes a bubble bath, and occasionally giving each other massages. 

     During the week, we try to keep things spicy by sending a sexy text on the way home from work to build up the excitement for later, and to make sure we make time for sex and fulfilling each other's needs. Even if one partner isn't really in the mood, we try to not put sex off and just live in the moment and enjoy each other because otherwise we could end up putting sex off for weeks before we find a time where our libidos are totally in sync.

     We make sure to plan time for just the two of us - and just taking the time makes a world of difference!

  • After a busy week, if we have a free day or even just a few hours to kill, we stay in bed for as long as we can, and do it as many times as we can :)  That's usually a great way to remind ourselves how compatible we are in the bedroom, and it usually results in more than a few follow-up romps that week!
  • We change things up with atmosphere. Sometimes we'll do something romantic with candles, bubble bath and a sexy dessert or we'll just do something spontaneous and more dirty. It varies. I'm not one for the same old boring thing either so I like to come up with different ideas. I think having a healthy sex life is just as important as having a healthy life. They go hand in hand. :o)
  • The hubby works long, grueling hours.  A lot of times we are both too tired to do anything.  When we want to rekindle things, I will leave the baby with my mom for an afternoon/evening.  I will spend the time before hubby gets home showering and dolling myself up so that I feel sexy, and then we'll either go out for dinner or flirt over cooking together at home.  Finding a way to relax sets the tone for later.
  • #1 - we don't have a TV in our room!

    While renovating our house is completely consuming our energy and finances, we have home-dates. our most recent - wine & fresh fruits and cheeses shared in our jetted tub.

  • We tend to take our daily life frustrations out by playing silly little games like who can stick a finger in each other's nose first -- don't ask how it got started, it just did and it's absolutely hilarious. So, while we are wrestling and swatting each other's arms away and laughing our butts off it usually leads to more steamier moments, if you know what I mean Angel
  • The best way to keep sex at the top of your priority list? Stop waiting for your sexual timing to be in sync! Sometimes one person will want it and the other not so much. I've interrupted my husband's online playstation sessions for sex (trust me ladies, your husband won't complain lol) and he's given me a few unplanned, but very welcome, study breaks! There will always be distractions around you (the kids, the pets, the TV, etc) but nurturing our physical connection is crucial to having a high level of intimacy and romance. Plus, who doesn't want to release some endorphins! Remember - - just because someone's engine isn't currently revved up doesn't mean that the car won't start. Initiate sex when you want it.
  • We try to keep our lovemaking spontaneous-- living room, bathroom, we found that it does make a difference if you are in the same environment every time, it makes it BLAH!  We also have code words to each other that lets the other know if we're thinking about them, so exciting to use sometimes :) That's what is keeping our love life alive, even if it is just 2 times a week...I always feel very close and intimate with my wonderful hubby!!!

  • We keep things sizzling in the bedroom by slowing it down from time to time. It's way too easy to get into a rut where things will be routine. About once a month we'll slow it down by only allowing kissing and touching for the first half an hour. By leading with this makeout session by the time the main event rolls around we are both raring hot and the subsequent sex is even hotter.
  • Sex is so much more than doing it...

    + Get mentally prepared! Think about your wedding, what it ment, how you felt, your love for him

    +Pray for your intimacy as a couple

    + Let him RELAX when he gets home and treat him with the respect he needs

    +Put a good meal on the table and enjoy it

    +Welcome him to a sexy, candlelit bedroom, and look your best

    +Be present, clear your mind, and enjoy

  • If we're super-in-need of a night together, I'll bust out the lingerie when he's least expecting it.  That's an instant mood creator.

  • We have little ways of showing each other when we are in the mood.  We also celebrate out wedding anniversary every month even if it is just dinner or a small little something.
  • We plan what we do to spend time together if we had a long vacation coming up....and then just do that at home :)
  • We take turns and role play on every room in the house...if we are in the kitchen who ever's turn it is we dress up Ex: Kitchen either chef (him) or sexy cook (me), garage will be in a body shop uniform (wears a white jumpsuits), guest room would be as a business tourist ( in suits) living room (french maid for me, waiter for him) of course sexyin them up and get it on...seeing ourselves in sexy outfits gets us in the mood
  • We love play board games and card games. We will play them a couple nights a week. Some nights we bet on clothing items. Lets just say I win a lot and so does he;-)
  • My husband and I went through a very difficult labor with our daughter.  Fortunately, our little angel survived and went on to live a healthy life.  However, I can not say the same about our intimacy level.  Over the next year my husband and I barely touched each other.  We were still madly in love but all of our energy and time went towards work and the kids.  Finally, we realized that the lack of emotional bonding was not helping our marriage.  At that point, we discussed many options of how we would turn things around. 

    My husband and I now enjoy our own "story time" after the kids are in bed.  I will call my husband at work and read him a chapter out of a sexy novel or send him parts of a story in an email.  Sometimes we will sit down after the house is quiet and read something sultry to each other or even make up our own intimate stories.  Not only has story time allowed us to experiment with different fantasies, but it has also brought back the laughter and lust that was hiding for so many months.  Our motto... It's always healthy to sit down with a good book!

  • I like to wake my man up in the morning ready to go!  It'll be a complete surprise if he's fast asleep, but it always seems very welcomed and a great way to start the day.

    I also try to occasionally initiate sex at a less obvious time and location.  Like the other night when we were doing taxes in the office.  Who knew taxes could be sexy? Wink It keeps him on his toes and keeps things spicy.

  • For starters, we have no tv in the bedroom. We do schedule date nights where we cook a nice meal and end with a steamy night in the bedroom. My ideal night is one where the sex isn't planned. I love the element of surprise when one of us is in the mood and has to show it to the other.

    For starters, to keep our sex lives steamy and hot, we have a no TV or pets in the bedroom policy; it allows us one space in the house that we can completely be alone. We also send each other emails, texts, and, yes, sometimes images, throughout the day explicitly indicating what we want to do to each other when we get home. That way, by the time we get home we can?t wait to rip the clothes off of each other. We also like to try new positions, toys, etc. It?s important to keep things fresh. Finally, I like to surprise him by either being in lingerie and heels when he gets home or by sneaking upstairs and then calling him up to come help me with something. The smile on his face is always priceless and the surprise never fails to get us in the mood.
  • Kiss, flirt, or take a bath/shower together ;) We also like to surprise each other!
  • My husband and I have mentally and sometimes physically demanding jobs.  Unwinding is not an easy task.  What we have found over the years that works best for us is bringing levity into our home life.  We are very serious in our professional lives but very silly in our personal lives, which helps us detach.  Sex should be fun.
  • Every time its different...always starts with good food, a glass of port and some chocolate, sometimes a movie and the "intent" on focusing on each other and having a good time--and what I love about us is that we have fun remembering our first date and how much we have gone through and changed from that time to now.  We are truly in love and have NO TIME ALONE!  But we manage. :-)
  • I like to send him cute sexy text messages through out our days building up till that evening. As well someone at our church encouraged us to have our very own restraunt we go to. So where we live we have one place that is special to us. We do not take friends or family there, but it is our very intimate restraunt that sets the mood for the rest of our evening together, every time.

  • We put a premium on relaxation, especially on weekends. If we're not relaxed, we can't be romantic.
