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

  • Keeping things sizzling in the bedroom hasn't always been easy. After three years of struggling with infertility and the emotional and physical toll of it, we needed something to bring back the spice and hope we had when we were first married. Traveling was something we used to enjoy before IF treatments drained our savings.

    In an attempt to combine these two things, once a month we will have an ethnic night. If I can come up with a costume to match, I wear it and serve up with an ethnic dinner. MH never knows which night this will fall on, but he is always happy to come home from work to find a new dish and a playful atmosphere.

  • We take a special vacation last year--no laptops, no tv, no cell phone. A week of just us and no electronics to re connect.

  • We keep it spontaneous!  We don't plan certain days for sex, we just make time for it when the urge arises.  Big Smile
  • Setting a romantic mood, candles, wine, and lingerie.
  • Our schedule gets so busy that you'd think to have more sex we would need to plan time together - surprisingly, that's not the case.  We spend every evening after work in the same routine, sitting in the room together physically but not mentally.  When we make time for our own interests and hobbies to break up that routine, we can fully engage in time spent together...meaning much more frequent, much hotter sex!

  • We love to play games... literally.  So we'll take a board game or card game and make it risque!  We make up our own rules and basically it turns into Strip "whatever game we're playing".  It always makes board games WAY more fun & interesting!
  • My husband and I have jobs that can be stressful at times, so for us the biggest challenge is feeling up to sex by the time we get home at the end of the day. One way we remedy this is by relaxing when we first get home - talking to each other about our days (venting if necessary Smile), cuddling on the couch, and fixing dinner together. After we have had that time to unwind and reconnect with each other we are usually ready to go! We also love having sex first thing on weekend mornings; it is a great way to start the day, and we both feel rejuvenated after a night of good sleep!
  • Honesty, as always, is the best policy!

    We talk openly about everything between the sheets and let each other know what we would like to try, buy, when, where, how, whatever and where ever our imaginations take us!! There are so many new and exciting things we come up with because we aren't afraid of judgment or embarrassment, we love each other, respect each other and it makes for a wonderful marriage, and a wonderful sex life too! 

  • We don't see sex as something we HAVE to do, we see it as something we LOVE to do. Some people do scrapbooking, others garden, we do the nasty-- anytime we can. Morning, noon, or night. ;-)

     We are always trying new things, positions, locations, etc.  New ideas and spontaneity really spice things up!

  • We do staycations.  They are much cheaper than a real vacation, and you don't have to take off from work.  We just book a night or two at a posh hotel and pretend we are on vacation.  These really put us in the mood.  You don't have to stare at the dirty apartment, worry about the dog, bills, etc.
  • We do a little flirting and touching and clothes are off in no time!

    I have so much lingerie & cute aprons from bachelorette party gifts, so I like to excuse myself to go change for bed & then come back wearing some lingerie instead of my jammy pants & tank top! For a special treat I also sometimes put on my apron without anything underneath to cook dinner!

  • My husband and I are very busy with our careers right now and the honeymoon phase has definitely subsided. It's difficult to spend time with each other, especially when we don't "have" to due to not having any children yet. In order to keep our focus on our marriage, we commit to Date Night once a week-- no phones, no work, no puppies, no TV, just us. Throughout the week, leading up to Date Night, we leave sexy/flirty little notes for one another. Sometimes Date NIght is just dinner and a movie or coffee. Either way, we keep that connection and flirt as if it's our first date all over again. You wouldn't believe how much re-connecting once a week helps remind you how desirable your husband is... especially when you shut the rest of the world out! 
  • We make time for each other.
  • We always make time for us. We set dates and our parents take our son for the night. We leave each other little messages all the time. Keeps it fun and interesting!
  • Sexy lingere and shoes for me can always get my husband going and atmosphere (Setting a romantic mood with candles, flowers, etc.) does a lot for me.

  • best way to keep it hot, is to keep doing it :)

  • Flirting, morning snuggles, Jenna Jamison.
  • with a baby on the way (less than two months) and managing our own companies (we both work from home), we have to find time for pleasure and not just madness. so, i spoil him in the morning (a BJ is a quick way to get a little intimacy and a fabulous way to start the day!) and during the day he surprises me by sending me a meeting request to meet him in his office for a quick "appointment." working from home isn't ALL work! :)
  • We send each other wild text messages throughout the day.

    When we are home we will randomly touch each other in "certain" places as we pass each other

  • We take the time to kiss.  Really kiss, not just a tap, that always puts us in the mood.
  • My husband and I keep our relationship in tact - dealing with problems quickly, open and honestly. When your relationship is going well, I believe a good sex life naturally flows from that. Plus, we take care of ourselves so that we are still very much attracted to one another.
  • I got pregnant on our honeymoon!  So, we really have to make sure we devote time to one another sexually and keep those fires burning!  WE have a weekly bubble bath together on Sundays - complete with candles burning, soft music playing, and washing one another's backs and feet.  We let everything go while we're in the tub - whatever stress or worries we've had throughout the week.  By the time we get out of the tub, our bodies are warm and naked.  It definitely inspires the lovemaking!  We also try to be spontaneous.  It's more difficult now that I am 7 months pregnant, but it is so important.  We flirt and "make out".  Sometimes, when he gives me a peck kiss on the lips, I will turn it into a full blown make out session.  One thing leads to another!
  • After being together for 5+ years, I noticed we were starting to get bored in the sex department. So, I became a Goddess with Athena's Home Novelties and our sex lives really came back to life! Working with sex toys and talking about sex at my "job" makes me very eager to get home to hubby :)

    Of course we are still always very busy though.. So this trip would really be a Goddess send <3 lol..

     Cheers for GREAT SEX! <3

  • I love cooking dinner for my husband so that's what I'm usually doing when he comes home. On the nights that I'm feeling frisky though, I'll cook in an apron with only my birthday suit and stilettos.
  • The nights that I'm feeling frisky I will make sure that I'm in the process of cooking dinner for my husband when he walks through the door. However, I'll be in my apron, birthday suit and stilettos.

  • Keeping sex a priority is hard with busy lives, but important. There are three tips we came up with that we have found useful. We send each other sexy text messages during the day. Then by the end of the day we cannot wait to get home to each other! We also like to have "naked" time whether it is cuddling, showering, or taking a relaxing bath. It always gets us in the mood. Lastly I like to sometimes surprise him with some lingerie when he comes come from a long day of work.

  • 1. Lesleykimball 2. My husband and I put the baby down for bed then it is wine, shower, candles, incense and a massage.
  • Definitely a date night.  Getting away from the kids and not talking about them at all. I think every couple needs that time to reconnect and remember why they fell in love in the first place.
