Even in the happiest of relationships, there can be a risk of taking each other for granted. We slip into a routine, go to the same restaurants or local bars for our date nights, stop feeling the need to make such an effort with our appearance. But your time together will be boosted immensely if you think about ways of spicing things up now and again. Here are eight ways of ensuring there are never any dull moments in your partnership, only sensual sparks!
Role-playing
One of the easiest methods of doing something unusual is to adopt different characters. Here the fun is letting your imagination run riot. Arrange to meet in a bar, an only act is if you’re strangers connecting for the first time. Adopt different personas as you chat each other up. Complete the illusion by booking a room at the hotel for a night of uninhibited passion.
Pampering
There’s nothing like feeling yourself becoming putty in another’s dextrous hands. Transform your living room into a spa, complete with candles and soft music. Then strip off and lie face forward while your partner massages you all over with oil. Why not share a deep foamy bath together? Searching for that elusive soap with your toes will put a smile on your other half’s face.
Your own club
Remember how you used to love going to clubs and dancing the night away? Turn the lights down and play a selection of CDs. Lubricated with cool drinks, spend a night freaking out to those banging tunes. And ensure there’s a selection of slower tracks on your playlist so you can get much closer. After all, the bedroom’s only a short stroll away rather than a long taxi ride.
Get into sexting
A terrific way to ensure the anticipation is always off-the-scale is to send regular sexy messages. These can be subtle hints about what you’d like to do to each other later or outright imagination-stirring sexts that will have your partner champing at the bit by the time they arrive at the front door. If you’re waiting in your sexiest outfit, you’ll give them a tantalizing image to cherish.
Cocktail nights
All you need to do is buy a wide range of basic ingredients, then glean some recipes from an online search. Spend an evening taking turns to make your own delicious, home-made cocktails. The only note of caution is to take it easy with the measures. These self-service drink nights have a habit of turning messy very quickly!
Romantic getaways
Plan to romantic weekend breaks every few months. The possible locations are endless but always think of somewhere different each time. How about hiring a canal boat? Watch the stars at night while drifting on the lugubrious currents, a glass of wine to hand.
Art classes
You can book art classes where you spend time sketching a life model. Unleash your inner Picasso as you capture the curves of a well-honed naked body. Why not indulge in some creative homework later, stripping off and continuing the fun? Even if your end results are unlikely to win any prizes, you can easily put the sketchpads to one side and begin exploring the nude form in other ways.
Back to the past
Go back to the exact time you first met. Was it a rendezvous in a bar or you’d hooked-up on an online dating service? Go to the same venue, wearing the same clothes and ordering the same drinks. As you watch your partner entering, relive the moment again. Except for this time you know it’s definitely going to go really well.
