You can have so much fun at home!!! Here are some creative ideas to spice up your sex life.

– Costumes: think of every fantasy you have ever had. In the privacy of your own home, you can be anyone! Pick a character and play dress up! Remember, skin is sexy. It does not matter how big or small your body is. Confidence makes everything look good.

– Massage: while massage leading to a “happy ending” is of extreme pleasure, there is also massage just for the sake of giving and relaxation. Linger on your partner’s body parts without an endgame in mind and rediscover what makes them feel relaxed and good. Concentrate on their pleasure. You can each choose a day to give and receive.

– Blindfold: Mix in different textures such as cotton, feathers, silk, etc. and see how your partner reacts.

– Temperature play: ice and heat in your partner’s erogenous zones can drive them wild.

– Delayed orgasm.
