My husband and I really enjoy the holidays but every year our love life goes out the window. With all the extra goings-on, what can we do to enjoy some sex and romance during this hectic season?
By Leslie Meeker – While there is much merriment to be had during the holiday season, there is much stress as well. More stress equals less sex.
Just as you’re enjoying accolades for being the holiday hostest-with-the-mostest, your holiday vixen’s left withering in the kitchen. The Elf on the Shelf and his judgment aside, when it comes to romance even Santa knows that extra naughty is extra nice.
With a little planning summoning up some extra seasonal sizzle is simple:
Decrease overall holiday stress by managing your finances during this season of over indulgence. Plan ahead. Schedule and maintain boundaries. Learn to say No. You cannot possibly contribute to all community giving events, nor can you accept all invitations to every social festivity.
Create a holiday mantra that will both calm you and refocus you romantically. “I hold the peace of the season in my heart and much gratitude for my partner and the passion we share.” Repeat. Breathe. Repeat.
If your mantra fails, go blow off some steam, preferably physically. Monster mode at the gym or Manage-a-Moi mode at home. Either way you’ll benefit from the release of mood enhancing endorphins.
Have fun. Hang mistletoe… everywhere! It’s a simple reminder to connect, whether it be in the kitchen, laundry room, den or otherwise.
Don’t limit holiday décor to hearth and shared spaces in your home. Take it to the bedroom. String Christmas lights from bed post to post. Sexy Santa lingerie is certain to inspire desire, perhaps a celebratory quickie before the office Christmas party.
Games are not just for reindeer and toys aren’t just for kids. Take a favored holiday theme and turn it into your own erotic game. Following are just a few ideas inspired by the “The Twelve Days of Christmas” theme – Drummers drumming: Feather duster or paddle drum that bum. Pipers piping: Explanation unnecessary. Maids a milking: Costumed role play all the way. Golden rings: Visit your nearest pleasure product professional for details.
But what about the kids? LOCK THE DOOR! You’re “wrapping presents” after all.
Celebrate your relationship this season and have a very Merry XXX-mas!
