Date Nights That Heat Things Up

I recently read an article online that was discussing different ways that sexual intercourse benefits relationships. One thing I found particularly interesting was when the focus was turned to a decreased libido, something so many couples (both married and not) face. It stated the following:

“When couples aren’t intimate, over time, both partners actually experience a decreased interest in doing the horizontal hustle. Not having sex can cause irritability, lower self-confidence and a greater distance between you and your partner. It may seem counterproductive, but not having sex actually slows the production of hormones and chemicals that give us our drive to have sex. So as strange as it sounds, the best remedy for a depleted libido is… to have more sex!”

After reading the statement above, I was inspired to do the Sultry Saturday Date Night Ideas this month. Only a fraction of the ideas that were submitted and thought up by yours truly got posted. Below are some ideas to heat things up. Try at your own risk of delight.

• Body painting using each other as a canvas – Edible body paint is a choice that is available.
• Get a large piece of construction paper (at least the size of a throw blanket) and lay it out to be painted. You will be using your bodies as the painting tools so you will have to paint one another or yourselves before you can begin. You can do this with undergarments or less if you choose. After you are smothered in paint you can begin rolling your paint covered bodies on the paper and each other than see the art your bodies produce.
• Cook naked and make yourself into a dessert for the other person. You can do this a variety of ways. A common favorite seems to be making yourself into a Sunday using hot fudge and a cherry.  Be creative.
• Play twister naked or in your undergarments.
• Who says forts are just for kids? Create an adult fort. Cover the floors with pillows and blankets transforming into a bed essentially. Then relax with a sexy flick.
• Test aphrodisiacs with each other.  A few aphrodisiacs are asparagus, almonds, avocado, bananas, basil, chocolate, figs, and garlic. There are many more you can find out about online too if those don’t sound appetizing.
• Do a strip dance for your loved one.
• Exchange massages with one another. You can set the mood with candles. You could also use heating massage oils to literally heat things up.
• Sometimes it is more about the mood and setting than the date itself. Candles, rose petals, and music can make just about anywhere seem more romantic. 
  It seems cliché, but it works.
• Go skinny dipping with each other. It can be exciting and fun. Warming each other up afterwards can be just as fun and as exciting too.
• Rent a hotel for a night. It doesn’t matter if it is in the same town. It can be nice and romantic just to get away. The atmosphere is different and it can be a lot of fun.  If room service is available you can pamper yourselves as well with dinner, or maybe just a can of whipped cream and a bottle of champagne?
• Take a bath together. This only works if you have a good size bath. It can be very romantic though. Wash each other sensually, kiss each other softly, and after your clean maybe get dirty all over again.
