Okay, so my partner and I have been together for a while, and things were getting, well, a little too routine in the bedroom. We love each other, but the spark was needing a little… something. I decided to take matters into my own hands and find some ways to spice things up.

The Planning Phase
First, I did some brainstorming. I didn’t want to go straight to anything crazy, just subtle shifts to start. I thought about what we both enjoy generally – not even just in the bedroom – and tried to find a thread.
- We both love trying new foods. Maybe a sensual food experience?
- We’re both pretty stressed with work. Perhaps something relaxing?
- We used to be more playful. Could we bring that back somehow?
The Execution – Step by Step
I decided to tackle these one at a time, starting small.
Week 1: The “Taste Test”. I picked up some exotic fruits, some fancy chocolate, and even some edible body paint (don’t judge!). I blindfolded my partner, and we just took turns feeding each other and guessing the flavors. It was silly, a little messy, and definitely got us laughing. The body paint… well, that led to other things, naturally. Key takeaway: Laughter is a great way to break the ice!
Week 2: The “Spa Night”. This one took a bit more setup. I got some massage oils, candles, and put on some relaxing music. I gave my partner a full-body massage, focusing on building the tension slowly. We took a long, hot shower together afterward. Key takeaway: Slowing things down can be just as exciting as speeding them up.
Week 3: The “Role Play” (Sort Of). This one was a little outside my comfort zone, but I decided to go for it. We didn’t go full-on costumes or anything. It was more about adopting a playful persona. I pretended to be a little more… assertive than usual, and my partner played along. Key takeaway: Don’t be afraid to be a little silly! It’s about having fun.

The Results
Honestly? It worked! Not everything was a home run, but each little experiment brought us closer and made things feel fresh again. The biggest thing I learned was that it’s not about grand gestures. It’s about making a conscious effort to connect with your partner in new ways. It’s about being willing to try new things, even if they feel a little awkward at first. And, most importantly, it’s about having fun together.
We are still using these practices in our sex life. It’s good for us!
