Okay so last week I was scrolling through some forums late at night, feeling kinda bored with the usual bedtime routine. Saw this idea about spicing things up and thought, hell why not? Grabbed my notebook and decided to test seven simple tricks over seven nights. Here’s exactly how it went down.
Night 1: Lights Out Experiment
Started stupid simple. Instead of glaring overhead lights, I dug out these cheap battery tea lights from last Christmas. Flicked off the main switch – boom, instant mood change. Weird how just dim lighting made silky sheets feel 10x sexier. Fumbled a bit trying to light ’em though, dropped three on the carpet.
Night 2: Touch Upgrade
Rummaged through the bathroom cabinet and found that fancy coconut massage oil my sister gave me. Slapped some on my palms first – holy crap cold! Rubbed hands together like starting a campfire. When hands finally warmed up, tried slow circles on shoulders. Partner made this noise like a deflating balloon. Pro tip: Keep towels nearby, oil stains are nasty.
Night 3: Sound Check
Hooked my phone to Bluetooth speaker but playlists sucked. Jazz felt like elevator music, rainforest sounds just made us need to pee. Finally found this “deep bass” playlist. Turned volume way down so it’s just vibrations in your chest. Partner kept giggling when subwoofer rattled the bed frame. Almost gave up till Marvin Gaye came on – that worked.
Night 4: Temperature Play
Stuck spoons in freezer like some tutorial said. Nearly dropped icy metal on bare skin – close call! Switched to dipping fingers in ice water instead. Tracing cold fingers down warm skin got way better reactions. Weirdest moment? Accidentally touched my own neck with freezing hand and yelped. Partner laughed so hard we had to restart.
Night 5: Texture Tour
Raid the bedroom for anything interesting – silk pillowcase, fuzzy blanket, even that scratchy lace thing from the back of the drawer. Blindfolded partner (used sleep mask) and swapped textures randomly. Big discovery: Feathers tickle, velvet gets “ooooh” sounds, but Terrycloth robes feel like sandpaper. Who knew?
Night 6: Slow Motion Game
Tried the “60-second kiss” challenge. Set phone timer – worst idea ever. Beeping killed the vibe. Switched to counting Mississippi-style. Made it to 28 before cracking up. Slowing everything down felt awkward at first but damn, tension builds when you’re not rushing. Like waiting for popcorn to pop.
Night 7: Mix & Match
Threw everything together – mood lights, R&B playlist, warmed coconut oil. Forgot candle was still lit and almost knocked it over reaching for oil. Nearly set curtains on fire! Salvaged it by turning bass playlist way up and using feather from decorative dreamcatcher. Final verdict? Coconut oil + bass vibrations + dim light = holy trinity.
So yeah, seven nights of clumsy experiments but learned heaps. Best part? Half this stuff costs nothing. That coconut oil’s now triple-duty: cooking, moisturizing, and well… you get it. Just watch the damn candles.
