Setting a romantic, relaxing, or playful mood before sex can bring a whole different dimension to your
sex life. Candles and scented oils can play a role, but here are some more ideas:
Adult Games
Shake up your routine by playing an adult game. Before you commence, make sure the kids are in bed,
the washing up is done and other possible distractions are taken care of. Grab a bottle of wine and
some decadent edibles and set up the game your bedroom or somewhere you’re unlikely to be disturbed.
Get into the spirit of the game and dare to try any new activities it might suggest – you might just
learn a naughty trick or two!
Massage
Why not try dimming the lights and giving your partner a relaxing massage? Soothe away the day’s
troubles by gently massaging your partner’s temples and scalp; then use pleasant smelling oil and
massage their neck and shoulders, increasing intensity according to their comfort. Remember this
is a pre-sex activity, so shift your attention away from the obvious erogenous zones and focus on
relaxing the whole body.
