Valentine's Day Duos: For Partners & Pals
For You & Your Partner: Transform your living space into a tranquil spa retreat for the night. Set the ambiance with dimmed lights, soft music, and perhaps a few scented candles. Select fragrant oils that evoke relaxation or romance – think lavender for calming, or ylang-ylang for a more sensual note.
Begin by taking turns giving each other a massage. Focus not just on the technique, but on the experience of connecting with each other, both physically and emotionally. Allow this to be a journey of discovery, understanding each other's touch and comfort. It's not just about relieving tension; it's about nurturing intimacy and closeness.
Need some help with upping your foreplay game? Check out our Healthy Foreplay Tips:
Keep all food items above the waste.
Turn up the heat with strawberries, chocolate syrup, etc. Try using food items in other sensitive areas: nipples, lips, neck earlobe, small of back, butt cheeks etc.
Barrier options include things like external condoms, internal condoms and dental dams (for oral sex).
Wash hand thoroughly before vulva or vaginal touch
If planning to engage in oral sex without a barrier... brush and rinse before oral sex.
Make it fun, soft talk and playing could make the mood more relaxed.
Be sure to shower right after intimacy to promote healthy vulva and vaginal care/health.
