3 Ways to Enjoy Sex Like a Stylish Lifestyle
How to incorporate sex tastefully as we enter the second wave
The best thing I bought during the pandemic is not my bike or sourdough starter, but my luxurious ergonomic vibrator. I render it’s the number essential for all single females.
As I’m forced to spend more time indoor during 2020, I pray that all have a sex toy drawer and spend some time exploring the relationship between bodily pleasure and lifestyle.
We might put a sexy painting of a naked woman on the wall, but if we don’t physically feel the happiness from sex, it doesn’t really matter how artistic your home decor is, part of you is dried up.
But you don't have to. The second wave of the pandemic is forcing upon us, and whilst we put more effort into making our home functional and stylish for the new normal of working from home, our lifestyle must also reflect the quality of our intimate life. Here are my three tips to enjoy sex as part of our lifestyle.
1. The juxtaposition of sex
One of the dumbest assumptions anyone could have is how if you are in a relationship, you don’t need a vibrator (or a dildo). You must understand, just because you’re in a relationship, or fucking someone else, that doesn’t mean you can, or should, put your toys away.
In fact, you should enjoy some solo time for your variety’s sake. The absurdity of having only one or the other is silly. Imagine you’ve found your favourite dish, such as a good-old spag bol (that’s spaghetti bolognese in British English), and decide to eat the same dish all the time for the rest of your life.
No, don’t do that! The reason why a spag bol is so yummy is that every now and again you get to enjoy it, and each time it’s special. Other times, you eat other dishes. The other dishes reflect how spectacular your spag bol is, it’s called juxtaposition.
Sex is the same. Just because you find your spag bol in bed (i.e. your partner), doesn’t mean you can only have orgasms with them. It’s essential to engage your hands, fingers, toys, to keep your libido satisfied in a diverse kind of way. I have excluded other people in this instance, but if that’s your lifestyle then sure, why not.
2. Sexual hygge
The Danish word hygge became an iconic lifestyle globally in recent years. People look for ways to create an environment at home that’s cosy and relaxing. To create a hygge aesthetic, it often involves candles, blankets, warm tea, slowly cooked meals, board games and books.
Sadly, none of the books I read includes sex as a hygge activity. I’m honestly confused. What’s more relaxing than the satisfying and calming feeling after reaching orgasm? What’s a better non-verbal communication than to make love with someone? What’s better to do in terms of self-love than stimulating yourself, the way you like it?
I propose that Hygge must also include sexual activities. Relax in your warm and comfortable bed with candles and a hot drink on the side, enjoy slow intercourse where fingers lock and eyes meet with tenderness and affection. Cuddle after orgasm and whisper mindless jokes in each others’ ears. Hygge sex — the best kind of sex.
If you’re on your own, light up some candles and masturbate. If there’s no one at home, the ultimate hygge is to moan in tune with your sexual pleasure without embarrassment or fear. Sexual moans are like operas, the beauty of the melody is only for the trained ear. It sings the truth of liberation. Isn’t that what being at home is about? A free and safe space with no pretence?
3. Bubble Fuck
A friend with a high-paying, demanding job can’t understand why I spend at least an hour a week in the bathtub. Her precise comment is that “what can you do when you’re in the tepid water?”
I feel so sorry for her. Bubblebath is the best thing with mental and physical benefits. As we enter into the second lockdown, we should be grateful that electricity, wifi and water are at our convenient disposal in the first world.
I don’t always pleasure myself when I’m in a bathtub, and I’ve written about why bathing with someone is tricky. You can, of course, masturbate when you are in the tub, but more importantly, is to feel the therapeutic sensation the aromatic hot water brings you.
Hearing the music of running water hitting the ceramic tub, watching the smoke dancing in the air, observing the bath bomb exploding into rainbow colours, lighting a scented candle. These are essentially foreplay to your five senses.
Then you let the bathrobe slip down your beautiful body, and your raise your foot to test the temperature of the water. your toe is sensitive, and as you put your feet, leg and the whole body in the water, you moan as the hot water cradle you intensely. I massage my shoulders and neck as I run my fingers along my body up to my scalp.
Even as I am writing, I feel the orgasmic hotness of the bathtub water.
If you decide to give your private parts a treatment in the tub, don’t forget to observe your feet. As you’re climbing the mountain to climax, your calves tense up and the picture of it flexing and creating ripples in the water is simply magnificent.
The quality of living is so important during this testing time. I’m actually grateful that my life has slowed down a bit. When we are busy rushing around, we forget the simple things that make us happy.
Not only is sexual pleasure free and organic, but it’s also artistically and musically inspiring. Experiment with your body freely and safely in the comforts of your home. Face it as a natural part of our life and fit it as part of our lifestyles.
