Nothing can get you in the mood for a little love more then reading about it. Pick up a sexy tale about people in love and read it to each other in bed. Take turns and pass the book back and forth reading a page each. If one or both of you are uncomfortable reading erotica out loud then you can get the same book and read it to yourself as your partner does the same. You could also pick up an audio version of an erotica book and listen to it together. Erotica is a kick starter for you libido. I have found some pretty out their erotica that deals with fetishes and swinging but I personally enjoy couples erotic. Couples erotica is hot and steamy sex that stays within their relationship. No outside forces, threesomes or orgies are within the pages of couples erotica. You can check out some of the erotica I have written by going to my website at the bottom of this post. I enjoy writing about the passion between two people and happen endings in more ways then one. Pick up a good read tonight and find out how much it ads to you love life.

How often do the two of you just go out for a walk to talk. Getting out of your normal setting and speaking to each other as you stroll along is a great way to stay connected. Find a not so crowded place to walk in your neighborhood and get some exercise while you converse with the person you love. It seems a little easier to converse when you are out in the open as you are not facing each other and you already have your blood pumping from the exercise. Here is a great way to strike up a conversation if you don't have anything to speak about during the walk. Pick something out of the newspaper or find a article in a magazine and then discuss it during your walk. Think up ideas about the subject they can be serious or silly as long as they get the two of you thinking and/or laughing. Stimulating your minds is a great activity to do together now you are adding exercise into the mix so you can't go wrong. Think about it spending time with the person you love, exercising and diving deep into thought what else do you need?
For those of you that love to send flowers, women applaud you. However their biggest gripe about this is that flowers don't last and they are not like memories, you don't think about them later on in life. A good alternative is the new fruit bouquet that incorporates tasty fruit into flower shapes. Then they are put on sticks so they can be arranged like your everyday flower arrangement. This is a great idea if you are sending the item to your partner at work or a party that way all the items will not go to waste. Everyone will also know where the person got such a tasty treat giving you even more brownie points.

Want a great way to show your partner how much you care about them. Get them a good book. Pick one from their favorite author, or a subject that they have interest and pick up a copy to give them. You don't have to have a reason for this gift, just spring it on them because it is a great day. Pick a book that might help your relationship, or something you can do together and use it as a relationship building tool for the two of you. You can even pick a book that the both of you can read together. Use books to your advantage and in the best way but it never a bad idea to give the gift of literature or instruction.
Today we are going to start giving you ideas on things you can get your partner for Valentine's Day. A sexy robe and slippers can be a great idea for either male or a female partner. It tells the person that you are giving it to that you want to be more intimate with them. and if you are not currently living together it conveys the message that you would like to spend the night with them. Depending on the climate you live in, the robe you pick out should suit that climate. Colder climates might call for a warmer robe, like a big thick terry cloth one, or if your climate is warmer then a silk robe might be the way to go. If you want to add a little spice to the gift then pick out some silk boxers or a sexy bra and panty set to slip inside the robe. When they pull the robe out of the box then the other items fall onto the floor. No matter which type of robe you pick it will surely be a big hit.
Does you partner have a gift that they want more than anything this Christmas? Do they have something that you can't pick out for them or they need to try on before you purchase it for them? That is okay you can do this for them and still make it a surprise. Once you have the item you need to think of an interesting way to wrap it, be it in a huge box or in a odd shaped package. Once you have it wrapped make a game of it with your partner and see how many presents they have to unwrap before they find it. You could even wrap up some dummy presents as I call them, thing like clothes that are theirs or something so silly no one would possibly want it like some giant sunglasses or an alarm clock that squirts water. If you partner has an idea of what they are getting from you for Christmas then it is your job to still make the unwrapping of presents fun and exciting. With that in mind you can start making your strategy on how you are going to fool your partner with your wrap job now.
One of the nicest things you can give your lover each year is a wonderful ornament that means something. You can select a specific thing like snowmen or angels and every year make this the first present you give them each year. Picture ornaments are a great ideas if you have children then way you can see how much they have grown each year. Another great idea is to find ornaments that are attached to a memory. Say for instance this summer you took a wonderful trip to Hawaii then a palm tree ornament might make a lasting memento of your trip. Another great thing to celebrate is having a baby, so mom or dad to be ornaments will always remind you of the year of pregnancy. No matte what type of ornament you are looking for today with the internet you are bound to find what you are looking for. You could even pick up a little ornament that would hold another little gift like an engagement ring or tickets to a romantic destination. You can be creative as you wish with this and no matter how you go about it your partner will know how much you love them, and each year you get to relive this gifts as you pull them out for another Christmas season.
Currently I am working on a book that covers the ins and outs of dating. I would love to hear from my viewers as to what things or places would be great ideas to do on a first date. I am anxious to hear about all your ideas as you feed my interests. I can think of all the things I feel are great ideas but I want to branch out and make sure I hit all areas of the spectrum. On the other hand I would love to hear places that you think would be the worst places for a date. Tell me the most idiotic places that a date has taken you to or the worst restaurants. I will be listening carefully for your replies.
Do you sit around and have great romantic ideas pop into your head, only to talk yourself out of doing them. Thinking your partner might think they are silly or think you are nuts. Well stop right now many a great romantic ideas are never put into place because of this type of thinking. I am here to tell you that if a idea pops into your head then act on it. No big deal if it doesn't go over as well as you planned, but what if it goes over even better then you planned. Use the slogan from Nike and "Just do it" I can't even imagine how many ideas didn't happen because of people wondering how they would be perceived. Remember, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Now get out their and show your partner how romantic you are.
We are so focused on the outcome of our dates and time together that we very seldom try to enhance our evenings. We rush around so much that we forget the maybe a little more time setting a mood might help in our romantic life. I am sure everyone is thinking right now about putting some candles in the bedroom or lighting a fire in the fireplace. Those are great mood setters but they are the common ones. I am going to challenge you, as I so often do, to create some non-traditional moods. Don't sweat it, I am going to give you some examples for you to feed off of.
Intimacy is a great place to set a mood. I want you to start way earlier though, in your date or evening together. The example I am going to use is to set a Mexican mood. Start out by cooking or going to a place that serves Mexican food. At home get some salsa and chips and whip up a Mexican feast. You can find all kinds of Mexican dishes on any recipe web page. If you go out make sure it isn't Taco Bell, go to a nice Mexican restaurant where they play music and have the place decorated just right. Now once you get home you can continue the mood by getting Mexican oriented movies, some that pop into my mind are Funny Cheech and Chong movies, or the Brad Pitt move The Mexican. Now for the fun part make sure to find some sombreros and Mexican blankets to spread out in your bedroom. Completing the night of Mexican mood. Also you can find some traditional Mexican music to play while you get intimate. You might get bonus point if you can speak Spanish. Imagine yourself make love while wearing a sombrero and shouting things out in Spanish.
Here is a second option. If you partner is into science fiction movies. You could rent a full night of the Star Wars Saga or which ever movie he or she is into. Then when it came time for the intimacy you could dress as a character form the movie. I know lots of men that have the princess lea fantasy. Personalize it to your partners favorite character. You could even get the Star Wars theme song to play in the back ground for the main event. Imagine....
Do you have events that just drive you mad. Maybe a family reunion, or a fundraiser that just seem to be so tense. Well if you find yourself at one of these type of events I have a suggestion to ease the tension a little. Give your stressed out partner a little playfulness. You might be shrugging your shoulders at this moment. Now let me explain. Nothing relaxes the mood of a situation as something your partner is not suspecting. Now you have to be very tactful about this, find a quite place, and don't do this out where anyone else can see. Women as you walk by your partner grab his penis or ass, don't say a word and just keep moving past. Men the same for you grab her ass or swipe her breast, no words just the action. Then act like nothing happened. Reject any advances they might make with one word, Later.
Now what have you done? Well you have taken their mind off the stressful situation and made them think about what you have in mind later. Plus they know that you understand their frustrations and are turned on by their attempts of making the event great. Now when you get them home you have to follow through on your earlier dealings. Don't even let them say anything about it before you act. Tell them how sexy they looked during the event and how turned on you were by them in that situation. After you show your appreciation suggest some of your favorite charities or events they might want to get involved in. You just might have found someone to volunteer based on your playfulness.
You know you are enjoying yourself when you are doing something and you don't realize how long you have been doing it. Our last post was our 60th I am very proud of what we are doing here. We are hopefully helping couples learn and understand each other better. I try to reach a broad area of topics from dating to sex, household chores to nights on the town. I do this because they all make up a great relationship. You can't just have sex all the time and have a great relationship, however in my opinion you can't have a great relationship with it either. My take on relationships is they must have a balance, you need everything to make it complete. If there are any parts missing that is where you get into trouble.
I would like to suggest a book for everyone to ready called "The Mindful Couple" by Robyn D. Walsher, PHD and Darrah Westrup, PHD. This books is one of the best ones I have read on relationships. It doesn't give you step by step instructions it gives you insight into the workings of relationships. I must say I have looked at things a little differently since reading it. You can go to the publishers web site by clicking the title of this post and I will put it in the amazon bar on the side. So if you go and buy this book not only will you help out your relationship you will also be helping out Romantic Antics for Men (and Women, too)
