Valentines day in Japan

The Valentine’s Day in Japan is huge. And it’s nothing like what we are used to on the 14th of February, when men give presents like chocolate and roses, confessing or reaffirming their love to women.

In Japan, it’s exactly the opposite. In a country where women traditionally expect men to express romantic interests, the Valentine’s Day is kind of the day women could take initiative and declare their romantic feelings. Sounds good if you are a man, but Japanese Valentine’s Day is more complex than ‘women give gifts to men’.

A surprise in their Shoe?

What is the last thing anyone puts on before going out for the day? Your shoes of coarse. So today's romantic tip is to slip a little excitement into your sweeties shoe. It doesn't have to be something expensive, I am sure jewelry would be appreciated. Things like their favorite candy bar, or tickets to a show later that evening would be nice. Think of things that would fit into their shoes without being able to see them. Imagine their face with they find something in their shoe when they try to slip it on. An old picture of the two of you could be a nice touch, an invitation to dinner or even a brand new pair of sexy panties might set their heart beating faster.

The important thing is to let them know you are thinking about them. The will understand that some planning had to go into this venture and will be delighted you put the extra effort into it. If their shoes are in bad shape maybe a gift card for some new ones. The ideas are as open as you are. So start thinking now of something foot sized that would make your partner feel special. Now go get it and slip it into their shoe. Just make sure it's not something that they can smash with their feet, no grapes please. Wine is better from the bottle.

Kiss outside your home!

Something that gets lost in the middle or relationships is the good night kiss. When you move in together or spend a lot of time at each others house, we all seem to move our kisses inside the house. My suggestion is the next time you have an enjoyable evening out you should kiss at the door as kind of an end to a great evening. Even if your are going to have more fun when you get inside, it is a nice statement and an innocent act that makes you think back to the first few times you were together. Think about how romantic it is to kiss under the stars on a warm summer evening, and I think you will definitely feel great about doing it.

Power Up Your Sex -- Sexy Challenges

Pick up a magazine for the opposite sex.

Want to do something that will gain you some insight into your partner? Pick up a magazine about the opposite sex or borrow one of your partners. Read all the articles with an open mind and see how the opposite sex ticks. Make sure it is one that caters to the opposite sex. Readers Digest is bisexual in my opinion but Cosmo or Men's Fitness are definitely geared towards a specific sex. See how the articles fit with the way you feel and try to look at it from the opposite sexes point of view. Maybe then you might start to understand why your woman needs a little more cuddle time or why you man wants to see you in something sexy. I wish there were more magazines for couples that addressed issue from a couples point of view. I know of one but you cannot get a subcription the last time I checked in the United States, the magazine is based out of Canada. You can check out the magazine online it is called 2 For Couples, so if anyone wants to smuggle me a copy across the border let me know.

Ladies take the pants off.

Ladies this post if directed towards you. There is one bed time look that drives us guys crazy and is comfortable as hell for you. No it is not being naked. It is when you wear a normal sized t-shirt and just your panties. That look is so sexy yet it is the most basic thing you can wear. We love to get that little glimpse of how sexy you are without seeing to much. When you bend over and we see a little bit of your buttocks. We have to bite out lip to keep us from just taking you right then and there. You can perfect this look a little more by using panties that creep up a little to expose more of your bottom. Ladies this is the way you can drive us wild without having to wear something that is a little uncomfortable to you. Thing about this next time you guy wants to spend hours in front of the television. A little comfy look might just have his eyes wondering towards you!!!

Shaving, yes it is important to romance.

Shaving or the lack of it can be a deal breaker when you are trying to be romantic. Men, no body wants to rub their cheek up against sandpaper as they are cuddling. There are always some exceptions but for the most part if you do not have a full fledged beard then you need to make your face as soft as possible for close situations. Make your partner want to touch the soft skin of your face. Ladies don't think you are getting off easy on this one. Your legs need the same amount of attention for the romance to flow. Stubble on either sex is a real turn off. So if you want hands all over your body make it more attractive. Give them smooth sexy skin to feel not prickly porcupine needles. Believe me in that if you take the time to shave the touch will feel so much better to you and your partner.

Her wearing his clothes is okay, but it is a little different when he wears her clothes.

One of the most beautiful things to see when I come home is my female partner in one of my t-shirts with only her panties on underneath. It can even be a dress shirt or a sweat shirt. However when you turn the tables it just seems a little creepy if the guy wears the woman's clothes when she comes home. First of all we have to take in account the size matters. Men are generally bigger then their female counter part so putting on their clothes might be a challenge physically. Women's clothes are also cut for the curves of a woman and the guys don't have thinner waistlines then the women. When a woman wears a man's clothes her curves can be noticed even under a larger item of clothing so that make is a little better for her. Plus it is not as much of a gender difference in clothes as women's fashions near mens. Call me old fashion but I don't have the desire to dress in my female partners clothes, I am not knocking anyone that dressing in drag as that is their lifestyle choice. Again going back to me being old fashion I still would like to come home and see my female partner in just her panties and a t-shirt of mine. That is sexy to me.

Attend all weddings you can.

Something that always seems to get people in the mood for romance is a good wedding. I guess it is just the fact of the special day and two people expressing their love to each other that gets our romance juices flowing. We either visualize our wedding day from the past or our hope that someday we will get married. It is my understanding that there is also a such a thing as wedding sex, where you are more likely to have intimacy after attending a wedding then many other events. Maybe it is the romance in the air or the booze they serve during the reception. Which ever one it is don't miss a chance to get your wedding groove on.

Romantic Move for Men at a wedding : Men if you want to score big points, during the vows, reach over and hold your partners hand, and squeeze it a little during important parts of the vows.

Romantic Move for Women at a wedding : After you form the line to send the bride and groom off on their honeymoon, whisper in your partners ear, "Let relive our honeymoon when we get home!"

Good luck to you and your wedding adventures.

Valentine's Day Gift Idea - Sexy Robe and Slippers

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.

Okay men it's our turn to find something sexy to wear.

Nothing thrills me more then my partner to wear something sexy to bed. One it makes her feel beautiful and it also makes me feel great. Knowing that my partner is thinking of looking sexy for me and her is a great turn on. For men however this is not a easy as it sounds. We are kinda limited in what we can wear to bed with our partner. We don't want to wear our normal everyday underwear but we don't want to look like a really bad stripper either. Where can a guy find nice sexy underwear that isn't on the edge of sleazy? I think the first thing you can do is buy some underpants that you only wear on special dates. Pick a day when you partner will see you in your unusually underpants and get them wondering, "where did he get those" Surprising them with something they have not seem before might just turn them on a little. If that doesn't work then pick up a different style of underpants that you don't normally wear. If you are a tighty whitey guy then pick up some silk boxers, or even boxer brief are nice. Get some it bright colors or with different patterns on them so they draw attention to your package. Let you partner touch and feel them as you are wearing them not only for yourself but for them also. hisroom.com carries several different types of underpants for you to choose from and you can click on the title of this post to be whisked away to that site.

Leave a special book mark.

Does your partner love to read? If so there is a great idea that will help you tell them you love them as the read along in their favorite book. All you need is a little post it note and a pen. Write or draw a little love note on the post it note. When you partner is not looking slip the sticky note onto a page that they have not read yet. Imagine their feelings when they find the note as they are just reading along. I am sure it will make them smile and feel all warm inside. It doesn't have to be something long just a short note to tell them you are thinking about them will do. The picture is a perfect example.

Don't be to shy to open up to someone you love.

So many times we keep to ourselves and don't let anyone in. If you are doing this to the love of your life you are making a big mistake. The one person that you should be able to trust should be that person you want to spend the most time with. Now I am not saying open up totally to someone you just met, you have to get to know them first. When you have been in a relationship for a while you need to confide and trust them. Tell them the things you need to get off your chest or the things that haunt you. If you have fantasies you can share them with this person. This is the best place for judgement not to be passed. One thing I would suggest is if you are feeling a little indifferent on a subject talk it out with your partner. Tell them that you don't know why you feel this way and then explain the way you feel to them. You might not like going to your parents house or sitting at the back of the movie theater, things like this deserve an explanation. This way your partner doesn't keep asking you why or keep trying to get you to do something you don't want to or that freaks you out. You might be a little surprised that if you get these issues off your chest to your partner, how much stronger your relationship can become. For example if you were scared by clowns as a child and have a fear of them, your partner will know not to buy tickets to the circus, or if you have cousins that teased and hit you as a child, they will understand why you don't want to go to the family reunion that you got an invitation to. Bringing your partner into the light on things that upset you will help shed new light on your relationship.

Ready to move your relationship on to the next level.

Okay your relationship to this point has be great, you enjoy your partner, you have got to have sex. Now however you want to know a little more, you want to see if you can move your relationship to a more deeper level or area. Maybe your a little nervous about trying to move things into the next level but their is no better time then the present. Here is what you do very secretly go out to your local sex toy shop and purchase an item to be used on or by your partner. Get items like vibrators, or a G spot stimulator for a woman for a guy in your life purchase a masturbation sleeve or a cock ring. You can get a butt plug for either person. Now take your item home and wrap it up put a note inside that says simply "Want Play". Leave it for you lover to find sometime when you are not home. Now comes the hard part, do not say a word about the present let them bring it up and tell you their feelings about it. If a couple of weeks go by and they don't say a word about it then you can mention it and see their reaction.

By doing this you tell them you are interested in using these type of items with them and it give them a chance to tell you how they feel about these items. Maybe they were just waiting for someone to break the ice.

Our Readers Opinions on Number of Dates before Sex.

Our viewers have spoken up and 74 % of them suggest waiting for at least 2-10 dates before having sex with the person you are dating. It was an even split with 37% each saying 2-4 dates was enough and 5-10 dates should be required. 12% said you should try your date on the very first date and 12% suggested you should wait for marriage to start your party. I tend to agree with the 74% and believe that you can wait to long to where the date loses interest and on the first date is just silly. I personally don't believe anyone should wait all the way til marriage to have sex for the first time, and this is because some people are not sexually compatible and you don't want to enter a long term commitment and then realize that you sex life is going to suck. Let us know your feelings on these findings and you may give us your input also we love to hear it.

Don't pass up other peoples parties.

A good way to see how well you and your partner will interact with others is to venture out to a party you have been invited to. It is easy to skip these parties and I will be the first one to tell you being trapped at a boring party is not very much fun. First thing to do is give your and your partner a way out, tell the host or hostess you can only stay for an hour, then if the party is lame you are only there for an hour, on the other hand you can stay longer if you both are having a good time. Always respect your partner if they want to leave. Never ignore a request that your partner is not having a good time. Drinking is fine at these parties as long as one of you is sober enough to drive. As I mentioned earlier this will help tell you how well the two of you are as a couple it tests all the things you might have trouble with later on in your relationship. If you can make it through a friends party and still find the enjoy each others company more then the other people at the party you are well on your way to building a solid relationship. However if you find that you can't find happy ground at the party or your partner is snubbing you for the cute little lady in the corner you have now seen the red flag. Sure these parties might not be the most fun you have ever had but they will show you a thing or two about your partner.

Tought times make romance even more important.

Right now most people are in the same boat. We are all having to really nit pick what we spend our money on. With this most of the romantic things we use to spend money on are falling to the way side until better times return. For the romantic at heart this is a real bummer, however if you are creative you can still bring the romance home in other forms. Maybe you can't afford a big fancy dinner out, but maybe you can make a nice meal at home for your partner and you to enjoy. A huge bunch of flowers might be just a little too much, but a nice single rose still says "I Love You" For every romantic thing you use to do you can find a less expensive version. Going out for drinks can be replaced with buying some booze for home and inviting friends over to play board games. Spending the night snuggling on the couch watching movies under a blanket with microwave popcorn can replace going to the megaplex and paying $10 a piece to see the same movie. I hope you see where I am headed with all this. You don't have to stop being romantic you just have to find less expensive ways to do the same things. However some to the best things are and will always be free. Long talks, hand in hand walks, and making love all night are still high on the romantic list and to my knowledge have never cost anything.
