Holiday presents are the perfect way to put the sexy back into your relationship
The “cool-off” period is inevitable for every relationship. This is the period of time in a relationship when the sex and/or intimacy, well, cools off. This cool-off period is universal, but the meaning of the cool-off period is unique to every relationship. The classic example of a cool-off period is the decline of sex. At first it was hot: everywhere, every time…which develops into only in bed, sometimes, only when we’re not too tired. However, every couple is different. Maybe you’re still going strong with sex, but your intimacy has disappeared. ie, kissing only leads to sex. Or, maybe both of these areas are still going strong, but your spontaneity has made way into a routine.
If you have found yourself in one of these cool-off periods, or any other form, there is good news! The holiday season is the perfect chance to put the jingle back into your relationship.
Create some alone time
The first rule is that no matter what your plans are for the holiday season, make sure to set aside some private time for jsut the two of you. Don’t forget the stress of the holiday season-present shopping, families, etc-will zap your intimacy and create its own cool-off period if you’re not careful to do this. This is especially important for opening sexy gifts.
Take advantage of the stocking stuffers
Whether you use stockings or not, the point of this tip is to maximize the small gift opportunity. I’m not talking about the small boxes filled with jewelry…opt for the inexpensive, sexy gifts to spice up your holiday gift-giving. Throw in some sexy panties, lube, or my personal favorite…small, disposable sex toys designed for couples. If you’ve never used a toy with your partner before, now is the time to try it and see how fast your relationship will bounce back from its cool-off period. If you’re expecting a lot of holiday stress in the upcoming months, why not open some early-bird stocking stuffers and conquer that cool-off period before it begins. You’ll be amazed how much smoother your holiday season will go when you’re both…well, satisfied.
Get in the holiday spirit
Use the holidays to remember what you’re thankful for, yes I am talking about the real Charlie Brown holiday spirit. This year, take the focus off presents for you and your partner. Instead of stressing about what large gifts to buy eachother, pick up many fun, little gifts. Especially ones that will spice up your relationship, as mentioned above. Open these up so you won’t miss out on unwrapping holiday presents. Then spend the rest of the money on a trip or an event for just you two. Some good, quality bonding time. And, don’t forget the cards. Don’t just buy one card, buy many for your lover. Force yourself to write, yes, a real message and exhange them once a week.
Don’t forget the mistletoe
Kissing is a great way to ignite the fire back into your cool-off period. Try hanging mistletoe around the house, or pull out a surprise mistletoe and start a new routine of kissing. First thing in the morning, before you leave the house, immediately when you see your lover (kiss before you even greet eachother) and before you go to bed. Just watch how long it takes for the cool-off period to turn around.
