5 Ways to Spice Up your Sex Life during COVID
You’re not alone if you’re feeling stagnant with your solo or partnered sex life. After all, we’re wired for community connection - and it can take a lot of work when we’re locked up in the same room all day. Here are some ideas to get get your creative erotic energy flowing:
Challenge yourself to have an orgasm a day on your own! Buy a subscription to a new ethical pornography cite to ignite new fantasy pathways. Or, purchase a new erotic novel to give you new stories to access during your solo sex time.
Download a dating app, pick your favorite city that you hope to visit “after COVID” and search for a sexting partner or a romantic flirting buddy. You can be penpals during this COVID time. After all, some of the most successful erotic stories started from a distance (and our erotic energy starts by being cultivated in our mind...)
Download a sex idea app and pair with a partner to generate new sexual scripts - try out: XConfessions, Own Your Sex or Sex Game Roulette to get started.
Go on an outdoor hike with your partner, and make it erotic by using a vibrating toy you can control with your phone. Check out: https://www.lovense.com/ for vibrating clitoral stimulation, butt plugs, and more!
Make your own mask porn video. It’s starting to trend online (but that doesn’t mean you have to post it). Save (with password protection) the video for you to come back to later :)
Still running into challenges? Reach out to a therapist who can help you overcome any challenges - whether it’s shame, trauma, body image issues - these are all common areas that a therapist trained in intimacy issues can help you overcome in order to thrive in your sex life.
