How to Revive Eroticism During Covid-19 in Lancaster

Most of you reading this have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in one way or another. Some individuals are enjoying this break from our previous fast-paced living, but others are feeling more disconnected than ever. 

How has Covid-19 impacted your sexuality and intimacy with your partner? Have you rediscovered your sensuality and being in the present? Or is sex the last thing on your mind? 

During this time of disconnect, we can learn to connect with those around us, and even awaken sexuality within the relationship and take our intimacy to the next level. 

Here are ways in which you can revive your eroticism: 

DIY Project
This is the ideal time to reconnect with your body. Explore what feels good, try things you haven’t considered and figure out what your limits are. When we know ourselves in and out and communicate well with our partners, we’re setting up sensual success. Don’t be afraid to learn what makes you tick. Dim the lights or light a candle to set a romantic tone, play songs that make you feel sexy, and see where your hands take you. 

Playing the Part
Many couples enjoy adding a narrative to their sex life. Maybe you’ve or your partner has interesting fantasies that could be fulfilled during role play. You can dress up in a variety of ways, according to themes, professions, characters from your favourite shows, you name it. Try to find new ‘spots’ in your home for intimacy. No matter how long you’ve been dating, trying something new and out of your comfort zone could be rather thrilling.  

Practice Self-Care
It’s truly important to take care of yourself before connecting with others. During these confusing times it’s easy to get comfortable wearing your pajamas day in and day out. Don’t forget about caring for your body and health to increase your chances of feeling sexy and sensual. If you were used to dressing up and putting on make-up to feel like your best self, don’t stop now. 

Strictly Massaging
For some individuals, there is nothing that gets them in the mood more than ‘forbidden’ fruit. Schedule regular massages where you engage in sensual touching - but - no touching of the genitals. Restrictive touch could elevate your sensual experience and is likely to leave you wanting more. 

Play and Tease
It’s a great idea to bring back the playfulness in your relationship. Whether it’s tickling or chasing each other around your underwear or even play wrestling - getting the blood flowing and adding an element of competition might just revive your eroticism. When things are serious and uncertain like now, it’s good to connect with our playful selves in order to stay present, and laughing together is a great way to share the moment. 

These are just a few ways in which you breathe back life into your intimacy, and maybe learn something new about yourself and your partner. There is no shame in enjoying and exploring sex during these distressing times, it might even help you relax and appreciate the present moment.
