When you’re snuggling is also a great time to talk about your relationship and your future, which can be really romantic for partners that have been together almost a year or more. Really, you can talk about anything you want to talk about. However, talking about needing to go to the grocery store on Saturday isn’t very romantic. Just keep that in mind. Don’t schedule romance in bed or just outright say that you want to go have sex. Being romantic means being subtle, so you’ll need to either wait until you’re in bed as normal or find another way to get them in bed and set the tone for romance. Try flirting and then taking their hand and leading them to the bed.

Get creative with your kisses. Kiss every freckle and mole. Put on lipstick and “draw” a heart with kisses. There are lots of ways to making kissing more romantic, sexy, and memorable.

Try putting a bottle of massage oil (or baby oil, if that’s easier to find) in a bowl of warm water and warm up your hands before putting the oil on their skin. The warm sensations will get the massage off on the right foot.

You can wear sexy lingerie, write a love note in permanent marker, or get creative with your shaving routine (turning your pubic or chest hair into a heart shape, for example, but admittedly not for everyone). This means you’re going to want to go the extra length on your clothes and underwear too. Pass on the ratty stuff with holes and stains and go for something that’s appropriate for the mood.

If you are a guy, try to turn your girl on. A good form of foreplay for women is oral sex, since this is the most effective form of stimulation for her anatomy. If you are a girl, try to turn your boyfriend on. A good option for turning your guy on is wearing sexy underwear and letting him discover it slowly, like unwrapping a Christmas present.

For example, you can say something like, “When I’m with you everything feels like coming home after being completely lost. When I’m with you, I feel like I have my compass. I’ll never be lost again. "

Good classic poems to recite include Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 116” or E. E. Cummings “somewhere i have never traveled, gladly beyond”.

You can talk about how much you want them to achieve their dream or how much you want them to not have to worry about the things that they struggle with right now. For example, you can say something like, “I really want you to be able to travel the world and see all the things you’re always telling me about. . . and I will do whatever I have to do to make sure you get that chance. "

Say something like, “You look so hot like that. I feel like a teenager again. . . "

Say something like, “I love it when you do that with your tongue. . . "

For example, you can get incense, fabrics, pillows, and maybe a quick new coat of paint to give a room an Indian makeover before you show your partner just how much you can both learn from the Kama Sutra. You can also set a soundtrack to further the scene. Try anything by Ravi Shankar or try Anoushka Shankar if you want something a little more modern and sexy. You can also buy fancy fabric to drape and hang from the ceiling and walls, transforming an unromantic room into a plush love-den.

You can even make chocolate body paint yourself at home.

It’s a good idea to try to choose a movie which has significance to the two of you. Try to track down the first movie you ever saw together, for example.

You can find photographers that specialize in this kind of photography or you can do it yourself. Of course, it will be hard to get pictures of the two of you together that way but you can take lots of sexy pictures of each other without the discomfort of having another person in the room.
