Toys and Costumes: Adding Interest to the Bedroom

No matter what kind of relationship you find yourself in, give it a little time and it will begin to feel stale. Especially in the bedroom. Thankfully, there’s a lot that can be done to create a new feeling, a little spice, in a relationship. One way to add excitement is with toys and costumes. Toys: Not Just for Kids As children, we delighted to receive the Sears toy catalog (or Toys R Us, if you’re younger) at the holiday season, frantically circling all of the things we wanted to receive. As adults, we can feel that same glee when the Adam & Eve catalog arrives in the mailbox. Even better, we can access a huge variety of toys online! And since many communities have more upscale adult stores, we no longer have to wear protection walking into the one adult DVD store in town. Toys are an experiment, so talk with your partner(s) and see what you might be interested in trying. There are the standbys of vibrators, plugs, and cock rings, but perhaps you’ll be more adventurous and try a strap-on or wearable vibrator. There are all kinds of items to try to see what you like. Remember, just because you didn’t like one dildo doesn’t mean another one won’t be just the right fit for you. Costumes: Who Do You Want to Be? Although the goal in the bedroom is usually to be wearing as little clothing as possible, who says you can’t start with a little fun first? Play it simple and stick to lingerie, or go all out. And we’re not just talking about the ladies here; men can get in on the fun as well! There is a multitude of websites with costumes for everyone, and you can—and should—have fun with it. Adding It Up: Role playing So you have your toys, you have your costumes…the next step is to put them together for a little role playing fun. Cowboys and Indians takes on a whole new meaning when you’re an adult! How about a wolf and Red Riding Hood? Or a couple of superheroes? All of it can be fun when you relax and let yourself enjoy the moment. Sure, this might not be an every-time thing, but for that time when you need a little extra kick, you might find that your boredom is replaced with some brand-new excitement.
