This year, we are encouraging you to try new things in the bedroom and leave behind old stale practices. Open your mind and body to new experiences and ideas while reflecting on what's previously worked to make for a new and refreshed sexual outlook.
It's a new year so it’s time to bring new ideas into the bedroom and perhaps open doors to things you’re yet to explore. Can you take our weeklong challenge of trying new ideas?

1st January |
Add accessories; dressing up in lingerie or using silk ties and restraints. There is a science behind lingerie and confidence. Challenge yourself to wear lingerie or even matching underwear before engaging in sex / foreplay or masturbation and see the difference. Accessories such as silk ties can be used to enhance sexual experience. If used as a blindfold this means that the rest of the senses can flourish. If used to tie up hands or feet, this means it’s dipping into dom and sub play BDSM. |

2nd January |
Get talking. If you're in a partnership, get talking to your partner about what you most enjoy in the bedroom, and what you’re happy to leave in 2023. A good way to do this and break the ice is to use truth or dare cards. If solo, write down a journal entry of when and how you’re best solo orgasms take place, and observe any patterns in these you’d like to take into 2024. |
|
3rd January |
Get romantic. Romance means different things to us all. If romance to you is the traditional roses and chocolate, then prioritise today to put time aside to indulge in exactly that with your partner. Or yourself! Putting time aside for this act of romance (no matter how big or small) will help to build intimacy and doesn’t have to end in sex. It’s just building closeness with yourself or your partner to lead to overall better sex. |

4th January |
Try something out of your ordinary. What have you never tried before? Some lesser used foreplay techniques we like are; Heat play (heating and cooling lubes or ice cubes) and food play (edible lube and food used externally on the body). We challenge you to try these tonight even if it’s alone, to spice up the mood and open the gateway to trying something entirely new. |
|
5th January |
Try edging. Have a battle with who can last longest without having an orgasm while engaging in sexual acts with edging, a sexual practice that involves controlling or delaying an orgasm to extend physical arousal. You can also do this solo and try to beat your best time. |
|
6th January |
Get out of bed. Try to engage in sexual activity outside of your bed. This can be with a partner or alone. Try somewhere that you feel safe and comfortable to do so and see the sparks fly due to a change of scenery. |
|
7th January |
Get wet. Literally. We suggest taking a toy to the shower or bath if you’re solo (always check your toys are waterproof – all of ours are). Or if you have a partner, invite them into the water with you and experiment with foreplay or toy use together in the bath or shower. Always be careful when experimenting in water. |
