Needed: Ideas + a Giveaway
In response to Saturday’s post (about changing up small things to add interest in the bedroom) a commentor said:
“I need ideas… after 23 years I’m all out…”
Well, that sounds like the perfect challenge for a giveaway. :)
Ladies, let’s hear your ideas for making things sizzle in the bedroom. Your ideas need to be small, simple, and doable. How do you change up a little something to add interest in the bedroom?
Leave your ideas as a comment to this post and on Monday, September the14th, I’ll pick a random number and the poster on that spot will win a copy of Passion Pursuit (or the book of your choice from the Marriage Book Library)
Looking forward to hearing your ideas! We could all use a little creative help now and then.
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen. John Steinbeck

Look into Christian Adult Nursing Relationships. Being nursed from my husband a couple of times a day has added such a level of intimacy due to the bonding hormones that get released. It is so relaxing and often leads to great sex because we are so interconnected with each other. It [edit] has been an incredible experience for the two of us.
Lighting!! Rope lights around headboard, or lamps, or somewhere that will set the mood, let you see each other but not glaring mood killers. We use blue. Red is pretty too.
My Prince actually wasn’t so fond of ideas I tried.
(the more I tried, the scarier–his word–he found me)
He simply wanted to thrill me by being himself.
Kiss for longer than normal! We’ve gotten into a rut of just a quick kiss hello or good-bye and when one of us kisses longer, it gets sparks flying!
We have a picture frame with just the glass over a printed paper. I change that out from time to tome with words from our favorite songs, or a poem or whatever. We use a dry erase marker on the glass to leave each other love notes and encouragement.
Play a kissing game with a die or two. If you roll one die, kiss that many times in a location of your choosing. If you use two dice, you can assign a body part to each number on one of the dice. So you might roll “2 kisses to the neck,” etc. This can be a fun, different way to get things started in the bedroom.
I love your emails my Husband and I both get your emails. It has been very encouraging to read.
Keep your bedroom clean and tidy, twinkle lights along the top of the headboard, genuinely being kind to each other outside of the bedroom, romantic blends of essential oils diffused throughout the evening. Another idea using scent would be to only wear a certain scent during intimate times; eventually your spouse will associate that scent with lovemaking.
Do something totally unexpected. Like walk into his study, or meet him at the door completely naked. Flash him randomly. Touch him when he least expects it. I’ve squeezed a butt cheek or two at church.
Send daily notes, take interest, be on the moment, be present, show you are willing, respond, be energized, talk to us, don’t just lay there. We want to be making love, not a door mat.
We sleep naked and have a close cuddle time and talk every night. We ask about each other’s day, reminisce or talk intimacy. It is the best part of our day!
Erotic essential oils diffused; battery candles (we have ones with a timer) classical music, we have a dice game that we have used (one die says what, the other die says where); make love in a room besides your bedroom; whipped cream
