It may not be breaking news that a little buzz doesn’t hurt the game of foreplay in the bedroom, but who says a couple new tricks up your sleeve won’t help you have a little extra fun in the process. Although food and wine parings may be my forte, I am hoping my suggestions on a few playful ideas for the vino before the sheets may also come in handy for ‘dessert’. It doesn’t take a lot of booze to create the mood, usually it’s the contrary. My suggestions allow you to use your glass as part of your ‘outfit’, or as playful date night ideas that can provide some excitement by just doing something different than the same old dinner and a movie syndrome.
My first suggestion does involve a more traditional approach, but with a little bit of a twist. Create a date night at home, where each of you chooses a wine you would like to have that evening. The task is for the other partner to create a dish that pairs with your wine, and vice versa. Cook together. Many studies show that cooking/eating together, especially with a glass or two of vino, is one of the most romantic and emotionally connecting activities couples can do together. And this method not only allow you to spend quality time in creating something together, but it also enables you to make something specifically with the other person’s preferences in mind. Thoughtful, delicious, and romantic… a winning combination.
Feel like dressing up for your man on a night in? Make the vino to be a part of your sexy ensemble. What better way to compliment your new light and airy lingerie set than by sipping on a glass of something just as vivacious? A dry but fruity, bubbly Prosecco from Italy topped with a few macerated strawberries will accentuate the sensual nature of your cool and collected demeanor as you flaunt your seductive threads effortlessly…a recipe for attraction indeed.
Nothing screams excitement like surprise, so why not consider a game of wine in the dark. Chocolate and red wine are both not only delicious on their own, but make for a winning combination when consumed together. Why not add a little spice into the mix by introducing…a blindfold. Yes, I did say blindfold. This suggestion can be amended many ways, but starting with a blindfolded taste test of different types of chocolates and wines, is not a bad way to start the other blindfolded games that may proceed. And yet again, the vino sets the mood, without overwhelming or trashing it.
As you can see, the possibilities of utilizing vino to add a little thrill to your sex life, without it creating a tipsy booze fest, isn’t as hard as you may have thought. The key is to not get carried away by the consumption being the focus, but using it more as an accessory to help light the temptation candle, not have it burn on both ends. Use these suggestions as a platform to create your own special night and creates a whole different kind of ‘buzz’.
