6. Invite excitement to the bedroom
by making an intimate video
Two consenting adults can do whatever
they’d like in the comfort of their own
home, and sometimes that includes a
camera. If you’re feeling especially randy
(and body confident; what’s the point of
making a sex tape if you won’t want to
watch it afterward?), set the mood and
get psyched for a night of naughty lovemaking a la Chi Chi LaRue.
7. Browse an antique shop together
to find a thoughtful gift separately
Valentine’s Day should never be about
material possessions, but there’s a way to
make buying your sweetie something
tangible much more memorable. Instead
of ordering an arbitrary item online or
stopping by the florist on the drive home,
schedule an outing to a local antique
shop. Once there, establish a reasonable
budget (say, $20 each) and go your separate ways to find a thoughtful, personalized trinket for the other that you’ll
both cherish forever.
8. Rent a cheap motel room and

enjoy a tantalizing little tryst
Sex can get stale in the same environment over and over – and Valentine’s
Day is the perfect opportunity to spice
things up. This year, go low – rent, that is
– by booking a less-than-luxurious motel
room to set up a seedy-yet-steamy encounter with your S.O. In anticipation of
the evening’s events, sext your partner
throughout the day to help elevate their
arousal level so they’re rarin’ to go as
soon as they step through the door.
– even if it’s sometimes hard to remember it. Take a trip down memory lane
this Valentine’s Day by retracing your first
date from start to finish – whatever that
may entail. The feelings from that initial
encounter will come flooding back like
they never left, and you’ll be reminded of
the myriad reasons that you work so
hard to keep this one-of-a-kind coupling
intact.
9. Set up a relaxing and romantic
at-home spa experience
Cutting costs doesn’t mean you’re cutting
quality so long as you’re committed to
being creative. You can save several hundred dollars on professional spa treatments by eliminating the middleman and
getting down to business one on one.
Give each other a body trim, soak in a
hot tub, swap massages, and let the rest
of night fulfill itself.
10. Recreate your very first date
There’s a reason why you two fell in love
