Baby, it’s cold outside

February is here and true to its nature, it’s frigid outside! The low temperatures, snow and freezing rain make many people want to do one thing – stay inside. More specifically, stay in bed. So instead of dreading this weather, why not try to enjoy it as much as possible?

For those of you with a racy side, let me set the scene. You’re done with class for the day, so you figure you might as well go see your man. You’re all bundled up like an Eskimo, equipped with a knit hat, scarf, long pea coat and boots. Once you get safely inside his warm apartment, you slowly begin to unbutton your pea coat, revealing that you have nothing on except a knit hat, scarf and boots. Instantly, he will be fixated upon you and that Xbox game he was playing before you arrived will be forgotten. Now, you may be asking yourself, “Why do I need to have on the hat, etc.?” This is because it gives more of an illusion that it’s just a normal day – you aren’t trying to alert him that you are doing anything special for him. Plus, a little bit of clothing, even if it is just a scarf and boots, will add to his visual stimulation when he sees you standing there in little to nothing other than that – he may even want you to wear your boots during the deed. And although you may find the trip from your car to his door is quite cold, I can almost guarantee you won’t be that way for long!

Now that the two of you have gotten all hot and bothered, it’s time to experiment a little with temperatures. When you’re ready for foreplay, don’t just dive into it. Grab two cups and fill one with ice and one with a hot liquid – in lieu of keeping it seasonal, I suggest hot cocoa. The alternating temperatures will make oral sex more stimulating and exciting. He’s used to the 98.6 degrees of your mouth, but bringing it down to 32 degrees will be very different, and then quickly changing the temperature to hot again will have him in frenzy – but make sure it’s not too hot, you don’t want to scald your mouth or his member!

As for you romantics, why not invite him over and open the door in a sexy piece of lingerie, maybe something long and white but still revealing, and a pair of heels. Have your fireplace lit, if you have one, and candles. Have a spot set up on the floor for him to lie down and grab some massage oil – if you’re feeling fancy, you can purchase a candle that’s wax burns to become massage oil. I definitely think that you should have the oil heated, since he did just come in out of the cold! Maybe tantalize your taste buds by licking warm chocolate syrup off of each other!

Hot tubs can also be rather exciting when you’re feeling a little naughty in the winter months. Grab a bottle of wine, slip into your bathing suit, turn off the interior lights and nonchalantly remove your bottom – I bet things won’t be nonchalant for long!

And sex isn’t the only way to keep warm together during the winter. Take the time that you’re cooped up inside together as a chance to get to know each other on a more emotional level. Jump into your sweats, grab a blanket, make him watch your favorite chick flick and play him in a round of “Call of Duty” – perhaps this is a chance to find out if you can handle his company in large doses! Not to mention, cuddling and snuggling can be quite nice!

So let’s all cross our fingers that Saturday’s forecast is right, so hopefully you and your honey can get snowed-in together in order to take advantage of this winter weather!
