Reframing Foreplay

Let's reframe foreplay: what if it didn't begin the moment that you and your lover had your hands on each other? Incorporate foreplay into your whole day.

• Take a moment to hold your lover in the morning and share about your dreams before jumping out of bed and starting your day.

• Slow down, notice the sounds and scents of your morning coffee or tea brewing, feel the hot water of your shower cascade over your skin, the blissful feeling of sliding into freshly washed sheets.

• A few minutes of self-or shared- massage goes a long way to relieve stress and bring you back into your body.

• Kiss your partner hello, goodbye, and everything in between. Hold their face in your hands, be tender, be present. Feel their body against yours.

• Admire your partner: do they look hot? Tell them! Do they do that one thing really well? Praise them!

• Make meals together romantic; it only takes a minute to turn off the lights and burn a few candles instead.

• If you're sitting with your partner, take that opportunity to make contact- hold hands, place your hand on their thigh, wrap your arm around them, stroke their shoulder or back.

• Catch up with each other, and really be present: stare into each other’s eyes, listen to what they have to say and how they feel.

• Thinking about them? Send them a text telling them how excited you are to see them later.

• Enjoy an Eros chocolate off your partner's body.
