How To Optimize Your Bedroom For Sex
Unless your husband is Don Juan, who will fly you to Monaco and have you nosedive deep into a bed of a million roses, it’s mostly up to us women to set the perfect ambiance for a night of great sex.
And that’s okay because women tend to put much more thought and consideration into these things. We like to decorate and put our design skills to work as it’s our creative forte. It’s even therapeutic to dress up a space for a beautiful occasion.
Preparing your bedroom for a night of fantastic sex can be accomplished with a few simple accouterments or the most lavish of themes. It’s strictly up to you whether “less is more” or “more is better” to create an ambiance that will feed into the eroticism you’re desiring with your husband.
Below, we will give you an idea of where to start, and you can decide what would be suitable for a night of steamy lovemaking. So, where should you begin to optimize your bedroom for sexy time? Let’s take a closer look…
Set Up the Perfect Lighting
Great lighting is key, which, for sex, means the most flattering lighting.
The last thing you want your bedroom to feel like is the office or a sterile operating room. Say goodbye to harsh florescent lighting and other types of lighting that are akin to flood lamps.
Instead, you can opt for soft lighting and candles, which are always a more sensuous option. And there’s a variety of beautiful accent lighting available in many different hues and designs that can help you set the mood.
According to Architectural Digest, “glow-y lighting” is the ideal choice: “Never underestimate the power of good lighting. Harsh overhead fixtures are jarring to the senses and unflattering for virtually everyone. Mood lighting is an art form, which, when done right, can highlight our desirable physical qualities while diminishing our self-perceived flaws, hopefully making us feel all the sexier. Basically, think about whatever lighting makes you feel good. Confidence is key. Opt for natural light (streaking moonlight from a window, for example), Himalayan salt lamps, stand-alone dimmer lamps, or amber-glass bulbs to achieve a warm glow.”
Consider trying a black light and a matching set of skimpy, light-colored lingerie. We guarantee, he will never forget it.
Closing Thoughts
Everything from soft lights and candles to a more creative “light show” can really enhance the mood between you and your husband. It’s up to you to create the ambiance you want. Test out various setups and see what makes you feel sexiest. More importantly, be sure to make it fun and exciting for you both. He will be thrilled to see what you come up with.
