Valentine's Day is often associated with partnered romance, but for me, this year, it's a perfect opportunity to explore my sensuality solo. Here are five kinky date ideas for a memorable self-love experience ;):
1. Solo nude session:
Make yourself beautiful, wear your most beautiful lingerie, your favorite kimono and take naughty photos just for you. My tip is to take a lot of photos so you'll eventually find a few that you like. The goal is really to take these photos in the angles where you find yourself comfortable and beautiful; not for someone else's gaze.
2. Listen to Ethical Porn:
The porn industry has often had a bad reputation for many reasons. Fortunately, directors like Erika Lust have decided to create erotic films that are realistic, inclusive and respectful of everyone's body image.
Lust launched XConfessions, erotic films based on the confessions and fantasies of its audience. Erika and guest directors choose the best each month to star in captivating cinematic porn films that portray sex and sexuality as healthy, fun and joyful parts of life.
There is also Make Love not Porn , an amateur erotic film platform. If porn is the Hollywood blockbuster, MLNP is the documentary. Social sex is simply doing what we all do on social platforms: capturing what's happening in the real world, spontaneously, as it happens, in all its funny, messy, glorious, wonderful, awkward, human dimension. comical and beautiful, and share it. The videos on MLNP are not scripted or choreographed.
3. Listen to erotic literature:
If visual stimulation isn't really your thing, there are several apps that offer pretty Olé Olé audio stories. Dipsea in English only, Femtasy in French, English and German, and the new Satisfyer app - Remotyca which also offers guided meditations.
4. Shop for a vibrator (duuuuh): Discover our bestsellers here
5. Explore new positions during masturbation:
Often, during our moments of intimate pleasure, we have the same routine. The same toy, place and movement that works for us. It's never too late to discover other sensations even if we think we already know everything about our body.
You can simply start by changing the room, putting on some music if that's something you don't already do, using a mirror etc... The possibilities are endless!
