If you’re fortunate enough to finally be able to escape for a romantic getaway, packing for the trip is just as important as planning the trip. Whether you’re just getting away for the night or leaving for a grand adventure, make sure you have packed all of the sexy essentials to make your trip unforgettable.
We’re sure you know how to pack your underwear, swimsuit and pajamas. But let’s not forget that a big component of a romantic getaway is sex. Whether traveling by land, air or sea, you want to make sure you can bring a fun bag of goodies without embarrassing yourself or the friendly guys at TSA!
1. Think travel-sized. We all know the 3-1-1- rule. You are allowed to bring a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes in your carry-on bag and through the checkpoint. These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item. However, that quart bag must be clear. If you don’t want everyone seeing your preferred brand of lubricant, we suggest a travel-size case such as this one by Uber Lube. A refillable case that is sturdy, refillable, leak-proof and discreet is the first thing you should toss into your travel bag.
2. Think disposable. Packing for a trip is fun but packing to return home? Not always! We’ve all heard stories of nice sex toys that were lost, damaged or destroyed on vacation. There are now a lot of good quality sex toys on the market that are made to tossed away at the end. We particularly like the line from Screaming O. They were one of the first on the market to recognize that sex toys don’t have to be expensive to be off good quality. Their line of bullets, cock rings and couple toys will ensure a good time on your honeymoon and you won’t have to worry about packing them up in the end. Best of all, they come complete with batteries!
3. Think new experiences. This trip is all about strengthening your romantic connection. There is no one else in the world you will feel closer to or have this much trust in as your partner. If you have a fantasy, share it! Always wanted to be tied up? Slip some silk ties or handcuffs in your suitcase. Curious about pegging? Bring along a strap on. I promise you, there is no better or safer space to introduce something then when you’re all romantic and close on your getaway trip.
4. Think discreet. There is nothing more potentially embarrassing than hearing your suitcase buzzing when going through security or checking into a hotel. Make sure your vibrators have either travel-locks to prevent unwanted buzzing or remove the batteries before packing.

How to Really Celebrate Father’s Day
Father’s Day is approaching and although you may be tempted to get back at him for the lack of imagination he showed you on Mother’s Day – don’t! After all, no one could possibly live up to the hype that surrounds Mother’s Day – it’s the Hallmark equivalent of Valentine’s Day almost -except with zero benefit to him! Father’s Day however, only takes up 1/3 the amount of greeting card space and seems to suffer from the notion that all men want to do on Father’s Day is drink beer and play golf.
Assuming your man is one of the millions that don’t want to drink beer and play golf – how else should you celebrate? Let’s face it – men are very simple creatures. It takes very little to make them happy. Unlike Mother’s Day, they don’t need a card full of sappy sentiment nor do they want the perfect present of jewelry, flowers and chocolate (you can see why Mother’s Day is a lot like Valentine’s Day). All they really need to make them happy this Father’s Day is a mind-blowing orgasm.
Yes, yes, I know, you do a lot throughout the year and you’d like a mind-blowing orgasm once a year too. Well tough, this day is about him. And if you do it right, I’m sure he’ll return the favor. So buy yourself some sexy lingerie. No need to spend a fortune, it won’t stay on for too long anyway. And don’t worry about how you look in it – he really doesn’t care. He’ll think you look good in anything slutty no matter how many rolls of fat are sticking out. Really, the gold standard in buying lingerie should be if you wouldn’t be caught dead in it – he’ll probably love it.
Next, foreplay. Don’t get too carried away. The average sexual experience only lasts an average of 3 minutes. You don’t want all your hard work and planning to go to waste. Don’t bother with scented candles, they’ll only make him sneeze. Maybe cue up a good erotic movie. Remember, men are visual creatures. The story line does not matter. After a few minutes, you should be good to go.
Finally, the mind-blowing orgasm part. Hate to break it to you ladies, but it’s a blow job. It’s really all he wants for Father’s Day – so why not just give it to him. He’ll be so grateful. According to Marcy Michaels in her book Blow Him Away: How to Give Him Mind-Blowing Oral Sex, even mediocre blow jobs make men happy. So unless you have an unfortunate tendency to bite, it’s very hard to perform an unsuccessful blowjob. But this is Father’s Day – we’re not shooting for mediocre. Remember the standard is mind-blowing. So how is mind-blowing accomplished? Start with simply paying attention to him. You know the saying that foreplay begins at breakfast? That only applies to women. For him, start the moment by focusing solely on him. No distracting television, no worrying that the kids are going to walk him, no interrupting in the middle to wonder if you paid the mortgage bill. This is all about him. So kiss him, look at him, tell him how much you love him and how you still find him sexy. Pay attention to his whole body, not just his penis. We’ll get to that in a minute. But for just a few minutes, enjoy all of him from the top of his scalp to the tip of his toes.
Next, focus on his goods. But not too quickly. There’s more down there than just his penis. Stroke his perineum, his balls before gently taking him in your mouth. And remember that men are visual creatures – maintain eye contact. Act like this is the best experience you’ve ever had. Use some flavored lubricants if you like (this is the one instance where you can think about your preference). Warm up by running your lips around his penis – avoid the head at first. When you’re ready, take him into your mouth slowly and massage his balls simultaneously. Don’t forget his perineum – it’s a very sensitive area. Finally, use your hands or a tool like the Doc Johnson Good Head Helping Head to stroke him while engaging him in your mouth. And don’t forget to swallow – it’s Father’s Day after all!
How to Get Ready for Date Night
We’ve all been there. It’s date night. The babysitter’s been called, reservations have been made, your significant other has actually showered AND changed clothes. But for whatever reason, you’re just not feeling it. Maybe you’re tired from a long day of work, maybe you’re stressing about your kids, maybe you’re pre-menstrual, menstrual or post-menstrual (all perfectly valid excused BTW!). But it’s a shame to waste all of those carefully laid plans. So you go out, and end up not enjoying yourself at all. Because bottom line, if you’re not feeling it, date night is not going to work, and may even end up worse then if you haven’t gone at all.
We’ve all heard the expression “foreplay begins at breakfast.” And it’s true. For women getting ready is more about showering and changing. It’s about bringing your mind and body together for an arousing evening. So here are some tips for you to do on the day of your date night to make sure all your stars are aligned for a truly romantic evening.
- Plan Ahead. Sure winging it can be fun and spontaneous, but we’d argue that the best date nights start with careful planning. Have a reservation, arrange a babysitter, leave yourself plenty of time. These things will all ensure that your date night is stress-free.
- Anticipate. Nothing is sexier than anticipation. Get you and your partner in the mood by a little harmless sexting. Tell him what you are going to wear (and what you are not going to wear later!).
- Eat lunch. If you are going out for dinner, be sure to eat a lite lunch first. Nothing is less sexy than a bloated, gassy belly. If you skip lunch, you’ll be more likely to overindulge at dinner. Enjoy your dinner, even have dessert, but don’t go too hungry and pig out!
- Feel pretty. If you’re not feeling it, you’re not looking it. So put on your most confident outfit and touch up hair and make-up before you go out.
- Have a cocktail. Nothing is more relaxing than a cocktail (or two!). You don’t need to get tipsy, but there’s nothing wrong with a drink at dinner.
- Rely on the old standards. Music, candles, lingerie. All of this works for a reason.
- Introduce something new. Have you ever tried a pair of vibrating panties? I guarantee that if you surprise your guy with a remote control at dinner, you probably won’t make it to dessert! Dropping a little romantic suggestion at dinner will guarantee a happy ending for you both!
