10 Sexy Holiday Date Ideas for This Weekend
* * *
#1 Get a room
If you are visiting relatives this is easy to do. If your eager family insists on putting you and your lover up, cite not wanting to be a burden, the end of the flu, or frequent traveler points are about to expire. If you are home for the holiday, book a room - for no other reason than, because you can. Getting a room gives you an opportunity to leave baggage at home and just enjoy each other. Who cares if you are loud, or if the room looks like Spinal Tap had spent the night. Taking it to the extreme is even more fun with maid service.
#2 Spa day
While every other idiot is standing in line to purchase the last flat screen TV for $10 less than anywhere else, you two are enjoying a couple’s massage. Many luxury spas offer deals this season because the masses would rather get their retail on, as opposed to relaxing. If you are lucky enough to be staying at a hotel that offers this feature en suite, go for it! It reduces travel time for that happy ending.
#3 Gift giving comes early
Shopping doesn’t have to be done at the mall - that is, unless your mall has a Hustler Store. Hitting your favorite sex boutique together for a new toy or outfit is the perfect reward after a long day with family.
#4 Fight the crowd
Bars and restaurants enjoy high volume this season with all those holiday shoppers working up an appetite; why not take advantage of it? Pick a new hot spot and arrive separately. Enjoy the dance of making eye contact from across the room, watch as someone tries to chat up your partner, send a drink over. Picking up your mate is more fun when you pretend you are somebody else for the entire evening.
#5 SextStuck shopping with family, watching football with the cousins, getting a tour of the family town? Smart phones are a wonderful thing to curb the boredom and heighten the anticipation of the end of the fourth quarter. Text your fantasies to each other while doing the mundane. Time flies when you’re having fun.
#6 Get a gift for an 'experience'
Deals are everywhere. Duck into a bath store and grab some body scrub for a mutually beneficial experience. Massages are great, don’t misunderstand we love them but showing your partner some skin-love is something that doesn’t happen enough. Yes, the shower is big enough for both of you. What? You thought it was all about the scrub?
#7 Black out
Sensory Deprivation Tanks, or Isolation Tanks are one of the ultimate ways to rejuvenate. These heavy-duty salt water tanks lock out all sound and light, and allow tensions to melt away. Many places allow you to float with another, but be sure you ask if they have the right size tank to accommodate two. Awareness, sensuality, and relaxation peak after just one session so don’t pick a place too far from home.
#8 Eat in
Don’t have to deal with family? Everyone has gone home? Good. Enjoy the simple culinary pleasures of leftovers a la 9 ½ Weeks. The blindfold, the music, the whip cream…too young to know what I’m talking about? Get the movie.
#9 Make it a Blockbuster night
9 ½ Weeks is classic but why not spend the weekend on other classic titles you never got around to watching. Or just get into the spirit with a little holiday theme: Very, Very Bad Santa, Miracle on 69th Street, and Santa Sluts can bring some joy to the holiday.
#10 Truss it up
A little holiday bondage never hurt anyone. Take this opportunity to set up or reconfigure the restraining system under your bed, try a door system, or sportsheet if you prefer. Enjoy the research. Just when you think you have tried it all.
When all is said and done the holidays are supposed to be for giving, for sharing, and for freeing the love. You have done your duty for home and hearth. There are more days ahead which will test your resolution and get on your last nerve. But if you take a little holiday time for yourself, it will be much easier to make it to the New Year; sanity intact.

Couples! 3 Common Communication Mistakes and Solutions
Marriage is not easy. On the flip side, good communication in long-term relationships can be the best foreplay. While sometimes, we can think it's more healthy not to fight, argue or disagree--it's very normal and healthy! The key is how you disagree and overall how you communicate together. GetLusty for Couples staff writer Erin Wiley is here to talk about common communication fails and what to do about them. Today!
* * *
Words are powerful tools. In relationships, a lack of communication can be the root to many problems a couple will face. The ability to tell each other thoughts, feelings and wants is so important, but can be so hard! Overtime, routine and neglect of issues can lead to disengagement and a loss of understanding one another. So, what are the most common mistakes, but more importantly, how can we fix them?
Communication is crucial as it allows us to share your aspirations and concerns, to support one another, to organize our lives and make decisions together. Effective communication can reduce stress and create a tighter bond.
#1 Not telling your partner what's wrong
According to The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Perfect Marriage, you shouldn't expect your partner to read your mind to have an amazing marriage. As well as you and your partner think you know each other, most people are not clairvoyants. You really can’t assume that your partner knows how you feel or what you want if you're pulling a subtle eyebrow raise. You don’t share the same feelings, worldview or thoughts. You might notice the laundry is piling or remember that the in-laws are coming into town and the fridge is empty, but your partner might not. A mean look and storming away might speak volumes, but it won’t say what you want to be fixed and how it can be prevented next time.
Solution
When in doubt, say it out loud. Clearly explain what you would like do or what is upsetting and state what needs to be done. Make it black and white. Simple things are easier to remember. Having to explain things fully about something you think your partner “should” know about you isn't a sign that he or she doesn't love and care about you. It just means that your partner is a unique and separate person.
#2 Guilt tripping
“If you truly cared about my needs then you would not go watch the game at the bar with your friends this weekend” is an example of guilt slinging. Guilt slinging is manipulative, and a sure fire way to cause backlash. Changes that result from guilt are usually not long lasting because the changes come in response to the coercion and not an inward desire to make it better. Ultimately, guilt trips lead partners to feel resentful and unwanted. Jenna D. Barry is the author of A Wife’s Guide to In-laws: How to Gain Your Husband’s Loyalty Without Killing His Parents notes, “Healthy family relationships are based on love, mutual respect, freedom and honesty—not guilt, obligation and entitlement.”
Solution
This is far more common than you might think. For example, your spouse has gotten on you about spending too much money on something deemed to be frivolous. Perhaps it was a frivolous purchase. If you respond with a remark that dives into the past, bringing up some mistake your spouse made, this is not productive. You are really just putting a guilt trip on your partner in order to deter from the mistake you made. Guilt is a double-edges sword. Guilt is unhealthy because you are blaming someone else for something you may be personally unsatisfied with about yourself. Accepting each others’ faults and discussing what one another can do to work on it will eliminate the guilt you feel or the guilt you want your partner to feel.
Remember that a large part of communication is listening. It is so easy to get in the habit multi-tasking, be off-putting, or want to jump to a conclusion. When couples do not listen to one another it results in a misunderstanding, frustration and anger.
Solution
When you and your partner are talking don't be on pinterest, looking at your watch, picking at your cuticles, etc. Graham Bodie, Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at The Louisiana State University states, “listening is the quintessential positive interpersonal communication behavior as it connotes an appreciation of and an interest in the other… Good listeners can enhance others’ ability to cope with and remember events; they are more liked, rated as more attractive, and garner more trust."
People can show that they're listening or that they're distracted through non-verbal communication. Nod so the other person knows you're getting the message and rephrase if necessary. Make eye contact. Repeat what they have said double checking that there is a mutual understanding. Listening is hard work, but if it is a way to eliminate a future argument and increase an interest in one another, isn’t it worth it?

6 Sexy Date Ideas This Weekend
Maybe you have a couple of hours to get away from family for Thanksgiving weekend. Or maybe you're already alone anyway. How about a date? We love dating, as you can probably tell. We really recommend dating your spouse. Why? It improves your relationship with your spouse! It's one of the 5 pillars of an amazing sexual relationship. If you're like me, you sometimes have no idea what to do during date night and end up doing the same things over and over. That's totally understandable. That's why we'll always have 'dating for couples' ideas for you--our readers! GetLusty for Couples' staff writer Crimson Love reports.
* * *
We gave you ideas on how to improve your dates. We thought it only fair if we gave you some fun date ideas to spice things up and keep it interesting. Let us present to you seven fun date ideas to try with your honey.
#1 Dance class
Dancing ups your endorphins and gets your blood pumping. No need to fret if you don't have rhythm. It's all for fun and you're not training to be a professional dancer. Take a Latin dance class, hip hop or even a ballroom dance class. In Chicago, Dance Center Chicago has different styles of drop-in classes Nov 28, Dec 5 and Dec 12. It will be an excuse to get close and physical with your lover. The best part is that whatever moves you learn, you can use later during a night out.
We'll have more ideas and recommendations for dancing classes for couples in Chicago soon!
#2 Sporting/workout date
Workout dates are great because not only are you encouraging each other to be healthy but you are also bonding. When planning this date pick physical activities that are couple friendly to start off with like, jogging, tennis or time in the gym.
For lunch you can pack a healthy picnic lunch for the both of you or go to a restaurant that is waistline friendly. After lunch do one more activity like yoga or meditation in order to relax together. When the day is done you can end it with some frisky business a la couple's shower (AKA at home). We have several ideas how to make shower sex less awkward. Aren't you a member of a gym, yet? Our favorite is LA Fitness, but that's because it's across the country and the rates are reasonable. Depending on your needs (are you looking for a fancier gym? spa facilities?), would affect your decision.
#3 Sexual fantasy
Have you tried a doctor fantasy? Or maybe a construction worker fantasy? For this, I recommend making an entire day out of it. On this day allow yourselves to play out some of your sexual fantasies together. Make a promise to each other to spend the entire day naked together (it's Naked November, why not?. This kind of day is not something to be taken lightly. It requires honesty, privacy, and a dedication to the intimate journey you and your lover will embark on. Also, check out our several articles on 50 Shades-inspired fantasies and even more fantasies ideas.
#4 Future fantasy
Future fantasy day is about playing out life fantasies you both share. For example, if you and your lover live together, take a day to look at houses together. After that, go to a paint/hardware store and look at paint colors. Then head to a furniture store and check out furniture, lighting fixtures and window treatments. Fantasize about what the next step of your lives together may be. I will caution you in saying that this isn't for everyone and if it's not, that is completely okay. Otherwise, you can always stick to sexual fantasies.
Don't be afraid to get silly and creative with your themed dates. Pick a theme like food or literature and plan an entire day (or however much time your schedule will allow) based on that theme. Maybe even your honeymoon? You could even dress in costume. Hello, costume party. When was the last time you got really silly, anyway? It's a fabulous time. You get to be someone else for the night.
If it's food, go to a restaurant you haven't tried before for lunch. Then enroll in a cooking class and use those new skills later on when you make dinner together. If it's literature, do a themed lunch based on a favorite book, then go to a book reading or read together in the park. For dinner, you could plan a dinner scene based on a romantic scene in a book. The possibilities for themed dates are endless and very fun.
Making sure that your dates don't get boring and stagnant can be very tricky. Take some of our ideas into consideration and get some of that spark back!

7 Tips to Creating a Better Love Letter
So you might be thinking, "Why do I need to know how or why to write a love letter?!" True. But if you don't need to know--how about the last time you actually wrote a love letter to your lover? It's a timeless tradition, and we think it needs a little attention. Why? Communication is key to a healthy marriage and relationship.
We have written extensively on communication before sex, integrating communication into sex, and communication post-sex. But what about the communication that doesn't need words. Do we even remember how to say "I love you" without our cell phones anymore? Lee Harrington, the man who inspired our non-violent communication series, is here with 7 ways to say "I love you" without using your cell phone to text it. Lee is a wonderful writer, and we love his perspective! Instead, Lee is bringing back the retro and seriously romantic, love letter as his go-to form of communication.
* * *
In our culture of text messages and fast food, we have forgotten much of the art of the love note. Rather than a card picked up at the grocery store to be given only on special occasions, love notes can take a thousand forms. Consider doing one of the following to remind your sweetie how special they are to you:
#1 Make it your own
With handmade paper or nice paper from art stores, there are plenty of ways to make it your own card. It gives it your signature creativity!
#2 Hand write the noteWrite your note by hand (unless your handwriting is abysmal, but then still sign it by hand). It's good practice to write by hand occasionally, and it's also fun to read hand writing!
#3 Hide it!
Hide the note in their briefcase or purse to find later by surprise. What a wonderful surprise to find a love note.
#4 Scent
Put a tiny dot of your cologne, perfume, or other favorite scent (bacon, your body, fresh herbs) on the paper, but don't overwhelm them with too much the scent.
#5 Color
Use a pen that is their favorite color. What better way to figure out their favorite color, if you aren't doubly sure. When they open it up and find their favorite color; they'll think it's even more adorable.
#6 Seal the note
Seal the note with wax or a sticker (by dripping candle wax--then you can even find a stamp at Michael's or similar arts & crafts store). Alternatively, seal the envelope then write over the seam/seal. Kiss the note with your lipstick as an additional cute gesture.
#7 Stock up on postcards
Keep a store of postcards and drop one in the mail every once in a while… even if they live with you.
Love notes can be a single word of power waiting on a pillow or a twenty page letter given to your partner before they head out on the road (for extra oomph, consider handing them 7 envelopes, with a date on each one for the 7 days they will be gone). The important part is the power of the paper in our hand, not the hard plastic cell phones we have become to accustomed to. Step back and breathe in the parchment, and know that they care, as much as you do about them.
Go forth, play with your passions, and enjoy!

28 Surprising Benefits of Being a Loving Couple
* * *
#2 Always having someone to see a movie with. Not to say that convenience is a benefit, but if you've found the right one, then you have a best friend who is there to share all your cinematic adventures with.
#3 Seeing the smile on your partners face when you bring them breakfast in bed. From childhood we humans have this obsessive urge to please the ones we love. We behaved this way with our parents, aunts, and grandparents. Now that we're all grown up, we want to carry this convention forward with our relationships. It gives us a sense of accomplishment, and reminds us of how loved we are.#5 Being able to test your robot dance out on a captive audience. Many of us have a hard time being ourselves out in public. Some of us even dread the idea of co-worker or family member seeing how we act at home, when we're all alone. When you have that special someone in your life, you have a person who loves every silly, bizarre thing you do, and you'll love performing for them.
#6 Having someone to hold onto while you watch "The Exorcist" for the fourth time. It's not just a benefit for the ladies. No matter what your man tells you, he gets scared too, and having someone there provides a huge sense of safety. Having someone who makes you feel safe carries over to larger issues in life - not just spooky movies.
#7 Taking showers together. With your partner there for every aspect of your life, those once ordinary day-to-day tasks suddenly become potential erotic adventures.
#10 Feeding each other chocolate covered strawberries. Everyone loves being pampered. Whether it's sharing fruit, or a massage. You'll always have someone there to spoil you.
#11 No more depressing masturbation! We know, there will always be masturbation, no matter how often you and your partner have sex. After discovering that intense connection we call love with someone, the sexual experience ascends to something greater than just satisfying that itch in your pants.
#12 Taking vacations together. The majority of us are not loners. Deep down in our core, we crave friendship and community. When it comes to traveling, most of us are intimidated by the thought of going at it alone, so having that loved one next to you seems to arouse the explorer in us.
#13 Perpetual encouragement. Even the best of us lose a little self-esteem from time to time. It's an amazing thing to always have someone there to help rebuild your fortitude.
#15 Your ass will always look great in that outfit. As we've noted before, confidence is a huge issue with us humans. We are constantly worried about how others see us, and we're even a little superficial at times. Your girlfriend or boyfriend always wants to be the hottest person you know, and you always will be, because you really are the hottest person in the world to them.
#17 Relaxing in the tub together. Everyone loves a bubble bath! Having someone's slippery, naked body rubbing against yours turns that tranquil time in the tub into a romantic, and erotic engagement.
#18 Holding hands (duh!). Intimacy is incredibly fulfilling, whether it's spooning in bed, or just walking down the street, hand-in-hand. Maybe we get it from childhood, the safety and comfort of having someone hold your hand while crossing the street or wandering through a busy public space. What ever the reason, we all love doing it.
#19 Having a road-trip partner. Before you found the love of your life, you had to ask around to find a friend who would take a trip with you. Sometimes that can be hard. Sometimes nobody wants to be stuck in a car with you for several hours at a time. A couple never has this issue. You're already spending every day together, so it might as well be spent in a car. There's not much better than exploring the open road with someone who laughs at all your bad jokes.
#20 Having someone to split a Twix with. We're not saying you should be in a relationship just so you don't waste food, but the sharing aspect is very important. You're sharing food, experiences, thoughts - everything you love, everything you hate. You can think of it as "becoming one" with each other, or you could also see it as one person becoming twice as awesome.
#24 Having someone who will listen to you complain about your parents. After a while you'll notice that some of your friends don't make the best listeners, and your siblings can be a little critical, especially if you're the younger one. A couple always has someone to hear their problems, without judgement.
#25 Negotiating foot massages and back rubs. Single people need to pay people for this kind of thing. Other than the financial benefit, it can be really fun bartering for things with loving displays of affection.
#26 Realizing that even when you fight, you still love each other. You'll notice that singles don't fight. They can always just walk away from an argument, but not couples. They love and care for one another. The argument is important.
#28 Knowing how lucky you are. This might not sound like an extremely important benefit right away, but try to remember the last time you felt this way. Happy couples are so damn happy because of little things like this. You'll see them around sometimes, walking tall, a modest smile on their face.

Then, there are even more Pumpkin Patches near Chicago! Really want to bring the kids? Several are more geared towards children, so do a bit of research before you come without your panties on.
#2 Pumpkin carving
So you just arrived home after a visit to the Pumpkin Patch. Now what? After your pumpkin patch visit, bring them home and decide what carving designs you can do together. There are numerous Halloween options, or there are also options for Thanksgiving, too! It might seem a bit cheesy, but it's going to be a fun activity you can work on together.
#3 Get cooking
Don't throw your extra Pumpkin away! Using an additional pumpkin, (or the insides of the carved pumpkins) cook seeds, make Pumpkin salsa, Pumpkin fritters, Pumpkin pie. You can make just about anything with a raw or cooked Pumpkin. Fall is the time to enjoy Pumpkin in all kinds of dishes. Check out more recipe ideas for Pumpkin!

Fall recipes are back, utilizing seasonal foods for you to whip up in a hurry or simmering over an entire day. Get some ideas for new hot dinner and lunches. Coming back from a cold day out is made better by a fall soup to heat you up.
It's that time again. Apple picking is in order! We've talked about it before. You two should get out there and pick some crisp, juicy apples! Find a Chicago orchard and pick apples for cider, baking, or dip! Check out some apple recipes from the Food Network! Can you say, Yummy!?
#5 Walks in parks
The leaves are changing colors, the weather is refreshing and sunny. Nothing says fall like the colors. Enjoy the sights and smells on a leisurely walk through your neighborhood park.
#6 Get outta' town
There are so many beautiful areas across the country. Just outside your city are a host of quaint little towns. Haven't seen the foliage outside of your city? You might be amazed by a natural setting outside of your home town. Visiting National Park isn't just for the summer. Enjoy a leisure drive in a rural setting on the way there.
Sometimes going somewhere new can be exhilarating. Find a cute restaurant or coffee shop with some sort of specialty and give it a try!
#7 Look for local fall parades and farmers' marketsFarmers' Markets are a wonderful way to connect with seasonal, local, and organic ingredients grown near your own back yard. For our fellow Chicagoans, check out the schedule for Chicago Farmers' Markets. You probably have a budding farmers' market system in your city that you never knew about!
#8 Dress in warm clothing, turn the heat down, and have a picnic indoors
For those not interested in leaving or wanting a more intricate picnic menu, stay indoors. Put the couch pillows on the floor with a blanket over them, open the windows, dress warm and enjoy the easy access to your bedroom.
#9 Paint
When was the last time you both created something together? How about painting a new room? Or how about painting a design on your wall? When you create new things together, you'll use team work to make your furnishings a little brighter. Go on. It'll be fun!
#10 Try a cinnamon scented moisturizer or soap to inspire sweet smells and touches
Does your apartment smell like dirty socks? It happens. How about smelling like Cinnamon sticks instead? Getting a little something new to change up your scent is surprisingly noticeable. You're used to a certain smell. Switching this up can make a big difference. You can also go for a different cologne or perfume--that'll make a big difference, too! Just check-in with your partner to make sure they like it.
#11 Go on a picnic
It isn't winter yet so take this opportunity to venture outdoors! This would be a great time to bring all your wonderful fall recipes to one nice experience. Take a look at some perfect picnic meals here. Go here for a more vegetarian picnic.
#12 Have Fall-themed potluck with other happy couples
Enjoying your time with other happy couples can make you realize the beauty of being married/coupled. Others are in love and that sparks your own interest. How about a potluck? Invite several other couples you know to a Fall-themed potluck!
#13 Watch ‘When Harry Met Sally’
The orgasm scene? When they met? How the story plays out? It gets me teary every time I think about it. Come now, gents. When was the last time you watched a romantic movie together? Bring on the popcorn, this one is going to be cute! When Harry Met Sally is the perfect fall romance movie.
#14 Think of Halloween costumes you would only wear for each other
Of course GetLusty has ideas for sexy Halloween costumes! Are you a thrift shopper? Maybe you love retail? Fall is the ideal time to get some sexy, crazy outfits. Costume shopping can be even more fun when you are buying something that's for your partner's eyes only.
#15 Work out together
At GetLusty for Couples, we believe health is one of the key pillars of an amazing sexual relationship. Exercise can be a wonderful activity to do together. You're both feeling fit, active, and happy. Of course we have workout ideas.
#16 Naked board game night
Twister, anyone? Pick out your favorite game and make them a little more risqué. Make the stakes higher. For whoever wins, the sexy reward could involve cunnilingus, nipple play, or anything else sexy. Ever consider sexy monopoly? Oh, yeah.
#17 Watch a romantic movie
No clothes. No problem. Cuddle and revel in the adorable plots of a Fall-centered romantic comedy -- even if they're from 2004. "Last of the Mohicans"? OK, so it's a little bit of a tear-jerker. But cuddling naked could also lead to other fun times.
#18 Play out the scene to a movie
There is nothing quite like holding onto your partner while playing out a scene from The Lord of the Rings! Is there a scene from a movie that you both know so well, you re-live it in your heads? Now how about naked? Being nude just makes everything more fun!
#19 Dance party!Dance parties aren't just for Jersey Shore. This isn't the time to lower your heat. Get your own indoor dance party. Naked! You might even break a sweat. How about a quick shower after that dance party? Who hates showers with your lover? Thought so.
#20 Add something to your bed
Get a new set of sheets. This will make your abode feel even warmer and make it even harder to leave. Take Sunday morning cuddles to the next level with satin sheets. Don't tell me that won't feel luxurious and wonderful when you're naked!
#21 Enjoy morning coffee togetherWake up earlier, cuddle, drink coffee and have some sort of pastry, if possible. Coffee in the nude is so much fun! You could also pick up a variety of creamers (Pumpkin spice? Eggnog latte?) and enjoy a little cream! Be sure to let your coffee cool down first. We don't want anyone getting burned.
#22 Write a story together
Not just a story. Something creative. Do either of you paint? Write? Draw? Sit down together and share your passions. If you prefer to not be physically involved with another medium, read something you enjoy and lay together. Being creative while naked can take things to a different level.
#23 Bath timeWhen it's extra chilly, give your body some love with a bath or shower. Get clean, whip away the negative emotions from your body, and talk positively. How beautiful you are! How wonderful your partner is!
#24 Have a cider date
Want to have a sweet and alcoholic date? Try different types of cider! Get several different flavors and brands to find out your favorite. They go very well with fall foods as well.
Enjoy being together and enjoy Fall!
