Valentine’s Day: Let’s Level Up Your Connection, Babe!
All right, so Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Whether you’re a fan of the chocolate-and-roses routine or you think it’s a bit of a Hallmark gimmick, I have a secret for y’all: it’s the perfect excuse to slow down and focus on your pleasure.
At Pure Pleasure Shop, we believe all consensual sex is good sex. But if you’re looking to add a little extra sparkle to your "toolkit" this year, here are a few ways to deepen that connection with your partner—without the pressure or shame.
1. Make Your Own Rules
First things first: forget what the movies tell you Valentine’s Day "should" look like. If you want to order pizza in your favorite worn-out tee-shirt and spend three hours exploring each other’s bodies, do it. The most empowering thing you can do is make your own rules for how you celebrate.
2. Communication is the Ultimate Foreplay
I know, I know—talking about "butt stuff" or new fantasies can feel a little vulnerable at first. But honestly? Vulnerability is the hottest thing you can bring to the bedroom.
Try This: Grab a glass of wine and ask each other: "What’s one thing we haven’t tried that you’re curious about?"
Pro-Tip: Remember, you can change your mind anytime. Consent isn't a one-time "yes"—it's an ongoing conversation that makes everything feel safer and way more fun.
3. Add a "Cherry on Top" to Your Toolkit
If you’ve been sticking to the same routine for the last five million years, why not introduce a new guest to the party? Whether it’s a high-quality lube that makes everything slide a little easier or a vibrating toy designed for couples, adding a new tool to your kit can spark some seriously playful energy.
4. Normalize the "Awkward" Stuff
Look, sex isn’t always a high-glamour performance—it’s not the fucking Olympics! Sometimes there are weird noises, sometimes you lose your rhythm, and sometimes things just don't go as planned. At PPS, we’re all about shame-free pleasure. If something feels clunky, laugh about it! Self-deprecating humor and a bit of "sex-nerd" curiosity are the best ways to keep the mood light and inclusive.
No Judgment, Just Love
At the end of the night, Valentine’s Day is just about celebrating the sexual well-being you share with your person (or people!). Whether you're trying something brand new or sticking to your favorite classics, do it with enthusiasm and an open heart.
