Sometimes, it’s good to go back to the basics. Couples tend to get bored with their sexual routine, as it often becomes stale and predictable. This doesn’t mean you have to pull out the whips and chains to spice things up (unless you really want to, of course). Introducing something as simple as a blindfold will make your sex life a little more exciting and interesting. As a sex toy, it does very little when compared with your favourite vibrator or anal beads, but they do offer an erotic sexual enhancement that will really turn up the heat in the bedroom.
When introducing something new to the bedroom, there’s not always a need to go out and purchase something special for the occasion. This is especially true for blindfolds, you can find things around the house that will work just as well – scarves, stockings, and handkerchiefs all work well.
First, Some Facts
Recent research has concluded that most men get turned on by what they see, which is why the percentage of men who enjoy voyeurism is almost three times more than that of women. On the other hand, women are most aroused by sensual touch. It’s the feeling of intimacy that gets women in the mood – a massage, gentle all over caressing, and the feeling of silk on the skin are just some examples. Introducing a blindfold to the bedroom is often a win-win situation. He gets to see her in all her glory, and her senses are heightened, allowing her to focus on being intimately touched.
Blindfolds and Foreplay
Foreplay and being blindfolded is a winning combination. An easy way to start is by blindfolding your partner and giving her a slow, sensual, all over massage. Opt for a scented body lotion or oil to stimulate her sense of smell – vanilla, lavender, and coconut are said to be erotic scents. Use different textures and pay attention to the textures and areas that having moaning with delight. Feathers, silk scarves, leather….experimenting is part of the fun!
Blindfolds and Food
It’s not just one’s sense of touch that is heightened with the use of a blindfold. This is a great way of introducing new ideas to a partner who has reservations about stepping outside of the regular love-making routine. The use of blindfolds doesn’t have to be sexual – you can start by blindfolding her in the kitchen/living room and surprising each other’s taste buds with sexy treats – strawberries, honey, and chocolate are all fun and relatively mess-free. Once they are comfortable with being blindfolded, and you have built up a level of trust, suggest taking the fun to the bedroom. You can incorporate food into the foreplay and see where the fun takes you both.
Blindfolds in the Bedroom
Anything that you usually do in the bedroom will feel different when blindfolded. Start by undressing her slowly, kissing her neck and caressing her face, breasts, genitals, arms, hands. Experiment with different pressures, and don’t be afraid to ask her to verbally guide you on what feels great for her. Tease your partner by pausing and making he literally beg for you to touch her again. This can be an extremely intimate and intense form of foreplay, without sight her senses and anticipation is heightened.
Just because she’s wearing the blindfold, doesn’t mean she has to be the passive partner. Why not try something a little different and let her explore your body, tracing the lines of your body with her lips and tasting the flavour of your skin. This allows her to focus on all her other senses, and it’ll feel pretty amazing for you too! Perhaps you can switch roles and let her blindfold you? Although men generally prefer to see, when you can’t see what she is doing, the feel of her caressing, liking and kissing your skin can be mind-blowing. And if you think oral sex is good when you can see what your girl’s doing, imagine how much better it’ll be when you can’t see a thing. The anticipation will drive you crazy.
A simple blindfold can result in an amazing level of arousal. So the next time you are looking to get a little kinky in the bedroom, reach for that tie or scarf and enjoy!
