Getting It On When You’re Home for the Holidays

You might be heading to your parent’s house for the holidays, or your in-laws (who I hope you love rather than loathe). Either way, there will surely be conversation, stories, and yearly recaps—some of which may create awkward moments. Or perhaps, painful small talk with family you only see once a year. That said, Going home for the holidays with your partner has the potential to put a real damper on your sex life. Unless…

If you want to spice up something other than the latkes or eggnog—get it on by following these tips!

Wear Easy-Access Clothing

One of the best parts of the holidays is having time to lounge around the house. Wearing your pajamas or a pair of sweatpants (unless the occasion calls for something more formal) will make it easy for you to strip down if the mood strikes. If you have to get dressed up, a dress or high skirt can do the trick to easily get in and out, so to speak. And will also drive your partner crazy with some sexy visual stimulation. With the help of their zipper, guys are mostly set.

Have Everything You Need

Now that you planned your outfit and the location, prepare. If knowing grandma—sitting downstair—will throw either of you off your game, make sure to have an intimacy kit handy. Bring some lube to keep the in-and-out juicy, and if needed—he can help his candy cane with medication that can offer an assist when things get hot and heavy. It’s also wise to have some paper towels around to clean up in case things get messy. Doing a little prep work ahead of time will help you keep the mood and focus on the moment.

Get Creative

Dropping everything and getting to it during dinner, or on the couch watching a movie as a family probably aren’t viable options. Consider times when your family is most active and you can slip away unnoticed. Postpone when it’s just a little too quiet and your not being present will be questioned. Scout out the scene so you know the rooms people spend a lot of time and where they don’t. This may mean sneaking into the closet or the bathroom having sex in a standing position, or even a chilly quickie on the hood of the car in the garage, so give it a try. It may not be ideal, but it will let you find some privacy, freedom from the family and bonding time so you’re not bored.

Just because you’re surrounded by family doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get it on. After all, one of the best presents and way to start the New Year is pleasuring each other!
