Dirty Weekend

Dirty weekends can invigorate your sex life – the erotic afterglow stays with you for days, plus you’ll feel fantastically naughty, and deeply connected with your lover. Perhaps the best part is that you’ve got rid of everyday distractions – so you can shed your inhibitions and try those sexy acts you’ve fantasized about.

BEFORE YOU GO

I try to take as little as possible with me when we go away for a dirty weekend – I tend to stick to only sensual or sexy items. Include any of these in your weekend bag: thongs, stockings, basque, blindfold, massage oil, feathers, condoms, silk bathrobe, sexy dress, erotic novel, perfume, candles, iPod loaded with sexy music. Men love surprises that cater specifically to their sexual tastes. For example, if blowjobs are your lover's thing, he will be really delighted if you pull out some edible lube from your suitcase and offer to apply it for him.

DAY 1

When you arrive go straight to bed. Plan to get frisky in various places: up against the door, in the shower, in an armchair, in front of a window or a mirror, and on the balcony or in the pool.

Treat everything that happens from now on as foreplay – even if you have a shower, make it slow, luxurious and steeped in eroticism. Discover each other’s naked bodies beneath or on top of the sheets. Taste each other’s lips. Tour his body with your tongue. Give each other a long full-body massage and lingering kisses. When you couldn’t be any more aroused, take it in turns to ask each other for sexual favours. When it’s your turn, describe what you want in lascivious detail. Make this erotic turn-taking the theme for the whole day. Include it in everything you do, even the things that aren’t explicitly sexual, for example, “I’d like you to feed me dinner”. Wait until night-time to have explosive sex that leaves you totally exhausted in each other’s arms.

DAY 2

Today try things you’ve never tried before. Create some red-hot memories. Here are some ideas to inspire you:

• Render him completely helpless by blindfolding him in a dark room and binding his wrists and ankles. Put earphones into his ears and play him some sexy music. Now “torture” him with sexual treats.

• Explore the fetish world of “WAM” (wet and messy). Cover the floor with sheets or towels and wrestle, wriggle and writhe together while covered in a slick, wet, slippery substance such as oil, cream, body lotion or honey.

• Try body painting – it’s a sexy way to become intimate with your lover’s body and him with yours.

• Take advantage of the fact that you’re in a hotel room – dress up as a kinky chambermaid and treat him to a teasing roleplay. Address him only as “sir”.

• Take it in turns to give each other a genital massage for at least 20 minutes. When it’s your turn to massage him, use long, sweeping, exploratory strokes that don’t lead him straight to orgasm.

• Try disappearing from the hotel room for long enough to make your lover concerned, then send him a text telling him to come to the hotel bar. Throw yourselves into a strangers-meeting-for-the-first-time roleplay.
