5 free ways to gift pleasure
There are endless free ways to give and gift pleasure during the holidays—and beyond.
By now, you may have gotten your partner(s), friends or yourself an exhilarating new sex toy or the self-care gift they deserve. Or maybe the holidays crept up on you and you don’t exactly have the extra cash lying around for the perfect present for your sex-positive boo. Don’t fret! It’s the season of giving, and there are endless cost-free ways to gift pleasure this time of year—and always. Here are some free, sexy holiday gift ideas.
Give them a massage.
A sensuous massage is the perfect holiday gift. It’s relaxing, sexy and has a variety of health benefits. Whether you want to help them wind down, get in the mood or playfully connect, kneading out knots with your slippery bare hands can do the trick.
Here’s how: First, set the mood by burning a yummy-scented candle, playing gentle music or water sounds, laying out a soft blanket on the floor alongside your Luxe Massage Oil and turning the lights down low. Then invite your partner to the room, lie them on the blanket face-down, place a couple pumps of oil on your hands and start the rubdown. Note: to give the perfect massage, move seamlessly up and down the body and avoid boney or hairy areas.
Read them a naughty bedtime story.
There are few things more engrossing than reading erotic literature. But it's not just arousing; it has also been proven to have health benefits, like shifting stress or anxiety into positive emotions. There are so many erotic books available, but if you’re feeling creative, write your own erotica and consider inserting you and your partner(s) as characters in the story. When you’re done, deliver the gift by reading it to them, in-person or over the phone if you’re in an LDR or social distancing.
Live out their fantasy.
Whether you have filled out Bloomi’s Yes, No, Maybe list together or regularly schedule intimacy chats, you may know your partner(s)’s sexiest fantasy and have been waiting for the moment to make it a reality. This could be that season. From sexual fetishes and food play to threesomes and role play, we’ve created multiple guides to help you plan and execute the whole thing.
Make your own DIY love coupons.
Maybe you don’t know your partner(s)’s sexual fantasies or you do but don’t have enough time or money to execute it the way you’d like, get creative. Creating your own personalized DIY love coupons isn’t just fun arts and crafts; it’s also a way for you to name some sexy activities that are totally on the table for you and treat partner(s) to sexual experiences they love or are curious about. Here are some voucher ideas you might want to include: anal sex, a quickie, threesome, public sex, temperature play, spanking and/or dirty talk.
Give great head.
‘Tis the season of giving, and one of the best ways to gift pleasure is through good ol’ oral sex. While people with vaginas are more likely to orgasm with oral sex than penetrative sex, they're also less likely to experience the pleasure of cunnilingus. The reasons why are myriad: Some people experience shame around asking someone to go down on them, while others have poor giver-receiver communication and the head ends up being just bleh.
Regardless, it's a hurdle that's typically really easy to overcome. When going down on your partner, regardless of their gender or sexual anatomy, ask questions and encourage them to let you know what feels good and what they want (they might be interested in exploring rimming). Make the experience even more exhilarating with Bloomi's Luxe Arousal Oil and/or a sex toy.
