Stress-busting Christmas sex tips!

Making time for some Christmas sex is a great way to stay connected as a couple – and get a break from the stress of holiday planning.

The holiday season is all about joy, connection, and celebrating love with the people closest to us. While much of the focus is on family gatherings, gift exchanges, and festive feasts, there’s no reason why the season of giving can’t extend to your bedroom as well! With a little creativity and the right mindset, you can make your Christmas sex life as magical as the season itself. Here’s how to bring a little ho-ho-ho into your love life this holiday season. 

1. Set the Mood with a Festive Atmosphere 

Creating the right ambiance can transform your bedroom into a wonderland of romance. Think soft lighting or candles, and incorporate festive scented candles (pine, cinnamon, or vanilla), or even some strategically placed mistletoe. 

If you’re feeling adventurous, try a sexy advent set or a couples gift pack. Try setting the stage with Christmas-themed lingerie or naughty Santa outfits. The key is to make the environment feel cozy, intimate, and just a little bit cheeky. 

2. Make Time Amidst the Chaos 

The holidays can be overwhelming, with endless to-do lists and social obligations. To truly enjoy intimate moments with your partner or yourself, prioritize alone time. Schedule a date night or a quiet evening at home where you can focus on each other without distractions.

If you have kids or houseguests, plan ahead for uninterrupted time. Whether it’s booking a babysitter or sneaking in some quality time during the hustle, making space for intimacy is crucial.

3. Exchange Naughty Gifts

Christmas is the perfect excuse to indulge in a little gift-giving fun. Surprise your partner with a sensual gift to spice up your time together. Some ideas include: 

  • Massage oils or candles: Give each other a relaxing (or steamy) massage to melt away holiday stress. 
  • Couples toys: Explore new sensations with products designed to enhance your pleasure. 
  • Love coupons: Create a custom booklet offering sensual massages, date nights, or intimate surprises. 

The act of unwrapping these thoughtful gifts can be as exciting as the gifts themselves. 

4. Experiment with New Positions and Ideas 

Christmas is a time for surprises, so why not bring that spirit into your sex life? Try something new to keep things fresh and exciting: 

The idea is to approach intimacy with an open mind and a sense of fun. 

5. Embrace the Spirit of Giving 

The holidays are about generosity, and that can extend to the bedroom. Focus on your partner’s desires and make their pleasure your top priority. Whether it’s through acts of service or thoughtful touches, showing your love through intimacy can deepen your connection. 

Similarly, communicate your own desires. The best experiences come from mutual understanding and a willingness to fulfill each other’s fantasies. 

6. Rekindle Emotional Intimacy 

Amazing sex starts with a strong emotional connection. Take time to reflect on your relationship and express gratitude for one another. A heartfelt conversation over a glass of wine or a cozy cuddle session whilst reading some erotic fiction together, can be the foundation for a night of deeper intimacy. 

Sharing your love and appreciation creates a sense of closeness that can enhance your physical connection. 

7. Use the Festive Break to Explore Daytime Intimacy 

With time off work and fewer obligations, Christmas provides a rare opportunity to indulge in midday intimacy. There’s something thrilling about breaking from the usual routine to connect with your partner when the sun is shining. 

Plan a luxurious morning in bed or turn an afternoon into a sensual escape. The break from the ordinary can make these moments feel even more special. 

8. Games and Role-Playing 

Bring a little humour and creativity into your love life with Christmas-themed role-playing. From “Naughty Elf and Santa” to “Snowed-In Lovers,” tapping into festive scenarios can add a touch of fun to your bedroom adventures. Use games to initiate what happens. 

Remember, the goal is to enjoy yourselves, so embrace the silliness and let go of any self-consciousness. 

9. Take Care of Yourselves 

Holiday indulgence can leave you feeling tired and sluggish, which isn’t ideal for amazing Christmas sex. Stay energized and ready for intimacy by taking care of your body and mind: 

  • Stay hydrated and eat well-balanced meals amidst the holiday treats. 
  • Get enough sleep to keep stress and fatigue at bay. 
  • Exercise to boost your mood and libido and or consider using supplements. 

When you feel good physically and mentally, you’re more likely to enjoy intimacy. 

10. Don’t Forget About Aftercare

Aftercare is important after any sex, not just Christmas sex. While you may be tempted to jump up afterward and get back to your busy schedule, take the time to relax together and come back to earth with each other. It’ll make next time even better, we promise.

Aftercare isn’t just for BDSM scenes—it’s an important part of any intimate encounter. After your special moments, take time to cuddle, talk, or simply relax together. Sharing a laugh or post-coital snuggling, under a blanket or in the spa late at night under the stars can make the experience feel even more meaningful. 

If you’ve experimented with something new or adventurous, check in with your partner to ensure they felt comfortable and loved throughout. 

11. Celebrate the Season Together 

Amazing Christmas sex isn’t just about the physical act—it’s about celebrating your connection and love during a magical time of year. Remember to laugh, play, and enjoy the festive spirit together. Whether it’s through a shared bubble bath, a romantic dinner, or an intimate dance under the mistletoe, the best moments come from genuine connection and joy. 

The Takeaway 

Christmas is the perfect opportunity to prioritize intimacy and deepen your connection with your partner. By setting the mood, being playful, and embracing the spirit of giving, you can create unforgettable moments together. Most importantly, approach the season with love, gratitude, and a willingness to celebrate each other—both in and out of the bedroom. 

So, this Christmas, unwrap each other’s desires, embrace the magic of the season, and let your love shine as brightly as the twinkling lights. Here’s to a holiday filled with laughter, passion, and amazing Christmas sex!
