Once the last few Christmas chocolates have been scoffed and the last of the NYE's Champagne corks have been popped, many find themselves making a series of New Year's resolutions. More often than not, these resolutions involve lifestyle changes like healthy eating, going to the gym, and generally doing less of the enjoyable things in life. Few stick to these promises past January; ourselves included. 

This got us thinking. How about making some resolutions this year that we all actually want to keep, and best of all, enjoy keeping them? 

We're not promising to eat healthier, nor are we likely to go to the gym more often or cut down on the indecent amount of Prosecco we drink in any one year,  but what we solemnly swear to do for ourselves in 2019 is increase our orgasm quota! 

Sounds good?

Here's the plan:

Love My Body

One New Year’s resolution we hope everyone is going to work hard to keep is learning to love the bodies we are in. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and embracing the uniqueness of yours should be top of the list of things to achieve in 2019.

Not only accepting but also loving, every bump and curve will build body confidence that'll have you power-walking into the bedroom before stretching out on the bed, stark naked in broad daylight. Before you know it, you might even take a little peek at your lusciousness in the mirror - which incidentally is a fun way of indulging in a bit of me-time...

Every time the inner voice gets in the way, let's endeavor to quieten it, or even better - teach it to celebrate all that is you!

More ‘Me’ Time

With work, friends, families and all of the other stuff that stops us treating ourselves as a priority, it's can be hard to find the time to make ourselves feel good. Of course, me-time means different things to different people, but in this instance, we're talking about polishing the pearl. Jerking the Johnson. Wanking.

Spending hours and hours enjoying sexy time with partners is fantastic, but sometimes it's really nice to not have to focus on someone else's pleasure. Taking the time to just think about yourself and do things as slowly or as hard as you like, is pretty damn fantastic too.

Masturbation reduces stress levels and helps us discover more about our own bodies; it's the best way of learning what brings us immense amounts of pleasure. 

For 2019, let's all agree to make our own satisfaction a priority by whipping out favourite toys and lube whenever the opportunity arises. 

Be More Honest with Myself and My Sex Partner/s

Being more honest with ourselves and our partners/lovers/friends-with-benefits should be on every list of new year's resolutions.

We're probably all a bit guilty of not speaking up when something doesn't feel great, just as we don't like admitting to ourselves that we get intensely turned on when fantasizing about scenarios that aren't quite pc. 

By being more open and honest about what works for us sexually, we stand to get the most out of intimate encounters. Sometimes, this means taking time to reflect on past sexual experiences and working out what was so hot that particular time. Sharing these thoughts with partners - and asking them to do the same - creates intimacy and a new openness. Discussing desires openly can only work to make sex better! 

This year, let's work out what turns us on the most and then share the findings with significant others, who might just be open to reciprocating...

Try New Things 

Opening ourselves up to new experiences is one of the best things about life, but you don't need to go further than your bedroom door to try new things. 

Depending on your experiences to date, trying something new can be as soft and luxurious as allowing a partner to massage your skin with sumptuous oil, or as dominant and intense as donning a strap-on and hopping onboard for a pegging session.

This year, why not push your erotic boundaries a little bit further by trying something that seems a little wild or naughty? Food play is messy but so much fun, giving or receiving a spanking is an excellent release after a long day, and anal play can be downright delicious when you take the time to savour each stroke...

2019 is the year for saying 'YES' to new adventures!

We wish you all a happy & healthy sex life all the way through 2019 xx
