So we are going away next weekend...

[femalevictormeldrew]

... just for a night. We have been a bit ahem lacking in the bedroom department. Have been under a bit of stress as a couple with "stuff" - DH has been busy doing work on our house, money issues etc. Now we would not be what you would call an adventurous couple so not into swinging out of the curtains or anything like that. But can anyone give me any ideas how to make our night away a bit special, I guess nice underwear would be a start? I would be quite shy so don't think I'd ever have the guts to do a striptease or anything like that - my toes are curling at the thoughts!

Any suggestions?

Nice undies, a bit of lady gardening. Expensive bottle of bubble bath so you can bathe together. Champers perhaps and a couple of glasses?

If you are both romantic types, you can buy a pack of rose petals along with candles , lovehoney and other places do them - candle light is very forgiving if you are a bit shy about your body.

Underwear definitely gives you confidence, doesn't have to be slutty, a simple chemise is classy and sexy and you can wear anything you fancy underneath, it depends if your DH is a thong fan or a retro frilly knicker fan.

I saw a nice lacey/sheer basque set on la redoute the other day - www.laredoute.co.uk/basque-and-thong-set.htm?ProductId=324172288&t=6

at £20 it's a bargain.

And lube, definitely, makes things far more fun.

I am doing the same and have just bought the board game monogamy, sounds good and you can keep it as tame as you like apparently-good luck!!

Agree with everything so far. Would like to add that my DP gets more turned on if I'm wearing something revealing so's he can catch glimpses of my boobs or my "bits" (eg if I'm wearing a pair of lace satin shorties) rather than being totally naked. Also an erotic DVD can help (and I don't mean porn which personally does nothing for me). Have a great weekend!!
