Q:
My girlfriend and I have been discussing how our sex life (although very healthy and really pleasurable) has become a little bit boring for us. We are a little stuck trying to figure out some options to make our wonderfully vanilla lesbian sex lives a little bit kinkier without breaking the bank. Any recommendations?
A:
You’re in luck — kinky sex requires nothing but two (or more) bodies and a little imagination. Try these techniques on their own or in combination for a free sexual adventure.
+ Change locations: Do you and your girlfriend usually have sex in a bed? Try having sex on the floor, in the shower, against the wall or on the kitchen counter. A simple change in scenery can make sex a lot more exhilarating.
+ Dirty Talk: There’s a simple formula for dirty talk — say what you’re about to do (“I can’t wait to run my tongue over your nipples”), say what you’re doing (“You feel so good under my fingers”) or say what you just did (“Did you like it when I teased you with my mouth?”). If you’re the creative type, share an erotic fantasy while you’re having sex. Ask your girlfriend to tell you what she thinks about when she masturbates. Fantasize together about literally anything and take it as far as you can go. Maybe you’re fucking in the rain on a mossy forest floor. Maybe you’re making out on the moon while a bunch of aliens who look exactly like Tilda Swinton watch. Whatever makes y’all hot.
+ Spanking: Use your hand or take the sting up a notch with a hairbrush or a wooden spoon. Make sure you study up on spanking safety first.
+ Blindfolding: I bet you already own a bandana or a sleep mask. Taking away your sight enhances the rest of your senses, which helps some folks stay more present in their bodies during sex.
+ Bondage: You don’t need flashy leather handcuffs to enjoy bondage. You can tie wrists or ankles together or to a bed frame with bandanas or scarves. We don’t always know how our bodies or minds will respond to being physically restrained, so make sure that you and your sweetie establish a safe word first. Take bondage to the next level by investing in some rope and learning basic Shibari.
+ Porn: Try watching some ethically produced queer porn together and get those creative juices flowing. The Crash Pad Series is a great place to start. If you’re not into buying a porn subscription, turn on your smart phone and make your own.
