Things to keep in mind when getting intimate on a holiday

It’s summer holiday season and whether you’re headed to the beach or mountains, it’s also when you’re most likely to be relaxed and intimate with your spouse or girlfriend. Studies show that more than 50 per cent of people enjoy having sex with their partner during a vacation, rather than at home. Explore new experiences, but keep these pointers in mind:

Pack your sex toys sensibly.

Remember, always in your check-in luggage, not your carry-on. Choose the more compact ones and if they are battery-operated, remove the batteries so they don’t end up buzzing at the wrong time and drawing attention. It’s okay being adventurous but best avoid the handcuffs and the restraints if you’re taking a flight, just in case you put them in the wrong bag and they show up in security.

Relationship experts say that it’s almost guaranteed to put you in a ridiculously good mood and also leave you stimulated. Also, putting on sunblock can turn into an erotic exercise. But while it’s a great idea to sip on Sex On The Beach cocktails, it’s better to avoid the act itself on the beach – sand does somewhat put off a sensual experience.

Remember to put up a ‘Do not disturb’ sign on your room door.

You don’t want housekeeping’s cheerful announcements ruining the mood. But most of all, carry protection, lubricants or whatever else. The last thing you need is to hunt for a chemist or a sex store in a strange city. Talk about buzz kill.
