A New Way to Foreplay - A list of couples' classes to get you closer
Let's talk about foreplay. Depending on who you speak with, they'll tell you how important (or not so important) foreplay is for them. For most women, it increases blood flow to the genital area, leading to lubrication, which is essential for comfortable and pleasurable intercourse. For most men, foreplay helps in achieving and maintaining an erection. Although some folks place less importance on the acts before sex, the physiological changes that occur during foreplay, such as increased heart rate and sensitivity, make the body more receptive to sexual stimulation and enhance overall pleasure. No matter where you land on that spectrum of its importance, there's no denying that implementing foreplay into sex can spice up your sex life and increase sexual satisfaction.
Typically, foreplay encompasses any act before sex, including flirting, kissing, touching, even an intimate date. One way to connect with your partner that might push you both out of the norm, is to plan a date where the both of you can connect Naturally, because we are all unique, everyone has different turn-ons, and therefore, we've come up with a few different date ideas you and your partner can explore based on how you both act as a couple.
For the active couple: Yoga
If you're a couple that doesn't mind getting a little sweaty (outside the bedroom), try signing up for a couple's yoga class. Imagine the gentle touches, the shared laughter when a pose doesn't quite go as planned, and the satisfaction of achieving a perfect stretch together. It's an ideal way to build anticipation and intimacy outside the bedroom. The combination of deep breathing, physical closeness, and mutual support builds a sense of unity and calm, setting a tender and intimate mood.
For the couple that needs to de-stress: Massage Class
If you and your partner have felt more tense than usual, a massage class might be the perfect date activity. While it's the most direct and literal form of foreplay on this list, a massage class is a great way to learn new things about your partner including their pressure points and where to relieve stress in their body. Beyond the technical skills, massage is about connection. The act of giving and receiving touch in a caring, attentive way can lead to a deep sense of intimacy. The intimate nature of massage, combined with the focus on touch and relaxation, makes it an ideal way to connect physically and emotionally before taking things further.
For the artsy couple: Painting
If you're the type of couple that enjoys expressing themselves in new ways, or maybe you want to explore that side of each other, consider taking an art class like painting. The tactile nature of brushes, the vibrant colors, and the freedom to express your emotions can be incredibly freeing and, when shared, can create a deep connection. Whether you're working on a single canvas together or creating your own individual works, the act of painting can be both relaxing and invigorating. You can even try painting each other to give your partner a new idea about how you view them. Be prepared to laugh and not judge the other too harshly. And once you're done with your masterpiece, grab some lube and take your new painting skills to the bedroom.
For the couple that loves to eat: Cooking
Aside from making something scrumptious, taking a cooking class with your partner will heighten all senses. The sights, smells, and tastes of a cooking class are inherently stimulating, but it's the hands-on nature of the activity that really turns up the heat. Feeding each other, tasting as you go, and working together to create a masterpiece can be incredibly intimate. Add a glass of wine or cocktail while you're at it, and you have the perfect recipe for a romantic evening that might end in something even more satisfying than dessert.
For the passionate couple: Dance Class
Even if you're not the best dancer, there's something undeniably sexy about holding your partner close while music swirls around you. Look into local salsa, tango, or other ballroom dance classes in your area if you're looking to stimulate intimacy in a new way. The way your bodies move together, the subtle hand placements, and the eye contact can all build a magnetic attraction. Plus, the adrenaline rush from learning and perfecting new steps can heighten your senses, making your post-dance connection even more electrifying.
For the couple that loves to get down and dirty: Pottery
Now is the time to live out that Ghost fantasy. Think shirtless Patrick Swayze, fingers intertwining, and being so close with your partner, you can feel the others' heartbeat. While a traditional pottery class might look a little different than the film, you will still be able to get your hands dirty and create something beautiful with your partner. It requires patience, coordination, and trust - similar aspects that are required for a positive sexual experience. And once you get good at the wheel, you can take all of the private lessons you want. The physicality of working with clay, combined with the close quarters of a pottery wheel, can create an atmosphere of gentle touch and shared focus.
For the couple that's up for anything: Aerial Silks class
If you're a couple that seeks adventure, an aerial silks class can be an intense and beautiful way to get close to your partner. This workout requires trust and involves climbing and wrapping yourself in fabric to perform graceful movements in the air. The graceful movements will not only add a layer of sensuality but will build strength and trust within in each other. The combination of physical exertion, the thrill of trying something new, and the sensual movements involved make aerial silks an exhilarating foreplay experience. Maybe you'll even tap into a new hidden talent and want to hang some new silks above the bed.
There are endless ways to stay creative and connected in and out of the bedroom and WET has a lube for every occasion.
Always remember to #JUST ADD SEX.
