6 things that should be on your sexy summer bucket list
Summer is the natural season of shedding tired inhibitions, reckoning with old hesitations, and—wherever possible—choosing freedom over the weight of routine. While we can’t all necessarily drop everything and embrace the entirety of the warmer months with lusty abandon, we 100% can make the very most of summertime by creating a sexy summer bucket list!
A bucket list is a fantastically playful way of adding excitement (and some exxxtra hot spice) to your adventurous summer meanderings, helping to solidify your commitment to exploring your desires and deepening your intimacy—with a partner, and/or with yourself. It can also bring a welcome sense of novelty and spontaneity, create enduring memories, and strengthen bonds—again, with a partner, or with your sweet ‘n sexy ’n very worthwhile self.
Ultimately, a sexy summer bucket list encourages you to embrace your sensuality, indulge in new erotic experiences, and embrace the passion of the season.
Need a little inspiration? Consider adding any or all of the following to your hot AF bucket list:
1. Moonlight skinny dipping
Whether with friends, a lover—or if you feel safe, all by yourself, find a secluded beach or a private swimming pool and experience the exhilarating freedom of skinny dipping under the moonlight. To avoid patently unsexy scenarios related to outdoor sexiness, it’s important to avoid trespassing, or infringing on anyone else’s right not to see naked people creeping around, even if said naked people are having the time of their life. If you’re with friends and in an area where people live nearby, try and keep your hoots of excitement way down. And if you’re with a partner and things get extra sexy (naturally!), be sure to engage in safe water sex.
2. Sensual picnic
The romantic picnic is a timeless summer date night classic for a reason—and can be just as sexy in the daytime as at night. After all, nothing spells sensuous like wining and dining under a beautiful tree with good company, and maybe a bottle of bubbly. Choose a scenic location—one that inspires your soul—even if it takes driving, bussing, hiking or biking to get there. The trip will make the treat that much more worthwhile. Be sure to bring your favorite foods, complete with delicious aphrodisiac specialties like oysters, chocolate-covered strawberries, and pomegranates, or foods that promote sexual health and hormonal balance, like avocado, broccoli, and quality hormone-free meat. Step two: stare languidly into one another's eyes as you slowly indulge.
3. Beach bonfire
If you’re in the vicinity of a body of water—be it ocean, lake, or river—with an accessible shoreline, and if there are no active fire bans at play and you're not breaking any laws, gather your partner or a group of friends together and organize a beach bonfire as the sun sets. Roast some marshmallows or some sausages, make some smores, tell some ghost stories, share some real-life stories, and bask in the warm glow of the fire and good company. If everyone present is a couple, you might consider playing a naughty game, like truth or dare, or never-have-I-ever—or if you’re a tight-knit group that's into poly love, a good old-fashioned game of spin the bottle.
4. Outdoor shower
This one's more involved, but may well be worth the effort. Install an outdoor shower in your backyard, or buy a less labour intensive camping shower to hang from a tree. Alternatively, you might go all out and rent a vacation rental that has one. Whichever way you go, invite your partner of choice to join you for a refreshing—and yet steamy—shared cleansing experience. Depending on the weather, the mood, the vibe, and the limitations of the shower, you might opt for a hot or cold shower—both have great sexiness potential, and the latter is sure to inject humor into the mix. Into trying shower sex? Don’t hesitate, but do follow the standard precautions, at the same time making sure that you’re not being publicly indecent—even if you are an exhibitionist, consent is inherently multidirectional.
5. Erotic outdoor yoga
If yoga’s your thing, or your partner’s thing, or you’ve always wanted to try it, find a serene spot in nature (or in a quiet corner of a park) and practice couples' yoga together. If one of you has experience, you might revel in a kind of erotically charged teacher-student dynamic. One thing’s for sure: you’ll connect on a deeper level as you engage in intimate and sensual poses, exploring both your physical and spiritual connection. The level of intimacy/explicitness of your poses can vary depending on how secluded a spot you’ve found. Either way, you might treat it as something of a tantric foreplay session.
Creating a sexy summer bucket list can be a life-affirming way of deepening bonds and keeping the flame alive with a partner or lover. It can also be a beautiful way to get back in touch with yourself, and strengthen your solo erotic relationship.
What are you waiting for? Make a list and check it twice! Summer is here: are you naughty or nice? <3
