From Hectic to Hot: A Busy Woman's Guide to Creating More Time for Sex
You're one busy mother (whether you're actually a mother or not). We get it.
You're up before the rooster crows, quickly scrambling eggs while answering emails on your phone. You're simultaneously a chauffeur, an executive, a chef, a peacemaker, a storyteller, a referee, a life coach, and a world-class multitasker...all before your morning latte.
By the time the evening rolls around, you're more zombie than human, and "sexy" is the furthest thing from your mind. It's easier to watch the latest binge-worthy show on Netflix. It feels easier to plop down with a glass of wine and a handful of Reeces Peanut Butter cups than to rev yourself up to be alluring and seductive.
You deserve to enjoy your sex life, no matter how jam-packed your schedule may be. Plus it actually helps your health (click to read the science-backed evidence).
Your relationship is a priority, and taking steps to make time for intimacy can help you maintain a healthy, loving connection. Remember, it's not just about crossing off another task on your list, it's about creating quality moments together.
Here are some doable ways to make some shifts in your life so that you can actually have time for a little nooky with your man.
Examine (and maybe change) Some Life Logistics
Consider if you can afford a weekly house cleaning service to free up your time. Perhaps enlist family members or your partner to take over certain chores, or even hire a virtual assistant for those mundane administrative tasks. Look at your logistics and think creatively about how you can change and shift some of them. After all, you’re the boss of you!
Turn off the Damn TV
Create a sanctuary in your bedroom. Keep it free of distractions like the television. This can promote better sleep and can set the stage for a more intimate atmosphere.
Schedule Sex
Yes, you heard right. Set aside time for it. Just like you plan for business meetings or soccer practices, scheduling sex can alleviate the pressure of spontaneity and ensure you have a special time set aside for each other.
One Word: QUICKIE
Embrace the fast and fun approach. A quickie can fit into the busiest of schedules and can provide a burst of excitement and connection.
Schedule a Sitter
Make date nights a non-negotiable. If you still have little ones at home, consider a trusted babysitter or family member to take care of them while you care for your relationship.
Let Others Do the Work in the Bedroom
No, not what you think. Not other people. But bring in some products that can be great helpers such as sex toys. From vibrating massagers to couple's toys, these little helpers can offer a fun, new dimension to your intimate time, while reducing the pressure on you to perform.
We have a couple of Gift Sets that can help with this. They include everything you need for a Naughty Night In or a Naked Date Night (that's even what we call them).
Put Routines on Autopilot
Turn your necessities into no-brainers. Amazon’s Subscribe & Save can deliver your laundry detergent, toilet paper, and other daily needs without you even having to think about it. Compile shopping lists for recurring purchases on your favorite online stores.
And let us bring some ease to your life with our Beloved Subscription. Our Luxurious Intimacy Serum and Personal Moisturizer can come straight to your door, as frequently as you want. Forget about the necessary errand to go buy it, the Serum will automatically arrive in discreet packaging, accompanied by a rotating selection of romantic Gift with Purchases. One month it could be our massage creme and another it could be a pair of silk restraints. Each shipment will have a different gift with purchase to help you keep it fresh.
It will just show up in a discreet package (your nosy neighbor Cindy doesn't need to know). IDEA: maybe the day it shows up is your prompt to make a few minutes of time and initiate sex.
