Some locations are just made for romantic sex. Think of the honeymoon suite in a five-star hotel or a quaint little bed-and-breakfast. Egyptian cotton sheets, a luxurious four-poster bed, and a marble bathroom with a shower-for-two… a romantic setting is easy if you've got the money to buy it.
But homemade romance can be just as lovely. You can create all the elements of a romantic setting right in your own home.
- Candles. Votive candles in inexpensive holders cast gentle, warm light. Go for at least a dozen candles to create an extravagantly romantic mood.
- Linens. Treat yourself to crisp new sheets of the highest quality you can afford. Look for 100% cotton. Higher thread counts usually feel softer and smoother, but good-quality cotton makes a difference, too. If you can't afford new sheets, take an iron to your old ones and make sure blankets are clean and pillows are fluffed.
- Extras. What will make your partner feel special? Most women would love a vase of roses by the bed. Men might appreciate seeing a partner in sexy new lingerie. Favorite foods can heighten the senses
