Sex On A Budget: Bring Intimate Relaxation To Your Home!

In this economy, I know it’s hard. Believe me. But, that being said, I’m still a woman who wants to relax and visit a spa with my man for some mind-calming zen and intimacy. Now I really cannot afford to visit a high-end spa at the moment, especially given that their prices are so inflated, so I decided to bring the spa to our home. I mean, what better way to cool off (or heat up! 😉 this summer than by creating my own little spa paradise, right?

Here’s what I did and you can do it to for little to no cash!

First, create the space. Spas make the big bucks for a reason. They create a wonderful escape for people down to the last detail. Do the same; create your optimal environment for rest, relaxation and pleasure (if you want!) for the day or the whole weekend. Select relaxing and/or sexy sounds that can play in the background. Select color matching or all white towels if you plan on jumping in the bath or shower, exchanging massage treatments or something along those lines. Light candles with appealing scents or burn incense if you like. All of these things will create the environment that you both can enjoy and indulge in.

Second, decide how to treat yourselves. Do you have a pool or spa that you want to include or will you keep it private in the bath or shower? Do you want to treat your partner, they can treat you, or do you both agree to massage one another? Is it strictly relaxation or will it mix with pleasure? Will you include adult games of any sort? All of these things should be discussed in order to make the day and/or weekend the most fun for both of you.

Lastly, will you end the night with tasty treats? Do you wish to include food in your relaxing day/weekend? If so, light fruits and vegetables are highly recommended if you want to add pleasure to your weekend. Avoid any foods that are too heavy. Include wine or champagne if you wish and, if you prefer, a nice gourmet dinner at the end of the evening tops this relaxing getaway quite nicely!

Whatever you decide to do, remember to tailor it to your tastes and desires to make it the most enjoyable day or weekend possible. Have fun and enjoy yourself!

Good Luck!

Sex On A Budget: Scarves For Bondage

Bondage can be an expensive taste.

For those who are frequent practitioners or simply love the lifestyle, it is a given that any quality bondage materials often can cost you quite a bit.

Therefore, finding quality restraints is often a problem experienced by those practiced and professed in the art of bondage.

So what if you’re simply an average user or bondage curious?

If you are only curious to try out bondage love or if you don’t dabble too deeply in kink, this tip could work well for you.

Simply employ some fabric scarves as love restraints!

This saves you money because scarves are often much cheaper than any bondage restraints available.

They work well for the average user and add a touch of sensuality to any session you might be having and are easily attainable at any clothing or accessories store or online for a small price.

Cons to using scarves during bondage play include the fact that for more intense users, scarves may rip or may not last long due to wear and tear, scarves may not hold well for your purposes, or the styles available for scarves may not suit your tastes, especially if you’re a lover of leather or other strong and durable materials.

All in all, if you are engage in mild bondage play, using scarves may work well for you in the bedroom.

If not, feel free to check out our bondage section for more durable options!

Have a Nice Weekend!

Good Luck!

Sex On A Budget: Cheap Handheld Massagers Multitasking!

Are you suffering from stress?

Need to relax and unwind?

Let a simple back massager go to work for you and help you work out the kinks in your back and your bed!

Okay, so I know it sounds kind of ridiculous, but a back massager works much in the same way that a clit or handy massager would. In fact, they hold basically the same functions with differing modes of vibration to help stimulate muscles. The only difference is they are designed to stimulate different muscle groups.

And, yes, your nether regions are made up of muscles!

So, my proposal is if you happen to already have a back massager or plan to purchase one to relieve some stress or back pain, why not put the massager on double shifts to help please you in the bedroom and on your back? After all, the prices for both types of massagers are usually similar in range and should work equally well.

The only thing you should consider is that #1: if you don’t have back pain, why bother with a back massager at all? If that’s the case, you may as well buy a normal vibrator. And, #2: it’s inadvisable to insert back massagers vaginally. Although it may not cause much if any harm to you, they aren’t made to be inserted anywhere and thus shouldn’t be. Therefore, stimulation in an erotic way with a back massager is kind of limited, but you will definitely be saving money if you intend to implement the massager for both your bodily massage needs and your erotic massage needs!

All in all, if you don’t have too much bodily pain or soreness, you may as well invest in a normal vibrator. We have plenty of decently priced vibrators on Romance Attack to choose from. If you do need a back massager for pains or stress relief, then this idea could be something to consider, especially if you already own one. If in the end, you prefer to keep your back relief and sexual frustration relief duties separated, simply take a look around our shop and pick out an affordable vibrator. We have plenty of affordable options to choose from.

Three Cheers for Saving Money!

Good Luck!

Sex On A Budget: DIY Natural Lubricant & Massage Oil

Lubricants can be somewhat costly to a person on a strict budget and you may not always have the cash needed to put down to get your favorite brand, but there is a convenient substitute that you might find more affordable in the meantime.

Natural carrier oils may be used as natural lubricants and massage oils as long as they are purely made. There are organic versions abound online and they are pretty affordable. Although they lack the smart formulation, enticing fragrances, and other special effects of brand lubricants, they are still a natural and usually safe option as natural lubricants. Although most carrier oils are safe for use as is, be sure to do your own research on how safe various carrier oils are before deciding to use them. You may also decide to add in your own essential oils for special stimulating effects, but be sure to do your own research beforehand if you are unsure how much to use as essential oils can be very strong in concentration and can irritate skin if not diluted in the oil enough. One might also consider utilizing natural butters for use as a masturbation cream such as shea butter or kokum butter. These are safe for use on skin as is.

Some Great Carrier Oils and Natural Butters Are:

  • Almond Oil
  • Carrot Seed Oil
  • Grapeseed Oil
  • Shea Butter
  • Kokum Butter

Essential Oils for Stimulating Effects:

  • Spearmint EO (Cooling)
  • Cinnamon EO (Stimulating/Warming)

Although making your own lubricant or massage oil can be more work, it is easily tailored to your qualifications this way. It may not have the same smooth consistency or pleasant scent of a store bought lubricant or massage oil, but it is a nice alternative if that is not an option for you. If you absolutely prefer to purchase these items, then do so. It is important that you feel comfortable with what goes on your body so you can enjoy yourself fully.

Check out our selection of massage oils and lubricants for some great deals on all varieties including organic and stimulating varieties.

Good Luck!
