Sexy New Year's Resolutions for Couples: A 2023 Guide

It's that time of year again when the calendars are full of events, and you're dying to get some time alone with your partner. You're ready to start 2023 with a fresh, clean slate but need to know where to start. Whatever your goal is, have you considered that you and your other half could make new year's resolutions for couples? When you start making goals, and as a unit, you'll find that life's bigger problems become easier. You have a stronger relationship based on shared experiences and trust your partner more. And with more trust, you can reach out and experiment more. 

So start 2023 by making sexy new year's resolutions as a couple. 

Benefits of Sexy Couple's New Year's Resolutions

Relationships are complex and multifaceted. When you're constantly with the other person, you have little space to develop, and things can become stagnant. The first place where things tend to get stale is in the bedroom. You know what the other person wants, so why bother trying anything new?

When things become stale in the bedroom, you may notice other aspects of your relationship are off-kilter. Perhaps you stop talking during dinner and just doom scrolling instead. Sharing regular sexual intimacy helps bring you together and strengthen you as a unit. 

Some other benefits of making sexy new year's resolutions are:

• Open discussion about your kinkier interests.
• Cross things off your sexual bucket list.
• Feel closer together as a couple.
• Reduce fighting and friction in the relationship.
• Smile more, sleep better, and stress less.
• Feel confident in your sexuality.

Learn more about your partner, yourself, and your relationship through the experience.

Have a list of ideas to reference when you want to shake things up in the bedroom.

There's no downside to making new year's resolutions as a couple. So long as you both collaborate and agree on them, you'll find that the spark you once thought was dim now shines brighter.

How to Talk to Your Partner About Sexy New Year's Resolutions

Not every couple is comfortable talking about sex, and that's okay. But deep down, almost everyone is dying to experiment with sexuality. After all, it is a foundational aspect of your identity as an individual and a couple. So there are a few ways you can start this conversation:

• Bring up a couple's new year's resolution and see if you want to make any in general. Then suggest adding a few sexier ones.
• Send your partner a text message, so you don't have to have the discussion face-to-face. Something like, "Hey honey, I really want 2023 to be our sexiest year yet. Would you like to make some sexy new year's resolutions as a couple?" 
• Turn something steamy on Netflix. Use it as a segway to opening a conversation about experimenting in your sex life.
• Share this article with them!

Whatever way you choose, try to be considerate.

Sexuality is a sensitive topic for many. If you don't positively phrase things, someone is likely to have their feelings hurt.

Also, remember that this is meant to be collaborative, so don't make resolutions for your partner. Make it a shared activity that you can both enjoy!

Examples of Sexy New Year's Resolutions for Couples

Discussions about sex are always meant to be had outside the bedroom. When talking about it in the place where you usually have sex, emotions can run a little high. So, instead, make it a fun date night activity for both of you to share! Grab a bottle of wine and have fun with it.

We will invest in a couple's sex toy

The simplest way to change up your sex routine is by adding a new sex toy into the mix. The sex toy industry has come leaps and bounds in recent years. There's now a plethora of C-shaped vibrators on the market!

They're designed for both partners' pleasure.

Worn by the woman, one arm is inserted into the vagina and rests on the G-spot. Meanwhile, the other arm rests externally on the clitoris. While wearing it, there is still plenty of room for your partner to ease inside you and share the powerful vibrations. Talk about making sex better with almost no effort!

We will experiment with erotic power exchange (BDSM)

BDSM is wildly popular for a multitude of reasons.

But most of all, it's about the eroticism of power.

As Oscar Wilde once said, "Everything in life is about sex except sex, sex is about power."

So if your partner is always in control, set aside a few nights for you to be in control! 

Grab one of our sexy BDSM beginner's kits, so you can experiment with the various implements of pleasure. It will definitely shake up your 2023!

We will try erotic public play

Obviously, having sex in public is both illegal and problematic. But who said a little exhibitionism isn't exactly what your relationship is missing? You have a few options to play in public that all centre around remote-controlled vibrators.

You can get one for her and slide it into her panties. This gives your partner complete control over what's happening while you're at the pub.

Or try a vibrating cock ring or prostate massager for him. That way, you can watch him squirm while enjoying dinner. 

Just make sure you keep it appropriate and discreet! 

We will prioritise our sexual health

You can do countless things to improve or maintain your sexual health. Some critical ones are:

• Getting regularly checked for STIs by your doctor. Even if you're in a monogamous relationship, it's worth having peace of mind.
• Cleaning your sex toys and getting rid of old porous ones that could threaten your health.
• Always peeing after sex.
• If your partner is on birth control, make sure she's on the right one by tracking her symptoms and cycles.
• Examine the ingredient lists on your lubricants to ensure they're safe for each orifice.
• Go through your condom collection and throw out expired or compromised wrappers.

Every little action you can take to improve your sex life matters. It all starts with your sexual health.

We will speak with a professional

Sometimes when sex gets stale, it stops happening altogether. While discussing it may feel uncomfortable, you must broach the topic and get the help you need. If you're struggling with any of the following:

• Erectile dysfunction or challenges maintaining erections
• Orgasmic issues such as delayed ejaculation, early ejaculation, or anorgasmia (inability to have an orgasm)
• Porn or sex dependence
• Mismatched libido in relationships
• Communication difficulties
• Being in a sexless relationship

Or pretty much any other sexual issue. Our Resident sexologist (me, Elaine Turner) will be happy to help!

I see clients privately via Zoom during standard business hours. I will also hold open hours at our Penrith adult store starting in 2023. That way, you can get your sex life back on track and rediscover the magic of your relationship.
