Couples Spa Treatments: the Ultimate Foreplay
Let’s start here with two words: vacation sex.
We’re big fans of it. And who wouldn’t be? You and your man are taking dedicated time to relax and unwind together physically and emotionally.
So what better way to get the party started (AKA foreplay) than with a couples spa treatment?
Couples massages are always popular, especially at destination spas where couples are mostly likely on vacation and want to indulge in luxurious treatments. Massages, and other spa treatments, capture the essence of great foreplay: you and your beau setting aside intentional time to nurture yourselves, your bodies and connect with each other. We think that’s a splurge-worthy cause for sure and here are some ways to make the most of it.
Planning
Planning doesn’t have to take the passion or surprise out of sex, so don’t be put off by scheduling your “spa foreplay” either. Spas book up, especially depending on the season that you go.
And don’t be afraid to make a request for female or male therapists if you have a preference! The most important thing is that you and your partner feel relaxed and comfortable.
Keep in mind the time of day you’re booking your massage. Do you tend to feel frisky mid-morning, late afternoon or evening? Knowing when you’re most likely to be in the mood and scheduling your treatment around that time sets you and your man up for the most amount of fun.
Picture This:
You’re naked under luxurious robes that feel fantastic on your skin. Dim lighting and candles make you and your partner feel look like you’re glowing. Relaxing music plays and there are no kids, phone notifications or messages to respond to.
It’s just you and your man enjoying this set amount of time to melt away the tension and worries of day-to-day life. You are here purely to relax and replenish with your favorite person.
It’s no wonder that by the end of the treatment, people are in the mood for more. Plus, your skin is glistening with massage oil and flickering candlelight has everyone looking their best.
Why not take advantage of the moment? In a lot of luxe spas, couple’s treatments can be booked in a private suite (or even your own room) complete with showers, so you’ll have some predetermined alone time after your treatment. Imagine what kind of trouble you could get into with this setup!
Head Back to Your Room
Here’s where you keep the momentum going. Wear your robes to (and then from) your treatments so they can come off quickly in the heat of the moment when arriving back in your room.
Have some champagne or wine delivered to your room while you’re getting your massage and crack open the bottle. While you’re sipping, draw a bath to hop into immediately to rinse off all those luxurious oils.
Step it up by adding some of our Couple’s Bubbles which is a sexy charcoal bubble bath. Find it in our Naked Date Night Gift Set.
If you and your partner would rather get straight to business, do a quick freshen up and wipe away any massage oil that may have crept into intimate areas. Light a candle to keep the ambiance going, and don’t forget the matches - both of which are also found in our Naked Date Night Kit.
Pro tip: set out the lube prior to going to your massage, so there’s not any awkward searching for it in the moment. Beloved is discrete enough to sit on your nightstand and looks like a bottle of luxe skincare, so no need to feel sheepish about having it out.
