Billy plants a rowboat garden; a fun home project Vasopressin, a hormone involved in social behaviors like bonding, sexual function and aggression, may play a role in how men choose their partners. Research suggests that vasopressin levels increase in men when working on solving a problem as a team with their love interest. Studies have also found that men with higher levels of vasopressin tend to be more faithful and committed in relationships. Love it! Here's a list of creative DIY projects you can work on with your babe to take advantage of the rush in hormones and maybe a closer bond with your partner. Customized Canvas Art : Grab some paint and blank canvases, and create personalized artwork together. You can each paint something that represents your relationship or work on a single piece as a team. Wanna get really creative? Strip down and use washable, body-safe paint and paint each other. Then use your bodies in interesting ways to put the paint to the canvas. DIY Candle Making : Make your own scented candles. You can choose your favorite fragrances and colors, and even add personal touches like dried flowers or custom labels. Memory Scrapbook : Collect photos, ticket stubs, and other mementos from your relationship and create a scrapbook. It’s a great way to relive memories and create something meaningful together. Home Cooked Dinner : Plan a meal, cook it together, and then enjoy it by candlelight. You can even make it themed, like an Italian night with homemade pasta or a sushi night with DIY rolls. Preparing and enjoying food can be very sensual. Pottery or Clay Sculpting : Try your hand at making pottery or clay sculptures. Even if it’s just simple hand-built pieces, it’s a fun and tactile activity that lets you get creative together. And hello, have you seen Ghost? The pottery scene with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore is iconic for a reason! DIY Photo Booth : Set up a photo booth with fun props and a backdrop. Spend the evening taking silly or romantic photos to capture the fun moments. Feeling adventurous? Take your photo shoot outdoors, like we did below! DIY Terrariums : Create mini indoor gardens by building terrariums. Choose succulents, moss, and decorative stones to craft your own little green world. Take pleasure in watching it grow! Custom T-Shirts : Design and print your own T-shirts. You can make matching shirts or each create something unique for the other to wear. Or get artsy and tie dye shirts for one another. Wine or Beer Tasting Kit : Set up your own tasting session at home. You can even make custom labels for the bottles and pair them with snacks or cheeses. Joe doesn't drink, so we'd recommend a kombucha brewing night, where we infuse our batches with delicious flavors. Bath Bomb Making : Make your own bath bombs with different scents and colors. It’s a relaxing activity that gives you something luxurious to enjoy later. Anything that leads to a sexy bath together is worthwhile! We did a sunset photoshoot on the boat one summer evening.

Billy and Suzy during a romantic outing on the boat Life can be awfully hectic between work obligations, raising children, and all of the responsibilities that make up adult life. If you're lucky enough to have a wonderful partner in your life, the last thing you want to do is neglect that relationship by going through the motions without taking the time to connect. Research has shown that one of the most critical mistakes you can make as a partner, is turning down your partner when they reach out for connection. That doesn't mean you can't say no to sex once in awhile, but when your partner shows they want to connect, whether that's physically, emotionally or spiritually, when you respond positively, it goes a long way to make them feel appreciated, valued and secure.

I am so lucky. I have a partner who enjoys talking about our relationship. It's basically a girl's dream! All of those thoughts constantly swirling in my head while I think of us, can be conveyed to him conversationally and he'll actually enjoy it, engage with me, and share his own thoughts. Swoon. Taking turns asking and answering questions is an intimate, easy way to vulnerably open up to your partner. In return, you learn about them too. We've used this card game, "We're Not Really Strangers," my former therapist recommended (I miss you, Bev!), which has different levels of conversations meant to deepen your understanding of someone. So I thought it would be fun to come up with some sexy questions you could ask your lover (or lovers, we're cool with whatever you're into) to get to know them a little better, uncover spicy secrets, and most importantly, have fun! What's the most unexpected place you've felt an attraction to someone? If we could escape anywhere right now, where would you want us to go? What's a secret fantasy you've always wanted to explore? What's your favorite way to be touched? If you could relive one sensual moment from your past, what would it be? What's something you'd love to try in the bedroom but haven't yet? What outfit do you feel sexiest in? What's your favorite part of foreplay? How do you like to be kissed? What's the sexiest thing someone has ever said to you? Do you prefer slow and sensual or fast and intense? What turns you on instantly? What’s your favorite type of lingerie or underwear on me? What’s something about me that drives you wild? Would you rather dominate or be dominated? If sexuality is a spectrum, where would you place yourself? What's your freakiness rating, on a scale of 1 to 10? How would you like to have me tonight? ;) There you go, some spicy questions to really heat up the conversation, and activity level! What questions would you add to the list?
