Still Having Sex in the Dark?
Sex in the dark is passé. Turn on the lights or do it in the light of day!
Though you are fans of sex in the dark that doesn't necessarily mean that you have to do it in complete darkness. (jlp)
Light has a huge influence on our well-being and on our mood. Surely you have heard about the connection between depression, bad mood, and the lack of sunlight? We can also create a different atmosphere by changing the ambient light in our homes and affect our mood by doing so as well. Your sexual mood is also very, very different when there is light around and definitely much more uplifting than if you just have sex in the dark. If you don’t like it too bright, you can always use some candles that can wonderfully break the sex-in-the-dark routine while making you feel oh so romantic as well. Turn your bedroom into an oasis of pleasure. Here’s how!
Sex in the dark is out, so get some appropriate lighting
There are no strict rules when it comes to illuminating a room, so take your time and experiment a bit. But the newly created atmosphere will not depend solely on light. The furniture, the height of the ceiling, the size of the walls and the like will also play their part. Try to set up the lights in different parts of the room which you would like to illuminate. You can always add more lights or use less, and you can also test out lights of different colors and different levels of intensity. Choose the kind of light that will fit the atmosphere you wish to create. Would you like to create a wild, energetic one or are you up for a more intimate setting? Anything you want, as long as you let go of having sex in the dark.
The right kind of light can make your bodies appear absolutely yummy! (jlp)
Illuminate only a few parts of the room
To set up an intimate atmosphere, it would be best to illuminate only a few distinct parts of the room. You don’t have to go on a spending spree to do it. You can use a basic table lamp or a night light and point it towards a painting on the wall, towards a plant, or even directly into a mirror. You can also turn the TV on, turn the screen towards the wall, and turn the sound off completely. Be creative. You know that you can be imaginative enough to think of something new and rise above just settling for sex in the dark.
If you would like to get out of the sex-in-the-dark-routine, we recommend you use some candles in your chambers of love. (jlp)
Light can make your body appear much nicer
Each and every one of us has had some bad experience with trying out some new clothes in a dimly lit changing room. See, the light was the problem. Or rather the lack of light. Changing rooms are usually lit only from above and there is only one single stream of light that usually highlights those parts of your body that you're not particularly proud of. So to take care of appropriate lighting in your own home, you should put the light-sources up in such a way that they illuminate you from the sides. That’s a trick fashion photographers and lighting technicians use as well!
If sex in the dark is out, then candles must be in!
Candles are the light-sourse of choice for people who are deeply in love. Making love by candlelight is probably one of the most romantic and sensational experiences there are. If you had trouble staying awake during sex in the dark, a couple of candles could help you stay awake and stay aroused the way you have never dreamed of before. To keep on the safe side, use some tea light candles (scented or unscented) and preferably a candle holder made of glass so you won't burn yourself. A small colored drinking glass should do it as well. Spread the candles all over the room and let it become your chambers of love while you enjoy the play of lights and shadows on the walls and, of course, enjoy each other.
