Re-Making Mondays: Intimacy

Let’s be honest. Very few people enjoy waking up and realizing it is Monday. For many the work week is starting over, the weekend was nowhere near long enough and we could all use a few more hours of sleep. Why not just do away with Mondays altogether and reorganize the week to have more time to spend with loved ones? Well, that would require people to redesign the Julian calendar as well as defy the laws of physics. While in theory realigning the planets and altering orbits and rotations seems like a great idea it would just be easier to make the best of what we have.

A method that may help restore some long lost luster to Monday is a supplement to the end of the week “date night”. Instead of going out and risking a saddening repeat of Friday’s follies; stay in and lose the need to speak. Some advice I have given to couples that feel the passion is fading from their relationship is to communicate without words.

Sound crazy? There is some logic behind it. A game that was discussed in my human sexuality class is called “Two Hands, One Voice”. It is not as sexual as it sounds. It is a massage based game. One person sits with their back to the wall while the other sits between the firsts legs facing away from them. Essentially, the two peoples legs should form a double V.

The first person has the two hands. This person can massage and caress the other person anywhere they choose. This person cannot say anything.

The second person is the voice. While they are not allowed to speak they can make noises to guide the other persons hands and signify what they are enjoying.

Something that might improve the couples enjoyment of this game is to use scented candles and massage oil. Luckily, you can get both in one easy to manage form. Massage oil candles are solid until they are lit. The flame warms the wax and turns it into heated massage oil.  After the candle is put out the oil will re-harden into wax. It also helps that they come in scents such as sugar cookie (I ordered this scent for my display kit and it is amazing).

Happy Monday!
