While the traditions of Thanksgiving now center on eating a big dinner and making turkey pictures out of hand prints, this holiday was once actually all about sharing skills and giving thanks for the good things. Obviously they were talking about sex. Okay, fine, it was all about the harvest, but really, I like to think it was all about hot puritan sex. Show me your ankles, you dirty thing. So in the spirit of the stuffing and gravy, here are a few tips to make some bedroom tradition of your own!
- Show Thanks. Let your partner know exactly how much you enjoy the way they nibbled on your labia or kiss behind your ears. Get out of that taking-for-granted rut and bring a sense of genuine thanks to your sexy time. Don’t want to just come out and say thank you? Gush your gratitude during dirty talk and moan out the many things you love, all the while, licking down their body…
- Get Stuffed! As we all know, Thanksgiving is about stuffing yourself with food, stuffing all your family time into one night, and of course, eating stuffing. The thing about stuffing is that everyone has a different recipe, everyone likes a different kind and everyone thinks the kind they like is the best. Sometimes when people try a new kind of stuffing, they love it, and other times, it just reminds them of how much they truly love their own pick. That said, in the spirit of the season, try a couple new things and see if they stick, or if you’d rather, just toss em’ out with the bag of giblets. Either way, you’ve explored the options.
- Another Get Stuffed idea along similar lines is to take the suggestion literally and really go get stuffed. By that I mean test out new toys in different sizes and materials to see if something completely out of the ordinary strikes your fancy. For those looking to really get “stuffed,” be sure to check out steel or glass toys. Both materials are nice and heavy and offer no extra give or squishiness. For a free and easy alternative to toys, go for an extra finger wherever you like fingers to go.
- Pass On The Stuff That’s Just Okay. Not a huge fan of cranberry sauce? So, skip it. Why bother wasting your precious belly space with something you are just “eh” about when you can hold out for the sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie? Same goes for sex. If you are just okay with having your pussy licked, but you’d really rather have that tongue on your nipples, tell your partner. They are giving you head for your pleasure, and will probably appreciate using their sexual energy on something you really like, rather than wasting all those tongue strokes on the wrong part. That said, remember that sometimes you need to eat that homemade pie as to not offend the baker. You might not love pecans, but you just gotta take one for the team. Same goes for getting your partner off.
- Share! Get into the spirit of that first Thanksgiving (or at least the story we in school) and share your knowledge and skills. Teach your partner a new trick or divulge a super secret fantasy. Have them show you exactly how they like their balls touched or g-spot stroked. Then celebrate the fruits of your labor. You deserve it! But unlike the early settlers, keep your infectious diseases to yourself.
Happy Thanksgiving! Don’t forget to save some whipped cream for the pumpkin pie!
