Happy Halloween! We are back at the spooky time of year where haunting and hot get together for a roll in the hay. While a good scare can get our blood pumping almost as well as a mind-blowing orgasm, I prefer to look at Halloween as the perfect time to bring your most exciting fantasies to life with the magic of role playing! Bringing costumes and props into the bedroom is a great way to have even more fun during sex. It’s the perfect opportunity to try something new! Fancy a shag with a scantily clad French maid? Go for it! What about being the cop to your own barely dressed bandit? Don’t forget the handcuffs!
Not only can you rely on this time of year to easily find costumes of all of your bedroom needs, you can find sexy versions of everything, from nurses to nuns! All you have to do is open the package (I love a good pun!) and there you go – a completely sexy witch set in 2 seconds flat. The second best part of using the Halloween store to your sex life’s advantage is that while those costumes can be a pretty penny, they will be way less money than anything you could buy at sex toy stores or lingerie shops any other time of the year. And in these economic times, saving money is the sexiest thing of all!
Whether you are testing the role playing waters or a skilled pro looking for a few new tricks to treat your partner to, follow these terrifyingly helpful tips for bringing the bounty of the season into your bedroom!
- Forget about rushing to the store as soon as it opens in August. Head to the costume shop on Halloween, or especially the day after, to get the best deals on stores’ extra inventory. While the selection may not be as stellar as the first day they hit the shelves, the 75% off clearance tag will surely dry your tears.
- If a costume set seems like a waste of money, spring for the accessories and use them to dress up what you already have at home. Dying to try a flapper fantasy, but the set is super expensive? Why not just buy the headpiece, fake pearls and shiny cigarette holder. Even your oldest, most boring lingerie will be totally revived for a fraction of the price. I mean really, isn’t it all going to end up in a ball on the floor anyway? And use the costume store for ideas, then go home and substitute/recreate things for free!
- Be careful when it comes to props that say novelty. They are not for actual use. That $5 novelty whip may seem like a steal, but it’s definitely not worth the problems that can occur when you try to play with it. Ow! Same goes for costume handcuffs. A fun accessory to look at, but when it comes to hardcore action, they aren’t made to withstand weight or force, and can actually hurt you with their sharp plastic parts.
- Try it all on – emphasis on “try on” and “all.” Most costume stores have a dressing room you can use, or just wear a tight tank top and bike shorts underneath your clothes to try stuff on out in the open. Do it. I know how annoying it is to have to take all your stuff off, then put it back on, but trust me, that’s less annoying that going home to get busy and realizing your exciting new purchase doesn’t fit right. Talk about a mood killer! And try it ALL on. Something you may think is totally stupid many actually be super sexy on your body. You never know until you try it on. Just remember that you may feel stupid in a costume at 2 in the afternoon in a florescent-lit shop, but it doesn’t mean that it won’t rock your bedroom from now until next October!
- And lastly, remember to have fun! This is sex – it’s supposed to be fun! Think of this as an adventure and see what kind of off the wall ideas you can come up with! Worst comes to worst, at least you’ll already have your Halloween costume for next year!
Happy Haunting!
