It’s that time of year when romance is in the air. Yeah, I know that sounds cheesy, but it’s a whole lot nicer than ‘it’s the time of year when everything is grey and slushy and you are just as likely to step in snow covered dog poop than not,’ so just bear with me. Valentine’s Day may be around the corner, but even after it passes, there’s no rule that says the romance needs to fizzle. In fact, now is the perfect time to make your days sizzle with romance and amazing sex. You’re already hibernating inside under all those blankets, so really, why not make a warm little tent for two (or three, or four…) and show your partner exactly what you meant when you said you needed to “warm up.” And not to worry if you are a little light in the wallet area right now (you and everyone else), these romance reigniters are budget friendly and easy to pick up around town.

- Pick up an inexpensive back massager at the drugstore. The ones that come with a variety of interchangeable heads may be your best bet. Then treat your partner to a full body massage before zeroing in on their bits. For women, run the massager lightly over her vulva and around the insides of her thighs, then head over to the sweet spot, her clit. For guys, travel down the insides of his thighs, then gently massage his balls while you use your hand on his dick. Press the massager lightly against his perineum – the spot between is balls and butthole – to give him a real thrill.

- Some people may think of this as cliché (like it really matters if it feels amazing…), but don’t forget about your local grocery store when you are looking for a sweat treat. Chocolate syrup and whip cream are prefect to lick off your partner’s body, as well as ice cream if you want a little chilly jolt. Don’t under estimate the hotness factor of being licked up and down your body – or doing the licking. Trust me, you will have your partner making sounds you never hear before. Just be careful when it comes to sugary products near your vag, they can cause nasty yeast infections. And while we are trying to get nasty, we definitely don’t mean that way. Ick.

- To add a little kinky kick, tie your bedmate to the bed with silky scarves. Don’t tie them too tight, you don’t want to cut off circulation, but just enough to let them know to stay put. Use a scarf as a blindfold as well to add an extra element of anticipation. When your partner is all tied and ready to go, move another scarf lightly over their body to invigorate their nerves. Also think about playing with a feather or any other soft and sensual material.

- Cool down those hot nights under the blankets with some ice cubes. Temperature play is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to really get your partner goin’. Trail ice along their back, trace their nipples or run it wherever makes them squirm. Really, you can pretty much do anything with it because it’s just water and it won’t hurt your body or stain your sheets. And it’s free!

- Watch porno! With video on demand sites (like HM4Her), you can easily log onto the computer and pick from a huge selection of flicks to get you guys extra in the mood. And at only a few cents a minute, getting your porno fix this way is super cheap, easy and totally convenient. Maybe bookmark a few movies you think would be good beforehand so you aren’t frantically trying to pick when all you want to do is get busy. Bring your laptop into the bedroom (or wherever you are) and set it up close enough to watch, but be sure not to put it somewhere that it will not fall easily when you get into the heavy bumping and grinding. If you only have a desktop model, don’t worry! Computer chairs work wonders when it comes to lap dances. Plus, there’s nothing sexier than getting close and sharing a seat while you get all hot and bothered.

- Bring a book! Try reading erotica out loud to turn up the temp on your night. Take turns reading stories to each other and maybe even acting out the activities as they come up. You’d never think a bookworm could be so hot! And if you don’t get to finish your story (which you probably won’t), you can always pick up where you left off next time! This way, one book can give you tons of happy nights, which makes the price tag (though not usually too high) totally worth the investment.

-One very overlooked tip when it comes to turning on the romance and spicing up you sexin’ is clean your room. Whether it’s your bedroom, living room, kitchen, office or wherever, there is nothing sexy about getting busy in the middle of clutter and dust. I’m not talking hospital corners on the sheets or anything, but spending ten minutes sweeping through and straightening can up the hot factor exponentially. Remember, it doesn’t have to take a ton of effort to let it show that you care. Plus, it gives you more options if you want to move from the bed to the floor… or dresser… or countertop… or dining room table.

Now matter how you decide to really crank the heat on these winter nights, have fun doing it. Romance is about both (or however many) of you, so don’t stress about it too much or you will miss the point. Stay warm and get hot!
