Check out Patty's third tip on how to bring the romance back to life after the holiday stress is behind you below:

This leads to another New Year’s resolution, and that’s to have more sex! Making an effort to be intimate can be very rewarding because often times, getting physical with your partner brings about even more desire to re-connect. It’s when we stop trying that we often fall into slumps or ruts that keep us physically distant.

Tip No. 2 For Getting the Romance Back After the Holiday Stress Is Behind You

DearSugar — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 09:00:00 -0800

Patty's back! Check out her second tip on how to bring the romance back after the holiday stress is behind you below:

Make an effort to do little things for your partner. A recent study showed that 83 percent of couples held hands while in the beginning of their marriage versus only 38 percent after a decade together. Compliments, surprise notes, thoughtful gifts, or gestures can go a long way toward keeping you feeling close and connected. So make a New Year’s resolution to change any complacent or negative patterns and become a better, more supportive partner in the years to come.

Tip No. 1 For Getting the Romance Back After the Holidays

DearSugar — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 06:00:00 -0800

Last week Patty Brisben offered up some great advice on how to avoid a sex slump during the holiday season, and she's back to give us some tips on how to bring the romance back to life once the holiday stress is behind us. Check out her first suggestion below:

Get active! Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel giddy, healthier, and sexier - so go ice skating; take a ski trip, just the two of you; or hit the gym together. If you live in a warmer climate, go for a hike out in nature. Whatever you decide, the effects of being active will not only help both of you get fit, it will also make you say “I look great!” and there’s no better aphrodisiac than a little self-confidence!

Patty Brisben is back with one more tip, which will wrap up our series on how to prevent a sex slump this holiday season - I hope her pointers helped keep the fire burning in your relationship! Check out her last bit of advice on this subject below:

If you live in a cold climate, take a hot shower or bath at night with your partner to warm up and de-stress from the day. A silicone-based lubricant like Pure Pleasure has the long-lasting quality which makes it the perfect lubricant for water play!

Tip No. 4 For Avoiding a Holiday Sex Slump

DearSugar — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 07:30:00 -0800

Patty Brisben is back to offer up another tip on how to avoid a sex slump this holiday! Check out her advice below:

Engage in a childlike or lighthearted activity - like building a snowman, going sledding, or even going to an indoor (or outdoor, climate providing) ice rink. It will take you back to playful, more carefree times where you weren’t as bogged down with the mortgage and the daily grind. Many cities also offer romantic horse-driven carriage rides where you can look at the city lights and not be bothered with the outside world.

Tip No. 3 For Avoiding a Holiday Sex Slump

DearSugar — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 10:00:00 -0800

Patty Brisben, of PureRomance.com fame, is back to offer up another tip so we can learn how to avoid a sex slump of our own and master how to bring the romance back after the holiday stress is behind you. Check out her advice below:

Creativity has long been linked with sexual appetite, so share a creative project with your main squeeze - make personalized ornaments, bake holiday cookies, cook a romantic meal with one another, or decorate the Christmas tree. Even a small project like decorating a tree comes with challenges (making sure the tree doesn’t lean, that all the lights are working, etc.) and believe it or not, taking on a task and working through all the quirks together can often spark a little romance. You’ll both benefit from feelings of teamwork when you’re able to take a look at the final results of something you took on and accomplished together!
