When you and your partner finally get a weekend to yourselves, the pressure is on to make the most of it. Some couples plan a getaway, while others just want to catch up on their streaming queue. We’re here to propose a better option: a sex staycation. That means clearing your calendar, turning off your phones, and spending the entire weekend alone in bed together. Here’s why you should plan one immediately.
1. It’s the ultimate relationship reboot
Couples that have been together a long time can fall into a routine, both in and out of the bedroom. A sex staycation is the perfect opportunity to break out of that. It’s a chance to forget everything else for a couple of days, focus only on each other, and take the time to appreciate what you have together without any outside distractions.
2. You have plenty of time to experiment
Have you talked about trying something new in the bedroom but never seem to have the time or energy? A weekend in bed is the perfect, low-pressure environment to explore. Maybe you want to bring a new sex toy into the mix, like a versatile couples toy such as the Volea that can be used as a C-ring. Or maybe you want to finally bring a pet fantasy to life. This is your time to take it slow and have fun with it.
3. It’s a guaranteed boost for your sex life
It happens to even the most passionate couples. Life gets in the way, and sex takes a back seat. A sex staycation is a guaranteed way to kickstart your sex life into high gear again. It’s a powerful reminder of how much the two of you love having sex with each other, and it can help carry that renewed energy into the weeks that follow.
4. It’s actually good for your health
Great sex — and plenty of it — can work wonders for your health. Sex is terrific for managing stress, balancing moods, and boosting the immune system. It’s also a serious workout that builds strength and burns calories. A multi-day lovefest is as good for your body as it is for your mind and soul.
5. It’s better than binge-watching another series
Sure, you can spend another weekend watching television or catching up on chores, but do you really want to? You can do those things anytime. A weekend you have completely to yourselves deserves to be savored. A sex staycation is an especially good way to spend a weekend when gloomy weather would have kept you cooped up indoors anyway.
6. You’ll start the week in the best mood ever
Stress has a way of building up. Treating yourselves to all the sex you can handle for a whole weekend is the perfect way to reset. Your system will be flooded with feel-good endorphins, and you’ll sleep better from all the physical activity. You’ll practically float into the office on Monday morning.
7. You can reconnect like you used to
Every so often, it’s good for you to put your responsibilities on hold and revisit what life was like when you were younger and more carefree. An all-weekend sex-a-thon is a golden opportunity to do exactly that. You can make the weekend all about each other, just like you did when you first started dating.
Everyone needs a weekend to simply relax and decompress. We can’t think of any better way to do that than by grabbing your partner, hitting the sheets, and staying there all weekend long. A sex staycation isn't an indulgence — it's an investment in your pleasure and your relationship.
