Happy NYE everyone! Has anyone else decided on a new years resolution for 2018?
Perhaps even a sex related resolution??? If you have – share it below!
I’ve got two:
Sexual – Only sleep and have sex in bed!
Since my partner and I moved in together, we pretty much only hang out in bed as our lounge isn’t very comfy. We eat snacks in bed, watch movies and tv in bed – and I think doing everything in bed has hurt our sex life. When I’m in bed now I don’t think about sex as often because now my bed is associated with so many different things in my mind – most of which being lazy/non-intimate things 😀 So I’m going to make an effort to spend more time doing other things in the lounge room and leave the bed for what its meant for 😉
Lifestyle – Learn French
I used to speak french when I lived in Canada, but have lost it over the years. I recently downloaded this killer app called Duolingo and I’m really keen to learn again! It’s free and it has all of these easy activities that get you to write, speak, listen and pair words etc. – It even tells you what % fluent you are after every stage you pass!
What are your resolutions?
Happy New Years to you all!
Oh my, I stopped making New Years Resolutions a while ago because I HATED when I failed at them! This year I am going to make an effort to write more and to try not to leave my uni assignments to the last minute (let’s be honest, it’s the only way I know how to get them done 😀 )
I like the idea of a Sex-related NYR @RoseHill and yours is a good one! I’ve noticed I sleep better since I only use my bed for sleeping and sex. Would be a good to know if you notice a difference in both areas! Though got to love some snacks in bed, and breakfast in bed after sex always feels decadent!
I think my Sex-Related NYR is to have a completely new sexual experience, like going to a ropes class or something like that! Any suggestions?
Love the bed one @RoseHill! I’m definitely guilty of that. I should probably make my clothes chair and actual chair this year.
My resolution is to get better at pole and lap dancing. 🙂
Great idea @RoseHill
I think lifestyle I’d like to have more me time this year and relaxation time and not always be so stressed.
As for a sexual one, confidence, my self confidence is definitely holding me back on aspects of my sexual relationship with my partner and I’d love to improve that
My NY resolution is to cook more! I’m not terrible at it, but I live alone so cooking for one can be a bit of a chore. But I’ve told my partner I want to make him my recipe guinea pig and try to make us something new or different at least once a fortnight, just to expand my skills and confidence in the kitchen.
That sounds really achievable @MintMilano 🙂
@RoseHill love the idea of a sexual NY resolution!
Sexual
I’d like to get out of my head and just enjoy having sex more
Lifestyle
@MintMilano I definitely want to get in the kitchen more too! I would love to get into the really adventurous vegan substitutes like making my own seitan, mozzarella or pavlova with chickpea brine!
I also want to build up the courage to work abroad for a few months once I’ve finished uni, maybe as a TA in the UK!
I’m so with you on that @peachy, I find it so hard sometimes to get out of my head and just enjoy sex, definitely find it holds me back from fully enjoying myself. Maybe a good idea for a new thread topic…
Loving this thread! I just bought a new bed and am definitely keen to stop doing non-bed things in it too.
Sexual
Set aside time for sex. My partner and I are complacent sometimes with sex, we’ll not have it for a while then when we do we’re so keen to orgasm it’s over pretty quick for both of us. I’d like to be a bit more proactive about what we’re going to do to keep it interesting and regular!
Lifestyle
Be more organised! I’m going back to uni this year and really want to plan better. Thanks to you fine folk, I’ve got myself a bullet journal and am loving how it’s so simple and personalised. I’m also organising a bit of a de-clutter to allow for more freedom in my life and planning.
What are you going to study @HoneyPot?
Happy new year everyone!!
I’m loving this thread – very inspiring 🙂
My sexual NYR is pretty much the same as yours @HoneyPot! Intimacy is such a big part of a relationship and I need to make sure I give it the same importance and priority in my day-to-day life. I find it so easy to put off sex at the end of a long day, but I’m determined to be a bit more spontaneous and adventurous!
In terms of lifestyle, I’m keen to focus on getting fitter and stronger – as they say, healthy mind, healthy body… amiright? Healthy body also includes sleeping better (longer and more consistent hours) and eating a balanced and healthy diet. Of course, it’s always easier said than done!
@mak_trouble891 I’m doing masters of social work 🙂
That sounds great @veryelle ! it can be hard to prioritize sex sometimes, but I always find that I’m never like ..”Oh wow, I really wish I hadn’t had that orgasm.” It’s always worth it!
Oh wow! that’s awesome @HoneyPot, I’m in the process of completing a bachelor of social work, but have taken 6 months off to save to complete work placement. How are you finding your masters course so far?
Thats really cool @mak_trouble891 ! I haven’t started yet, starting very soon though! Let me know if you have any tips 😀
