5 Things to Carry on a Romantic Vacation

The plans have been made and the bags have been packed: you have decided to leave the crazy city and bring some romance in your life. While we are totally in-sync with this idea of yours, we have some packing tips for you that you will surely find helpful. Before you jet set off, remember to carry these 5 things along with you.

1. Gift wrap a surprise

Happy surprises are always welcome. And they feel even better when handed out on holidays. Remember to pack a little something for your sweetheart and surreptitiously slip it under her pillow. This is a sure shot happy way to begin that romantic holiday.

2. Sexy lingerie

Not for you, for her! It would be pretty awesome if you buy your love some sexy lingerie. Go to a department store and ask the lady attendant to help you. There is nothing creepy in this, so don’t be embarrassed. Some sexy lingerie is sure to set the mood and get your hormones jumping for joy.

3. Candles and Music

You cannot get it right, till the mood is right. Be sure to carry candles and an updated playlist along with you. Dance a bit, soak in the music, and let the romance settle in. Perfect!

4. Condoms / Birth Control Pills

We don’t need to elaborate on this now, do we?

5. Personal Grooming items

Chances are you will stay indoors for long. Therefore, personal grooming is extremely important given your space constraints. Carry essential items and do what you wish, but don’t compromise on personal grooming.

Doing It Outside the Bedroom

Who says that sex needs to be confined to the bedroom alone? With a little bit of creativity and an adventurous spirit, sex can be equally thrilling in other places as well. Here’s an insider’s look at the places most suitable for doing the deed.

1. Living Room Couch

If you were using the couch just for watching television and lazing around, you have been seriously undermining its true potential. Most adventurous

couples love to take their passions up a notch, by using their couches to make love. Considering the cramped space and the fact that it is nearly not as comfortable as the bed, one needs to come up with newer techniques, to keep the passions going.

2. The Shower Cubicle

Can there be a sexier start to a day than taking a warm and steamy shower with your ladylove? The water streaming down her nude skin is

enough to signal the start of a passionate overture. The best thing about this is that you need not carry her all the way to a bedroom, if you feel the need to act out on your urges. The shower cubicle is the perfect place to have sex, allowing enough room for passionate embraces and lovemaking. So just turn on the shower and lose yourself in the sexual haze.

3. Kitchen Counter

Consider the following situation: Your ladylove is cooking up a storm in the kitchen. You sneak up from behind and gently tease her into arousal. To proceed to make love you need only

lift her and place her on the counter top and let your bodies run their courses. Not only does having sex on the kitchen counter make for a lovely change of place, but also gives you the brilliant opportunity to shake up your lovemaking approach. Besides, now you can watch over your dinner while having sex (not that you would be paying attention to it.)

4. The Floor

Of all the places to have sex in, the floor is the most underrated and therefore one of the most coveted places. Spread a clean rug on the floor

and let your passionate urges take over. The empty spaces without the risk of bumping into other furniture, provides ample room for various positions.

5. The Backseat of Your Car

Who says that you can only feel passionate within the safe confines of your house? The more adventurous couples are taking intercourse to the next level by stepping outside of their

comfort zones. So the next time you feel the urge to have sex with your sweetie while driving, stop the car and unleash your inner sexual beast in the backseat. She will never forget the sexual experience. At the end of the day, sex is only a way to physically express your emotions and when passions run high, it shouldn’t have to wait for night time and a cosy bed.

10 Things Women Hate About Men

1. Feelings

I’ll give top spot to feelings – or rather a man’s apparent inability to express his feelings and talk about them to a woman. Women love yapping away and are known for speaking their minds and making their feelings well known. Mind it; not talking about feelings is very different from having your feelings under control. Issues arise when you cannot see the thin line which separates the two.

2. Over-dominance

It is absolutely noble to want to protect your woman and make her feel safe. It is pretty much every man’s duty. However, your woman is definitely not going to like it if you turn from protector to dictator on her. Don’t try to control specific aspects of her life. You might actually end up suffocating her.

3. Language

While the ‘swearing-woman’ is no longer a myth, she is definitely not going to approve if every fourth or fifth word you speak is an expletive. There are some men who just cannot express themselves without having to resort to swearing. A word here and there is okay when you’re upset; just don’t make it the norm if you want to be in the woman’s good books.

4. Just not romantic enough

Women like to portray that tough, not-a-helpless-girl attitude – but at heart, they’re always going to be hopelessly romantic. There’s nothing that a woman would possibly want more than a male partner who connects with her emotionally, and manages to catch her off guard with those little romantic advances. If you’re that guy who thinks romance is an alien concept, you’re going to have a tough time with the women.

5. Predictable vs. Spontaneous

It doesn’t need a rocket scientist or a love guru to tell you which category of men is preferred by women out of the two. Let’s face it; things do get boring after a while. Be a little creative and innovative. Do something out of the blue, and make sure you tell her that she is the only reason you went to the extent of doing something new and put in that extra effort to make it special.

6. Grooming

While we have come a long way from the days of the cave man to being today’s sophisticated creatures, some men take it upon themselves to remind the world of the early man and his habits. Inadequate grooming, wearing clothes which look centuries old, unkempt hair, etc are not going to win you any brownie points with the fairer sex. They like their men well-mannered and presentable.

7. Arguments

This is something you want to avoid at all costs. All of us know who wins anyhow. Do not turn every conversation or discussion into an argument. Be patient and understanding. This brings to my next point…

8. Listen, listen, listen!

Woes befall you if you let your mind wander away during a conversation and missed out on what she was saying. We men are often accused of having short attention spans and not paying heed when a woman speaks. Classic case in point is the verbal grocery shopping list. Make it a habit, forcefully if needed, to listen to every bit of her incessant yapping. At least pretend for heaven’s sake.

9. Her friends, your friends. Only friends though!

Women like to test their men by observing how they socialize with their girl-friends. It’s a tough balancing act, trust me. On the one hand you have to appear friendly, charming and likeable to her friends. At the same time, pay a little extra attention than needed, and you’ll be accused of being a flirt. Tread carefully.

10. The wandering eye

While every woman loves the fact that her man appreciates her body, you’re going to have to look into her eyes when you talk. The last impression you want to create is that of a creep. Being a little gentlemanly never hurt anyone. Also, keep those eyes off other women, unless you want to take Angry Birds a little too literally.
