Getting Frisky:
In between a kiss and sex is the frisky stage. Like the first
luscious bite of an ice cream cone on a hot summer day, getting frisky while
anticipating greater things to come, is simply sweet in itself. The blood
boils, the heart races, the hands explore, and the head is a-spinning!
It’s fun to see how much heat you can generate with your clothes still on.
Bellefleur Lingerie Boutique: For the ladies: go down and buy a new leopard print bra, and this time, don’t save it for weekend wear. Let the strap slip out (accidentally-on-purpose) show a little hint of the pattern...and cha-ching! Sometimes, those junior-high cheap thrills are the best ones.
Tango Dancing: Take some tango dance lessons, it’s like three hours of foreplay. A mix of that Latin heat in a sensual playground. Wow, how the mind can wander in pleasant directions on this one!
Submarine Races: It was good back in high school, and it’s still good now. Luckily, we have a lot of parks along the water, such as Madison Park. Now go down there, put on an Aerosmith soundtrack, and steam up the windows. When’s the last time you’ve had a hickey?
