For a little kick to your kink, a local weekend getaway can be GREAT to keep the spark going in coupledom, and ranks near the top of the list of sexy things to do! It’s ALWAYS refreshing to get a change in scenery; two to four nights/days, and a short drive – between one and four hours – is all that’s typically needed to provide the feeling of “being away” from the fray. This seems so kindergarten, right? Yet so often, many forget that this little thing can make such a big difference in keeping things fresh, and helping to support continued exploration into sexual play.
Consciousness and I did just that just recently; we rented a cabin in the woods with the specific idea of a long weekend for just us and a LOT of play in mind! We chose a place and location that looked like few or no neighbors and had just enough things for us to do we enjoy (like hiking and other outdoor adventures) to keep us focused on just playing and FUN!
I packed a few things for our weekend away…
The reason I recommend picking someplace within driving distance, is mainly due to packing the toys; there are no luggage limitations, and no airport x-ray machines to worry about. Because of this freedom, I packed a good majority of our “gear”; I didn’t want us to not do something we wanted because we didn’t have it with us!
Finding a place that had some space and privacy allowed us to do what, when, where, how, and as loud as we wanted! This was a long weekend away just for us; contrary to how we typically vacation, we agreed to no schedules, and we were refreshed to not needing to accommodate anyone but the two of us.
And so the kink commenced… and a great time was had!
With the increasing amount of availability of BDSM-specific rentals, one might ask why we didn’t choose something like that (and for those who aren’t aware, YES, there are quite a growing number of these!). We did investigate a number of them, because we liked the idea of being able to use some larger toys that we don’t otherwise have available at home, like a St. Andrew’s Cross. However, in doing the research for the purpose of this weekend away, we decided we wanted to keep it within that 4-hour drive window, and we also wanted it to be a reasonably priced getaway. There were a few that looked really sexy and were tempting to try, but they either surpassed the driving distance window we set for ourselves, and/or the price was higher than we were looking to spend on this particular jaunt; for example, one BDSM-themed cabin we found looked great, but it would have been a 9-hour drive and cost $500 plus per night. Not this time around! However, we’ve bookmarked that place to try it out at SOME point in the future.
So, we decided that a plain ol’ cabin rental with some specific elements available would make for a great scening weekend. For example, the place we rented was a log cabin that had a large ottoman (great pervertable spanking bench), and a loft with a solid wooden rail… perfect for ropes and stand-up suspension similar to a St. Andrew’s Cross, even if we didn’t have one. We didn’t want to do full suspension (didn’t want to chance it in a place that wasn’t ours), but I packed enough rope to have her secured to the rafter overhead, and this definitely served its purpose! The place had a mountain overlook with a secluded deck – though there were cabins nearby, there were lots and lots of trees around, and no one or roads in line of sight – so we were able to have some great fun outside, too.
We returned home refreshed and renewed… and agreed that we’re going to start doing that with more regularity. It was a reasonably-priced great break from our regular day-to-day without being the often frenetic vacations we typically plan, and it gave us the space to play a little more extensively and with a little more creativity and variety than we often do. That long weekend refreshed us and allowed us to be and rediscover just that… US, with no holds barred!
So, keep this in mind: You don’t have to go to a retreat or a high-priced getaway to play and keep the sex life fresh! Make your own kinky weekend dedicated to your pleasure, which can be done with a simple premise and be made as decorative and playful as you’d like; take out the toys, play with the gear, get creative, and keep the fun going!
