How do you make date night special? It isn’t easy to come up with new and exciting ways to be romantic with your partner(s) when you’ve been together for years or with a new partner who you want to impress. Even the best ideas can get stale fast.
Here are some sexy and simple ideas on how to plan the perfect kinky picnic this summer!
Find the Right Spot
Depending on how much of an exhibitionist you and your partner(s) are, you will want to find a somewhat secluded space that’s still reachable—meaning you can get there and back in a reasonable amount of time. If your hookup space is too far out, you won’t have time to escape if things go south, so pick somewhere you can make it back to your car in 10 minutes or less.
Trees are a good bondage prop. Trees provide shade on hot summer days, but they also give you something sturdy to tie someone up with, but be careful where you tie people up—you don’t want anything nearby that could cut rope or damage the skin. Be sure to check the sturdiness of a branch before engaging in using it as a way to support the weight of your partner(s).
Spots with water can provide a nice way to cool off and can serve as a place for a nice nude dip together. However, we do not advise bondage when in the water. You could be asking for a serious fatality if something goes wrong.
Packing the Picnic Basket
This can be a very fun part of planning a kinky picnic, but also a bit overwhelming. Here is our basic checklist to help get you started in the right direction!
- easy sex toy storage & safety to carry bag with plenty of storage
- light snacks and hydrating drinks (kinky tip: pack peeled slices of ginger or a thermos of ice cubes to place on private parts for a little extra pain and pleasure. Be sure to check if your partner(s) may have a food allergy to ginger)
- bondage ropes and rope cutting scissors
- whip(s) and or paddle(s)
- candles for wax play (Use caution when playing with fire in nature. Make sure to keep the flame in sight at all times and keep water close by just in case)
- blindfold
- a camera (with your partners’ consent of course) to capture the raw erotic moments in nature
- a favorite sex toy or two (read our sex toy storage & safety suggestions on how to travel and use sex toys safely)…
don’t forget the lube! - wet towel in a wetbag already prepared with soap to get anything big and messy off, and sanitary wipes for the smaller dirty jobs 😉
- a waterproof blanket to lay on in case the ground is wet
- your favorite massage oil of choice (we personally love this almond massage oil because it leaves the skin vibrant and soft without any gross residues or odors afterward)
- mosquito repellant and sunblock for those of us who burn easily and the mosquitos love to dine on our blood
- a change of clothes
Surprising Your Partner
This can be a very simple but fun way to make the date even more memorable. Finding the spot and packing ahead of time can make it even more exciting and fun! If you are the dominant in your relationship, you can instruct your submissive on what you expect them to wear without giving away all the fun!
Better Safe Than Sorry
Nothing can ruin the mood more than an emergency you are unprepared for. Make sure you are prepared for any mishaps by packing safety scissors, a simple first aid kit, and plenty of water. Thinking about all the little details can make a world of difference when it comes to maintaining a safe space for the mood and experience for you and your partner(s).
