Valentine’s Day Ideas to knock their knickers off
Struggling to think of a Valentine’s Day idea to make this year extra special? We know Valentine’s Day is one of the most important days of the year for showing love and appreciation in relationships… and it’s a great excuse to get down and dirty! There’s no need to panic though, because we’ve got the perfect ideas to heat up your Valentine’s and help you find the perfect expression of love and lust to make your partner swoon.
Due to the COVID pandemic and the recent cost-of-living crisis that affected and is still affecting many of us, for the last few years, Valentine’s Day has fallen to the back of our minds…
During last year’s Valentine’s Day period, 50% of people said they spent less on gifts due to financial concerns. But don’t worry! If you’re finding your Valentine’s Day ideas are running out, we’ve got 3 suggestions which are sure to delight, and not break the bank.
Our 3 Sexy Valentine’s Day Ideas:
1. Roleplay – Get into Character!
We talk about roleplay a lot here on the Pulse & Cocktails blog because we advocate for sexual and intimate exploration!
Roleplay is a great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day as it encourages communication, self-love, self-expression, and sexual freedom. Perfectly explained by elitedaily.com, roleplay helps individuals to ‘escape reality whilst being encouraged and supported by a partner’. Meaning, roleplay is not just about sexual gratification (but it can be a big part of it!), it is also about the mental experience.
By getting into a character, you and your partner can gain the confidence to try new things in the bedroom. For example, many enjoy the cop and robber roleplay as there are clear dominant and submissive roles with fun accessories to help you fall into the fantasy. Remember, this Valentine’s Day idea doesn’t have to be about sex, roleplay can also be about exploring each other’s bodies and encouraging communication.

2. Cocktail Night
In need of a fun activity that you don’t have to go out for? Why not try a stay-at-home cocktail night?
Creating your own cocktails with a partner can be an incredibly sexy and fun activity to get your creative juices flowing whilst enjoying a delicious drink.
Our favourite element of this Valentine’s Day idea is you and your partner can make it as fancy or as laid back as you want to. Feeling in a sexy mood? Light some candles and get on your best bartender outfit or lingerie. Want a more relaxed evening? Get a takeaway and mix some delightful cocktails whilst sitting on the couch.
Don’t know what cocktails to make? We’ve got you covered with this delicious list from Cocktail Mag:
- Sex on the beach: Vodka, Peach schnapps, Cranberry juice and Orange Juice.
- Orgasm: Kahula, Amaretto and Baileys.
- Peach and Love: Lemon juice, Peach Nectar and Cider.
