Ajma Kemm Inħobb: 7 Tips To Spice Up Your Valentine’s Day
Whether your past Valentine’s dates have been a hit or miss, there’s always hope to make the next one more special.
This year Pleasure Malta and the Sex Clinic have come (pun intended) to the rescue. Introducing you to seven practical tips you might want to keep in mind for that one night (or more if all goes well):
1. Try a different sex position
Experimenting with different sexual positions in a relationship can be a fun and exciting way to spice up your intimacy and explore new sensations and experiences.
It’s important to communicate with your partner about what you both feel comfortable with, and to approach new experiences with an open mind and a sense of adventure.
It’s also important to prioritise safety, comfort, and consent in any sexual encounter. You can get more information about the psychology and physiology of sex here.
2. Get tested
You’ve been dating and would like to take the physical intimacy to the next level…be it Valentine’s and all….so why not book an appointment for STI testing to make sure that you are taking care of each other.
You can also get a professional kit and get tested anonymously. Getting tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) at the beginning of a new sexual relationship is a responsible and important step in protecting your sexual health.
Testing can help identify any infections you or your partner may have, allowing you to take appropriate steps to prevent the spread of STIs. Early detection of an STI can also lead to prompt treatment, which can help prevent long-term health complications.
It’s a good idea to discuss testing with your partner and make a plan to get tested together, so you can both feel confident and informed about your sexual health.
3. Add lube
Using lubricant during sexual activity can enhance pleasure and reduce friction and discomfort, allowing for a more enjoyable and comfortable experience for both partners. (Guaranteeing you can last longer)
Lube can also be useful for those with certain physical conditions, such as vaginal dryness, and can make sex safer by reducing the risk of condom breakage. It’s important to choose a lubricant that is safe and compatible with your chosen form of sexual protection.
To recap, lube does not only add to the juices, but it also makes sex safer and can help with some sexual issues that the couple might be experiencing. For high-quality (and VEGAN) lube they recommend this.
4. Go sex toy shopping
Buying sex toys together can be a fun and exciting experience for couples looking to spice their sexual experiences. It can also be a way to explore new desires and interests, and to improve communication in the relationship.
When buying sex toys, it’s important to consider factors such as personal preferences, comfort levels, and safety. You can research different types of toys, read reviews, and talk openly with your partner about what you’re looking for and what you both hope to get out of the experience.

5. Blindfold
Using a blindfold during sex can add a new level of excitement and pleasure by increasing anticipation, heightening the senses, and creating a sense of vulnerability. A blindfold can also help to facilitate role-playing and power dynamics within the relationship.
When using a blindfold, it’s important to establish clear boundaries and communication with your partner to ensure that everyone is comfortable and consenting. Safety should also be a priority, so be sure to choose a high-quality blindfold to never restrict breathing or circulation.
6. Book some Personalised Sex Educations sessions with experts
Learning about sex together can be a fun and educational experience for couples looking to enhance their sexual relationship. Whether through reading books, watching videos, or taking classes, education can help improve communication, deepen intimacy, and increase sexual pleasure.
Some couples may choose to explore new sexual techniques, positions, or fantasies, while others may focus on learning about sexual health and wellness. The most important thing is to approach the learning process openly and respectfully. You have to be willing to listen to and communicate with each other. And being respectful of each other’s boundaries and comfort levels.
It can also be helpful to set aside dedicated time for learning and exploration, so that you can focus on your sexual growth as a couple. The Sex Clinic has an international team of sex educators (both face-to-face and online) who can support you in this.
7. Have a sex marathon
And last but not least, call the in-laws and say that you’re skipping Sunday lunch. Stay in bed and have a sex marathon.
Every partner can get five objects that they want to use during sex. A sex marathon doesn’t mean non-stop sex. It can be lazing about, cuddling or being intimate. Spending prolonged time engaging in physical contact is known to help enhance intimacy, improve sexual confidence, and help the couple feel closer.
Pjur superhero can keep you going long enough so you can both enjoy this time together.
And we have not forgotten about all of you single ones out there. This Valentine’s day can also just be about you. Get yourself a toy and love yourself more than ever before.
