New Year, New Things to Try In Bed: 5 Tips to Start the Year Right

For Solo Explorers

Solo Roleplay

Who said roleplay is only fun with an audience? You can be your own spectator in your little private show—with mirror play. Watching yourself embodying a character or acting out a scenario can be very arousing. Go ahead and wear sexy lingerie or wigs and be anyone you desire to be.

But remember, roleplay is about more than playing a character. We often see it as people acting in different personas or wearing costumes. And while that is true, it’s also about expressing yourself and, in turn, getting to know yourself better. 

One of the new things to try in bed should be exploring what you like (and don’t like) by doing and being whoever and whatever you want! The new year is the perfect time to feel good and be empowered.

Audio Erotica

The brain is the biggest erogenous zone, so you should never underestimate the power of your imagination.

Listening to an erotic story should be on your bucket list of fun things to try in bed this year. Set the mood with some low lighting or you can even light up some candles for that extra ambiance. Your imagination alone is enough to keep you company. Have your mind running wild with ideas of all things you find sexy.

Of course, pairing them with your favorite toys will make the experience more immersive. Try using vibrators and match the story’s pace with the vibration’s intensity or speed. For example, start with a slow speed that increases as the story’s tensions rise.

For Couples (or Groups!)

Play Games

Gamify it up. Make the most of having a companion—whether it’s one, two, or more—by playing games. Trying new things in bed can sometimes feel intimidating, but they don’t have to be! Using adult card games is a fun way to reduce tension and pressure. 

You can turn the heat up with sexy dares and kinky challenges to let go of the initial shyness. It keeps things light and playful while building trust with your partner or group. 

Aside from card games, you can try dice and board games. Those little challenges serve as prompts to try out some scenarios and acts. Plus, you might feel more comfortable saying yes or laughing it off with a “maybe next time” since it’s all part of the game.

Remote-Controlled Toys

Other fun things to try in bed with partners include incorporating some remote control vibrators and other toys. Leaving your pleasure in the control of others is kinkier—you can’t anticipate the intensity or speed they’ll go with. The teasing and unexpected pleasure will get you hornier, making it one of the most exciting new things to try in bed.

You could always try being more adventurous by doing this outdoors. But you can always start exploring right in the comforts and safety of your own home by having your significant other/s in another room. The anticipation alone and the element of surprise are enough to heighten the intimacy!

Afterglow Essentials

Like the lingering euphoria after a New Year’s celebration, no one gives much thought to the party’s clean-up when looking to try new things in bed. Just because the main event is over, some people overlook cleaning up and afterglow essentials.

For the new year, make it a resolution to take care of yourself and your toys better after the deed. Clean your toys with a gentle toy cleaner to keep them sanitized and safe for your next adventure. And don’t forget to store your toys in their cases to avoid collecting dust and attracting prying eyes!
