WATCH THE VIDEO HERE You’ve heard of making a bucket list for your life—go skydiving; get a tattoo; finally read all the Game of Thrones books—but how about making a bucket list for your sex life? Whether you’re kinky, vanilla, or somewhere in between, experts say that identifying new things you want to try in the bedroom, and then challenging yourself to make them happen, can save you and your partner from getting trapped in a sex rut. “Most people fall into habits and patterns, which keep sex boring, but having a sexual bucket list reminds you of all the fun and diverse ways to keep sex hot,” says SKYN’s sex & intimacy expert Dr. Chris Donaghue, PhD, LCSW, CST, ACS. “This list forces couples to keep growing and challenge their complacency. Sexual exploration should be a life-long gift that keeps pleasure as a center point in our lives.” Before you start exploring, the mere act of compiling your sexual bucket list can help you bond with your partner. But what should you put on your list? “A sexual bucket list should be created based on all that one fantasizes about, watches in porn, and happily remembers from past sexual experiences,” Donaghue says. “The purpose of the list is a fearless inventory of one’s total sexual self—so pull inspiration from everywhere.” We know the options might seem endless, so we’re here to assist with a bunch of ideas—plus tips on how to pull them off like a pro.
