Save the sweat for the bedroom. Your friends at Astroglide Personal Lubricants have come up with a few ways to beat the heat for your summer dating plans.

•  Suit up and hit the local water-park. You spent all spring getting your beach body back in action, so why not use it? The water-park is a great place to enjoy the sun, stay cool and have some fun together.
•  Washing a car doesn’t have to be a chore when you do it together. Strip down to your suits and don’t be afraid to get playful.
•  Put the keys in the ignition and get ready to drive. Drop the windows (or the top) and head out to the country. A scenic drive is a great chance to get to know each other. If you’re lucky, a secluded country pit stop might be a chance to really get to know each other.
•  Delectable dairy is a great way to cap off any date. Summer is the time for ice cream, and everyone loves ice cream. Make sure to save some whip cream; if you can take the date back to his or her place, you’ll get that cherry on top.
•  Add a little drama to the evening…the good kind. Seeing an outdoor play, musical or opera is a great way to enjoy a summer evening. In keeping with the theme, try a little role-playing of your own when you get to the bedroom.
•  Outdoor café? Got it covered! Try a new restaurant, preferably one with a covered outdoor café. You can enjoy the summer atmosphere without the sun beating down on your face, or enjoy the night air in a cozy, candlelit environment.
•  Drive-in movies are still the rage. You could go sit in a stuffy, crowded movie theater…or you could enjoy one from the comfort and privacy of your own car. Open the windows to let a summer breeze blow through—or close them and crank up the air conditioning for total privacy.

She said, “I have a praise. Two months ago,  my husband, Tom, had a  terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum  was completely crushed. The pain was excruciating and the  doctors didn’t know if they could help him.” �
 �
You could hear a  muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as  they imagined the pain that poor Tom must have experienced.  “Tom was unable to  hold me or the children,” she went on,  “and every move caused him terrible pain. We prayed as the  doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out  they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Tom’s  scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in  place.”
�
Again, the men in the congregation cringed and  squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible  surgery performed on Tom. “Now,” she announced in a  quivering voice, “thank the Lord, Tom is out of the hospital  and the
doctors say that with time, his scrotum should  recover completely.” All the men sighed with unified  relief.

The pastor rose  and tentatively asked if anyone  else had something to  say.

A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium. He  said, “I’m Tom Smith.”  The entire congregation held its  breath. “I just want to tell my wife the word is  sternum.”

Whether performing yard work, fixing things, grilling or helping the kids with homework, Dad wears many hats around the house. But when the lights go down and the kids are in bed this Father’s Day, plan on making it an extra special one with some tips from Astroglide Personal Lubricants.

 For fathers, celebrating the holiday with the person who shared in creating their family is every bit as important as celebrating with the family itself, so husbands and wives should work together to help Dad find a happy ending this Father’s Day.

For Wives

 Give him the good stuff – Your husband finds nothing sexier than a woman who knows her way around an electronics store. Okay, maybe he finds SOME things sexier. Regardless, if you’ve kept your ears open and buy him his newest dream toy, expect some “thank you” sparks to fly in the bedroom.

Tell me, what’s your fantasy? – You’ve lived with him long enough to know what his fantasy is; now, make it a reality. What’s the one thing he’s wanted to do in the bedroom that you’ve been saving for a rainy day? Well, today is that rainy day. Help make this a Father’s Day he’ll never forget.

Golf: the greatest gift of all – It’s a beautiful Sunday morning, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the course is calling—why not get some of the other wives together and book a tee-time for him and his friends?

Food really is the way to a man’s heart – His favorite dish is just the ticket to spicing up his Father’s Day. Whether it’s carryout, out on the town or home-cooked, make sure to have his favorite meal.

 Get “Busy” – Send the kids out for a movie or get a babysitter and head over to a hotel for the night. Whatever you do, find a bedroom where you can be as loud as you want without any disturbances.

 For Dads

 Work it out – Did you know that lifting weights also lifts the libido? Not that you need the lift. Plus  it helps increase energy and decrease stress levels which can lead to more fun in the bedroom. Hit the gym for an hour or two and blow off some steam.

Grab some sexy movies – Since you had children, having porn around the house has been difficult, but with the internet, there’s no need to have it laying around. This is your chance to get the wife in on some sexy movies. It might take some smooth talking, but we know you can convince her!

Take the day off – It’s Sunday and there are things to get done around the house. Against your better judgment, let those chores wait and take the day to relax with the family. Don’t forget to plan some special time with your lady.Similar Posts:

When you order a “Sex on the Beach” this Memorial Day weekend, you may get more than you bargained for. If you plan on making the coming weekend memorable for you and your significant other, you’ll want to spend the three days somewhere outside of your usual stomping ground. But, like many busy couples across the country, you haven’t had time to plan out a romantic getaway. Plane tickets are too expensive, anyway.

To really take advantage of the long weekend, follow some of these last minute travel ideas, courtesy of your friends at Astroglide Personal Lubricants.

• Emphasis on “bed” – In the history of mankind, has there been a more romantic getaway idea than packing the car and heading to a bed and breakfast? You might have a little more trouble booking one in the Hamptons, but there are plenty out there. Quaint and cozy, a bed and breakfast is a great place to book your days with shopping and picnics and your nights with—well, what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors.
•  By the beach, boy – What better way to bring in the summer than a nice, cold Sex on the Beach? How about a hot one? Head to the water this holiday weekend to spend some time in the sun and let your troubles melt away. A little stress relief and a lot of sun offer the perfect combination for getting in the mood.
•  Out under the stars – Dust off the tandem sleeping bag: it’s time to pitch a tent. Load the car with plenty of food to roast over the fire and lace up your hiking boots for the first solid camping opportunity of the summer. It’ll just be you, your significant other, chirping crickets and a black sky full of bright stars. After all, getting in touch with nature is a great way to get in touch with each other.
•  Room with a view – Maybe you aren’t a fan of the outdoors—but you can get some great views and some serious sun in the city if you find the right hotel. Look for a hotel with rooftop amenities, like restaurants, bars, pools and the like. If you want to get away from it all and have some romantic, stress free time with your significant other, you don’t always have to move horizontally. Think vertical to spice things up.

How Husbands and Wives Work Together to Make a Hot Mom

 With all the daily stress of being a mother, it’s sometimes hard to feel sexy. You’re constantly trying to juggle the daily responsibilities of your job, housekeeping and the kids, and no matter how much dad helps out, mothers can get caught in the daily whirlwind and forget what sexiness really feels like.

Mother’s Day rolls around once a year, and it’s as much a day to celebrate womanhood as it is to celebrate family. Husbands can play a crucial role in helping mom feel sexy, and moms can do their own part to celebrate their womanhood. Just follow a few simple tips this holiday, courtesy of Astroglide Personal Lubricants, and you’ll be on your way to a happy Mother’s Day.

 For Husbands

•  Compliment her already! – You’ve been married for HOW MANY YEARS? When was the last time you paid her a compliment? Whether it’s about her appearance, something she worked hard on or just a simple, everyday thing, compliment her and make her feel good about herself.
•  Flowers and lighting – If you decide to buy her flowers, make sure that you get a few extra that you keep separate from the bouquet so that you can sprinkle the petals on the bed for a sensual bedroom experience. Bring some candles into the picture for some moodlighting, or if candles aren’t your thing, replace one of two of the regular lightbulbs with soft colored ones for a change of scenery.
•  Buy her a beauty day – There is no better way to help mom feel sexy than by treating her to a day of beauty. Buy your wife a day filled with manicures, haircuts and massages to help her relax and get back in touch with her inner self.
•  Or you be the spa. Money is tight for many folks, so if sending her to a spa is out of the question, you can set up a hot relaxing bubble bath right in your own bathroom. Run the water for her, set the scene with some candles, flowers, her drink of choice and perhaps that latest best-seller that she’s been meaning to read. And after her bath, use her favorite body lotion and give her a full body massage . . . and take it as far as you want to go.
• Send her out with friends – Nothing like a night on the town with friends to get a girl back in touch with her femininity. Plan a girl’s night for your wife and her friends for some adult conversation and fun.
• Take her on a mini shopping spree at a lingerie store. There are inherent dangers in buying the wrong size and poor fitting lingerie for your leading lady, so it’s best to take her shopping for those special items. Even though it’s only you and she that get to see these goodies, knowing that she’s wearing beautiful, proper-fitting lingerie will not only lift her spirits but possibly her libido as well.

 For Moms

•  Find a new scent – Your sense of smell is strongly tied to emotion. Feeling like you need a change in attitude? Go out shopping and check out some new perfumes to put a little spring in your step and make you feel sexier around your man.
•  Shave…everywhere – Our daily activities usually don’t allow us the time to really get down to brass tacks. A hurried razorblade over the legs in the shower and we’re drying off and out the door! Take a little extra time to shave anywhere and everywhere you want to be touched. Be sure to invite your husband to explore all this new territory.
•  Dancing for him? No pole necessary! – A little striptease for your lover can go a long way in making you feel sexy again. Just remember, if you’re going to strip for him on Mother’s Day, you better have something extra special lined up for Father’s Day!
