Come Together This Summer
What is it about Summer that is such a turn on?
The sunshine, the breeze, the fragrant flowers in bloom, the ripe fruits... A floating hemline or two, seawater drying on your bare skin, a feeling of optimism and adventure, an added heat and energy in the air, a little extra curiosity combined with a heightened sense of adventure... We can think of a few reasons.
We want to indulge in a few joys of Summer, and encourage you to explore the different ways to connect, share love and celebrate the power of intimacy…
FEEL THE HEAT, OR COOL OFF
Taking time to play this Summer is high on our agenda. Sensory play being high on our list of recommendations to explore - Taste, touch, sight, smell, sound - What role do they play for you?
This is a fantastic avenue of self-discovery, understanding your body in new ways. When you lose one sense, others are heightened. For example, lightly stroking the body with a soft feather tickler while your eyes are covered with a silk blindfold can have quite the effect.
It’s a wonderful time to be enjoying a little temperature play in the heat, especially with a luxurious toy or two in the mix. Start with the simple pleasures - A slowly moving ice cube will create a delightful response on a hot night ahead. For a little extra depth to your repertoire, try a Julian Snelling Rosebud dipped in ice cold water, or place it in the freezer for a while. Take your time, and savour every moment.
We considered the role the senses can play in your most intimate moments in ‘Sensory Pleasures’ - do take a look.
IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES
Creativity is such a wonderful expression of self, don’t you think? See this as vision boards and manifestation the Coco de Mer way… Collages, an erotic comic strip, drawing one another, sculpting, pottery - what if you were the canvas? Painting each other has an incredible sensuality. We’ll leave you to explore.
Or perhaps it’s a page turning summer of sapiosexual bliss that awaits - love letters, poetry, readings, writings, trying your hand at erotica… Warning: this may lead to other turns of hand - we can only hope.
You can read a Summer Reading List of ours here, for those so inclined.
Speaking of words - slightly less risqué but equally intimate, learning each other's love languages brings an incredible connection. Be it words of affirmation, quality time, gifts and tokens, acts of service, and/or physical touch - they all play a huge part in how we feel and how we communicate. Knowing each other’s love languages helps to understand ourselves and our loved ones on a different level, making communicating easier and fruitful in a myriad of ways - Discover how attractive these languages become long after the summer fades.
LISTEN UP
We thought we would help set the scene with our Summer Playlist… We will be adding to this throughout the summer, so send us your requests and recommendations - sharing is caring after all.
AL FRESCO ANTICS
The great outdoors has inspired unforgettable moments for millennia. The risk, the fun, the memories… The classic cocktail names…
Location is key, as is seclusion - a perfectly positioned tree, fittingly plentiful foliage, a quiet beach, a moonlit pool, a discreet balcony - the world is your oyster. Just keep in mind indecent exposure can come at a cost, so do behave somewhat accordingly, pleasure seekers…
And a little advanced planning will elevate the experience to no end - have a few of your essentials to hand, just in case - Divine Glow has never felt so blissfully discreet or practical as in moments like these.
Position yourself in a way that you can move slowly, building the momentum. Reverse Cowgirl, Downward Dog, Afternoon Delight, The Perch, The Plough are just a few suggestions, but don’t let us restrict your imagination…
Dressing for the occasion can add to the momentum, and give you a hidden secret to share at the perfect time - in a whisper, a touch, a glimpse - our Open Lingerie Styles could not be better suited for an al fresco scenario. We have also created a little Summer Edit to whet the appetite for all sorts of seasonal delights.
Spread the word of Love this season, in all its manifestations. We’re here to assist and encourage.
