There are far too many excuses not to get intimate during the holiday season. With the stress that goes along with preparing your house or packing or buying gifts, evening if you’re having a smaller get together for the season, it can still take a lot out of your. Unfortunately, one of the first things to suffer is your sex life. What’s crazy is that sex is one of those few things that can naturally relieve stress and release dopamine and oxytocin in the brain.

Regardless of the scientific fact that getting down when the stress is up, bedroom playtime takes a back seat to gift giving, cleaning, and other responsibilities that seem to take over during the most festive time of year; couple that with kids, parents and others who can spoil sexy time, a lot of folks just tend to keep it in their pants.

But hey, that’s no fun. There ARE ways to get kinky despite the arrival of Chris Cringle. First, make a game of being quiet! Whether it’s whippin’ out the ole’ ball gag and bondage collar or forcing a sub not to say a word, silent sex can be enjoyable to all!

Change locations! Don’t want someone to walk in on your tying up your partner? Take it to the car, closet or some other inconspicuous place there you can get down on the low down.

Whatever you do, don’t resist your urges this season! You’ll be able to relieve stress and have a lot more fun than you normally would. Grab a bondage collar, cuff, gag, whip or whatever and go to town!
