If you’re quarantined together:
1. Learn a dance
2. Watch porn together. Seriously.
3. Pick a novel and read it out loud to each other with snuggling and drinking wine, alternating who reads with each chapter. (That way, you both have time to take sips.)
4. Take a shower together (but first: our tips for non-awkward shower sex.)
5. Give each other erotic massages.
6. Have a stay-at-home picnic (with whatever you could scrounge up at the grocery store).
7. Play a game of strip scrabble. Whenever you get a six or seven letter word, your partner has to take an article of clothing off.
8. Bake cookies (or any delicious dessert).
9. If you have a backyard, play catch.
10. Lie down outside and stargaze together.
11... Or have an outdoor sleepover, if you also have a tent.
12. Build a pillow fort if you don’t have private outdoor access.
13. Surprise your partner with breakfast in bed.
14. Become your own bartender, and explore new drink recipes.
15. Have a karaoke night.
16. Play a game of Never Have I Ever. You’re bound to learn something new about your partner.
17. Have a wine-tasting night. (Bottle-O's are still considered essential businesses, FYI.)
18. FaceTime your in-laws with your partner. They’ll be happy to know that you’re taking good care of their daughter or son.
19. Sketch each other nude. After all, isn’t your partner your muse?
20. If you’re curious about pegging… there’s no time like the present.
21. Is pegging too much? Make a sex tape (with your partner’s consent, obviously).
22. Make a time capsule and put your favourite couple’s photos, love letters, and other special memorabilia.
23. Listen to a podcast together... May we suggest Men's Health Strength Sessions?
