December is usually one of the most beautiful times of the year. Beyond it being Christmas season, it’s the end of the year – a time when people retire for the year, spend time with family, reevaluate the year, and reset for the coming year. As anticipated and wonderful as it can be, it can also be overwhelming.
Family visits. Noise. Full houses. No privacy. And intimacy, for some couples, slowly moves to the backseat
Intimacy is more than sex
During busy seasons, intimacy doesn’t always look like intercourse.
It can look like:
- Lingering hugs
- Private conversations at night
- Soft touches in passing
- Shared laughter
Small moments matter
You don’t need hours alone.
You need intentional moments:
- Waking up before others
- Locking the door for 10 quiet minutes
- Sending flirty messages during the day
Be intentional about your intimacy
Plan and protect your connection. Schedule activities for different types of dates, including a sex date night. Even if it’s just an hour, dedicate it to each other without distractions.
Ideas include:
- A cozy movie night after everyone is asleep
- Morning coffee together before the house wakes up
- A playful game that ends in laughter and touch
- A scheduled night focused on intimacy and pleasure
Protect your connection
The festive season should add joy, not distance.
When you protect intimacy and plan for it, you protect your bond.
Even when family is around.
Make it fun and playful
The festive season is also a great time to explore playful ways to connect. Try:
- Surprise notes or messages for your partner
- Sensual massages
- Small gifts or gestures that excite and delight
