Adult content can be tricky for couples to navigate. Not only is adult content a common interest, but exploring it together can also bring up a variety of other interests and fetishes that you may be keeping hidden from your partner. When you have a partner who is also a member of the same online community, it can be even trickier to keep your interests separate. Luckily, couples can explore adult content with a bit of planning and understanding of why it’s not just good for them, but also a good idea for your relationship as a whole.
Watching about taboo fantasies or explicit material for the first time can feel a bit like jumping into a pool of unknown and strange waters. Couples who are also partners should be able to understand this, and if you can banish the strange feeling, you can get your partner excited about exploring their new levels of intimacy with you. Here’s how to spice up your relationship with adult content for couples.
How to Spice Up Your Relationship with Adult Content
You’re in a committed relationship and you want to ease your partner into a new type of media. So, you decide to show them adult content together. Maybe you both agree that it’s okay to watch Mimi Boom and discuss what you see, but that it’s not okay to watch together and have sex. Maybe you both agree that it’s not okay to watch or have sex together at all, but that you can each watch on your own. No matter what approach you choose, you can spice up your relationship with adult content by following a few tips.
- Start with something you know your partner likes. For example, if your partner loves romance movies and loves kissing and cuddling throughout the movie, but you’ve never seen them do that before, you can start there.
- Create a safe space where you can talk about the content you’re watching. This might be a separate room or bathroom. You both don’t want someone overhearing your discussion about what you’re watching and you both don’t want to have to explain your sexual preferences to the other person.
- Create a space to process what you’ve seen. You might want to write down the plot or discuss the things you see in the scenes that are triggering or triggering for you.
- Actively engage with your partner about the content. You don’t have to agree with every detail or plot point in the content. You just want to actively engage with them about the content so that they don’t feel shut out or shut in.
- Be prepared for a discussion about boundaries and safety. Some people find it difficult to discuss boundaries and safety with each other when it comes to adult content.
