If you're looking to brighten up your holiday weekend, here are some ways to create fireworks in your bedroom this Fourth of July! THE OPENER (HERE: FOREGAME)
Every good fireworks show has an opener. You know, the occasional bottle rocket that bubbles into the air just before nightfall and lets people know... it's time. There's nothing sweeter than anticipation, and the same goes for sex! Let foreplay be your opening act to let your partner know things are about to heat up!
TRY A STEAM MASSAGE:
Without a doubt, a sensual massage is one of our favorite ways to create sparks in the bedroom! There's no better path to sex than skin-to-skin contact and the stress that melts away with every caress. Incorporate HeLi Massage Oil infused with Hello Libido or textured massage gloves into your massage to add another dimension of seductive sensations!

WATCH PORN TOGETHER:
There's no shame in porn play, baby! Chances are both you and your partner have watched pornography before, separately. So why not together? Watching porn with a partner can be a huge turn-on and can also help foster communication about each other's likes and dislikes and spark ideas for new things to try. Sharing the excitement of what you're seeing on screen makes what's about to happen in real life that much more interesting!
THE MAIN ACT (AKA: SEX)
Things are really starting to heat up! Sex is like a fireworks show in more ways than one. It's always "good," but there's a difference between a Disney show and a city park. If you want the former, here are our tips on how to fan the flames!
ADD A VIBE:
A study published in The Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy finds that 36% of women need clitoral stimulation during intercourse to achieve orgasm. Adding a vibrator to the mix will not only provide clitoral stimulation during penetrative intercourse, but if your partner has a penis, using a couples toy likethe Double Feature can also make his erection last longer. If you're unsure how to approach the topic with your partner, read our tips on introducing sex toys into the bedroom.
MAKE A NEW POSITION:
We don't know who needs to hear this, but there's more to life than the missionary position. Switch it up and try something new! (Maybe even something you saw in that porn you watched earlier?) If you need some inspiration, check out what people had to say when we partnered with OnePoll and asked Americans what their favorite sex positions are.
THE GRAND FINAL (AKA: THE BIG O)
It's the moment everyone has been waiting for. Just like a stellar fireworks display, the grand finale of your night in the sheets should end with a bang! We promise, after these last few tips, you and your partner will be seeing stars!
ADD AN UPGRADE:
One of our newest products to enhance your big O is ExciteMint! Make the night sizzle and bring tantalizing warmth with Excitemint Clitoral Warming Gel. Formulated with niacin and stimulating botanicals like clove and peppermint, this warm, tingling formula heightens sensation, so every touch excites and delights. Better yet, it's potent enough for your partner to enjoy too!
A NEW WAY TO O:
There's no "right" way to achieve the big O. If you have a vagina, you probably achieve your orgasms with clitoral stimulation. If you have a penis, penetration is probably enough. Mix it up and find new ways to orgasm! Try a vaginal vibration to experience the legendary G-spot orgasm, or try Midnight Desire to stimulate the prostate for a mind-blowing finale.
