This is the time of year for fantasy, tricks and treats. This is when children everywhere wear costumes and assume the identity of their favorite super hero or cartoon character so they can roam the neighborhood incognito and amass large quantities of candy. Some of us will accompany our children and even don an appropriate costume for the occasion. Others, who have not outgrown Halloween, will be part of an adult celebration where some will wear sexy costumes and everyone will enjoy goodies for grown-ups.

How will you celebrate Halloween? And if you enjoy the thrill of wearing a costume and assuming a new identity — especially in the bedroom — why wait for Halloween when you can play dress up any day of the year?

Many people enjoy role playing as part of their love play. It adds excitement and creativity to humdrum sex and as we have mentioned in the past, variety is not only the spice of life but an essential ingredient that must be added to any long term relationship — providing you want your connection to stay hot for years to come. Sexual role playing involves getting dressed up and acting out a scene with your partner that leads to some sexy high jinks. Maybe you like to dress up as a naughty nurse so you can examine your helpless patient who can’t get out of bed. Pop star Christina Aguilera has confessed to dressing up for sex and enjoying some sexual role play. She told Britain’s The Sun newspaper that she especially enjoys dressing up as a nurse!

Here are some tips for sexual role playing:

1. Plan ahead. Spontaneous sex can be fun, but role playing requires some advanced preparation. Picking out a costume and deciding on a storyline require some forethought. Once you get the hang of it, you and your love may enjoy getting into your roles spontaneously, but in the beginning, it is good to know the who, what, where, when and how of your role play. Decide on a theme (e.g., Prison Guard and Escaped Prisoner) and make sure that your lover is a willing participant in the fun. You can enjoy preparing your costumes together or surprise each other in the bedroom (or wherever else you may be role playing).

2. Explore your fantasies. Are you the boss at work, but secretly wish someone else would take control? Explore your sexually submissive side by letting your lover tie you up and pleasure you. Perhaps a robber has broken into your house and restrained you while going after your valuables… but was a little distracted by the family jewels. Try the Lover’s Super Strap – Lover’s Restraint Kit to fulfill your fantasy of being dominated. Or maybe you are a little shy, but you have always been intrigued by the idea of being a dominatrix or a master with a slave. Other role plays that involve power exchange are the teacher who has to give the sexy cheerleader detention because she was late to class or the man of the house and his French Maid.

3. Start small. Before you start putting together elaborate costumes or delving into the depths of your psyche to construct a sexy role play, follow Christina Aguilera’s lead and try the Party Time Naughty Nurse costume. Your lover does not need to prepare and you can surprise him with the sexy costume and tell him that he is your patient, so he better get in bed right away! We’re sure he will be happy to oblige. Russell Brand’s advice to Prince William and his bride Kate was “Spice up things in the bedroom by pretending to be French.” Try the Party Time French Maid costume and use your best French accent!

You see, dressing up and pretending is not just for Halloween anymore.

Now, whether you dress up or not this Halloween, you will inevitably see glow sticks or glowing Jack-o’-lanterns. How appropriate that California Exotic Novelties has adult pleasure toys that glow! Check out any of the Lighted Shimmers with brilliant LED lights to explore some fun ways to have fun in the dark of night, and who knows, you may even howl at the moon.

These will make the perfect “treat” on Halloween night!

Have a happy and safe Halloween and enjoy dressing up or playing hide and seek with some new glowing toys in the bedroom!

Warmly,
