At Home Date Ideas
Sometimes when we think of dates, even at home date ideas, we tend to think it needs to be time consuming and laborious.
Dates don’t need to be this big ass expenditure all the time!
You can have just as much fun, quality, and intimate time at home with your partner as if you were at a concert, maybe even more!
Time to take the pedal off the metal and try some light, fun and intimate at home date ideas.
1. Do a Lego Kit
Legos are so much fun, whether you are doing a small project alone or taking on a massive project with your friends.
Attempting a Lego kit at home as a couple is one of the best at home date ideas.
If you do one like this Vincent van Gogh Starry Night Lego Kit, you can display it in your home once your done!
2. Temporary Tattoos
I love the idea of giving each other fun and sexy temporary tattoos!
There was this scene in A Walk to Remember (a MUST watch btw) when Shane West gives Mandy Moore a super cute temporary butterfly tattoo.
He was incredibly gentle and tender. When he was done, he blew on it, and I thought it was the sweetest and most romantic thing ever!
It’s a fun and intimate way to connect and explore each other’s bodies at home.
Find temporary tattoos you both like and try them out!
3. Cannabis Testing
Growing up in Southern California, I am highly liberal on my stance with good ole cannabis!
I love it for a variety of reasons. It helped me achieve my first org*sm during sex if you’ve read my How to Enjoy Sex With Your Husband and Feel Sexy, and it’s been godsent for my insomnia, anxiety, ADHD, and meditation.
Exploring different strains together, such as indicas, sativas, or hybrids, can be fun at home.
Think of it as beer or wine testing, but with Bud! It’s much easier on your body, too, and it’s hangover-free! Woop, Woop!
Of course, check if it’s legal where you live.

You can make vision boards of your ideal vacation, wedding, home, job or whatever!
Creating visions together will totally bring you closer in intimacy as a couple.
It’s a great way to motivate yourself about your goals and endeavors, and you can display your vision boards anywhere in your home.

The snuggling will release all those feel good bonding hormones and the nap will leave you both feeling restored.
15. Start a Backyard Garden
This is one of the at home date ideas that keeps on giving!

Henna art is a fun and creative activity to do together.
It’s not permanent, so painting pretty designs are art on your bodies can be a lot of fun. Especially during summer time!

Tantric Yoga is a phenomenal precursor to Tantric Sex.

Tantric yoga is a deeply intimate and spiritual practice that combines elements of yoga, meditation, and the principles of tantra, a philosophy that emphasizes personal growth and deepening connections.
It’s hella intimate and sensual and perf for fostering a healthy, loving and in sync sex life.
I especially recommend this if you have been struggling to enjoy sex and org*sm.
21. Have Tantric Sex
I figured I had to had tantric sex to the menu of at home date ideas!
Gurl and honestly, if y’all got hella time, Tantric sex is freaking amazing!
It’s a great way to deepen your relationship and sexual bond with each other.
Tantric Sex is about forgoing traditional “mating sex” which is about achieving org*sm asap, to being about the journey and holding off on climax.
The longer you hold off, the better and more sensitive it feels and holy moly, the sex just gets better!
Of course, it doesn’t mean you can’t climax at all, it’s just about intentionally delaying it to prioritize the sexual pleasure of the journey not just the end game.
If you’ve read my 21 Best Tips For Better Sex With Your Husband, you’ll know I suggest Tantric sex for more sexual arousal in women!
22. Engage in Role Play Sex
My husband and I started watching Step by Step again recently and noticed the couple insinuates regular role play with a burglar/helpless housewife fantasy!
I kinda loved they were promoting role playing in a healthy light between a married couple with kids during the 90’s!
Role play for sex is super fun and a great way to keep the spice alive in your relationship.
Whether you have a burglar/housewife fantasy like Frank and Carol from Step by Step, or you thoroughly enjoy being punished by the professor for being a naughty school girl once again!
Keep it light, safe and consensual. ✌🏽

It was so freaking sweet, romantic, tender and sexy It’s a travesty they removed it!
Taking a bath together is incredibly sensual and intimate.
It’s also a great way to warm each other up before sex.
Wash each other down with hydrating and soothing oil soaps that will leave you smelling fresh and ready!
Not only that it’s the optimal choice for last minute date ideas.

If neither of you know how it’s a fun way to start. You can make yourself some drinks, put on some sweet tunes like Whiskey Blues to really set the ambiance.
If you both like it, you can make it a weekly or monthly habit and eventually double date with friends for a poker night.
30. Paint Together
If you are both more on the creative side, painting together is really fun and decompressing.
You both can create a piece together or separately. Then when you’re done hang it up!
31. Practice Acroyoga
Remember in Dirty Dancing how Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze had to do “The Lift” move in their dance where he quite literally lifts her whole body up in the air over his head as she spreads her arms like an eagle flying?
They practice it in the lake in the movie and is incredibly intimate.
Acroyoga is less about nailing poses and more about building trust and deepening your connection.
Think of it as a trust fall with style. You lift, balance, and support each other, blending physical strength with emotional bond.
It’s fun, it’s challenging, and yes, it’s a bit sexy too. Perf for couples looking to turn up the heat and tune into each other’s rhythm.
It’s also a cool party trick!
32. Start a Love Note Journal
When my husband and I got married, we got a really pretty leather journal where we wrote our vows.
We also wrote love notes to each other, our goals for the year as a couple and what we are really into or working on now.
We add to the journal every year on our anniversary. It’s cool to see our relationship evolve over the years.
What’s also great is we can give it to our daughter as a keepsake of our life. It has all our handwriting, love notes, passions, goals, and everything!
When looking for fun ideas for an anniversary date, try an annual love note journal!
Highly recommend.

If you aren’t religious, take the time to practice gratitude together and share what you love and are grateful for.

Take a trip down memory lane and reminisce over your favorite sexual sessions together!
