Let’s be honest—long-term love is a vibe, but sometimes the sex part turns into more of a scheduled task than a spontaneous spark. Between back-to-back meetings, laundry piles, and your shared obsession with oat milk, it’s easy for desire to hit snooze.
But keeping intimacy alive? It’s not only possible—it can actually get better with time. Think: deeper connection, more trust, and yes, way better orgasms.
Here are 5 cheeky, research-backed tips to help keep your long-term relationships hot—and Playmate within reach.
1. Schedule Sex (Yes, Really)
Okay, we know—putting sex on the calendar sounds about as sexy as a dentist appointment. But hear us out: when life gets busy, intentional intimacy can be the difference between “goodnight babe” and “oh hello there.”
Carving out time doesn’t kill the mood—it sets the stage. Light some candles, put on that playlist, and turn your phone on Do Not Disturb (unless you’re using it to cue up your Playmate, in which case… carry on).
Pro tip: Give it a name. “Wine & Grind Wednesdays”? “Frisky Fridays”? Suddenly, it’s an event worth RSVPing to.
2. Explore New Sensations (This Is the Fun Part)
Desire loves novelty. Your brain’s reward center literally lights up when you try something new. Enter: the new era of sex wellness.
From sensory rituals to smart toys and high-quality ingredients, pleasure has had a serious glow-up—and Playmate Labs is here for the experience. Their aphrodisiac-infused Playmate Chocolate is designed to boost sexual energy, enhance mood, and get you both in the zone. It’s delicious, plant-based, and intentionally crafted to elevate intimacy—without the awkward side effects of old-school enhancers.
Think of it as foreplay that starts with the taste of chocolate… and ends wherever the night takes you.
Foreplay just got edible.
Handcrafted in the UK by artisan chocolatiers, Playmate Chocolate blends indulgence with intention. Infused with clinically-backed aphrodisiacs like maca and shatavari, each bite is designed to help you slow down, tune in, and turn each other on—naturally.
Whether you’re setting the mood for a slow Sunday or adding some heat to a midweek quickie, these chocolates are here to support relaxation, boost desire, and deepen connection. With three unique flavour profiles, it’s a sensual ritual you’ll actually look forward to.

3. Talk About Sex (More Than Just “Was It Good?”)
Open communication is the ultimate foreplay. We’re talking real talk—fantasies, turn-ons, boundaries, awkward stuff, spicy stuff, all of it.
Normalize saying things like:
• “I’ve been thinking about trying something new—can I share?”
• “That thing you did the other night? More of that, please.”
• “Should we try a toy next time?” (Psst… this is your cue to introduce Playmate Labs like a total pro.)
When you feel safe being curious, desire has room to grow. Plus, talking about sex = thinking about sex = more sex. Science!
4. Flirt Outside the Bedroom
Don’t underestimate the power of a spicy text in the middle of a boring Tuesday. A flirty glance across the kitchen. A “just because” butt grab while brushing your teeth.
Desire doesn’t just live under the sheets—it builds in the little moments. Send a “can’t wait for later 👀” while they’re at work. Or tease them with a pic of your Playmate charging on the nightstand.
Want to level up the vibe? Break out Playmate Chocolate —our aphrodisiac-infused treat made with maca, shatavari, and a hint of magic. Share a square before your next date night or feeding it to each other as pre-foreplay foreplay. It’s equal parts indulgent and intentional.
5. Make Pleasure a Shared Priority
Let’s make this clear: good sex isn’t about performing—it’s about connecting. And that means turning the spotlight from “how it looks” to “how it feels.”
Try something new. Laugh if it gets awkward. Make pleasure the goal, not perfection. When you both feel safe to explore, that’s when the real magic happens.
And remember: desire doesn’t need to look like it did in the honeymoon phase. It can look like slow mornings, deep talks, or feeding each other aphrodisiac chocolate in your underwear at 11am on a lazy Sunday.
Final Thoughts: Desire Grows When You Feed It
Keeping intimacy alive isn’t about doing more. It’s about being more present, more curious, and more willing to try new things (especially ones that buzz or melt in your mouth).
Whether it’s scheduling sexy time, indulging in aphrodisiac chocolate, or leveling up with your Playmate Air, your pleasure journey is yours to write—and the best chapters might still be ahead.
