Routines are the part of your day you do consciously at first and then, as second nature. You build these routines around what’s beneficial to you.
It’s the part of your life you dedicate to yourself.
When you establish an intimate wellness routine, you’re making a promise to take care of yourself. You’re trying things, cataloging your wants and needs, and actively nurturing those.
If you build a routine with a partner, you’re saying you want to keep the relationship alive.
Intimate wellness routines bring you closer to yourself, physically and emotionally.
At Goddess Naturals, we care about your intimate health. We belive we can guide you to form your own routine with these steps. So, let’s take a look.
What Is an Intimate Wellness Routine?
An intimate wellness routine requires consciously caring for your physical, emotional, and sexual state. By setting a series of steps to follow — whether daily, weekly, or monthly — you push yourself into a trance-like state of satiation, relaxation, and comfort.
Your intimate wellness routine can be done alone or with a partner. Either way, an intimate routine forges a deeper connection between your sexuality and your body and mind.
If you’re lost on how to start building your sexual wellness routine, Goddess Naturals has intimate products and steps you can use as a guide.
Try These Morning Ritual Ideas
Understandably, you’re busy in the morning. So, it’s best to keep your morning ritual light and limited to one or two items.
1. Practice Mindful Touch
This doesn’t have to be about sex. In fact, sensate focus, a type of sex therapy, demands it shouldn’t be about sex at first.
Set aside about 15 minutes of your morning. Sit facing each other and deem one person as the “toucher” and the other as the “receiver.”
Both partners should focus on the sensation without analyzing anything. Rather, focus on the sensations, such as whether:
- It’s cool or hot to the touch?
- Is it rough or smooth?
- Does the palm feel different than just the fingertips?
Reverse the roles after some time.
2. Take Health Supplements
Ask your partner to take one Goddess Natural’s Male Enhancement Capsule per day after breakfast. Enhancement capsules, when combined with a balanced diet and exercise, can improve stamina, blood flow, and libido.
If your partner isn’t too keen on following a wellness routine, this is one of the most non-invasive ways to improve their lifestyle.
Prepare Evening Wind-Down Rituals
You can skip your morning ritual, but never skip your evening ritual. After a long day, it’s exactly what you need.
1. Self-pleasure with lube
If your morning is for your partner, your evening after work should be set aside for yourself.
Grab a bottle of the CBD Infused Intimate Lubricant. We recommend a CBD-infused lube because it has physical and mental health benefits.
Cannabidiol or CBD can reduce swelling, discomfort, and pain. Since CBD can enter your bloodstream, whether you use it as lube or gulp down a capsule, it can also get your brain to relax and focus on the moment.
Grab a handful of CBD lube and apply it to your sensitive areas. You can grab a sex toy if your hands don’t feel enough.
It’s fine if you don’t orgasm. What’s important is keeping a dedicated time to exploring your body.
2. Journaling and Relaxation
After using a CBD-infused lube, you would already feel relaxed.
While you’re lounging, bring out the journal to note down your day. You can keep a casual diary, or you can specifically have a sex journal.
A sex diary is more focused, where you write about any sexual encounter or question you have in your mind.
Think about something you liked when you self-pleasured or something you didn’t. Write about the aftercare or your emotional state after.
Explore your thoughts on sex, inside and outside the bedroom.
Pre-Intimacy Prep Routine
As you start getting ready for the later part of your evening, there are some pre-intimacy steps you can follow with your partner.
1. Establish Your Safe Words
Safe words aren’t only for BDSM dynamics. Safe words are a safety net for both partners, regardless of the kind of sexual activity you’re engaging in.
You can use the traditional traffic light system, like red, green, and yellow, or you can come up with personal ones. Usually, red would mean to stop, green would mean to go on, and yellow would suggest the person is hesitant about the activity.
If you use your own, try simple words so you don’t forget them.
2. Perform a Massage
A massage is intimate and relaxing.
Turn off the lights and use scented candles to set the mood.
For massages, you can use a CBD lube or a warming lube. Better yet, if you can find a CBD-infused warming lube.
By the time the massage is done, you will find yourself all sensitive and aroused.
Post-Intimacy Self-Care Steps to Follow
Post-intimacy steps are as important as pre-intimacy ones.
But your aftercare routine should be simple, because you’re unlikely to have much energy left.
- If you don’t like all the fluids sticking to you, hop into the shower.
- Once you’re clean, you can set aside some time to cuddle with your partner.
- Keep a water bottle on hand and hydrate yourself from time to time.
- If your body feels particularly sore, try your hand at body oils. Ask your partner for a light massage and return the favor.
An extensive, intimate wellness routine like this can be complicated. You might find yourself forgetting the order of things.
You should get bundles like the ones from Goddess Naturals. Bundles help keep you on track and lay out clear steps for you.
Final Thoughts
You don’t have to follow the exact routine we recommended. Create your own. Mold it to what fits your day and schedule.
While a daily intimate wellness routine is most effective, even a weekly or monthly one can go a long way in improving your mental and physical health.
Most of all, the routine shouldn’t feel like a chore either. The end goal of the routine is to make you feel happy and relaxed. So skip any step that doesn’t align with the goal.
