A bedroom is the most personal room in the house. Many people say the bedroom has two basic purposes. It is for sleeping and of course the more intimate activities which primary involved lovemaking.

It should reflect your personal taste. This may mean a Lazy Boy in the corner or a mirror on the ceiling or both.

After a while some folks find the bedroom a place to relax, read a good book and just close out the rest of the world. They want to be alone. They want seclusion.

Most sexually active adults are always prepared for love making or at least should be. Most of the time this results in the first purpose of the room, which is to sleep. If a person of your choice ends up in your bedroom and they are not there in some service capacity such as a plumber, painter or what ever we can assume they are there for the established reasons of sleep or lovemaking. (But then some plumbers and painters look pretty good…)

A bright sunny room during the day can be made cozier by closing the blinds. If it’s at night, candlelight or a scarf placed over a dim light can create a romantic glow even in a dull room. A drop or two of scented oil on a cold light bulb can release an unforgettable fragance once the light is on.  Keep the lights on; you’ll be surprised at how exciting this can be.

If you aren’t proud of your body, ladies should wear something lacy, a little something to stimulate the imagination. Flannel nightgowns are not recommended and gentleman lets face it, there are sexier things out there for men then boxer shorts.

The bed should be big enough to allow adequate room for comfort and any spur of the moment change in position. .

Privacy is important. It might is a little shocking to have grandkids run into the bedroom while grandma and grandpa are “wrestling”. Most likely the thump you hear will be your own kids hitting the floor. After all they all think they were born of Immaculate Conception. We have all heard the saying that just because there is snow on the roof doesn’t mean there isn’t any fire in the basement. I have always felt that sex as we get older is like fine wine. You might not enjoy it as often but it’s definitely sweeter with age and as long as we are breathing we think about sex.

Let's face it; sex requires some physical effort and not many of us are ready to hop up immediately afterwards so it’s best to expect a time to recuperate. So consider the needs of your partner and your self in regard to sleeping.

If you have a heart condition just make sure you have your bottle of Nitroglycerin on the nightstand and the number for the paramedics, written in large numbers. If you or your partner needs help you don’t want to loss valuable time looking for your glasses.  Very few people have heart attacks while engaged in sexually activity with their spouses If by chance you are under the sheets with someone to whom you aren’t married to, it might be a good idea to check every once in a while to see if they are still breathing.

If they aren’t breathing, call the paramedics, start CPR and grab the scarf off the lamp and scoot into a flannel nightgown or pajamas.  Shove the sexy stuff under the bed. No one will suspect a thing and I am certainly not going to say a word.
