01. DO A ZEN DOUBLE HUG
Get supersnug with your anti-cuddle poster child and de-stress him with
this pose from Sue Benton, coauthor of Chi Fitness. Sit on the
floor against the couch with him between your legs (oh yeah, he'll love
that!) and facing away from you. Bend your knees. Wrap your arms around
him and put your hands on his shoulders. Slowly inhale together. Then
exhale and stretch his shoulders towards your chest. Repeat.
02. BE HIS NAUGHTY DISH
Ahh, fondue. With cheese dripping all over the place and limited
utensils, it's a man's dream meal. Try this recipe from Fiona Smith,
auther of Fondue: Boil 1/2 cup of dry white wine in a cast-iron
pot. Reduce to simmer, and throw in 1 1/2 cups each of grated Gruyere and
Swiss cheese, and 2 tsps. flour. Stir until creamy.
03. BLOW EACH OTHER'S MINDS
Wrap up together in a cozy blanket and do (okay, fine, attempt to do) the
Sunday crossword puzzle. Whoever drums up the magic final word gets to
request a dirty something that might not be found in a dictionary.
04. ESCAPE THE FAMILY FEUD
Spending Thanksgiving together? Slip away for a private post-dinner
stroll when the relatives get unbearably wacko...or Grandma asks how much
longer you two will be "living in sin". You'll have priceless material to
laugh over, plusthe brisk outside air will feel fabulous after being
cooped up all day...and it'll give you a prime opportunity to cling to
each other for warmth.
05. CURL UP FOR A CATNAP
If your guy partied the night before, you'll have no problem convincing
him to join you in a Saturday-afternoon siesta to reenergize for the
evening ahead. Joan Elizabeth Lloyd, author of Naughty Secrets,
suggests slumbering in something he'll love to touch (like a satiny
nightie) and spooning him awake. To do: Simply wiggle your behind to
stroke his money spot. Talk about a wake-up call! |
