The Four Hour Sex Date

Life gets busy. Work piles up, texts go unanswered, laundry stares at you passive-aggressively, and somehow—despite the love—you and your partner start to feel like well-coordinated flatmates rather than lovers.

Enter: The Four-Hour Sex Date.

Yes, you read that right. Four uninterrupted hours each week, set aside for nothing else but intimacy. No phones. No errands. No Netflix. Just you, your partner, and an agreement that this time is sacred.

Why Four Hours?

Because sex—good, connected, soul-awakening sex—isn’t just about penetration. It’s about presence. It’s about melting into each other slowly. It’s about massage oil on warm skin, whispered fantasies, deep eye contact, and those connected moments between the moans.

This isn’t a race. It’s a sensual marathon.

Build Anticipation All Week

Once you lock in your weekly sex date—say, every Sunday from 8pm to midnight—you begin to notice something magical: anticipation. That sly grin exchanged mid-week. The extra thought you and your partner put into grooming. The playful texts. The knowledge that something delicious is coming.

It becomes a shared secret. A build-up. A tease. And the brain, being the biggest sex organ of all, laps it up.

Create the Space

Don’t just fall into bed. Curate the experience.

• Put the time aside. At home, at a hotel if your 'pleasure budget' allows, if you have kids...put them to bed first.

• Phones off (unless it's to take photos!)

• Light some candles.

• Pick a sexy playlist.

• Lay out your favourite toys, lubes, or restraints.

• Wear something that makes you feel like a walking orgasm—or wear nothing at all.

• Give each other a slow, intentional massage. Let hands explore before lips do.

• Practice kissing like it’s your first date… or your last.

You’re not performing. You’re immersing.

It’s Not All About Penetration

In fact, penetration can come late—or not at all. Four hours gives you the freedom and luxury of redefining what sex means, and it must be a minimum of four hours...no cheating.

Massage. Oral, long...edging...lingering oral. Feather-light touching. Watching each other. Playing with power dynamics. Talking dirty. Laughing. Cuddling. Toy play. Eye-gazing. Showering together. And yes—penetration, if and when it happens, becomes the crescendo… not the entire act.

Keep the Fire Going

Here’s the kicker: the foreplay for next week can start as soon as this week’s four hour sex date ends. This is the mantra my partner and I live by. Always flirting. Maybe it’s a cheeky flash in the hallway. A whispered memory of what they did with their tongue and how you felt. Or a casual brush of your hand as you walk past that says to them: “Just wait ‘til Sunday.”

This weekly ritual doesn’t just spice up your sex life—it keeps your relationship deeply connected, intimate, enduring, and alive.

Something you will begin to notice before long...four hours will become five, and you cant wait until next week.

So schedule it fellow Muses. Honour it. Protect it.

Your love, and your libido, deserve it....every week.
