So you might have thought that Thanksgiving is not the sexiest of holidays, and you're probably right. Between family hovering over you, huge amounts of food rolling around in your belly, and the day long football fest, the last thing on your mind is probably sex.
But considering the message of Thanksgiving is all about "giving thanks," what better time to show your appreciation in the bedroom. Besides, it'll give you something to look forward to while you're trying not to kill your in-laws.
- Give thanks in the bedroom.
Chances are you're thankful for the same things every year -- your health, your family, your 17-inch dildo. Hmm, well, this year, show your thanks in the bedroom instead. Sure, the idea of getting it on with family around might not seem that appealing, but the combination of turkey and a series of parades and holiday movies should have your guests completely mesmerized. Sneak off for a quickie while they're all engrossed by the A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. Just make sure to leave out plenty of leftovers in case they get hungry.
- Recreate the first Thanksgiving
Given the historical nature of this holiday, what better way to celebrate than to reenact the first Thanksgiving. Well, sort of. Snag a sexy pilgrim outfit and a "Native American" get-up and see if your beads are an acceptable trade.
- Give yourself an excuse to indulge
When you get a hankering for another round of turkey and mashed potatoes, go for it. Sex burns calories, and if your Thanksgiving is like most of America's then you're probably slamming a few thousand in one sitting. But when you've got a sex appointment later on, then you won't have to feel guilty about taking another piece of pie.
- Sexify your meal
You'd be surprised to know that many of the typical Thanksgiving foods are actually aphrodisiacs*. Play around with your menu to ensure you'll get a proper thank you later on.
*The Mominatrix is not responsible for your in-laws doing it in your bedroom.
- Take advantage of the Black Friday deals
Did you think that the big sales only applied to GPS units and Christmas sweaters? Think again. You'll find a bunch of awesome deals at various online sex shops, no waiting in line required. So now's the time to add to your vibrator collection, or stock up on goodies for dirty Santa. And don't forget to shop the Mominatrix Holiday Gift Guide, where you can score 15% off on everything at Eden Fantasys.
Have a happy and sexy Thanksgiving, everybody!
