Couple Time: 5 mindful rituals for more closeness, sensuality connection
(Naturally Naughty – Part 2 of 2: Couple Time)
Winter brings us closer together.
More time indoors, more physical contact, more shared moments.
But true intimacy doesn't just happen – it happens when both people are ready to be present.
- To listen.
- To be felt.
- To open up.
This guide is for you:
For couples who consciously want to create closeness without pressure, without expectations, without roles.
Just the two of you. Here & now.
We'll show you 5 mindful couple rituals that strengthen body, trust and connection – inspired by Safer Space , mindfulness and natural sensuality.
1. Checking in together: A “we” yes
Before closeness can develop, clarity is needed – from both sides.
Instead of jumping right in, take a minute:
"How are you feeling today?"
"What do you need?"
"What would make you feel good today?"
An honest conversation opens doors, prevents misunderstandings, and puts you on the same wavelength.
Mini-ritual:
Sit opposite each other.
One hand on your own body, one in your partner's hand.
A shared breath.
A conscious one:
"We agree today."
2. The Outfit Moment: Let each other choose.
This isn't just about eroticism – it's about genuine connection.
You decide together what you wear or take off:
a shirt, a bodysuit, underwear, a loose shirt – or simply skin.
The appeal lies in the ritual , not the look.
It creates attention, presence, and a feeling of "We are shaping this moment together".
Tip:
Everyone is free to make the other person's choice.
Always with a loving: "Do you agree?"
3. Your shared safer space
A space changes how we interact with each other.
Instead of simply "ending up in the bedroom", consciously design your shared space:
• dimmed light
• Music that carries you both
• Heat (blanket, hot water bottle, body heat)
• a pleasant fragrance or candle
• Ginger sensuality boost
• and very important:
👉 Put both phones in airplane mode
Couple Time means:
No distractions. No news. Just her.
4. Breath & Touch: Connection without words
Sit next to each other or opposite each other.
Place your hands on a part of your body that feels comfortable to you – stomach, chest, thighs, hips.
Start by synchronizing your breathing :
A.
Out of.
Slow.
Together.
Don't touch each other until later.
Slow.
Consciously.
Not targeted.
This moment creates more intimacy than any "action".
5. Warm & tingling: Intimate touch with mindfulness
If the energy is there, touch each other:
with hands
with heat
with pressure
with proximity
with breath
with glances
or – if you like – with a little naughty twist :
Naturally Naughty Ginger Spray or ginger oil.
Warm.
Sparkling.
Naturally.
And always consciously.
Important:
Ask quietly in between:
"Is that good for you?"
It keeps the space safe, delicate, and honest.
Mindfulness prompt for couples:
Sometimes one person feels it more, sometimes the other.
Sometimes it's wild, sometimes it's gentle.
Sometimes short, sometimes long.
There is no "goal".
Just a shared feeling.
Bonus: Experience safer space vibes together
