Kim Basinger\u2019s done it, Lindsay Lohan\u2019s done it, Demi Moore\u2019s done it, and so have all those guys from the Full Monty. Yep, you guessed it, we\u2019re talking about performing a striptease.<\/p>\n

And if \u2013 like us \u2013 you watched the aforementioned stars in these steamy movies<\/a> leaving little more than just their hats on and thought to yourself, ‘hey, that looks like fun,’ well, you\u2019d be right!<\/p>\n

So, here\u2019s a breakdown of how you can spice up your sex life<\/a> by stripping down to the bare essentials.<\/p>\n

Rules<\/h2>\n

<\/b>First of all, establishing a set of ground rules helps the person performing assert their control and adds a level of professionalism which in turn contributes to the raunchiness of the drama.<\/p>\n

No touching and no talking are a few simple ideas but feel free to experiment as you see fit; your show, your rules.<\/p>\n

And if your partner just can\u2019t keep their hands to themselves, which we suspect may well be the case, consider using pleasure ties<\/a> or handcuffs<\/a> to keep them in check. The restraint combined with the desire will be too hot to handle.<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/h2>\n

<\/b>It\u2019s important to remember that you\u2019re putting on a show, and like all the best performances we\u2019ve been to, preparation and attention to detail are essential\u2026<\/p>\n

Creating the Atmosphere<\/h3>\n

<\/b>Set up your performance space and dim the lights enough to set the mood, but make sure you and your partner can still see what\u2019s going on. Many of us have our favorite lovemaking tunes<\/a> so pick a song you like and that makes you want to get those hips moving.<\/p>\n

Choosing Clothing<\/h3>\n

<\/b>Wear a racy little number, obviously, and loose fitting so it\u2019s both easy to take off and step out of. Also clothes that are too tight may leave undesirable marks on your skin. You may want to add a theme to your costume \u2013 think French maid, fireman, or any other fantasy you think your partner would enjoy.<\/p>\n

Adding Accessories<\/h3>\n

Will your show require props? It doesn’t just need to be feather boa or leather whip<\/a> that goes with your outfit; you can incorporate things like a chairs or other furniture,\u00a0 a SMART WAND\u2122 if you want to treat them to the sight of you titillating yourself, or even\u00a0 a hot wax massage candle<\/a> if you want to make things really kinky!<\/p>\n

Prepping your Partner<\/h3>\n

<\/b>How about a sensual massage from the star performer before the show? Or maybe the two of you could enjoy a drink together? Where do you want them to sit? Maintaining the professional demeanor you decided on in the rules works particularly well at this stage and the role play and sense of control will hopefully help settle any nerves as you prepare your partner for the pleasures to come.<\/p>\n

Showtime<\/h2>\n

So your well-laid plan has gone without a hitch, you have the undivided attention of your audience and you\u2019re starting to get into your groove. Now it\u2019s time for the main event\u2026<\/p>\n

Start Slow<\/h3>\n

<\/b>Ensure to position your partner so that they can enjoy the best view of the show at all times and use the first few minutes to get your rhythm going. Use the music, tease your partner and once you\u2019ve got them exactly where you want them, what follows will come naturally.<\/p>\n

The Strip<\/h3>\n

<\/b>Once you feel the time is right, the strip itself can begin and while the speed with which you remove your clothes is up to you, take care to make it neither too fast nor too slow. Rev up the anticipation by starting off with any accessories you may be wearing, such as a belt, hat or glasses, and work your way inwards from there.<\/p>\n

Take your time and remove everything in the order you want. Once you get down to the final pieces, your partner will be in the palm of your hand.<\/p>\n

What comes next we\u2019ll leave up to your imaginations.<\/p>\n

Relax<\/h3>\n

<\/b>Throughout the process, it\u2019s important to remember that doing a striptease is supposed to be fun, so don\u2019t be afraid to make a mistake.<\/p>\n

That being said, if something doesn\u2019t go according to plan, don\u2019t give up, try your best to go with the flow and don\u2019t let it knock your confidence.<\/p>\n

The key to keeping a striptease sexy is maintaining the eroticism and authenticity of the occasion\u2015but that doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t be lighthearted if that\u2019s what bedroom dynamic comes naturally to you and your partner! If you come anywhere close to getting this right, it\u2019ll be the best gift your partner has ever had. Guaranteed!<\/p>\n
