When the sun shines, thoughts often turn to planning getaways and holidays. Have you got any trips planned this year? Perhaps you’re packed and counting down the days to your next road trip or flight overseas already. Whatever else you’ve got on your packing checklist, today I’m going to help you sex up your suitcase. I’ll also show that no matter what sort of holiday you’re looking forward to, intimate solo or shared erotic pleasure should be a priority. Welcome to my guide to packing for a sexy vacation!

Sex Up Your Suitcase: What To Pack For A Sexy Vacation

Release The Stress & Relax

At this point you might be wondering if your particular trip away is an appropriate time to indulge in personal, sexual pleasure. I would counter that any time away from home, no matter the reason, is a fantastic opportunity for a little psychological and physical downtime. Life can be so incredibly stressful, so why not take advantage of each and every chance to fully relax. For sexually interested and active adults, this often includes tantalising erotic adventures in self-discovery. Masturbation, foreplay and sex.

Travelling With Sex Toys: Airports, Security & Aircraft

Sex Up Your Suitcase: What To Pack For A Sexy Vacation

One of the main worries people have when travelling with sex toys & bedroom accessories is taking them through the airports and getting them on to an aeroplane discreetly. Most people don’t relish the idea of having their sex toys & pleasure products hauled out and inspected during a bag search, or sexy gear in a suitcase triggering a full search and awkward questions. Don’t worry – you can definitely travel with sex toys & bedroom gear discreetly if you know what (& what not) to pack.

Here are my top tips for travelling through airport security & on aircraft with sex toys:

  • Don’t wear any sex toys while you’re travelling.
  • If you’re in long term chastity & wear a chastity cage, switch to a plastic or silicone style (such as the Bon4) and use plastic numbered tags instead of a metal device and metal padlock which will trigger sensors.
  • Keep sex toys in your hold luggage, not your hand luggage.
  • Take note of any restrictions on travelling with liquids, as this will apply to any lubricants or other liquid sex enhancers you want to bring. Opt for sealed sachets or pillow packs carefully stored with your other cosmetics in your suitcase.

Sexy Holiday Accessories Checklist

What sexy essentials should you pack in order to sex up your suitcase -and your vacation? Here’s a handy ‘hot holiday accessories’ checklist for you:

  • Safe sex essentials: Condoms & dental dams if you require a barrier method of protection, or your regular birth control if relevant.
  • Lube: As mentioned in the previous section, a selection of sachets is ideal for sexing up a trip away, they’re easy to pack with your cosmetics and you get the excitement of trying new lubes. I love the low-priced Sliquid Lube Cube (here for UK readers) with 12 sachets to discover.
  • Sexy lingerie/underwear: Something different adds an element of spice on top of the holiday feel. Shop for some new sexy lingerie or underwear specifically to enjoy (either just for yourself, or for your partner too) during your vacation.
  • Sex toys: I’d advise only taking your favourite sex toys, ones you know you’ll definitely use. Discreet rechargeable styles are perfect, such as the We-Vibe Tango Bullet Vibrator – just don’t forget the charging lead!
  • Bondage accessories: If you love bondage, pack some discreet wrist cuffs and ankle cuffs in your suitcase.
  • Erotic stories: Load up your phone or tablet with plenty of erotic fiction (Amazon.com & Amazon.co.uk have plenty of best-selling titles for e-readers & Kindle) well before you’re due to travel, so you always have a way of getting in ‘the mood’ while you’re on vacation.
    Don’t wait until you reach your destination as you’re then dependent on whatever internet connection is available… Prepare in advance on your home WiFi!
  • USB to mains adaptor:  I find a multi-USB socket to mains outlet plug invaluable when travelling (& at home). Many rechargeable sex toys use USB leads, and having one of these multi-USB socket adaptors (here for UK readers) in your luggage will make reaching full power (& regular orgasms) easy.
  • Power adaptors: Make sure you pack the correct power adaptors for your chosen vacation destination, if you’re travelling abroad.
  • Sun protection: Staying safe in the sun is also sexy! Trying to reach the pinnacle of erotic pleasure with blistering sunburn isn’t ideal. Pack your sun protection lotion.

Top Travel-Friendly Sex Toys

  • Bullet vibrator (battery-operated with the batteries packed separately – or rechargeable with travel-lock enabled, and pack the charging lead too)
  • G-spot vibrator (again, battery-operated with the batteries elsewhere in your suitcase – or rechargeable with the travel-lock enabled, and don’t forget the charging lead)
  • TENGA Egg penis masturbator
  • Dildo
  • Butt Plug
  • Nipple clamps

How To Ensure You Have A Sexy Holiday

Filthy Getaways For Couples

When you’re in a long-term relationship, planning a sexy vacation together is a great way to add excitement. The thought of chilling out someplace where you’re not staring at the same four walls, with a glorious sunshine bonus too, will put a spring in your step and get your imaginations racing.

Before you travel, talk about what you’d like to try out sex-wise when on holiday. Make mutual sensual discovery as much of a priority as whatever day trips and dining experiences you have planned.

Sex Up Your Suitcase: What To Pack For A Sexy Vacation

Think about what your perfect filthy getaway together would consist of -and share those ideas with your partner. If it helps keep you both focused, create an erotic adventure checklist that you can enjoy ‘working’ through and ticking off once you arrive.

Lists not your thing? Simply make a commitment to try something new every day. Pack some new lingerie or underwear to surprise your partner with once you’re there. Buy them a new sex toy and wrap it up ready to reveal & enjoy together on your first night and throughout the holiday. Get room service and feed it to each other sensually, in your room or on the balcony. Enjoy the exotic ambience of fully satisfying each other far from home and far from your usual day-to-day responsibilities.

Sex Up Solo Trips

If you’re travelling alone, there are still plenty of ways you can sex up your vacation or trip.

Want to make sure you fully use this opportunity to learn more about your body and what turns you on? Schedule in romantic evenings with yourself. Seduce yourself; enjoy a day out doing something you enjoy, then a fully satisfying meal. Spoil yourself, you deserve it.

Once fully relaxed, take time over pampering your body and mind without any other distractions. A long bath, a shower using your favourite luxurious products. Dress in lingerie to tantalise your own body and mind, and use either sex toys of your choice or your fingers to unhurriedly explore your erogenous zones. Use erotic fiction or other sexy media to help get the right mindset. Adding a splash of lubricant to vulva or penis stimulation will take it to the next level.

Perhaps you’re travelling away by yourself but you’re on the prowl for no-strings hook-ups. As long as everyone involved is happy, consenting and takes part safely, there should be no problem.

Or, if you’re looking to splurge on a slightly more sophisticated sex-scapade, consider booking an escort! If you’re travelling to the UK, consider Rachaels High Class London escorts. These upscale models ooze class, and know exactly how to make your travel experience a memorable one.

Make sure you’re in top sexual health condition by getting a full check-up at a sexual health clinic before you travel. Always use a barrier form of protection to avoid not just unwanted pregnancies but also the many sexually transmitted infections you’re otherwise at risk of contracting and spreading.

Being on a sexy vacation can lead to feeling completely liberated and unfettered of responsibilities. Those delicious but boozy holiday cocktails certainly enhance that effect. However, beware letting your guard down regarding safety & active consent in all your sexual adventures.

Schedule Sexy Me-Time Into Any Holiday

Sex Up Your Suitcase: What To Pack For A Sexy Vacation

Even if the vacation you’re planning isn’t sexy by nature, you still can and should make time for erotic pleasure. With a family of my own, I know just how unsexy a vacation can seem when travelling with small children. Is it ever possible to have a sexy summer vacation when travelling with kids? Or when travelling with parents, or a group of friends or colleagues?

It’s a tough one, I admit. Loud and late-night raucous fucking is out of the window, as are cosy lie-ins the next morning leading to deliciously sleepy sex with no interruptions.

Here are some tips to help you both experience sexy vacation style erotic pleasure when on holiday with family:

  • Get yourself in the mood by reading erotic fiction on your phone or tablet (remember to load these up before you travel) -or pack some saucy paperbacks.
  • Send sexy texts (just text and/or sexy pics) to each other through the day, to keep your mutual attraction and sexy plans on a constant simmer.
  • Are there any holiday clubs the children can be enrolled in for a couple of hours here and there? This could be a great opportunity to enjoy some ‘adults-only’ time together.
  • If your children are older and able to entertain themselves in another part of your holiday accommodation, take the chance to grab a sexy bath or shower together with your partner.
  • Maybe you’re lucky enough to have multi-room accommodation during your family vacation… If so, make the most of ‘the quickie’ after bedtime and the children are asleep in their own room. You’ll have to keep the noise to a minimum, but unfortunately just what ‘parental sex’ is like sometimes!

If all the above fails and there’s absolutely no way you can sex up your holiday with either family or a group of friends/colleagues… sorry! You’ll just have to enjoy this trip away for what it is and plan a sexy vacation on another occasion. Without the children/parents/other people!

Summary

Whether you’re planning a sexy vacation, filthy getaway or just researching ways of sexing up a work trip, I hope this article has given you plenty of helpful ideas. Even the thought of leaving your usual cares and stresses behind for a week or two in favour of warm white sand, refreshing cocktails, exotic dining and a place where no-one knows your name is enough to lift spirits and rouse that libido.
