Our 10 Best Sexual Resolutions for a Year Full of Pleasure – Whether You’re Single or Attached!

Last week, the LOVE Team shared our top tips for top tips for mastering the art of pleasure. This week, we’re focusing on “love” resolutions—those small but mighty changes that can shake up your routine and breathe new life into your sex life. Whether you're flying solo and eager for new adventures or part of a duo looking to reignite the spark, we've got you covered. Here are 10 unmissable resolutions guaranteed to make this year your most satisfying one yet. These resolutions are simple, easy-to-do tweaks to your love life, that nonetheless have the power to bring genuine, game-changing results. Because sometimes, it’s the little things that lead to the most pleasure in bed!

​

​Being single often means freedom and adventure, but let’s face it—even when you’re in solo mode, it’s easy to slip into a bit of a rut. If your sex life feels a bit flat or you’re craving something new, no worries—we’ve got you. These five resolutions are all about breaking free from monotony and fully embracing your sensual side. Because there’s nothing better than a little self-love and -care to feel fulfilled in every area of your life!

​Let’s be honest—it’s all too easy to consent to sexual encounters for the wrong reasons. Maybe it’s out of fear of disappointing someone, wanting to keep the peace, or even because your date picked up the bill for dinner. But these kinds of moments can sometimes leave a bitter aftertaste and a sense of regret that lingers. That’s what happens when you ignore your true feelings and avoid setting boundaries.

Saying “no” is an act of self-respect, not unkindness, and it’s a vital part of enjoying a healthy, fulfilling sex life. You’re allowed to refuse sex at any point—even halfway through—if it doesn’t feel right anymore. It’s your body, your choice, and no one has the right to make you feel guilty about it. In 2025, make it your mission to honour your needs and put yourself first. Real pleasure starts with being in tune with what you genuinely want.

​

​Taking care of your sexual health is all about respect—for yourself and anyone you share intimate moments with. Even if you always use protection, there’s no such thing as zero risk when it comes to sex. Accidents happen, and some STIs can linger quietly without any symptoms. That’s why regular testing is a must, even if you’re feeling perfectly fine.

The good news? These checks are quick, straightforward, and easy to arrange. You can book an appointment with your GP or head to your nearest sexual health clinic. Making this a regular habit isn’t just about protecting your health—it’s about fostering a sense of trust and responsibility in your sex life. So, let 2025 be the year you put your well-being first, because a satisfying love life starts with a clean bill of health.

​

The space you live in can have a huge impact on your mood and desires, and your bedroom is no exception. If the vibe feels a bit dull or uninspiring, it might be time for a refresh to reignite your sexual energy.

​

Think satin sheets, a faux fur throw, or perfectly plumped cushions to create a cosy yet seductive atmosphere. Stock your bedside table with cheeky items for your pleasure sessions—massage oils, scented candles, or your favourite sex toys. These little touches can transform your bedroom into a haven of sensuality, a place where you feel confident and desirable. And if you’re expecting company, you’ll know the vibe will match your intentions. This year, make your bedroom a space where every moment feels unforgettable.

​

​Why not shake things up this year and try something a little different from your usual fitness routine? Taking a class in striptease, French cancan, or pole dancing is a brilliant way to reconnect with your body while giving your sexual confidence a serious boost.

These sensual disciplines let you move, have fun, and push your boundaries in a welcoming, judgement-free space. You’ll learn to own your sexuality, all while toning up your body in the process. And the bonus? You’ll leave every session with renewed sexual energy and a spring in your step that’s hard to ignore. So, ditch the self-doubt and treat yourself to an activity that’s as good for your mind as it is for your body.

​

​With work commitments, daily stress, and life’s endless little demands, it’s easy to slip into autopilot and forget to put yourself first—especially when it comes to your sexual well-being. But carving out time for yourself is essential, and that includes moments of solo intimacy.

​Even the most content couples can find fresh ways to spice things up in the bedroom. Sometimes, it only takes a few small changes to deepen your connection, reignite the passion, and explore new experiences together. Whether you’re keen to try something different or simply want to improve what already works, here are five sexual resolutions to make your relationship even more vibrant and satisfying this year.

​For many couples, the bedroom is the go-to spot for intimate moments together, but sticking to one place can start to feel a bit samey after a while. Why not shake things up with a playful challenge? For one month, ban bedroom action completely.

​Instead, try out other spots around the house: the kitchen table, the sofa, the shower, or even a cosy rug on the floor. Every corner of your home has the potential to become a setting for a moment of passion—just get creative (and keep things discreet if you share your space or have kids). This simple switch of scenery can reignite your desire and add a sense of adventure to your routine. Step out of your comfort zone (literally) and see how a little relo can really make a difference.

​Sometimes, it’s the little things that mean the most. If you’re not one for grand public displays of affection, why not try something small but meaningful this year? Holding your partner’s hand when you’re out and about—whether it’s a stroll down the street, a trip to the supermarket, or a weekend walk—can make a big impact.

It’s a subtle yet powerful way of saying, “I love you, and I’m here.” Your partner might be pleasantly surprised by this unexpected show of tenderness. Of course, you should always consider their comfort—some people aren’t fans of public affection, and that’s perfectly okay. The goal is to create little moments of connection that strengthen your bond, even through the simplest of gestures.

​

​Between work, kids, and life’s endless surprises, it’s easy for your sex life to take a backseat. So why not be proactive and pencil in your intimate moments, just like you would for any other important part of your life?

It might sound a bit unromantic, but it’s actually a great way to put your relationship first and make room for creativity. Block out dates in your calendar and give them fun themes: a night for mutual self-pleasure, another to explore something new like anal play, or regular evenings dedicated to your tried-and-true favourites.

​

​Far from dull, scheduling sex will add a touch of excitement and anticipation to the proceedings. You’ll have fun designing your schedule together, and turn each date into a unique opportunity to deepen your connection and spark something new.

​If you’re used to giving your partner flowers, chocolates, or other classic tokens of affection, why not try something a bit more daring this year? Consider a cheeky gift: a sex toy. Whether your partner is a man or a woman, there’s a huge range to choose from, so you’re bound to find something that sparks their curiosity and desire.

​Gifting a cheeky present isn’t just an exciting surprise—it’s also an invitation to explore new kinds of pleasure together. From a sleek stimulator to a vibrating cock ring or a more elaborate accessory, the idea is to bring a touch of newness and create even deeper moments of connection. Go ahead and take the plunge with a playful gift—you might just see sparks in their eyes (and elsewhere).

​Even the most exciting of bedroom routines can start to feel predictable after a while. If you and your partner tend to stick to favourites like missionary or cowgirl, why not set yourselves a playful challenge this year? Make a pact never to repeat the same position twice in a row.

​If you need some inspiration, pick yourself up a copy of the Kama Sutra or check out our Love Positions series, where you’ll find some of the LOVE Team’s top picks. Whether it’s an adventurous new position or a subtle twist on a classic, changing things up regularly will help you keep the spark alive. It’s a fun, intimate way to see your partner in a new light every single time. Step out of your comfort zone and explore a world of endless possibilities—together.

And there you have it—everything you need to kick off the new year with a focus on pleasure, whether you’re single or coupled up. These resolutions are your chance to reconnect with yourself, reignite the passion, and discover new sides of your sensuality.

​

From all of us on the LOVE Team, here’s to a year filled with connection, exploration, and unforgettable moments. Take care of yourself, have fun, and make 2025 a year to remember in every way—including in the bedroom. Cheers to a sensational year ahead for everyone!
