05 Mar Couples Are Taking Reddit’s “30-Day Sex Challenge” — Here’s What That Means
It’s normal for long-term partners to go through periods when they’re having less frequent sex: Desire is cyclical, and that’s nothing to be alarmed about. At the same time, getting creative about reigniting your sex life with your partner can be a hell of a lot of fun, and now couples are crediting a “30-day sex challenge” for doing just that after the challenge went viral on Reddit. Originally posted by an anonymous couple, the experiment is now being undertaken by people around the world, such as a married British couple who kept a diary of their experience with the challenge.
The rules are as follows: You and your partner are supposed to try one new sexy dare every day for a month. If you miss a day, you just add on a day, extending the challenge, but you can’t extend the challenge past 40 days. (Of course, use birth control and protection as needed and desired.) Special allowances can be made for work, holiday travel, or menstrual periods (although here at Ladyluxe, we see nothing wrong with period sex if you’re comfortable with it). Each partner gets two veto days, on which you can skip the day’s activity and just have sex however you like. Lastly, you can add your own sexy tasks to the list should you have additional ideas.
Of course, a 30-day sex challenge only works if all parties are interested and turned on by the idea: Sex within a relationship should never feel like an obligation, and if you feel pressured by this kind of structure, this experience may not be for you. However, sometimes planning ahead for sex ensures we make time for something we really want to do but that can fall by the wayside next to other obligations. If this challenge interests you and your partner, then game on (and don’t hesitate to make up your own rules).
As for what’s on the list, check it out below.
Our 30 Day Sex Challenge – aka “Our Reddit Sex Challenge”
Rules:
- Each partner can modify/replace the activity for two of the days of their choosing before the challenge starts. No edits after the challenge begins.
- Each partner gets two VETO days in which they can choose to just have sex and bypass a specific day’s activity.
- Partners can also add anything to the list if both partners agree.
- Periods, holidays, business travel will be treated as “pause” if necessary.
- If a day is missed, an extra day will be added to the challenge increasing the challenge length from 30, 31, 32, and so on. The challenge will not exceed 40 days.
- The goal is to push your comfort zone and try something new. If a partner is uncomfortable with a challenge and they no longer have an edit or VETO, they can borrow a partners VETO. In this case, the partner who gives up a VETO gets to pick the new activity.
- Condoms and birth control should be used when desired or required.
