Welcome back to week three of The Pleasure Edit! Since we’ve already talked about advanced toys and creating a relaxing mood, this week is all about bringing the funness and spark back into the relationship with some incredible date night ideas.
Sometimes we can get stuck in a routine or feel stressed out from work, but taking the time for proper connection and soul-interaction with your partner changes everything. Whether you want to spice up your regular foreplay, try out a sexy new look, or completely relax your body for a deeper sexual experience, I have some amazing treats for you this week.
Let's dive into four products that my husband and I absolutely love using for our own date nights!
1. Tower of Pleasure – The Ultimate Adult Foreplay Game - Review – Pulse & Cocktails
I absolutely loved this foreplay date idea toy. Darren and I have quite good foreplay, well we thought we did but then this game came along and gave us so many more ideas. We loved it. We’ve played it a few times now and it just keeps giving us loads of fun. Its definitely a fun, seductive and sexy Jenga style game.
This is a great date night idea to build the Communication, Trust and Intimacy back up. If you feel like you are stuck with any of those, then this game is for you. I love the colours of the stack. Darren and I made an evening out of it. We set out a soft rug and soft cushions on the living room floor, lite some sensual candles, had the lighting low and put on some tantric music.
This set the evening for a calm, inviting environment. We then got comfy and started the game. It really was fun to pull out the bricks and see which dare we each had to do. It made it fun as we were laughing, having a great time and being in the moment rather than being stressed with work or something else. We managed to do quite a few challenges and then I knocked the stack down by pulling out a purple brick. I’m too competitive really.
There are 54 blocks in total each with their own dare or foreplay task to do. The way this game works is that to get the points to win the game, you have to take out a brick and do the task it says for 10-15 seconds and then your partner can go. The player with the most points then initiates $ex where or whenever. Do each dare as they come up or get pulled from the stack of bricks.
There is a point system. All the Green blocks are worth 1 Point. All the Pink blocks are worth 2 Points and all the Purple blocks are worth 3 Points.
Oh my goodness, can we just take a second for this packaging! I am absolutely obsessed with the vibe of this box!
The base is this stunning purple, but it’s the lettering that really does it for me, it’s got this gorgeous mix of green, pink, and purple writing that just pops so beautifully. It’s so vibrant and fun!
And the best part? There is a cheeky little window on the front! I love being able to peek inside and see the bricks before I even open it. You know exactly what treats you’re getting, which is just so satisfying, isn't it? I highly, highly recommend this if you need a little more connection and soul-interaction in your life. It’s about bringing that funness and spark back into the relationship. I’m certainly recommending it to my clients.

2. CBD Hybrid Lube & Massage Oil Bundle - Review – Pulse & Cocktails
I am in love with the CBD lube and massage oil.
CBD Hybrid Lube
This CBD lube is incredible at opening blood vessels within the genitals. We loved the silky texture. It’s a white substance that turns clear on skin or toys. It’s thicker than other lubes with a wonderful sweet and lemongrass scent. Having tried many lubes, this is high on our list.
Applied to my vulva, it gave a pleasant warming sensation. When my husband blew on it, it created a tingle. It works well with silicone toys, providing a nice feel. Two pumps were more than enough for our entire session. It isn’t sticky and glides easily. I also love the gold and black 100ml bottle.
I highly recommend this for dryness, vaginismus, tight pelvic floor muscles, or stress during penetration. It helps open blood vessels and relax muscles, allowing nerves to function so you feel calm. It keeps you in the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) rather than the sympathetic (fight or flight). Since we hold stress in the pelvic floor, this relaxation leads to a better sexual experience. The CBD wakes up the nerves for increased arousal and natural lubrication. Its anti-inflammatory properties also calm localized swelling and act as natural pain relief. This lube is nontoxic and unlike some others it is condom compatible.
CBD Hybrid Massage Oil
This oil is fantastic and doesn’t disappoint. It’s great for aching muscles, especially tight shoulders and the lower back. The CBD active ingredients help blood flow and provide anti-inflammatory properties that aid cell regeneration.
The oil isn't sticky, rubs in well, and a small amount goes a long way. It has the same easy pump action and a beautiful scent of lemon, ginger, and olive fruit. It isn’t overpowering and sinks in well, leaving skin soft rather than oily. I highly recommend this for an intimate regime or to relieve general aches and pains.
Gemma's Discount: This absolute lifesaver of a bundle is priced at £24.95. Remember to use my code ‘GEMMA’ at the checkout for 15% off!
3. Lace Sheer Long Sleeve Bodysuit - Review - AvidLove
This is such a beautiful bodysuit and I absolutely love wearing it. The first thing I noticed about this body suit was how incredibly soft, skin friendly, and silky the lace fabric feels against my skin. It features a gorgeous, deep sweetheart neckline corset style lacing down the front that creates an utterly beautiful silhouette. I really like the frilly shoulders where there is extra lace as it gives a more feminine look to it.
The long sleeves feature a stunning floral lace pattern that runs all the way down, while the back cut to highlight your curves. It even has clever snap buttons at the base (like a baby bodysuit), making it super easy to wear. I have worn it in the bedroom to add an element of tease and intrigue, and also paired it with my favorite jeans for a date night look. I do feel sexy and powerful wearing this.
The material is made from a high quality blend of 85% Polyester and 15% Spandex, as it gives it just the right amount of stretch. It hugs my body perfectly in a slim fit without feeling restrictive or tight at all, which is exactly what you want when you want to feel confident and gorgeous.
Why I Recommend This
Because it makes you feel so sexy and beautiful on a date night or even paired with smart trousers and a blazer.
Gemma's Discount: This beautiful sheer bodysuit is available from AvidLove for £36.99. Use the code ‘Gemma20’ for a 20% discount at the checkout!
4. Sheer Mesh Trim Underwire Bra Panty Set - Review - AvidLove
This is such a beautiful set. The first thing I noticed about this was the contrast between the delicate, apricot mesh and the black floral lace. It is crafted from an incredibly lightweight, good stretchy fabric that feels beautifully soft and silky against the skin, making it just as comfortable as it is appealing.
The underwire bra top is designed to highlight and support your breasts. It has fully adjustable shoulder straps. The matching thong mirrors that beautiful lace look, creating a gorgeous, style that adds the perfect amount of tease and intrigue to the bedroom.
The fabric has stretch that hugs your body without feeling pinching or restrictive at all like some bras sets do. This is exactly what you want when you want to feel confident, relaxed, and gorgeous.
Why I Recommend This
Because the fabric is so soft to the touch, and the adjustable straps and stretchy thong ensure there is no tight, digging pressure around the pelvic region, allowing you to prioritise your comfort, feel incredibly beautiful, and focus entirely on relaxation and feeling sexy at your own pace.
Gemma's Discount: Get this full set from AvidLove for £23.10, and don't forget to use code ‘Gemma20’ for 20% off!
Gemma's Homework For This Week:
Your homework this week is to schedule a dedicated date night with your partner and focus entirely on playfulness.
Try styling a sexy look like the AvidLove sheer bodysuit with a pair of jeans or a smart blazer for dinner out, and then head home for a cozy evening on the living room floor. Clear away any distractions, set out a soft rug with cushions, and play a game like the Tower of Pleasure.
Laughing together and being fully in the moment is the absolute best way to reset your nervous system out of fight or flight and into rest and digest. And if you want to elevate the physical sensations, use a couple of pumps of the CBD lube to completely relax your pelvic floor muscles and wake up those nerve endings. Have fun with it!
See you next week for Week 4 of The Pleasure Edit!
