When you’re in the thick of it, when life gets a little too hard and time starts moving fast, it’s easy for the idea of play to feel trivial and a little silly. But psychologists and wellness experts champion play as a crucial component of a well-rounded and joyful life. Not only is it important for our social lives or during leisure time, but it’s also shown to be important in our sex lives. 

When we’re young, play is how we explore the world. It builds important neural pathways, which help us learn how to solve problems and manage our emotional well-being. As we grow up, the benefits are just as significant. Play is known to relieve stress, improve brain function, and boost creativity. It keeps us feeling young and energetic and helps us connect with others in a light-hearted, spontaneous way. Infusing play into your day (especially in the bedroom) can lead to greater happiness, stronger relationships, and a more fulfilling life!

♟️ Everyday play

Incorporating play into everyday life doesn’t mean being less productive or having every aspect of your life together — it’s about balancing the grind with moments that reset the mind and body. This could be as simple as turning on a YouTube dance class in your living room, picking up a new hobby, a new cozy game on your PC, or hosting a board game night with friends. Look for activities that take you out of your normal routine.

🕯️ Pleasure and play

When it comes to intimacy, being playful can remove pressure, lighten the mood, encourage open communication, and deepen connections. This comes with a lot of trust and open communication — try talking to your partner openly and honestly about keeping things lighthearted. Talk about a fun experience that brought an extra level of play to the bedroom, or tell them something you’ve always wanted to try. It’s about exploring desires without judgment, laughing off the awkward moments, and enjoying a shared experience that’s both pleasurable and fun. 

🏁 Ready, set, play

Adding play can be as simple as incorporating games, like a light-hearted challenge, a role-playing scenario, or a new toy. Products like our DIY Moldings Kits add a lighthearted DIY spin to intimacy and allow you, whether you’re solo or not, to craft something personal, intimate, and FUN. 

Couples who play together often report higher levels of satisfaction and communication in their relationship. By prioritizing play, you build a safe space where intimacy thrives on both physical and emotional levels. So what are you waiting for? Add a little play to your days and open up a world of fun, creativity, and connection.
