All of these resources are ones I personally use.  Please seek out medical advice if needed and use your own personal judgment if they are going to work for you.

Apps

If you want to spice things up in the bedroom, but you don’t know where to start, here are some apps I like.  All of these apps are on iOS, but there are probably similar ones on Android.  

  1. iPassion – has some fun question and answer games. 
  2. Gottman Card Decks – has all sorts of questions to ask each other and ideas for new things 
  3. Disckreet – is a private messaging app where you and your spouse can send messages, pictures, and videos, and they won’t get uploaded to the cloud or be available on other devices. It takes a special password to get in.  
  4. Spicer – is a fun app where they give you suggestions for new things to try with your partner, and you can yes, no, or maybe. If your spouse matches what you say, then you get to see the answers and make a list of things you want to try. Some ideas are probably too far fetched for most LDS couples, but lots of ideas to stretch your mind. 
  5. Intimately Us App – is pretty robust and comes from a Christian perspective, so nothing too crazy. It’s got conversation starters, intimacy games, daily challenges, Sexploration list, intimacy bucket list, and dozens of articles from sex experts, and much more!  This app is also available on Android.

Clean romance, anything by Deeanne Gist or Marcia Lynn McClure  There are bare chests for the men, and passionate kissing, but nothing more is described.

Proper Romance series, several authors, several time periods (regency, modern, steampunk) nothing explicit, just enough to get you thinking and feeling.
