Sexual spontaneity keeps things interesting, keeps things hot and makes every moment an exciting expectation about what will happen next. Doing the dishes, for example, can be a dance of seduction if you have the element of spontaneity built into the fabric of your relationship. This sounds like a scene that only happens in the movies, doesn't it?

So, can you plan for spontaneity? Rather, can you plan ahead to make sure that when the mood strikes suddenly, the elements of great sex are at your fingertips and not stuffed in a glove compartment or in the bottom of the medicine cabinet, hidden behind an expired bottle of aspirin and a box of q-tips? The answer is yes. Plan ahead and make the prep time for sex so low that it's basically a seamless transition from a decision to an event.

As a married couple, there is no reason not to treat your bedroom like a shameless bachelor pad with all the things you will need laid out ahead of time. It's important that your sex-related items are in places that are easy to reach and well-stocked. Heck, why stop at just the bedroom? A little surprise package behind the spice rack you may just yet fulfill that dishwashing fantasy.
