Too good to leave in the comments, here’s Sheryn’s response to my challenge of what are the top 10 things to do when you don’t have access to a condom…

My top 10 non-sex erotic dates

1. Flirt, over dinner, with sexy food (anybody see Jennifer Beal eat lobster in Flashdance?…my first crush on a woman). Any thing that lets you get messy, silly, and feed each other will do.

2. Dancing. Hot, sweaty, erotic, and fun. (There’s a reason so many religions disapprove.)

3. Curl up in front of a fire, with a glass of wine and share stories about first dates, first times, funny times, favorite things and fantasies while watching the flames (people tell more intimate details when they aren’t looking at each other).

4. Tell each other sexy stories based on the other’s fantasies, with your own twists (great for long-distance connections, too).

5. Long, slow erotic massage

6. Neck, like teenagers. Remember those long juicy sweaty hours of kissing and petting? How it didn’t “count” if you still had your clothes on!

7. Shower together. Few things are more erotic than having your hair skillfully washed and rinsed…and OOHHH…that spot in the middle of the back that’s so hard to reach alone.

8. Dance for each other. If you can shake off the inhibitions, there’s nothing hotter than a slow strip tease. Or for that matter, a fast one. If not, grab something to use as a blindfold and experiment with all sorts of sensual touches, tastes, smells. Play at guessing…or just enjoying.

9. Watch your partner masturbate. Tell a hot, sexy story while they do, or tease and touch all the other parts…or sit in a chair across the room and just watch, like a paying customer, or voyeur or some other role. Whatever is the most erotic for both of you. Turn the tables and perform for them. Make it a game not to let them touch themselves while you do…or not to stop, or come, until you do. (Yum!)

10. Masturbate together. Tell stories, touch each other, watch, don’t watch, try to come together if you want…maybe decide not to come at all, and just enjoy the sensations.

And then of course…there’s always dig all the change you can find out of both your cars and raid the nearest convenience store for condoms and/or plastic wrap. Surely the neighbors could spare a little cling wrap???
