Household chores half done, little ones running around and Mr./ Mrs. Spouse sits on the couch, cracking walnuts and scratching his/ her ear.
Has the excitement in your marriage fizzled out? Is your spouse dedicating more time to familial issues and neglecting the spice in the bedroom? Well here’s a thought. Send the kids to Grandma, close one eye to the mess sitting in the sink and take ‘Spousie’ out for a fun frisky-licious romp in the great outdoors.
Did a double take there didn’t you? Well before you cringe and wonder if theAsianparent has lost it, think about it. Hubby/ Wifey is probably thinking the same thing but is too shy to bring it up. No, don’t roll your eyes. You’d be amazed at half the things people don’t suggest to their partners out of sheer embarrassment or having the idea shoved aside.
Romantic places for couples in Singapore:
So to make it easier for you to get this rolling, theAsianparent came up with a list of (legal) places that this fun activity can be carried out. (You can thank us later).
Nature
What better place to do a beautiful, natural act than surrounded by nature itself? Take along a picnic basket, a music player with the greatest love tunes to get you both in the mood and a bottle of wine.
Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, especially the area near the MOE’S Dairy Farm Adventure Centre, is one place you can consider as only the mornings and evenings see joggers and students.
However do be sure to know the way back for many an ‘explorer’ has become lost due to either extremely poor navigation or the confusing intertwining of branches that block the way.
Beach
Ahh, the sun, the sand and the sea. It can’t get better than that. Studies have shown that women reach their happiest state in the water, regardless of it being the pool or the sea. However soft, warm sand tickling your feet and the cool sea water that washes over you will simply set you, and your better half, in the mood rather than the cold, hard cemented pee-filled pool.
Beaches we recommend? Changi Beach after 6 pm, East Coast Park, past carpark F (after the sailing club). Also try Punggol Beach.
Cinema
Angelina Jolie cups her hand around Antonio Banderas’ head and makes out with him. Steamy and gets you in the mood doesn’t it? Well replicate it! Cup ‘spousie’s’ head and get on with it. Just make sure you’re at the last row so that nobody behind can yell at you or pelt you with popcorn for blocking their view.
Cinema’s that are generally quieter? Shaw Towers (Beach Rd), Golden Village (Tiong Bahru), Golden Village (Great World).
Playground
What better place to play, then at a playground! *grin*. Best part, they are everywhere and generally, after nine PM most playgrounds in Singapore are usually empty! However, to maintain your privacy and dignity, before you get down and dirty with your spouse, do a once over to make sure there really are no kids around!
Playgrounds we love: Bishan Park Playground (Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1), Playground at Hort Park ( Off Alexander Road), Hindhede Nature Park (Bukit Timah Nature Reserve).
Vacation
All right if these places don’t really appeal to you and you want to carry out this friskiness with class then a vacation is in call here. Book the honeymoon suite.
Nobody said that the honeymoon suite requires first time honeymooners. Create the honeymoon atmosphere. Rose petals on the bed, specially scented soap, boxes of assorted chocolates, the best wine you can afford and soft music to be played in the background. Granted this is not exactly the outdoors but then again, it is away from home and you have a door in your suite that does not demand you to keep the friskiness at bay.
Final Note
One important thing you have to remember before you begin your little rendezvous? Do not expose yourself or your partner in any way, for that can be charged under the Singapore Indecent Act! As long as you keep it clean, a good ‘ol time of frisky fun is what you will be looking forward to.
