Going out on a traditional date to celebrate Valentine's Day is well and good, but if you really want to get into the spirit of the holiday it helps to get a little innovative. Valentine's Day is about love and romance – but it's also about being sexy and sensual with your sweetie, too.

By putting an adult spin on the day's festivities, you and your honey can enjoy a more memorable holiday. Is nothing springing to mind?

Don't worry, your trusty friends here at DW have ten great ideas for you to play around with this year.

Buy her some lingerie; Then help her take it off; check out DW's tips for buying her lingerie that she'll actually want to wear for best results. Go out and pick up some deliciously scented massage oils – then use them liberally on one another.  

While you may start things off with the intentions of strictly administering a massage,
chances are that the two of you will end up doing a whole lot more. While she's out, arrange a nice assortment of candles around the bathtub. Just before she's due home, dim the lights in the bathroom and draw a nice, warm bubble bath. On any other day, a bubble bath is just a way to get clean; on Valentine's Day, though, it's a way to get a bit of sexiness started. 

Try doing it somewhere different:

 If you've already done it on every square inch of space in the home, try doing it in the car. If you've been there, done that, there's only one other option: public sex. Find a place and dare to do it where you just might get caught. 

Cut up an assortment of fruit and warm up a bowl of gourmet dipping chocolate – then deed one another this sensual treat. This is a great way to cap off a nice dinner – and an excellent prelude to some between the sheets fun.

If you've never tied her up before, now's a great time to do it. There's no need to purchase special supplies for this kinky fun, either: A simple necktie will work wonderfully. Once you've got her right where you want her, have your slow, delightful way with her. Sex is fun, but long drawn out foreplay can be even funner. As you prepare to get it on with her on Valentine's Day, make it a point to engage in super slow foreplay. She'll love it, and you will too.

Get kinky with chocolate. Whether you use syrup or that kind that hardens into a shell, it's a lot of sexy fun to drizzle over one another then lick it all off. When all of the fun is done, hit the shower together for some steamy cleanup fun.

Most people have a feather or two lying around the house.

Track one down then put it to good use in bed on Valentine's Day. Trail it slowly all over her body, then have her do the same thing to you. Before you know it, you'll be having some truly mind-blowing sex. By planning ahead, you can pick up a blindfold then use it to add a fun element of surprise into your sex play. Whether you wear it or she does – or if you take turns – a blindfold can really amp up the excitement in bed and is a wonderful addition to any Valentine's Day.
