(No 5 a.m. boot-camp alarms, just feel-good habits you’ll happily roll back into bed for.)
New year, new buzz
January always dangles the same carrot: get lean, drink green, ditch caffeine. By February, half of us are sipping full-cream lattes and using the gym towel to mop up regret. So this year, let’s aim lower — or rather, focus deeper. Trade body-shaming targets for body-loving rituals that make sex, solo play and connection easier, hotter and more sustainable.
Ground rule: every resolution below should feel like a treat, never a chore. If it sparks dread, tweak it until it sparks dopamine.
1. Swap performance metrics for sensation hunting
Forget “X orgasms per week.” Make 2026 the year you chase feelings over stats.
- Try mindful self-touch once a week: five minutes, eyes closed, notice texture, temperature, pressure.
- During partnered play, pause mid-session and ask each other, “Where do you feel that most?” Awareness amps arousal faster than any trick move.
- Lube upgrade: pick a formula you haven’t tried (e.g., ASTROGLIDE Gel if you’re a Liquid loyalist) and focus on how the new texture alters sensation.
2. The 12-lube challenge (one texture per month)
Water, silicone, hybrid, flavoured, warming, CBD-infused—the supermarket aisle is basically a wine list now. Commit to sampling one new lube each month:
- Jan: ASTROGLIDE Liquid for a clean reset.
- Feb: Strawberry flavoured for Valentine’s spoon-licks.
- Mar: Silicone X in the shower.
- Apr: Ultra-Gentle, pH-balanced (good post-Easter choc binge skin).
…you get the drift.
Keep a cheeky “tasting notes” journal. By December you’ll know precisely which glide suits quickies, marathons and underwater escapades.
3. Monthly fantasy swap night
Pick a recurring calendar slot—first Friday or the new-moon weekend. Each partner writes one fantasy on a slip of paper, drops it in a jar. Draw one, discuss over wine/tea/doughnuts. Decide whether to:
- Talk-only tease (describe it in detail).
- Roleplay lite (dip a toe).
- Full enactment (safewords at the ready).
Zero pressure if something’s a no-go; shred the slip and thank them for the peek inside their head.
4. Pelvic-floor power plan (all bodies welcome)
Strong pelvic muscles = stronger orgasms, better control and fewer “oops” moments when you sneeze. Two-minute daily routine:
- 10 slow squeezes (contract on inhale, release on exhale).
- 10 fast pulses.
- Finish with one long 10-second hold.
Do it while the kettle boils. After three weeks you’ll notice firmer grip around toys, fingers or the real deal. Add a weighted kegel ball if you want bonus XP.
5. Eco-care & toy TLC
Resolution: clean, charge, store. Every quarter:
- Soak silicone, glass and stainless toys in warm soapy water.
- Rinse, air-dry, spritz with toy-safe sanitiser.
- Check batteries; recharge or replace.
- Dust a touch of cornstarch on TPE toys to keep them smooth.
- Store in breathable cotton pouches (no PVC bag roulette).
Bonus: switch your bedside wipes to biodegradable versions and recycle lube bottles where facilities allow.
6. Quarterly pleasure audit
Every three months, book a brunch (or couch picnic) labelled “Pleasure Review”. Chat through:
- What worked?
- What flopped?
- Which resolutions feel easy, which feel forced?
- Any new curiosities?
Agree on one micro-change to trial before next quarter—maybe “more morning sex” or “try edging with a wand”.
7. Micro-habits that stack the deck
Tiny shifts add up. Pick one or two of these bite-sized habits and stack them onto routines you already do:
Bedside water bottle
Dehydration equals dryness (everywhere). Keep a full bottle on the nightstand and make refilling it the last step of your bedtime ritual.
Five-minute morning stretch
Loose hips and a thawed lower back equal fewer mid-thrust cramps. While the kettle boils, run through a quick cat-cow, hip circle and hamstring reach.
30-second breath check-ins
Stress spikes cortisol, which tanks arousal. Each time you hit a red light or elevator ride, try a 4-7-8 breath (inhale 4, hold 7, exhale 8).
Daily sexy compliment swap
Erotic safety grows on small praise. Once a day tell your partner something specific you find hot—“Those shorts are criminal” or “Your laugh gives me goosebumps.”
Thread a couple of these into your day and watch desire rise without a shred of extra willpower.
Product cheat sheet for 2026

ASTROGLIDE Gel – thicker, drip-free for slow play.

Tuck travel sachets into gym bags, festival kits and the glove box—future-you will applaud.
Final thought
Your body doesn’t care how many kilometres you ran or which abs app you downloaded. It remembers feelings: comfort, curiosity, electric skin. Set pleasure goals that celebrate those feelings and the discipline will follow naturally. Here’s to a 2026 full of hydrated hips, well-oiled fantasies and resolutions you’re excited to renew every night. 💜
