Erotic BNB Hosts: 7 Sexy Tips to Set the Mood
You have done your research on how to set up a BNB in your country and have crossed all the Ts! If you are business savvy, you have already created a BNB profile on SDC.com to start promoting your sexy rental space. That is exciting stuff, and congrats on coming along this far in the process!
Take a Good Look Around!
Whether you are ready to receive your first guests or have been in the business for a while, it’s time to take a good look around and see where or what you can improve to make this the lair where like-minded couples in the lifestyle can have a fun, sexy time to look forward to and reboot their romance!
Here are seven ideas to set the mood and get a 5-star host rating:
Tip 1. Light the Way
The bedroom is probably your first focal point for obvious reasons. This is where most of the magic will take place, after all. Soft lighting is quite important here, as for most couples, bright lights are a deterrent to sex. Replace bright bulbs with LED 25W yellow or amber to dim the lights. That’s a cost-saving method, too. Place some electric or battery candles if you are worried about real ones; those with the moving wick are the most romantic. Make sure to have batteries on hand in a prominent place, too. These will also come in handy for other things, as you can read below.
Tip 2. Sex-Positive Products
Yes, of course, couples will no doubt bring what they are comfortable with. While buying condoms, lubes (water-based!), and personal wipes may cost you a little upfront, this gesture will have couples coming back to you in the long run. They may or may not use them, but it’s the thought of providing this sexual care package that goes a long way. Why choose a water-based lube, you ask? Simple — it saves your sheets from stubborn stains.
Tip 3. Quality Above Quantity
A supportive king-size mattress, soft sheets that feel great on naked skin, a luxurious comforter, and ample washable pillows are all lovely! Yes, it is an investment to buy the better-quality stuff, but it will last you longer and will make the guests feel welcomed and comfortable. In order to build a repeat-guest base, these are the things that will set you apart from those who skim on investment. Sturdy yet soft mattress pads are also a cost-saving measure. After all, these things need serious refreshing after any lovemaking.
Tip 4. The Scent of a Woman
The smell makes the place. As soon as your guests walk in, noticing a subtle, welcoming scent would be a great touch. Ensure not to use overly-scented room sprays or oils, as they may irritate some. Sex has a distinct smell, and so does sexual arousal. A subtle automatic room freshener will undoubtedly have your BNB come up smelling like roses. To enhance the amorous powers of attraction and provoke aphrodisiac reactions, you may wish to focus on scents like jasmine, ginger, patchouli, musk, or sandalwood.
Tip 5. Ambiance is Key
Look carefully at the kind of space you are offering. While a dungeon needs a significantly piquant interior with a raw sexual vibe, a playroom in your house may need a red or black wall with a large mirror and some sensual artwork to frame the activities expected during their stay. Whatever you do, ensure your guests instinctively know that you welcome and expect sex to happen. If pure romance is your selling point, then deck out your rental accordingly.
Tip 6. Props are a Go!
This one is a no-brainer for an extra-special experience at your BNB. Consider offering a small selection of massage oils, satin blindfolds, maybe a set of handcuffs (the soft kind), and/or some low-cost sex toys (here is where those extra batteries are handy, especially if they bring their own), and a feather, edible powder or body paint, and a couple of fragrant bath bombs, if your place offers one. These items will inspire passion and lust immediately upon arrival. It will also make you shine bright as a host, which will be reflected in the reviews.
Tip 7. Action Likes Company
This deserves a special mention. A no-TV-in-the-bedroom rule is not really a thing. As a matter of fact, even though you can certainly hide a TV in a tasteful way, offering up a porn channel or some DVDs for those who do enjoy that kind of stimulant is an effective touch. Adding a few small speakers for some surround sound and an iPod for them to play their preferred sexual playlist is also a thumbs up!
Perhaps you know of available local services like massage therapists who come in and do a couples massage, or — why not?! — strike a deal with a nearby restaurant to cater an aphrodisiac-laden menu to add to your extra amenities on offer. A rental for some sex furniture could be an enticing bonus. Being creative may significantly improve your guests' experience and, ultimately, your pocketbook, of course! You can choose to do as little as you want or go all out if you so desire. The bottom line is that it should be cost-effective and in line with what you are offering.
Cheers to a warm welcome!
By the way, no matter what your BNB embodies, a welcoming gesture of some strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate will definitely make you stand out as a host. After all, there are so many options for those three things alone!
