LOS ANGELES — Charlotte Stokely is offering her tips and suggestions to make the Valentine's weekend more romantic and special.
The performer is also a health coach and certified sex educator. "Rather than being discouraged that lockdown has inhibited your abilities to go out, appreciate the provided opportunity to go 'inside.' Having the extra time to look within yourself, your needs and your intimate connections with a lover is magically priceless," she said.
"Take advantage of this extra time cooped up to really get to know the person you're with, or what your personal needs are," she added. "There are some great conversation starter games I'm seeing online, such as 'Let's Get Deep.'"
Themed date nights are another suggestion.
“For example, country dancing — order a couple of cowboy hats, push aside furniture, lower the lighting and reenact some dance moves on YouTube. Perhaps a creative bull ride? Wink-wink!" she teased. "Wear your finest as if you are going to a five-star restaurant and create a romantic home-cooked dinner for two. You've most likely already been cooking at home this past year, so how do we make an extra-special home-cooked meal? Or make a treasure map, with hints and clues around the house. The prize? Your booty."
Stokely emphasized gratitude as a key ingredient in any plan.
"Be grateful for everything you have on this day. Gratitude is the best attitude! Don't be sad about what you would rather be doing, because what's important is the time you're spending with your lover now. Limitations are a perception; open your mind and heart to a lockdown Valentine's Day and smile with your heart. Know that you are loved and worthy of love."
In related news, Stokely will moderate a panel discussion at the 2021 InterNEXT Expo, titled “State of Adult Content Production,” today 12 p.m. (PST).
