How to Celebrate a Sexy St. Patrick's Day

Think St. Patrick's Day is only for drinking green beer and celebrating with friends over steaming plates of corned beef and cabbage? Think again--that day of March is also one of the sexiest days on the calendar. If, that is, you know how to set the stage for a little special "memory-making" between you and the one you love.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Decide together that you want to make St. Paddy's Day a special intimate memory this year. Not everyone loves an unexpected surprise! By sharing teasing details in advance, you manage to elevate the excitement factor between you by hinting to each other how *sexy* celebrating the "Luck of the Irish" is going to be.
2. Shop for something new to wear: new sexy jeans, a shimmery green top, a snappy pair of new high heels. If you'd rather keep it subtle in public, buy a green lace bra and panties to wear under your outfit when you meet for drinks and dinner. (Guys, a spicy pair of green under shorts to show off your favorite "shamrock" should also be in order!) Or perhaps even no underwear at all.
3. Decide to be daring this year. If the two of you tend to go for the more "conservative" - whether it's in your dress, the places you go for entertainment, the food and beverages you sit down to consume - make this the year you abandon the typical on St. Patrick's day and opt for something unusual. For instance, Brazilian food instead of Chinese, salsa dancing instead of playing pool. Consider taking other couples along and seeing how "exotic" the group can be by each couple suggesting something new and different to do throughout the course of the evening.
4. Prefer to stay in and share a romantic evening? Plan dinner for two in bed. Pick up a set of green satin sheets (inexpensive at most discount stores) or spread a green blanket or tablecloth on top of the bed. Arrange an explosion of candles around the bedroom (cheap at the dollar store). Carry out your joint-favorite-to-die-for meal and serve on breakfast trays. Take turns feeding each other as you sip your favorite beverages, listen to music or watch something on the TV/DVD player that the two of you love. Dress sexy or don't dress at all--it is, after all, a memorable evening you've choreographed together.
5. Take the next day off from work so you can thoroughly enjoy a hotel "one-night stand" together. Devise a plan where one of you sits in a local hotel bar during happy hour as if alone. The other arranges for a room (jacuzzi suite is even better). The two of you role play together the meeting and seduction of two strangers who have partners at home and only by chance happened to find themselves sitting side by side at the bar. Spend plenty of time flirting, hand holding, dancing, touching. When the time is right, steal off to the hotel room for a night spent sharing delicious "unmentionables." Don't forget to order room service breakfast in the morning and linger until check-out time.
6. Purchase some sexy oils for lovers to carry in your pocket when you join friends for some St. Patrick's Day fun. Secretly touch each other "here and there" with the oils as you socialize. See how sneaky you can be without anyone in your midst catching on, keeping track in whispers which one of you gets the most sexy touches in. The winner gets....? Decide in advance or as the spirit moves you later on.
7. Choose a popular word that, every time you hear it throughout your St. Paddy's Day partying, you must reach for each other and share a long, seductive kiss or engage in a 20-second tickle match. See if others can guess your game. Choose a much less popular word that, when you hear it, means you must meet in a secluded place and share five intimate minutes together without speaking.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep things fun and light; it's a day of silliness and celebration. It's also a day for making memorable moments together.
• Don't allow yourselves to slip into disagreements or foolish squabbles. Avoid any subjects that will take your focus away from simply enjoying each other on St. Patrick's Day.
• Don't overdrink. Nothing spoils an intimate evening like the consuming of too much alcohol.
