Date Night Ideas in Austin To Rekindle Intimacy

So, you’re looking to spice things up in the bedroom but need a little impetus beyond buying sexy lingerie? I get you. 

What happens when you’ve purchased the sexy lingerie and you set aside time at night for a little extra sexy time – but your partner just did not get the memo? They fell asleep early after reading their book or didn’t feel up to anything after an extra heavy dinner at home.

Life has a way of making even the most loving couples fall into relationship complacency.

The key to rekindling that fire is setting aside time to go out into the world and share experiences that build upon and deepen your connection with your partner. And yes, this can be a whole heckuva lot easier than you think. It’s simple things like a date night and getting in some alone time – together. 

Lucky for us, we live in a city that gives us plenty of opportunities to make this happen. 

Here are a few sexy date night ideas in Austin that can help to infuse more passion into your relationship.

Live Music and Dance Night

Dancing allows couples to let loose together, with plenty of touching, kissing, and maybe even a little mild foreplay in a darkened setting. It’s also a great reason to get dressed up and show the rest of the nightlife scene that you and your partner are the farthest thing from boring. 

Here in Austin, two great places to hear live music are The Continental Club  or Saxon Pub.  

Couples Massage at the Spa

If you and your lovey have been stressed and living life on the go-go-go, then why not consider an evening where you slow things down a bit?. Why not book a couples massage at Viva Day Spa or Lake Austin SpaResort. Taking some much needed time to relax and regroup is a great activity to tackle as a couple. 

When all that tension melts away, you and your partner can go home and lie in each other’s arms, and focus on nothing but each other’s company. 

Couples Cooking Class

Life is a journey, not a destination, and so is a cooking class. It’s not about the result, but all the fun you have with your partner and teammate along the way. Odds are, you’ll be laughing your heads off while you inevitably cover yourselves in herbs, spices, and condiments, wondering if whatever concoction you’re working on is even edible. 

Try Sur la Table, they regularly host “Date Nights” with themed cooking classes! And don’t forget, Central Market hosts regular classes as well! 

UT Painter Hall Telescope

It doesn’t get more romantic than a night under the stars. Every Friday and Saturday while UT is in session, the school’s Department of Astronomy hosts free viewing nights with the Painter Hall Telescope. It’s both intimate and nostalgic. You’ll feel like you and your partner are back in high school, with all those not-so-innocent high school feelings rising up again. 

Create Your Own Private Picnic 

Do you and your partner love a quiet night alone, but want something different than dinner and a movie? That’s what picnics were invented for! Austin is chock full of beautiful parks for private picnics, but one of my favorite settings for this timeless date night idea is Mount Bonnell. Pack you and your partner’s favorite snacks, a bottle of wine or champagne (or heck, even some hot chocolate!), and multiple cozy blankets so you two can stay after dark and stargaze. 

If you and your partner want to spice up your sex life but could use a little help, let’s connect. Working with a board-certified sex and intimacy therapist is a great start towards rekindling passion in a relationship, and not just temporarily. Schedule your FREE consultation with me today and I’ll show you how to keep those love flames alive and well for years to come.
