Foreplay comes in many forms, not just the sexual kind. If you’re looking to get yourself or your boo in the mood for sexy time, sometimes the more subtle and less sexual ways can actually be the most successful.
Romance and setting the mood is all about authenticity and creativity. You want it to feel natural, but also that you’ve put some thought and effort into it.
To get you inspired, we’ve pulled together five of the best ways to get in the mood, without “typical” foreplay.

Mood Lighting
Mood lighting can totally change the mood of the room, especially if you can make your own colours and sync them up with your lovemaking playlist. These Hexagon Nanoleaf lights ($229) and LIFX Smart Lightstrip ($129) do exactly that, and are also super aesthetic; they’re more art feature than lighting.
