Mario Kart is Saving My Sex Life

There are quite a few things about sex after becoming a wife and mother that continue to surprise me. But there is one new development as of late that, I must admit, has really blown my mind.

Mario Kart is saving my sex life.

For real, y'all. I never, in a million years thought that a video game would have any impact on the frequency of my lovemaking, but sure enough, this fun little racing game has become quite the "power up" in the bedroom.

It's not because Mario and Luigi are super sexy, or that Wario's Goldmine is the perfect romantic backdrop for sexy time. It's because there is nothing like some good ole competition to get the blood flowing, and throw in a little wager with the winner receiving their prize in the form of something being licked, kissed or penetrated and you have a pretty kickin' evening. Yee-haw. It's fun, and it brings gaming to a WHOLE new level, let me tell ya. I have never been a big video game person before. Now I play EVERY DAY.

Now, it doesn't have to be Mario Kart people. If there is another video game that tickles your fancy, use it! Or a card game, hell, Candy Land will work in a pinch. The point is, you might be surprised, when you think outside the XBox (ba-dum-ching), what could result in some really awesome (and super fun) sex.

What have you found to be a fun (and unconventional) way to shake things up? I'm not talking sex toys, or pornography or dressing up like a dirty schoolgirl. I'm talking something that you NEVER would have thought would have impacted you in the bedroom. Sometimes you find inspiration where you least expect it - so where have you found it?
