Yeah, right?
It’s an app, and it sounds fun. But how do I tell my partner about it?
Here are a bunch of ideas:
- Send them a link to www.pillow.io via whatsapp or messenger. No more words need to be said.
- “This looks fun! It was in Wired/Glamour [delete as appropriate].”
- Straight up — tell them that you want to try a “Sex App.”
- “Have you heard of Pillow Play, [insert friends name here] thought it was enjoyable, can we try it?”
- Tell them over dinner, “sooooooo I want to feel closer to you. AND I have a solution that won’t make you think too hard.”
- “You’ll get to blindfold me if we play with Pillow Play.”
- Our communication sucks. You suck. Here’s what we’re going to do about it.
- Our sex life sucks. You suck. Here’s what we’re going to do about it.
- Send them a link to a review online, such as Sputnik.
- On a quiet Sunday afternoon together, play an episode so that they can over hear it. Choose the in app voice you think will be most alluring to your partner…
- Refer to a specific part of your relationship. Tell them how Pillow Play will help you talk about things you find it hard to talk about otherwise.
- “It’s like a workout for our relationship” — come work out with me ;)
- “Our sex life is awesome — look at this.”
- Get one of your partner’s friends to tell them about it. Then suggest to your partner yourself a few days later.
- “There’s one episode where we have to jump around like animals and it kinda sounds fun.”
- “There’s one episode where you have to actually listen to me telling you a story without interrupting me. Think you can do that?!”
- “There’s this one episode where we have to pull lots of funny faces and copy each other. It’s stupid. But you gotta lighten up, ya grumpy pants!”
- “There’s this one episode where YOU have to do some work, that would make a nice change!”
- “It will help us slow down.”
- Grab their hand, sit them down and tell them that you have something really, really important to tell them. Then show them Pillow Play.
- Offer them a compliment first. Then ask for what you want.
- Reminisce about a lustful time you guys had together. Talk about getting that feeling back in your relationship.
- “I know I said phones aren’t supposed to be in the bedroom, but….”
- “You know that meditation app that you use? There’s one for couples..”
- Load up the app, put it on the table, look into their eyes, and slide over the phone like you’re offering cash in a gangster movie.
- There are a few free episodes — we might as well try it.
- “Instead of sitting down and watching the next episode of [insert latest TV series time sink here], can we do this episode, together?”
- “You don’t feel anything!… I want to show you how to feel…”
