February Intimacy Month, Love Bites and Marks, Sex Ideas for Valentine's Day, Sexy Holidays, Dominance and Submission, D/s for married couples, husDOM, subMrs

February is not just the last month of winter chill or the month of roses and restraint.
It is the month where love shows its marks.

Before greeting cards softened it, February belonged to fire, cleansing, bodies, and truth. It was a threshold month. A purifying month. A month that asked lovers to look at what remained after Winter had stripped everything bare.

This is the season where desire doesn’t whisper.
It knocks.
Sometimes it bites.

February remembers what we forget the rest of the year:
That love is not just felt.
It is inscribed.

On skin.
In habit.
In ritual.
In quiet ways, two people choose each other again.

This is a month of contrast.

Sacred devotion beside reckless longing.
Guardianship beside temptation.
Tender hands beside greedy mouths.

Cherubs stand at the gates of what is holy.
Cupid aims for what cannot be controlled.
And between them lives real intimacy, the kind that is protected and played with.

February is also the month of cleansing. Of washing away what no longer fits. Of clearing bodies, homes, and stories. Of preparing space for Spring by deciding what deserves to come forward with you.

This is not about perfection.
It’s about presence.

Knowing your body.
Mapping where you open and where you guard.
Learning how love lands differently on different skin.
Understanding that touch was our first language long before words tried to tame it.

February is a community month, too. Love does not thrive alone. It thrives in shared meaning, mutual care, and rituals that remind us we are not doing this in isolation.

This month, we will talk about marks and meaning.
About purification and pleasure.
About self-love and shared devotion.
About food, drink, touch, play, and memory.
About holidays that still hum with ancient heat beneath their modern names.

February is not here to be polite.

It is here to remind you.

And this month, we’re listening.

FEBRUARY: LOVE MARKS

Bites, Badges of Honor & Marking the Body

February is not a gentle month.

It is the last month of Winter, the time when desire stirs beneath the frost, when bodies ache to be warmed, touched, claimed. Historically, February has always been a month of cleansing, fertility, sex, and devotion.

This is why February’s Marriages Sexiest Secret theme is:

LOVE MARKS

Marks that say:

  • I was here.
  • I was chosen.
  • I belong.

Marks may fade from skin, but belonging does not fade from the nervous system.


🌹 LOVE MARKS: MARKING THE BODY

Marks are not damage.
Marks are memory made visible, physically or mentally, both spiritual for couples.

Love marks can be:

  • Bites, scratches, nail marks
  • Bruises/Bruising worn privately or proudly
  • Lipstick, ink, or oil writing
  • Teeth, hands, breath, pressure
  • Golden showers/Bathing

In D|s-M, marks become badges of honor.
They are consented, intentional, and meaningful.

A mark placed with awareness becomes an anchor, a reminder of who you belong to and how you were loved.


🧹 FEBRUALIA: CLEANSING, PURIFICATION & RELEASE

The word February comes from februa, meaning to cleanse.

In Ancient Rome, February was dedicated to Februalia, a month-long festival of:

  • Washing
  • Purification
  • Atonement
  • Preparing for renewal

D|s-M Translation

You do not cleanse to erase desire.
You cleanse to make room for deeper claiming.

Purge & Clean the Slate Ritual

  • Bathe intentionally (alone or together)
  • Speak aloud what you are releasing
  • Clean your home and bedroom
  • End by re-marking the body with touch, teeth, oil, or words

Cleansing without re-claiming leaves emptiness.
February teaches us to do both.


🩸 LUPERCALIA: RAW LOVE & BODY TRUTH

Before Valentine’s Day, there was the holiday Lupercalia.

Lupercalia was a Roman fertility and purification festival held February 13–15th, involving:

  • Animal sacrifice
  • Blood rites
  • Whipping with hides
  • Nudity
  • Matchmaking
  • Laughter and sex

This was not romantic love.
This was primal, embodied truth.

Modern Erotic Translation

  • Consensual spanking or impact play
  • Ritual striking for devotion or fertility
  • Laughing, messy, unpolished sex
  • Choosing one another again with the body

This is why February has always been known as F*cking February.


💘 CHERUB LOVE vs. CUPID LOVE

February carries two very different love energies.

🪽 CHERUB LOVE — Sacred & Protective

Cherubs were not cute babies.
Biblically, they were fierce guardians placed at the gates of sacred spaces after innocence was lost.

Cherub love is:

  • Protective
  • Enduring
  • Loyal
  • Responsible

In D|s-M:

  • Ownership with responsibility
  • Submission rooted in trust
  • Rules that guard intimacy
  • Marks worn as honor

Cherub theme: Love

This is sacred. This is guarded. This is ours.


🏹 CUPID LOVE — Desire & Mischief

Cupid is a trickster.

His arrows spark:

  • Lust
  • Obsession
  • Curiosity
  • Erotic chaos

In D|s-M:

  • Flirting
  • Role-play
  • Teasing and denial
  • Dirty talk

Cupid love whispers:

Right now.
What if?
Again, Again!


🔥 February Balance

Cupid awakens desire.
Cherubs protect what desire builds.

You need both.


🗺️ SEXY BODY MAPPING: KNOWING THE TERRAIN

Before language, there was touch.

Sexy body mapping is the practice of learning the body as sacred terrain:

  • Where it opens
  • Where it guards
  • Where it craves
  • Where it remembers

Every body contains:

  • Hot zones
  • Slow zones
  • Sacred zones
  • Guarded zones

Cherub Body Mapping

Focuses on:

  • Heart
  • Belly
  • Neck
  • Face
  • Lower back

Touch is slow, reverent, protective.

Cupid Body Mapping

Focuses on:

  • Teasing
  • Surprise
  • Desire
  • Reaction

Touch is playful, curious, alive.

When you know the map, marks gain meaning.


💋 LOVE MARKS + BODY MAPPING

A bite placed on a known hot zone
A nail mark where surrender lives
Words written on a sacred curve

Marks become:

  • Memory anchors
  • Erotic reminders
  • Proof of being known

❤️ LOVE LANGUAGES — D|s-M STYLE

How Love Is Felt, Not Just Shown

February invites you to express love on purpose.
In a D|s-M dynamic, love languages are not passive preferences, they become pathways of devotion, trust, and erotic connection.

Each language answers a different emotional question.

Love Language: How It Lands in D|s-M
Words of Affirmation: Spoken desire, praise, dirty talk, written devotion, whispered ownership. —*Love is heard and believed.
Physical Touch: Intentional touch, marks, massage, claiming hands. *Love is felt through the body.
Acts of Service: Ritual care, preparation, anticipation, tending to needs. *Love is shown through action.
Gifts: Collars, notes, symbols, orgasms offered with meaning. Love is given and received.
Quality Time: Scenes, rituals, uninterrupted presence. Love is chosen and prioritized.

In D|s-M, love languages deepen because they are:

  • Intentional
  • Consensual
  • Embodied
  • Remembered

February asks:

How does your partner actually feel loved, and how can desire speak that language more clearly?

Love is not just something you feel.
It is something you practice.


💦 SELF-LOVE & MASTURBATION

Self-love is not separate from Dominance or submission.

February invites:

  • Mutual Masturbation
  • Masturbation as devotion
  • Orgasms offered as gifts
  • Valentine self-pleasure for your partner

Loving your body trains it to receive love better.


🍓 ROMANCE, FOOD & DRINK

February is sensory.

Explore:

  • Romance with food, SPLOSHING! (chocolate, strawberries, honey)
  • Drink Month: What’s Your Favorite Spirit?
  • Sensual massage
  • Candlelight and warmth
