Naughty Holidays to Celebrate All Year Long
Did you know that there are tons of special observances sprinkled throughout the year devoted to celebrating all things intimacy? National days, international days, days made up entirely by the internet, entire months…all about sex, self pleasure, sexual wellness, love, kink, and romance.
Check out this list of all the special international and national days you didn’t know existed…but you want to! Not that you need excuses to have more sex and try new things in the bedroom, but it can’t hurt, right? Make sure you and your lover put some of these in your phone calendars or planners so you don’t forget to “celebrate” each one in the most fitting way possible.
JANUARY
January 5th: Dating Sunday
The first Sunday of the new year has become known as “Dating Sunday” – a.k.a. the highest-traffic day on dating apps and websites. If your new year’s resolutions include looking for love, this is the busiest day to find it on the internet!
January 17th: International Fetish Day
First held in 2009, the third Friday in January is International Fetish Day. This annual observance is dedicated to the support and acceptance of the BDSM & Fetish communities, and works to destigmatize erotic fetishism of all kinds.
FEBRUARY
Body Awareness Month
Use this month to celebrate your body and love every part of it. Curl up with a good book about this subject, or put on some sexy lingerie to show off your best assets. You know you and your lover find each other hot as heck no matter what, so make sure to celebrate & share all that body positivity with your lover.
February 5th: Shower Together Day
Also known as “Shower with a Friend Day”, this was originally created as a cheeky environmental holiday devoted to conserving water by showering with a friend. Most couples, however, interpret this directive another way. Save water with some hot & steamy sex or foreplay in the shower.
February 7th: National Work Naked Day
If you’re lucky enough to still WFH and can get away with it, this is a fun one! Don’t forget to schedule an extra long lunch break with your partner.
February 13th: National Condom Day
Condoms are hugely important for safer sex. If you don’t want your Valentine’s Day weekend festivities to potentially add a new human (or an STI) to the equation, don’t forget to wrap it up.
February 14th: Valentine’s Day
The historic origins of Valentine’s Day are a bit cloudy at best, but it’s still a great day to celebrate love and romance. Honor this popular mushy-gushy holiday with your partner with the classics. Flowers, chocolates in a heart-shaped box, perhaps a rosy clit kisser, too. A romantic candlelit dinner followed by a sensual massage on a bed of rose petals, or playing a sexy game together is a great way to celebrate, too!
MARCH
March 3rd: National Threesome Day
Results of various studies indicate that around 95% of men and 87% of women have fantasized about a threesome at some point in their lives. What better date to make it happen than 3/3? If trying a threesome is on your sexual bucket list, have an open discussion with your partner and decide who would be a good third party. If an in-person three-way is a bridge too far, try including your desired play partner in a sexy virtual chat session first. You may find you want to turn it into an in-person party sooner than you thought!
March 4th: Mardi Gras
French for “Fat Tuesday”, this occasion marks letting go of your inhibitions and going hog wild with excess before Lent begins. Make love easy like you were in the Big Easy. Stimulate all of your senses with sumptuous seafood, fine wines, and great jazz & blues. Touch and taste each other, too, and laissez les bons temps rouler all day and all night!
March 14th: Steak & Blowjob Day
Billed as “the man’s answer to Valentine’s Day”, this concisely-named celebration gives guys what they really want out of romance, apparently. If this sounds like your man’s idea of a great time, treat him to a delicious steak. Then finish off his meal with a sweet BJ for dessert.
APRIL
Couples Appreciation Month
Lover’s Lane has built our business around helping couples explore & discover adventurous possibilities for their love lives. Focus on strengthening your relationship and building toward many happy years together.
April 14th: Cake & Cunnilingus Day
Continuing the trend of “what random sexy holiday should we make up for the 14th of THIS month?”, this one is apparently the women’s answer to Steak & BJ Day. Make sure your ladies finish their evening meal with a tasty piece of cake—and then you may dine on their delight down below.
April 16th: National Horny Day
We know, isn’t every day? But why not enjoy making this day an extra special occasion to light up your libido?
April 18th: Anal Sex Day
Just be sure to have extra lube on hand – and other body parts so you can slide comfortably in through the out door. Always helps to have a reason to give it a go!
April 24th: Lingerie Day
Consider this a consensual barely clad costume party. Help each other pick out a new lacy or silky outfit or role-playing uniform for this year’s sexy shenanigans.
MAY
International Masturbation Month
You may think you know every way to get a grip, but this month was designed to challenge you to try new ones or one of the increasingly growing tool kit of adult toys to help you get off. Go solo or make it mutual.
May 5th: Make Out Day
We also refer to it as Foreplay Day, because the best way to get a love friction fire started is by making out. If you haven’t done it in a while, use this day to brush up on your flirting, hugging, kissing and other related skills.
May 8th: Outdoor Intercourse Day
If you and your partner are the outdoors type, this is an ideal way to get warm on a cool spring day. There’s usually some place you can find a little privacy. Unless you’ve always wanted to explore exhibitionism, then it’s the right day to go public with your passions.
May 14th: Online Romance Day
With more and more relationships starting online these days, why not have a special day to celebrate those soulmates you found through an app. Maybe if you’re looking for love, but weren’t ready to start yet on Dating Sunday, this would be a good day to start your profile. Just make sure to keep safety in mind.
JUNE
LGBTQ+ Pride Month
Take time this month to celebrate the LGBTQ community. Started to commemorate the Stonewall riots of 1969, this month focuses on honoring the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer individuals have had on history – locally, nationally, and internationally. It’s a great time to recognize the contributions of people in your LGBTQ+ community, learn about the history, and find ways you can contribute to fostering a more inclusive society.
June 2 – National Sex Workers Rights Day
This holiday marks an event in 2001, when more than 25,000 sex workers in India gathered for a festival despite prohibitionist groups who tried to prevent it by pressuring the government to revoke their permit. Sex worker groups across the world have subsequently celebrated March 3rd as an annual, international event to promote health and human rights for sex workers.
June 9 – National Sex Day
Fittingly, this special day is held on 6/9, so make it a day to flip for your partner!
June 21 – World Kama Sutra Day
This intriguing ancient Indian Hindu Sanskrit text on sexuality, eroticism and emotional fulfillment in life can open the door to either sex positions you’ve never tried or orthopedic pains you never knew were possible or both. Spend the day reading the verses, studying the images, and attempting said new positions.
June 22 – No Panty Day
The temperature should be just right to wear less, so leave the panties in the drawer. You never know what fun it might lead to and where.
JULY
July 4 – Independence Day
Exercise your freedom to have sex as much as you like today. There’s more than one place to experience a colorful fireworks show, too, so be especially patriotic in the bedroom this year!
July 6 – Kissing Day
Kissing makes the world go ‘round. Or was that love? When you kiss you can spin your partner’s world with both. So get those lips locking early and often!
July 14 – National Nudity Day
Some people enjoy spending the day au naturel. Others enjoy taking and sending photos of themselves in the all together. Either way, make sure you trust the people around you or that you’re sending photos to, if that’s how you roll.
July 21 – Handjob Day
It’s always good to know what’s on the task list for the day, and today’s assignment is pretty clear. Any questions?
July 24 – BDSM Day
Have you been curious about trying something under the BDSM umbrella? If so, this is a perfect day to give it a try. Negotiate the scene and experiences you desire, make sure your partner agrees, and then give your newly-released skills in dominance, submission, sadomasochism, bondage and discipline a good workout!
July 31 – National Orgasm Day
A day during which finding multiple ways to express intense physical pleasure vocally represents the preferred way to celebrate.
AUGUST
Romance Awareness Month
August should be plenty warm enough for those who like it hot. Your responsibility for this final month of the summer glow is to share summer romance in the great outdoors as much as possible. Whether it’s sex in the city, intimate courting in the country, or a camping trip for two somewhere in the secluded woods, just keep how to make everything more romantic in forefront of your mind.
Aug 5 – National Underwear Day
Don’t be square! Cool off in (nothing but) your favorite underwear! Buy each other something new and then savor the private modeling show that follows.
Aug 24 – Go Topless Day
Another ideally-timed summer celebration, this one was started to draw attention to the cause of topfreedom – the right of women to be topless in public where men are allowed. Many use this day to protest the laws in states where topless women are prohibited or draw attention to discriminatory policies on social media.
SEPTEMBER
Sexual Health Awareness Month
Awareness of sexual health and the far-reaching impacts it can have in our lives has grown increasingly important. It no longer means simply taking measures to protect yourself against STIs or unplanned pregnancy. Rather, maintain your physical & emotional health so you can enjoy the intimacy and pleasure of a robust sex life to the fullest.
Sept 4 – World Sexual Health Awareness Day
Being conscious of your sexual health every day is vital and contributes significantly to your individual and relationship health, so lots to celebrate this month and this day!
Sept 23 – Bisexuality Day
This day is recognized by and unites the bisexual community, family, friends and supporters. It’s also intended to raise understanding about any prejudices regarding bisexuals by the straight or LGBTQ+ communities and often features events designed to educate and enhance awareness about the bilifestyle and biromance.
OCTOBER
National Kink Month
What better time to get all your kinks out and know they’re being celebrated nationally? Do it for yourself, do it for your lover. No reason go get tied up about your kinky desires. Or maybe every reason to get tied up or try some new adventures to whip your sex life into a frenzy!
Oct 1 – Massage Day
After kissing and making out, a sensuous and well-oiled massage may be the optimum way to manipulate your love engines into action! Experiment with different scented and flavored oils and make a day of rubbing it all in.
Oct 17 – National Ass Day
We know…this sounds like a good day for airing grievances to your evil boss or obnoxious neighbor, but we’re talking about the other kind of ass. It’s a day to highlight and show off the beauty that is your booty! So rustle up that favorite pair of assless chaps and cowboy boots or a colorful thong and let it all hang out!
October 21 – International Fisting Day
Yes, really. It may be controversial and require a great deal of careful lubrication & preparation. But many couples enjoy it as part of their randy repertoire. If you consider yourself on the sexually bold & daring side, remember to focus on slowly inserting all five digits, not punching your way into your partner’s privates.
Oct 31 – Halloween
See if you can find a scary or naughty party costume that doubles as a bedroom costume and then get your role play groove on for some boudoir trick-or-treating!
NOVEMBER
Nov 4 – National Sex Toy Day
No more excuses. Take advantage of this day to try out a new adult toy or device and see where they take you. Hopefully, you’ll discover orgasmic heights you’ve never achieved!
Nov 23 – Polyamory Day
On this day in 2011, the Supreme Court of British Columbia ruled that the anti-polygamy law of Canada does not affect unformalized polyamorous households. Just remember when engaging in multiple romantic and sexual relationships that everyone involved consents!
Nov 27 – Spanksgiving
Celebrate your love of impact play by turning a not very sexy holiday into your own kinky play day! Try your hand at new paddles, floggers, whips and crops that take your partner for a good ride by the seat of their (lack of) pants!
DECEMBER
Dec 22nd: Global Orgasm Day
A day when everyone around the world should be so focused on giving, receiving, and enjoying orgasms that all of humanity surely will want to cum together and give peace a chance!
Dec. 25th: Merry Christmas!
‘Tis the season to be jolly! Gift an exciting new pleasure product to someone you love; maybe something that you can both enjoy together. If your pleasure chest is fully stocked, think about giving a specially planned romantic date or weekend trip to an exotic location instead. And don’t forget to stuff those fishnet stockings with goodies!
Dec. 31st: New Year’s Eve
Time to transfer all of these dates – and maybe some new personal sex holidays you’ve discovered along the way – to your 2026 calendar! Don’t forget to reflect on your year in intimacy and come up with some new ideas and resolutions to keep spicing things up in the new year!
