There’s more to life than s*x, you know? Or, at least that’s what I’ve been told…
Hey, it turns out there are all kinds of really fun activities and hobbies that you and your significant other can do together when you have spare time.
And we’re about to hear about a bunch of them!
Here’s what folks had to say on AskReddit.
1. Great stuff.
“Playing pinball, playing Path of Exile, short to moderately long hikes, road trips, watching Jeopardy & nature/science documentaries, listening to music & going to concerts, really good meals.”
2. Cool!
“My girlfriend and I are in different cities, but when we move in together in the next few months and covid is done – she wants to take hip-hop dance classes. I’m a big awkward white guy and can’t wait.
We also have a jar filled with activities to do together and will draw from the jar. Soon we’ll have recipes we want to make, movies we want to watch, or mild activities to do together (walk/boardgames/listen to an audio book) and will combine all 3 for an easy date night.”
3. Let’s get deep.
“Playing video games together, smoking weed and having deep intellectual conversations.
The list goes on and on.”
4. Watching the fish.
“We got a fish tank just into lockdown and it’s been such a bonding experience for the both of us since!
We usually spark up a smoke and just sit, watch the fish and talk about anything and everything. It’s such a great way to unwind.
Although we now have 4 (soon to be 5) tanks up and running, two of those are 30g and 55g so my living room has been overtaken.”
5. Wow!
“Me and my husband like to build and race sailboats around the world last year we set the local record for fastest circumference of the world in a home made boat.”
6. Get in shape!
“We like to go to the gym together (in the past, now we workout at home and share weights).
Not necessarily doing the same workout, just working out at the same time in the same place. Same for yoga.”
7. Smells good in here!
“Cooking.
Find a recipe you want to try that is somewhat commiserate with your skill level that also has an instructional video (Gordon Ramsay has good ones). Buy the food, then watch it together, then cook together with music on.
Then, at the end, you can be proud of what you did and have had fun together.”
8. Self-care.
“We do each other’s beauty treatments.
I wax his *ss, he does my lip injections. I’ll do his pedicures, he colours my roots, I’ll pluck his brows, he spray tans me, I’ll do his chemical peels, he gives me lymphatic massages. It’s something we mutually enjoy and are good at and I love that we can share in rituals usually reserved as “self care”.
Also we save a lot of money doing the services to each other rather than going to salons or medi spas.”
9. Hit the town.
“Going out – go see live gigs etc.
We went to a strip club together on the weekend, that was fun and random.
Wasn’t as gross as youd thing, pole dancers have extreme strength and are inspiring to watch. Tried out some different pubs etc.”
10. The open water.
“Canoeing! And a bonus is that the whole family can get involved.
Our family bought a canoe earlier this summer, and we’ve all loved getting it out this summer. There’s something healing about being on the water.
My wife and I have gone out with just the two of us, and we’ve also taken out the kids before.”
11. All good things.
“Taking dogs to dog park, microbrewing, wine tasting, concerts, bike riding, traveling.”
12. Sounds very nice.
“We like to go on hikes or even just a walk around the neighborhood. We try to go on at least one walk a day.
Try to hit some of the fun parks and trails around us. If it’s a weekend we will usually parlay a nice long hike into drinks and some small finger foods after.
We are big fans of history. Love going to Gettysburg and seeing the battlefield, the museum, and the overall history. The haunted nature of the area is also pretty fun and interesting.
We love gardening and working on our landscaping around the house. Planning on what to do for the upcoming seasons, maintaining everything, and improving.”
13. That’s sweet.
“My wife has been unable to have s*x for the past 3 years after her cancer treatments.
We talk, play video games together, watch movies and TV, hang with our friends, take care of our pets and home. Although not being able to be intimate like that can be sad sometimes, its one of the last things you should worry about in a truly healthy relationship.
We share our lives together, both the good and the bad.”
14. Never bored together.
“Video games. Card games. Writing together. Streaming together.
Have a big like for butterfly museums and really anything video game related. I got really lucky in the shared hobbies group. And cant really get enough of her POV on things and she seems to reciprocate that.
So it’s rare we’re ever bored together. But there is never enough time. Maybe 2 to 3 hours a day on a good workday.”
