A sex room (sometimes referred to as a sex dungeon or a playroom) is a space that is dedicated to your pleasure.

What is the Purpose of a Sex Room?

How to Make Space for Pleasure

When people talk about wanting a sex room, they often disregard this desire as “just another fantasy.” Melanie proves that any space can be made into a sex room when she renovates the gardens, basements, and RVs of couples around the U.S.

My own office, which acts as a studio for Lovers weekly Instagram Q&A’s and lives, serves as a part-time sex room, with zone’s designated to lingerie, sex toys, and kink. Understandably, not every space can be designated exclusively to pleasure, but I appreciate the frequent reminder that pleasure is always at my fingertips.

Think about the spaces in your home. Can any of these areas be reworked to better pleasure you? We’ve helped couples to create sex rooms in their garages, spare closets, in-law homes, and tree houses. Where will you make space for your pleasure?
