Our top 3 products for the top 3 New Year's resolutions
New year, new resolutions – and this time we're sticking to them!
Why? Because good resolutions don't have to be difficult. On the contrary: they can feel easy, bring people together and even be really enjoyable.
Here are our top 3 New Year's resolutions – and the matching basics4joy favourite products that help you enjoyably implement them.
1. Exercise more 🏃♀️❤️️
(The classic new year resolution, same as every year)
Exercise is good for you – we all know that. But let's be honest: not every workout feels like fun. The good news? There are alternatives that are just as effective – and much more enjoyable.
Calories burned per session*
Studies with healthy couples show:
An intimate session of approx. 25 minutes (including foreplay) burns on average:
• Men: approx. 101 calories (4.2 kcal/min.)
• Women: approx. 69 calories (3.1 kcal/min.)
👉 This is roughly equivalent to a brisk walk.
So the question is: walk or pleasure?
Estimated calorie consumption for 30 minutes
• Foreplay: ~55–72 kcal
• Passionate kissing: ~34–45 kcal
• Missionary position (on top): ~115–143 kcal
• Cowgirl (active): ~122–172 kcal
• Cuddling afterwards: ~30–60 kcal
And don't forget: the best results are achieved with at least 3 repetitions per week.
Results are individual and may vary.
Our sporty product recommendation:
👉 Nocturnal Sex Swing – €69.99
More freedom of movement, new angles, more dynamism.
👉Sexmax bed sheet 180 × 260 cm
For sweaty sessions without stress afterwards.
👉Aqua Super Slippery Lubricant (500 ml)
Because good movement should also glide well.
2. Prioritise relationships & intimacy 💞
Time for each other – consciously and undisturbed
In everyday life, intimacy often gets lost between appointments, to-do lists and exhaustion. Especially now, when the evenings are longer and the days are colder, it's the perfect time to cuddle up.
✨ Extra tip:
In February, basics4joy has a special couples' menu – ideal for conscious togetherness.
Our heartfelt recommendation:
👉 Le Wand – Little Pleasures Set
Sensual, high-quality, versatile.
Currently reduced from €200 to €129.
Perfect for couples who want to rediscover each other – without pressure, but with lots of emotion.

3. Less screen time, more real experiences 📵✨
Less scrolling, more joy. Fewer likes, more closeness.
Offline time can be incredibly bonding – especially when it becomes playful.
Our playful alternative to smartphones:
👉 Tower of Sex – The Game (new!) - € 19.95
A game that has nothing to do with joysticks – but everything to do with curiosity, humour and real connection. Ideal for couples who want to switch off together.
Conclusion: Good intentions should feel good
More exercise. More intimacy. More real time.
When intentions bring joy, we stick with them – without any pressure.
