Just because you have someone to kiss when the ball drops does not mean that you will have an orgasmic New Year’s Eve. If 2009 is the year you want to take things to new sexual heights, then why not kick it off with fireworks and festivities all your own? Here’s how to guarantee some nookie on New Year’s Eve:

• Set the mood. Tell your partner early in the day that you can’t wait to ravage his/her naked body at the end of the night. Continue teasing your partner throughout the day by whispering sweet nothings, sending dirty texts, and doing some light petting, but save the big release until after Ryan Seacrest says, “Seacrest out.”

• Buy a sexy gift. Yes, we know that you’re probably inundated with gifts and broke after Christmas, but one extra item isn’t going to hurt. Buy a sexy gift for your partner (or for each other!) to lubricate the night for hot sex. Lingerie, cologne, a vibrator with a remote control are all gifts that keep on giving, especially if they give you and your partner a naughty secret to share when you’re out on the town.

• Assume flirtatious personas. Sure, everyday you’re the bill-paying, house-cleaning, normal couple, but on New Year’s Eve you can be anyone you like. If you’re heading out to a party, get dressed separately and surprise your partner with a sexy outfit and attitude to match. If you’re staying in, try a little role-playing and live out a fantasy you’ve been thinking about.

• Moderate alcohol consumption. While New Year’s Eve is certainly a festive occasion, drinking too much can be a buzz kill when it comes to sexual performance. If you’ve ever been horny while your partner was passed out in his/her own vomit, then you understand why this tip is important. Share a bottle of wine or order up some nice cocktails, but avoid mixing drinks and doing shots if you want sex to be the focus of the evening.

• Dance. Whether you’re at a party or at home, put on some music that gets you in the mood and dance with each other. The physical closeness and touching is arousing, and the endorphins from dancing aren’t bad, either. If you’re not much of a dancer, you can achieve the same effect by touching your partner in a sensual, but non-sexual, way throughout the night. For example, brushing his arm as you hand him a drink or a putting your hand on her waist as you pass by are little erotic cues for what you have in mind later on.

Everyone wants to start the New Year off with a bang, some are just looking for the right (or right now) partner to pull it off with. If you’re single and looking to get laid when the ball drops, here are some New Year’s nookie tips:

• Get online. If you haven’t checked out the online casual sex scene, now might just be the right time. Sites like craigslist casual encounters, AdultFriendFinder, and FetLife (for BDSM and fetish community) cater to adults looking for intimate encounters with no strings attached.

• Get thee to a party. Find a good party in your area to attend, preferably one with the potential for booty. Skip your married friend’s dinner party and hit up a club that more singles will be attending.

• Get noticed. Since you’ll be socializing, why not make sure you get noticed? Put together a great, sexy outfit and head out with attitude. Be your best, confident self, and you’re sure to get some attention.

• Get reacquainted with an old flame. New Year’s Eve is a time when many look back and get nostalgic. That makes it a totally appropriate time to reconnect with old acquaintances. Send a casual email to that attractive former co-worker, friendly ex, or the crush you had in high school that you never got to consummate.

• Treat yourself. Since you probably saved some dough not having to buy a partner a gift, why not treat yourself to a little present of your own? A massage, a makeover, or a new outfit could give a little boost of confidence, making you more noticeable and attractive.

• Be prepared. Being ready for a sexual encounter is half the battle, or at least makes it go a lot more smoothly when you find a willing and able partner. Have condoms, lube, and whatever other accessory you need on hand, and make sure your apartment is clean and sex-friendly, or have an alternative.
