January
National Cuddle Up Day – 6TH
Spend some time getting close to your favorite cutie today! Did you know snuggles can increase sexual satisfaction and intimacy?
It can also increase your bond with your partner, boost your immune system and lowers blood pressure.
If you want to take it to the next level and your cuddles heat up, we recommend the Liberator Regular Fascinator Moisture-Proof Throw. It might resemble a cosy blanket for snuggling, but far sexier than your other soft furnishings. With its secret moisture barrier, this throw creates the perfect option for your sexy adventure, however wet it may get.
International Fetish Day – 15TH OR 3RD FRIDAY
In support of the BDSM community, this holiday started in the UK in ’08 to decriminalize pornography. Today we stand up together against policies that suppress civil liberties, hell yes we do! Let’s celebrate, wear purple and know that the Born to Be Wild community encourages you to be more open with your sexuality and lifestyle. Often fetishes include bondage and we have a great partnership with one of the most trusted brands on the market for bondage products as LoveHoney. Check out this link for fun ideas: Bondage is a Fetish.
We suggest learning more about yourself too by taking this educational and fun survey. What sex style(s) and acts of BDSM best fits you and your fantasies? Click here to find out.
National Compliment Day – 24TH
While technically an unofficial holiday, we are highlighting it on our calendar because kindness always comes first.
Compliments are more powerful than you might think, so share the love and pay it forward by saying something nice to a friend, lover, or even better, a perfect stranger. I love buying myself a new house plant to grow and nurture as a way to compliment myself for a job well done. Its so rewarding when it grows so large I must eventually re-pot it. Plus, they don’t dry and wilt as fast as fresh flowers.
We love THE SILL because they were founded on the premise that plants make people happy.
They ship house plants to your door and they have succulent programs with tons of education about the plants they offer. Check it out today and give yourself a compliment for being a great plant parent!
February
National Shower with a Friend Day – 5TH
We just have to admire this holiday for the simple fact that showering with a friend is a MUST on our list of favorite things to do. Get hot, wet and clean up all at the same time.
Funny enough, this holiday was created to educate people about the harmful effects of chlorine in our water! So, the goal is to take a filtered shower with a friend. A link to one of my favorite shower filters is here:
Galentine’s Day – 13TH
Definitely my favorite holiday and just another reason to celebrate the female friendships in your life that truly inspire you.
Now go share the love with your gal pals and celebrate yourselves!
National Drink Wine Day
Obviously, National Drink Wine Day is going to be represented. In addition to well known health benefits of red wine like reducing heart disease, stroke, lowering bad cholesterol and lowered risk for certain cancers, IT’S DELICIOUS! I prefer a fruity Sauv Blanc or Cab Blend, but whatever suits your fancy is sure to be a great choice.
Always try new wine and drink responsibility.
March
National Steak and BJ Day – 14TH
Men created this holiday and we don’t blame them. After all the ridiculous expectations that accompany V-Day: the gifts, cards, flowers, chocolates and dinners galore, these guys decided men need a little extra love too. We don’t feel this is any bit of backlash to the “feminist movement”, because shameless, pleasure focused, equality is what we are all about.
Looking for tips and tricks for your lips in that department? We suggest checking out shamelesssex.com for more information on fellatio classes by the famous #AmyBaldwin. Or if you just want to share a gift of self service with your guy, we always recommend the exciting variety of products at Hot Octopuss. They cater to men’s pleasure as well and the Pulse Solo Lux will certainly keep him engaged on this holiday!
April
National Cake & Cunnilingus Day – 14TH
Waive your egalitarian banners high once again ladies because, we’re going for another round. Who doesn’t love cake and head? I can’t think of anyone… We adore this holiday and encourage you to learn and explore. Visit our blog for a special post on the subject matter and a link to sexy article from Skirt Club featuring the gorgeous Dr. Holly Richmond.
The article has included everything you need to know about cunnilingus 101.
National Honesty Day – 30TH
Honesty is all about self empowerment, being real with others and with yourself. In my journey to be the most authentic version of myself, it has been the only path to living a fulfilling life. It’s not easy and I internalize my stress, wondering about what family, friends, and employers will think of me or my opinions and lifestyle.
We all struggle with being honest with ourselves or our partners at times, but can you imagine a relationship with yourself and your lover(s) with raw honesty? What would it feel like if they knew every thought in your head, about yourself, about them? Imagine how much more safe sex you’d have?
Take our 30 day honesty challenge! Walk a life of pure honesty in April and share your story on Instagram and tag us @borntobewildlifestyle. There is no grand gesture, no special merch discount or giveaway, just the pure realization that you’ve started a path to 100% sincerity and knowing that you have been liberated, is all worth it.
Or head over to the Beauty Box and learn more about Veracity. Veracity means ‘Habitually Truthful’ and that’s one of our favorite featured brands promises. Their approach is rooted in scientific research, validated by a medical advisory team, and committed to hormone clean – because we all deserve wellness solutions that address our whole health!
May
Masturbation Month
The health and wellness benefits of orgasming your way down a personal highway to happiness are likely longer than the Great Wall of China! This immunity boosting, sleep inducing, self indulging activity also triggers many of my favorite hormones including:

- #2 Endorphins – The body’s natural pain reliever
- #3 Oxytocin – LOVE
- #4 Prolactin – The mood regulator
- #5 Testosterone – Triggers arousal and sexual fantasies – oh la la!
Happy Birthday Born to be Wild Lifestyle! – 5TH
The website launched in May 2020 and continues to grow, while I share educational content and shame free posts on a variety of sex positive topics, including my own experiences as an openly bi-sexual woman. Celebrate by making a sex positive book suggestion for us to read and review on the blog for others, or share something new and inspiring with a consensual friend!

June
Pride Month
In June of 1969 the Stonewall Riots in NY were underway & gays were protesting against oppression working for equality that sparked from recent police raids. The first official celebration (Gay Pride Month) took place in 1994 and wasn’t fully recognized until a year later. It was founded by a high school teacher named Rodney Wilson. Learn more about him here. We think he’s a pretty wonderful guy because what started out as a history lesson one day, turned into a passionate mission that lives on stronger today, as it was then.
“The greatest act of advocacy for civil rights for LGBT Americans, is the act of coming out.”
– Rodney Wilson
National Loving Day – 12TH
This holiday has deep meaning because by 1967, only 16 states remained with anti-miscegenation laws. Alabama was the last state to end illegal inter-racial marriages, bringing this movement to a screeching halt in the US by the year 2000. This case set the precedent to begin fighting for same sex marriages and we love that progress! You can check it out here by reading more on the case: Loving Vs. Virgina.
While it never should have existed in the first place, in our opinion, we are glad this unconstitutional bull shit ended in 2015. Married or not, this day allows couples and partners of all races and ethnicities the freedom to share their love with whoever they choose. The government should never be allowed to discriminate against the people you love. WE LOVE THIS.
July
International Kissing Day – 6TH
Ah, kissing. If you’ve gotten to know our founder, then you understand that she never compromises on oral health and bad dental hygiene is a non-negotiable! Keep those teeth pearly white, using an electric toothbrush and a water pik or flauser is the best. Let’s be honest, no one likes bad breath.
Thanks to the UK, this holiday was adopted in the 2000’s in the US. Plain and simple, pucker up and swap some spit.
Fun Fact: Did you know Apes, Cats, Dogs & Dolphins kiss?

National Singles Day – 22ND
We skipped traditional Valentines Day for what we feel like are obvious reasons, to highlight some more delightful holidays in the year. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being single. More specifically, female solo independence is crushing gender stereotypes AND the benefits of being a single woman are enhancing our minds, bodies, souls and paychecks. Check out more info in this article from Psychology Today based on a Tinder survey, for some fun stats.
Let’s celebrate loving yourself first and then you will truly have the ability to love others. Self care tips & activities that have always worked great for us are:

- Gardening
- Listening to music or educational podcasts
- Use time off from work a few dates/year for a spa day just for you
October
Kink Month
If you aren’t already aware, a kink is something outside the norm that arouses you.
With so many fantastic kinky ideas and taboos out there, remember this is safe place for our followers to share, comment, find resources and ask questions about all the things that arouse us. It’s important to remember that just because you’re not into it, doesn’t mean it’s weird, gross, etc. AND that someone else might not enjoy it and prefer it.
One of the most common kinks include afflictions toward inanimate objects such as feet or love plugs with animal tails. If you don’t think its traditionally acceptable, its definitely kinky. Go on and embrace yo’ bad self all month long.
National Coming Out Day – 11TH
Anytime is a good time to “come out” in our opinion, but we do adore this empowering holiday to raise awareness about the broad spectrum that exists in when it comes to sexual preferences, identification and fluidity that exists for us as humans and for that, we’re putting it on the pleasure planner.
Fun Fact: Did you know this educational awareness day was created way back in 1988?
