5. The perfect outfit
The perfect outfit is the one you feel perfect in. Little black dress, favorite jeans and flannel, pajama onesie, hiking boots or thigh high boots—whatever will make you feel like fire while saying “Smell you later, 2018!”
4. Cash for tipping
TBH, there’s nothing sexier than paying people what they deserve while ushering in a brand new year. (Psst—this is actually sexy all year round.) Even if you typically pay with a card or an online wallet, consider carrying cash just for tipping. The likelihood of the recipient keeping all of it is much higher!
3. The Uber or Lyft app
Be ready to call for a ride if you’ll be drinking at all. Go ahead and make sure one of those apps is on your phone and ready to use before you go out. Is money tight this NYE? Milwaukee County Transit has got you covered with free bus rides after 8 pm, and extended services on many routes. Might as well put their app on your phone, too.
2. Your favorite safer sex supplies
What are you into? Blow jobs, anal, or good ol’ penis-in-vagina sex? Grab some condoms before you go out. Fingering, hand jobs, or fisting? You’ll want a few gloves and a lube packet handy. Eating pussy or eating ass? Make sure you’ve got a dental dam or a piece of cling wrap with you. Put together a discreet little kit and be ready for whatever your heart, and genitals, desire.
1. Consent
Drunk people can not consent to sex—even if they’re initiating it. Rubbing naughty bits with a friend (or two! or more!) can be a great way to kick off a new year. But don’t do it drunk. Keep your drinking to a minimum, and don’t get sexy with someone who has had even a little too much. There’s just no need to start 2019 with hazy memories, regrets, and questions about assault.
