Pepper Schwartz, PhD, professor of sociology, University of Washington, offers five romantic ideas for physicians on Valentine’s Day. Schwartz advises physicians to promote seduction, planning a romantic date or trip, and building anticipation. It is also important to stimulate the five senses in order to achieve sensuality, which can be done through good food and music. Third is the element of surprise, giving your partner something more than they expected or something they had hoped for. Specialness is also key, as studies have shown the body’s response when introduced to novelties. Finally, Dr. Schwartz recommends splurging, and spending the money necessary to have a fabulous Valentine’s Day treat.
