Win a two-night stay in a stunning five-star hotel in Cork

With it being the month of Valentine’s, we’re definitely feeling the love these days. But with all the romance in the air, it can make you realise when you need to make a bit more time for love. It can be hard to carve out some time for intimacy with your partner with the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and sometimes, a break away is exactly what you both need to light your spark again.

IMAGE has teamed up with Durex this month to promote women’s sexual needs, and to encourage couples everywhere to be more upfront about sex and relationships. Women’s needs are so often overlooked when it comes to how society views sex, and we want to change that — starting with sexual comfort. Durex is on a mission to liberate women from sexual discomfort, by giving them the inspiration, knowledge, tools, and products to feel good during sex every time.

While many view Durex products, like lube to be all about experimentation, for many women, they are key to ensuring that sex is an enjoyable experience. Durex Natural Gels is a lubricant for everyday use, designed to normalise the use of lubricants for sex as a simple, natural gel that will work with your body to moisturise intimate areas for smoothness and comfort.

Their new trailer shows women taking charge of their sex lives and using Durex Natural Gels to make sure they’re enjoying their escapades. Check it out here:

To celebrate Durex’s milestone project, IMAGE and Durex are offering one lucky reader a chance to spark some romance, with a two-night stay at a luxury 5-star resort in Cork. You can head down with your partner for some well-earned quality time, and will also receive a dinner in their restaurant on one of the evenings (if you can pull yourselves away from the bedroom, that is).

To be in with a chance of winning this stunning prize, simply answer the question and enter your details into the form below (hint: the answer may or may not lie in the brand new Durex ad). The competition will close on February 28. Good luck!
