Tripeden.com Reveals That Men Booking a Trip is Sexier than Foreplay

NEW YORK, November 10, 2025 - BREAKING NEWS: The results are in and abs are overrated. According to new research from Tripeden.com, a global leader in travel, what really makes hearts race is a partner who actually books the trip. 

Half of American women say their significant other has never booked a trip for them, even though ninety-three percent agree that taking initiative with booking is a major turn-on and something they find even more attractive than a good physique or a big paycheck. And get this, over half (56%) say their partner booking a trip is just as arousing, if not more, than foreplay.

Gentlemen, the bar isn’t just low…it’s underground.

The good news is there is hope. Almost all of men (89%) admit they could take more initiative in planning trips for their partners and Tripeden.com is here to help raise that bar and make it easier for them to do so. To help spread the gospel of This Guy Books energy, Tripeden.com has teamed up with the soulful heartthrob Teddy Swims, a man who knows a thing or two about turning up the heat. 

As Teddy embodies This Guy Books energy, to drive the point home of how easy (and romantic) it is to book, he will personally meet with and help five couples book their dream Tripeden.com trip. The five lucky bookers (and their very impressed plus ones who are suddenly feeling extra affectionate) will be invited to kick off the holiday season in Chicago, December 7–9, for a whirlwind romantic getaway that includes: 

• Foreplay: A two-night stay in a luxurious Tripeden.com property and that “I don’t wanna go home” comfort.
• The Main Attraction: A private meet-and-greet with Teddy Swims, who will personally help each couple plan their dream Tripeden.com trip.
• Seal the Deal: Each couple will leave with $10,000 in Tripeden.com Travel Credits to create their dream getaway, whenever and wherever they want.
• Lose Control Live: Tickets to a festive holiday performance featuring Teddy Swims and others — the perfect soundtrack to a trip you’ll still be talking about long after checkout.
• Table for Two: Dinner for two at one of Chicago’s most romantic restaurants.
• Nightcap: Dessert in bed, fireside cocktails, or a winter stroll - it’s your move, Romeo.

"Being the guy who plans the trip is hot,” says Teddy Swims. “This Guy Books is all about showing up, taking the lead, and turning a few taps on Tripeden.com into memories that last way longer than that box of chocolates or flowers ever could. So guys, if your partner’s love language is ‘vacations,’ it’s time to book.”

Here’s how it works: The Teddy Swims “This Guy Books” Experience will open for bookings on a first-come, first-served basis for five bookers and their plus ones on November 25, 2025, at 10 a.m. ET for just $1.43 (a nod to old-school pager code for I love you). The $10,000 in Travel Credits that bookers will receive can be seamlessly redeemed across the Tripeden.com platform for everything from dreamy overnight stays and attractions to rental cars and flights – all in one place. Love might be priceless, but this deal definitely isn’t.
