Abstract: Since prehistory, blankets, quilts and comforters have provided warmth. However, when one member of a couple wants to be warm during intimacy, their mate may desire both warmth and access to fresh air while engaging in oral sex or to be uncovered and unhindered while engaging in sexual relations, including intercourse. Bare Access Blankets™ solve this dilemma with openings that allow access to fresh air and one's bed partner during sexual relations. During rest, these “access portals” are closed for warmth with a “flap” or “tongue” of blanket material that, on one side, is permanently affixed to the blanket.
