Find Your Wiggle: Summer Sex and how to keep things clean, fresh, and hot!

Longer days, lighter clothes, and mood-boosting sunshine? It's the perfect time to revitalize your sex life, develop your connections, and elevate your intimacy, whether that’s with your partner or yourself. Without the sweat, sandy bits, and friction burn! 

Here's how to make the most of the summer days ahead and enjoy summer sex.

Harness the Power of Sunlight for Healthy Summer Sex

Exposure to sunlight boosts the production of mood-enhancing hormones like serotonin and dopamine, which can increase libido. Spending time outdoors not only elevates your mood but also enhances your connection with your partner.

Stay Cool, Stay Sensual

High temperatures can dampen desire, but with the right approach, you can keep things hot. Choose positions that minimize body contact to stay cool. Positions like 'Seated Reverse Cowgirl' or 'Edge of Heaven' can be both comfortable and exciting. Or try incorporating ice cubes into foreplay for a thrilling sensory experience. The contrast between cold and warm sensations can heighten arousal.

Prioritize Self-Care

A healthy mind and body are essential for a fulfilling sex life. Engage in activities that reduce stress and enhance well-being like regular exercise, mindful practices like meditation or yoga can help manage stress and increase body awareness, and ensure you get enough sleep!

Embrace Novelty

There is always a sense of freedom in the air as summer arrives in Cyprus. Warmer temperatures, lighter evenings, a relaxed atmosphere, and a holiday vibe. All these add to the romance of your relationships. Capitalise on the novelty of summer days with activities outside of the bedroom like mountain hikes, trips to new beaches, and other activities to stimulate dopamine and enhance connection.

Practice Safe Sex

With increased social interactions, it's important to prioritize sexual health; make sure you have contraception covered, use lubricant to keep things smooth, clean your toys with a proper cleaning spray and if you’re sexually active with new or multiple partners, consider regular STI screenings for peace of mind.
