Sex in a Heat Wave

Newsflash: It’s hot. Really, really hot. The upside to this, of course, is that you get to see girls clad in very short-shorts and tight tank tops or, if you live in the right area, those sexy little beach cover-ups.

There’s another benefit: Studies say that the warm weather, the sun beating down on our half-naked bodies, and all those lazy days by the pool lead to increased libido. That’s because sunlight leads to an increase in production of Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone, which has been shown to increase a woman’s sex drive.

The irony, here, of course, is that while sunny and warm weather increases our sex drive, when it gets this hot – 95 degrees before noon with approximately six zillion percent humidity – everybody’s already so hot and sticky it can be tough to get in the mood for activities that make you more sticky and sweaty.

How about these warm-weather tips to stay cool and sexy, while taking advantage of that libido-boosting sunshine?

Water, water everywhere. This is the kind of weather that makes you want to strip down naked and jump in the pool. Go for it! Convince your partner to do the same and enjoy your own private pool party. Use lots of silicone-based lubricant because water (ironically) washes away both natural lubrication and water-based lubricants.

Also remember that chlorine can potentially cause a condom to weaken and break. Don’t let all this put a damper on your fun, just be safe and stick with a monogamous partner for this one!

Ice is nice… Mmm… who needs air conditioning when you can rub ice cubes up and down your partner’s naked body? It’s cooling and stimulating and oh-so-sexy. Or use fresh frozen fruit (like strawberries) and then chow down. Many tantric sex practices incorporate fruit as foreplay, for its nutritive values and sensual scent and taste.

Icy cool oral sex. Give your partner a sexy blast of cool air by chewing peppermint breath mints or even fresh mint before a blow job. Gulping a cold beverage (make it a Mojito for the minty blast!) and then going down on him creates “just-cold-enough” sensations, too, for a unique pleasure experience. Even better, use the Good Head One Shots for the same cool sensation in a variety of delicious flavors. Yum!

Chill out. A cold shower may sound counter-intuitive for revving up your sex drive, but it could be just what you need to get cool and comfortable enough for a cuddle – and more! Don’t waste time drying off much… just grab each other and go for it!

Stay out of bed. The last thing we want is lie on a cushy mattress, surrounded by pillows, when it’s warm. How about sex on the coffee table, floors…? Any place flat will do. Or wait until after hours when temps drop and hit your backyard lawn?

Sunburned? Use aloe gel. Nothing puts a damper on nookie like sunburn. Turn treatment into foreplay by asking your lover to gently – very gently! – rub chilled aloe vera gel on your sore spots and see where all the gentle rubbing leads. (Just keep the gel away from your privates; there’s a reason the bottle reads: “for external use only.”

When the sun is hot, you should be, too. Use these creative tips – or come up with your own ideas to combine cold water play with hot sex.
