As the summer heat cranks up, doing the deed might not seem appealing, especially without the good ‘ol air conditioner. But don’t sweat it— literally! Here are some cool summer sex tips to keep the passion alive.
1Go with the quick(ie) route.
If you’re all about slow, sensual lovemaking, it might be time to switch gears. Longer sessions in the bedroom mean more body heat and sweat, which can be sexy for some— the idea of sweat dripping all over each other’s trembling bodies can spice up the deed.
However, not everyone likes the idea of excess sweat during sex. If you’re one of those peeps, opt for quickies. They’re like regular sex, just with less foreplay. Typically, a quickie starts with a brief makeout session and some light touching before diving right into penetrative sex. It’s fast and efficient, usually lasting around 5-7 minutes, but you can always adjust the duration to suit your preferences.
Since most women need more time to get in the mood, adding some sensual teasing before a quickie can work wonders. If you’re living together, start by whispering sweet nothings and stealing kisses throughout the day. Now, for those who are apart from one another, keep the heat going with some naughty texts to build anticipation. By the time you’re ready to dive into the quickie, she’ll already be in the sultry mood, ready for some steamy action.
We also recommend sneaking in the session right before bed or first thing in the morning for a cooler experience.
2Make sure drinks are within reach.
If you would think about it, sex and exercising are pretty much the same. Both elevate heart rates, engage muscles, release endorphins, and help you lose some calories. And just like a quick workout, sex demands proper hydration.
So, if you’re getting busy between the sheets, staying hydrated is crucial. Keep a bottle of cold water or your favorite drink nearby, whether on the bedside table or within arm’s reach of the bed. Hydration becomes even more critical during hot weather, particularly with increasing cases of heat stroke. So, remember to sip and stay refreshed!
3Get wet (and wild) with shower sex.
No AC? No problem! Dive into some steamy shower sex to beat the heat and get those intense Os flowing. Keep note of the challenges, though, which include difficulty in engaging in certain sexual activities such as vaginal or anal sex; navigating positions for penetrative plays can pose a challenge, especially for those peeps with smaller bathrooms.
Water-based lubricants may also wash away easily, so consider using a silicone-based or hybrid-based lube. You can also stick with your favorite water-based lubricant, but you need to turn off the shower when applying it to your genitals.
Not only that, but there are also risks of injuries, especially if you and your boo start to get carried away with certain acts; you can easily combat this risk, though, by taking things slow.
4Chill out with temperature play.
Another fun way to turn up the heat while cooling down is through temperature play. If you’re new to this kink, it’s all about introducing cool or warm sensations during sex.
With summer in full swing, the focus naturally shifts towards chilling temperatures. You can spice things up by running an ice cube over your partner’s skin for an electrifying chill, incorporating a cooling lubricant for added sensation, or even indulging in both temperature and food play with ice cream.
5Surprise your boo with a staycation.
If you and your partner are sweltering without AC in your own spaces, why not indulge in a steamy escape at a nearby hotel? It’s a surefire way to crank up the sensual passion without worrying about the heat.
Of course, this option might not be feasible for everyone, especially those on a tight budget. But don’t worry—there are other tips in this guide that you can try. So, while a hotel rendezvous might not be in the cards, you can still find creative ways to get sensual in the comfort of your own space.
Takeaway
The weather may be blazing, but that shouldn’t stop you from getting the pleasure you deserve. With the tips we’ve shared above, your summer is guaranteed to stay sizzling. Don’t also forget to follow safe sex basics, such as using contraceptives, getting informed consent, and having regular check-ins during the deed.
So, go ahead, beat the heat, and enjoy a season of steamy passion!
