Sexy Ways to Beat the Heat

In the heat of the summer, steamy sex can be boiling, but cooling things down can also be fun!

So while the temps keep rising, here are some fun ways to cool off together and get your mind off the heat. 🥵

  1. Take a cold shower
    Benefits include strengthening your immune function, helping sleep, speeding up your metabolism, boosting energy levels, and even making you more attractive.
  2. Grab ice for some temperature play
    This technique is used to stimulate the neuroreceptors under your skin, which gives the body a rush of sensations that, during foreplay, is translated into arousal.
  3. Go skinny dipping
    Getting naked more often actually improves your physical and sexual connection.
  4. Sleep on silk sheets
    Did you know that silk wicks moisture and heat away twice as fast as cotton? When you sleep on silk sheets, it will keep you cool when it’s hot outside.
  5. Run through the sprinklers together
    Have fun and let loose. Strengthen your recreational intimacy while playing together.
  6. Sleep naked
    Reducing your body temperature can help you fall asleep faster and also help keep you from waking throughout the night.

Today's Trivia Answer

Question: How many sex positions does the average couple rotate through?

A. 1-2 sex positions

B. 2-4 sex positions

C. 4-7 sex positions

D. 7-10 sex positions

The average couple rotates between just 2-4 sexual intimacy positions.

Especially when it comes to sex positions, it’s important to know what works and what doesn’t for the two of you.

However, many couples fall into the trap of finding something that works and never continuing to explore other options.

While those same few positions might get the job done, they can become boring after many years of marriage.

Even worse, the monotony can cause you to disengage in this crucial pillar of intimacy.

Since sexual intimacy is vital to your marriage, you need to be intentional about it.

Sex is so much more than something to cross off your to-do list!

Fortunately, there are subtle shifts you can make to your positions to increase the variety.

As a result, you can renew excitement and anticipation in your sexual intimacy.
