Making love in the summer is not always very comfortable, especially during the hot weather. We give you eight tips that will allow you to enjoy your summer libido without constraints.
Science has proven it: when the mercury goes up, so does the libido. However, to be able to take advantage of this increase in desire with your partner, the case can be complicated. When it is warm, we are more tired, we sweat, we pegue… So many inconveniences that can spoil a sensual atmosphere very quickly. If you don’t want to say goodbye to your summer sex life, several tips can help you lower the temperature… To better raise it!
Whether it’s changing places, positions, finding new sources of fresh air or even incorporating accessories into your time together, there are many possibilities available to you to make summer sex more bearable. To help you find ideas, here is eight tricks tested and approved!
Choose your position well
To ensure maximum comfort in your antics, the first essential advice is to choose your position carefully. The kamasutra is very extensive, but in the summer, we will rather favor positions that let the air circulate. Poses that will allow you not to sweat too much against each other, which is never very pleasant. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, the sexologist Mieke Mievis advises, for example, the position of the doggy style. This great classic allows deep penetration, but also and above all limits contact between the skin of the two partners. If it can be harmful during other parts of the year, in summer, it is very welcome!
If you are not very doggy, many other possibilities exist in the dedicated collection. Choose rather positions with little contact. The Amazon or the Indra position can be ideal. Choose positions that do not require too much physical effort, which could accentuate the feeling of fatigue.

Make love on the floor
Cat owners must have already noticed this. Our favorite felines have found a way not to suffer from the heat in summer. As soon as the mercury rises a little too much for them: they lay on the ground, on the tiles. The idea may seem absurd but the stone keeps the freshness very well, and could well be beneficial for your part of legs in the air!
Of course, plan a little comfort: a pillow, or even two, and make the most of this space at a temperature a little more bearable than the summer average. However, this option is not necessarily suitable for people with, for example, back problems.
Privilege the freshness of the night
Sometimes freshness is simply a matter of timing. For more comfort, it is sometimes better shift your leg part in the air by a few hours, to let the mildness of the night drive away the heat wave. On average, the temperatures are less intense once the evening is well settled, which will allow you to enjoy without the summer inconvenience.
Install the mosquito net, light a small mood light or a candle (with lemongrass) for a subdued side, and you are ready!

Turn on the fan
If you don’t want to wait until nightfall, or worse, it’s still too hot there, a very simple method will allow you to remedy the problem, at least in part: the fan. This solution may seem obvious, but we don’t always think about it.
Be careful not to abuse this friend of high heat. The air stirred by the fan is not necessarily very good for your health, and could also have, in the long term, unexpected consequences on your shared moment. Indeed, the stirred air can make your muscles suffer: they contract, and can cause cramps or torticollis. Enough to put a stop to any sporting activity!
Enjoy a lukewarm bath or shower
We have all already experienced the pleasure of jumping into the pool after a day in the sun! Here it’s a bit the same thing, but available on a daily basis when it’s a little too hot, and especially with a naughtier purpose. Take a lukewarm bath or shower together can be a particularly pleasant and titillating experience. Water keeps bodies warm and protects against sweat if it arises, while bringing a little novelty and spice to your sexuality.
As a little extra, your bathtub and your shower offer many new possibilities. Whether at the level of touch, or for example by playing with the shower head. You are free to enjoy it as you see fit. Be careful all the same with the suction cup effect if you decide to practice penetration.

Dare to use ice cubes
This trick is the perfect two-in-one: it will add a breath of fresh air to your sex life, and will certainly refresh you! You will need a little preparation beforehand. Simply plan to have a few ice cubes in the freezer before your part of legs in the air. During your foreplay, opportunely add one of the small ice cubes to your practice.
Put it in your mouth (or that of your partner) and slide the ice cream over the other’s body, gently. The sensation is unique, and particularly exciting, in addition to being refreshing! If you can’t hold the cold for very long, consider placing a small bowl next to the bed, so that you can put the ice cube in between two passes.
To test even more intense sensations, do not hesitate to introduce the ice cube into your practice of oral sex. Either by keeping the ice cream in your mouth, or by enjoying the freshness left by its wake.

Little tips if you use sex toys
In the same vein as ice cubes, if you are one of those who love, or at least have a few sex toys, summer is the perfect time to try new things with it. Perfect little trick to combine useful and pleasant and cool down: put your sex toys in the fridge, or even in the freezer. This works particularly well with toys made of natural materials, glass, metals or stones. Some silicones can also react to the cold and give you new sensations.
This will allow you to casually add a little icy touch to your antics. Perfect for couples looking for something new! Be careful though if the sex toy in question contains electronics. Do not hesitate to take a look at the instructions before you start.

Do not hesitate to take your time
What can be difficult when you make love in summer is also the physical effort it requires: we don’t talk about sports in the bedroom for nothing. In order to slightly reduce the inconveniences linked to the rise in mercury, one of the best techniques is to favor practices and a rhythm that is a little slower and gentler. This can be an opportunity to experiment further with foreplay, or even stick to this type of sex, without penetration and just as pleasant.
Take the opportunity to rediscover yourself with your other half, without imposing pressure on yourself. Sex is above all a matter of pleasure, and whatever the practice, if it becomes too uncomfortable, nothing prevents you from stopping and resuming a little later in other conditions. Take your time. The holidays offer the opportunity to rest, with the mind freed from the stress of work. This is the perfect time to reconnect, both emotionally and sexually.
