There’s something in the air and it’s not just allergens. The sexy spring has officially arrived.
So how can you have your best sex in the spring?
GET OUT
First, get some vitamin D. No, not that much… I’m talking about sunlight, to give you energy for other forms of “D”.
“You want to make sure you’re getting bright sunlight, preferably before noon.” Max Lugavere said as he climbed into the pod. According to Max, morning sunlight activates proteins in your eye that then activate an area of the brain associated with your body’s master clock. This prepares you for daylight-related activities like exercise and socializing…and sex. To get the most benefits, Lugavere recommends 10 to 30 minutes of morning sun exposure, with closed sunglasses. Hello.
GET WELL
If there’s one thing that kills sex drive fast, it’s allergies. Feeling hot when you sneeze, exhausted and rubbing your itchy eyes? Me neither. So don’t grit your teeth and endure these allergens, because there is literally no upside. Instead, look for an OTC allergy solution, talk to your doctor about a prescription, and proactively support your health with…orgasms.
You heard me. There are many documented health benefits associated with orgasm, increased immunity included. If you own a vulva, I recommend a quality sex toy to upgrade your solo sex and enjoy more orgasms regularly. IMO, you can’t go wrong with a user friendly bullet atmosphere like the three news from Je Joue: Lovethat has a heart perched on top, the Vitaa stick-tipped bullet and the Duet, a textured sphere covered in pleasure spots. Not only is it trmit’s adorableare some of the most powerful on the market – Je Joue’s known for their signature “rumble” vibration, which is both quieter and stimulates deeper, more internal nerve endings.
If you have a penis and want to have sex before the immune-stimulating orgasm, I recommend a good delay spray. like this one from Promescent. It relaxes the nerve cells just under the skin so you have more control over your orgasm and don’t finish until you’re really ready. Handshake emoji.
GET NOURISHED
The aforementioned – no, bountiful – products of spring aren’t just good for your health. It’s good for your sex drive, especially if you choose the right fruits and vegetables.
For example, watermelon is 92% water, but the remaining 8% contains citrulline: a phytonutrient that the body converts to arginine. Why is this important? Because this single amino acid boosts nitric oxide levels in the body, relaxing blood vessels that encourage sexual blood flow.
Now, will eating watermelon alone suddenly make you poop? No, but it is one of the many fruits and vegetables that support sexual function. So fill your plate and eat your way to spring sexiness.
social
As Covid taught us, we humans are a pack. Isolation = bad mood, but when the temperatures rise, it’s frisbee in the park, it’s picnic, it’s brunch. And as every scientific journal on the planet has confirmed, we are happiest when we are social.
So now that it’s warmer, make sure to plan outdoor dates, both platonic and romantic. Doing this will prevent anxiety and depression (as opposed to sexy moments) and help keep your mood upbeat. This will facilitate sexual arousal, especially if add some outdoor exercise to the mix.
BE ACTIVE
Exercise releases endorphins and strength training increases free testosterone levels. But did you know that testosterone levels actually peak in the summer and fall – not the spring? According to Michael Smolensky, a professor at the University of Texas, our ancestors chose to give birth in the fall, since mammals have a longer gestation period. That way, when they had babies in the spring, there would be plenty of food.
How does this relate to you? No matter what genitalia you have, testosterone is one of the hormones that motivates you to have sex…but when levels are lower (like spring), we need to catch up. And luckily, that testosterone is just a weight lifting session away. Commit to a spring workout and reap the benefits in bed.
