The sensual secrets of sex on vacation
We all know there are many different kinds of sex. There's loving "lovemaking," semi-mad "angry sex," in-between "make-up sex," and sometimes there's just rough, straight sex... well, look, we can sell sex toys, but we try to keep it classy, so I won't say the word, but you know what I'm saying.
But above all, there is one type of sex that tends to be the most pleasurable, the most desired, and the most dreamed about: sex on vacation.
But why is this most sought-after intimacy so sought after?
Less stress... more sex
One of the most obvious answers is that when you're on vacation, you leave your worries, stress, and inhibitions behind. After all, stress isn't just an energy killer—it's a libido killer! But when you're on vacation, there are no more deadlines, soccer practices, or cooking dinner for five: there's just sunglasses, sleeping in, and smooth sailing. That relaxation makes naughty things feel much more attainable.
The lack of work and life stress also makes you feel better! More energy, more excitement, even fewer aches and pains. All those positive feelings give you a different perspective and encourage more fun and exploration. After all, vacation is often about experiencing new things. And I don't just mean trying the local cuisine: it can also broaden our sexual appetite.
There's also a much sillier (albeit practical) reason why vacation sex can be so different and exciting: you're not in your own space. You don't have to wash those sheets. Those people next door? You'll never see them again. You didn't buy that industrial-strength TV stand, vanity, and mini-fridge combo that now supports your entire body weight. That lack of responsibility for your surroundings helps keep things on the wild side and liven up even the most mundane hotel.
Taking it home
Okay, so vacation sex is great... but you can't be on vacation all the time. So how can we bring a little of that flavor home with us?
Well, we've already talked about why vacation sex is so fun and different, now we just have to take those same ideas and figure out how to bring them home!
If the stress of daily life is also putting a strain on your sex life, it's time to relieve stress! Find activities that help you relax, like yoga, jogging, or playing music. Even things like puzzles and coloring books can help you decompress! Eliminating those stressors can have a similar (sexy) impact at home as it does on vacation.
But it's not all stress; there's also that novelty factor to vacation. So, let's think about how you can bring that similar feeling of novelty home.
Let's start with an easy one: positions. We all have our favorites, but there's always room for experimentation. Grab a book, watch something kinky for inspiration, or even read a blog! Even if a new position is a little awkward or doesn't quite work, sex is all about having fun! Having you and your partner laugh while trying to perfect a strange position helps both of you relax (figuratively and sometimes literally) and makes your time together even more intimate.
It can also be helpful to find new places around the house to do the deeds. A countertop, kitchen table, or couch may seem like worn-out sex spots, but furniture and accessories can provide interesting positioning opportunities that simply can't be achieved with a bed. Support and elevation can allow for different penetration angles and more comfortable oral pleasures (after all, no one likes carpet-burned knees!).
Other areas of the home, such as coat closets and stairwells, may not seem like the sexiest places, but sexual creativity can be its own reward.
You know what else is rewarding? Thinking outside the box. After all, just because you're bringing holiday feelings home doesn't mean you have to stay home. Sneaking out into the backyard under the cover of darkness can be a fun and naughty way to keep things fresh. The (relative) danger of being caught and knowing you're doing something you're not supposed to can heighten the excitement!
Add something extra
Toys like the flexible Twilight Mood and the fan-favorite aerial toy, the Adventurer Curve , are even designed to be used during sex! Toys like these can be placed against the clitoris and simultaneously inserted into the vagina. Once in place, the penetrating partner can slide in and the toy will not only stimulate everyone’s favorite pleasure spot, but also allow both partners to experience vibrations while providing a tighter entry for him and a fuller sensation for her. It’s a novel way to take sex to the next level without having to hop on a plane or book a hotel room.
Looking for an endless summer
In the end, there's nothing like vacation sex, but if we were on vacation all the time, it wouldn't be as special. However, it's a worthy goal to try to bring some of that magic home, so do your best to relax and de-stress while you're at home and keep your sex life active. But keep an eye on that sunset and dream about your next vacation destination.
It could be the best one yet.
