Friday Five: Erotic Air Waves & Erogenous Zones

This month we are exploring sexual wellness inspired by the elements—fire, water, earth and air.

Keep reading for 5 ways the element of air can breathe life into your sexual experiences.

  1. Airy Cravings

Eating light during these warmer days helps to keep your system energized. Fruits and nuts like strawberries, oranges and almonds contain vitamins C & E which are known to boost libido and support healthy fertility.

2. Erotic airwaves

Sonic pleasure is intrinsic to our arousal. In her TED Talk, Gina Gutierrez, the founder of audio erotica app Dipsea, shared that listening to less obviously erotic noises can expand a person’s imagination and their sexual horizons.

While heavy breathing and moans are stereotypical sounds that might turn you on, try tuning into ocean waves, binaural beats or even classical music to get you relaxed and in the mood.

3. Tantric Breathwork

Use your internal air—your breath—to develop your awareness of your body and expand your ability to enjoy deeper pleasure.

Try this Tantric Breathwork exercise to stimulate your breath for solo or partner play.

4. Easy Breezy

Try letting your *nether regions* breathe by going commando whenever you’re in comfortable clothing.

“Wearing tight underwear can lead to vaginitis,”

Brittney Robles, MD, OB/GYN Physician.

Wearing tight underwear is one of the most common causes of outpatient gynecological visits. Ditching your undies can also help to prevent fungal infections and reduce skin irritation.

5. Erogenous Zones

The high number of nerve endings in the ear makes it one of the most sensitive erogenous zones of the body. According to Medical News, the ear’s function in spatial awareness can make ear stimulation even more powerful during sex.

Sexy tip: try blowing air lightly in your partner(s) ear while stimulating other parts of their body to increase the intensity of pleasure.
