Friday Five: Salacious Summer Guide

Keep reading for 5 ways to inspire a seductive summer.

  1. Steamy shower

Let the water waves bring pleasure into your daily routine.

Sarah Riccio, sex educator, shares "Unlike masturbating in bed, solo shower play demands full nudity, which can enhance arousal, boost confidence, and encourage a deeper connection with your body."

Switch on a removable shower head if you have one and let the stream arouse your entire body.

“Sudden change in water temperature will activate your parasympathetic nervous system, which can trigger a big boost in energy and send a yummy current of blood flow to your genitals," —Riccio says

2. Poolside Erotica

7 days in June is a juicy read about an erotica author & single mother who runs into a lover from her adolescence and finds out the chemistry is still just as strong. Their complicated relationship unfolds in this funny, sexy summer story. Let it inspire your own erotica writing.

3. Playful Plug

Consider investing in a genderless sex toy that you and your partner(s) can explore with. Anal plugs can be pleasing for any body and used during sex or as an arousing toy during foreplay.

4. Gentle skin

Not only does aloe vera gel soothe dry and irritated skin, it’s a great moisturizer for sex. You can find aloe vera at most plant nurseries and have a skin-saving gel for life! If you’ve never used aloe, apply a tiny bit to a small part of the body beforehand to make sure you're not allergic.

5. Alt Movie night

Filmmaker Tao Ruspoli explores the nature of relationships in Monogamish, interviewing psychologists, philosophers, sex workers and real-life couples. The term was coined by sex columnist Dan Savage and refers to mostly monogamous couples that allow agreed-upon outside sexual relations.

 

“Every new relationship is kind of an adventure, and then the adventure goes away. Then it’s just kind of where you live,” says Savage. “On the one hand, we want security and stability. We also want mystery and awe and that which fuels desire.”

 

Watching the film with your partner could be a smooth segway to introducing a new adventure that you might be curious about.
