I’m a sexpert – from the ‘ice-cream spoon’ to ‘stand & deliver’ these are the top positions to keep you cool in the heat
WITH temperatures soaring this week, Brits may find themselves getting a tad bit hot and bothered whilst trying to keep cool indoors.
It also means you may feel not up to getting heated in the sheets with your partner. But the hot weather shouldn’t affect your sex life.
In fact relationship and sex expert Kate Taylor believes it’s actually the best time to get active in the bedroom.
She says: “As the temperature shoots up this week, expect your libido to follow suit.
“Summer can heat up the action in your bedroom because sunlight floods your body with the (aptly named) Vitamin D and increases your levels of feel-good serotonin.”
Here, Kate reveals her top sex positions to keep you cool whilst getting heated in the sheets this week.
Get Down On It
Put a sheet down on the floor. Heat rises so if you stay low, you’ll stay cool.
Now both sit on the sheet facing each other, with her legs wrapped around his back.
In this position, you can kiss, stroke and touch each other as you move, but still break apart if the temperature gets too hot.
Try adjusting the sensations by leaning back, resting on your hands. This will tilt her pelvis and mean he reaches different areas inside, including the G spot.
Seated Reverse Cowgirl
He sits down on a chair or sofa. She sits on top of him, facing away.
Girl-on-top positions are perfect for hot nights as there is very little skin-to-skin contact. Air can still circulate around your bodies even as the atmosphere gets sultry.
From here, she is in charge.
She can adjust her position by going up on tiptoes or down on flat feet, plus she can lean forwards or backwards, depending on what feels best.
Ice-Cream Spoons
Spoons (where you both lie on your sides, with the man behind) is usually a winter position. It’s cuddly and snuggly, which is lovely on a cold night. But there are ways to keep it chill during the summer.
Before you start, massage body lotion or even lube onto each other’s skin. Use this as an erotic warm-up, touching and teasing every area of your bodies.
Then, when you’re both fully covered in lotion, set up a fan across from the bedroom and start Spooning.
Now the fan will cause the lotion on your bodies to evaporate as you move, giving you an ice-cold sensation over your (now super-sensitive) skin.
The lotion will also make the action slippery, which can feel incredibly sexy.
Edge of heaven
If you find missionary a bit boring, this position puts it on a cliffhanger.
She lies on the bed with her legs over the side. He stands or kneels in front of her, grabbing her hips and pulling her towards him.
From here she can wrap her legs up around his neck, hold them out to the sides, or put them up vertically.
This is perfect for heatwaves: there is next to no skin contact and plenty of room for air to circulate and cool you off.
But it’s a super-hot position in every other way. He can get super deep for top-tier stimulation, and she has the freedom to move her legs into whichever position feels best.
Top tips for heatwave humps
Relationship and sexpert Kate Taylor’s top tips for heatwave humps are:
- Be sure to keep hydrated, even as you’re working up a sweat.
- Dehydration can lower your sex drive and your ability to orgasm, because it throws your hormone levels out of whack.
- Shower first, ideally together. Don’t dry off. Let the moisture evaporate to cool you down.
- Put your sex toys in the freezer for an arctic thrill.
Stand and Deliver
Standing positions can get sticky, as your bodies are rammed up against each other.
But they can also be very quick, which is helpful when it’s hot.
Stand up, facing each other, with her leg wrapped round his waist. He can hold her leg to help support her.
I’d usually say this is a great position to do fully clothed, tearing each other’s clothes open as you go, to recreate those “can’t wait another second” vibes. But if it’s 30+ degrees, strip off.
Now move fast and furiously. Bite, lick and kiss each other, and slide around as you both get sweaty.
Use your hands to add extra stimulation to get you across the finishing line together.
Bonus points if you do this in front of an open fridge or door, to get the cool breeze on your skin.
