Too hot to have sex? Not with these tips

too hot for sex

If the Love Island lot can handle some action under the Mallorca sun, you can handle it in the British heat

The sun is OUT and the temperatures are up, which means all we want to do is sip sweet ciders, sunbathe in the garden and, of course, watch Love Island.

But hang on, isn't summer meant to be all about romance, flings and sex? Sometimes it just gets too darn hot to feel even just a little bit sexy, never mind perform the karma sutra.

We reckon if Eyal and Megan, Laura and Wes, and the rest of the Do Bits Society can enjoy a romp between the sheets in the Spanish summer climate, we can too.

So here are plenty of tips for you to get in the mood.

Hit the shower

Turn some summer beats up loud and take things to the bathroom. Set the shower at a comfortable temperature and low pressure - you'll get water EVERYWHERE, otherwise. The best (and safest) shower position is usually bending over and pressing your hands to the wall. Prepare for a wet and wild time!

The wheelbarrow

Try a sex position with minimal sweaty skin-to-skin contact, like the sitting wheelbarrow. He sits at the end of the bed with his legs open, while you sit on him facing outwards and walk your hands out on the floor. It's a lot simpler than it sounds, honest.

Ice ice, baby

Grab a bag of ice cubes from the supermarket, then bring a cup full of them up to the bedroom. You can rub them along each other's body and introduce them into the foreplay. They'll cool you down AND feel amazing. Afterwards, stick the rest in a well deserved gin and tonic.

Do things 'al fresco'

Sex outside is fun, adrenaline pumping and - most importantly - BREEZY. Of course, you need to choose a secluded location where you won't be seen, even if it's just the back garden. Just make sure you won't get into any trouble if caught out (although, that's part of the excitement).

Keep it chilled

You're in the mood but there's no AC, your bedroom window won't open and the fuse in your fan just bust. Why not take it to the kitchen? You can open the fridge door for an instant cool blast and get down on the cold stone floor. Just make sure the curtains are closed.
