If your soul is asking for variety, then you should think about changing your usual place for sexual pleasures to a more extreme one, or at least diversify the already established tradition of sex on Fridays. However, there are places where love games have no place. We will tell you where you should go for new sensations, and where you should not look for them.
Open space
Overrated - the beach
Have you ever tried dancing on the sand? It's quite tiring and not that easy. The same can be said about sex on the beach. An evening that started with a bottle of wine and a romantic mood can end very sadly. It's unlikely that sex on the beach in reality will resemble a scene from a movie. Lying on the bare sand is one thing, but moving rhythmically is quite another, especially since sand is always trying to get where it doesn't belong.
Underestimated - forest
Unlike the beaches, which evoke romance, the forest at first does not seem like such a suitable place for love. However, the blazing flames of the fire and the twilight falling on the forest will do their job, and the tent will hide you from the whole world.
When it's worth postponing sex, and when every minute counts
Overrated - Wedding Night
Despite the fact that this night is considered a celebration of love for newlyweds, in reality everything looks completely different. The bride, like the groom, is kissed by relatives for a month in advance, wedding contests are exhausting in earnest, and add alcohol - this mixture is not the best warm-up for sex. Usually, the newlyweds, finally left alone, at most chastely kiss each other and fall asleep like a baby. Do not worry, if you were hoping for passionate and crazy sex on your wedding night, save your strength for the honeymoon.
Underrated - Saturday Morning
When the kids are still asleep or busy watching cartoons, don't waste time, because you definitely have fifteen minutes at your disposal. You'll be surprised how an avalanche of passion can engulf you both when every second is precious.
Extreme or comfort
Underrated - Sex in the Kitchen
Sex in the kitchen can bring a lot of unforgettable sensations, especially if you choose the right position. Moreover, you don’t have to go far, but this is no longer a sofa or a bed.
Overrated - sex in the entryway
Of course, there is a share of extreme in this. However, according to the survey, 43% of respondents believe that sex in the stairwell is only good on the screen, but in life such experiments are not so good. Especially considering the sanitary condition of our entrances, where you can easily pick up some kind of infection.
[ 1 ]Aphrodisiacs
Overrated - sweets
Sex with whipped cream or chocolate is nothing new, but never try using honey for this, otherwise both partners will get a thrill that is far from enjoyable, more like a Brazilian wax.
Underrated - Spices
Well-seasoned dishes will help to stimulate sexual appetite, they warm up the blood very well. Spicy food affects mood, under its influence hormones of joy – endorphins are produced and sexual activity increases.
