9 Reasons Sex is Hotter in the Summer

Summer is the sexiest of seasons, and to prove it, the sex gets hotter in the summer as well. It’s like Spring is the long tease before everyone just takes their clothes off and gets busy already. And indeed, the summer brings bare skin and a burst of activity – biking, swimming, vacationing, hell, even sun-bathing is a verb. If you need further proof that sex is just better in the summer, here are our top 9 reasons.

• Bare skin. Did we mention bare skin? Right, we did, but it’s worth mentioning again, because summer brings a festival of flesh barely covered in tank tops, skirts, swim suits, and flip flops. Even if the thought of wearing a bathing suit makes you cringe, you have to admit it’s pretty fun to take in the eye candy on the beach. An ordinary trip to the grocery store becomes a feast for the eyes - muscular shoulders in t-shirts, lean legs in skirts, and hard nipples in the freezer aisle. And all that bare skin gets you, and keeps you, thinking about sex all day.

• Everyone looks more fit. While we’re all out and scantily clad, we are also probably at our trimmest for the year. Many people are more active in the summer, so even if that doesn’t mean you’re sporting six pack abs, it does mean you’re likely to have more energy and a higher libido, which definitely helps your sex life.

• PDA is more acceptable. Whatever your position is on PDA, we collectively give people a little more slack in the summer when it comes to public affection. It’s like we all get that the less clothing means higher arousal, and we tolerate what everyone is getting up to in the park or on the beach.

• Sunscreen massages. We’re all about safety first, so a day in the sun should always begin with a sunscreen rubdown. And if getting rubbed in all those hard to reach places turns you on, there’s no need to rush into your swimsuit. Just make sure your sunscreen is waterproof.

• Freezable lube. Yes, there’s such a thing as freezable lube cubes, which got great reviews by Thursday’s Child, and yes, they’re perfect for summer sex.

• Fresh fruit. While fresh fruit is usually known for it’s taste and nutritional value, in this case, it also adds to the sexiness of summer by making sweet, juicy mouths for kissing.

• Vacation sex. Summer is the season for vacations, and vacations give us lots of time to enjoy relaxing, no-rush sex.

• Pool toys. Even though you’re spending more time outside, you don’t have to leave your favorite vibrator indoors. There are a number of sex toys that are water-safe, so you can still have all the fun you’re used to inside, poolside.

• Summer is fleeting. For those of us who live in seasonal climates, we know that summer is fleeting. And like an affair that you never want to end, but know it must, you savor the moment, and experience sensations more intensely, all because you know it is coming to an end.

Other seasons bring their own pleasures, but sex in the summer is certainly greatest. Don’t miss out on any of those 9 reasons to have great sex this season.
