Did you think COVID-19 lockdown meant no sex? Well, well, well; let me tell you a secret – it can actually mean the opposite. Sex, and some more.
If your busy lifestyle was sapping the horny out of you, the quarantine is your chance to put it back in and that too with full force. Doesn’t matter if you are isolating yourself with your partner or away from them, there’s no reason not to use the luxury of staying at home to satisfy your desires.
Of the many things you can do to feel that amazing sensation we like to call orgasm – a sweet current flowing through the body, here are some you can enjoy during the lockdown.
Do It Yourself…literally
There’s probably no one who knows your body better than yourself; the right spot to stimulate your clitoris, the position you are most comfortable in and the ambiance which excites you the most. Why not use this knowledge to satisfy yourself when your partner cannot due to the social distancing rules. It will only help you learn more about your desires and come out happier from this pandemic.
You can also use this opportunity to share with your partner what you want in bed. Masturbating in front of your partner can be a stimulating experience for both of you as you guide your better half about how to pleasure you.
‘Phone’ sex
If physical action with your significant other is not an option, try messaging your partner what you want them to do to you the next time you meet. For women, sex is more about emotional connection than physical touch and sexting can be a satisfying experience if you both let go of your inhibitions and get down to business with full commitment.
You can also raise the stakes by making audio and video calls. Your desire for your partner coupled with the fact that you cannot have them will drive you both wild, in a very sexy, fulfilling way.
But please keep in mind the matters of privacy and trust, and only do this if you are 100% sure about your relationship and the technology you are using.
Dry humping
Human body is a fascinating machine and dry humping proves that point better than anything else. Imagine having an orgasm without even taking your clothes off! Mind blowing, isn’t it? If you want to have sex with your partner without exchanging bodily fluids, try rubbing your genitals against your partner’s while fully dressed. Being so close, yet so far will send shivers down your spine and you will be aroused in no time.
To make this experience more pleasurable, opt for comfortable and light clothing. And to stay safe, wash your exposed body parts thoroughly before and after sex.
