Stretching For Sex: A Good Idea
Love making and racy nights are all about energy and stamina. A long day at the office or running around after kids will drain your energy, and your bed is going to be more appealing for sleep purposes than for sex. Try out a few of these sensual stretches to re-energise your body and invigorate your muscles so that you’re rearing to go by the time bedtime comes around. This is especially important if your sex life is on the back-burner running on midnight oil rather than being a daily activity.
Yoga stretches
It’s true. Simple yoga stretches that loosen up the muscles in your back, neck and arms will give you the energy you need to caress your partner and give them plenty of attention. Simply spend a few minutes each day stretching your arms, neck and shoulders (even while sitting in a chair) and you’ll immediately notice the difference when you’re resting on your elbows during a steamy session.
Push ups
The basic missionary style is the go-to sex position for many tired couples. If you think about it, you’re essentially doing some seriously sexy push-ups, and practising before-hand with a set of push-ups each morning will give you the core power you need to speed up or push harder when it matters most without draining you of your stamina.
Kegel exercises
Kegel exercises strengthen your pelvic muscles and help you to get you in the mood through some sensual stretching and exercise! Men and women both benefit from kegel exercises, and you can practice by starting off with simple squeezes – pretend that you’re stopping yourself from peeing – and you’ll feel your PC muscles contract. Squeeze your muscles and hold it for a few seconds before relaxing and repeating. You can do this in meetings, while watching TV, and even while catching up on work: it’s personal, completely private, and stimulates your pelvic muscles which enables men to delay ejaculation and women to heighten stimulations during sex.
