You know that reccurring sex dream you have about getting it on under the stars with your partner (or, you know, Ryan Gosling)? Well we think you should totally make that a reality-the outdoors part that is. And we’re not the only ones. Expanding your sexual experiences by having sex outside the bedroom can bring you closer to your partner, teach you about what turns you on, and help you feel sexually empowered, says sex and relationship expert Emily Morse, Ph.D., co-founder of Emily & Tony.
Changing locations removes you from things in your home that stress you out and gets your adrenaline pumping, which helps you get even more aroused than usual, says Morse. And get this: Sharing feelings of excitement can help couples get connected during the experience and after. “If you have these cool experiences together, you can pull from those memories when you’re having sex at home and channel that excitement,” she says.
If you’re looking for something a little wilder, Morse also says that sex on a private hotel balcony is super hot-you know, if it’s actually private
One thing to keep in mind: Getting it on in a new location is more about having a new thrilling experience than trying to achieve a mind-blowing orgasm, says Morse. The fact is, some women could struggle to reach the big O because they might not be focused or they are limited in the kinds of positions they can do. But don’t let that stop you. It’s definitely possible to have great sex without an orgasm, and the experience will be totally worth it. Here, 11 places you should put on your sex FreeHookupSearch bucket list.
Your Backyard Morse says getting busy in your backyard is a great way to get all the benefits of having sex outdoors and away from home-without having to worry that you’ll get caught. Plus, you can always pitch a tent so your guy can, um, pitch a tent in private.
On the Couch Maybe you’ve covered this base already, but did you know that the living room staple could actually help you orgasm? Morse says that stacking up the cushions under your lower back makes it more likely that you’ll reach an orgasm. Or you could lean over the side for an awesome twist on the usual doggy style.
At a Friend’s PlaceOne WH reader told us that the hottest place she’s had sex was at her friend’s apartment
At a Hotel “Hotel sexis amazing because there isn’t any clean up. You can just check in and it can be all about sex,” says Morse. She suggests getting out of your comfort zone by doing some role-playing (you’re now officially two hot strangers on vacation). “No one knows you, it’s dark, you can look over the city, and you’re still close to your room.”
On the Stairs Who knew you had thisideal sex spot in your home all along? May we recommend the standing doggie style? Bend over a few steps up from him so your parts are aligned and he can enter you without having to crouch. You can also have him recline on a step while you straddle him with your back to his chest. Use the step below for leverage so you can stay steady while thrusting. You can also have him reach around for a little extra stimulation. The two of you will never look at stairs the same way again.
Why? Because the walls were super thin and she and her boyfriend had to be “nearly silent.” She said that being really, really quiet “made everything feel so much more urgent and hot.” We couldn’t agree more.
