In summer, most people feel more like having sex. Unfortunately, you also sweat faster. So the act makes even beyond the 30-degree mark still really fun

Summer not only makes the temperatures, but also the desire sometimes boil up quite high: Clothes are scarce and people are generally more up for flirting. Fact is: In summer, the desire for sex is particularly high, if there weren’t one problem – even without exercise, you start to sweat.

The idea of snuggling up close to a hot body sounds tempting, but in reality it can also make you sweat. We show you how to enjoy summer sex in a relaxed way and keep a cool head.

Why do you feel more like having sex in the summer?

When it gets hot outside, the desire for sex also increases. The more intense sunlight ensures that the hormone serotonin is released more. This in turn “makes us more alert and vital overall,” explains Peter Walschburger of Freie Universität Berlin.

“Birds chirping and trees in bloom” have a psychological effect on people, the biopsychologist explains, “we associate them with something beautiful.” The so-called spring fever, which is at its peak in summer, also has health effects: “Vitamin metabolism is boosted, which in turn increases bone strength,” says Walschburger.

Another nice effect: the happiness hormones make us want to have sex more. But spring fever is not the only reason for the greater desire for lovemaking in summer. There is also a physical cause: the heat increases blood flow in the body – including in the sexual organs. The penis and vagina are therefore more sensitive and more quickly aroused.

Which positions are best for sex in summer?

One thing in advance: During sex you sweat in every position. But there are positions that are simply more pleasant in the heat than others. “Doggy, spooning and riding positions are perfect, because here the temperature and consequently the heart rate remain low,” advises Dr. Axel-Jürg Potempa, andrologist and sex doctor from Munich.

Also good: riding position backwards or sideways. Or she backwards on the edge of the bed and you kneeling in front of her. Avoid wild gymnastics and instead prefer to make love in slow movements.

Rather unsuitable on hot days are sex positions in which you hold each other close. The body contact and the strong friction create even more heat.

Sex while standing is also unfavorable, as it puts too much strain on the cardiovascular system – unless you’re standing under a cool shower. These are the hottest sex positions from the Kamasutra.

The 8 best tips for sex in the heat

You would like to make love in the hot summer temperatures right under the shower or in the ice tub? Basically not a bad idea, but too big temperature differences can also kill the fun of sex.

We have tested 8 alternative variants for making love on hot days – 8 hot ideas for sex in the heat.

1. perfect timing: choose the right time for hot summer sex.

It’s similar to sports: in summer, morning is the perfect time of day – not only because the air is much fresher, but because your testosterone levels are very high early in the morning and consequently you feel more like having sex than after a hard day at work.

By the way, this effect can also occur in women. And honestly, is there a better start to the day?

2. cool sheets: cold bedding for hot love

You’ve probably banished the thick woolen blanket from your bed long ago. “Satin cools the skin, but it’s a synthetic fiber and therefore doesn’t transfer sweat well,” Potempa explains.

With linen bedding it gymnastics for it substantially better: It has likewise a cooling effect, prevents however that under you gradually a sea from sweat spreads.

3. cool bedding: make love on the kitchen floor for a change

Yes, the bed is comfortable. But in extreme temperatures, sooner or later it is advisable to go to a cooler place. “Whether on the cool kitchen tile floor, in the shower under running lukewarm water, or in the basement: anywhere where heat can’t or barely reach, you can let off steam,” says the author (“What You Better Not Know About Sex,” Riva, at 15 euros).These foreplay techniques really get you hot.

The bathroom is the perfect place, there’s plenty of ways to cool off. You prefer shower or tub? Set the water only lukewarm – that refreshes better than ice cold, because the body would produce even more heat after the shock.

4. culinary cooling: spicy food cools down the body

Have you ever wondered why people in hot countries eat spicy food so often? Spicy foods that contain chili, for example, cool the body. The capsaicin contained in the pod promotes cooling sweat.

By the way, because chili stimulates blood circulation, it also increases excitability in the genitals.

5. outdoor sex: get out of the house!

Don’t feel like getting grilled in the hot pad? Then head outdoors. How about this, for example: You and your partner get each other a little hot at home and then go on a little bike ride. The good thing about it: “On the bike, you’re much more likely to discover lonely, secluded spots where you can make yourself comfortable at any time,” says Berlin author Mia Ming.

In the forest or by the lake, but definitely in the shade. It’s best to take a large bath sheet with you as a base. The car, on the other hand, should be saved as a location for winter sex, as the heat accumulates extremely there. Outdoor sex: the best locations for making love outdoors.

6. take a breather: include short breaks during summer sex

When the sweat runs not only from your forehead, but over your whole body, take a break. Fill it with gentle caresses – they are much more pleasant in the heat than constant touching and kneading. Or blow gently over your sweaty body – this cools and excites. Also good: drip water onto your loved one’s skin with a straw.

7. wet pleasure: Get into the water!

You don’t have to worry about a sweat bath if you make love in the cool shower. There are said to be people who also succeed in having sex on an air mattress or in the surf. As a rule, however, this is somewhat uncomfortable.

In addition, you should never make love in the blazing sun – it’s too stressful for your circulation. Rather look for a shady place or disappear briefly under the lukewarm shower. It’s raining? Perfect: love in the summer rain is magical!

8. support from the fridge: use the ice-cold kick!

Almost anything that is cold can provide refreshment during sex – and be very pleasurable. Experiment with fruits from the fridge, ice cubes and cold drinks that you can slide over each other’s skin. But don’t be too hasty: With ice-cold parts, the penis should be left out, because otherwise erectile dysfunction can quickly occur.

Cool kisses can also refresh: To do this, simply put an ice cube in your mouth and let the cube move from mouth to mouth while kissing. This not only cools, but also trains your tongue skills and also totally turns you on. Better Kissing: These kisses drive you crazy.

But this icy refreshment is actually more suitable for foreplay: “In the long run, ice cubes distract too much from the actual action,” says expert Mia Ming. After foreplay, a sip of cool water that you’ve deposited next to the bed will refresh you.

Conclusion: Slow sex is the order of the day in summer.

Although the desire is greater in the summer, you should still take it easy. Consciously choose positions in which you can make love without much effort. Take breaks in between and treat yourself to cooling refreshments every now and then. If the heat still goes to your head, it’s best to make love directly under the cool shower or secretly at the swimming lake.
