It might sound strange, yet there are times when we are tired, but feel like having sex; the idea is not to be more fatigued, but to get ready to do ‘homework’ the next day.
Psychologist, Cindy M. Meston, director of the Sexual Psychophysiology Laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin, USA, explains, “During orgasm, the prolactin hormone is released, which is the hormone that helps you sleep better; and moderate sex is a great way to sleep better, rather than acrobatic sex that tends to give you more energy”.
That’s why today I’ll tell you about some low-impact positions that will allow you to experiment and enjoy your partner with minimal effort. Always remember variety is the spice of life:
The spooning: Just as some couples sleep spooning, this is the same position, but awake. The man is embracing the woman on the back, that way they will enjoy, swinging slowly, gradually, so they will increase the rhythm until both are satisfied.
Seated oral: One of the two can sit on a chair, or on the bed lying down, while the other person performs oral sex. It’s not a 69, it’s more like a 68 and you can both satisfy each other.
The couch hug: It could be that you are on the couch watching TV and you no longer like what you’re watching on the screen. Then, the conversation gets hot and you go from sitting to lying on one of the arms or the back of the couch. It’s a simple twist but it will give you another perspective, just elevate the hips of the person who is going to receive the stimulation, either orally or anally or whatever you can think of.
Mutual masturbation: Exploration and self-knowledge is the basis of pleasure, and practicing it as a couple is very stimulating. Pleasure is not always related to penetration, touching is also another way to relate sexually. Masturbation should not always be solo, because in company it allows all your senses to be stimulated simultaneously.
The cross: This position is ideal when both are tired after a hectic day but still want to be together. In this position, one can lie on the side and the other on the front. Although movement is limited, with only the touching, the position of the bodies and having the hands free to stimulate and touch other parts of the body allows the experience to be very erotic.
The hammock: Some have experienced sex in a hammock, but this time it is about simulating that hammock. In this position, the woman is on top of the man and he sits with his legs stretched forward. The idea is that he takes you by the waist to move you away and closer, like rocking.
The trapeze artist: The key is to be concentrated and uninhibited. The man is lying down and the woman is on top of him, with her feet propped up. Here he is the one who has the reins of the situation, he has the power and also has his hands free to touch you with total freedom.
It is no secret that sex has many health benefits such as: improving the immune system, lowering blood pressure, burning calories, improving heart health, strengthening muscles and even reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
It is rarely mentioned that sex is also a way to combat stress and expend energy to fall asleep better. Most people who suffer from insomnia resort to medications, which generally create dependency and have side effects on their health.
Some also resort to breathing and meditation techniques, and many home remedies that work for a while, but then do not have the expected effectiveness.
Low impact sexual positions not only help you to have a better connection with your partner before going to sleep, they also contribute to the improvement of one’s mental health by being directly related to it; your mind rests from thinking and you can relax a little bit so then you can have an uninterrupted sleep. In other words, you get double pleasure: sex and sleep.
