As the temperature outside gets hotter, the temperature inside can get even hotter. Summer is the perfect time for rekindling passion and excitement, for shedding your inhibitions as well as your clothes. So get ready for some grand sensual adventures in the heat of the summer sun.

Come on Summer…

 Summer brings with it a sense of freedom as we shed the winter layers and we actually begin to feel more sensual. There is a theory that libidos definitely rise in summer. This may have to do with the sense of freedom the warm weather brings. As we shed the winter layers we begin to feel lighter, more sensual.

Being outdoors, in the sun, on the beach, at the pool, our blood flows to the surface of the skin. Touch becomes more sensitive, the breeze becomes a caress, the feel of the water on our skin tingles with excitement. The fragrance of flowers, the colours of summer all add to a heightened sensuality.

We can make the most of this by being aware of it, taking the time to look at the brightness of summer, relish in the sensations, the tastes, the smells…

Sensuality…

This awareness is one of the most important aspects of sensuality. Being in the moment, present and consciousness. It doesn’t take a great deal to do this.

Think about savouring the first sip of a delicious juice or cocktail at the end of a hot day, really tasting the first bite of a juicy fruit, looking into your lover’s eyes for a moment to connect with their heart. 

Imagination…

So how do you go from being a shrinking violet to a brazen red rose in full bloom? Well, you begin by using your mind, the biggest sex organ we have. First think about what you’d like to, feel the excitement in your body.

Then imagine it, step by step, revel in the tingles inside of you. Stand at the edge…and jump in.

Clothes…

Summer clothes offer wonderful opportunities for teasing your partner with secret glimpses and quick flashes. These can be very exciting when in public places, especially when they’re totally unexpected. Remember that men are visual, not that women aren’t, but you can leave him absolutely tongue tied with a flash of clothes revealing what’s to come later.

This can also bring out the daring exhibitionist in you, which will excite you as well as your partner. In all sex games it’s so important that both of you are turned on. When we see our partner becoming excited, we get even more excited and involved in the play.

Outdoors…

As the weather warms we head outdoors. The privacy of your garden immediately offers an opportunity to expand the places to make love. In our country there are so many beautiful places to explore, and to explore each other.

One of the most exciting things about public or semi-public places is the possibility of being seen, of being discovered. This definitely adds to the excitement. A quickie in nature will leave you breathless with heightened passion.

If you’re still a little shy, then use these places to tease your partner, a whisper, a touch, a flash…

The beach…

At some point in the summer most of us would love to be on the beach, a very interesting place if you spend some time looking for a private spot way down from the crowds. The sun, the sea, the heat on our skin makes us feel so sensual. However the biggest drawback to the beach is the beach itself, the sand. A few grains of sand in certain places can be very uncomfortable and irritating, to say nothing about getting them off afterwards.

A big towel is an absolute necessity and lot’s of lubricant helps. Sunburn of skin that hasn’t been exposed to the sun for a good few months is also a strong possibility, and we’re also talking about skin that may not have been in the sun ever before. It’s one thing to explain that you’ve got burned, but explaining it THERE is a whole different story.

Preparation…

Preparation for all outdoor adventures certainly helps. You don’t want to take the spontaneity away, but the comfier you are; the more you’ll enjoy the experience so a little practical advice goes a long way.

Water is a very sensual element for most people, but it also dries delicate tissues, particularly pool chemicals, so lubricant is so important.

We’re lucky to have such beautiful evenings for night time naughties. As well as offering a little more privacy and protection, there are also lots of creepy crawlies and flying friends. A mosquito whining in your ear at the crucial moment is a definite passion killer, so even though it doesn’t smell great, use the mozzie spray. Remember where you apply it so avoid a foul tasting mouthful.

Food…

Summer fruits and foods can be delicious in a way you never quite thought of before. The juice of a watermelon sliding down your chin onto your body just begs to be licked. You can use your whole body as a fruit platter, cut the fruit into bite size pieces, spread them all over, add a can of whipped cream and let the feast begin.

After an hour or so of  your partner browning themselves in the sun, a block of ice sliding over their skin and into the secret valleys of their body will leave them shivering, but not with cold. 

For men…

Take time, this is not about the goal, it’s about making her feel loved and special, and it’s about romantic sensuality.

For Women…

It’s time for adventure, to allow the goddess to come out and play.

Summer is about fun, about playing. It’s about making memories with your lover that’ll last a lifetime.
