Winter can be a major bummer. Between the minimal daylight hours and the cold and often-gray weather, it’s hard to get motivated to leave the house. Hard to go out with friends. Hard to get to the gym. Life gets boring! It’s no wonder so many of us wait for spring with bated breath to start living our lives again, and sometimes it feels like our sex lives need to thaw out too.
But winter doesn’t have to be all bad news. You could, for example, use winter as a springboard to reinvigorate your intimate life and have some seriously good sex. I know, I know, it sounds a little silly — like, no, I want to hibernate and carb-load, thanks. But think about it! Sex gets your heart rate up, it keeps you warm, and can easily be done once the sun has gone down — and it can provide some much-needed endorphins and intimacy when the inevitable winter blues strike.
To get started, we put together some fun and exciting (but reasonable and attainable for people who aren’t double-jointed) sex positions to get you out of your winter rut. These positions are juuust enticing enough to keep things interesting without feeling like you have to become a contortionist. They should feel good — really good — but even if they don’t lead you to new heights of orgasm (which isn’t the point of sex anyway!), you might get a few good laughs and intimate moments from just trying. Keep reading to test them out, and maybe you’ll actually start looking forward to those long winter nights.
