Work getting a bit too much? The kids driving you crazy? When you’re stressed out, there’s a number of different ways to blow some steam – but have you considered that what you might need the most is an orgasm? We’re not talking your average missionary position either, there are some positions that will give you the release you’re looking for. There are certain positions and moves that can alleviate the tension and help you relax. Here’s some ideas to help you combat stress:

When Work Is Getting You Down

If you’re having a particular rough time at work, or generally feeling whipped out and under-appreciated, it’s time to exert some power in the bedroom. Sex therapist, Vanessa Marin, suggests some rough, intense sex that’ll leave you feeling dominant and in control. For men; doggy style is definitely the way to go. For women; cowboy or reverse cowboy will give you the ‘in charge’ feeling that you might be lacking. If you’re feeling particularly kinky, tie your partner up. Of course, make sure your partner is comfortable with this first….

When You’re Having A Fat Day

We all have them. The day you take a look in the mirror and hate what is looking back at you. Just remember two things; everyone has those days, and no one will judge your body as hard as you do. Marin says that she “can practically guarantee that your partner is not worrying about the size of your belly.” Nevertheless, if the worry or stress is there, it’s time to tackle it head on. Tell your partner how you’re feeling, and talk about positions, props, and accessories that you can use to help take the stress out of getting naked. For example, if your girl is worried about the size of her tummy; she could wear a sexy, floaty top to cover her upper-torso, or have her lie down and you get on top. Communication is key.

When There’s Not Enough Hours In The Day

Let’s face it, we have days where we can barely make time to sleep, let alone getting hot and heavy in the bedroom. This time of year is busy for everyone; it’s the wedding season, holidays need to be planned and booked, the kids have exams coming up, and so on. If many different areas of life are adding to the stress, it’s time to pick one part that calms you down – why not make that your sex life? “Try a complicated position that requires a lot of concentration so your focus doesn’t start turning to what’s stressing you out to begin with,” Marin says. Browse online with your partner and choose a new and advanced position to try. This will inject a little excitement into your sex life and keep your mind focused on the fun to come.

When There’s A Strain On Your Relationship

We all fall into the routine trap and it’s easy for couples to grow distant in terms of the physical side of the relationship. It’s time to reconnect and re-kindle that flame. Sure, it’s never going to be as new and exciting as when you first met, but a little thought and a lot of intimacy will help boost your sex life. Go back to basics – long foreplay sessions, oral sex, fumbling around on the sofa, and the good old fashion missionary position. These will allow you both to re-discover your bodies; touching, nibbling, stroking, and licking each other….what’s not to like about that?!

Remember, no matter how stressed you get – make time for the things that you enjoy. Not only will you feel great, it’ll also help keep your sex life fresh and exciting.
