Foreplay and intercourse get all the glory, but it’s time to bow down to ‘beforeplay’, otherwise known as all the sexy stuff you do (or should do!) to get yourself in the mood before you even see your partner.
Indulging in a little eroticism throughout your day—from the moment you wake up till you’re about to meet with bae—triggers excitement and arousal in your brain and lady bits (in part because of the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine). Once you two are finally hooking up, these turned-on vibes can blossom into way more intense pleasure for you. “You’re going into sex aroused, lubricated, and feeling warm and tingly down there, so it’s easier to achieve orgasm,” explains US-based professor Leah Millheiser, MD, director of the female sexual medicine program at Stanford University. So the next time you plan to see your lovah, pre-game sex in these creative ways.
IN THE AM
1. Work out with a specific purpose in mind: next-level bedroom flexibility. Stretch or take a yoga class to get your leg muscles ready for hopping on top in cowgirl or bending your knees toward your shoulders in missionary. End with three sets of eight crunches, squeezing your pelvic muscles each time you pull yourself up. This will tone the muscles in your pelvic floor that contract when you climax.
2. Skip the rough shower pouf in your rinse routine and lather up with your hands instead. As you slowly move them all over your body, appreciate the tactile sensations of caressing your every curve (or close those eyes and imagine it’s Ryan Gosling scrubbing you down like a pro, tee hee).
