We have mentioned that July is the most romantic month, although August is not far behind. Is it that in general during the holiday season we relax and our romantic mood rises? Is it that after such a difficult and stressful year we want to give our attention somewhere else and leave the stress behind for a while? If you feel this way too, you are not alone.

And you are not alone because it makes sense that since you spend more time with your partner during the summer holidays, you are more in the mood for sex. And if you are single, summer is a perfect opportunity to make new acquaintances. But what about sex during the summer? How can you be sure it will be safe and minimize the chances of not enjoying it?

First things first

We will not dwell so much on how important it is not to forget to use a condom in every intercourse. Beyond the issue of an unwanted pregnancy, there are many sexually transmitted diseases that lurk.

However, where we will focus is on the correct use of the condom since many people think it is okay to use a condom in the sea. So learn that it is not 100% safe to place the condom in the sea since it is very likely that it will not be placed correctly and that it will fill with water afterwards. You understand that this is not completely safe. That’s why make sure to enjoy sex in the sea after your partner has placed the condom outside the sea first. Understood?

Finally, try not to leave condoms in the car while on vacation. They are quite vulnerable to heat and may suffer some wear and tear.

A lubricant will help you…

Many people think that having sex in the pool or in the sea is very easy considering that the water acts as a natural lubricant. Let’s just say that this is a wrong view. The truth is that water “washes away” the skin’s natural lubricants, creating greater friction which multiplies the risk of small abrasions on the skin. These abrasions can then easily allow bacteria and viruses to enter, which you don’t want.

Therefore, if sex in the sea is something you would like to do or even try, it is good to have some lubricant.

..And a sunscreen will save you

The sun may seem insignificant to you in front of the summer passion, but it is not. If you have sex during the day, and not at night, outdoors, don’t forget that parts of your body that have not been exposed before, such as your breasts, will be exposed to the sun. So, if you want to be considered proactive, don’t forget to pack a sunscreen in your summer vacation bag.

Sand is not your friend

Sand has many negatives and one of them is that it sometimes gets into places it shouldn’t. We completely understand the passion of the moment and how sometimes it’s a little difficult to think rationally and prioritize your health. But, you should probably do it if you don’t want to run to the gynecologist when you come back from your summer vacation.

So if you want to have sex on the beach, try not to lie completely naked on the sand. Gather everything you have with you, towel, yoga mat, pareo or sleeping bag and make sure you only rest there!

Beware of insects

Bites from various insects are a danger that exists in the summer anyway. Especially if you happen to have sex in an outdoor area. What you need to do is to always have a sting product with you so that it immediately soothes the area until you can seek some specialist help if needed. So maybe you can be quieter and enjoy the moment more!
