Why does sex help with stress?
Yes, sex is a huge stress reliever, and let's explain why! Working out and moving around can help calm your nerves and release feel-good hormones. These calming effects are only amplified when you factor in the sensations of touch from your partner and nothing releases those positive hormones like a pleasurable orgasm! A good one can truly make you forget all the stresses of life, if even just for a bit. So, time to let those stressors go with this key sex position that will only add to the best stress-reducing activity.
The Rock-A-Bye
Need a sex position that is intimate, intense, pleasurable, and relaxing all at the same time? Sounds to us like a perfect recipe to best beat your stress. Let’s get into it! To get into the rock-a-bye position, both partners should lie on their sides, facing each other. The penetrated partner lifts a leg and wraps that leg around their partner, as they enter from the front.
The best part of this position is the intimacy it creates from the closeness, but the alignment and way you are both lying will not allow for hard thrusts. Instead, grab ahold of your partner on their shoulders, back, or butt, and rock against your partner. Either one can take control of the rocking speed and depth. Take it easy, and let the combination of the deep penetration while lying down and being held close just ease the anxieties away. Feel your partner melt with each rock back and forth and be transported to naughty nirvana.
Extra stress-relieving points can be won by setting the mood right! Dim the lights, fire up a nicely scented candle and play some relaxing music. Really focus on the skin contact and deep breathingof your partner. Do these with this position, and you will get some of that extra bliss you need.
