Why You Should Be Having More Sex This Summer

June 30, 2015 by Marianne Litman 6 Comments

In the immortal words of the famous wordsmiths Salt N’ Pepper, “Let’s talk about sex, baby.”

Sorry, I had to! Why? Because we are in the peak season for sex. Yup, much like strawberries, summer is the perfect time to get cozy with that special someone.

“Most people think [the peak sexual season] is Valentine’s Day,” says Toronto-based sexologist Dr. Stephen de Wit. But the problem with that? “There is this pressure on us to be romantic, that sex is going to happen, to have roses and chocolates around.”  And then the society instated romance fizzles out.

So what it is it about the summer that ramps up our sex drives?

First off, there is a lot more skin being showcased; there is the longer days and sunshine after the brutal winter; people take more vacation and generally have more time to relax. “It’s a more connected relationship with their partners in the summer because of all these factors,” explains Dr de Wit.

“When people are happier and feel better about themselves, they are going to want to have sex. Even with moms who are busy with kids there’s still going to be that element of things changing [in the summer]—the kids are outside, I’m feeling better, I’m more active, I’m generally happier. And then sex evolves from there.”

Perfect! So sunshine, more skin and longer days = the perfect time for sex!

But what if the summer still isn’t doing it for you and your partner?

Back to what my girls Salt N’ Pepper said, the whole talking about sex, as grown women with kids of our own, are we really comfortable having those conversations? I don’t mean, “Oh yeah, it’s great. The hubby and I do it at least once a week.” I mean really talking about the issues that arise from being both a mother and a sexually active Woman with a capital W.

Dr. de Wit says probably not. “We’ve been conditioned to believe that we should all be having great sex all the time and if we’re not we aren’t going to talk about it.”

The reality is that being a parent can introduce more concerns when it comes to your sexual behaviour.

When you become a mom, your body goes through a lot of changes. But Dr de Wit says it is important for moms to remember that it is okay for them to still be sexual beings even after these changes.

“Moms need to be able to reclaim who they are as sexual women and not see their body as serving a solely reproductive function… They need to re-learn how to love themselves and be comfortable with themselves.”

And it’s not just you’re issue as a mom. Dr de Wit works with many couples where these feelings are felt by the partner as well. “Sometimes, something can shift in your partners view. All of a sudden they see you as a mom as opposed to the hot babe they used to see.”

You’re a mom—this is an undeniable truth. You’re sexy and sexual—this is another undeniable truth. These two things can both be true; they are not contradictory.

If you are having issue with your partner—for this reason or any other—open up the lines of communication. “Have a conversation with your partner,” Dr de Wit urges. “Start talking about what’s going on in the relationship. Even if it is awkward and uncomfortable… communication is the most important aspect of sex, period.”

Your love life will experience ebbs and flows, this is normal. But if you are experiencing a particularly long ebb, (think more than a few months) and speaking with your partner hasn’t solved the issue, seek out a sexologist or sex therapist. They will be able to help you discuss your issues with and try to find a solution.

Only then should you move on to speaking with a doctor about the medicinal options available.

    My name is Hassan Khalifa, and for months I lived through one of the most distressing experiences of my life. I had invested $45,000 worth of Ethereum (ETH) into what I believed was a promising online trading platform run by supposed professional investors. At first, everything appeared legitimate, the website was sleek, the representatives spoke with confidence, and my account dashboard even showed daily profits. But everything changed the moment I tried to withdraw my funds.The platform suddenly began giving me excuses, requests for tax clearance,unlock fees, and endless verification steps. I realized too late that I had been dealing with scammers. My account access was blocked, and all attempts to reach their support went unanswered.  I was devastated, knowing I had lost nearly all my savings.That was when a trusted associate introduced me to Washington Recovery Pro, a reputable team known for helping victims of crypto-related fraud. Skeptical yet desperate, I reached out to them and explained my entire ordeal.Their response was immediate and professional they assured me that, with my transaction details, wallet addresses, and chat records, they could begin digital forensics to trace the stolen ETH.After a few weeks of intense recovery operations, I finally received my $45,000 worth of ETH back into my secure wallet. It was a moment of relief, gratitude, and disbelief all at once.Thanks to Washington Recovery Pro, I regained not just my stolen assets but also my confidence in the digital financial space. Their transparency, communication, and professionalism were second to none. I will forever remain grateful for their dedication in helping victims like me find justice and recovery in a space often plagued by deceit..visit their handle below

    A few months ago, I fell for what looked like a legitimate online trading platform. The website was sleek, the support team was responsive, and they even showed me fake profit charts that seemed to grow daily. I started small, and after a few test withdrawals worked, I invested more eventually depositing 2 Bitcoin in hopes of long-term returns. But one morning, when I tried to withdraw, everything changed. The platform suddenly locked my account, claiming there were additional fees to release my funds. The support chat stopped responding, and the website started giving error messages. That’s when I realized I’d been scammed. I was devastated. Two Bitcoins wasn’t pocket change, it was my savings. I filed reports online, but everyone told me it was impossible to recover crypto once it’s sent. Then, through a discussion forum, I came across Dexdert Net Recovery, a team specializing in tracing and recovering stolen digital assets. Skeptical but desperate, I reached out. Their response was immediate and professional. They asked for transaction IDs, wallet addresses, screenshots of my correspondence with the fake platform, and any proof of payment I had. Within days, their analysts traced the stolen Bitcoin through multiple wallets using blockchain forensics, They updated me step-by-step, Working with their recovery experts and blockchain partners, Dexdert Net Recovery successfully froze the funds and verified ownership of my wallet. After 2 days of persistence and verification, I finally saw my 2 Bitcoin restored back into my own wallet. I couldn’t believe it. What stood out most wasn’t just that they recovered my funds, but how transparent and supportive the Dexdert team was throughout the process. They educated me on crypto safety, how to spot fake trading sites, and how to secure my digital assets in the future. Dexdert Net Recovery truly lives up to its name. They gave me back not just my Bitcoin, but my peace of mind.

She has been cheating and falling out of love

    DO not let anyone tell you otherwise but this pro phone hacker for hire hackerspytech comes with different things pertaining to iPhone hacking. I was able to hire a hacker 3 weeks ago for phone hacks and my experience was splendid , Although not everyone there is cool enough but you have to spot red flags before hiring anyone. In fact, I have been scammed many times in my attempts to hire a professional hacker. Here is the problem, I suspect my husband is seeing other ladies. Most of the hackers I contacted collected my money and I never heard from them. I decided to try for one last time before I finally give up. Well, it paid off, the hacker cloned his phone. I finally got HACKERSPYTECH @ GMAIL COM to do the phone hack because he had 89% review on phone as well as Website hack and credit score repair. It took 6 hours for me to get the hack done. And the pros about this hacker’s service is that they are cost effective
