Willingness is key and a few steps can make your entire experience sexier and more pleasurable, leading to more sex. Here are some things you can do to be ready for summer sex no matter the heat.

While electric bills are an issue in the summer, they’re key if you’re looking for some romance. Nobody wants to have sex in a stuffy and humid room. Good air circulation makes your room look nicer and offers plenty of refuge from the heat.

The summer months are popular for urinary tract infections, vaginal infections and other painful inconveniences caused by sweaty clothes, wet swimsuits, etc. Take extra care of your body during these months and bring a change of underwear with you on super hot days and beach days. Also, avoid sex on the beach, which is pretty hard on your body and provides the perfect opportunity for infection.
