There are all sorts of reasons you might want to try for better sex. It could be that you’re interested in trying a new position that requires some extra skill, or you might feel like sex is lacking recently and you’re looking for a new way to spice things up. Either way, exercise could give you that perfect added kick. Whether you’re perfectly happy with the sex you’re having right now or you’re actively looking for a way to make things a little better, here are a few of the exercises you might want to try for better sex.
Kegels
These are one of the most tried-and-true beneficial exercises out there if you’re looking to help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Try this widely-suggested method for determining how to perform Kegels: next time you’re going to the bathroom, stop urination midstream. Those are the muscles you should tighten to perform Kegels. Try at least three sets of 10 Kegels every day. Inserting Kegel pleasure balls can make these exercises more effective and more pleasurable.
- Hip Swivels
For this one, place your feet about shoulder-width apart. Swivel your hips in a wide circle, trying to focus exclusively on hip movement, rather than shoulder and knee movement. If you want to go even further with these, do them to music. Hip swivels can tighten your core, which is very useful if you want to hold a certain position for a long period of time.
- Squats
There are three common types of squats, and all of them do something a little different for your body.
- Deep Squats
For these, you’re going to want to squat as low as you possibly can. That means placing your feet a little further than shoulder-width apart, then bringing yourself almost all the way down to the ground and pushing yourself back up. This can open your hips, strengthen your thighs, and tighten your core, and it can even promote better balance.
These deep squats are great for positions where you’ll be on top, like cowgirl or even missionary positions where you’ll take the top role.
- Wide-Set Squats
Put your feet about twice as wide as your shoulders, pointing your toes outward. Then, with your hands on your hips, squat low, until your thighs are parallel to the floor, and come back up. This one is pretty simple, but it’s also extremely beneficial, as it can seriously improve your thigh strength.
This thigh strength can be extremely beneficial if you like trying out more nontraditional positions. If you love contorting your body into all sorts of strange shapes during sex, the thigh strength you receive from these squats can really help.
- Jump Squats
For this option, stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, hands clasped together or out in front of you. Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor. In one smooth motion, jump up, pushing your arms down to your sides, and then bring your arms back up as you land. You should land into another squat
Jump squats help tone your core and hamstrings, which can be great for sex positions that utilize a sex swing. They’re also great for toning your butt, making you look your absolute best.
Superman Poses
This exercise is a great option if you’re looking for more ways to take control when you’re on your belly during sex. It’s also super easy: it starts with laying down and extending your arms over your head. Lift your arms, legs, and head off the ground, hold it for a few seconds, then relax. Do this in a few repetitions. It helps strengthen a number of muscles, including your neck, shoulders, thighs, and core.
- Pelvic Thrusts
Have you ever wished you could take a more active approach when you’re on the bottom during sex, especially in missionary position? Pelvic thrusts are a good way to gear up for that. Lay on your back, with your palms at your sides and your feet on the ground. Thrust your pelvis up, trying to create a straight line between your shoulders and your knees.
- Up-And-Down Plank
There are two ways most people will do planking: on elbows and knees, or on hands and feet. This combines both of them. Start on your elbows and knees, trying to make your back stay straight. Then, bring your body up to your hands and feet, trying to maintain the straight line on your back. Repeat the cycle a few times. This maximizes your upper body strength, which can be great for doggy style or positions where you’re on top of your partner.
Conclusion
Exercise is a great way to maximize how much you enjoy sex. Remember that if you’re trying to make sex even better, you should make sure you’re upgrading on all sides. That can mean finding a high-quality sex toy from HUSTLER® Hollywood that you really love, or stocking up on lubricant for the next time you want to try something new. When you’re willing to put some effort into it, you’ll probably find that you love sex more than you thought possible.
