Creative Ways To Perpetually Keep The After-Sex “Afterglow” Going

It's said that when you have sex, you experience an "afterglow."  This means that you feel better all around.  Your mind, your body — it's gotten a solid recharge.  Sex makes you feel good in general, but this gives you more of a reason to keep at it.  The thing is, though, sex can eventually feel too familiar.  This is why couples tend to spread their lovemaking sessions out.  However, if you want to maintain that feeling you get during those two days, you have options.  The secret is to get creative.  Keep reading to discover creative ways to perpetually keep the after-sex "afterglow" going.

Keeping things interesting. As fun as sex can be, it’s also very possible to start feeling repetitive — even stale — after a while. You’re sleeping with the same person, so it’s not always going to feel new, which is what makes sex feel so fun, usually. So, if want to keep that afterglow going strong, then you need to just get creative, and doing so is far from impossible.

More (way more) teasing. A lot of couples kind of forget to keep things interesting, and that’s OK. We’re not perfect — and we’re not professional adult film stars. Sex may be on our minds, but we’ve got other things going on as well. So, here’s a reminder: start teasing. Tease a lot. Keep your partner thinking about sex even when you’re not having it. You’ll be surprised how much good that’ll do you in the long run.

Experimenting with positions. There are nearly endless positions when it comes to having sex, so don’t make any excuses. Whether you’re fond of missionary or doggy, that doesn’t mean you can’t branch out and experiment with other positions. It’ll make sex feel even more fun that it already is, and it’ll give you something new to look forward to.

24-hour sex. So, no, the idea isn’t to literally have sex for an entire day, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to keep things spicy for 24 hours. You just need to get creative (and also be comfortable with having inappropriate materials on your phone, because that’s pretty much what this idea is based on.

Going strong all day. If you can sneak in a quickie before leaving for work, then you’re already off to a good start. Once you’re at work, though, don’t hold back on the texting and the teasing. Send some suggestive texts, send some dirty pictures… Do anything to keep things interesting until you get back home, where the idea is that you’ll have sex again.

Opening up. Sex will undoubtedly get stale if you’re not opening up about what you like — even if it’s what you secretly like. We’ve all got fantasies, and we’re sometimes afraid to open up about those fantasies because we’re not sure how people will react. Now, it’s time to open up without giving a sh*t how they react.

Lessons. The more you do together, the closer you’ll feel. So, if you want to keep that afterglow going, then you should consider either buying a book on creative lovemaking techniques or simply googling it. But you need to do it together. The act of learning about how to have great sex can be just as stimulating and sensual as the sex itself.

Taking over. It may seem like something you’ve never even thought about doing, but incorporating a blindfold can work magic. It seems simple enough, but when you’re pleasuring your partner and they don’t see what you’re doing, it’s deeply erotic on a level you can hardly even imagine.

Toys. Now that you’re grown up, it’s time your toys grow up as well. Either surprise your partner or take them to a store with you, but no matter what your approach is, make sure it ends with a healthy collection of sex toys (that’s right, not just one, but a collection), because that’ll not only send the message that you want excitement, it’ll get the job done as well.

Foreplay. A major sin among couples (especially long term couples) is foreplay negligence. You can blame it on a million things, but the fact of the matter is that some couples just rush right into penetration. Don’t make that mistake. Show your partner how much you want them and care about them. It’ll send the right kind of message, that’s for sure.

New territory. Do you usually have sex in your bedroom? Sure, that tends to be the go-to spot. However, that doesn’t mean that’s the only place you should be going. Branch out and try having sex in places that aren’t your bedroom. Doesn’t have to be anywhere crazy, though — simply working your way out to the living room or kitchen should do the trick.

Massages. This particular form of teasing is incredibly erotic. Treat the massage like any other massage, but know that when you say it’s going to be a full body massage, that’s no lie. This is going to incorporate the entire body. The fact that you get to not only relax, but end on an orgasm just proves how amazing it really will be.

Roleplaying. Even if you don’t think you’re the kind of person who can pull this off without laughing, push those anxieties and thoughts aside and do it anyway. You need to keep sex feeling exciting and new, so for that to happen, you need to incorporate types of sex that feel like untouched ground.

Talking dirty. The sensual art of dirty talk is often neglected by couples. They tend to put all their focus on their body and on their thoughts, that they fail to realize that oral sex can be a lot more literal than it is. Talk. Put into words what you really want and get both you and your partner off by crafting an imaginary setting simply with what you’re saying.

Constant satisfaction. If you can manage to keep sex interesting every two days, then you’re bound to feel at your absolute best pretty much around the clock. This is something that most people miss out on because they don’t really understand the physical and mental benefits of that two day afterglow.
