According to the International Brazilian Journal of Urology, if men want to stay fertile then they want to keep trips to the hot tub to a minimum. Research suggests that men may recover if they stay away from long hot soaks in the hot tub, Jacuzzi, or hot bath.

Dr. Paul J. Turek and his colleagues identified 11 infertile men, average age 36, who habitually used a hot tub, heated Jacuzzi or hot bath for at least 30 minutes per week. Five of the six men who did not see an increase in sperm count or quality were chronic cigarette smokers with a significant smoking history, whereas three of the men who had a good response were only occasional smokers.

“The message for men trying to conceive,” Turek concluded, “is to take great care of yourself and treat your body like a temple, as sperm production in particular is very sensitive to overall male health. It makes sense, given that a normal healthy man makes 1,200 sperm per heartbeat. This is a fast running engine that needs a healthy body to keep up that pace.”

There are 100’s of Top 10’s out there, but they’ve all forgotten one of the most important areas of our lives - Sex. Here are Top 10 Sex Tips for the Summer. Add these to your list and you’re guaranteed to have more and better sex by the end of the summer!

1. Lose the Idealism
   To truly enjoy sex, there is one thing that you absolutely must do, stop worrying about what other people think. Get rid of all of those self-imposed limiting beliefs that are keeping your sex life utterly boring.
2. Try New Things
   Vow to try new sex positions, new sex toys, and new sex acts this summer. Variety is the spice of life and adventure broadens your horizons. Don’t be timid, keep an open mind and try something new in bed, whether it’s anal sex, a threesome, or living out your wildest fantasies. It could even be as simple as just admitting that it’s OK to like sex.
3. Embrace Erotica
   Read more erotic books and watch more erotic movies (ideally with your partner, but if you’re flying solo - enjoy!). Commit to reading at least one erotic novel each month. Find an author and a theme that you like and start reading. I challenge you to get through one whole book without getting excited.
4. Have More Sex. Lose Weight. Feel Great.
   Sex is great exercise and it is WAY more fun than going to the gym. Sex improves circulation and aerobic fitness by increasing heart rate and respiration, and exercises many major muscle groups. Did you know that you can burn between 100 to 300 calories per hour during sex?
5. Talk About Sex
   Have a conversation with your partner or friends about sex. Again, lose the idealism. If you have a partner, how else are you going to know what turns them on? How will they know what turns you on? Not talking about sex is a certain recipe for disaster, or at least a really boring sex life.
6. Masturbate
   This is something that just about everyone does and almost no one talks about. It’s one of the best ways to relax, ease your tension, and get in touch with your body. Take a time-out from your hectic schedule and spend some quality time with yourself. If you can’t enjoy and love your own body, how can you expect anyone else to please you?
7. Live Your Fantasies
   Make a commitment to live your fantasies this year. What do you think about when no one else is around or when you’re masturbating? Write it down and share it with your partner. Who knows, they may just want to help you play out your favorite fantasy and you’ll both be in for some exciting surprises. Just talking about your fantasies with your partner can often lead to hot sex on the spot.
8. Organize Your Sex Toys
   Quit tossing that vibrator under the bed with the dust bunnies. Keep your ropes, leather straps, dildos, vibrators, and other sex toys clean, organized, and carefully stored in a drawer or box. They’ll last longer and you’ll always know where to find them when you need them. Sex toys may not be your thing, but don’t make that decision until you’ve at least tried several variations.
9. Dress to Impress
   Do you really expect your partner to see you wearing your baggy shorts with the hole in the backside and those glasses at the end of your nose as you read the paper, and still find you sexy? Do you feel sexy when you dress that way - NO. Save those “extra comfy” clothes for those times when you’re alone - wear something nice when you’re together, or at least get dressed.
10. Put Your Partner First
    Guys, be more considerate - let your partner orgasm first. She puts up with a lot, so try putting her first once in a while and give her a screaming orgasm (or two or three) before you even think about it. Ladies, surprise your man with impromptu quickie sex - they love it!

Pelvic Floor Exercises or Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic muscles. Kegal exercises can also increase sexual pleasure for females and their partners. A newly postpartum woman can retrain her pelvic floor muscles to their pre-pregnancy strength and tone. Kegel exercises are also one of the treatments for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Kegel excercises aren’t just for women, men can also do them to achieve orgasm without ejaculation and perhaps reach multiple climaxes during sexual activity.

How do I do the exercise?

• Identify the muscles

First you need to find your pelvic floor muscles. Try to tighten your muscles around your vagina and back passage and lift up, as if you’re stopping yourself from passing water and wind at the same time. A quick way of finding the right muscles is by trying to stop the flow of urine when you’re on the toilet. Don’t do this regularly because you may start retaining urine. Once you’ve found the muscles, make sure you relax and empty your bladder completely.  You can add resistance to the exercise through gripping a hard object such as a Kegel exerciser.

• Contract the muscles correctly

The movement is an upward and inward contraction, not a bearing-down effort. When you first start the exercises, check that you are doing them correctly. Put your hands on your abdomen and buttocks to make sure you can’t feel your belly, thighs, or buttocks moving. Don’t hold your breath. You should be able to hold a conversation at the same time or try counting aloud while you’re doing the exercises. Don’t tighten the tummy, thigh, or buttock muscles because you’ll be exercising the wrong muscle groups.
 
You need to train your pelvic floor muscles through repetition, in the same way as you would train a muscle.

• Slow contractions

Slow contractions help to increase the strength of your pelvic floor. They help your muscles to hold back the urine. Lift your pelvic floor muscles to a count of ten. Hold the muscles tight for 10 seconds. You may find at first that you can only hold the contraction for one or two seconds, so concentrate on lifting your muscles and holding the contraction for as long as you can. Gradually increase the time until you reach 10 seconds. Relax your muscles and rest for 10 seconds. Repeat the contractions up to 10 times.

• Fast contractions

Fast contractions help your pelvic floor to cope with pressure, for example when you sneeze, cough or laugh. This works the muscles that quickly shut off the flow of urine. Lift your pelvic floor muscles quickly. Hold the contraction for one second. Relax the muscles and rest for one second. Repeat the contractions 10 times.

How do I know they are working?

You can test your muscle strength with the stop-start test. When you urinate, partially empty your bladder and then try to stop the flow of urine. If you can’t stop it completely, slowing it is a good start. Try the test every two weeks or so to see if your muscles are getting stronger. Don’t do the test more often than this.

The pros of pelvic floor exercises

They’re simple, cheap and effective. You can do them when sitting, standing or lying down.

The downside of pelvic floor exercises

You have to keep doing them for the rest of your life. It can take up to 15 weeks before you see any difference. If you haven’t noticed a difference after three months, see your doctor.

Every woman wants to know techniques for giving oral sex to her male partner and here it is.

You should start with a little teasing. Tease the head of the penis with your tongue. The head is the most sensitive part of the penis. Pay particular attention to the tip of the penis. This is the equivalent to the female clitoris; it is a super-sensitive bundle of nerves.

Basic Technique:

Slide your hand up and down the penis, closing it slightly when you reach the top and opening it slightly as you move back down. While doing this keep his penis moving in and out of your mouth (lips covering teeth) which should be applying a firm but comfortable pressure.

Next lick his penis as if it were a lollypop, using long slow movements over the head and up the sides. Take his penis into your mouth and swirl your tongue around the head.

Deep-throating is where you take the whole penis into your mouth rather than keeping a hand or two on it. This can be very difficult and uncomfortable, resulting in gagging. If you aren’t comfortable deep-throating your partner it’s ok because the head of the penis is the most sensitive part anyway so that’s what’s most important.

Don’t be shy about adding something a bit tasty to your playtime. A little flavored lubricant, chocolate, honey, pop rocks, ice, a sip of something hot or anything else that you think tastes good will make this a feast that can satisfy both of you. Pop some toothpaste in your mouth before you put his penis in your mouth and it will give a very cool feeling (temperature-wise). Another trick is to try popping an Altoids into your mouth before you begin. These curiously strong mints can give a fabulous tingle.

Also try twisting your head to one direction as your hand twists gently the other way. Men can find it very erotic to watch you lick their cock so be sure to remember that part of sex is showmanship; look him in the eye and while you do dirty things to him. Judge his reaction and what he likes and match it with that you are comfortable doing.

Tease your partner by changing the speed, get him really aroused by moving faster and sucking harder and then slow down so that he does not reach orgasm. Take him to the very brink of orgasm (not easy) and then slow him down. Enjoy it (he will), you are in complete control.

Discuss the matter of ejaculation before you start. If you would not like him to ejaculate in your mouth, let him know that and ask him to give you a shoulder tap or maybe a verbal announcement before this happens. You can also have him wear a condom (flavored, if you like) so he can let his ejaculate go without discomfort or awkwardness.

Always remember to keep an open line of communication between you and your partner as to what both of you like and dislike. Try new things and see what works and what doesn’t.
