1/7

Don't make these mistakes

Have good sex, enjoy your bodies but there are small things that you must never do before or after sex. It can ruin the mood, affect your performance and leave you with sour sex memories. So read on and note down 6 things that you must avoid.

2/7

Don’t get drunk

Yes many people like to have some alcohol to set the mood and ease the nerves but finishing the entire bottle before having sex is the worst mistake you could make. It leads to unsatisfying sex and many people have a hard time reaching an orgasm.

3/7

Avoid some positions

By this we mean that after sex, don’t elevate your pelvis as that boosts chances of concieving. You must watch out on how you lie after sex.

4/7

The presex shower

If your partner is uncircumcised then he must rinse his foreskin before having sex. The foreskin has UTI- causing bacteria which can be passed on to you too.

5/7

Don’t rush to use the bathroom

Yes you must pee after having sex but that does not mean that you have to jump out of the bed to do it unless you really need to pee. Stay, snuggle and then go.

6/7

Avoid a big dinner

Have healthy veggies, legumes and whole grains but not just before sex as that makes you gassy. Avoid high fiber foods atleast an hour or two before doing it. You can also have a small piece of chocolate as that boosts serotonin levels.

7/7

Clean the sex toys

It is good that you use sex toys but you must make sure that they have been washed well, dried thoroughly and then placed back to where they were kept before. If you do not, they will have microorganisms that can cause severe infections.
