The summer, the heat, the holidays favor sexual relations as a couple or single, according to our sexologist, Claudia Kosler of mediQuo.

Sex: Do we have more sexual encounters in summer?

The heat, free time and light clothes are some of the factors that encourage more sexual intercourse. This is how our sexologist, Claudia Kösler, sees it.

It is clear that we all like to maintain an active sex life, but it is true that in the summer months we are more relaxed and we can distribute time in a different way. If you are in a relationship, you have more time to spend together and less of a routine. If you are not, you have more time to go out and meet new people.

Claudia Kösler reminds us that being free of stress, relaxed and rested is the best for good sexual encounters, regardless of the emotional situation that you are in.

What happens in our body?

The heat alters our blood in the spring and especially in the summertime. Our body produces more vitamin D, testosterone, oxytocin, and releases a lot of endorphins. The latter are the hormones responsible for increasing SEXUAL DESIRE and PLEASURE. This triggers the libido to be sky high, which is where all of our sexual energy will come from. Our sexologist stresses that this is why we have more sexual encounters in summer. Whether you’re on vacation or working, you are sure to find a place in your schedule for it.

Are there other factors that influence sexual relationships?

Claudia Kösler exposes us to several. We have distributed them into 3 fundamental points:

  • The light: the days are longer and this helps us to have more plans in our day to day. It gives us time to do everything and we want to take advantage of every minute of it.
  • The feelings: in the summer there is more light and this influences our feelings; we are happier, more likely to engage in conversation, or even more likely to meet up again with a certain friend or past lover.
  • Flirting: we love to like it; it is our number one sport. We get a beautiful tan and show more skin than in other seasons. We like to flirt and we even take care of ourselves, exercising more and eating well.

All of this combined with the HEAT makes us have some changes in our privacy. Although summer has its variables that move us toward more sexual activity, each person has their own tendencies and sex cannot just be turned on with the flip of a switch. Due to this, it is important to consider that everyone will have their moments and it is not necessary to force anything.

In addition, we want to point out that many young people become sexually active in the summer. From mediQuo, we call on mothers and fathers to speak openly about this issue with their children. It is important that they know that the use of condoms not only prevents unwanted pregnancies, but also prevents STDs.
