If you’re in a committed relationship, the warm weather can work for you too. In an article for Chatelaine, relationships therapist Joan Marsman reminds us that “Romance is a lifestyle.” The article, Four Ways to Inspire Summer Romance with Your Partner, offers tips that apply all year-round. She encourages breaking your routine, and summer is prime time to do so! The obvious would be to take a trip together, but if that’s outside your budget, keep it simple. Take advantage of the longer days by just spending more quality time together. Less class means less homework. The slower pace will put you both at ease, which is sure to lead to more romance. And who doesn't enjoy that?
If you’re single be open to the possibilities. The warm summer nights are electrifying and anything goes. Plus people are ready to awaken from their hibernating state and get loose. If you don’t know where to meet someone, literally go anywhere outside—it’s impossible to not meet a guy...or like ten. The beach, backyard barbecues, outdoor concerts, even dive bar patios (#trendy)—all are great places to turn up the heat. Her Campus points out that a single summer doesn’t mean a man-free summer. Au contraire, according to The 5 Best Things about Being Single This Summer, if you’re not tied down to one you can have a good time with many! Just be safe and it’s sure to be a hot one!
Whether you’re taken or single, make this summer one you’ll never forget. If you’re looking to spend your break relaxing with your partner, get things started with a massage gel that doubles as a lubricant. Try new things, inside and outside of the bedroom. One woman who takes that expression to heart is Dr. Kat, resident sexologist at Adam and Eve. Dr. Kat encourages outdoor sex and in this video she shares tips for where and how to do it right. She suggests keeping a blanket on hand in case the opportunity for an impromptu love sesh arises. This brings all new meaning to fun in the sun and is sure to make lasting memories for you and your guy. Hello scandalous!!!!
Even if you have a full-time internship or are taking a few classes over summer session, don’t forget that this could be your last real summer. Do you want to look back twenty years from now and regret? Maybe your summer plans don't involve a dude, but whatever your goals, get out there and get happy! Whether it’s a summer of romance, hook-ups, or reading by the pool, enjoy it.
Single or taken, make it yours mama's!
