The Sex You Should Be Having

By Lindsay Dolak There are probably a million different ways to twist up your sheets and mess up your hair and makeup. By the time you’re 20 you’ve, hopefully, tried and tested quite a few sex styles. However, there are some classic styles that everyone simply must engage in and these are my top six.

Make-up Sex

You know what they say: never go to bed mad at someone. Instead of drenching your pillowcases with tears of anger and sadness after a big fight, soak your sheets with the sweat of a fantastic forgiveness fuck. The adrenaline you both worked up from the passionate expression of your opinions will have your heart rate up and ready to release that energy in an even better way. So the next time you and your boyfriend are arguing because he made some backhanded comment about you washing dishes being “good practice for the future,” remember it’s better to bang it out in bed than to promptly turn and chuck said dishes at his face.

Might-Get-Caught Sex

You know that moment when you’re in the basement of Bird Library, studying for your Anatomy final and you look across the table at your partner and suddenly think of a million better ways to study Anatomy than reading a textbook? Sometimes sex just needs to happen and it doesn’t care what your latitude and longitude is, it just wants to play. So, make an adventure out of it and sneak into a dressing room if you’re at the mall or hit the emergency stop button in the elevator for a quickie. Go find your own little piece of heaven in whatever public restroom you please. The potential to get caught will heighten your excitement.

Shower Sex

You’re fully naked, soaking wet (pun intended), and soaped up and slippery from head to toe. Need I say more? If you’ve only steamed up the bathroom mirrors by turning up the hot water, then you’re seriously missing out.

Marathon Sex

This one requires some serious stamina, a good chunk of time, and maybe a few protein bars. Everyone loves a good Law and Order: SVU marathon, but a sex marathon might take the cake. If you ever get a full day to spend with your sweetie, free of all school, work, or life-in-general obligations, spend it in bed together. But don’t buy into that whole catching up on your sleep will help relieve stress and be a nice break from your daily routine. Just go at it. For hours and hours. I promise, your stress levels will never be lower, your endorphins will never be higher, and you’ll sleep like a baby when all is said, come, and done.

Rough Sex

Or animalistic sex, if you will, is the sex that is free of all inhibitions. It’s the hair-pulling, hands around your neck, scratches on your back, harder, harder, harder sex that will leave you and your partner sweaty, panting, and definitely smiling next to each other when it’s over. It’s the sex I imagine Jack and Rose were having in the back of that buggy during that infamous moment Rose’s sweaty hands streaked down the fogged-up window.

Sensual Sex/Making Love

Since you’re probably sore from your wild and rough sex adventure yesterday, let’s slow things down tonight. Sensual, close, or romantic sex is that chest-to-chest, kisses on the collarbone and neck, deeper, deeper, deeper sex that, not only feels amazing, but also actually has some real emotion attached to it. Usually reserved for those annoying love birds who always hold hands and never fight, sensual sex is definitely the most intimate of them all and can give way to a feeling of closeness and comfort. It’s the deep conversation of the sexual world.
