How Not to be a Prude when You’re in the Nude

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Exeter chapter.

The English have always been known to be modest when it comes to talking about those cheeky frolics in the bedroom. However what is most surprising is that some of us can still be pretty coy during an intimate moment with a loved one in the private surroundings of our own rooms. With erotic fiction such as Fifty Shades of Grey and Cosmopolitan’s recent release of Sexy Stories, HCX thought we’d help you to embrace your inner Goddess, banishing that inner prude to get pulses racing!

 

  1. Enjoy a Starter as well as Main:

Try performing a Burlesque inspired strip tease before getting down to business. The great thing about burlesque is that it is subtle yet extremely effective. Think more Dita Von Teese than your standard Playboy Bunny and there you have it. Your boy will be quaking for more and you would have silenced your inner prude without losing your dignity! Hey, it worked for Chuck and Blair– so it can work for you!

 

  1. Be Vocal:

As the saying goes “it takes two to tango” so don’t let your man be the only one to have all of the fun. In 2013, you shouldn’t have to “fake it to make it” so you let your boy know what feels good so you can both benefit from the situation! Being assertive about what you want is a fool-proof aphrodisiac that will leave your man begging for more so try it out and enjoy the results.

 

  1. Don’t Be Afraid To Try New Things:

Whilst some may have been shocked by the scandalous behaviour of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steel, you cannot deny that they have a ruddy good sex life. HCX are not endorsing spanking, but would say try to vamp up your bedroom antics to make it more fun! As long as you do it safely and consensually, do not be afraid to whack out the old school tie and have play time, who knows what could happen!

 

 

  1. Do it with The Lights On:

This might sound fairly ridiculous, but you would be amazed how many couples save their intimate moments until the dark hours of the night. If you are in the mood for cheeky fumble and it is daylight, don’t ruin the moment, go for it. There is a reason that most things look better with the light on…

 


 

  1. Take it Outside the Bedroom:

An easy way to vamp up your sex life is to try a change of scenery. HCX wouldn’t recommend any communal spaces in your student house (this would be really gross) but try to be adventurous, and see how that ride in the countryside is transformed. Be aware that intercourse is illegal in most public places, so make sure you’re as remote as possible to avoid arrest or being seen/caught in the act!

By simply making a few changes to your regular routine, your inner prude can be banished, being replaced instead by a sexual goddess. As always, HCX cannot stress the importance of using protection so make sure you check out the methods of contraception available to you here. Be aware that you don’t have to do anything you’re not comfortable with – whatever works for you is absolutely fine: never feel pressured into doing something you don’t want to.

You may just be an average student but that does not mean you should have an average sex life, so take on these top tips and enjoy yourself!
