Have you ever torn open a condom wrapper with your teeth? Or double-bagged a condom for extra protection? If so, you are like the countless others who’ve made a sex mistake without realizing it. Oops! Here are 7 sex mistakes you didn’t know you were making.
- Opening the condom wrapper with your teeth
Though you may think this is hot, you should never use sharp objects like your teeth, a knife or scissors to open the condom package. In a study, people who opened the wrapper this way were three times more likely to encounter breakage. Scary not sexy! - Only kissing on the lips
Kissing is sexy, no doubt about it, but did you know that there are 10 other erogenous zones begging to be paid attention to? Better start putting those lips to work! - Forgetting to put lube inside the condom
If you’ve only been putting lube on the outside of the condom, a sexologist has this to say, “Always use [water or silicone-based] lube inside the condom. It prevents breakage and plus, it actually feels so much better for the condom wearer.” Be careful not to use too much, though: the condom could slip off. - Double-bagging it
Using two condoms does not increase your protection; in fact, it increases the risk that the condom will break due to friction. - Not watching your diet
If your libido has been lacking lately, it might be time to check your diet. Nutrient rich foods like blackberries, watermelon, ginger, broccoli, and oysters can help enhance libido and sexual endurance. - Not having sex after the gym
If you usually hit the shower instead of hitting the sheets, you need to change your routine. Science shows that blood flow to your genital area is higher after a workout, which increases sexual function. The increased testosterone also puts you in the mood. - Not having enough sex
“Having sex can improve your sleep cycle, lower your blood pressure, ease stress, burn calories, clear up nasal congestion, fight depression and yes, help you live longer,” says Distractify. Nuff said!
