Getting Some Action: Why Aren't You Next?

Getting Some Action: Why Aren’t You Next?

Whatever the benefits of abstinence may be, mind-blowing pleasure and a bodily afterglow are certainly not among them. Sex is fun, frequent sex is better, and few things are worse than an extended period without any action. Often it can feel like the best years of your life are slipping away without anyone to appreciate the fine piece of ass that you are, and no one wants to feel like that.

First off, let’s adjust your attitude a bit. Whatever stigma may surround casual sex and whatever reservations you may hold on the subject, force yourself to let go a bit. It’s the year 2020 and if the world’s impending doom isn’t motivation enough to get your freak on, then remind yourself that prudishness doesn’t get anyone any action. Provided you’re using protection, a fling or two isn’t going to hurt anyone.

Secondly, get your ass out of the house! Travel! There’s nothing quite like a new scene, new faces and new curves to get the blood flowing again, not to mention you’ll be one of the new faces which is a big advantage when it comes to attracting a dance partner. Wherever you go in search of excitement, make the effort to go far afield. Don’t limit yourself to the bar up the road or that one dance club you like. Take a holiday if necessary but be sure that you’re surrounded by fresh faces and in an environment where you can take risks and drop your inhibitions a bit. Ideally, a spot where no matter how much of a fool you make of yourself during your pursuit, no one is likely to recognize you at work the next morning.

Lastly, let’s adjust that attitude of yours a bit more. If you’ve been in the grips of a dry spell, you’ve probably suffered a breakup in the not too distant past. You’re probably wanting a relationship as much as you’re wanting nookie and that’s all fine and well, but right now we’re looking to revive your sex life, not find your future spouse. Maintain realistic expectations. Don’t be too nitpicky about the fact that she loves the music you hate, or that his life philosophy isn’t identical to your own. You’re looking for someone attractive that you can get along with. Someone who’s open to charming and being charmed. If you can’t see yourself with them four months down the road, who cares? Get a little frisky and give in to hedonism.

If your love life is more limp than lusty, it’s time to dress to the nines and get away from that PC: getting laid isn’t as hard as it seems, and you should be next!
