GET INTO AN ORGASIMIC STATE OF MIND If an orgasm just isn’t happening, you’ll need to play a few Jedi mind tricks with yourself before your clothes come off. We all have different hang-ups. So try all these tricks to narrow down what works best for you. • Read or watch some sexy stuff. Whether you are turned on by erotica, porn, a hot indie band (try The xx), or Brian Williams reading the news (hey, different strokes), partake in that activity before engaging in sexytime. You want to go into sex already experiencing that tingly feeling in your stomach rather than hoping your hookups provides the tingles. • Indulge a fantasy. Think about a hot scenario before and yes, during, sex. (Some men worry this is somehow wrong, like mental cheating, it’s not.) So go ahead, play sexy little movies in your mind about what ever turns you on—a hot moment you had last year, Gosling, or a vision of what’s to come. • Eliminate distractions. Turn off your phone...or the lights if you think you’re going to be self conscious about your body. You want to be in the moment, not thinking about your chest or how much weight you have gained. • Take a shower. All the steam will set the scene...and you won’t be lying there worrying about how you taste or smell when you should be focusing on your climax. • Stoping thinking about him. Let him know you want to trade off nights when it’s all about you and other nights when you can return the favor. You may just hit a rhythm where you’re in sync with each other and every night is a home run for the both of you! • Don’t freak out if it doesn’t feel like it’s going to happen. On average, it takes a man 20 mins to have direct stimulation to climax. It’s all normal if some men have a shorter time than others. It’s common to reach a plateau phase, when you’re turned on but feel like you’ve stalled. Don’t lose hope. Stick with what got you to that point and you will likely get there. If you don’t you probably will next time. HOLD HIS HIPS Guys generally have se x using an in-and-out th rusting motion, which isn’t ide al for you. You’re going to have a much better shot if you grab his bu tt, hold him deep inside you, and en courage him to move in a circu lar motion. This helps to ke ep direct pressure on your g-spot.
