As college students, we have a lot on our plates. We have extra curriculars, papers due, work and keeping up a social life. It’s a lot to handle. You might think to yourself, “What is something I can do to unwind and take the stress off?” The answer is sex!

Of course, you have the usual yoga or meditation but sex is proven to relieve stress. Sex can have many beneficial aspects to it. The different positions you can do are stress relievers within itself.

Studies have shown that women and men feel less stressed and were found to be in better moods when partaking in sexual intimacy and orgasming. Sex can lead to feeling less stress and because you are less stressed, you have more sex. The feeling of someone’s touch can give you a strong sense of your emotional health as well as physically.

If you have ever played that game where you touch your partners leg and you inch up every so often to get a smile or giggle out of them, you know this feeling of warmth and giddiness. This feeling alone can make you feel better if you are stressed. Through orgasms, your body produces numerous hormones that leads to relaxation. That’s why it is common to want to go to sleep after sex. During sex, you are taking your mind off of what is causing you stress and focusing on your body.

There are certain positions that specifically can help you unwind. The best positions are ones that will help you forget your troubles, meaning the ones that are full of pleasurable moments.

The first one you can try when you’re right in the middle of your stressful studying. Take a break and go down on your partner while they are seated and vice versa.  This is where you can sit back and enjoy the ride to orgasm. You can also bring in a hand job and toys to keep it exciting and different.  
Another position you can try is called the plow. This one is a favorite if you’re into being in control or being controlled. This is where your partner is either on top of you completely and you have you legs over their shoulders. It is missionary with maximum pleasure added to it. Be careful to not pull a muscle but try your best. In this position, you get deep penetration. This will help you forget anything that was stressing you out before you started.
The next position is simple standing up sex. Standing up is when you don’t have much time because you have to study so you get a quick orgasm in to ease your nerves. You have do standing up sex as loving and sensual or taking charge and rough. Since one person is behind the other, you can grab on each other, get kisses on the neck and possibly some hair pulling.

The last position you can try is by yourself. Self- stimulation can be the best because it is up to you of how you want it to go. You can put on some porn, use a sex toy or just relax and go into your thoughts. It can be anything. You don’t have to worry about anyone else’s orgasm but yourself.
Don’t get too stressed in your work where you are at the point of no sex- drive at all. Everyone needs a break. Whether it’s because of work or student loan debt, take the time to relax.

With these positions, you can bring your partner along or participate in some “me” time. Either way, be safe and enjoy your new de-stressing activity.
