Three Ways to Make Sex More Pleasurable

If you’re looking for some great sex tips, you’ve come to the right place! At MOOD, it’s our mission to help you achieve the pleasure you deserve. 

Enjoying sexual pleasure isn’t just fun, it’s also good for you. How? Well, every orgasm you have releases oxytocin, a hormone that is known to improve your mood. Additionally, regular sexual activity improves your heart health, is known to reduce stress and depression, boosts your self-esteem, and can even help you get better sleep. Clearly, these reasons alone should make you want to indulge in more sex with a partner or yourself. Check out MOOD’s Three Ways to Make Sex More Pleasurable tips below!

ONE: Enjoy some foreplay, roleplay, and MOOD PLAY™!

Getting stuck in a sex rut is no fun for anyone. In fact, it’s downright boring. That’s why we urge you to try new things. This starts with foreplay. Before we mention this, we’d like to recommend expanding your idea of what foreplay means. Instead of thinking of it as an appetizer or little sex snack before you have actual sex, consider it as building a connection with your partner. 

Our Founder, Layla Martin, recommends that you stay in the moment, rather than thinking of foreplay as what you do before sex. Instead of using foreplay as something you do just so you can have sex, put the emphasis on playing with your partner and set intercourse aside. The sexiest things can happen when you focus on the pleasure that’s happening in the moment, rather than charging ahead to some sort of outcome or sex goal. 

This is where roleplay can help. Not only will this allow you to act out some fantasies or try new things, but it also helps you open up and focus on the moment, rather than just focusing on sexual intercourse. Sexual roleplay doesn’t have to be all blindfolds and whips unless that’s what you’re into. It can be any activity in which you and your consenting partner assume a different role or character in an imaginary scenario–it can be a lot of fun and it’s very playful. Typically, you and your partner would have a conversation about a fantasy or ideas ahead of time to ensure that you both consent before trying anything. Then, you’ll design a scene together which may involve dressing a certain way, exploring a different, fantasy location, and coming up with a background story. Once you’ve determined these things HAVE FUN and play with each other focusing on what happens from moment to moment. Make sure you communicate and if certain activities are involved, use a safeword. 

If you need a little help getting into a more playful headspace, MOOD PLAY™, one of our sexy plant-activated supplements can help you get there. Available in both capsules and a deliciously decadent dark chocolate drink mix, these supplements are custom-formulated with science-baked aphrodisiacs and dopaminergics that shift you from a state of overthinking about everything into a more open bodily state so you can focus on physical, blissful pleasure in the moment. 

TWO: Don’t Forget the Lube and MOOD SEX MAGIC™

Let’s talk about lube! Whether you’re having sex with a partner or pleasuring yourself, lube makes things more slippery, slidey, and sexy! At MOOD, we like to recommend a two-tiered approach when it comes to lubrication. 

First things first, we recommend that you try some MOOD SEX MAGIC™. When enjoyed before a hot date night or even before sexual intercourse as a fun foreplay ritual with a partner, MOOD SEX MAGIC™ has been known to help enhance and increase signs of natural female lubrication. We like to describe it as sparkling sex on demand as it is formulated to help enhance pleasure and arousal quickly with science-backed ingredients, like shilajit, saffron, desert hyacinth, panax ginseng, mucuna pruriens, evening primrose, huperzine-a, l-arginine, beetroot powder, and ginger. When you mix these magical aphrodisiacs, antioxidants, adaptogens, dopaminergics, and nootropics, sparkling and shimmering things happen naturally happen inside your body, enhancing arousal and lubrication quickly so you can experience wildly delicious sensations. 

In addition to MOOD SEX MAGIC™, adding store-bought lubrication can make sex feel more pleasurable as its purpose is to reduce friction and prevent discomfort. We like to recommend using safe lubricants formulated with natural ingredients, like coconut-derived MCT oil or palm oils. You can even find some wonderful lubricants formulated with hemp-derived ingredients that enhance your sexual pleasure in very beautiful ways.

THREE: Take a Deep Breath and try a Relaxing MOOD SENSUALITY Ritual

Do you often feel too stressed for sex? This isn’t uncommon. Many people report feeling too anxious and stressed to tap into their sexual desires. When you’re too stressed and continually overthinking things, it can be hard to shift into feeling sensual. Sensuality is an important aspect of sex, because it’s associated with the physical and pleasurable aspects of the human experience. 

This is where MOOD SENSUALITY™ can help. MOOD SENSUALITY™ is available in an easy-to-take capsule or a delicious drink mix that helps you perform a relaxing ritual on your own or with your partner before exploring each other’s physical desires. We created these plant-activated, science-backed supplements with ingredients, like ashwagandha, damiana, blue vervain, and more to help you perform the shift from mind to body, so instead of the stress of overthinking, you experience the pleasures of the senses.

If you feel the need to relax and focus on the physical, try this MOOD SENSUALITY™ ritual:

• Find a quiet, calm space and turn off your phone. Set the mood with candles, different beloved fragrances, and anything that brings you peace, like a relaxing playlist
• Brew a cup of MOOD SENSUALITY™ Tea using boiled water, one scoop of MOOD SENSUALITY, and fresh mint to garnish
• Drink your MOOD SENSUALITY™ tea and include an activity that helps you focus on a sensory experience, like a warm bath, a massage, kissing your partner, or something else that helps you focus on what things feel like physically
• Try not to let the outside world interrupt your sensual experience–it will be there when you get back.

We hope these tips have provided you with some exciting new things to explore sexually on your own or with a partner. All we want at MOOD is for you to experience the pleasure that you deserve in life.
