8 Best Gender Jobs to Relieve Stress

Most days we live incredible stress – over the past few years, the pandemic, international turmoil and chaotic political environments have triggered our combat or flight instincts. Between work, family and everything else, keep your head spinning and keeping your phone scrolling, all and all valuable free time should be spent trying to stand out. A way to do this? Sex, of course.

“Sex is an excellent stress relief because it releases chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine, endorphins and oxytocin,” Pjur’s resident sex educator Tim Lagman told Sheknows. “These chemicals are natural mood enhancers released during orgasm, which help reset the nervous system, thus bringing the body from fighting or flying to rest and digestion.” Sex may also be meditation, he added, “this can help people get out of their minds and get back into their bodies to help them help them during periods of anxiety.”

So, what positions should you choose when you tend to be sexual stress relief? Are we talking about lazy, low-key positions that maximize your pleasure, remove stress or challenging positions, and force you to stay present and focus? Alicia Sinclair, founder and CEO of Le Wand, actually recommends different approaches based on the pressure you are under. “If you are mentally exhausted and need to decompress, a slower, more intimate position works best, imagine a spoon or a lotus that can melt in a partner,” she said. “But if you are subjected to body tension or suppressed energy, sometimes you need a more positive position that allows you to literally remove stress from your body.”

The beauty of stressful sex, she said, is that it doesn’t have to be performing at the center. “These positions are designed around comfort and connection rather than acrobatics. Stress relief naturally occurs when you remove the stress of ‘good at sexual goodness’ and focus on feeling good.”

To help you pursue the best chill, TLC-filled sex life, we have compiled some of our favorite positions to make sex a relaxing, stress-free experience.

spoon

What is: In this house, we love spoons! On the one hand, few positions are more intimate and low-key, and it just provides warmth and blur among partners. Lying on your sides, letting your penetrating partner enter from behind – Meanwhile, you can hold the toy for free or explore other pornographic areas on your body. You can also control the penetration depth according to the bending method without making a fuss.

Why this is great for stress relief: “The spoon is the ultimate comfort position,” Sinclair said. “The whole body contact releases oxytocin – our bonding hormone – while slow and gentle exercise naturally lowers your heart rate and blood pressure. This is especially effective for anxiety because you feel full grip and support.” Plus, the speed of laziness means you can focus entirely on feeling rather than performance.

lotus

What’s this: The lotus sounds less curved, and it’s a super cute and calm way to embrace your partner. As their partner crosses them, sit on their legs, wrapping their legs around their waists for face-to-face intimacy. It’s easy and easy to enjoy the thrust of this position while also sharing sweet words, kisses or looks.

Why this is great for stress relief: “Lotus creates this beautiful intimate bubble where you can eye contact, kiss and whisper to each other throughout the process,” Sinclair shared. “Finish contact and synchronous breathing naturally regulate your nervous system. It’s especially powerful for couples who deal with relationship stress because it can rebuild emotional connections while providing body release.”

Co-alignment

What’s this: Another elevated cousin’s missionary, while the front line encourages you to keep your pelvis below the penetration partner and bend your knees so they rest against your arms. This guarantees a lot of action on the clitoris, which is something we can always fall behind.

Why this is great for stress relief: “Cohabitation consistency is great for women who need to ensure clitoral stimulation for complete relaxation and pleasure,” Sinclair shared. “When you know that orgasm may be possible, you can stop managing the encounter psychologically and just surrender to the feeling. The consistent stress and rhythm creates a meditation quality that is incredible for overstimulating thoughts.”

plow

What’s this: If you are a yogi, you may be familiar with the true calm feeling of happy baby poses. The plow isn’t exactly that, but it has a relaxed missionary atmosphere that allows you to lie down and enjoy all the penetrating companions have to give. Depending on your flexibility, you can lift your legs and lean against your partner’s shoulders, hook your knees or not depending on how comfortable you are with you. From there, you just have to let them reach out and enjoy the deep penetration.

Why this is great for stress relief: “The plow has this excellent surrender quality – you’re really just lying and accepting,” Sinclair explained. “For those who are constantly in control mode, this position forces you to passively and feel it. The deep penetration can be incredible grounding, while the raised legs can actually improve the circulation, which helps release body tension.”

Flat dog style

What’s this: Modify the standard dirty dog movement by emitting more stuff. Position the regular dog and simply place yourself on the bed so that the penetration partner hangs over you and is comfortable and comfortable with the mattress (or any surface you work with). Also, by not having to stay up late, everyone’s hands can freely roam or mix with the toys.

Why this is great for stress relief: “Flat puppies combine the deep penetration rate of traditional dogs with the comfort of lying down,” Sinclair said. “The full body contact feels incredible parenting and protective. This is especially beneficial for releasing body tension, as the receiving partner can completely relax their core and back muscles while still getting strong stimulation.”

Standing puppy

What’s this: When the penetration partner enters from behind, the receiving partner faces the wall or leans against a table or counter.

Why this is great for stress relief: “It’s perfect for relaxing tension, not requiring intimacy, and can work deeply (literally) to press your pressure,” Ligman said. “It’s also a great move to take a house anywhere.”

Pile driver

What’s this: Start with the receiving partner lying down. Their torso should slide off the feet of the bed as they stretch out their legs. For the receiving partner, you can support your lower back with your hands – For those engaged in Pilates, you may know that this position is Jack Knife. The penetration partner keeps legs on the bed, but the upper half extends out of the bed, supporting yourself with your hands in the push-up position on the high plank. Slowly adjust the positioning until input.

Why this is great for stress relief: “It’s great for penetrating partners to do vigorous exercise, and the receiving partners can work hard to be flexible,” Ligman explained. “Another great way to sweat!”

Stand 69

What’s this: When penetration is not done, a fun way to perform oral sex, albeit more challenging. One partner can lean against a handstand on the wall for support, while the other partner stands normally, ensuring both partners are consistent in their mouths and genitals. The standing partner can support the handheld partner’s hips to maintain balance. If both partners have strength and endurance, then this change is that the standing partner will assume the upside down partner by lifting them upside down. An upside-down partner can wrap your legs around an upright partner to increase support.

Why this is great for stress relief: “Now, if it’s not done right, it can create a lot of stress,” Ligman admits. “However, it can make so much sense that if you can keep this position in detail, you’ll forget why you’re under stress.”
