Tips based on zodiac signs to make your sex life more interesting

There’s a chill in the air, dead leaves crunching underfoot, the holidays are approaching and cuffing season has begun.

While we’ve gotten used to the good times indoors this winter, I’m here to tell you—hibernation can be hot.

What is cuffing season?

The season of sitting on the sidelines is the fall impulse, when people enter into more serious or defined relationships in preparation for the long winter.

“Cuffing” refers to a commitment between two people akin to two people cuffing themselves together, which can be weird or scary depending on your interpretation.

If you’re a Pagan, cuffing season lasts from approximately late fall to early spring, from the spring equinox to the vernal equinox.

The appeal of cuffing season is the belief that partnership staves off loneliness, seasonal depression, and the pain and trauma that come with spending the holidays alone.

Whether you’re locking it in with a long-term love or warming it up with a long fall fling, it’s the season of experimentation — with toys, posts, and even shared lists of things to get done before spring’s first thaw .

While each of the intimate adventures below comes with a zodiac prescription, I invite you—Aries and Pisces and all signs in between—to explore, to be inspired, in the dark days and wild nights ahead. and enjoy.

How to Have Sexual Exploration Conversations with Your Partner

Because we live in an oppressive patriarchal dustbin where society would rather we feel shame than be happy, conversations about sex can be challenging for both parties.

Sarah Riccio, sex sage and owner of delicto.com, offers her insights on how to talk to your partner about hot-sounding cold weather sex.

As with all things, consent and compassion are paramount.

“If you bring up the idea of ​​a new sex position, your partner may feel nervous about stepping out of their comfort zone,” explains Riccio. “This doesn’t necessarily mean the answer is no, but address it before jumping into new territory.” Feelings of discomfort or performance anxiety are important. Take enough time to address desires, needs, fears, and use safe words if applicable, the more you allow yourself to be vulnerable with your loved one, the deeper your intimacy will be. “
