How to survive drunken sex: 10 golden tips!

Nocturnal attempts to make love while drunk often end up being very embarrassing. Men often can’t get it up, you lose your balance, you suddenly get sick to your stomach, or you fall asleep. Just a few struggles that many inebriated lovers encounter. So how do you make drunk sex a (sort of) success anyway? We’ll share our 10 golden tips!

1. Don’t get too confident

With quite a few drinks in your system, you often think you can take on the world. You solve global issues in just a few minutes, deliberate like Socrates, dance like Michael Jackson, and feel like a king (or queen) in bed. Try to leave that ego behind and keep it simple. No complicated sex positions, lifting sessions, or acrobatic excesses; just the classic positions like doggy style and missionary. Because before you know it, you or your sex partner won’t just be hungover tomorrow, but also injured!

2. Fresh air and a glass of water

When you get into some sexy foreplay, your heart automatically starts beating faster. This happens while your body is already struggling to keep you balanced with all that alcohol in your bloodstream! Chances are that you’ll feel dizzy or nauseous. To avoid this, it’s best to get some fresh air, drink a glass of water and, if possible, turn on a light. Because having drunken sex in a dark room… that’s asking for trouble.

3. Don’t forget the condom

Getting it up with all that alcohol in your system is already quite a task, and then there’s also that infamous but oh so important piece of rubber to consider! Well, no one said it was going to be easy. Still, it’s important to always use a condom. Research shows that drunk people forget to have safe sex more often. Always make sure to have condoms in your bedside table and let your partner know it’s important. Yes, it’s a hassle, but an unwanted pregnancy or STI is even worse.

4. Enjoy the ride

The more drunk you are, the harder it becomes to get both of you to a high end. Still, we all do everything we can to work ourselves towards a climax, right? Be careful not to do too much and become exhausted after a few minutes. Try to enjoy it and don’t just think about getting off. The same goes for non-drunk sex, by the way 😉

5. Don’t cross boundaries

A few drinks can help you loosen up. But if you’re quite tipsy or even drunk, chances are your boundaries will become blurry. The last thing you want is to wake up the next morning and discover you did something your partner isn’t okay with, or vice versa. We shouldn’t have to say it, but always respect each other’s boundaries and never challenge someone on them!

6. Strategic drinking

When you hook up with a cute girl or guy while going out, you have to be careful. Watch your drinking and don’t pour yourself more than you can handle. That way, your body has time to sober up a little. Firstly, it’ll increase the chances of you being able to maintain a normal conversation. And secondly, it’ll probably improve the sex as well. A real win-win situation.

7. Don’t smoke right before sex

After downing a few drinks, you’re more likely to light up a cigarette. If you come home drunk with someone you want to sleep with, it may be tempting to have a glass of water and light up a cig first. However, the combination of sitting down and nicotine can be a bad combination. You might get a bit dizzy or nauseous, and believe us, that strong smell won‘t make your partner feel better either.

8. Watch out for taking breaks

Normally, some variety with short breaks between lovemaking is fun. When you’re drunk, this is not the case. After all, now there’s a greater chance that your penis will go limp or that you’ll suddenly fall asleep. Make sure you find a nice pace that you can keep up. You’ll probably have long forgotten this tip when the time comes, but it’s still important. Perhaps you should print out this article and hang it above your bed? 😉

9. Take good care of each other

In a sexual way? Of course. But also in the make-sure-that-you-don’t-faint way! Having sex can be just as exhausting as exercising. And going to the gym drunk? We’d rather not do that to ourselves either. If you don’t feel good or if your bed partner lacks the energy to continue, don’t blame them. Blame it on the alcohol. Try to hold off sleep until you’re sobered up a bit and make sure you lie on your sides, so that – if you do have to vomit – you don’t risk choking!

10. Don’t expect too much

One-night stands often sound much more romantic than they actually are. They often involve drunken sex or a desperate Tinder date. In both cases, the sex is often anything but incredible. So don’t expect passion, fireworks, and the best sex ever, even from yourself! Especially not when you’re drunk. Nevertheless, it can be fun, even if the best part is telling your friends the story afterwards.
