People Are Sharing Sex Advice On Reddit & It'll Change Everything You You Thought You Knew

This might not seem like a "sex tip," but if you're in a long-term relationship and want an easy way to spice things up in the bedroom, sleeping naked can work wonders. Plus, when you can sleep in the buff, who even needs pajamas anyway?

If you're experiencing a dry spell, it can be easy to get down on yourself and start thinking that you're not good enough for a potential sex/romantic partner. The truth? Lacking confidence when it comes to sex is only going to have a detrimental effect on your sex life, and you should never just assume someone else is "too good" for you.

Honestly, this might as well be the alpha and omega of sex tips. Instead of using tissues or a rag for clean-up after sex, switch to baby wipes: it's faster, easier, and you'll smell a lot better (trust me).

If you haven't heard yet, foreplay is a wonderful thing. Instead of treating intercourse as the only "real" part of sex, spend time putting in the prep work to turn your partner on — the payoff will be huge for both of you.

One of the most important lessons you can learn about sex is that it's totally OK if there's an awkward or embarrassing moment. Instead of making a huge deal out of something, just relax and go with the flow.

Orgasms are great and everything, but they shouldn't be the end-all-be-all goal of sex. The best sex is all about sharing intimacy, and you don't need to have an orgasm to have an amazing time in bed with your partner.

When it comes to something as important as your sexual health, you should feel no shame whatsoever in taking matters into your own hands. Whatever method of birth control/STI prevention works best for you, do that — even if it goes against societal norms.

Of course, everyone is different when it comes to their preferred volume preference (both in themselves and in a partner), but you should never feel embarrassed to come out of your shell and make noise if something feels good and you're enjoying yourself.

It doesn't really matter what your go-to sex position is: if you want an easy way to spice things up, all you need is a well-placed pillow.

Although mainstream porn would have us believe that all men are blessed with the ability to maintain an erection for upwards of an hour, that's simply not reality. In the event that you or your partner experiences premature ejaculation, instead of getting mopey and/or self-deprecating, the best thing you can do is simply roll with the punches.

If you've ever had a UTI, you'll know that there's no advice wiser than to always pee after sex. It might be tempting to just roll over and fall asleep, but you'll thank yourself later if you get up and pee before going to bed.

As with most things in life, slow and steady can win the race when it comes to sex, too. As this Redditor so wisely points out, it's better to start off slow and gentle and be asked for more than to start off too strong and be asked to slow down.

It might sound obvious AF to some people, but in order to get what you want in bed, you have to actually communicate that to your partner, even if it's as simple as saying 'a little more to the left.'. It might seem awkward at first, but practice makes perfect, and you should never feel embarrassed about communicating your sexual needs to your partner.

It should be an absolute no-brainer at this point, but unfortunately it still needs to be said: consent is so crucial to sex, and you should never feel like you "tricked" someone into bed.

With all this talk about sex, I feel like it's important to note that if you don't feel sexual attraction and/or identify as asexual, that's perfectly OK too. Don't let society tell you you're weird or wrong for not having sexual urges.

Aside from being able to communicate to your partner what does and doesn't feel good in bed, it's also important to feel comfortable openly discussing your kinks and fetishes with your partner. You shouldn't feel pressured to disclose all your private fantasies, but you should feel confident that you can express your kinks without judgment.

IMHO, this is one piece of sexual advice that all straight women should learn to live by: just because your male partner ejaculates does *not* mean that sex is "over."

You should never tolerate a selfish partner, regardless of their gender, and you should never feel like you aren't able to have an orgasm just because your partner finishes first.

Ultimately, the only real piece of sex advice you need is this: if you want to have an amazing sex life, it starts with feeling comfortable and confident with yourself in bed — after that, everything else is what you make of it.
