Sex: Lights On Or Off?<br />

Body positivity can be promoted: for some spouses<br />

the idea of being fully naked under a bright light can<br />

be a bit scary. Putting the lights on while getting<br />

intimate might initially seem incredibly intimidating if<br />

you are not sexually confident about your body. One<br />

percent of the Boost survey respondents said they<br />

felt less self-conscious in the dark. Despite the fact<br />

that you may have some hang ups about<br />

undressing without the lights off, the chances are<br />

that your significant other will deeply appreciate the<br />

preview or full show. It might surprise you that they<br />

won’t focus on the so-called ‘flaws’ you perceive<br />

your body to have. It’s a pity we rarely see ourselves<br />

as admiringly as <strong>others</strong> do.<br />

*Helps you admire the sight of your partner and<br />

vice versa: It is a well known fact that men are<br />

visual creatures when it comes to getting carnal.<br />

Many ladies also like to feast their eyes on their<br />

partners’ bodies in the bedroom. Of those surveyed<br />

who said they liked lights-on during liaisons, a<br />

quarter reported that it made things feel more<br />

exciting.<br />

*Light adds colour to create enabling atmosphere.<br />

“‘Chromo therapy’ is the art of using colour to<br />

create or enhance particular physical and emotional<br />

sensations – and using different hue of bulbs are a<br />

brilliant way of bringing it into the boudoir. Red light<br />

is said to boost desire and energy, while a blue bulb<br />

can be calming, encouraging relaxation and<br />

sensuality. Angling lights to cast sensual shadows<br />

on the walls and watching your silhouettes play<br />

together can be intensely erotic. It is also a good<br />

beginner’s introduction to observing yourself having<br />

sex if using mirrors seems too nerve-wracking.”<br />

*With the lights on, you are sure of staying awake<br />

after a long stressful day at work, making love is<br />

what most people do. “Switch the light out, and<br />

you’re more likely to pass out, without having gotten<br />

round to sharing a close moment together – and if<br />

this happens repeatedly over time, it can lead to<br />

resentment, dissatisfaction or sexual stagnation.<br />

Keeping the lights on can give you that extra burst<br />

of energy you need. And then afterwards, you’ll<br />

sleep deeper than an all-bass choir transported to<br />

the bottom of the ocean in a submarine whilst<br />

discussing philosophy. Deep.”<br />

*There is a level of mystery to having sex in the<br />

dark. It can create instant seduction, sultry mood,<br />

with Adesuwa 07011289316 | adesuwaewoigbokhan@hotmail.com<br />

can be hot and physically flattering for everyone<br />

involved, thereby giving couples a heightened sense<br />

of confidence. Whereas, shying away from the light<br />

can mean cheating yourself and your spouse out of<br />

a mind-blowing sack session.<br />

“It’s a myth that only men are visually oriented<br />

during sex,” says New York City sex therapist, Ian<br />

Kerner, Ph.D. and author of She Comes First. If you<br />

can’t see your partner, you’re missing out on a huge<br />

aspect of sensory stimulation, he says.<br />

“With lights on, you expose yourself more to your<br />

partner and create the opportunity to generate even<br />

greater trust, and get to know one another even<br />

better,” says Dana Weiser, Ph.D., an assistant<br />

professor of human development and family studies<br />

at Texas Tech University. It can be incredibly sexy,<br />

she adds, because you get to make eye contact and<br />

see your partner’s reactions to the pleasure you’re<br />

giving them.<br />

Hesitating about lighting it up in the bedroom, try<br />

easing into it by flipping the switch after foreplay,<br />

says Kerner. “As you get more aroused, your<br />

inhibitions are lower and you might be more open to<br />

letting in some light,” he says.<br />

It is cool, do it any time whereas the tough thing<br />

about only doing it in the dark is quite limiting, and<br />

you are aware it is fun to get down any moment you<br />

feel the mood is right. Having the lights on or doing it<br />

in daylight opens up a little different world of new<br />

sexy times of locations to explore.<br />

*With the lights on, you are sure of him not<br />

accidently putting It In your butt since that is not our<br />

idea of a fun surprise. For those that are into<br />

exercise, this is the time to show off the fruits of your<br />

gym labour. Your butt looks good in those yoga<br />

pants, it’s definitely going to look even better out of<br />

them.<br />

*It’s Basically Free Porn: Lights off sex are nice,<br />

but you can’t watch yourself do it in pitch black. This<br />

will give you the chance to know whether your guy<br />

is a squinter or a jaw-dropper plus the fact that you<br />

will like to witness the very moment when he<br />

climaxes. The same is applicable to your guy<br />

seeing your achieving orgasm too.<br />

*You Avoid Sex Injuries:This is especially helpful<br />

after a night of drinking. No one wants to make a<br />

post-coital trip to the hospital.<br />

Ensure to always keep your line of<br />

communication open as you get to work together to<br />

boost the physical intimacy in your relationship.<br />

Constantly check with each other where you are in<br />

your sex life. Continue to compromise with one<br />

another by maintaining a generous spirit, as you<br />

give and take on both sides.<br />

Be open and honest with each of your sexual<br />

desires. Gladly enjoy the journey and you can<br />

always seek a professional to help deconstruct<br />

limiting or unhealthy beliefs about intercourse in<br />

marriage. Don’t forget that the investment you put in<br />

your marital health and intimacy, are worth every bit<br />

of your time and effort. You will definitely reap the<br />

benefits for the rest of your lives.<br />

Make tonight a show time by making out with<br />

the lights on.<br />

Talk<br />

SPOT<br />

By - Rita Okoye<br />

What some of your favourite<br />

celebrities said and we listened.<br />

“Don’t trust everything you see<br />

on social media, even salt<br />

looks like sugar. Some people<br />

aren’t really all they “post” to<br />

be. So, live your life and be<br />

content with whatever it is you<br />

have and have achieved for<br />

yourself. Do not wish to be like<br />

anyone else. Secret of social<br />

media is; Packaging is<br />

EVERYTHING!”<br />

Juliet Ibrahim hammers<br />

on negativity of social<br />

media.<br />

“In the last 4 years I have<br />

been done done with the<br />

rat race of industry and<br />

unrealistic hype to show<br />

up. I quickly learned that<br />

sometimes, the glitz came<br />

no value and I craved<br />

more substance than what<br />

a repost on a blog could<br />

get me. Change is hard<br />

and this last season of<br />

transformation has been a<br />

blessing”.<br />

Zainab returns to Social<br />

media after a break.<br />

“My arms no longer have the strength<br />

to carry around narratives that do not<br />

belong to me. Who I was before and<br />

who I am now are two very different<br />

people, and I will not give life to older<br />

versions of me that you don’t<br />

recognize anymore to make you feel<br />

more comfortable”.<br />

Diane Russets’ note to all.<br />

“Hey sis, do not do wife<br />

duties for girlfriend prices.<br />

And in case you’re<br />

wondering, wife duties<br />

include; having a baby for a<br />

man. Living with a man<br />

you’re not married to. Being<br />

there for him when he is<br />

down. Cooking and doing<br />

chores for him. If you gave all<br />

that already, why would he<br />

be in a hurry? Why buy the<br />

cow when the milk is free?”<br />

Princess writes open<br />

letter to women.<br />
