Hiatus can never be bad for anyone’s health. But have you ever heard of someone taking a break from sexual activities? If you have taken one, don’t worry; we have listed 5 tips for having sex again after a long hiatus.

1. Prioritise intimacy

If you have been taking a break from having sex, chances are, your body is not going to respond to sexual stimuli as quickly as before the hiatus.

There is nothing wrong with being unable to get hot real quick; your body isn’t a machine that gets programmed when exactly it should go off, right?

The first piece of advice for navigating around this concern is that you should focus more on intimacy when trying to get back to sex.

Don’t concentrate on how you are going to rock your partner. The thought would bring performance anxiety, which isn’t an ideal show after your sexual hiatus.

You should, instead focus on relaxation, according to a publication appearing on the Woman’s Day website.

Taking it easy helps you to overcome the anxiety associated with “getting back to the game.” You don’t even have to be perfect in executing your end of the bargain.

Rather than thinking that you should get down on the floor, get naked, and finish each other off like wild animals, it is better to focus on the emotional (and maybe even spiritual) bond that you share with your partner.

Kiss slowly and intimately. Just be comfortable on the sofa and have nice slow music playing in the background. This is just a time to connect one on one.

2. Spend longer on foreplay

Now that you are trying to familiarise yourself with sexual activities again, you need to prioritise foreplay.

Of course, this is such a general rule when it comes to pleasuring a woman, however, in this case, foreplay becomes even more crucial to your sexual satisfaction.

Most of the time, you may be afraid that since you have not been in action in a long time, you may not even get wet in time. Trust this as you read this, you should never put all of the burdens on only yourself.

If you can’t get wet, your partner is also partly to blame because they are not doing something right. So, the best way to navigate around this difficulty is to have longer foreplay.

After all, it is a given that the female body responds to sexual stimuli differently. Studies have shown that women need an average of 15-20 minutes of foreplay to get really ready for sex.

3. Try to erase thoughts of limitations

So now you are about to get back into the business. Best believe things need to change around here. So, instead of sticking to what has worked before, try to erase any thought on limitations—on what you can or can’t do.

And whatever reasons why you terminated the previous relationship shouldn’t act as an impediment to your present romantic situation. Get in it with an open mind.

Instead, think about what you want to accomplish in the budding intimacy. There is nothing wrong in taking it slow, according to an article on Everyday Health website.

Or even, what you should and shouldn’t do. Anything goes now. It’s a new exploration and you’re about to up your sex game. Get to trying new things—positions, toys even, flavoured condoms, what have you.

If it turns out there are certain things you don’t like, well that’s for later. Exploration is the name of the game.

However, just because you might want to be explorative, it doesn’t mean you should be a daredevil who possess no dignity whatsoever.

If there are certain things you won’t do out of principle, stick to that principle and don’t give in to temptations that don’t suit your personality.

4. Try to have a good time instead of focusing on performance

Maybe the reason you are feeling a bit nervous about getting into sex again is that you worry about performance.

Well you are making a return after a hiatus, your body needs to get familiar with how things work around here again, right?

So just be patient with yourself and you should tell your partner how you feel about doing sex for the first time again after a long break.

Your partner should be understanding and accommodating, then. If they aren’t, trust me, it’s not worth having sex with them. Leave! Jokes aside, let your partner take the lead this time and you can simply relax.

The point of sex is pleasure, right? Not performance. It’s not like you’re doing sports. For now, try to focus on just having a good time with your partner taking the lead.

You can promise yourself that once things get back to normal, you’ll treat them after.

5. Masturbate to get to know your body’s needs

Not having sex isn’t a mental or emotional issue. Some people prefer to remain celibate for one reason or another.

But having sex has its benefits, from bolstering the immune system to fighting depression, according to an article on the Medical News Today publication.

Before you let someone else touch your body, if you do feel a great sense of nervousness, you should touch yourself first.

Masturbating before intimacy resumption helps by reducing the stress and tension associated with the changes you anticipate from the new relationship.

If you are worried about not being able to enjoy or perform well when in the middle of sex, masturbate first. This can be a means of getting into the rhythm of getting aroused again.

Plus, this way you can check and recheck again what now works and what no longer works for you. After all, you could simply have changed after a long hiatus, right?

So, get alone and spend a good me time for just pleasuring yourself. Don’t think of this as some naughty activity. This is self-care and getting intimate with yourself. This is empowerment, okay?

If it helps, darken the light in your room, turn on the air conditioner, maybe light an aroma candle, and just get relaxed.

To conclude, taking a break from sex is not wrong, and it is entirely normal for couples and single people to take a long hiatus from sex. We are sure that these five tips can help people have amazing sex after taking a sex break.
