When it comes to your own body, you need to have the freedom to say what you like and what you don't like, to set boundaries, and to share desires. Many women believe that sex in the dark has nothing to do with one's physical appearance, but rather with romance and the courage to experiment.

Is that the case? A thorough investigation of the "sex in the dark or light" dilemma shows that sex in the dark is more about the complexes of the people involved than the romance, and sex on the light is much more beneficial for the couple's sex life!

Sex in the dark

Many women believe that a game like sex in the book is guaranteed more by the romance of the dark than by the light that can strike you in the eye or can disfavor certain parts of the body. Or, some of you may not be able to bear to see your partner's face twist as if he is going through torment, when in fact you are expecting an expression of pure pleasure.

In addition, moments of total darkness can activate even the most "crazy" fantasies, which if applied in the light, would make you feel a little embarrassed.

Maybe you're one of those women who is "afraid" of the light when they make love, for fear that their partner sees them, inch by inch, and that could make them dislike him so much. Well, find out that your partner is even more excited if you reveal everything to him and let him explore! The downside is only in your mind!

And something else! During a sex party, your partner is involved in giving you and giving you pleasure! The state of excitement he feels and the involvement he shows really "doesn't help" him to observe in detail any physical defect of yours, real or that you just imagine.

After all, think about yourself! As you make love, what do you focus on? Do you keep an eye on your boyfriend's flaws or do you rather try to make it as successful as possible from that moment on?

Sex on the light

Whether it is practiced in the evening - with the light on, dim lights, candles, or in the morning, sex on the light has quite a few partisans! Well done!

What do women who have more sex think about light? As if extinguishing the light, I also extinguish part of the beauty of mutual discovery. How else to know the body of the one next to you, if not by touch, caress…

And if you want to be romantic, you can use diffused lights: enough light to see you but not enough to blind you or make you think you are in a public place in the middle of the day. Certainly diffused lights give a note of warmth, mystery, and complicity.

And yet, why do so many women prefer sex in the dark?

Well, not necessarily because they want their sex life to be full of romance, but especially because they feel insecure, complex or unfortunately, that's how they got used to it.

It is easy to understand that insecurity and complexes should not take place in an open, fun, and relaxing couple relationship. So, if you are one of the women who prefer sex in the dark, you should reflect on the exciting role that light can play in your married life.

5 tips to get rid of inhibitions in the bedroom

Discover the pleasure of sex in the light too! You have 5 tips that will help you forget about the negativity you created yourself. You're him and he wants you, so what's the point of thinking about trifles?

1. Forget the complex!

There are 2 situations: either you have some well-founded grievances related to your physical appearance (cellulite, stretch marks, small breasts, etc.), or everything is in your mind and you have no real reason to worry.

Even if you have really small physical defects, you have to learn to respect and love yourself as you are, otherwise, even the one next to you will not do it. Repeating to him that you can't stand the light or that you don't want to undress completely because … he will come to believe just like you, even though until then he didn't think so.

Don't focus on small flaws, but rather on trumps, which you have! It never occurs to you to compare yourself with the models in magazines, whose shapes are retouched with special programs.

You are beautiful in your way, and your partner certainly has dozens of reasons why he chose you out of thousands of women.

And in the end, if your defects are annoying, resort to effective solutions: healthy eating, sports, massage, body treatments …

Find out that a man who loves his partner and wants her has no eyes for her little flaws, but for the way she makes him feel!

2. Get the right light!

You can cover the bulb of a lamp with a special object made of heat-resistant material. Thus, the light will pass through that object very little, and the room will be surrounded by a faint, pleasant light.

Depending on the color of the object that covers the bulb, the camera will also be slightly colored.

How can you get diffused light? With the help of a light switch that can be adjusted to the minimum intensity or with a small lamp that you can place behind the curtain.

Also, you can direct the lamp only to a certain point in the room, so that the rest of the room, including you, will remain in pleasant, intimate darkness.

Be careful, though! Don't choose fluorescent light! Most fluorescent bulbs contain mercury, a toxic element that you don't want in your bedroom! In addition, even if you don't realize it at the moment, fluorescent light tires your eyes and causes migraines.

3. Forget past experiences!

Indeed, past sexual experiences can affect current perceptions of sex. But are you to blame? Are you entitled to feel that way? Often, it is just a mismatch between the two partners.

You are suitable, but not for the one you were with before, but for another, maybe even the one you are with now, so it is worth all your effort!

It is even expected to feel insecure, novice, or reluctant to have sex, if your ex-partner liked to be the boss in everyday life, but especially in bed. Not all men are the same, and happiness and fulfillment depend on your power to get over it and pursue your interest: a successful married life!

What is natural to you may not be what you've been through before, but that doesn't mean you can't be the perfect girlfriend for someone else. So, don't let unpleasant memories affect your present!

If, however, you are afraid that you will not live up to the expectations of your current partner, even though (be it between us) you have no way of knowing exactly who they are, talk to him openly!

Tell him that you are not used to him at the moment in intimate moments and that it would be better if he indicated to you, in one way or another, what he likes, so that you can give him maximum pleasure.

4. Rely on candles and rose petals!

A special, fine, and romantic method to light the room easily is to decorate it with a few candles or not just a few, but as many as you like.

Or you can put a small candle in an aromatherapy bowl and shoot 2 rabbits in one go: a little light and delight of the senses … especially olfactory! In the bathroom, he puts rose petals in the water and candles on the edge of the tub.

In addition, the slow flickering light and the play of light on the wall will create a warm and relaxing atmosphere.

5. Take care of what you want …

… because it could happen! Or … why are you afraid, that's why you can't escape!

This is exactly what could happen to you if your imagination and pessimism are stronger in your case than in reality! If you repeatedly tell yourself that you will not succeed, that you will stumble, that you will not be good, you will certainly do so, because you are too convinced that what you are saying is the reality!

Nervousness and shyness are unfounded before a romantic evening, especially if you have been in a relationship for some time with your partner. Talk to him and tell him you have some fears, and he will surely reassure you and help you not to feel embarrassed. 

On the other hand, if he seems rather confused and slightly annoyed by what you say to him, then it means that it is not a great idea to share the bed with him!

The conclusion?

Above all, sex depends on the preferences of each of you. Some couples love to make love when the room is dim or fully lit, while others find it much more romantic and exciting when the light is off. None of the options are wrong.

Since sexual intercourse is extremely personal, no one has the right to say exactly how things should be.
