The Coming of Spring
The Spanish saying that “La primavera la sangre altera”, literally “In Springtime blood flows differently”, is also a fact. Spring’s reputation for being the season of sex is no coincidence; whether you believe it or not, it is rooted in science. Springtime and love have long been intertwined due to flowers, walks in the park, romantic outings in a rowing boat, and picnics… but love was the label given to everything that essentially embodies sexual awakening, a gigantic yawn jolting the body out of tedious lethargy. Our hormones go crazy, and we turn into sex machines!
Hormones, hormones, and more hormones.
Spring triggers the release of oxytocin, dopamine, and noradrenaline. These wonderful hormones are what generate sexual attraction, in addition to putting us in a better mood and giving us an energy boost. Do you see those trees blossom? In the same way, they get their colours out for all to see; your body is flooded with hormones from top to bottom.
We move on to vitamins.
As daylight hours increase, we are exposed to more sunshine and, therefore, soak up more Vitamin D. This vitamin is fundamental for calcium absorption, but it also has another marvellous function. Men: Enjoy the exciting combination of testosterone and Vitamin D. According to the Medical University of Graz, Austria, men with higher Vitamin D levels have higher testosterone levels. And this is just the beginning: both hit their top levels in August.
Hotter days make for hotter nights!
The more power you have, the more pleasure you can enjoy. Adapting to the cold each year involves a brutal outlaying of energy. When we have all that energy to spare in warmer climes, it can be put to other uses. What springs to mind? Now that the temperature is less inhibiting, we’re torn between good mutual massage sessions and unrestrained sex that leaves you dripping with sweat.
Free that flesh
Above all, when you can stop being a human onion under all those layers and have just one layer of fabric covering your skin. A dash of perfume and a more open attitude gets you back in the flirting game. In Spring and Summer, people pull more, always have and always will. Been missing it? It’s warming up; get out there.
Feed the libido
Nourishment is essential for libido, and the foods that boost it abound in Spring. One example is strawberries, which are rich in Vitamin C. They stimulate the nervous system and endocrine glands, making you more receptive to sexual stimuli. Yummy!
Swing in Spring
In Springtime, as we’ve already said, all that extra light and energy gives us the get-up-and-go we need to enjoy a healthy and active life. This additional exercise leads directly to a positive spiral of physical energy, lifted spirits, libido and general well-being. How will you not want sex if you feel like a goddess?!
Sex Not Stress
Well-being generates more well-being. The abundance of endorphins and serotonin reduces stress, makes everything relax, and flows and enhances sexual response. Are we sure we love the Spring? Yep, we’re sure.
