12 Hacks For A Mind-Blowing Sex Life

12. Put Your Socks On

Despite being considered one of the cardinal sins of sex, gettin' it on with your socks on could be the key to an out of this world sex life.

Studies have shown that women are much more likely to achieve orgasm whilst wearing socks. A group of participants were told to have sex both with and without socks on and, whilst only 50% reported orgasm when barefootin' it, 80% of the same group of people then reported reaching orgasm when wearing the socks.

It is thought that having snuggly tootsies has an effect on the brain that promotes a feeling of comfort, warmth and security. This reduces stress levels and means that everyone can focus on the task in hand. These, it turns out, are the perfect conditions for the Big O (who knew).

Everybody knows that the best orgasms happen when everybody is relaxed, happy and uninhibited. Apart from anything else, if both (or all, *winky face*) parties are wearing a big old pair of Christmas socks, it's very difficult to take yourself too seriously ... and if there's anything that can ruin good sex, it's taking yourself too seriously. No one wants to look up in the throes of passion to see you checking your power stance in the mirror.
