Is It Ever Too Hot for Sex?

I have a friend who is from the southern U.S. and she loves the heat.  The idea that it’s ever too hot just doesn’t compute for her, and she is happiest on days when everyone else is miserable.  I’ve never asked her if she prefers sex when it's hot, but I know that she’s never said no to sex because of the heat (something I, and many other cold weather people like me, have done repeatedly).  As we head into the hottest part of summer I thought I would offer some thoughts for those of us who, unlike my friend, can’t stand the heat, but would still like to have sex sometime before December.  ~  Cory

READ NOW Making Water Wetter   I wouldn't exactly say that silicone lubes improve on nature since, a) I don't really know what we ever mean when we say nature, and b) I'm not sure it would actually be a good thing for water to be slippery.  Still, with the advent of silicone personal lubricants all sorts of sex play in, around, and under water got a lot slicker.  Whether it's a solo quickie in the shower or a lazy day by the lake, grab some silicone lube and watch the hot days slip by.
