Festival season has started and you’ve already had a few beers. You meet someone you like and before you know it, you’re in bed together. Drunk sex can be fun, but it can also be a bit tricky to keep things running smoothly.

That's why we have 13 golden tips for you to get through the evening and the morning after without any problems!

1. Don't be too confident

If you’ve had a few drinks, you may feel a lot more confident than usual. But be careful not to get overconfident and bite off more than you can chew. Make sure you’re still listening to your body and the signals it’s giving you. It’s better to take it slow and enjoy the moment than to take too many risks and regret your choices later.

2. Use protection

It is very important to practice safe sex, especially if you have had a few drinks. It can be tempting to let yourself go and take over the moment, but remember that unprotected sex can have serious consequences. Always carry and use condoms ! This will not only protect you, but also your partner from unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Remember that it is always better to be safe than sorry. “Better be safe than sorry”.

3. Take your time

It’s important to take your time during drunk sex. You may feel rushed or aroused by the situation, but remember that it’s important to enjoy the moment. Giving yourself time to warm up and explore your body can make the experience even better.

Try to focus on your feelings and sensations and don't get distracted by thoughts of what else you want to do. Staying in the moment can make the experience more intense and your lovemaking more satisfying. Remember that there is no rush and you can stop at any time if you feel more comfortable doing so.

4. Keep it simple and skip the acrobatics

When you’ve had a few drinks, it can be tempting to surprise yourself and your partner with elaborate positions and acrobatic tricks. But let’s be honest: how well can you balance on one leg when you’re half-drunk? Or how flexible are you after six beers? The answer is probably not as good as you’d like.

That’s why it’s better to keep it simple during drunk sex. Go for positions that you know you like and feel comfortable in. Leave the acrobatics aside and focus on enjoying the moment. Your partner will be glad you didn’t step on his or her toes or cause an accident by slipping on a stray bottle of wine. Keep it simple and safe, and little can go wrong.

5. Pack some snacks – because hungry sex isn't sexy

You know how it is: you've just had a few drinks and suddenly you're really hungry. But wait... you're in the middle of making out! There's nothing worse than a growling stomach and empty energy reserves during a steamy session between the sheets.

That's why it's important to have some snacks ready before, during and after sex. The last thing you want is to reach a delicious climax and then have to get up and go to the kitchen to eat something.

Therefore, make sure you have some snacks on hand beforehand, such as some fruit, nuts or an energy bar. This can help you make the session last longer and ensure that you still have some energy afterwards to enjoy the moment. Just remember to keep it tidy and don't leave any crumbs in bed, unless you plan on eating them... Wait, what? Well, it's your party.

6. A glass of water works wonders

Alcohol can dehydrate you, and if there's one thing you don't want during drunken sex, it's a dry, thirsty mouth (or lips… get it?).

Make sure you drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and prevent your body from turning into a dehydrated cactus. And let's face it, it's not a good idea to be naked with something that looks like a desert between your legs anyway. So drink plenty of water before, during and after sex.

This can also help prevent a hangover and keep you from feeling like a dehydrated turtle the next morning. If you like, you can also opt to drink some electrolyte drinks to take your hydration to the next level. Be careful though, if you drink too much water, you might end up having to go to the bathroom more often than you go to bed... and that can spoil the romance a little.

7. Respect each other and avoid awkward situations

When you've had a few drinks, it can sometimes be difficult to recognize and respect your and your partner's boundaries. It is therefore important to communicate well and respect each other.

Make sure you talk about what you want and don't want beforehand and that you understand each other well. Respect each other's boundaries and make sure you don't make drunken decisions that you'll regret later. Because let's face it, no one wants to wake up next to someone you don't really know that well and aren't even sure how you got there.

Therefore, make sure you respect each other and don't overstep each other's boundaries. This can help prevent awkward situations and ensure that you both can enjoy the evening without regrets later. And if you're still not sure, just ask: "Can I have this dance, or is it too drunk for words?"

8. Drink smart

When you go out and meet a nice man or woman, it is tempting to let yourself go completely. But be warned, drinking too much can not only ruin your chances of success, it can also have a negative effect on the quality of your night. It is therefore important to drink smart and not drink more than you can handle.

Think about it, what’s worse than trying to flirt while you’re standing in front of someone, staggering like a drunken duck? It can also lead to an awkward and embarrassing situation if you drink too much and can’t control yourself. So here are some tips to keep in mind so you don’t get too drunk on a night out: start slowly, drink in moderation, alternate with water, eat something before you drink, and take breaks.

9. Don't smoke right before sex

After a few drinks, you’re more likely to light up. If you’re coming home drunk with someone you want to sleep with, it might be tempting to drink a glass of water and light up. But the combination of sitting and nicotine can be a bad combination. You can feel dizzy or nauseous, and trust us, that strong smell won’t make your partner happy either. So save that cigarette for after the act and enjoy fresh breath while sharing the sheets.

10. Be careful when taking breaks

Normally, some variation with short breaks between lovemaking is nice. But when you are drunk, this is not the case. After all, there is a greater chance that your penis will go soft or that you will suddenly fall asleep. Make sure that you have a nice pace that you can keep up with. You will probably have forgotten this tip long before the moment comes, but it is still important. Maybe you should print this article out and hang it above your bed? 😉 Because when it comes to sex, it is better not to take risks and make sure everything goes smoothly.

11. Take good care of each other

Of course we mean that in the sexual area. But also in the area of ​​make-sure-you-don't-pass-out! Sex can be just as tiring as exercise. And going to the gym drunk? We'd rather not do that to ourselves. If you're not feeling well or if your bed partner has no energy left, don't blame the other person. Blame the alcohol.

Try to stay awake until you sober up and make sure you lie on your side so that if you do throw up, you don't risk choking! Because no one wants to end up looking like a scene from The Exorcist. So take good care of each other so that you wake up fresh and fruity the next day.

12. Don't expect too much

A one-night stand often sounds more romantic than it actually is. It often involves drunken sex or a desperate Tinder date. In both cases, the sex is often anything but incredible. So don't expect passion, fireworks and the best sex ever, not even from yourself! Especially not when you're drunk. But hey, it can still be fun.

Perhaps the best part is the story you can tell your friends afterwards. And who knows, it might be a story that will make you laugh years later. So go for it, but be realistic. After all, it's about the experience, not the expectations.

13. Enjoy!

The most important thing is to enjoy the experience. Drunk sex can be a lot of fun, so make the most of it and enjoy the moments together.

So, there you have it! 13 golden tips to survive drunk sex. Remember these tips and enjoy the festival season!
