Fall Is The Sexiest Season and here’s why

The leaves are changing colors, it’s getting dark earlier, the air is starting to feel brisk, and it’s not in your head, everyone’s getting hornier. Well, maybe not everyone, but according to Business Insider, fall is the “season of sex,” and science can prove it. Having hot sex as autumn comes around is supposed to help fight seasonal depression, and researchers have found that both testosterone and estrogen levels go up during this time of year. So put down your hot apple cider because fall has a lot more to offer than just delicious warm beverages. While most people might think that summer is the sexiest season, spring is when romance blossoms and everyone goes loves the holiday season, fall can be an underrated time of year. When people do get excited about it, it’s usually all about Halloween, crunchy leaves, and sugary warm drinks. Those are all great reasons to love Autumn, but you’re missing out on why it’s truly the best season there is. Fall is the best season for sex and yes, it’s a hill I’m willing to die on! Think about it, Fall is a time of the year when the weather, the atmosphere, and your schedule typically allow not only for great sex but for a lot of it. So if you’re looking to try something new and exciting or you just want some time to catch up on an all-out pleasure fest, here are some reasons why fall is the perfect time of year for getting down, so you should take advantage and prioritize your most carnal pleasures.

Summer sex is actually the worst 

Let’s all stop pretending that summer is a sexy season! While you might think it’s all bikinis, sun, and cocktails, there is also sand in uncomfortable places, sunburns, and the burden of thigh chafing that no person should endure. And while this may be an unpopular opinion, summer sex is actually the absolute worst. Just think about it. During the summer, you’re hot and sweaty and unless you’re into sweat (we’re not kink-shaming here) it’s not what most people want to do. There are a few ways to stay cool like using a cooling balm or gel, or running glass or metal toys under cool water before using them. But those aren’t permanent solutions to the heat in the summer!

It’s Leather Weather

When it starts to get chilly and you reach for an animal hide (faux or no), you’re suddenly gifted a second skin that acts as the ultimate aphrodisiac. You can add sexy leather accessories like cuffs, impact toys, or even lingerie or harnesses to bring the leather into your bedroom. Cozying up together is usually shown as a perfect winter activity, but when you get cozy in winter, you won’t want to get uncozy. You’ll ultimately want to stay under all the cozy layers of blanket you just set up. The idea of getting naked together when it’s freezing outside is also not appealing. Fall is the ideal middle ground. It’s chilly enough that you want to get settled in and spend time together warming up together, but not so cold that you can’t imagine ripping each other’s clothes off and just going for it at any given time.

Warm Drinks Bring You Closer

Research says that when you’re holding a warm beverage it inspires people to feel warm feelings toward other people. So logically thinking the hotter your seasonal pumpkin spice latte is, the hotter you’ll feel for whoever’s coming your way. And kick it up a notch and bring the warmth into the bedroom with warming lube or a toy that warms up like the Zalo Temptation bullet or the Fantasy for Her Thrusting Silicone Rabbit.

Pumpkin is an aphrodisiac

Surprisingly, the smell of pumpkin combined with other odors can also trigger arousal. A 2014 study on men found the combined odor of lavender and pumpkin pie led to the highest increase in penile blood flow by 40 percent. There’s a direct pathway between the olfactory bulb and a pleasure center in the brain (the septal nucleus) that moderates sexual response. The odors could induce feelings of warmth and nostalgia, or males may have evolved to be sexually primed by food, and the harvest would have been a good time to find a mate and procreate.

Hormones are literally making you hornier

Hormone levels vary throughout the year, but fall is when they reach peak levels. American researchers and Munich expert Eberhard Nieschlag, working independently of each other discovered. Increased testosterone levels in men and women can help boost libido which helps folks want more sex. This is intentional; babies conceived in the fall are born in a season of light which makes it possible for their organism to start producing Vitamin D right away. That strengthens their bones and immune system.
