For the sake of your emotional wellness and wellbeing, it’s a great idea to get in tune with yourself as a sexual being. All kinds of women can look and feel sexy – it’s not simply a case of having the perfect body or all the right moves in the bedroom. There are a few key things to bear in mind if you want to look sexy naked.
First of all, looking sex is firmly rooted in feeling sexy. Confidence, lifestyle tricks and exercise are all great ways of boosting your ego, which will lead to you feeling sexier. There are no products, pills or equipment required for this – it really is very simple.
It may seem like having the perfect body is the answer to looking good naked, but really confidence is the best asset that you could possibly have. If you want to look sexy, start to feel sexy. Own the room. Make eye contact with your partner to draw their attention to your face. It may sound unrealistic but if you ooze confidence and sex appeal on the inside it really does show on the outside.
On the flip side of this, even a perfect body can look less attractive if you are not confident on the inside. If you have dull eyes and hunched shoulders then you make a great body look far less attractive. Start by improving your posture – put your head up, your chin up, your shoulders down and tuck your belly in. Keep a smile on your face and keep eye contact with the person you are speaking to.
Now add some exercise in, and your confidence will soar, both from the improvements to your body and the endorphins that pump through you when you take physical exercise.

It’s highly likely by the time you reach adulthood and serious relationships that you will have, at some point, experienced the kind of easy intimacy you have with a friend or partner – when conversations are easy and you can trust the person entirely. But not every relationships begins with such a deep connection, and it can be difficult to build a relationship when that level of intimacy isn’t present straight away. Relationships require a lot of work and they aren’t always something you fall into. Whether you’re looking to reconnect with someone you’re already in a relationship with, or are beginning a new partnership with someone and want to create a trusting and close bond, these steps can help you on your way to a loving and nurturing relationship.
One of the first things you need to remember is that being present with your partner is something heavily undervalued in today’s society. Thanks to the invention of the smart phone, we can be connected to numerous people at any one time – but are we always connected to the people we’re actually with? It may seem like no big deal to be on your phone when you’re with your partner, but when you’re multitasking, you’re not focusing on any one activity overly well, which means your relationship could be at risk. It can be emotionally stifling to feel as though you’re less important than other things your partner is doing, so make time to be there for them and fully engaged in the conversation.
On that note, intimacy is created through really seeing your partner for who they are, and that can sometimes be physically as well. Eye contact is really important and can help show that you’re being interested, attentive and caring towards your partner and what they have to say. Eye contact is a key component in how we socialise with other people and one of the most important elements in creating an intimate relationship. It’s a non-verbal, subtle yet easy way of showing that you’re being vulnerable and trusting of your partner. It shows emotional openness and increases our sense of understanding both in and of your partner. You should also be physically open with your partner – physical affection not only feels good but also triggers our bodies to produce oxytocin, which is known as the love hormone. This feel-good effect we have when oxytocin is produced helps to promote a monogamous and romantic relationship. But physical affection isn’t just about sex – it can also be holding hands, cuddling or kissing.
Oxytocin also increases the levels of a certain neuropeptide, a molecule in the brain which regulates memory, rewards and learning, called arginine vasopressin (AVP. This facilitates bonding with your partner, and both of these substances increase intimacy. Lastly, simply listening can help to increase intimacy – often overlooked but hugely important. Being emotionally, mentally or physically intimate with your partner begins with you listening to what they have to say. It may sound simple, but think how undervalued you would feel if your partner ignored you and never listened to your thoughts and opinions. It’s easy to become stressed by work and preoccupied by other things in your life, but take the time to sit down with your partner regularly and listen to each other. Be silent, don’t spend the whole time thinking about what you want to say next, and begin creating and honest and open relationship with your partner.
If you’re an avid biking enthusiast, you’ve probably read many articles about bike safety that cover the basics, like wearing a helmet and the pre-ride safety checklist. It’s easy to be lulled into thinking that wearing a helmet is the most important thing you can do, and that once it’s on, you’re automatically safe. Yet, this sense of security fails to take into account the vehicles you share the road with. As you head out on your bike this spring, make sure you are taking precautions not to get hit by a vehicle.
Crashes at Controlled Intersections
A crash at a controlled intersection, such as a parking lot or a road with a stop sign, is the most common type of bicyclist/motorist crash. These crashes occur because the motorist doesn’t see the bike before pulling out into the intersection.
This crash can occur when the cyclist pulls out in front of a car before it turns or when the cyclist cannot stop and slams into the side of the car. Either way, the results are serious. To avoid this type of collision, try these tips:
- Wave at the driver – It might feel a little silly but waving at the driver can get his attention and help you know for sure that he saw you.
- Make eye contact – If you’ve made eye contact, then you know the driver sees you. If you can’t make eye contact, then slow down so you can stop if you have to. Without that eye contact, you have no guarantee that the driver saw you.
- Use a headlight at night – A headlight at night, especially a bright LED headlight, will grab the attention of any drivers sharing the road with you.
- Ride away from the curb – Riding near the cub seems safe, but when you near an intersection, this position can actually put you out of the line of sight. Also, it puts you closer to any oncoming vehicles. Moving a bit away from the curb can give drivers more of a chance of spotting you, while also giving them more time to stop.
Remember, to avoid this crash, you need to get the motorist to see you. So take precautions to improve your visibility, and you’ll be in better shape.
Collision in a Crosswalk
When you ride on a sidewalk and need to cross the street, you’ll likely do so at a crosswalk. However, if a car makes a turn at that intersection, it will slam into you. Drivers don’t expect bikes to be in the crosswalk, so they aren’t going to be on the lookout for them. Here’s what to do to avoid this collision:
- Ride on the street – Riding on the sidewalk may seem safer, but in reality it’s not. In fact, it could be as much as twice as dangerous as riding on the road. Cars may be more aware of you if you are riding on the street.
- Slow your speed – If you are riding slow enough that you can stop, you may be able to avoid a collision.
- Improve your visibility – Can drivers see you? Improve your visibility with bright clothing, headlights and reflectors, particularly if riding at night.
Sometimes riding on the sidewalk makes sense, but always use caution when crossing the street. Have the attitude that the driver doesn’t see you so you will be prepared for any behavior that occurs.
Hit While Driving Against Traffic
Driving against traffic sometimes seems logical. After all, the oncoming drivers will see you coming and therefore will not hit you. There’s one problem with this strategy, though, and that is intersections.
When a driver is turning right, he is going to look in the direction of the oncoming traffic, not necessarily the direction he’s turning. When he turns and you are in the intersection, you’re hit. This makes this strategy three times as dangerous as riding with traffic. Avoiding this collision is simple: ride in the same direction as traffic.
Getting Hit by a Door
If you are riding along a road with parked cars on the curb, you can collide with a suddenly-opened door quickly. While this might sound like something humorous, it’s actually quite serious. In fact, if you’re traveling fast enough, it can kill you.
In order to avoid this collision, don’t ride too closely to parked cars. Ride farther out to the left, even though that puts you into traffic a bit. Remember, drivers behind you can easily see you, so you’re more likely to run into a door than you are to get hit from the rear.
Red Light Collisions
Stopping at a red light seems like it would be a safe thing, but it’s actually the recipe for a crash. If you are to the right of a car, you’re probably in the car’s blind spot. When the car starts moving, you are at risk. If the car turns right, you’ll almost definitely get hit. Here’s what to do to avoid this situation.
- Stop behind the car. – The easiest way to avoid this problem is to avoid the car’s blind spot. Stop behind the car, rather than in front of it, and the driver won’t inadvertently hit you.
- Don’t pass at lights. – If you are getting a faster start at a light, don’t give in to the temptation to pass. Stay in your position to avoid a disaster until you are out of the intersection.
- Always assume the car will be turning. – Don’t assume that a car isn’t going to turn right just because it isn’t signaling. Cars can turn at any point, and they often don’t signal, especially at lights.
Always assume the car doesn’t see you. Be proactive and position yourself for maximum visibility to avoid a collision.
Bicycle/vehicle collisions often have devastating consequences, even when helmets are worn. As you hit the streets this summer, do what you can to avoid these collisions, and you can avoid potential tragedy. If you are injured in a crash with a vehicle, seek legal help to see if you are due compensation.
