Is it Really Possible to Have Crazy Olympic Sex?

Cosmopolitan magazine recently published a tie in article, celebrating sexual wellness and wellbeing in conjunction with the Winter Games. Every month, the magazine publishes a page of sex tips, and this month they were all themed around the Olympic theme. Unfortunately, much like the Olympics themselves, they were all positions that only elite athletes should try. To a casual observer, they are shockingly harrowing!

 

Some think that this Winter Olympics special is far fetched and others think it is amazing, but whatever your point of view, you can’t deny the fact that the sex Olympics special has caused a lot of attention. It is also commendable that Cosmo has become more self aware about their crazy (and much ridiculed) sex tips. It seems that they have decided to ‘own’ this reputation and wear it as a badge of honour. The Winter Olympics special is both hilarious and impractical, with such positions as the ‘Long Pole’, ‘Bawdy Bobsled’ and even ‘Husky Style’. Not to mention all the little accompanying drawings of little people wearing helmets, scarves, goggles and even figure skating uniforms whilst fully engaged in the act of coitus.

 

The Heavenly Spiral has got to be one of the most terrifying sounding and complicated sexual positions we have ever seen. It looks like the kind of thing that could only work if the woman is about five foot tall and the man is about seven foot tall!

 

For this position, the magazines advises the reader to have the man enter from behind, while he holds your legs at his sides. The woman should then also reach down and stroke her own clitoris. Other positions also encourage twisting, bending, kneeling, and being upside down. The drawings of people wearing helmets during sex are absolutely hilarious, too.

How to Use the Kama Sutra For Sexual Inspiration

What do you get when you cross the Kama Sutra with the Olympics? The sexual experience of your lifetime! Try these amazing sex positions and boost your wellness and wellbeing.

 

To have sex like a swimmer, lie flat on your stomach, legs apart, and put your arms up above your head like you are doing a butterfly stroke. Have your partner lie on top of you, entering you from behind. This gives great access to the g-spot and c-spot, and you can alter your legs, bringing your feet closer together for a tighter fit.

 

For a more gymnastic approach, lie on your back and bend your knees up towards your head. If you’re feeling super flexible, you can straighten your legs and then bring them behind you so that your toes touch down onto the floor, using your hands to support your back. Then your partner kneels and enters you, allowing for very intense and deep penetration. Your partner can hold onto your hips for extra stability.

 

If wrestling is more your style, lie down on your side and have your partner do the same, facing one another. Scissor your legs through his for some intimate, up-close action. You can then grind against his pelvis, making slow circular motions with your hips until you reach orgasm.

 

For an equestrian-inspired sex session, try a twist on the missionary position. Put your right leg over your partner’s right shoulder while he is entering you in the traditional way, and put your other leg down on the mattress. Switch legs when you want to change the sensation. The best thing about this position is that your partner’s hands are free to roam all over your body.

 

Trying all of these positions will make a fun little sex-Olympics in your own bedroom.

Sex and Sport: Does Abstinence Improve Your Performance?

You may have heard that top athletes avoid sex before a big event, so as to keep their fitness and wellness levels to an absolute maximum, but is there any science to support this? How does your sexual health really affect other aspects of your wellbeing?

 

At the London 2012 Olympics, there was more than 150,000 condoms handed out to the 10,500 athletes, as London Mayor Boris Johnson noted he wanted the Olympics to “inspire a generation” not “create a generation”. However, even if the modern day Olympiads were getting down to it before race day, that’s not how it’s always been. Boxing legend Muhammad Ali supposedly practised abstinence in the six weeks leading up to a big fight, and the England football team was reportedly banned from sex during the 1998 World Cup. Then you have American Marty Liquori, the world’s top 5000-metre runner four decades ago, who was famous for says, ‘Sex makes you happy. Happy people don’t run a 3:47 mile.’ So does that mean Mo Farah could have edged a few seconds off his time? Not according to the evidence.

 

Ian Shrier, a professor in the department of family medicine at McGill University in Canada, comments, ‘When we test people in the lab, we are examining “tests of performance” but in competition, psychology very likely plays a much more important role. Those who claim it decreases performance usually say it is because it decreases focus or aggression or tension. There are no studies that have examined this.’

 

Martin Milton, an expert in psycho-therapeutic and counseling psychology at the University of Surrey, notes that the effect of sex really comes down to who you are, how often you’re having sex, for how long and in what way. ‘If it’s “up all night swinging from the rafters” type sex we’re talking about, then obviously the athlete is not going to be getting enough sleep or rest and their mind isn’t on the job,’ says Milton. ‘So that might well be more the issue than whether or not being involved in a short period of sex might be detrimental to someone’s performance.’

Lack of Legacy: Olympics Fail to Get Us Exercising

With the Olympic and Paralympic games but a year behind us, you’d think we’d still have the proverbial torch burning bright. After seeing the nation’s best athletes storm to victory, surely we’re all still tying up our running shoe laces and breaking out the badminton rackets? Not according to a new study, as researchers from the University of Bristol have found that most adults in England are risking their well-being by failing to get enough exercise. Tam Fry, spokesman for the National Obesity Forum and honorary chairman of the Child Growth Foundation, commented that “No-one should be at all surprised by these woeful statistics,” and blamed the government for failing to make the London 2012 Olympics inspiring enough for getting us to participate in grassroots sport.

 

The government target that fitness and wellness involves taking moderate exercise at least 12 times in a four-week period. However, when the researchers analysed exercise data for more than a million adults in England, they found that 80% have failed to meet this target. Those who were poorer and least educated were more likely to be in this group, while better-off and better-educated adults were most likely to exercise. The perhaps most concerning finding was that approximately 8% of adults who were physically able to walk had not walked for even five minutes continuously during a four-week period, while 46% had not walked for leisure for more than 30 minutes continuously. In terms of other activities, 90% of those studied had not been to the gym and 88% had not been swimming.

 

The study researchers noted that those with no qualifications were three times as likely to not exercise, while people with a degree only had a 12% chance of being inactive, and those with higher socioeconomic status also got plenty of exercise. Therefore, the study results indicate a correlation between your education, household income and local area deprivation and your level of physical activity. According to Carol Propper, professor of economics at the university’s Centre for Market and Public Organisation, “Physical inactivity is the most important modifiable health behaviour for chronic disease, so knowing who is physically inactive is important for designing cost-effective policy interventions.” She added that “financial as well as cultural barriers need to be overcome to reduce the prevalence of physical inactivity”.
