Having sex outdoors may not be your idea of good sexual health and hygiene, but getting fresh while you’re getting fresh air can work wonders for your wellness. Sure, it doesn’t always work as well in real life as it does in the movies (think sand, sticks, insects), and not-so legal (not that we’re advocating doing anything illegal, of course) but, if you were to get the urge, there are benefits that outdoor sex can have to your wellbeing. Sexual anthropologist Dr Bella Ellwood-Clayton asserts, ‘Sex can become monotonous, particularly in long-term relationships. To induce fever into your sex life, get out of the bedroom. Even if you only make it as far as the living room floor, changing the routine makes you more sexually alert.’


 


That said, try not to get caught, especially by the police. Tracey Cox, author of Superhotsex, notes, ‘Anyone who’s ever had sex outside knows how hot it can be. Just be sensible and you’ll stay out of jail. Assess each situation carefully, stay fully clothed and use props to hide behind, such as a beach umbrella, sarong or picnic blanket.’ And if you’re on holiday, find out the country’s laws about “public relations” as some can be quite strict. Dr Ellwood-Clayton warns, ‘If you’re not aware of the country’s laws and customs, it’s dangerous to engage in behaviour some cultures may consider taboo. My advice? Confine outdoor sex to home soil.’ So, where are the best places to get busy back in Blighty?


 


1. Party in the Park: Very late in the day, head to the park and find a picnic table. Then, lay on the table while your partner stands in front, and wrap your legs around his waist. According to Tracey Cox, ‘It’s ideal because you’re facing one way, he’s facing the other way, so you can keep watch in both directions.’ Moreover, this position provides perfect stimulation for the A spot, or the smooth, highly sensitive area halfway between your G-spot and cervix.


 


2. Against a Wall or Tree: With your legs around his hips, wriggle up a large tree trunk or wall, pushing your back firmly against it for support. If you need to, put your arms around his neck and one foot on the ground. For this position, you need to be quick, which is why Jo-Anne Baker, founder of Pleasure Spot, advises using a strap-on butterfly-shaped vibrator to speed up your orgasm. She explains, ‘Obviously, it takes away from the spontaneity, but it’ll rev you up beforehand,’ and it can be easily worn under your clothes.


 


3. Getting Wet: As your partner sits on the edge of the spa or pool (by the steps), straddle him with your bikini bottoms pulled to the side. That way, you can pretend you’re cuddling or separate in seconds if anyone walks by. Baker directs, ‘Penetration should happen above the water, before you both submerge. This should avoid water used by others getting into the vagina, which could cause an infection.’ If you need to use lube, make sure it’s silicone-based so that it doesn’t wash away.


 


4. In the Car: Find a secluded spot to park up, and get your partner to scramble onto the backseat first. Emily Dubberley, author of Sex for Busy People, instructs, ‘Facing away from him, sit on his lap with your knees either side of his thighs and clutch the seats in front of you while you bounce up and down. This position lets you control the depth and speed of the thrusts.’ Dr Ellwood-Clayton points out, ‘The back seat is a great option for alfresco novices.’

According to the research in which data regarding car accidents was analyzed, for every death caused as the result of an automobile accident, 18 people are hospitalized and nearly 400 individuals sustain injuries that require outpatient medical treatment. In other words, the number of people injured as the result of automobile accidents is significant. Four common injuries are associated with car accidents: neck injury, back injury, knee injury and brain trauma.


 


When many of these types of injuries are identified in a person involved in a car accident, professional intervention, treatment and therapy from medical providers and rehabilitation specialists like those on the staff of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centers of Ontario many times play an integral part in a person’s overall recovery.


 


Neck Injury


The term whiplash commonly is associated with a car accident — and for good reason. Oftentimes, a car accident causes a driver and passengers alike to experience a sharp or abrupt backward and forward jerking of the head.


 


Neck related injuries associated with a car accident do not necessarily appear at the time of an accident. Indeed, many people have no idea that they have sustained a neck injury after being involved in an a car accident for 24 or more hours after the incident.


 


The severity of neck injuries associated with a car accident vary. For example, a person may experience only a minor, temporary neck injury because of a car accident. On the other hand, other individuals experience debilitating and even life threatening neck injuries after involvement in a car collision. It is a good idea to seek professional advice from a physiotherapy clinic in Ontario as soon as possible after the accident


 


Back Injury


Back injury represents another of the more common types of injuries sustained by a person involved in an automobile accident. As is the case with neck injury, oftentimes a person does not realize that he or she sustained a back injury until a day or more passes from the time of the accident.


 


Car accident related back injuries many times prove to cause chronic problems for people involved in these types of collisions. For example, many individuals experience ongoing pain and impairment of movement because of a back injury arising from a car accident.


 


Knee Injury


Because of the construction of the typical motor vehicle, and the nature of most types of car accidents, knee injuries represent yet another type of commonly experienced injury associated with automobile collisions. These include everything from sprains and strains to broken bones associated with the knee. Although a knee injury typically is more readily evident following a car collision, in some cases a knee injury actually does not become apparent until a day or so elapses following a car accident.


 


Brain Trauma


Sadly, a considerable number of people involved in car accidents each year experience some degree of brain trauma. The extent of such an injury varies significantly, resulting in everything from more minor and temporary impairment to a profound and permanent disability.

Anybody who has ever run a car – or at least anyone who has done it well – knows the importance of keeping the car tuned up to perfection and getting regular maintenance work. Diligently you’ll take the car to the garage like clockwork every 5,000 miles and have all the basics checked to ensure that things are still running smoothly. This is the best way to know that your car is safe, working correctly and remains a constant in your life. But while this is clearly good practice for your car, it is not necessarily a good idea to apply these rules to your sex life.


 


For your girlfriend or wife, doing the same thing over and over again and being stuck in a car maintenance style routine is a very bad thing when it comes to sex. What’s good for your car often is not a good principal to apply to your sex, so it is worth changing things up in order to keep everyone happy and ensure that everything still goes well. Indeed, too many men treat sex like an oil change, so here are some signs that you may be doing that, and therefore would need to change things up.


 


You have sex on a schedule


Having sex on a regular schedule is exactly like the way you might go in for an oil change after a certain number of miles have ticked over. Perhaps you only have sex on Fridays or you only sex right before bed – it doesn’t matter, the problem is the monotony. While consistency is a good thing for your car, it is actually a very bad thing for your sex life and can lead to a number of problems that would really not be ideal. So break out of this rut and do something spontaneous, there are so many different options with sex that there is no need to fall into boring routine. Be exciting, be dangerous and above all, be different.


 


Your sex lasts about as long as an oil change


How long does your sex last these days? Many garages can complete an oil change in about ten minutes, but if you’re looking for that kind of speed in your love life then there is something clearly very wrong and this needs changing as badly as the oil in your car. Stretch things out a bit – include long foreplay sessions or try different things in order to ensure that you take your time and don’t rush. Be sure not to try to rush in without taking care of her needs first. This will ensures a more sexual experience for both of you.


 


Her levels of lubrication are low


Cars need to be well oiled to be working properly, and in this regard it is fairly easy to sort it out – you just pop into the garage and get things oiled up again for a good bit of lubrication. If your girlfriend is lacking some lubrication of your course there are simple ways to add it in, but this is not the right way to be treating your sex life. Instead you should ensure you are doing everything that you can make her experience as good as yours. Don’t fall back on the easy ways of doing things, as you would with sorting our car. This is your relationship and it is worth much more to you than a car that is running smoothly. Take the advice of this article and you have no worries about treating your sex life the wrong way.

As the hotter weather arrives, an important area of family wellness to consider is how to ensure that your children cope with the heat. Obvious things like sun cream and sunhats can protect the wellness of their skin, but there are also other measures that you should be taking to ensure that they are protected from heatstroke, a rare but serious complication of spending too much time in the sun.


This advice comes directly from medical services after a baby boy was found dead in his parents’ car, after spending a prolongued period of time in the family vehicle, which was parked in a sunny spot outside their home. An autopsy later confirmed that the infant died as a result of heat exposure. This confirms the sad fact that heat can have a tremendously dangerous effect on the wellbeing of children, and the very young in particular.


To keep your children safe, it is important to keep an eye on the weather reports and make sure that you are prepared for any hot weather that is due to occur. Watch out for the symptoms of heat-related illness, which can include things like changes in behaviour (such as your child being more sleepy and lethargic than usual, or mood swings and temper tantrums), as well as dizziness, nausea or vomiting, fainting, complaining of headaches, rapid breathing and an increased heart rate, excessive thirst and a decreased urine output, with any urine being a strange dark yellow colour.


It is also vital that you never leave children alone inside a parked vehicle, whether or not it is in direct sunlight. Remember that even when it is around 23 degrees outside the vehicle, this can mean temperatures inside the vehicle of around 50 degrees without air conditioning. Make sure also that your children know not to play in or around your vehicle.


 

There’s nothing like a summer holiday to help improve family wellness. However, while the prospect of making memories and having fun in the sun seems like heaven, getting to the airport and on the flight with the whole family is probably your idea of hell. If you have small children, travelling can be – to put it mildly – difficult, but it doesn’t always have to be.


Firstly, if you can drive to the airport, or have a nice friend or relative take you, take that option. There’s no point trying to do the trip on public transport. It’s enough of a hassle trying to get your kids in a car on time to make your flight, but what if one lags behind and you miss your bus or train? Your children will also feel more comfortable in a familiar environment; such as your car, and so driving to the airport is the first step in making the journey as hassle free as possible.


When it comes to the flight itself, a little pre-planning always comes in handy when kids are involved. Checking in online, as soon as you can, will help you to get one thing ticked off your worry list, and choose the right seats for the flight. It’s important for children who are nervous about flying to be with their parents, so checking in early will help you to get seats together and, as an added bonus, maybe even a little extra space. You can also plan ahead and get your children a kid’s meal on the flight, which they’ll be more likely to eat, and the meal may come with some form of added treat or entertainment.


Yet, though there are things you can do to ease the journey and guard your family’s wellbeing against unnecessary arguments, that is not to day that travelling with your kids in tow will be problem-free. Expecting the journey to all run exactly to plan will only leave you disappointed, and annoyed with your kids for ruining your perfect plan. However, if you anticipate the little things going wrong, you’ll be ready for them when they do. Staying calm is absolutely vital in this situation, as your kids will pick up on any stress that you’re feeling, and everyone’s emotional wellness will suffer. This could make for uncomfortable flying so stay relaxed, be prepared, and let things take their natural course.



How to Avoid the Nightmare of Travelling with Small Children

fitness car exercisesUsing a car is often derided as being far less healthy than walking. There’s no doubt that this is absolutely true, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t use some of your time in the car to keep your body in good shape. If you’re stuck in a traffic jam, for example, don’t waste time getting frustrated or staring into space. Instead use the downtime in your commute to do some exercises to make sure you stay as healthy as possible.


There are three areas of your body that can be easily exercised while you are in the car. So here are the best ways that you can use your time in the car to stay in shape.


Neck exercises


  • Turn your neck to one side and then hold it in place for five seconds. Do this five times, and then repeat for the other side of the neck.

  • Sitting straight and upright, tilt your neck so that your ear is close to your shoulder. Hold this steady for five seconds and then release. Repeat this five times on both sides.

Back exercises


  • In your normal seated position in the car, slowly move your bottom forward so as to form an arch in your back. Hold this position for five seconds and then slowly roll your back against the seat. Repeat this a few times.

  • You can relieve numbness and lower-back pain by squeezing your gluteal muscles to activate the circulation.

Arm exercises


  • Place your hands on the steering wheel at the nine and three o’clock position. Keeping your elbows straight, push and hold the wheel for five seconds. Repeat this four times and then change the position of your arms to the ten and two o’clock position.
