8 Things You Should Never Do Before Sex

8 Things You Should Never Do Before Sex

Sex should be fun, exciting, and comfortable. But sometimes, small mistakes before getting in bed can ruin the whole experience. If you want to have good, stress-free sex, here are some things you should never do before getting down to business.


1. Don’t Eat Heavy or Spicy Food

That plate of amala and ewedu might be tempting, but if you eat too much before sex, you might feel bloated, sluggish, or gassy. Nothing kills the mood like stomach discomfort. If you must eat, go for something light like snacks.


2. Don’t Drink Too Much Alcohol

A little alcohol can help you relax and put you in the mood, but too much can numb your senses and make it harder to enjoy sex. For men, it can make getting hard difficult, and for women, it can reduce natural lubrication. Know your limit.


3. Don’t Forget to Pee

A full bladder during sex is uncomfortable, and if you wait too long after, you might increase your chances of getting a UTI (urinary tract infection). Try to pee before and after sex to keep your bladder happy.


4. Don’t Shave or Wax Right Before Sex

I know you want to be smooth for the night, but shaving or waxing right before sex can cause irritation, razor bumps, or even tiny cuts, which can make sex uncomfortable (or increase infection risk). Try shaving several hours before, or even the night before.


5. Don’t Brush Your Teeth Right Before Oral Sex

Brushing your teeth too hard can cause tiny cuts in your gums, increasing the risk of infection during oral sex. If you want fresh breath, rinse with mouthwash or drink water instead.


6. Don’t Overthink It

Nervous? Worried about performance? Overthinking can kill the mood. Instead of stressing, focus on enjoying the moment. Confidence is sexy, and when you are relaxed, the experience is so much better.


7. Don’t Overdo Perfume or Scented Products

I know you want to smell irresistible with strong perfumes or scented lotions, but consider your partner who will be licking your neck and other parts of your body. Stick to mild, natural scents and focus on hygiene instead.


8. Don’t Assume They’re in the Mood

Just because you’re horny doesn’t mean your partner is ready to go. Always check in with them, read the mood, and don’t forget that consent is key. A simple “Are you in the mood?” can save you from an awkward situation.


Good sex starts before the action even begins. Avoid these mistakes, take care of yourself, and set the mood right. When you feel good, sex feels even better.
