Spring is a time for fresh starts and new beginnings, a season that brings with it a sense of awakening after the long slumber of frosty mornings and dark nights. As the weather warms up and flowers begin to bloom, there’s a certain energy in the air that’s hard to ignore. With the arrival of Spring, we feel more alive, energetic and there’s a boost in our sexual energy and libido. 

So, what is it about Spring that gets our hearts racing and our pulses quickening? Let’s find out… 

Less layers

After wrapping up in heavy coats and scarfs to face the Winter chill, Spring allows us to shed those thicker layers for lighter clothing. As we feel the sun’s warmth on our face and the gentle breeze on our skin, it can cause us to feel more confident and attractive. Wearing fewer layers not only boosts our mood, but can make us more attuned to our own desires and sexual energy - making this season exciting and full of anticipation.  

A sense of adventure 

When Spring arrives, we can often feel a sense of adventure stirring within us. The longer days and warmer weather can cause us to break away from our ordinary lives and make new discoveries. Whilst Spring can often wake up our sexual libido, we may feel more open to trying new things, such as different sexual positions or a different sensation or condom. If you’re looking to add a smile on your face, our smiley condoms might be just the thing to add a little more fun and excitement into your bedroom adventures. However, if you’re looking for a different sensation to match this newfound sexual energy, our warming and cooling condoms are the perfect addition for enhancing pleasure and satisfaction. 

More sunlight 

Spring also brings more sunlight, which naturally causes a surge in hormones, including an increase in sexual energy. Sunlight triggers the release of serotonin, one of the ‘feel-good’ hormones, boosting our moods, leaving us feeling happier, more relaxed and more open to intimacy. As well as this, sunlight also stimulates the production of vitamin D in our bodies, which has been linked to increased energy and testosterone - a hormone that can cause an increase in our sexual libido and arousal. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to decreased sexual libido and sexual dysfunction, showing how important sunlight is for maintaining a healthy sex drive. Therefore, the increased sunlight that accompanies Springtime can revitalise our minds and bodies, increasing our sexual energy and need for intimacy. 

Springtime spontaneity 

Whilst Spring increases our mood and sexual libido leaves us feeling more energised, it also brings in a fresh wave of spontaneity and adventure. During the Winter months, we’ve been confined to Winter hibernation and desperate to embrace the great outdoors. From picnics in the park to leisurely strolls by the beach, Spring offers us an abundance of spontaneous romantic adventures. Time outdoors can therefore increase our sexual energy, causing more passionate encounters and intimate moments. 

Increased lubrication

There are many factors associated with Spring that can not only cause an increase in sexual energy, but also cause an increase in lubrication. During warmer weather, people tend to move around more and this increase in physical activity can boost blood flow to all parts of the body, including the genitals, and with more blood flow means more sexual arousal and lubrication. Also, in Spring, people often feel happier and less stressed which can make us feel more relaxed having sex. Sometimes, we need extra lubrication due to factors, such as medication, hormonal changes or medical conditions and that’s perfectly normal. Our range of lubricants can help with vaginal dryness, creating a more comfortable and satisfying sexual experience.  

Cultural influences 

Society has always viewed Spring as a time for love and romance. Throughout history, Spring has been linked to fertility festivals and celebrations like Valentine’s Day as a way of celebrating a rise in sexual energy. These influences remind us that Spring is a time for romance and love, celebrating the idea of new beginnings and the renewal of life - causing us to feel even more passionate and excited about connecting with others and adding to the notion that spring is a special time for relationships and intimacy.
