Full Moon Sex Practices: Tips for Couples and Singles
The full moon has long been associated with mystery, magic, and romance. It's no surprise that many people believe the full moon has a powerful effect on our emotions and desires. In recent years, the idea of using the full moon to enhance one's sex life has gained popularity.
For couples, full moon sex practices can be a way to deepen your intimacy and connection. Some couples have rituals or ceremonial experiences during the full moon, such as lighting candles or meditating together. Others simply take advantage of the heightened energy and use it to explore new sexual experiences. According to an article by Cosmopolitan, the full moon is the "BEST time to have sex" and suggests trying out sex positions like the lunar lotus pose, which features lots of eye contact and gives both partners a feeling of spiritual connection.
For singles, full moon sex practices can be a way to explore your own sexuality, sensuality, and pleasure in your body. Some use the full moon as a time for self-care and self-love, taking a bath or practicing yoga to connect with their own energy. Others choose to self pleasure or explore their own sensual desires during the full moon. Regardless of whether you're single or in a relationship, the full moon can be a time to explore your own sexuality, pleasure, and connect with your desires.
Understanding the Full Moon Energy
The full moon has long been associated with mystical and spiritual energies. It is said to represent the peak of lunar power and is often associated with heightened emotions, creativity, and intuition. In the context of sexuality, the full moon is believed to hold a special kind of energy that can be harnessed to enhance passion, intimacy, and pleasure.
Cycles of the Moon
To understand the full moon's energy, it is important to first understand the cycles of the moon. The moon goes through a cycle that lasts approximately 29.5 days, during which it goes from a new moon to a full moon and back again. This cycle is often divided into four phases: new moon, waxing moon, full moon, and waning moon.
During the new moon phase, the moon is invisible in the sky (check out my recommendations for new moon practices here). This is a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. As the moon begins to wax, or grow larger, it is said to be a time of manifestation and growth. The full moon represents the peak of this cycle, when the moon is at its brightest and most powerful. Finally, during the waning moon phase, the moon begins to shrink, representing a time of release and letting go.
Full Moon and Sexuality
According to astrologers, the full moon is a time when emotions are heightened, and passions run deep. This can make it an ideal time for couples to connect on a deeper level and explore playful sexual desires.
In addition to its emotional and energetic significance, the full moon is also believed to have a physical effect on the body. Some experts believe that the moon's gravitational pull can affect the body's fluids, including those involved in sexual arousal and pleasure. This may explain why some people report experiencing more intense sexual sensations during the full moon.
Overall, understanding the full moon's energy can be a powerful tool for enhancing intimacy and pleasure in your sex life, whether you are single or in a relationship. By paying attention to the cycles of the moon and harnessing its energy, you can deepen your connection with yourself and partner(s) as well as explore new levels of passion and pleasure.

Enhancing Intimacy
During the full moon, couples can explore new ways to enhance their intimacy. Trying new sex positions or experimenting with sensual massage can help deepen the connection between partners. Some couples may also choose to practice tantric sex, which involves slowing down and focusing on the energy exchange between partners.
