We turned to Reddit for sex advice and here are some of the best tips we found

Okay, let’s be honest: if we ask you who you turn to for advice first, who would it be? You might say it’s your best friend, but the truth is, it's Reddit. And we are all guilty here. We have all searched for the most random things on the app, and if it's advice, we've found our answers there. For those who don’t know, Reddit is a social media platform where people share stories, ask questions, and discuss opinions. 

Somehow, the app seems to have answers for everything—from fixing a washing machine to finding the best date spots in your city, to dealing with bizarre situations like escaping from a stuck elevator, or identifying the sauce used in a burger at a particular restaurant. As it turns out, people have at some point or the other had the same experiences as you and have shared their versions of it on the app. So, we thought, why not turn to Reddit for sex advice? To our surprise, we found some truly wise tips and today we're sharing them with you. So here are 22 of the best sex advice on Reddit. 

“Don’t expect someone to just know what you want. Tell them.” — u/TMatters 

“I've discovered the secret to having sex with anyone passionate: start with heavy breathing and work your way up to soft moaning, then if you want to let them know you're enjoying what she's doing just moan more. It's the little things like that that take sex from being normal to being passionate and engaging.” — u/FinelllChangeMyName

“If she says "don't stop" don't go harder. Do exactly what you are already doing”. — u/Ahnenglanaz 

“Every person's different, but basically, tease. Run your fingers over places that you don't normally touch, and that are a little bit erotic for her. Experiment. If you're in a long-term relationship, you can also kind of get a Pavlovian response thing going, if you're a little bit consistent. — u/SgtKashim

“I don't think a lot of people realize how much psychology is part of sex for women in particular. If you build it up right for her, it'll be awesome for both of you.” — u/lightknight7777

“Not advice someone gave me, but advice I want to give others. Your first time will be a little awkward and as a guy you might find it hard to keep it up or cum. That's okay. The first time I had sex which was actually with my girlfriend I was so nervous but it was okay, and she was accepting. Just relax, try to enjoy, and let nature take its course.” — u/ChungusJeej

“Pee. After. Sex. UTIs are no fun at all.” — Unknown 

“Dirty talk is very underrated and underused and will be a big turn-on for anyone, especially in the moment.” — u/T_Davis_Ferguson

“It's not the size of the boat nor the motion in the ocean, it's whether or not the captain can stay in port long enough for all the passengers to get off.” — u/LaughingMan73

"Sex is way better with emotional attraction. Maybe it’s an age thing, but hookups just can’t compare at this point.” — u/NotMarus7 

“Stop thinking of sex as goal-oriented, think of it as journey-minded.” — Unknown

“Took the pressure off regarding the end and made me enjoy the experience waaaaaaaaay more.” —u/neuralgoo

“Talk to each other. It's never going to work if you're trying to guess what they want while also making them guess what you want. Don't be afraid to say "omg, right there" or "oof, not there, that's not comfortable." If you're too uncomfortable to talk about doing something then you're going to be really uncomfortable actually doing it.” — u/KorinTheGirl

“Be open to receiving as well as giving.I think for a long time I was too focused on what I could do to please my partner, sometimes forgetting to be vocal about what my partner could do to please me. Being both confident in asking for pleasure and vocal in showing how much you enjoy things makes your partner that much more eager to please.” — u/glovesnap20 

“If you're a virgin or even have only a couple of partners, It doesn't matter what your age or sex is. GET HPV SHOTS!!!— u/georgeo

“Lube is life, lube is love. Don't see lube as a problem, it makes things much more pleasant and can get things moving much faster." — Unknown

“Good sex can be taught....as in don't be discouraged if the first time with someone you really like isn't all fireworks and perfection. You can't teach a good conversation or a good connection, though.” —u/Sassquapadelia

“Sex is the dessert, foreplay is the main course, and playing around before it is the appetizer, also, cuddling after is like coffee.” — u/Warthenak

"Also incorporate vibrators. Don't be afraid to use toys.” — u/responsible-Ad-8480

"Foreplay starts outside the bedroom, and doesn't have to involve touch at all. A good flirt game is super powerful."— u/Purdygreen

“Breathe through your orgasm rather than holding your breath. It makes it more intense and last longer.” — u/LubeAndLatex
