Turning Lemons into Limes
How to use someone’s physical quirks to your sexual advantage

During the course of sexual pursuits there are times when one looks long and hard in the mirror and thinks that improvements could be made. I never do this because I’m perfect but I’m sure that other people do this. But, what happens when the tables are turned and you find yourself regarding your partner’s, ahem, full body of work thinking that changes could be made.
Well, it’s time to stop being negative because here’s a guide to taking what you might think are your partners shortcomings and changing them into full blown positive attributes!
1.The Crooked Appendage
Now this is a classic, you’ve been seeing a guy, things are going great and then when things start to heat up – BAM!, he whips out an exaggerated banana esque shlong. Do people still say shlong? I don’t know. Anyways, despite this attribute getting a bad rep it can really help to get you off. Here’s what you do-. Study it; really take in the way it angles, curves etc. and then experiment with
your partner. Try different positions. The curve could help out in ways a straight penis never could.
2. The Werewolf
Your partners hairy…like really hairy. And you don’t mind because you think it’s manly and very lumber sexual, which is all the rage right now according to Buzzfeed. But you are tired of getting hairs in your mouth, so switch it up, get on top and run your hands through his chest hair and then grab it and hold on tight while using it as leverage. The pain pleasure combo will blow his mind, and yours!
3. Beanstalk Bae
Your boyfriend’s hella tall, and while the positives are endless, like him being able to reach the top shelf of the grocery store, screwing in a light bulb in without needing a ladder and never losing him in a crowd — when it comes to your sex life things can
sometimes get a little lanky in bed. And while trying to quickly switch positions in a twin size bed with someone who’s 6″3
sounds like a fun challenge — it’s not. So try hooking up in a way that evens out your heights, like on a couch or an armchair Juno
style. Your torsos will match up better and you’ll be face to face, which is just oh so romantic.
4. Mane Squeeze
Your girlfriend has some truly exquisite locks, like Blake Lively would be jealous, level mane. But it can get tangled up pretty quick during any type of intimate interaction. You’re constantly trying to blow it out of your face because your hands are well, occupied. For this sexual annoyance try getting a little bit adventurous à la 50 Shades. Tell her you want to put her hair in a ponytail and braid it. You can grab it, pull it, use it as an impromptu whip and it’ll stay tangle free while looking sexy as fuck.
5. Bearded Bang
You’re dude has a great beard. Like really great. Like, could be in a pretentious hipster magazine great. He combs it, washes it, conditions it and almost treats it better than he treats you. But, lately you’ve been finding kissing what feels like your dogs face a tad un-sexy. But you do not need to secretly shave off his manhood while he’s sleeping in order to turn this hairy conundrum around, use it to take your foreplay to the next level. Have him use his beard or scruff to slowly caress your erogenous zones like he would if he had a feather etc. This is awesome because he can also kiss or lick his way around in conjunction with the tickling stimulation from his beard. So remember to never discount your partner’s attributes because they could just be the key to a lock you didn’t even know existed.
