In case you missed it, mermaidcore is an aesthetic that includes lots of pastel, frilly, floaty things, and sequins. But it can inspire more: a little role-play, a little fantasy, and a lot of fun. As mythical creatures, mermaids are super sexy and alluring, and we think they’re the perfect source of summer sex inspo.
1. The admired man
Turn on your partner and turn them into your own shy Prince(ss) Eric, by making them look, but not touch, while you use a toy or your hands to make yourself disappear.
2. The “I want to be where the people are”
Opportunities for public sex are greater in summer than in winter, especially if the receiving partner wears a dress or skirt to beat the heat.
3. Ursula
Step away from the book and embrace the dark side of the sea. Ursula is a sex icon and symbol for a reason, and it’s not just because of her curves, it’s also about attitude and confidence (and the power of red lipstick). You can do pretty much anything you want in bed while channeling Ursula, and it’ll be ten times better.
4. The “under the sea”
Having sex in the water can be super sexy. And even more fun if you usually have trouble having sex standing up (because one partner isn’t strong enough to lift the other, someone has a backache, etc.). Sex in the water mimics the experience while you’re floating, making it easier on everyone’s body. Just remember that underwater sex can be incredibly dry and yes, you can still get pregnant if you have penile sex underwater.
5. The flounder
Floundered on The little mermaid is a chubby, round little guy, but real-life flounders are flat as pancakes. They lie on one side under the sea, and we will take our inspiration from that, instead of the two eyes on one side of the head. With both partners lying on their sides in a spooning position, one enters the other from behind. This is a great position for stimulating the clitoris or penis which is the little spoon, and the angles of penetration can hit the spot just right.
6. The starfish
You know—sometimes you need a break, especially after a few rounds. Starfish can be a real break from aerobics. This is usually just one partner lying on their back with their arms and legs flopped out towards the corners of the bed, barely moving as they receive pleasure in any number of ways.
