If you think of famous people you’d trust getting sex advice from, who comes to mind first? For me, it’s Cher (something about her makes me feel like she’s having better sex than the rest of us) but where does your mind go? Do you think of a Kardashian? Maybe an actress like Dakota Johnson who’s done some pretty intense sex scenes? Well, what about an athlete?
Athletes are supposed to represent the best of us — well, at least speaking from a physical sense. Their bodies endure some pretty crazy training and they’re constantly having to work on their mind-body connection. Don’t you think that results in having some pretty good sex? And don’t you think if there’s any sex advice we should be taking from celebrities it should be from the ones that live by the mantra that their “bodies are temples”?
The problem with getting sex advice from athletes, though, is that the same burning questions interviewers may be asking influencers and actors are not being asked of people in sports. They’re usually just being asked about how their basketball, baseball, hockey game was. So usually, when they do give some sort of free sex advice out, it’s usually within the context of, well, being an athlete.
Antonio Conte, an Italian football manager, basically told his players to be pillow princesses before a big game. Why? It takes less energy and they don’t have to do anything really athletic (at least until they’re on the field, I guess). “I advise my players to have sex for short periods, with the minimum of effort and use positions where they are under their partners and preferably with their wives,” he said. “Because then you don’t have to be exceptional.”
If you think you always have to be the best in bed — think again. Professional golfer Jimmy Demaret said, “Golf and sex are about the only things you can enjoy without being good at it.”
It’s no secret that Shaquille O’Neal is huge. And no, I don’t mean like that (at least, I don’t know for sure), but the man is over 7 feet tall. But even his height doesn’t get in the way of getting intimate. To answer how he successfully has sex, all he said was, “It’s all about geometry.” Finally, math I actually care about.
Travis Kelce recently surprised us all when he dropped some sex advice on his new podcast Heights Hotline with his brother. “Do some shit you know you’re supposed to be doing without her asking,” he said, saying that surprising your partner with something considerate and romantic can make for a much better time during sex.
Jason Kelce is also giving out sex advice. His contribution? Basically remind your partner what you have to offer. “Sometimes they just want to see the goods,” he said. And he added that the best way to do this might just be to walk around with some tight pants on.
