LIFESTYLE: 10 things women do when they know they’re going to have sex - BY SHADE HARUNA

Spontaneous sex is one of the best feelings in the world, but there are also benefits to knowing in advance that you’re gonna get some. Although it goes without saying that men really couldn’t care less about these types of things, as women, we always like to be prepared – especially if it’s when sleeping with someone new. his includes everything from getting a pre-sex wax to picking out sexy lingerie. Here are some things women do when they know sex is on the cards.

1. Shave/wax Sorry to burst your bubble boys, but our skin isn’t magically smooth 24/7. In fact, when it comes to winter, most ladies only really shave when it’s absolutely necessary. It’s not like we’re going to be wearing a dress with our legs on show, is it? 2. Paint our toenails Okay, maybe it’s just me but I kinda hate the way my feet look. So if a guy is gonna be seeing my feet, then I’ll at least make sure I have a nice nail polish on.

3. Briefly panic Even if we had sex just days earlier, there’s always that brief panic that we’re going to do it wrong (is that even possible?) or that sex has changed completely in a mere 24 hours. There’s always that bit of panic, but more often than not, it turns into anticipation, which is nice.

4. Picking out our sexiest lingerie Or spend an hour panicking while trying to find or wash it so it’s ready. lingerie drying 5. Spend ages deciding on an outfit Considering it’s due to come off pretty quickly, this is the thing we’re least bothered about – but we still have to give it some thought. We want to wear something classy, but also enticing, and nothing that’ll be too fiddly with lots of zips and buttons. It’s hard work being a girl sometimes. 6. Wondering whether to bring condoms Will it look too forward if I do, even if I’ve hinted massively that sex is on the cards? If I don’t bring any, will it look bad on me to expect the guy to have some? There’s never an easy answer for this; although I will say that as you get older, people tend to not judge either way. And at the end of the day, it’s better to be safe than sorry. 7. Text our friends Sure, we’ve got our moves, but we almost always text our friends for advice or just to let them know. Girls like to brag too y’know.

8. Make a mental list of things to pack for the ‘morning after’ Things like mints, a toothbrush, some makeup and some clean lingerie.

9. And always forget said things Ultimately leading to an obvious walk (or Uber) of shame the following morning, with messy hair, last night’s outfit and morning breath.

Have a glass of wine, or two This normally consists of a glass of wine while getting ready, followed by necking another before leaving just to help ease the nerves.
