A Psychological Trick For Instantly Hotter Sex

Random research findings on emotional warmth can turn you into a psychological sex god or goddess.

And I mean almost instantly.

This psychological trick will also subtly make your lover feel more connected to you on a deep emotional level — among many other sexual benefits.

If that sounds good to you, this article will explore everything you need to know about the psychological Matrix of Hot Sex.

What Is the Matrix of Hot Sex?

What I call the “Matrix of Hot Sex” is a well-known scientific phenomenon that connects human emotion to physical experience.

The foundation of the matrix is a study published in the Emotion peer-reviewed journal, which revealed that human beings respond to temperatures in a very unusual way. We feel more disconnected from each other in colder temperatures, while we feel more connected in warmer temperatures.

This psychological effect has been studied and proven over and over again for more than a decade.

But it goes much deeper than emotional connection.

In fact, the crazy effect of temperature on sex almost makes you a sexual puppet master.

How the Hot Sex Matrix Transforms Your Sex Life

After delving deep into the temperature-sex research, it seems that there is very little that the right temperature can not do.

For example, science has discovered that certain levels of ambient heat boost arousal, attraction, and bonding.

That’s a triple threat I’ll take any day of the week.

One study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology concluded that hotter temperatures make us more generous and kind — qualities that transfer nicely to the bedroom.

I mean, who doesn’t want an even more generous lover? Sign me up, please!

By fiddling with temperature, you can massively impact your sex life, sex satisfaction, and sexual partner.

Yet, there is even more to the story.

It’s the hidden source of temperature’s power where you really step behind the curtain and into the forbidden palace of pleasure.

Zolf Dillman published research about the excitation-transfer paradigm that has profound implications for better sex. The paradigm essentially proves that stimulation from one stimulus magnifies our response to another stimulus.

Here is a good summary of the paradigm taken from the International Encyclopedia of Media Effects:

Excitation transfer theory posits that the physiological dimension of one’s emotional response to an initial stimulus or event persists or lingers beyond the immediate exposure to that stimulus. In turn, this residual arousal works in an additive fashion with stimulation from a subsequent event to intensify the emotional response to that subsequent event. The theory has been employed to explain how residual excitation can elevate responses in interpersonal contexts (e.g., increased aggression, attraction) as well as in a variety of mediated contexts (e.g., enhanced enjoyment of drama and sports, advertising, music appreciation).

All that science mumble-jumble means that you can intensify your sexual experience by stacking emotional responses.

Here’s how to do it.

How To Use the Hot Matrix for Hotter Sex

Ever had amazing sex after a heated argument?

That’s an example of emotional stacking. The arousal from the argument intensifies the sex and orgasms.

This is also the reason that many people experience higher levels of attraction for each other after fear-based activities — such as scary movies or rollercoasters.

Mathematician and philosopher, Bertrand Russell, famously said that the best sex of his life happened when war raged just outside the window. The sense of danger and adrenaline made the experience more intense.

“We tend to think of the erotic as an easy, tantalizing sexual arousal. I speak of the erotic as the deepest life force, a force which moves us toward living in a fundamental way.”— Audre Lorde

Let’s now apply all of this to your sex life.

Here’s how to induce hotter sex with emotional stacking:

  • Raise the temperature in your bedroom (or whatever room you use for sex — I’m not judging).
  • Enjoy a hot shower or bath before sex.
  • Drink a hot beverage, such as coffee, before sex.
  • Watch a scary movie before sex.

You can even combine several of these environmental stimuli to compound and intensify sex.

For example, you can watch a scary movie while drinking a hot beverage and then have sex in a hotter than usual room. Or, workout, take a hot shower together, and move seamlessly into the bedroom.

As you can see, there are an unlimited number of ways to apply this psychological trick.

Disclaimers, Warnings, and the Dark Side of the Hot Sex Matrix

Disclaimers, warnings, and the dark side of the arousal matrix.

Excitation transfer theory can intensify both positive and negative states. Hot weather is known to prompt aggression and violence. In a heightened state of arousal, we might be more prone to lash out or argue.

The same goes for when we’re feeling good.

We might become overly confident or take risks we wouldn’t normally take. That’s why it’s so important to be aware of our state of mind and body at all times.

“Arousal leaves us mind-blind.” — Malcolm Gladwell

Mind-blown in the sense that our mental acuity is flooded and submerged beneath a tidal wave of primal instinct.

By being present and aware, we can catch ourselves before we get too carried away in either direction. Remember, it’s almost always better to err on the side of discretion, strategy, and prudence.

When in doubt, just take a step back and breathe.

The Takeaways (A Quick Summary)

To pull all of this research together, here is a quick summary of the most important points.

Takeaways:

  • Hotter temperatures can result in hotter sex (just don’t make it so hot you suffer a heat stroke)
  • Arousal from a nonsexual experience can intensify sexual arousal
  • Stack arousal experiences for hotter sex
  • Keep the heightened emotional experiences positive to avoid unwanted consequences
  • The lingering effects of arousal can induce strong undesirable states and behaviors

In one way or another, all emotionally arousing events alter your state of consciousness, reaction to other stimuli, and perception of the world.

Too much arousal disrupts sexual performance. Too little negates it. The right balance, however, electrifies it.

Final Thoughts

The Hot Sex Matrix allows you to reshape sexual experience and behavior through the strategic modulation of excitation and arousal.

Please note that these environmental influencers can be weaponized against you by nefarious event planners, influence experts, con artists, and other “black-hat” operators.
