The winter months are a time of the year when many people find themselves feeling lonely and isolated. It is especially tough when you live with someone who physically isolates you. Friends and family members have gone back to school or work, vacations are over and there’s just not as much to do outside, so many turn to social media for entertainment. Others turn to a new relationship to get them through the cold dark times!
Cheaters are no different. Settling in with an affair partner rather than playing the field makes a lot of sense this time of year. It can be tough to get out during the winter for a married dater, so think about all the positives that come with spending cuffing season with a single lover!
What is cuffing?
Cuffing refers to ‘handcuffing’ yourself to someone sexually, much in the way hooking up does. Cuffing however lasts a little longer so is like a longish-term relationship to help get you through the winter! For cheaters, cuffing with an exclusive affair partner might be the way to fight the winter blues!
Cuffing is the perfect solution to stay happy and invigorated! Cuffing season lasts from Fall to the end of Winter but culminates around Valentine’s Day; going later the further north you live.
Keeping my ear to the ground and watching the numbers, I’ve seen an uptick in new Ashely Madison profiles in the last month. In my area the male to female ratio is steady at 5 to 1, but lately it seems more women are opening new profiles than men.
This jibes with the greater prevalence of women who suffer from seasonal affective disorder(1), who might find cuffing helps shore up their emotional wellbeing. Anecdotally from Ashley Madison seems the ladies feel the urge to stretch their legs, er, wings, to keep their inner fires burning at this time of year.
Personal experience has taught me too much Netflix and not enough chill during the winter makes for a grumpy girl.
So why should cheaters cuff?
Meeting new people can be fun in the warmer months because it’s easier to nip out for a coffee to check the chemistry. Meeting becomes a pain once the weather turns shitty, so getting out needs to be worthwhile and coffee with a string of losers doesn’t cut it.
It’s hard to feel sexy or see a potbelly under a raincoat or parka, and the extra work getting dressed for the elements and cleaning off the car detracts from the excitement of finding a new friend.
The solution? Cultivating and cuffing with an affair partner or two makes so much more sense over the winter.
According to a study done by the University of North Texas(2), loneliness and depression will be higher during cold weather than hot weather because people tend to stay indoors and talk to fewer people. Also, there’s not as much sunlight which results in lower vitamin D production. Vitamin D is important for mood regulation and promotes feelings of well-being.
Meaning not only is the weather shittier, but your mood is shittier, making it that much harder to get out the door. It’s hard to fight the urge for a bath and warm flannels on a cold night if there’s nothing better to do.
Cuffing combats the loneliness and depression by making getting out the door worth it. It is a lot easier to get out when you know someone is going to have their mouth on your privates half an hour later.
What you should know about cuffing season before you jump in headfirst!
You should keep in mind there are challenges for a longer term affair during cuffing season. Here are a few tips manage them:
- Be realistic about the situation. Like all other affairs, don’t expect to find your soulmate.
- Don’t get too attached. Longer term cuffing risks developing feels, but remember, affairs are about having fun, so don’t let the feels get too serious.
- Once winter ends, so does cuffing season. Be prepared to say goodbye to your long-term affair partner once the weather warms up and you both turn to greener pastures.
How to take advantage of cuffing season
So, how can you take advantage of cuffing season? First and foremost, it’s important to be proactive about finding an affair partner with a good schedule. The kind of person you normally look for, and your dealbreakers, might be less important than consistency this time of year so consider opening your search criteria:
- Settle for someone who’s a good rather than the best fuck.
- Worry less about the looks department.
- Try a bit older than you’d normally think about.
- Try shorter or heavier than you normally would.
Put your dating preferences and criteria aside in favor of consistency and comfort might surprise you. If you’re a man, think about a girl carrying a bit more weight than you might like. For a woman, an eager man who can make up for things missing in other areas.
Lastly, don’t forget to have fun!
Cuffing season should be a fun and exciting time, so don’t stress yourself out too much. Just relax with your ‘exclusive’ affair partner and go with the flow — you never know what you might learn.
Tips for successful affair sex during the winter months:
- Get active! When the weather is bad, it’s easy to stay inside and hibernate. Staying active is crucial to keeping your sex life energized. Guys, she’ll thank you for hitting the gym for some cardio.
- Plan fun activities! One of the best things about winter is that there are so many fun activities to do. Does she want to try some soft BDSM? Prefect your technique! Try some role play, or try some pegging. Spice up the winter dullness with some new things! Make sure to plan ahead and include your affair partner in all your hot fun.
- Cuddle up! There’s nothing better than cuddling up after sex with your affair partner. Don’t just bolt after fucking, but plan for some time you naked hugging to relax, recharge and reconnect. Next to having my pussy devoured, post-coital cuddling is my fav!
- Be understanding! The winter months can be hard on everyone, so be understanding if your affair partner is feeling a little grumpy or down between meets. It’s not always easy to stay positive when you’re stuck inside at home with someone who doesn’t cuddle or fuck. It’s important to be supportive of each other!
Here’s how you can be supportive:
- Send her a masturbation video and tell her you’re thinking of her as you cum!
- Send him some sexy bathtub time nudes and tell him how much you miss his cock!
- Do naughty sexts in the middle of the day showing him a finger in your pussy to remind him your next sesh is coming!
The winter months can be hard on people, so keep their morale up!
