Summer is officially upon us, and while the season is filled with sun, Speedos, beach, and all sorts of other fun, there is one universally loathed dilemma that plagues all men and women across the country: cuddling.
How do you cuddle when it's hot, humid, and both you and your partner are drenched in sweat? Well, you’re going to have to be creative. But here are six ways to cuddle when it’s so damn hot outside.
1. Hold hands
Holding hands while lying in bed with your partner is surprisingly intimate. And when you get to feel your partner squeeze involuntarily while he’s in deep REM sleep, it’s really nice! Also, you can be like the adorable otters who hold hands while they’re sleeping.
2. The interlocked pinky hold
How hot are we talking? If we’re talking that Georgia humidity or valley-high 100 degree+ heat, even holding hands may be too much. This is why the pinky hold exists. Yep, it’s exactly as it sounds: interlock your pinky with your partner while you both are snoozing away.
3. The footsie touch
Ah, the footsie touch. A classic flirtatious move that can be repurposed during the summer to help both you and your lover beat the heat.
4. The butt grab
If one of you sleeps on your back and the other one sleeps on their stomach, this is the perfect faux-cuddle position for you. Grab their tush.
5. The junk grab
Of course, this is very much dependent on the relationship you have with your partner. While you can do the front grab, you need to be cautious. This may often lead to arousal, which will lead to sexy time, which creates even MORE heat (which is the last thing you want).
6. Get over it and cuddle
It’s hot. It’s humid. It’s gross. Get over it. Embrace the heat. Sweat all over yourself and your partner. Just cuddle, damn it!
Two-time Olympic silver medalist and Team USA member Danell Leyva knew just what the crowd in Rio watching men's gymnastics wanted — a hot, shirtless performance — and that's exactly what he gave to them during yesterday's gymnastics gala.
If his off-the-cuff toplessness wasn't enough to get your head spinning, you'll be happy to find out that the athlete and aspiring actor (who has a proclivity for taking his shirt off) is also a very proud LGBT ally.
*major swoon alert*
Boy, does Danell sure know the way to our hearts!

This year I moved into the first apartment I’ve ever lived in that had air conditioning. But don’t worry. While I may be happily sprawled across my bed with a book in my cool 70-degree bedroom all summer, I have not forgotten the window fan depths of hell from which I came. If you’re still without the luxury of air-conditioning at home, and whatever life hack about a bucket of ice under a fan you read in the desperate sweat-soaked hours of mid-afternoon just isn’t cutting it, there are still plenty of (cheap) ways to escape the heat. Here are 5 to get you through the rest of this disgusting week.
1) Go see my future wife in Ghostbusters. Don’t believe the trolls. Ghostbusters is a genuinely funny movie that captures the tone of the original but stands alone as a great comedy. Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Kristen Wiig, and Melissa McCarthy have perfect on-screen chemistry and spot-on timing. While you’re sweating out this heat wave in your stuffy apartment, you could be laughing your ass off in an air-conditioned theater.
2) Read a book at the library. [iframe https://giphy.com/embed/DpIynuYHUsZMI allowfullscreen="" class=^{{"giphy-embed"}}^ frameborder="0" height="393" width="750"] When you support your public library, they support you with free air-conditioning and hours of entertainment. Step away from Netflix for an afternoon, and check out some LGBT summer reads or comic books and graphic novels at your local branch. Lingering for hours isn’t just acceptable. It’s encouraged.
3) Pet some pups at the humane society. Considering bringing a tiny furry baby into your life? Go visit some adorable dogs and cats at your local humane society. You don’t have to commit to adoption the same day, but shelter pets can always use some extra love. If you’re not interested in adopting, ask if your humane society is looking for volunteers.
4) Make it a museum day. If you have a museum nearby, whether it’s a tiny town history museum, an LGBT history museum, or a world class art museum, pay it a visit. While massive museums may provide a few more hours of air-conditioned time strolling through exhibits, tiny museums tend to have dedicated staff who love to talk history. Either way, you’ll learn something new and stay out of the heat.
5) Take a journal or your computer to a coffee shop. Ever wondered what all of those people, hunched over their leather bound journals or Mac Book Pros, were working on for hours at a coffee shop? If it’s summer, they’re probably just trying to escape their 90-degree apartment for a few hours. Order an iced coffee and spend the afternoon journaling, browsing your favorite style blogs, or getting some work done without feeling like you’re on fire.
