Mistakes And Misconceptions On Sex
The most common mistake that most couples commit that makes their sexual activities uninteresting is because they always expect sex every time to be that mind-blowing which is not a reality most of the time. When sex becomes such a routine and there is no room for twists, creative styles and techniques, it physically becomes boring and such a chore to do.
Plus, there is the fact that most people have such high expectations from their partners during sexual intercourse and when the passion and sensations they anticipate or expect are not met then the sexual act now creates feelings of disappointment and anxiety. This is most especially applicable for those who are trying sex for the first time or are trying it with a different partner and they make such unrealistic expectations. If you have experienced wild, you can’t expect it to be like this every time. Sex has its different cycles and tempos. There’s the slow sensual sex and on the extreme you have the wild quickies for the spur of the moment urges.
The whole sexual act is not only about the intercourse. You also have your foreplay, your oral sex and there is even manual stimulation with the use of the hand or the fingers. You can always work around these for some excitement and change in your usual sexual routine.
While there is nothing wrong to watch a pornographic video to help arouse your sexual desires, most couples make the mistake of using this instead of relying on each other to sexually arouse the other. You can always use your own moves and your own body to stimulate your partner instead of depending on x-rated videos. Not everything on porn is actually satisfying in bed so try not to follow everything on it. Remember that they are sexual fantasies and actors are portraying them for you.
Sex would be more exciting if partners try to explore themselves what gives pleasure to the other. Also, try not to compare your sexual experiences in the past with your current one. Everyone has his or her own unique style of feeling pleasure and of giving it. Be creative and play along.
Sex – The Best Prescription For Good Health
Sex in a loving is the best prescription for good health. It keeps you young, keeps your sexual organs in good working order, and it boosts your self-confidence. In women, for example, the sexual act triggers the release of oxytocin. Oxytocin promotes feelings of affection and triggers that nurturing instinct. In men, sex encourages the flow of testosterone, which strengthens bones and muscles and helps transport DHEA, a hormone that may be important in the function of the body’s immune system.
Paul Pearsall, Ph.D., author of Superimmunity, also maintains that sex in a loving relationship helps the immune system by increasing the flow of certain chemicals in the body.
Hugh O’Neill, editor of Men’s Health magazine, recently listed some health benefits of sex, as well. Regular sex is regular exercise and has similar benefits, including improved cholesterol levels and increased circulation. Men’s Health also reported that men who have sex at least three times each week may have a decreased risk of developing prostate problems.
Sex, like exercise, releases endorphins. Endorphins contribute to the runner’s high and diminishes pain levels.
An active sex life may help us live longer, too. Dr. David Weeks, a clinical neuropsychologist at Scotland’s Royal Edinburgh Hospital, conducted a study of 3,500 people ranging in age from 18 to 102. Weeks concluded that sex actually slows the aging process.
Sexual therapists remind us that frequent sex is a form of exercise. And feeling secure in a relationship leads to feeling happier, which could lead to greater health–and a younger look.
In fact, these studies indicate that intimacy plays a key role in the health benefits of sex. A promiscuous sexual relationship may actually produce an opposite effect by introducing a sense of anxiety and fear.
In spite of all these health benefits and the sheer pleasure of the act, Americans may still need a boost. At least one-third of American couples report “inhibited sexual desire,” according to The Masters and Johnson Institute.
In summation, sex is good for you health in terms of the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, menstrual cramps, acts as a laxative, burns calories, keeps your organs healthy, acts as an anti-depressant, a mild sedative, can stimulate creativity, concentration, reduce stress,…and it feels great!
