Ten Sex Questions
The
Most Common Sex Questions & Answers
|
Am
I Normal?
Most
people want to know if their sexual desires, fantasies,
responses and bodies are within the norm. People want to
feel that they are somehow not some freak of nature for
wanting the things they do or having sex in the way they
do. The truth is that there is no such thing as normal.

When
Alfred Kinsey did his studies
on human sexuality, he found that after all of the thousands of
sex histories he had taken from people that everyone is different.
We have this false perception that most people can fall into a
general category of what the majority of people are doing or the
way that they look.
We
should stop asking the question of whether or not we are normal
and start asking ourselves if the behaviors we exhibit sexually
serve us. Do they make us feel good physically? Do they empower
us? After
all, the real issue that may need attention is embracing your
inner most desires.
The
only time there really should be concern is when we are doing
something that causes harm to ourselves or others. Celebrating
our unique approach to sex and life is one of the great
parts of being human.
How Often Do Most People Have Sex?
While research
has shown that most married couples have sex once or twice a week
that does not mean it should be the norm for you. Studies have
also shown that issues such as travel, illness, pregnancy and
stress can interfere with the number of times that couples have
sex.
The real question
is how often would you like to be having sex? Then working with
your significant other achieve your mutual goals. If they differ
from you, communicate in a loving and respect manner with one
another to see if you can compromise.
How Do I Tell My Partner What I Want Sexually?
The first
step is checking to see if your partner is psychic or a mind reader.
If they are not, then you really should let them know! The best
way to do it is to word everything in a proactive manner. Being
positive will make all the difference in the world.
For example:
"Honey,
I love that you give me oral sex, it is something I really enjoy.
I was looking at this article the other day about sex techniques
and I would really like us to try something when we do it again."
"You
know sweetie, I love hearing your voice, it just turns me on so
much. I think if you talked dirty to me during sex, it would make
me go even more wild."
Why Have I Lost My Sex Drive?
A low sex
drive can be caused from a variety of things from health issues,
prescription medicine, stress levels.
- The first
thing to do it to visit your doctor to rule out physical issues
and tell them about it. Your doctor will need to know this in
order to determine what may be causing it if it is physical.
- Make sure
that you're getting enough sleep, exercising, and eating healthy
as these things do impact sex drive as well.
- Then look
at your stress levels: If your responsibilities are overwhelming
you, ask for help wherever you can. There is no need to take
on everything yourself.
- If you
have financial stressors, contact a financial advisor at your
bank for help or schedule a family meeting to talk about ways
you can budget.
- You can
also illicit the help of a therapist or clergy person for advice
to help reduce your stress levels.
- Take time
out for yourself and your lover. Do something small that will
help you connect with your sensual side. A sexy bubble bath,
a massage even a date for a romantic dinner. It may sound trite
but it is through our every day behavior that we are inspired
for celebrating our sexuality.
My Partner Was Unfaithful How Do I Move On?
If you have
decided to stay in your relationship, you may be relieved to know
that it is possible to repair a relationship after an affair.
Here are some tips-
- Your partner
must cease all communication with the person that they have
had the affair with so that there is a solid break.
- Your partner
must be completely honest about the affair, although it is not
advised to share sexual details as this may do more damage than
good.
- It is also
a good idea to get a therapist so that they can help you to
move on but also address issues that may have contributed to
the affair in the first place.
- Your partner
should allow you time to vent and not judge you for your pain.
The more they can validate your feelings, the easier it will
be for you to feel understood and supported. You may want to
limit the amount of time you allow yourself to vent your pain,
however, as harping on the person constantly will not contribute
to healing. Allowing for 10-15 minutes every day once you decide
to move forward is a good place to start. It will allow you
to express your feelings about where you are emotionally while
not bombarding them with guilt.
How Do I Tell My Partner My Sexual Fantasies?
One
of the best times to share fantasies is when the two of you can
just talk such as just before bed. Don't wait until you are having
sex to share... rather, when the two of you take a walk or have
dinner. This will give you time to plan and will even motivate
you to get back in the bedroom.
When you share
your fantasies, be sure to tell your partner how they can be a
part of it. For example, if you had a fantasy of Star Wars when
you were younger, you could suggest that perhaps you could dress
of as Leah and they could dress up a Han Solo or vice versa. You
can also make it vague such as the Boss & the Secretary or
the House Wife & the Repair Guy. Having time where you both
get creative can make for a youthful fervor on the bedroom.
How Do We Make Time For Sex?
The
truth is we all know how to make time for sex, the real question
is how do I make sex a priority to me again? We tend to forget
that when we neglect ourselves through our health, including our
sexual health other things start to do poorly. Our emotional state,
health, relationship, etc. We must see sex as a priority to see
it as something worth taking time for in order to truly answer
this question. The bottom line is that if you are really busy,
but there is something that you value and feel is very important
in your life then you will find a way to make time for it and
sex is no different. Simply make it a priority.
How Do We Get Out Of A Sexual Rut?
As
hard a question as this may seem, the answer is simple. Start
flirting with one another again. When you find yourself not excited
for one another, the best way out is to start courting one another
without sex. Say something sexy to your partner without trying
to get them to have sex with you. For example, if you are at the
grocery store and walking down an aisle with your partner, slide
your hand down their ass and whisper to them how much you love
it. Little things like that go a long way. It comes down to priorities
as do all things. If you want to get some excitement back in your
sex life, make the effort to do creative things, even if it is
to be playful with one another. Have a tickle fight, play with
their hair, hold their hand... it is truly the little things that
count. Build emotional playfulness and passion and the sex will
come.
Is Prostate Massage Good For Men?
Yes, it is
pleasurable, it reduces the chance of prostate cancer and it does
not in anyway signify homosexual tendencies. Rather, all men are
designed to enjoy it as the prostate is simply the male version
of the gspot. Read More
How Do We Start Using Sex Toys In The Bedroom?
If
you have never used a sex toy with your partner, it can feel quite
intimidating and strange. For those who are beginners, we highly
recommend getting a wand massager
as they can be used for general massage and also as a sex toy.
Start off with a relaxing massage and move into sex play as a
way to make it less intimidating.
Make
sure to communicate with one another about what you like and don't
like and try using the sex toy in different positions. For example,
a woman can just as easily have the vibrator stimulating her clitoris
while her partner penetrates her vaginally to stimulate her gspot.
This can be achieved easily through the missionary position, doggie
style and other sex positions.
The
second type of sex toy that we recommend are vibrating
rings, which can be used on a dildo or penis. These can provide
double and even triple stimulation opportunities during sexual
intercourse and can be used by themselves for penis, clitoral
and nipple stimulation. They are another great and inexpensive
way to try out a sex toy in the bedroom.
