Good sex is… good! But great sex is even better – that’s why it’s worth trying to combine all seven fantastic sex ingredients into one whole. For sex to succeed, all you need is you, him and so much passion to spark through the air, right? Yes, but passion alone does not arise. Even if you fall on top of each other with lustful eyes, the desire to make love may suddenly disappear, and you still do not understand what has gone wrong. In fact, for sex to be really great, there are seven important aspects to consider. If none of these components are in your relationship, then… we hope you manage to stay good friends.
Consistent body odor
It would probably not be too nice if you smelled the top aroma of this season, but the other one would still use the same eau de toilette that was bought when you first shaved. But much more important is whether your body’s natural scents – pheromones – are consistent. For example, it may happen that a man who has just come out of the shower, in your opinion, does not smell very pleasant. Turns out our fault is our fault. Studies show that couples with similar DNA avoid sexual intercourse because they are unknowingly afraid to have genetically weak offspring. But it can also be that a man who is definitely not in your taste suddenly finds you very sexually attractive – because his body smells different enough from yours, thus guaranteeing that your offspring will be healthy.
Limited time
If you have ever watched porn movies, then you will have noticed that super passionate sex in these movies can last for hours. Most women will probably think that after something like this you can live in blisters. And they are right – because great sex is not a marathon all night long. In fact, we make love for an average of 7 to 13 minutes. And according to a US study, most women (and men) are satisfied with sex that lasts at least three minutes, while if love lasts longer than 15 minutes, then sex is already starting to get tiring. So tell your friend that in this case, quality is really more important than quantity.
Sense of humor
Each of us knows the importance of a good sense of humor in relationships with friends. The same goes for the bedroom. When it comes to sex, a sense of humor can be crucial. For example, his obscene jokes may make you laugh not at what you say, but at yourself, or his silly replicas may not seem funny to you at all. what is it about, isn’t it? And if a woman claims that her new boyfriend is very nice, only he does not have a good sense of humor, he is actually fooling himself.
Time for everyone for themselves
When you are just in love, sex is usually very passionate and you want to spend every free moment together. But over time, being together all the time can start to seem claustrophobic – and it can also have a negative effect on your sex life. Psychotherapist Estere Perilla, author of the book Mating in Captivity (Harper Paperbacks, 2007), recommends scheduling time without each other, not immediately revealing all your hidden sexual fantasies to your partner, and developing your own interests. This way you will both feel like individuality, not as an appendage to each other.
Eye contact
Quite a few couples, whose period of love is already behind them, look less and less into each other’s eyes. However, eye contact is not only important for your out-of-bed communication. It can also turn sex into a very special adventure because non-verbal communication is one of the most important aspects in bed. Eye contact can also stimulate the release of the happiness hormone oxytocin in the brain, which will give your relationship much more softness and intimacy. According to research at the University of Stirling and Aberdeen, prolonged out-of-bed sighting almost eight times increases your attractiveness to the opposite sex. It’s worth keeping an eye on!
Money
No one is saying that fantastic sex with a man who is in financial difficulties is not possible, but research has shown that women who make love to rich men are more likely to reach orgasm. Quite honestly. “For women, the incidence of orgasms increases in proportion to a man’s income,” said Thomas Paul, a psychologist at Newcastle University in the UK. “By choosing materials to provide a man, we subconsciously show our desire for stability,” he says. It is possible that rich men are simply more confident both in business and giving you pleasure in bed. In any case, the choice of sexual partners according to their income may not be quite correct – but scientists should not argue with them.
X factor
This is the most mysterious aspect of sex, others also call it the chemistry of feelings, but in any case, it is one of the most important components of sex. If you lack it in your relationship, then you may have very good sex, you may have an orgasm, but you will never have the fantastic feeling that you are like in the seventh heaven. The X factor doesn’t depend on how much you like each other – he may find you very sexually attractive at first, but over time, sex becomes mediocre, and it both disappoints you. The chemistry of feelings is something that cannot be expressed in words – when his most imperceptible touch can drive you crazy. You may not even be in love with each other. You may not even know each other’s names – either it’s between you or not.
