  • How to determine if your date wants a relationship or just sex?

    How to determine if your date wants a relationship or just sex?

    When it comes to dating, the intentions of your potential partner are often shrouded in secrecy. And while the cornerstone of any stable relationship is clear and honest communication, some choose to postpone talking about future for as long as possible. Have you ever wondered if your date wants a relationship or just sex? Scientists say it’s easy: what a man wants is in his eyes.

    According to researchers at the University of Chicago, you can reveal whether he wants a relationship or sex just by trackins his eye movements. Scientists claim that in just half a second, human brain makes an immediate judgment about others based solely on a person’s appearance. If your date’s intentions are to have sex, his eyes will be more likely to linger around your body. However, if he is interested in a romantic relationship and love, he will most likely focus on your face.

    Some will probably wonder, “Aren’t these things interconnected? How can scientists determine this if, for example, man has not yet decided what he wants? ” That is a good question.

    That study (and others) found that while love and sexual desire are of course intertwined, they use “different networks of brain regions” to process the two feelings.

    The researchers conducted an experiment in which subjects were asked to view photos of attractive people they had never met in their lives. They were then asked to decide as soon as possible whether the particular photo was of romantic or sexual interest. They found no difference in how long it took to identify possible love and lust: both seemed to be immediate reactions. But it was found that the choice was directly related to where the participants looked – at the face of the person or the rest of the body.

    So if you’re trying to understand your dates intentions, try to look him in the eyes. Try to understand how (and where) he looks to see if his goal is lust or love.

  • Research reveals why there is a lack of spark in your intimate life

    Research reveals why there is a lack of spark in your intimate life

    It is natural for a person’s sex life to change depending on different conditions: stress, pregnancy, childbirth, children and many other reasons. However, these are not the only reasons. What do you have to do every day to keep a spark in your intimate life? Researchers point to a very important factor – sleep.

    It turns out that it is because of poor sleep that women most often experience sexual dysfunction. So everything is very simple – if you do not sleep well, your sex life will suffer. A study from North America found that women who slept poorly were twice as likely to report problems such as lack of sexual interest or pleasure than those who slept enough on a daily basis.

    “This study highlights the link between poor sleep and sexual dysfunction. These are the two most common problems for middle-aged women that could improve their quality of life,” said Stephanie Faubion, the author of this study.

    Good sleep quality is associated with normal sexual activity. That shouldn’t come as a surprise, should it? If a tired woman has to choose between sex or sleep, it is natural that sleep will be the first choice. However, if you have enough rest, you will most likely want to have sex.

    And sex can also help improve sleep quality. “Most women enjoy better sleep after indulging in sexual activity as the body releases hormones, including oxytocin and prolactin, after an orgasm,” says Wayne Ross, sleep researcher and adviser at InsideBedroom.

    These hormones provide a feeling of satisfaction and relaxation, reduce the levels of the hormone cortisol, which causes stress, and increases the desire to sleep.

    Lack of sleep can reduce the amount of hormones responsible for arousal

    According to experts, sleep is essential for the release and regulation of hormones, including hormones that are responsible for sexual function and libido.

    “Sleep is essential for hormone release and regulation, [including] the hormones responsible for sexual function and libido,”  Chelsie Rohrscheib, PhD, lead neuroscientist and sleep specialist at Tatch, says. “Reduced sex hormones and increased stress hormones can majorly impact sex drive.”

    She explains that sexual desire is regulated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and high-quality sleep is essential for it to function properly.

    “When we lose sleep, not only does the ANS not function as efficiently as it should, but we also raise our stress levels, which triggers our nervous system to enter survival mode. When we’re in survival mode, one of the first bodily functions to get sidelined is sexual desire and arousal,” she adds.

    What can you do to improve your sleep and your sex life at the same time?

    Chelsie Rohrscheib says a strict sleep schedule is required every night, even on holidays. It is also recommended to create a bedtime routine that will help you relax: it can be reading, listening to music, meditating or taking a bath.

    Avoid screens before bedtime and stop taking caffeine for six hours before bedtime. Sleep 7-9 hours every night. “Science has consistently shown that getting less than seven hours of sleep has many detrimental effects on the brain and body,” Rohrscheib adds.

  • How does exercise affect intimate life?

    How does exercise affect intimate life?

    Did you know that active exercise can improve your sex life? Therefore, if you like sex, daily exercise should not be postponed. Here are some reasons to go to the gym tomorrow or even now!

    Exercising affects a woman’s orgasm

    Women who exercise actively can experience a more intense orgasm and reach it faster. Researchers from the University of Texas (USA) performed the following experiment: After doing a cardio workout, the participants watched a 20-minute erotic video. It was found that those who exercise daily felt much more aroused than those who did not. In addition, endurance exercises and dancing are known to help a woman’s body produce testosterone, which plays a key role in stimulating a woman’s libido and achieving orgasm.

    Sensitivity

    Researchers at the University of Texas have also found that sports make a woman more sensitive. Exercising in particular promote better blood flow to the clitoris, which has about 8,000 nerve endings.

    Excitement

    Regular exercise raises testosterone and growth hormone levels, and these hormones play an important role in increasing libido. To do this, you should practice pilates or attend workouts with TRX elements. You will soon notice that sports improve both your and your partner’s sex life.

    Exercising helps reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction

    Intense exercise promotes better blood circulation in the genital area and reduces the risk of erectile dysfunction. Studies show that physically active men over the age of 50 are less prone to impotence than men who do not engage in sports. Researchers say that even a daily 30-minute walk may reduce the risk of developing erectile dysfunction.

    Improves sperm quality

    If you want your partner’s sperm quality to improve, you should encourage him to exercise at least 15 hours a week. This is especially important if a woman is planning to become pregnant.

    Satisfaction with the looks

    A person who engages in daily physical activity is often more relaxed and confident in bed because he or she is more satisfied with his/her body. In addition, sportiness can sometimes affect other people’s perceptions of us, but it is more a matter of taste.

  • Bad blowjob – the main mistakes women make during oral sex

    Bad blowjob – the main mistakes women make during oral sex

    So how exactly is a perfect blowjob performed? And what is a bad blowjob? What methods to use and in what positions to do it? Today advice can be found on almost anything, such as how to imitate a “deepthroat” if a woman is not really ready to “swallow” a penis as deeply as he would most likely want to. Everything has its basic principles, which are often forgotten – and as a result, the partner receives much less pleasure or does not receive it at all.

    You focus only on the head of the penis

    The head of the penis is very sensitive. But if you work around it for too long, it loses its sensitivity and the senses become dull. Therefore, it is useful to focus on something else too. The penis itself is also sensitive, especially the upper third. And despite the fact that the sensitivity of the rest of it is not too high, most men appreciate it if a woman can perform deep oral sex by taking the whole penis in her mouth. But even if you do not intend to do so, it is useful to pay attention to all of his thing, licking it from the bottom up and vice versa.

    You are not paying attention to his balls

    They have many sensitive areas. Not all men know this, because they usually don’t touch their balls during masturbation. The scrotum can be caressed both by hand and by mouth. It is important to moisten it thoroughly with saliva, as moisture will quickly turn into a dryness – and this can be unpleasant.

    You do it too fast

    It is believed that a man is always ready for sex. But is he really? They also need adjustment – both psychological and physiological – and time to prepare. Therefore, oral sex should not start too soon and end too suddenly. A separate question is whether to let the man finish in your mouth. Not all women like this. If you are not ready to complete this process, it is a good idea to notify your partner in advance and offer him other options.

    Bad blowjob is too intense

    If you want to lead a man to orgasm as soon as possible, it won’t end well. Blowjob will be mechanical and will not be much different from his own masturbation. Your man will start to think that the process is unpleasant for you and that you just want it to end sooner. He may also feel that you are not enjoying it, but simply doing your job. If you ask – what’s wrong that? Well, men also want not only to be satisfied, but also to feel like objects of lust. Therefore, it is important for a man to receive various assurances that a woman wants him and that she is aroused too.

    Too repetitious

    Sex involves not only our physiology, but also attention and imagination. If the same thing happens all the time, the ability to concentrate is lost and the senses become dull (according to the natural laws of the nervous system). Simple back and forth movements are not enough – after all, a man can provide them for himself with his hand. Therefore, it is important to switch, involving different erogenous zones, varying and inventing new techniques. Balance is important: the movements must be changed, but not too often, so that the received impulses have enough time to add up.

    You are too tense

    Any pleasure, even an oral one, is not an exam. When a woman is tense, both she and her partner feel that she is going to do something complicated, difficult or even unpleasant. (The gag reflex is sometimes caused by insufficient relaxation.) So, first of all, relax the muscles of your body, face and neck. First of all create a comfortable environment and a pleasant mood for yourself.

    Hiding your fafacial expressions

    There is a popular saying – “Women love with their ears and men with their eyes.” Indeed, many men get a significant portion of their enjoyment not only from the feelings but also from the view that opens up to them. Therefore, it is useful to let him see what your face looks like during oral sex.

    You are too quiet

    The fact that men are visual does not mean that they are indifferent to sounds. Moand, sighs and admiration are what make them realize: you like what you do. He does not want to think that you are forcing yourself to do it just for his pleasure.

    Not enjoying the process

    Sex is a mutual pleasure. And if one of the partners does it without joy, the other will definitely notice it. Mutual enjoyment is especially important in long-term relationship. What to do? One option is to pretend you enjoy it, but it’s much better to learn to really enjoy it.

    Sekss.lv Bad blowjob - the main mistakes women make during oral sex

    You can learn to show and feel pleasure. Can you imagine something that you didn’t like at first, but when you got to know the nuances, you liked it? For example, the taste of wine, jazz music or the Renaissance painting? In the same way you can dig into the complexity of the male genitals. You can fall in love with everything – start admiring it, how harmoniously everything is arranged down there, how exactly its shape corresponds to the intended purpose, how sensitive a man reacts to your interest and touches.

    Improve your technique. Your growing skills and the responsiveness of your partner will give you more and more satisfaction.

    While pleasing your partner, please yourself with a vibrator or your fingers (men like to watch a woman satisfy themselves), or choose the possition where your clitoris can rub against his leg, or allow your partner to please you.

  • Confession of an escort girl: Student during the day, sex worker at night

    Confession of an escort girl: Student during the day, sex worker at night

    She is barely over twenty and she looks like any other college student. She is beautiful, dressed in torn jeans and sneakers – passers-by would never think that she is working as an escort girl. She works for a high-end escort agency, earning more money in one evening than most students earn in one month. After just five minutes of conversation, you can see how intelligent she is – she is knowledgeable about current political and economic issues – not what one would expect from a stereotypical sex worker. (See also: Confession of an escort girl: “I categorize my clients”).

    “First of all I am ‘myself’ and only then I am an ‘escort girl,” she says. “I do my job because I like it. Of course, working in the sex industry is still very stigmatized, so I usually don’t tell anyone about it, but many have such a misconception about what it really means to be an escort girl. For the most part, my job doesn’t involve having sex at all. ” She gladly agreed to talk to me about her experience in this somewhat unusual field of work.

    How did you decide to start doing it?

    I thought about this for quite some time. I wanted something that would give me adrenaline. It seemed to me that my life was very ordinary, as if I could live like that anywhere else in the world. I wanted something more, something more interesting that would excite me. I ‘googled’ this topic and found different options. I don’t want to become a full-time escort, so for me, working for an agency is the best option because I have the support of other girls and my boss who does all the security checks.

    What was your first experience?

    After talking to my current boss, I was given a “test drive”. I met my first client in one of the most luxurious hotels in Riga. Honestly, since I met him, I have never regretted my choice. I had a great evening and since then I have met a lot of interesting people and had a really interesting experience.

    Do your parents or any of your friends know where you work?

    No, my parents have no idea, and I sincerely hope that it will stay that way. I’m afraid to even imagine what my mother would say!

    When I started, I told three of my closest friends, and they have been very supportive – they understand and respect my choice. I’ve told a few more people, but I don’t advertise it too much.

    Do you tend to get nervous before meeting a customer?

    Oh yes! Every time I go to a meeting, I pray to God. I know, I know, it sounds funny, but it’s my way to relax, calm down. I’m always nervous, but in a good way, it’s more like a pleasant excitement and anticipation.

    At first, I was often worried that something would happen to me in terms of security, but now I realize that these men are actually taking a lot more risks than I am. All the trump cards are in the hands of the girls: we say the final word in any decision, and if we think the customer is suspicious, we can blacklist him! I communicate with my boss both before and after the meeting, so everything is very safe and structured. But yes, there is always excitement before each new meeting!

    Who are your typical customers? Why do these men pay to meet an escort girl?

    My average client is about 40 years old, married, usually with children who may not be so much younger than me. They are usually successful owners or managers of large companies, including doctors or lawyers, mostly from the scientific field. Different countries, careers and religions. I don’t think that I would have met so many different people in my real life.

    When it comes to why they pay for sex, most of my clients got married in their youth, and they all have to travel a lot for work. It is a very lonely life, so they often pay for a girl with whom they can simply spend time, indulge in intimacy and friendship because they lack it in their personal lives.

    What do you like about your job?

    Meeting really interesting people. Seriously! I meet so many different people. And I usually have a great time. I like the dynamics because no one blames anyone. Neither he nor I are in a position to condemn each other.

    Is there anything you don’t like?

    Yes, of course, as in any other job. Sometimes I have clients who ask me to dress “sexy” because they want to take me out, take me shopping or do something else. They want to appear in public, although it is clear to everyone that this man is much older than me. In situations like this, people just know I’m an escort, and I find that very uncomfortable.

    Another thing that sometimes seems very difficult is to constantly listen to other people’s problems. I’m like a bubble of trust for them. Of course, they are allowed to share their personal problems with me. I like to try to help people, but other times listening to their problems seriously affects my mood.

    Describe a good escort girl?

    Good escort girl will always make her client feel free, relaxed, will not cause unnecessary tension. For the most part, it’s not really sex at all – it’s talking to people. My agency is particularly focused on keeping escort girls educated and intelligent. You have to be able to listen and you really have to take care of this person. My job is much more that just sex.

    What’s the weirdest thing anyone has asked you to do?

    I got tied up once; it was funny. In general, most of my clients have no particular fetishes. My second client made me wear a leather dress, he blinded my eyes and handcuffed me to his bed. I thought we’re going to have sex, but he just gave me a not-so-good massage. That was all. We didn’t even have sex.

    What has this work experience given you?

    Oh, very much! Ever since I started working as an escort girl, I have learned more about people and human nature than ever before, and that has taught me to read people. I don’t know how to describe it, but now I can just look at the man and know exactly what he wants. I have also learned a lot about myself. I don’t think it has changed me much, but it makes me think differently about things like sex, relationships and love.

    I have to ask: how much do you earn?

    I earn 300 euros an hour. On average, I earn 1,300 a week. If I wanted to, I could work every night and earn a lot more, but that would no longer be normal. For a person who has not yet graduated, it is too much.

    What do you think is the most common stereotype associated with working in the sex industry?

    That they are forced to do it, that women do not enjoy it and that everything is only about sex. I know that if this interview took place with someone in another field of the sex industry, these things I have mentioned could be true, but the work of high-class escort girls is certainly more about friendship and communication than sex, and most girls who do it, do it out of experience and not just for money. And no one is forcing us to do so, it is our own choice.

    There is still a lot of prejudice. Have you had any negative experiences for this reason? What do you think about prejudice against sex workers?

    In my opinion, it seems completely unnatural to many people that a woman really enjoys sex and wants to become an escort girl or a prostitute of her own free will. Although the money is very, very good – much more than we could ever hope to earn at this age in any other profession, many of us do it because of the experience and satisfaction we receive. I can say from the bottom of my heart that I really like it.

  • Signs that she is not happy with your sex life

    Signs that she is not happy with your sex life

    Do you feel that your partner has been responding rather slowly to your sexual intentions lately? Sexologists explain that communication is the foundation of a great intimate life. However, if you start talking about this topic right after sex, she may feel compelled to protect your feelings, claiming that everything is fine, when in fact your sexual routine as a couple has become boring and frustrating for her. There are several signs that your loved one is not happy with your sex life. What are they and what can be done about it?

    Excuses, excuses

    Everyone experiences periods when they do not feel particularly in mood. This can be due to many factors: stress at work, loss of confidence, hormonal changes, depressed mood or simply exhaustion. However, it may be that she just finds sex life boring, so she has found other priorities.

    It doesn’t matter to her if she has an orgasm

    Statistics show that women take an average of about 20 minutes to reach a climax. If she thinks that an orgasm is not worth 20 minutes of sex because the sex itself has become boring, there is a reason to worry. If you feel like she’s completely ignoring the fact that she didn’t had an orgasm during your last intimate session, and this happens more than once, it can give your lady apathy about sex, and it’s definitely time for both of you to make some changes in bed.

    She prefers to masturbate rather than make love to you

    Clearly, masturbation is not a negative phenomenon. But if masturbating becomes a higher priority than having sex with you, you will have problems in the long run. How to change it? A woman who knows how to do it without you will have a lot of information to share about how you can make her happy. Use it! One way is to ask her to show you how she does it. If she starts masturbating and watching porn, ask her to show you some clips and tell her exactly what she likes in them. And all you have to do is put theory into practice.

    She criticizes you daily

    While she may not want to discuss your performance in bed, she may be criticizing other aspects of your life. Maybe she criticizes your appearance, the way you do your work, or the way you do things at home. Increased nervousness and criticism can be directly related to sex life. Pay special attention if your lady starts comparing you to her ex-partners. Don’t be offended, talk to her and act to improve the situation!

    She teaches you how to move during sex

    When a woman knows what she wants and what she likes in the bedroom, it is only but great. However, if she often begins to control your moves and what you are doing, it may indicate that you are not listening to her wishes. If it seems that she is teaching you from the very first movement, you may not be aware of what is happening. Learn how to turn your wife into a sex goddess and try to really listen to what she says.

    She thinks about other stuff during sex

    At best, sex is an activity that has no past or no future – it’s just thoughts, emotions and feelings that travel through your nervous system at that moment. It will never happen like that if you will think about the list of things to do during the day. If you sometimes feel like she’s out of time during sex, it’s possible that your sex life will need a new spark.

    She avoids physical contact

    If you make a woman feel satisfied, she will want to be near you and will want to touch you. However, if you focus solely on getting your pleasure or your performance is dim, she will rather turn to the other side and fall asleep after sex than hug you.

    She is really unhappy

    A woman is sexually dissatisfied if she does not find sex pleasurable, engaging or inspiring. Over time, she will want less and less sex. Dissatisfaction arises when she wants sex to be different, but it doesn’t. Sometimes a sexually dissatisfied woman thinks it’s because her partner is doing something or not doing something in the bedroom. And so it can be. Sometimes she thinks it’s because she’s not sexy enough. And it is definitely not so! Sometimes she thinks it’s because you’re not doing well as a couple. It can also be part of the truth.

    What to do about it?

    It is important for men to keep in mind that sex and intimacy can be two different things. It has been scientifically proven that intimacy is much more necessary for women than for men. The woman herself should not pretend not to care about sex. Women care about sex. As much as men.

    Talk to your partner and let her know that it is up to you both to develop her sexual satisfaction.

    How can you know what she likes?

    Think about what happens during sex that helps her achieve pleasure? It can be oral sex, a body massage or maybe it’s time for conversation, dancing or dinner together. Sex is, in a way, a game for which both partners are responsible. Do you want your lady to be happy? Then talk to her and act!

  • What is the ideal number of sexual partners in a person’s life?

    What is the ideal number of sexual partners in a person’s life?

    What is the answer to the eternal question of how many sex partners a person usually has in a lifetime? A study by SuperDrug, involving more than 2,000 people in the United States and Europe, asked about sexual habits and found that the average number of sexual partners in a person’s lifetime is lower than many can imagine.

    However, the authors of the study explain that this study should be viewed superficially, as it is not clear what the respondents define as “sexual partners”. However, it’s important to understand that there’s no single exact number of partners for life. It’s a very individual thing that you don’t have to reveal to others unless you want to.

    The number of partners is different for each gender

    The study found that, on average, a woman has seven sexual partners in her lifetime, while a man has about six. And while some may consider these numbers to be small, they are “ideal” for many in the United States. U.S. respondents rated seven as the “most ideal” number of sexual partners a person can have.

    https://www.sickchirpse.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/2fc6d58a-afd0-11e6-ab6d-811b8dc49924-1.jpg

    However, research suggests that these figures may be inaccurate. According to the survey, only 67.4% of women and 58.6% of men have told the truth about the number of their sexual partners. In addition, nowhere in the study is it defined what a “sexual partner” is. As no definition is given and most people, especially those of different genders and sexual identities, define the concept of sex differently, this figure may be even more distorted than we think.

    An insignificant indicator

    People are inherently competitive and want to know if they can keep up with others, so enough people are interested in such research. But it’s important to keep in mind how unimportant this “number of sexual partners” really is. A person’s value does not decrease or increase depending on how many sexual partners they have. As long as you have safe sex, your partner should not care about your sexual past.

    The authors of the SuperDrug survey say that “the number of sexual partners” is a very personal matter and everyone can choose whether or not to reveal it to others. However, it is important to remember that the “ideal” number of your current partner’s former partners is as much as they felt comfortable at that point in their lives. One should not be judged higher or lower solely on the basis of how many times and with whom they have had sex.

  • Tricks that will turn your sex into a very hot game

    Tricks that will turn your sex into a very hot game

    There is so much instructive literature on how to make your life happy, how to attract wealth, or how to stay healthy. But do you know how to spark your sexual experience with the power of thought? Here are five simple tricks that will create a storm of passion in your brain, because, as we know, sex starts in the head (at least for women)!

    Friendly reminder – you love sex!

    “In order to enjoy sex, we must always keep in mind one thing – we like it! You have to be able to admit that you enjoy sex and you want it, not do it, because someone else needs it or you want to go to bed sooner,” says psychologist Tammy Nelson in her book “Getting the Sex You Want.”

    Just as you like red high-heeled shoes, special scents, torn jeans, cherry muffins, dark blue dishes – you have to remind your mind every moment that the word “sex” is on this list – and it ranks quite high!

    “No matter what information you “feed” your mind with, your brain will accept it and respond to that desire,” Nelson said. “So remember that sex is fun, you look great and your partner you like is great too!”

    Don’t be afraid to think dirty!

    You don’t need talk and guidance on what good sex is. “A simple mantra will help you disconnect from everything around you connect with IT! Yes, to do it dirty,” says sexologist Sari Locker in her book “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Amazing Sex”.

    A thought that needs to be repeated before sex: this is my time of pleasure!

    Often, fantasies can help, which start to appear in women’s head while making love. This is normal and even desirable!

    If you want to reach orgasm faster or feel it stronger – such fantasies (especially dirty) are especially useful!

    Triki, kas mīlēšanos pārvērtīs īpaši karstā spēlītē

    Look with eyes wide shut….

    Yes, women often love to have sex with their eyes closed… Maybe this is how they feel touches and smells? Maybe they are a little shy too? Or maybe they only see with their eyes closed what they want to see right now?

    However, ladies, sexologists do not condemn it and even encourage you to fantasize further. “It’s exciting to imagine yourself at the time of an orgasm – what your sexy bite on the lower lip, curls of hair on the pillow, blush on the cheeks, passionate nipples look like,” says psychologist Tammy Nelson. “Look at yourself with your eyes closed – through your mind!”

    Music that reminds

    “Selected music for a special moment is always important! Believe me, if a woman hears Frank Sinatra or something from Beyoncé’s repertoire, she will feel a greater desire to make love than if there is TV in the background or radio news,” says sexologist Sari Locker.

    Often, when we hear a song, we immediately imagine what it would be like to have sex with it. So why just think if it can be done?

    Triki, kas mīlēšanos pārvērtīs īpaši karstā spēlītē

    Smell

    As sexologists emphasize, smell is very important during sex. If your partner smells bad, you may not enjoy it. Also, if your partner is sweaty or just smells – your libido will drop.

    The same goes for brushing your teeth in the morning – morning sex will be much better if you rinse your mouth and your breath is fresh!

    How to fool the mind? Perfume the sheets with your desired aroma, smoke a pleasant incense or light a candle with the smell that excites you.

  • For women who are more likely to have sex, menopause occurs later

    For women who are more likely to have sex, menopause occurs later

    On average, women around the world experience menopause around the age of 50 , but this age also varies depending on the country in which we live. In recent years, scientists have discovered other factors that affect this diversity. Earlier menopause can occur, for example, from regular smoking , and it can also depend on the age at which menstruation begins.

    new study has found that women’s sexual behavior is also linked to menopausal age. An 11-year study found that women who had sex once a week or at least once a month had a later onset of menopause than women who had less than a month of sexual activity.

    Data were collected from 1996 onwards for women aged 42 to 52 years who had not yet experienced menopause. Women were grouped according to whether they had sex every week, every month, or less than once a month. Sexual activities also included oral sex, erotic touches and complacency.

    Other behavioral and physiological factors were also taken into account, such as a woman’s body mass index, number of children born, level of education and estrogen levels.

    The researchers believe that this link is due to the fact that the body experiences a “compromise” between continuing ovulation and stopping fertility. Compromises are important in biology because the amount of energy that the body needs to spend on physiological processes is limited. In other words, energy used for one thing cannot be used for another, and once it is used, it is no more.

    When it comes to menopause, there may come a time in life when the energy invested in ovulation can be better used elsewhere. Especially if there is no possibility that ovulation could cause pregnancy.

    Ovulation requires quite a bit from a woman’s body. Not only does it take a lot of energy to maintain the eggs and release them every month, but the body’s immune function is also impaired during ovulation .

    The whole point of ovulation is that the body is preparing for pregnancy, but if a woman does not have sex at that time, then, of course, it is impossible to conceive a baby.

    So if the body does not receive physical indications of a possible pregnancy, what is the point of investing energy in the expensive ovulation process?

    Therefore, the researchers also chose different types of sexual activity as a criterion, as they are all types of vaginal stimulation that can “fool” the body and make it think about possible pregnancy. This means that menopause can also be a little tricky.

    Positive compromise

    Once ovulation has stopped, energy can be spent elsewhere, such as in grandparents’ activities. This is related to existing research showing that menopause evolved over time to allow women to engage in childcare .

    It is important to emphasize that this study only shows that there is a relationship between sexual activity and menopausal age, but it cannot be said that it is 100% more likely that menopause will occur later with more sex. It must be remembered that there are no processes or medical interventions that can completely prevent menopause – this is an inevitable biological process that all women have to go through.

  • Sex in old age – what is it at 60, 70, 80 years?

    Sex in old age – what is it at 60, 70, 80 years?

    Of course, we use the word old age only to draw attention, because in the 21st century, it is difficult to say exactly when that age will come: 60, 70, or maybe 80 or 90? Life expectancy and quality of life are increasing: men and women of all ages want to be active for as long as possible in a wide range of areas of life, including sex. It is not customary to talk about it out loud, but still… Yes, people also have sex in old age .

    Let’s start with the main thing – sex in old age is! It is very likely that the relationship between you will become much more intimate and open. However, with all our bodies, there will be some changes, as we will only have to adapt.

    Let’s start with an orgasm

    If you are worried about orgasm, then do not worry, because people can maintain this feeling until old age, but it will probably be a little harder to get it, and it is for several reasons: medication, self-doubt, hormonal changes .

    Women need more time to get aroused and stay aroused, and sometimes more intense and lasting stimulation is needed. The orgasm itself is not so stormy, it is because the muscles relax with age. However, muscles can be strengthened with exercise, and they will also help fight urinary incontinence. 

    Assistive products – lubricants

    An extra lubricant is simply needed if you want sex to be enjoyable. With menopause, estrogen levels fall , which usually leads to vaginal dryness. Even when a woman is aroused, the moisture is much less than it is at a young age.

    The same estrogen that provides moisture also gives the skin elasticity, but losing it means a loss of this elasticity – a woman’s vagina is no longer so strong and the muscles relax. Fortunately, there is a wide range of lubricants available today, as in your old age your sex life may not be as sad as you think.

    Not just vaginal sex

    Traditional vaginal sex can be much less pleasurable for both you and your partner. About 44% of men between the ages of 65 and 85 have erection problems. It becomes not only a physical but also an emotional problem. As the erection loses, so does the self-confidence.

    Most older men suffer not only from erectile dysfunction but also from erectile dissatisfaction, especially in smokers and diabetics. This means that the mechanism of the erection itself changes after the age of 50. A male member cannot become hard just from fantasies, it needs direct exposure. Unfortunately, even small distractions can ‘set the mood’ .

    One way or another, but as men get older, their erections relax because the blood circulation is less intense, but men’s testosterone levels fall. On the other hand, for a woman, the insertion of a member into the vagina may not be so pleasant due to the lack of flexibility. The good news: there are alternatives to vaginal sex.

    You will have to consider changing poses

    Let’s acknowledge the fact that changes in the genital area are not the only thing that awaits you. Pain in the joints or back may interfere with having sex in postures that seem comfortable today. It may be much harder to squat on your knees, while the missionary posture for men can be difficult.

    In conclusion, despite the fact that our bodies and thoughts change with age, we should not focus only on the bad. Of course, you have to adapt to everything new, but you have every opportunity to live a happy and sexually fulfilled life.
