Five Wrong Reasons To Have Sex

Sex is meant to be a thing of consent and there shouldn’t be a wrong reason to engage in it. but this is not the case sometimes some people have sex other than the reason to feel happy and sexual satisfaction with their partners which is totally wrong. Let’s identify some wrong reasons people have sex:

I felt like I owed the person
Have you ever felt like this before? Probably the person might have helped you with the year’s rent, paid off your college debt, bought you that exotic house, or probably have taken you out to the loveliest dinner outing and you felt the best way to show appreciation is to give them intense orgasm. That’s a wrong reason to have sex. There are other ways to show appreciation, and most times a big smile, hug and thank you will be enough. Sex is meant for those who really want it as much as the other party does.

I wanted to have something to tell my friends
Call it peer pressure, but this pressure does not only involve teenagers. Some adults still feel that way especially if they are celibate or they’ve not gotten good loving in a long time. That stare they get from their friends when they hear sex has not been on the priority list for a long time might make them jump into bed with any stranger that is willing to do so. And the aftermath psychological effect could be depression and low self-esteem. Protect yourself and avoid getting into such situation.

I was under the influence of drugs
This is a terrible reason to have sex. When you are under the influence, it could make it all dangerous because you probably wouldn’t know who you are having sex with or if you are having safe sex and this could lead to sexually transmitted infections and sexually transmitted diseases. Taking drugs is bad and could put your life at risk; having unsafe sex is bad for sexual health.

I was coerced into it
This could be a scenario where you make the biggest mistake of your life to crash with a friend or colleague purely because you wanted to hang out with them; but then, hanging out turns to a long session of a plea for sex. You try and resist for a few hours, but when you realize you are not going to get a good night sleep, you give in for the sake of peace. Or, you just got into that new relationship, and it is not up to a week before the new guy or girl in your life starts pestering you for sex and you give in because you do not want to lose the relationship. Walking away would have been the best option in both scenarios. People should not coerce you into doing what you don’t want.

I was physically forced into it
This is in all shades of rape! If you’ve ever had such encounter, ensure that you report to the appropriate authorities. You should not feel ashamed to do so. To avoid getting yourself in this situation, be very observant of your environment, try not to get too close or comfortable to someone you have no feelings for. And, always have your pepper spray in your purse.

What To Do If Your Penis Is Sore?

Having a sore penis is not something unusual and almost every man experiences this problem every once in a while. One of the main reasons for this Is excessive use or improper use. If you are in a situation like this and you have to deal with a sore penis, this doesn’t mean that your libido is weakened and you are probably aware of that. It is also true that it takes some time before the penis gets back in its natural state. This period of time usually lasts for a few days. However, sometimes even one day can mean a lot in the sex life of some men and they simply can’t miss this opportunity to have sex. So, what can they do if they find themselves in situations like this? Is there a solution? We will now provide a few tips that will help you learn what do if your penis is sore.

To start with, don’t forget that getting adequate rest is the most convenient and most appropriate solution for sore penis. So, if you can avoid sexual activities for a few days that would be the best option. In case you’ve got sore penis due to a surgery or other similar intervention or problem, it is crucial to restrain your sexual desire and focus on something else. Of course, there are situations when the soreness is regular and not so serious, but it is still the best idea to get some rest. As we have mentioned before, there are times in our life when we have a sore penis, but we simply can’t miss the chance to have sex.

If you find yourself in this unpleasant situation, you can make it more pleasant by wearing a condom. This is probably the practice that most men follow even if everything is fine there in case they are in an open relationship or just have casual sex. It is good to point out that condoms don’t provide complete protection, but they are the best way to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. It seems that condoms are also helpful in cases of sore penis. You will still notice the soreness, but it want be so intense. At the same time you will still enjoy sex. The use of condom is not recommended only during sex. If you have a sore penis you should use a condom even when you are masturbating. This is a good way to reduce friction and save yourself from extra soreness.

Although conventional vaginal sex is the most popular type of sex for men, if you have a sore penis you can try oral sex. As a matter of fact, oral sex can provide hydration and ease the discomfort.

Finally, you can also ask your partner to stimulate your penis, but you have to be very careful because the soreness may worsen. It is a good idea to use some kind of cloth or scarf to reduce friction.

A Few Things You Should Know About Masturbation

Masturbation is a term used to describe the self-stimulation of genitalia in order to achieve sexual excitement and pleasure, usually until the moment of orgasm or sexual climax. In most cases, masturbation leads to orgasm by stroking, touching or massaging the clitoris and penis. Some women stimulate vagina in order to masturbate or use sex toys like vibrators to reach orgasm. But, who are the people who masturbate?

Masturbation is a very common behavior and despite the popular belief even people with a sexual partner often masturbate. According to some studies 9 out of 10 men and 8 out of 10 women, masturbate. Masturbation is the first sexual act experienced by men and women. In young people, masturbation is viewed as a normal part of the research of their bodies in their development. The vast majority of people continue masturbating even when they grow up and most of them practice masturbation until they die.

There are many reasons why people masturbate. Besides the good feeling, masturbation is an excellent way to lower the sexual tension which can develop after a long time of sexual inactivity. This is especially useful for people who don’t have a partner or in cases when the partner is not in the mood for sex or when the partner is not at home. This practice is also a safe alternative for people who want to avoid pregnancy and the dangers and risks of sexually transmitted diseases. Sometimes, this practice is necessary like when men need to provide semen sample for sterility testing or for sperm donation. When it comes to sexual dysfunction in adults, experts recommend masturbation in order to experience the feeling of orgasm or to postpone orgasm (usually in men with premature ejaculation problem).

People are often wondering whether masturbation is normal. In the past, this practice was considered to be a perverse act or a sign of mental problems. However, masturbation today is accepted as a healthy sexual activity which is acceptable, sage and pleasant. This is a great way to experience sexual pleasure. Masturbation can become a problem only in cases when it inhibits the sexual activity with a partner, when it is carried out in public places or when it is painful. The pain is usually caused if we overdo this activity or if we have an aggressive or inadequate approach. While we are talking about pain it is also good to discuss whether masturbation is harmful or not.

Generally speaking, medical experts agree that masturbation is harmless and completely normal reflection of sexuality in both men and women. It doesn’t result in any physical injuries and doesn’t harm the body. It can be implemented as normal sexual behavior on the course of anyone’s life.

There are certain cultures and religions that oppose masturbation and describe this activity as a sinful act. This is why many people feel ashamed and guilty when they masturbate. However, many experts have confirmed that masturbation improves sexual health and sexual relationships.

Protection Against Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Have you ever heard the term, to-die-for body? Do not take it literally. You do not want to meet an untimely death for no-one’s sake. You do not want to find the symptoms of STD on yourself or your partner.

There are many ways to stay out of harm’s way. Ask your sex partners to get tested. Get checked yourself. If you have any suspicion that you are infected, or you notice any change in your body, any possible symptoms of STD, do not hesitate. Go to see your doctor, the sooner the better.

Always use protection so that to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Your sex partner has to understand that you value your health and safety. Insist on using a condom, which is still the best way to prevent sexually transmitted diseases. Of course, you have to keep in mind that condom is not the best alternative when it comes to birth control. There are much safer, better, more effective ways to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Condom prevents your partner’s semen, vaginal fluids, or blood from getting into your body and blood stream and infecting you with a disease.

There are alternatives to condoms: latex surgical gloves or plastic wraps. Condom is your safest choice. You have to make sure that you use the right condom the right way.

Lubricated latex condoms are safe. Avoid condoms made of lambskin! They do not prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases – so they are useless, since we know that condoms are not the most effective way to prevent pregnancy.

If you use lubrication, use water-based lubes. Aqua Lube, Foreplay, KY Jelly are good examples. Oil based lubricants may damage condoms, and you do not want an ugly surprise. Shun vaseline, creams, and lotions.

You have to use condom for vaginal and anal sex, this goes without saying. You also must use condoms when you have oral sex with your partner. Yes, a diseased partner can infect you with HIV and other diseases through your mouth. You may have tiny wounds on the mucus membrane lining of your mouth (coming from brushing your teeth or biting your tongue), so, without protection, you are not safe at all.

Always check out the expiration date on the packaging of the condom. Put it on an erected penis, pull the foreskin back, and make sure that you are using the condom on the right side.

Once the sexual intercourse is over, the man should withdraw until his penis is still hard. When pulling his penis out, he should hold the condom with a hand, making sure it will not slip off.

When you give oral sex to a woman, use plastic wrap. Place it over her vagina. Like a condom, it can protect you from sexually transmitted diseases.

How to Avoid Being Impotent

Being declared as being impotent is one thing you cannot dare think of as a man. It literally means being unable to fulfill your sexual obligation toward your sexual partner. Although impotence is an erectile dysfunction (ED) that mostly affects aging men, you do not need to develop the problem even as you age. It is however important to note that your present lifestyle determines whether or not you will develop the condition during old age. Below are just some of the ways through which you can protect yourself from being declared impotent.

Regular Diet
There is a common saying that what is good for your heart is good for your sexual health. That is a powerful saying with beneficial meaning. Food stuffs that restrict smooth flow of blood through your heart also do the same in your sexual organ. Note that your penis needs to receive sufficient amount of blood for erection and you need to avoid any food stuff that narrows your blood vessels. Not only will your heart benefit; you will also be running away from being declared impotent.

Body Weight
Excess body weight or obesity is known to be a foundation of many health problems including development of type-2 diabetes, bone problems and erectile dysfunction in form of impotence. You can do your body great good by maintain healthy body weight now in order to avoid being declared impotent in the future.


Cholesterol
This is one thing you seriously need to watch out for if you need to avoid being declared as an impotent man in the near future. High cholesterol level in your body system coupled with high blood pressure damage your blood vessels, including blood vessels that supply your penis with blood. Damage to these vessels over time no doubt leads to ED.

Alcohol
Excess drinking of alcohol causes damage to your liver in addition to damaging your nerves. Excess alcohol in your body system also causes hormonal imbalance, putting you at great risk of developing ED and in particular impotence.

Stress
There is no doubt that we all live a fast lifestyle that otherwise exposes us to stressful situations and environments. It is only appropriate that you identify suitable ways of dealing with stress. This is because high stress level increases level of adrenaline hormone within your body. Any increase in the level of adrenaline causes your blood vessels to shrink, which in effect interferes with smooth flow of blood in your body. This increases the risk of developing ED.

Sex
There are no two ways about it. You always need to engage in safe sex in order to avoid being declared as impotent in the future. Indeed, majority of young men diagnosed as being impotent are those who engage in risky sex for which they contract STDs and physical injuries to their penis. Both physical injury to your penis and sexually transmitted diseases put you at great risk of developing ED.

These are just a few things that you must avoid if you intend to have a healthy sex life now and in the future when old age sets in. They are also the same things you need to watch out for in order to prevent impotence.

Teenage days look good, but come with its set of problems. Teenagers have to deal with the hormonal imbalances in their body which forces them to look good to the opposite sex and some other sexual problems. Teenaged girls have to deal with their sexual problems, but their mum can help them in dealing with it. Not all moms are free to talk to their daughters about sex and sexual issues.

Psychologists, time and again suggest that talking about sex and sexual habits to their teenage son and daughter would only do well than bad. Parents must understand that you are their first teacher and if you fail to educate them, they may end up screwing their lives or resort to internet to get their dose of information. Internet is a wide world in itself, so teenagers start finding something there and end with totally different page. Below are the few sexual problems and issues which teenaged girls usually face:

First time sex:
According to a survey, young girls have their first time when they are in their early teens. The results of this survey must have disappointing for many parents, but that’s not a big deal. World has become more modern and people are open about sex. Premature ejaculation is a common problem for teenagers as well.

Pregnancy:
If you are unlucky and not educated in sex then you end up having an unwanted pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy can be devastating. This is one major problem which gets sticky to deal with. Abortion is the only option left if you are very young, but it would have a bad impact on your body in the longer run. Parents must educate their kids with safe sex advices and young girls should insist on condoms if they are having sex.

Sexually transmitted diseases:
When the hormones are at their highest peak, it becomes really difficult to control those desires to have sex. Some young girls end up having sex with infected strangers unknowing the consequences.

Few things women can do to secure their fertility

Unfortunately the number of women who cannot get pregnant is rising in the last few decades. Experts have determined few things that every woman should do in order to maintain her fertility.

But when can we talk about infertility? Infertility is a term used for women that are under the age of 35 and cannot get pregnant after one year of regular unprotected sexual intercourses. In cases when the woman is older than 35 years, we can talk about infertility if the woman doesn’t get pregnant after six months. Many factors affect fertility/infertility. The truth is that we can’t affect all the factors but there are a huge number of them that we can control.

Women need to understand that going to a gynecologist and having regular examinations is a must, because a gynecologist cannot predict your fertility for the next decade but he certainly can tell you about your current state of fertility. Woman should talk about their overall health with the gynecologist so he can advise them what to do in order to preserve their fertility. There are certain diseases related to the reproductive system that can affect fertility and women should be prepared for that. Better sexual enhancement.

Having weight that is close to the normal is important for woman’s health in general as it is for the health of the reproductive system including proper menstrual cycle. If you are overweight, you probably have higher levels of estrogen in your body due to increased reserves of fat in your body. Too much estrogen in your body means that your body acts in the same way when you are using contraceptive pills. On top of that, being overweight means that you have increased levels of insulin that can lead to problems in the ovaries (ovaries stop releasing eggs). Very low weight can cause problems too because it can lead to lack of estrogen which can slow down the reproductive cycle.

Physical activity is good for the body but excessive physical activity can cause rapid decrease of fat cells (used for production of estrogen) which is important for regular menstrual cycle. Excessive physical activity can lead to irregular periods and amenorrhea, which definitely affects the possibility to conceive.

Smoking is a really bad habit. It can lead to numerous diseases and it affects our everyday activities. But yet many women still don’t want to give up smoking. Maybe if they see how bad smoking is when we talk about fertility they will change their minds. Smoking is dangerous for both ovaries and uterus. It disrupts the production of estrogen (it can decrease the production of this important female hormone) and it can damages the eggs (making them nonfunctional). Besides that eggs can become more prone to genetic anomalies.

Finally, some sexually transmitted diseases don’t have visible symptoms but they can surely have a negative impact on fertility. They can lead to many infections. This is why you need to practice safe sex and have regular medical examinations.
