The modern world tells us sex is nothing more than a meeting of mutually aroused bodies. Many of us view it that way, especially in casual dating scenarios. However, the art and science of arousal make it far more complicated.
But if you think about it, you don’t want to have sex with just anyone, because not everybody can arouse you. They have the tools to do it, but for some reason, those tools don’t work on you. Along the same vein, sex – even …

Psychologist and philosopher Eric Fromm has a beautiful thought about love. He says, “Love isn’t something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn’t a feeling, it is a practice.” In some ways, this is true of sex. If we were to consistently ‘do what comes naturally’ as happens in many patriarchal societies, sex would only last a few seconds, and one partner feel unsatisfied with Lasting Sex. And yet in other circumstances, what comes naturally …

When the average man Googles ‘how to last longer in bed’ he probably expects advice on technique and tantricks. He is likely to scroll past anything that offers mundane tips on how to live a healthy, relaxed life. And yet stress has a proven link with poor bedroom performance. At the most basic level, it’s hard to focus on love-making when you’re worried, but at a more organic level, stress can lead to lifestyle diseases like high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, and others. These all …

You might have heard people mention ‘baby-making weather’. It makes sense. It’s an evolutionary response, and it’s likely that a large percentage of people call their exes over winter. It’s a combination of low body heat and miserable weather that leaves us seeking (physical) comfort.
In some ways, this can be an excellent opportunity to get past your issues with premature ejaculation. You may feel it’s a lot of pressure to perform, and this could aggravate your problem, so it could be helpful to have …

While optimism is a great quality to have in life, sometimes there’s such thing as too much optimism – or unrealistic optimism. This can be particularly apparent in romantic relationships! Have you ever been in a relationship where one person was full of unbridled optimism (“everything is always going to be fan-freaking-tastic!”) and the other person was, well, not a pessimist, but someone who based things on logic (well, chances are this won’t work out, or we’ll be fighting soon”)?
While you might think that …

A recent study from Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health has revealed a link between eating seafood and having a healthy sex life. Eating seafood has also been linked to increasing the chance of conceiving a child.
The study followed 501 couples who were trying to conceive. The couples were asked to log in a journal the amount of seafood they consumed each week and how often they were having sexual intercourse. The researchers studied the couples for an entire year or until they became …

You might be familiar with the term ‘sapiosexual’. It refers to people who are sexually aroused by intelligence. Ordinarily, the size of a man’s brain doesn’t help him last longer in bed, though it can help him attract the type of partner that values intellect. That said, the brain is still the largest sexual organ in any man or woman’s body.
Your brain subconsciously determines what attracts you, and sexual attraction causes a response in your erogenous zones. While it’s true that physical stimulation can make your …

The ordinary person defines erectile dysfunction as an inability to achieve or maintain an erection long enough to complete sexual intercourse. Of course, ‘completion’ is relative, so it’s sometimes diagnosed based on the satisfaction levels of both him and his partner. If they’re both left hanging after ejaculation, then he is likely to be labelled as dysfunctional.
Erections happen when adequate blood flows into the penis to make it hard and stiff and stays there long enough to please both himself and his partner. This means any …

Many men (and women) have the same assumption. We recognise that women take longer to reach orgasm than men do, so we assume that if a man can figure out how to last longer in bed, then he’ll be a better lover and his partner will be happier. However, while stamina does matter, it’s not the only aspect of sexual satisfaction. A lot more goes into it. Still, many early ejaculation solutions revolve around expanding the duration of your erection. Let’s look at some myths concerning the subject, …

Young children have interesting names for the penis, including ‘tail’ and ‘tap’. This is before they learn more ‘appropriate’ names from adults. However, calling sexual organs by the wrong names is one of the reasons that even as adults, we develop unhealthy sexual attitudes, so it helps to teach our kids – from as young an age as possible – to call a penis a penis (and a vagina a vagina.)
But exactly what is a penis? Is it flesh? Is it bone? Can it break? …
