Are you Sexually Healthy?
Sex is an important part of every adult’s life and well-being and to enjoy sexual life, it is essential to be sexually healthy. Sadly, the concept of sexual health is ignored by many. Your doctor might have hidden this from you, but a healthy sex life is extremely beneficial! It helps boost immunity; it relieves stress, lowers blood pressure, reduces the chances of stroke, and let's not forget, it produces good mood endorphins. We just need to know how to maintain and improve our sex life day in and day out. For that, the following things will help you achieve your goal.
- Perform Kegel Exercises:-
What are kegel exercises and how are they different from weight training? Well, you don’t have to sweat it out like you do in the gym. Instead, follow just simple steps. Sit in a relaxed position with your legs slightly apart and try to make your hands reach your toes. Breathe freely throughout the entire process and make a minimum of 50 repetitions. At the same time, contract and relax the pubococcygeus (PC) muscles after every 5 seconds. Kegel exercises strengthen the PC muscles by increasing the flow of blood in the pelvic region, thus improving sensitivity. In men, you will find this pelvic muscle just under the testicles. In women, the pelvic muscles cover the vaginal walls and support the bladder, uterus, and bowel.
The pelvic floor muscles play a vital role with respect to both erection and ejaculation. When you are sexually aroused, the pelvic floor muscles are activated and engaged to maintain penile rigidity and a skyward-angling erection. These muscles get the stimulated penis from a stable state to a state of bone-like rigidity by changing it to a motor of ejaculation. In women, giving more attention to the control and coordination of their pelvic muscles heighten their vaginal sensation during sex. Due to this, they are able to reach orgasm more easily and have powerful orgasms too.
- Maintain a healthy weight:-
If you are obese then you are at a greater risk of hypertension and diabetes which is detrimental to sexual health. A healthy weight can help you get rid of the problem of erectile dysfunction to some extent and you will start enjoying your own sexuality.
- Quit smoking before it kills you:-
Cigarette smoking leads to male infertility by lowering the quality of semen. Nicotine in cigarettes damages veins, arteries, and blood vessels of the private parts of the body and restricts blood flow to the penis, thereby contracting penile tissues.
- Sexual Therapy:-
Have you wondered what exactly happens in sex therapy? Do they teach you how to have sex? Well, if this was the case then, sexually active people too would have attended the sessions. Sex therapy helps remove anxieties, and change attitudes and behavior so that normal response is not inhibited. In most cases, sex therapy deals with emotional issues, which hamper fundamental sexual problems.
- Reduce stress:-
Stress can wreak havoc on your libido. Stress increases heart rate and blood pressure, which damage sexual desire and performance. Talk to your partner about your stress and try to strengthen your relationship.
- Healthy diet:-
Are you a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian? Well, that isn’t really important because you can pretty much derive the same benefits from both diets. Healthy food stimulates bodily desires naturally. So, maintain a healthy diet.
- Indulge in foreplay:-
You may be anxious and over-excited but don’t jump on your partner for what you want. Fully utilize your partner’s lips, neck, and shoulders; and give your partner ample time to warm up and to get aroused. This can be a pleasurable experience for both of you.
- Expose yourself to the sun:-
Sunlight stops the production of melatonin in your body. Melatonin silences your sexual urge. In simple words, less melatonin means the potential for more sexual desire. Sun helps you wake up your sex drive, especially during winter when your body produces more melatonin. So get out of your house and let the sun hit your skin.
Following these things doesn’t require any special effort. These golden rules can bring golden days back to your life. So, what are you waiting for?
