G spot is real

The G spot is a small region in the vagina that, if stimulated, can produce wildly intense orgasms – or so goes the popular claim. But, since decades, strong evidence for the region’s existence was harder to find than the spot itself. However, in 2008, an Italian research team solved the mystery after they found anatomical differences between women who could have G-spot orgasms and women who couldn’t.

Brain switches off

It’s folk wisdom that people can’t think straight when they have sex on their minds, and a brain scanning study has now showed that many areas of women’s brains are deactivated during orgasm, including those involved in emotion. Parts of the brain that govern fear and anxiety are switched off when a woman is having an orgasm but remain active if she is faking it. As a woman climaxes, an area of the brain governing emotion is largely deactivated.

 Many women can’t have orgasms

Around 43 per cent of women in the US have some sort of problem with their sex lives. Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is so common that the very idea that it is a medical disorder has come under attack and thus efforts to develop drugs to treat it are underway. Researchers find it baffling that so many women are unable to have orgasms during penetrative sex, but can experience the same during masturbation.

 Genes affect orgasm frequency

It’s official! Genes do play a role in women’s orgasm. According to the first genetic study of the female orgasm, up to 45 per cent of the variation in women’s ability to have them could be down to genes. Many women never have orgasms during intercourse, and some also cannot have them through masturbation. Some of this may be down to external factors like upbringing, but the genetic factor is significant.

 Technology can Help

Perhaps the most extreme solution for sexual dysfunction among women is the so-called ‘orgasmatron’ – an implant inserted into the spinal cord, which stimulates the user when switched on via a remote control. Despite an initial struggle to find subjects for clinical testing, the device is now in development. It stimulates a woman to a pre-orgasmic state with a pulsating current. Critics are scoffing, but some women sure have reasons to feel happy.

The health benefits of sex

Many people simply enjoy a healthy sex life because sex is pleasurable. Now there’s another reason to stay under the sheets; there are substantial health benefits
of sex. Enjoying a rigorous romp can do wonders for everyone both physically and psychologically. Following are the reasons why sexual activity may help you live a longer, happier life.

Sex can cure headaches
All those times that you were told, “Not tonight honey, I have a headache,” all you had to do was inform your woman that one of the health benefits of sex is its ability to act as a pain reliever. The hormone oxytocin secretes within your body whenever you engage in sexual activity. Studies have shown that a rise in oxytocin levels can relieve pain and everything from headaches, cramps and overall body aches can be diminished.

Help you sleep well
A recent survey revealed that people who have more sex reported that they felt more at ease, happier and learned how to handle stress better. So perhaps the term ‘sexual frustration’ is not too far from the truth.
After an orgasm, an intense wave of calm and relaxation overcomes humans (that’s why men usually fall asleep) and it’s a time when people can truly liberate themselves and let go. Plenty of people who enjoy a regular dose of sex do feel alive and refreshed throughout the day.

Increase blood flow
It goes without saying that when we get aroused our blood starts to pump at a quicker rate and, thus, blood flow to our brain increases. These result in better performance (in and out of the bedroom).
It also gives a fresh supply of blood pumping through your body and provides the organs with a healthy dose of oxygen.

Maintain the body
One of the health benefits of sex is that it helps to keep you fit. Sexual intercourse burns off 150 calories every half hour. Although the average couple engages in sex for approximately 25 minutes a session only three times a week, it still accounts for 450 calories that are better taken off than put on.
A health benefit of sex, is that it may burn even more than 300 calories depending on how rigorous you get.

Act as a fountain of youth
Although the orgasm is sometimes referred to as the ‘little death’, having at least two orgasms a week can increase your life span. Every time you reach orgasm, the hormone DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) increases in response to sexual excitement and ejaculation. DHEA can boost your immune system, repair tissue, improve cognition, keep skin healthy, and even work as an antidepressant.

Add more good hormones
Both testosterone and estrogen levels experience a boost through regular sexual activity. Testosterone does more than just boost your sex drive, it helps fortify bones and muscles, and it keeps your heart in good working condition as well.
In women, sex increases the levels of estrogen, which protects against heart disease. Ever wonder why women love the touchy, feely stuff so much? It’s because of their rise in estrogen levels.

Lessen stress
It’s quite evident that there are many health benefits of sex. It increases brain power, heart rate, it can help fend off diseases and ailments, and it makes individuals feel good about themselves. In today’s stressful society, it has become a little more difficult to engage in intimate sexuality as often, but as long as you incessantly make the effort, you’ll realise that it’s always worth it.

The Chemistry of Kissing

When a kiss is great, it can be electrifying for both parties. When it is bad … well, let’s just say there isn’t a lot of hope for a second date. Here are some tips to keep in mind the next time you’re getting ready to pucker up.

You must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss… hang on a minute. No it isn’t! Because when it comes to dating, a kiss can change everything. Sometimes it’s spine-tinglingly magical and sends shivers from your neck to your toes. And sometimes, well, it feels more like licking a wet fish. While the chemistry you feel on your night out says a lot about how the kiss might go, there are a few things you can do to increase your chances of butterflies, chills, fireworks, and other memory-making moments. Try these lip-smacking tips to make this the first of many kisses to come.

Read when the moment is right. Ever found yourself bumbling and mumbling at the end of a date, wondering if your attempt at a good night smack will be the kiss of death? You’re not alone. Stand close to your date, and let your arm rub against his or hers. Face your date with your arms open, not crossed, to show you’re open to a kiss. Tell your date you had a good time, and ask your date how he or she felt. And most important?

Lock lips in a place where you don’t have to hold back. Yes, it’s romantic to kiss, say, out on a street corner, but if you’re not the PDA type, you might end up holding back during your kiss. And those unsure feelings could hold back a fireworks-worthy performance. The fact is, kissing signals our brains to produce oxytocin, a hormone that gives us that wonderful, weak-kneed feeling. And the chemicals that produced that feeling prompt you to want to kiss more and create more, like a love drug.

Make eye contact before, during, and after your kiss. Eye contact immediately ups the intimacy level of any sexual act, say experts—so if you’re smooching with your peepers shut tight, you could be missing out! So, before you go for gold, take a few seconds — one Mississippi, two Mississippi — to look at your partner eye-to-eye and establish this is a special moment between the two of you. After you first kiss, pull back, open your eyes, really look at your date, then kiss again. Then, open your eyes once during the kiss to bring the personal touch home.
