In today’s epoch, Intimacy has become a normal thing but mistakes are inevitable on the journey of sexual exploration and intimacy. These mistakes can often be avoided with awareness and understanding. Whether creating new relationships or strengthening long-term relationships, recognizing common pitfalls is essential to fostering healthy and rewarding experiences.
7 Sex Mistakes that Everyone Should Avoid!
From miscommunication to unrealistic expectations, here are seven sex mistakes everyone should try to avoid, paving the way to deeper relationships and greater pleasure.
1- Pornography is like real-life sex
Porn is often many people’s first source of sexual education. A typical pornographic film has well-defined male and female bodies, with a 40–50 minute sexual encounter. Pornography often grandstands unpleasant belittling behavior towards the woman and it creates false expectations of what sex will look and feel like.
It’s like setting expectations of college life from a drama/ movie work but the reality is too far from this.
We must understand that porn is not made to provide accurate pieces of information about sex rather it is created to entertain and manifest fantasies, no matter how violent or violating. It is like a drug that makes you crave more.
In July 2014 study from the Journal of American Medical Association Psychiatry found that men who watched a lot of porn had less activity in the areas of the brain associated with sexual stimuli than those who watched less.
Pornography makes you feel like a third wheel on a motorcycle. It disconnects the mind from the physical body on sexual stimuli ground. So, avoid watching a lot of porn.
2- Sex enhancing Medicines are safe
In order to boost sexual desire and satisfy partners, people often depend upon Viagra and other such over-the-counter medicines. However, it’s a harsh reality that these are medicinal drugs and not recreational tablets.
Viagra is suggested by doctors for conditions like erectile dysfunction but on regular consumption, it can cause erectile dysfunction permanently.
Here are the few side effects of consuming Viagra more often
- Viagra creates Hot flashes in the body.
- Blurred vision and even death in some rare cases.
- In Individuals with high BP or underlying heart issues, it can cause serious damage
- As Viagra increases the blood flow in the genital area, some men even experience fainting
due to low blood pressure created in other parts of the body.
so, instead of taking shortcuts try building your sexual health using potent natural herbs like Shilajit, Shatavari (Asparagus), etc.
3- Sex is good only if you have an orgasm
The less you believe in the statement, the better your sex life will be.
For men, sexual intercourse is satisfying only if they reach an orgasm but for many women, this is not the case. Surveys have shown that women enjoy the closeness and physical connection to their partner and are satisfied even if they don’t always have an orgasm.
4- Some Sex positions act as birth control
Although it is true that some sexual positions, such as women on top and standing, have a lower chance of getting pregnant, so considering this as an effective method of contraception is a mistake that you may regret later.
If unprotected vaginal intercourse takes place, no matter what position it is in, there is always a high chance of getting pregnant. In fact, sperms are so mobile that they can move up and fertilize the egg, even if the ejaculation does not take place inside the vagina, but near it. Therefore, it is always recommended to use protection before starting intimacy with your partner.
What does Ayurveda say?
According to Ayurveda, the ideal sex position to conceive faster is one where the woman is lying with her face directed in an upward direction (Missionary position).
5- A menstrual cup loosens the vagina
A menstrual cup is considered one of the safest products for women in the period to collect blood.
But often this question arises
Won’t using a menstrual cup loosen the vagina?
The answer is no. The women’s Vaginal opening is like an elastic tube that can stretch and return to its original place like an elastic band.
A woman’s vagina can easily expand to pass a baby without significantly losing elasticity, and a menstrual cup is a fairly small and flexible device, the walls of the vagina tend to make room for the cup when inserted into the vaginal opening.
Research shows that vaginal muscles are like any other muscles and can be strengthened by doing certain pelvic floor exercises.
Therefore, feel free to ditch the dioxin-based sanitary pads and switch to menstruation cups.
6- Penis size matters
It’s disheartening to know that a significant number of young men develop a complex of small penis size. Thinking that they would not be able to satisfy their partner. However, the truth is far from it.
According to science, penis size doesn’t matter at all as social networks make you think. In other words, penis size does not determine the pleasure of the female partner, nor does it affect the pleasure of the male partner.
In women, only the outer two inches of the vagina is capable of experiencing sexual stimuli. so, if an erect penis is even 2 inches in length, then it is sufficient for the lady.
Always remember, the true measure of masculinity is not size, but how well you can connect with your partner. Also, it is important to know that no special gels, creams, tablets, injections, diets, or techniques will increase the size of the penis.
So, don’t make rich anybody or social media on your insecurities and focus more on loving chemistry with your partner.
7- Intimate areas should not be darker
In this social media era, men and women are forced to think that the skin down there should match the skin and people are running behind intimate lighting creams, serums and even getting laser treatment done.
Be beyond any doubt that all these medications are pointless and have side impacts physically and mentally like
- Skin rashes
- Steroid-induced acne
- Scarring
- Thinning skin
- Skin ulcers
Side effects of laser-based treatment
- Burns
- Scarring
- Persistent pain or pain during sex
According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, intimate lightening cream may contain high concentrations of hydroquinone or topical steroids, which can lead to purple pigmentation of the skin.
The truth is that every one of us is completely ordinary for the skin around gentiles than other parts because The melanocytes in the pubic area which provide the darker color are more sensitive to hormonal change. Moreover, due to sweat and friction, melanin production is also higher in the pelvic area.
In conclusion, I must advise people to stop running behind what they see on social media. Avoid buying unnecessary medications, as they temporarily help but in the long run, will be unhealthy for your mental and physical peace. if you feel noxious about your sexual health, get a consultation from a Healthcare professional.
