According to American scientists, there are several facts about sex that few people know. Scientists have found that we lose sight of some important nuances on which our fulfilling sex life directly depends. Here are ten facts about sex that not everyone knows:
1. Women think about sex more often
Society perceives a woman as a romantic nature, to whom thoughts about sex are foreign. According to men, ladies are more likely to imagine erotic episodes of melodramas than scenes of hot porn. And in general, they say, a self-respecting girl restrains frivolous thoughts out of self-respect.
But polls show that girls actually think about sex even more often than men, and they wouldn’t mind having more sex in their lives.
According to one study, about 53% of women admit that they do not have sex as often as they would like, while 75% of the study participants express a desire to make love at least three times a week.
2. Orgasm is rare
So much has been written and said about ways to achieve orgasm that it seems that every man is simply bound to experience it, you just have to find the right approach. However, numerous studies on this topic prove that orgasm in a certain sense should be considered an achievement, and this is especially true for women.
By the way, women, for their part, are also mistakenly convinced that a man can achieve sexual liberation in any situation. After all, everything is physiologically simpler for them.
And this is also a big fallacy.
It turned out that only 70% of men in relationships regularly experience orgasm with their partner. Well, for women, this figure is even more than twice as low – only 29%.
3. Intimacy is better on certain days
In most women, sexual desire increases before menstruation. How can we explain this? It seems that this is the most unfavorable time for pleasure.
In fact, everything is simple: there is a sharp hormonal change in the body. Libido rises sharply. You may want sex both before and during your period.
4. Sex with socks is better
As funny as it sounds, socks are the way to orgasm. We’re talking about simple cotton socks that can make your sex better.
Research confirms that it is easier for a partner with warm feet to reach the extreme point of pleasure. So the popular wisdom “keep your head cool and your feet warm” carries extra meaning in this situation.
5. Women are especially sexy during ovulation
Despite the fact that women themselves do not know this, they subconsciously attract men to themselves more precisely during the period of ovulation. American psychologists from the University of New Mexico were able to establish this. The scientists found that dancers who performed the dance in the days before ovulation received more compliments than in the post-ovulation phase of the cycle.
A woman nowadays unconsciously chooses sexier clothes these days, goes to clubs more often and is more inclined to date men. Everything is related to fluctuations in the level of the sex hormone – estradiol, the amount of which increases sharply at a certain moment.
6. Size doesn’t matter
Despite the mass clamor on the part of the male population for all sorts of tricks
(magic pills, surgical interventions, miracle exercise devices), reality proves the futility of all these manipulations. Size really doesn’t matter to the quality of a woman’s sexual experience.
In addition, research shows that women are much more likely to experience pain and discomfort if the size is more than impressive.
7. Sperm have high speed
Despite the fact that the seminal fluid seems completely motionless, as soon as it enters the female body, spermatozoa develop incredible speed. According to The Naked Scientist, sperm can move at speeds of up to 5 mm per minute. If you zoom in, relative to scale, this is equal to the swimming speed of a salmon!
8. Sex relieves fear
During orgasm, the part of the brain that causes anxiety and fear shuts down completely. This is why sex is often the best stress reliever.
9. Sex trains your memory
High-quality regular sex also helps improve memory. But this magical property applies only to women.
A recent study found that sexual activity improves a woman’s brain’s ability to remember words and entire phrases. This happens by increasing blood flow to the hippocampus area of the brain. By the way, the same effect can be obtained with the help of any aerobic activity, but doing it in bed is much more pleasant.
10. Apples increase sex drive
We often hear about aphrodisiacs such as strawberries and oysters, chocolate and almonds, but few people know about the powerful power of ordinary apples. But they can unusually increase sexual desire.
Research data shows that women who eat apples more than once a day have better sexual function and a stronger, more consistent attraction to their partner than those who don’t.
