6 secrets for good s*xual health
1
Eat healthy
S*xuality is a reflection of one’s general state of health. To have an active s*x life, take care of your nutrition. Healthy food nourishes your body and allows it to be at its best in many situations, including s*x. Plus, a healthy nutrition (low in sodium and bad fats, for example) will help you fight certain illnesses like arterial hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, which can be associated with erectile dysfunction, affecting one out of every two men after 40 years old.
2
Avoid smoking
Smoking reduces your vitality, including on a s*xual level. Plus, to***co leads to a phenomenon causing blood vessels to constrict everywhere in the body, including in the ge****ls. In men, this reduction in the blood flow can lead to difficulty in having or maintaining an er****on. In women, this phenomenon also occurs in the ge****ls, which leads to a variety of problems, including a lubrication reduction.
3
Maintain a healthy weight
Overweight or obese people are at a greater risk of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and diabetes, medical conditions that may be detrimental to a good s*xual health. Maintaining a healthy weight contributes to prevent diseases associated with erectile dysfunction and other s*xual problems. Plus, feeling good in your own body can help you fully enjoy your own s*xuality.
4
Limit your alcohol consumption
It would be easy to think that alcohol consumption facilitates s*xual encounters, but the truth of the matter is quite different. Research has revealed that consuming large quantities of alcohol can have a negative impact on men and women’s s*xual capacities. It can, for example, reduce a man’s capacity to have and maintain an er****on. High doses of alcohol can also reduce a woman’s capacity to become s*xually aroused and have an or**sm.
5
Communicate with your partner
To enjoy a healthy s*xuality, it is important to feel comfortable. Choose the proper place, talk to your partner about his or her tastes and preferences in love, as well as yours. In all cases, you should feel free to try new things and you should feel respected. Don’t do something just to please your partner if it makes you feel uncomfortable.
6
Protect yourself
If you are not ready to deal with a potential unplanned pregnancy, make sure to use a contraceptive of your choice. Put safety first. Using a condom offers double protection: it reduces both the risks of pregnancy and contracting a s*xually transmitted infection (STI). Having a blood test done is also a good way for you and your partner to avoid the risks of suffering from an STI.
