Keep in mind that anything that affects your general health and well-being can also affect your sexual function. Sexual health can be affected by: Wear it in an elegant way that keeps some mystery for yourself and the beholder,’ advises designer Michelle Duncan, whose S/S ’22 collection included a hot-pink bralette worn with a matching double-breasted blazer. Whether you’re into Miu Miu’s micro proportions or the teeniest tummy glimpse, the only non-negotiable addition to your bralette/bandeau/bikini top is confidence. So when Otis the Sexual Whizzkid labelled that diagram in seconds without breaking a sweat, I decided it might be time to do something about it. It was time to shrug off the years of ignorance and prudishness, and embark on a journey of sex education. At least I knew that women could have the higher sex drives (I’d been listening to my commenters for years on that), and my survey that I did for the book bore that out as well. I guess we’re all on a journey. Some are ahead of me, and are annoyed that it took me so long, and think I still have further to go. To them I’d just say, thank you for your patience. Please believe me that I’m trying to do this well.

To help you out of any bedroom lulls nutritionist Sarah Flower reveals her top tips on what foods you can consume to help turn you on — and what foods to avoid to prevent turning off. When you’re trying to tell how aroused a sexual partner is, listen to their words, don’t assume based on what their body is doing,” Mourikis advises.

When I wrote the original version, I was trying to balance four things.

Improve mental and physical health. Sex can burn fat, cause the brain to release endorphins, and drastically reduce anxiety.

As we’ve done more and more research into women’s sexual and marital satisfaction, and sexual pain, and we’ve seen how much harm has been done in the evangelical community, I’ve realized how much of what I had written ten years ago or even five years ago isn’t what I would teach today. As most of you know, on March 15 I have two books launching–The Good Guy’s Guide to Great Sex, which I wrote with my husband, and a completely revised Good Girl’s Guide to Great Sex, which will be 10 years old this March. I never originally planned to write a book about sex.

Can I tell you a story about a book–and about me?

Talk to your doctor, because menopause treatments – including HRT (hormone replacement therapy) – will help improve dryness. And don’t skimp on foreplay, because sexual arousal is the best way to encourage maximum natural lubrication. Falling oestrogen levels in the lead-up to – and following – the menopause causes women to produce less vaginal lubrication, which can make sex uncomfortable and reduce the likelihood of orgasm.

I have a book I can recommend wholeheartedly again as a bridal shower gift or a gift for women who are just getting used to sex. And I really, really love The Good Guy’s Guide to Great Sex. It’s likely my favourite. I got to write it from scratch, and Keith helped so much with it, and I think we found the right “voice” and the right balance to help guys see that if they want great sex, they need to figure her out and make it about her! What happens is you teach your brain to notice how beautiful your body already is, which helps to immunize you against all the cultural messages that tell you your body is supposed to be different,” Nagoski says. Great sex is about exploring new things (a “yes, no, maybe” list can help) When you get in the hang of prioritising your everyday pleasure… without having to earn it, you're reminding yourself that your body is made for pleasure and pleasure is your right.”For a number of reasons, though, many adults worry about sex in their later years, and end up turning away from sexual encounters. Some older adults feel embarrassed, either by their aging bodies or by their “performance,” while others are affected by illness or loss of a partner. And I didn’t get paid for that either!). I’m glad they said yes, though, because I did want to do this well. So I took out the gendered stuff, and I added a lot more about the sexual response cycle and orgasm.
