Things every couple should know about sex! They can enhance your relationship.

Condoms do not affect the quality of orgasm. Dr. Herbenick of the Indiana University Center for Sexual Health Promotion points out that orgasm can be experienced regardless of whether a condom is used. If men feel less pleasure with a condom on, women may want to increase foreplay to make their partners happier.

1. The older you are, the easier it is to reach orgasm.

Dr. Herbenick says that age and experience give people more confidence, and that long-established close relationships allow partners to understand each other better.

2. Self-esteem affects the quality of orgasm.

Self-esteem influences the quality of orgasm. Research shows that a person’s sense of identity with their genitals is directly linked to the quality of their orgasm. Men should be confident in their penile strength, and women should believe in the attractiveness of their bodies.

3. Changing positions can help you reach orgasm.

Trying different positions during sex makes it easier to reach orgasm than using a single position, because different positions mean people are willing to spend more time cultivating sexual feelings.

4. There are differences in how men and women perceive orgasm.

Orgasm can relieve pain. Data shows that orgasm can reduce arthritis pain and post-operative pain because it stimulates the body to release a chemical called oxytocin. This hormone can relax the body and stimulate a positive emotional state. However, this effect only lasts for 8-10 minutes.
