Improve Your Sex Life With Exercise


Physical exercise, aside from being a great way to keep the body in its proper shape, it also helps to enhance neurologic function, improve cardiovascular activities, relieve stress, manage BMI, increase concentration and awareness, as well as having a tremendous impact on our sexual health.

Order than cutting the risk of health complications associated with obesity and being overweight, regular exercise makes you feel and look sexy, giving you confidence, and boosting your self-esteem by giving you a right overall image of yourself

Researchers have shown that physical exercise has similar and diverse health benefits on both male and female’s sexual life. Physical activities in both men and women tend to induce improved sexual desirability and sexual performance. Improvement in this sexual desirability and performance may, however, vary between the two sexes. With regular exercise, women’s bodies are essentially primed for sexual activities through increased sensitivity to touch, while men, who exercise regularly, experience better sexual performance and have a better orgasm.

A study in 2008 in the Journal of Sexual Medicine proved that short duration, high-intensity physical exercise, less than 30 minutes and with a targeted heart rate of 70 percent of maximum heart rate, in women, does substantially improve sexual arousal. Another 2007 study in the same journal, discovered a strong connection between enhanced perception of arousal and increased body awareness. We can make a conclusion from these two studies that physical exercise increases body's responsiveness in women through improves bodily sensations such as increased muscle tension and heightened heart rate.

In men, however, regular physical exercise has been shown to improve sex drive significantly. A study published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour in 1990 showed that men who participate in physical activity, one hour a day, 3 – 5 times a week, with targeted heart rate of 75 – 80 percent of maximum heart rate, have a significant improvement in sexual involvements, such as endurance level, adequate sexual functionality, frequency of Sexual activities and an overall improved sexual drive.

If the fact that you’ll have better health is not enough reason to do some exercise, perhaps you might consider the following benefits of regular exercise in your Sexual life.

·       Exercise makes you look sexier – People who exercise regularly will have an improved body image, and this improves sexual desirability.

·       Exercises can cut the risk of erectile dysfunction – Since males genital erection is associated with blood circulation, regular exercise can help reduce the risk of diseases affiliated with the circulatory system, including high blood pressure and blocked arteries.

·       Exercises aids the release of endorphins – The term “runner’s high” is used to describe the feeling of pleasure and contempt during exercise, this feeling is usually triggered by the release of endorphins. People who exercise regularly often have a better sex life because the more the endorphins are released, the more the sexual arousal.

·       Exercise improve sexual performance in older individuals – Older people who exercise regularly tend to experience more or less the same sexual pleasure as with much younger people. Exercise can help optimize sexual performance in ageing people and cut the risk of sexual ageing.

Eating right to improve your sexual health

There are many factors that have an influence on our sex lives. When we’re young we’re typically horny all the time, regardless of our habits at the time. But as we grow older we learn that if we are to remain sexually active, we need to switch things up and opt out for a healthier way of living. And what is the single most important thing that you can change up to improve not only your sex drive and male libido but also your overall health? The diet that you consume, of course.

So, what can you do in order to improve your diet? First of all, you will need to eliminate all of the processed foods that you might be consuming. So, there is no excuse for you to gorge on chocolate because it’s based on the ingredient of cocoa – and this is a natural ingredient that is shown to have beneficial effects on your health. If you see through this claim of the chocolate industry, then you will realize that chocolates are full of artificial flavorings and that they are loaded with sugar. This is not a good thing, as sugar, as tasty as it is – it’s still very harmful to your health.

Make sure that you’re eating a lot of vegetables. This is the only one of the food groups that you can ingest practically as much as you want. Of course, we’re not saying that you should eat a truckload of asparagus so that you will be healthy – but in practical amounts, you can eat as much as you want. This does not go for meats and dairy and even grains and cereals. Vegetables are loaded with helpful nutrients of different kinds – make sure that you’re eating vegetables of different colors, as the different colors mean the presence of different nutrients. The body thrives on nutritious foods – this will be a wise investment of yours to load your fridge up with healthy vegetables of different kinds.

So, how can this habit of eating right improve your sexual health? In myriads of ways. You will see that your body is growing more robust and powerful with each and every vegetable that you’re eating. Of course, you shouldn’t expect results overnight, as it may take months before your body gets completely free and cleaned off from the processed foods that you have eaten previously. But make no mistake about it – your sexual health will benefit from this new habit of yours in a big way.

You will find out that you’re getting hungrier for sex. It will enhance the libido, and you will find a new zest for having sex. This is the power that diet has for your sexual health – and we recommend you to start eating healthy right now. If you’re set on eating unhealthy foods for dinner – then give it your best to switch things up immediately, and find something healthy to eat instead. Both your overall health, in general, and your sexual health, in particular, will thank you for this wise decision of yours.

Fixing Sex Drives Issues For Youngster

For most people, youth is the best period of life. It’s a time of energy, power, vigor, and an incredible desire to live. And it’s also the time when our bodies are at their peak in the sense of their overall health and youthfulness. But if there’s one thing that goes hand in hand with youth – it’s the incredibly powerful sex drive that young people have, not to mention that it will affect your sexual desire as well.

But even young people are known to have sex drive issues at one time or another. And this, combined with the idealization of youth as a period where everything about our bodies needs to function perfectly – can have a devastating effect on the self-confidence of young people. So, if you’re young person and you’re facing issues with low sex drive, how can you go about fixing them?

Exercise plays a vital role
That’s right, chances are that you already knew this sound advice, but the fact that most everyone knows about the importance of exercise doesn’t make this advice any less potent. The best forms of exercise when it comes to sexual health are the cardiovascular training, and strength training. Both can be incredibly simple to do – you don’t need to over complicate things. A light 20-minute jog for a few times per week and a few strength training sessions a week in the gym where you will lift weights will be more than enough for the restoration of your sex drive.

Don’t forget about nutrition
Next in line is the nutrition, or what you eat. This too can have a profound effect on your sex drives as a young person. What you want to do is to ditch the processed foods that are laden with harmful chemicals that can wreak havoc on your body. On the other hand, you’ll want to increase your intake of nutritious, nourishing foods such as fruits and vegetables. The rule of thumb is that you should eat unprocessed foods that exist in nature and that you shouldn’t overeat. Also, make sure that you have an intake of various types of vegetables so that you will get all of the micronutrients that your body craves. In this way, you will increase the power of your sex drives dramatically.

Sleep more
For all its good things, youth is a period when we are at a loss of time to do all the things that we want. The 24-hour day is simply too short for all the things we want to do, and so we cut back on some important things, such as sleep, in order to artificially create more time. This is a mistake –, especially for our sex drives. You’ll want to sleep for at least 7-8 hours a day, every day if you’re to keep healthy and increase the power of your sex drives.

In conclusion
There are many factors that you need to consider if you’re a young person and you have issues with a low sex drive. The thing to be aware of here is that this is not something to be ashamed of, as even the most virile of people experience a downswing in their sex drive from time to time. Implement the advice from above, and you will most likely see an improvement in this critical area of your life.

All You Should Know About Testicular Cancer And How To Detect It

Regular control and prevention is the best way of staying healthy. Although cancer is one of the most common illnesses today, most of the cancer types can be efficiently treated if noticed in time. That is why you should not avoid seeing your doctor every now and then. Guys particularly should be careful when it comes to their intimate parts.

Testicular cancer is not that often and can be treated easily but only if you start the process as soon as possible. Most of the patients who have treated testicular cancer on time have healed completely and without any aftereffects. But there are also many examples of fatal consequences that are mostly caused by undue treatment.

Testicles and Cancer                                                                 
Testicles are crucial for men's reproductive and general health. They are an integral part of your reproductive system and the source of sperm and various male hormones such as testosterone. Without them, you will be unable of having any sexual desire or any prospect of having children. These should be enough reasons to pay particular attention to your "boy's" sexual health.

Although testicular cancer is rare when compared to other types of this disease, it still deserves precaution. No matter what age you might be there are still chances of suffering from testicular cancer. Men aged between 20 and 34 are the most common patients and most of them are efficiently healed if the cancer was discovered in an early phase. In many cases, the treatment was efficient even if cancer has already spread. But have in mind that this lowers your chance of defeating the illness completely unharmed.

Testicular cancer has similar effects as all other, which means that it leads to the creation of abnormal cells that are harmful to your body. If this process continues your testicles will grow an abnormal size and cancer can even spread to other parts of the body. There are still no certain causes of testicular cancer but an unhealthy way of life, stress, some other illnesses (Klinefelter syndrome for example) and a presence of cancer in your family are some of the common conditions. Perhaps it is more important to be aware of symptoms of testicular cancer that should be the signal for visiting a doctor right away.

Symptoms Of A Testicular Cancer And Possible Treatments
Your body may give you various signals to warn you something is wrong with your testicles, but if you are not listening to it, you may well end up with a dangerous disease such as cancer. However, it is important also to know what are the symptoms of testicular cancer and once you notice them, you are then able to act fast and against the disease.

One of the most frequent symptoms is a lump in your testicles. If you notice it on your testicles, you will instantly see that a lump is painless, it can be small but over the time, it may become bigger and bigger, as well as to spread to other organs in your body.

Another significant symptom may be swelling in the testicles or scrotum. Very often, pain can be present as well, with or without the swelling. At the matter of fact, swelling of the testicles is natural in some cases, but if it becomes too frequent, then it is high time for you to see your doctor.

Change in the shape and size of one of your testicles may also be a sign of testicular cancer. Often, one testicle can be more firm than the other or sometimes bigger than usual. If you detect this kind of a change, don't leave it just like that. Schedule an appointment with your doctor's and dispel all the doubts.

You may also see your breasts have grown a little bit. This is not so frequent symptom but it has been noticed in several kinds of testicular cancer. And in addition, some patients suffering from testicular cancer have also felt dull pain and discomfort.

What Should You Do In Case You Notice Some Of The Symptoms?
The good thing to do inevitably once a month is to have a self-examination. Make a bubble bath with a warm water and apply a gentle massage to your testicles with both your hands. This way you can examine your testicles and perhaps detect a lump that indicates an early stage of the testicular tumor. In case this happens, make sure you urgently visit your doctor. Once a doctor becomes able to give you a diagnosis, you are then ready to talk about any further steps that are to be taken.

Internet is not the place for porn and games only, it's powerful and you should know how to use it to gain the knowledge for your advantage. For example, health, there are so many website that contain the knowledge of better health, of course including sexual health and how to build up your body for stronger and leaner.

Do you know that eating habit is more important than exercise? If you are looking forward for better health then control your mouth following by exercise. If you only do your workout without controlling your food intake then the calories you take in may ultimately more than the calories you burn for 1 hour jogging. 1 hour jogging may burn about 600 calories, this is moderate running speed. A few scoop of ice cream may contain up to 600 calories already, not to mention the additional chocolate toppings and nuts. You may get all these information at health.com and bodybuilding.com, the latter is more on body building but there are tons of information about weight loss information.

What to know more, google it 'processed food example'.

Three ways to improve your sexual health immediately

When it comes to it, not everyone really cares about their health. Many people think that their health is fine and that they shouldn’t bother with it. But once it comes to their performance in bed, then they’re all ears. Luckily, I’m here to tell you that sexual health is a subset of overall health, so both are intimately intertwined. If you take care of one thing, that means that you’re taking care for a part of the other at the same time. So how can you improve both your overall and your sexual health?
Without further ado, here’s the short list of three ways in which you can improve your sexual life immediately.

1.       Exercise. If there’s one single element that is CRUCIAL to being healthy, then it’s exercising frequently. Your heart function improves, your blood pressure regulates, and every single organ of your body improves its function. This will make you a horse in bed, sturdy and powerful. How do you go about it? Well, three times a week of about an hour of exercise would do the trick. If you’re not really into exercising, then you can go in easy, maybe two times per week. But build up to three times. Everything helps, a regime of a few series of pushups, pull ups, squats, and hanging knee raises will work nearly all of the muscles in your body. Add to that a cardio routine of 20 minutes of running or walking or cycling and you’ll have a fully functional exercise routine that will make you radiate vitality.

2.       Diet. The second part is the diet. Many vitamins and nutrients are directly responsible for the work of the sexual organs. So you’ll have a better sex life if you eat high quality foods instead of garbage fast food. You should go about it by eating natural foods. See the ingredients lists of what you eat – if it has an ingredient that you’re having difficulties to pronounce, like potassium benzoate, then disregard that item. Only eat whole, minimally processed foods. Dairy, meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. These are the basics of a healthy diet. And drink water too. Never drink sugary beverages, they’re just ruining your body. Do this and you’ll be healthier than you have ever imagined.

3.       Practice the Kegel. This ties up with the first point, but it’s slightly different. These are so called pelvic floor exercises, and you do them by contracting the kegel muscles. This will make your sex organs a lot more strong and powerful. If you want detailed instructions then there are many resources online. Do this exercise once a day, for about ten minutes.

If you accept these three recommendations and implement them in your life, you’ll find out that your overall health will improve immensely, and your sexual health will receive its fair share of improvement as well. It’s up to you now. Try them and see the results for yourself.

Safest Contraception Options: Combined Shots

How These Contraception Options Work

Combined injectable contraceptive, also known as CIC, birth control shot, or combined shot, is one of the safest contraception options. Combined injectable contraceptive means that a woman is given intramuscular injections in every four weeks or every three months. The injection contains progestin and synthetic estrogen. These hormones prevent the egg from leaving the ovaries (it prevents the process called ovulation). Combined injectable contraceptive also makes cervical mucus thicker, this way, the sperm is unable to reach the egg. CIC also makes the lining of the womb thinner. CIC works like combined oral contraceptives, however, it is their safer version, since CIC has a lower failure rate. CIC has another advantage over birth control pills: you do not have to take a pill every day, so there is no risk of forgetting it. Those who take birth control pills may forget to take a pill, which makes the method less effective. Ideally, you have to take a pill at the same time every day, even a couple of hours of difference can make these types of contraceptives less effective.

Types of Contraceptives: Availability

CIC is injected by a health care provider. It is injected in the muscles of the upper arm, buttocks, or thigh.
Cyclofem, Novafem, Mesigyna, Lunelle and Cyclo-Provera are combined injectable contraceptive brands. These types of contraceptives appeared in the United States in the early 2000’s, but they are not available anymore. They are still available in several countries of the world. These days, depot medroxyprogesterone acetate, also called DMPA or Depo-Provera, is the only combined injectable contraceptive that is available in the United States. You can get a shot once every three months.
When you get a combined shot, it elevates your hormone levels, which will slowly decrease during the following weeks. After three months (or one months, depending on the types of contraceptives), you are supposed to get another shot. Do not wait longer than 3 months (or one month, 33 days at most), because any delay has a negative impact on the effectiveness of the method.

Effectiveness of Contraception Options

Getting injections is a safe and discreet way to avoid pregnancy. There is no way to tell that you use such contraception options, so you can keep it secret if you want to.
CIC has a very low failure rate, only 0.2 %, which means that out of 500 women who use combined injectable contraceptives as a birth control method, only 1 gets pregnant. The failure rate might be higher if the woman waits longer than 3 months (or one month) between two injections.
CIC is a convenient way of birth control, since it is a long-acting contraception, it does not require lots of effort and time, and it has no unpleasant side-effects. Some other contraception options intervene with menstrual bleeding, they may cause pain, intense bleeding, or irregular cycles. 

On the other hand, these types of contraceptives can provide good cycle control. CIC may make your period easier and more predictable: you may experience lighter bleeding or less days of bleeding. Since menstrual bleeding is very unpleasant and leaves women tired and angry, many women are happy that CIC can reduce the days of menstruation or the intensity of bleeding. CIC may cause slight changes in your period, but these symptoms are minor and they stop within a few weeks, or, at least, when you quit taking injection. Combined injectable contraceptives do not cause a decline in your libido.
Once you stop taking the injection, you still will not get pregnant for about a month until the effect wears out. After 4 to 6 weeks, you will have your chance to get pregnant.

Safety

CIC is one of the contraception options that are safe for women who live with AIDS and use antiretroviral medicines. However, CIC does not offer any protection from sexually transmitted diseases. If you use such types of contraceptives, make sure that you use other forms of protection, for instance, condom.

You should not use combined injectable contraceptives when you are breastfeeding a child who is younger than 6 months. If you smoke and you are over 35, you should not choose such contraception options: just like oral contraceptives, CIC can contribute to cardiovascular diseases and blood clotting. If you have high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, or some types of cancer, or you are prone to blood clotting, then this method is not safe for you. Neither should you use combined injectable contraceptives if you have migraine. If you have diabetes, you live with depression, you are allergic to hormones, or you have any kind of liver disease, you should not get combined shots.

The side-effects of combined shots are minor. They may include headache, breast pain, weight gain, irregular bleeding, weakness and nausea. It may affect sexual health and cause sexual dysfunction.

CIC may cause a loss of bone density if you are using this method for more than two years in a row.

Before you decide to use CIC, you should consult with your gynecologist. Inform your doctor about any medication you take and any health issue you may have.

Birth Control: How Not to Get Pregnant

Thousands of women want to know how not to get pregnant against their will. Birth control and planned parenthood are amongst the most sensitive, most debated areas of sex and sexual health. Safe sex is part of your well-being. One occasion of carelessness is enough to turn your life upside down – so it is important to know how not to get pregnant. Always use protection.

Birth control includes all the methods that you can use to prevent pregnancy: birth control pills, condoms, intrauterine devices, vasectomy, tubal ligation, hysterecotomy (partial or radical).

How Not to Get Pregnant: Hormonal Contraception

Hormonal contraceptives are safe. If you want to know how not to get pregnant, read the following list of hormonal methods.

Combined oral contraceptives, commonly known as birth control pills, are amongst your safest choices. These pills contain hormones named progestin and estrogen. This method has a failure rate of 0.5 percent if used perfectly, its typical failure rate is 9%. It is important to follow your gynecologist’s advice and read the medicine label carefully. It is best if you take your pill at the very same time every single day, for instance, 10.05 p.m. The more accurate you are, the less risk you take.

Progestin only pill or minipill has a failure rate of 9%. It does not contain estrogen. Take the pills at the same time every single day.

An intrauterine device is a T-shaped contraceptive device that a doctor will insert in your womb. It is a long-term solution. It may cause menstrual bleeding that is heavier than usual, and it can cause other painful symptoms like cramps during your period. Its failure rate is low. A copper T intrauterine device can stay inserted in the womb for ten years, it has a failure rate of 0.8%. A hormonal IUD, known as levonorgesterel intrauterine system, LNG IUD, can stay within your womb for five years, its failure rate is 0.2%.

An implant is the safest solution, with a failure rate of 0.05%. Your doctor will insert it beneath your skin on your upper arm. The tiny device contains progestin, released in your body throughout 3 years.
Injections are safe, too, they contain the hormone progestin. You can get a shot every three months. The failure rate is 6 percent, somewhat lower than that of the pill.

Patch should be worn on your lower body – buttocks, abdomen – or upper body, except for the breasts. It releases progestin and estrogen into your system. Put on a new patch every week for three weeks, on the fourth week, you are supposed to have your period. Its failure rate is 9 %, for women over 200 pounds it is higher.

Hormonal vaginal contraceptive ring: you put it inside your vagina and wear it for three weeks. Remove it for a week to have your period, then use another ring. Its failure rate is nine percent.
Emergency contraception must not be used often. It is for cases when you did not use any protection or when protection failed. You can take emergency contraception pills up to 5 days after having sex unprotected.

Barrier Methods

Take your time to learn about methods of how not to get pregnant.
Barrier methods are much less safe than hormonal contraceptives. Do not use them if you want to avoid getting pregnant at any cost.
Diaphragms have a failure rate of 12 percent. Male condoms are good enough to protect you from sexually transmitted diseases, but when it comes to unwanted pregnancy, their failure rate is considerable, 18%. Female condoms have an even higher risk, a failure rate of 21 percent. Spermicides have a failure rate close to 30 percent, which means using them is never a safe option.

Permanent Methods of How Not To Get Pregnant

If you are sure that you do not want children, your best option of how not to get pregnant is contraceptive sterilization.
If you have a radical hysterecotomy or you just get your ovaries removed, you have no chance to get pregnant ever again. If you have a partial hysterecotomy, you leave your ovaries intact, but you get your whole womb removed, you cannot get pregnant. No risk is involved here.
Tubal ligation has a low failure rate, 0,1%. Transcervical sterilization is also safe, with a failure rate of 0,1%. Vasectomy has a similarly low failure rate.

Unsafe Ways

Hopefully you know that the rhythm method and interrupted coitus are absolutely unsafe ways of how to not get pregnant. Even the most vehement naturalists admit that time and again they “result in the births of wonderful children”.

Abortion

Abortion and abortion pill are emergency methods for birth control, only for cases when other protective methods have already failed. There are unfortunate situations in life when it can be an option.

How to take care of your private parts while on vacation?

People make a lot of preparations before they go on a summer vacation. They often bring all kinds of items and in many cases many of those items are completely unnecessary. But what most of them forget is that we should take care of our sexual health and private parts before and while we are on vacation. 

Those who are planning to go in some hot areas should be especially careful because most popular tourist destinations usually have ideal climate for bacteria procreation which can result in some serious infections. That’s why before you go on a summer vacation you should make a well organized plan for intimate hygiene that will protect you from your long, hot journey.
First and foremost check your underwear. Manufacturers today produce underwear made of different materials (some of them are natural and some are artificial). If you are planning to go in some place where the weather is hot then the best option is to wear underwear made of cotton. 

Unlike underwear made of synthetic material, cotton underwear has strong anti-bacterial properties. They tend to soak the sweat which occurs because of the hot weather. Remember to change your underwear regularly. Changing your underwear once a day is a good routine. In this way you can be sure that you are providing ideal amount of freshness and cleanness for your private parts. If you are used to wear daily pantiliners should take a break from them at least while they are on vacation. They are made of synthetic material and no matter how good air flow they provide they are still potentially dangerous for the skin in your vaginal area.

Products for intimate hygiene are very important for sexual health and that’s why they should be part of the necessary items in your bag. Make sure you buy some wipes for intimate hygiene. Thanks to these wipes you can freshen up your private parts especially if the trip is long or in case you are on some excursion where there is no access to water. Depending on your skin type choose wipes with suitable pH levels. These wipes are not suitable for children. Because of the change of climate, environment and water occurrence of fungal or other infections is very probable so take a shampoo for intimate hygiene. These shampoos are very helpful and once again make sure you buy one with appropriate pH level. Besides these medical products you can also make your own home remedy by using sugar-free yoghurt. You can apply this yoghurt on your private parts and keep it for a while. This remedy is highly efficient against fungus.   

If you are planning to stay longer then you will certainly experience a menstrual period while on vacation. Carrying tampons and pantiliners is a must. Of course you can find these items in most stores around the world but it is always good to be cautious.

Finally, if you are going on your summer vacation without a partner, try to avoid sexual intercourses with strangers. But if you still want to do that, make sure that you practice safe sex.

Sexual health and Sexual Enhancement

As men age, it is normal for most of us to suffer from decreased presentation in the bedroom, especially when you compare your prowess to when you were aged 21 years. It is quite obvious that many men start feeling insecure and get distressed by the changes.

That said however; it is only wise to not that this is a natural reason which adds to a reduction in natural blood movement when we are at the arousal stage and it shouldn’t be perceived to be an attack to our manhood.

As we age (men), our natural blood flow throughout stimulation is no-longer bountiful as it was when we were younger, this means, longer, steadier erections are a little less frequent that it was before and this causes quite the distress for the chap and his lovely partner.

Natural causes alongside other contributors leading to decreased blood flow includes:
·         Lack of continuous exercising
·         Smoking
·         Poor Nutrition
These are factors that can kick in even before one reaches the age of 30. Many men that are falling in this bracket are now in pursuit of sexual enhancement (natural) products.

Possible Sexual Enhancement Options

There are plenty of herbal sexual enhancer sex pill which are present in the market and have proven themselves to be some of the greatest boosters for sexual health of countless males. That said however, appropriate exploration in every option needs to be undertaken so that the best creation or guidance gets selected.

The Psychological Method: Music, massages, aromatherapy; these are all psychological aspects which promote relaxation and keep stress at a minimum. Other great ideas include the introduction of role-playing, movies and sex toys.
Well, for now they might seem as cliché ideas that have been popularized by television and ideas that have been watered down to many times, but perhaps some of the best options that are worth trying. They have worked for many men, why not you?

Medical Sexual Enhancement Options: Human growth Hormone also labelled as HGH, are injections that are popularly used for purposes of enhancing sexual desire, duration of erection and enhancing one’s performance.
A word of caution though; as much as this method of usage has confirmed its effectiveness, at times it is not the best option for you as it might elicit distinguished effects.

The Lifestyle Determiner of Sexual Health: the most popular cause why males are after the best male boosters and yet they have no clue about it. Lack of proper exercises, poor nutrition, and fatigue are heavy contributors to reduced sexual fitness in guys which plays a huge role in blood flow all through stimulation.
Natural Male Improvement Invention: supplements and tablets can all be obtained, these are things that provide all natural but safer enhancement to erotic performance. There are plenty of tablet that enhance blood flow.
Other natural products such as herbs (ginseng not forgetting Eurycoma longifolia tongkat ali) are products which are known to be great arousal and solid erection boosters.

Conclusion

When it comes to sexual health and sexual enhancement, conducting research on all probable treatment choices such as; alternative treatments, is a factor that shouldn’t be overlooked. Just see to it that the type of improvement you want is what you get!

Reasons for Missed and Late Menstruation

There are many reasons why your menstrual cycle might be late or even missing but there are few of them are the most probable cause for that.
First and foremost, you might be pregnant. Of course, pregnancy is possible only when a woman had sex with a man without using any type of contraception. However, in some cases even if you have used protection it is possible that it fail to protect you. Pregnancy is possible only with a sexual intercourse, during which the man ejaculates his semen in the vagina, but it can also happen in cases when the man, just before ejaculation, pulls the penis out of the vagina. Anal sex, oral sex and all other types of sex can’t lead to pregnancy. In case you had sexual intercourse that can lead result in pregnancy and the menstrual cycle is late, there are two options for you. You can buy a pregnancy test or you can calculate the so-called fertile days. 

Calculating fertile days is not really the perfect choice for protection because they are not very reliable, but they can help you establish a framework about whether you were fertile during that period or not.
Women are usually most fertile between two menstrual cycles. Sometimes this state is visible thanks to the increased vaginal discharge. This fertile period is also called a period of ovulation.

In order to determine your fertile days you can also use so-called menstrual calendars. These calendars have many purposes – from calculating fertile days to observation of your body’s behavior. These calendars can help your gynecologist a lot because we often can’t remember when the last time we had a period or some other things related with our sexual health. Ovulation can be affected by alcohol, tobacco, drugs, stress, diseases and more. That’s why we can’t rely on calculating the fertile days.   

The link between the moon and menstrual cycles has been proved many times. The moon phase of fertility might occur at any time, no matter when was your last menstruation. The moon fertility period is calculated for each woman individually, based on the time of birth.

Menstruation can be late or missing for many other reasons. One of the major causes of this is of course – stress. Menstruation can fail because your body is trying to establish a new balance. That’s why teenage girls have so many irregular menstruations. Establishing a regular menstrual cycle can last for several years and in order to achieve that women should take care about their diet – eating too much or too little can affect the menstruation. Furthermore, excessive exercising can lead to body exhaustion and this kind of routine can confuse your menstrual cycle.

Irregular menstruation and its absence might be a short-term or long-term occurrence. In cases of long-term irregularities, the best option is to visit your gynecologist. If this is a short-term problem, try to find out what kind of changes in your life happened during that period.

Menstruation can be a great indicator about what is going on in the woman’s body.

Tips to improve your sexual health

A lot of people think that if they are using protection and they are frequently performing STD tests that they have done everything they can for their sexual health. Of course, these things are important but there are few other tips that can help you a lot to determine and improve your sexual health.

Those who want to take care of their sexual health and keep it on a high level should always know their situation in the genital area. This means that you should often explore your intimate zone. In order to keep your sexual and reproductive health in good shape, you must observe and explore it. According to some experts you should check this area every month and if you notice some unusual changes a visit to a doctor is the right thing to do.

They way you are taking a bath can significantly affect your sexual health. Try to avoid perfumed soaps, gels and very hot water. A simple mild soap made of natural ingredients and lukewarm water will get the job done. All those scents from perfumed soaps and gels could lead to vaginal irritations and vaginal dryness and hot water can also impact the moisture in the vagina too. After all, who needs a vagina that smells perfectly if it is very dry?

As you can see dryness can negatively affect the whole sexual act and that’s why you also need to pay attention to the way you dry your intimate area. The best way to do it is if you dry only the upper part of the vagina. Of course we are talking about mons pubis, the area where the hair grows. The inner part should be left to dry in a natural way. This inner part must carry moisture and you shouldn’t feel irritation when you are walking. Because of this humidity you are able to enjoy sex.

Many women think that their vaginas should have pleasant smell and often but products that guarantee that their genital area will smell good. Keep in mind that a healthy vagina doesn’t have any special scent. If you are clean and you don’t have any infection or other complication you don’t need to use those perfumed products. In fact, these products can cause damage instead of helping you. They only have short effects and after that you will have to deal with their side effects. In many cases you will end with some infection.

Every time you suspect that you are suffering from some infection consult your doctor. A lot of women think that they can perform self-diagnosis and buy medications unsuitable for their situation. There are different types of infections that require different treatment. Many of them share the same symptoms such as burning sensation, irritation and itching but they are not the same.

Using lubricants during the sexual intercourse is a great idea. You can use condoms with lubricants or specialized lubricants. These lubricants are good because they reduce the chances of a broken condom and they also reduce the chances of damages to the vagina during the intercourse. If you decide to use lubricants try the ones based on water or silicone.

Use these tips to improve your overall health and achieve complete sexual health.

Some causes of sterility and their treatment

If regular sexual intercourses between two partners don’t result in pregnancy after a year or two we can talk about possible infertility or sterility. According to some statistics there are 10%-15% of couples who are suffering from infertility and the reasons for that can be very different. However there are some causes of sterility or infertility that occur very often which can be successfully treated in a very easy way.

First of all, insufficient nourishment can cause a lot of problems with fertility. This situation leads to anemia and many other even more serious diseases. Many researchers have confirmed that insufficient or below average body weight can be a cause of infertility in both women and men. For most undernourished people, increased amount of food intake during the day and quality nutrition that includes more vitamins, minerals (found in the vegetables and fruits) and proteins, means increased chances of conception. That’s’ why we should all take care of our diet and find food that is especially rich in vitamin B (all of its variants), vitamin C, vitamin E, folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, calcium and magnesium. Keep in mind that fruits and vegetables should be carefully washed and peeled in order to get the best of them. In this way you will avoid the negative effects of pesticides and herbicides that are used while they were growing.

Modern lifestyle is filled with lots of stressful situations and the stress is certainly affecting the fertility of women and men. It has been proved that excessive psychological stress gives negative impact to the libido and fertility. In women it interferes with ovulation while in men it reduces the number of sperm cells. This situation can be avoided if we have clear schedule about our daily and monthly activities. In this way people can have regular and proper rests during the day and the night which eventually leads to better sleep, lower stress levels and enhance the libido and fertility.

Alcohol and tobacco are two products that affects libido in a negative way. Besides that they can lead to sterility. These products are not recommended for people that are trying to conceive and for women that are pregnant too. The only thing that you can do to avoid the effects of these two products is to stop or significantly reduce with their consummation.

In some cases being overweight can also cause sterility, because obese men have bad sperm quality and/or the sperm cells are not very mobile. Obese women have greater chances of developing polycystic ovarian syndrome and other diseases that can affect their sexual health (like irregular periods and hormonal changes). In most cases, obese individuals that are experiencing infertility or sterility become fertile once they reduce their weight on a normal level.

Physical inactivity is another cause of infertility in men and women. However, long physical activity that takes place every day can also have negative impacts when it comes to fertility.

As you can see, the causes of infertility can be different, but the reasons we have outlined here can be influenced.

Testosterone supplements for men

Sex is a very important thing in the lives of many adults, particularly men. It is said that men think about sex every 8 seconds, which means it is very important in their lives. So, if they get to a point where they are unable to get aroused then it could have many negative effects on their mental health as well as their physical health. There are lots of reasons why a man may be unable to perform sexually with his partner. Sometimes it can be attributed to low testosterone production in their body due to old age. As men get older, their adrenal glands produce less testosterone and that makes them unable to form an erection. 

This will force men to take testosterone supplements in order to help their body boost testosterone level production. But, there are some men that have other sexual problems that are not directly related to testosterone production. In fact, an increasing number of young men are having problems getting aroused because of anxiety and depression related issues. Young people in this day and age have a lot of stress to deal with, which can take a negative toll on their bodies. A person who is depressed does not have a high sex drive either. What makes it worse is that most antidepressant medications have negative side effects that include a low sex drive. That means the depression and the medication will both be contributing towards the erectile dysfunction.
        
So, how does someone overcome depression in order to get aroused? Unfortunately, depression is not something that has a cure. Instead, you have to make lifestyle changes that will make you feel better physically and mentally. If you just rely on medication then you will only get temporary relief from your depression symptoms while obtaining undesirable side effects at the same time. The most natural method of improving your overall health is to do cardiovascular exercise, whether it is walking, jogging, running, swimming or cycling. This kind of exercise will make you feel better because endorphins in the brain get released to make you feel more relaxed. Exercise will also help your body naturally produce more testosterone as well. With the combination of depression relief and more testosterone, you are bound to have a much higher sex drive than you are normally used to. Natural methods for increasing your sexual health are always better than unnatural methods, like medication.

Natural testosterone supplements

The topic of sex used to only be discussed in private amongst couples. It used to be that younger couples would have sex, get married and then raise a family. Then as couples got older, they would naturally lose interest in sex and eventually sleep in separate beds. Since sexual health problems were something not discussed in public, people never knew how to fix their sexual problems. Now days the topic of sex is very openly discussed amongst everyone. Older people are starting to realize that they can get their interest in sex back and continue to sleep with their wives. The secret has to do with testosterone production. As people get older, their adrenal glands stop producing as much testosterone as it used to. This causes a person to have a lower sex drive, which means they won’t get aroused or have any desire to have sex. The solution to this problem revolves around ways to get the adrenal glands to start producing more testosterone once again.

            There are two basic methods of increasing testosterone production in the body. The most natural way is to do cardiovascular exercise. This could be a simple 20 minute walk or jog in the morning. Not only will this raise your sex drive, but it will keep your heart healthy as well. Of course, we live in an age where people don’t want to hear about exercise or solutions that require much effort. Many people would rather just take a sex pill to solve their medical problem. Fortunately, there are testosterone supplements that come in the form of a pill that will help the body produce more testosterone. What’s even better is that these pills can be bought over-the-counter at your local drug store. This is convenient for people that don’t have a lot of money to spend on a doctor’s examination. Of course, if you do have the money to spend on a doctor then it is always a better idea to get your testosterone supplements from them. 

The reason for this is because they will measure your body’s testosterone level in order to determine how much more testosterone you actually need to increase your sex drive. Then they will write you a prescription for a testosterone supplement, so that you will have the exact amount you need without having too much. Men don’t really seem to care if they have too much, but women sure do. After all, women are naturally not supposed to produce as much testosterone as men. So, if they overdose on the testosterone supplement then they could start seeing negative side effects. However, women don’t normally need to take these supplements for their sexual health. Men are the ones that need to get an erection, so they desperately need testosterone.

The Importance of Sexual Health

Sex is incredibly pleasurable. This often results in people being blind to the dangers of sex. In fact, the majority of sex health problems (including an unwanted pregnancy) are actually preventable. This means that if the person had taken precautionary measures then they would not have put themselves into a position which is potentially life changing. On this page I want to take a little look at the idea of sex health and what you can do to ensure that you practice safe sex.

Now, one of the main things that is drilled into us when we are young in any sex health class is that unprotected sex can lead to pregnancy. Any time that you have sex (even when the woman is on the period) you will be running the risk of an unwanted pregnancy. If you do not want a child then you ARE going to need to take precautions. Using condoms is going to go a long way here. However, there is more that you can do. For example, if a woman is having sex regularly then she may want to look into the idea of a birth control pill. There will be plenty of family planning clinics in the local area who will be able to help you out with this (many also offer free condoms if you are unable to afford it!). If you have just started to have sex then I do suggest that you head to one of these clinics. They will be able to give you all sorts of information on sex health that can help you out. Now, it is worth noting that the only way to prevent pregnancy is by not having sex at all. All forms of contraception can fail from time to time. This is why I have suggested using more than one form of protection. It reduces the risk considerably.

Of course, sexual diseases are another reason as to why you will want to practice sexual health. You should NEVER have sex with somebody unprotected if you are unsure of their sexual history. There are many people out there who have 'slept around' with people only to find that they have conditions such as HIV later on down the line. This is obviously going to shorten your life considerably. There are also conditions which have absolutely no symptoms but can have life changing consequences. For example, you may not know you are having sex with somebody who has the chlamydia virus. However, if you contract it there is a good chance that you will suffer from fertility issues throughout your life. The only way to prevent sexual diseases when it comes to sex health is to use a condom. As mentioned before though, there is no completely perfect method that you can use. In fact, the only way that you can guarantee that you do not contract a sexual disease is by not having sex in the first place!

How to Start Having Better Orgasms

The key to having a successful relationship is multifaceted and there are many things which contribute towards a successful and healthy relationship. However, it has been proven through both anecdotal as well as scientific evidence that an important key to healthy and successful long term relationships is the sexual satisfaction of both partners. Put simply this means that if the sex isn't good a relationship is more likely to fail or result in one or both partners being unhappy. Ultimately sexual satisfaction boils down to how good of an orgasm is achieved for both partners involved. For those who are in a sexual relationship which is lacking in sexual satisfaction there are fortunately things that they can do in order to have better and more intense orgasm.

Communication
It is common knowledge that communication is a key component to any healthy relationship yet many couples often leave out the communication when it comes to sex. Everyone's bodies are wired differently and at times it can be virtually impossible to determine whether or not you are adequately satisfying your partner during intercourse. If one does not communicate what they enjoy during sex to their significant other it is almost always guaranteed they will not get what they want. No one is a mind reader. It can be very helpful to talk before having sex about what you like and then also ask your partner what they enjoy during intercourse. Talking about this before sex can also act as a sort foreplay which will also increase the intensity of the intercourse as well as orgasm.

Relax and Take It Slow
Another factor which often contributes to less than satisfying sexual intercourse is rushing the act or being too tense while performing. If one partner always rushes towards orgasm they are not only limiting their depth of orgasm, but they are also most certainly not properly satisfying their partner. An effective way to prolong the time until orgasm is to experiment with foreplay. It is a good idea to engage in at least ten to fifteen minutes of foreplay before beginning intercourse. Many have found that even longer amounts of foreplay result in even more satisfying sexual intercourse. The longer the time between being aroused and orgasm the stronger and more explosive the orgasm will be. It is important to pace yourself during intercourse and concentrate on your partner in order for both of you to have a better orgasm.

Medical Problems
In some cases there may be a medical issue which is holding back a couple's sexual satisfaction. One of the most common is erectile dysfunction. Many men are ashamed to even bring this up with their doctor. However, it is a real medical condition which has a variety of treatments available which can completely reverse the symptoms. People are also often on prescription medications which can limit the intensity of their orgasm and sexual intercourse. If you are taking prescription medication and experiencing sexual dissatisfaction it may be worthwhile to talk to your doctor about possible forms of alternative treatment that will not also negatively impact your sexual health

Just what is premature ejaculation?

There are many men out there who believe that they are suffering from premature ejaculation. I am sure you think you are too. Hence why you are here. Thankfully, most people who believe they have premature ejaculation really do not have it. Read on to find out whether you need to do something about it or not.

In the eye's of a doctor, premature ejaculation occurs when you last one and a half minutes or less in bed. On average men last around 7.3 minutes. However, in the eyes of others, there is no real definition to premature ejaculation. Many people who are surveyed think that lasting less than ten minutes in bed just is not good enough. In fact, there are plenty of people out there who are disappointed that they do not last any longer than twenty minutes. In short, people will always wants lasting longer in bed.

So, what actually causes premature ejaculation? The truth is, nobody really knows. Most sex experts seem to think that is down to early experiences in bed. They believe that most men when they were younger thought that they needed to be 'done' quickly just in case they were caught. This conditioned them to finish very quickly. Other reasons given for premature ejaculation include nervousness and anxiety (this could be caused by anything) or simply a poor diet.

Obviously premature ejaculation can be incredibly trying on a relationship. It can be difficult for both the male and female. It is therefore something which has to be dealt with pretty quickly. Thankfully, there are a number of options out there on the market.

Most cases of premature ejaculation are quite mild. If you are lasting longer than five minutes then you really do not need to head to the doctor. There are a couple of things that you can pick up from your local pharmacy. Perhaps the best option is a gel which reduces sensitivity in the penis. You can also pick up condoms which have the same effect. There are some men out there who also take a bit of alcohol before having sex. I do not suggest this though. Some people can last longer in bed as a result. However, more often than not it CAN lead to erectile dysfunction.

If you are suffering from premature ejaculation and last less than five minutes then you are going to need to look into other techniques. For example, you may want to carry out a bit of research into the masters-johnson method which has been surprisingly effective. You will also want to head on over to your doctor to see if there is any underlying reason as to why you are suffering from premature ejaculation. They will also be able to give you advice! Thankfully, no matter how serious you think your condition is, it is completely treatable. It may take a bit more work for some people. However, once you realize how long you can last in bed, all of that effort will be worth it.
