What makes sex utterly irresistible? The answer is unique for everyone, but it often falls into one of these four tantalising categories:

 

  1. Emotional Connection: The deep, lingering bond felt during and after sex.
  2. Power and control: The electrifying thrill and comforting security when a partner takes the lead.
  3. Sensory Overload: The breathtaking sensations that ripple through the entire body.
  4. Feeling Desired: The seductive anticipation built through teasing and flirting, making you feel utterly irresistible before, during and after sex.

When Sex Positions Go Wrong

Sex positions and scenarios can go from steamy to stressful when communication breaks down. Anxiety, discomfort, or even injury can sneak in. But fear not! Keeping an open dialogue with your partner ensures both of you stay in the pleasure zone.

 

Did you know that doggy style is the riskiest position for men, responsible for 41% of penile fractures? The man on top position followed closely behind. As with everything medical research, research on positions causing the most injuries for women is lacking, however,  surveys suggest that doggy and man-on-top are often the culprits for discomfort.
