Truths About Sex Everyone Should Know
A relationship always requires effort if you want it to last.
A certified sex coach shared on social media seven truths about sex that everyone should keep in mind. Sex should be fun, messy, and sometimes even weird. What happens not only during sex, but also before and after, is important.
According to Mail Online, certified sex coach Todd Baratz says that almost everyone has some issue related to sex and sexuality. The key is to unlearn what harms us and to learn what benefits us. Even a small step forward can mean a major positive shift in a relationship.
It’s nothing to be ashamed of
One of the most important things to learn, according to Baratz, is that sex is not something you should be ashamed of. It’s not wrong, as long as you’re not hurting anyone. Very often, people lack proper sexual education, which leads to feelings of shame as well as other problems.
What happens before and after sex matters too
For understandable reasons, many people attach the greatest importance to the act of sex itself. But for a relationship, what happens right before and after is also crucial. Sex isn’t just biological - it’s psychological and emotional. What happens before can turn the experience into something awful - or something magical.
It’s messy, fun, and weird
Many of us grew up on Hollywood movies, which distort expectations about relationships and sex. But in reality, it’s almost never perfect with the right soundtrack playing in the background. Sometimes it’s simply fun, weird, and messy. It’s better to accept this rather than stress over it and feel awkward.
Sex isn’t just penetration
The idea that sex equals penetration is outdated. It also includes things like masturbation. This limited view often leads people to think they need to fake an orgasm for the experience to feel complete.
Sex is an interaction
According to the sex coach, sex is not always automatically pleasurable and doesn’t work like a reflex. It’s an interaction that happens in a particular context and within a relationship. That’s why it’s important to communicate with your partner and work toward making it a mutually enjoyable experience.
Orgasm
People still believe that orgasms are like what they see in porn films. But the truth is, it’s not always that simple. Sometimes, it takes exploration to discover what can bring you to orgasm in a fulfilling way.
Be a little selfish
The sex coach’s final piece of advice is to be a little selfish. If you want to experience pleasure, that should be your priority during sex. Of course, it’s not only about that - but it is an important part.
