Sex Positions for Better Sex

As the Kama Sutra — that ancient Indian book on sexuality — shows us, sexual activity is a pursuit of infinite variety. There are hundreds of ways in which male and female bodies can come together for mutual pleasure. Knowing a variety of sex positions can help you be a better and more inventive lover for your partner.
What's the best sex position? That answer is different for every couple. "Every two people fit together differently," says Sandra Leiblum, PhD, a sex therapist and director of psychological services at the New Jersey Center for Sexual Wellness in Bedminster. "Experiment and see what works, but don't get stuck too early with any one position because over time that will get boring."
Better Sex: The Missionary Position
It's a simple sex position: The woman lies on her back with her legs spread and her knees bent slightly. The man lies between her legs and guides his penis into her vagina, supporting his body weight with his arms or elbows.

5 Exercises That Make Sex Better

The problem with this sexual position is that the missionary position is not as good at delivering pleasure to women. The man's pelvis does stimulate the clitoris in this position, and it offers great intimacy through face-to-face contact. But, the angle of the penis does not allow for deep penetration or stimulation of the G-spot (a spot on the front wall of the vagina, believed by some experts to be a stimulus for orgasm in women). Some women also complain that this sex position doesn't provide enough clitoral stimulation to achieve orgasm.
While the missionary position is a popular sexual position in the United States, it is not that popular worldwide. Alfred Kinsey's groundbreaking studies on sexuality in the mid-20th century found that as many as 70 percent of U.S. men reported using just this sex position, to the exclusion of all others.
"In most cultures, it is not the most used position," says Beverly Whipple, PhD, RN, professor emerita of Rutgers University in New Jersey and secretary general of the World Association for Sexual Health. "Cultures would laugh when they saw the missionaries having sex in that position. That's why it was called the missionary position."

Better Sex: Other Sex Positions
If you are looking to spice up your sexual experience and achieve better sex, try some of the following sex positions.


Woman on top: "Woman on top is better for women who want to be in control and guide the stimulation," Dr. Leiblum says. The angle of the penis allows for deep penetration and G-spot stimulation, and the male partner can contribute to the woman's pleasure by using his fingers to rub her clitoris. Plus, men are very responsive to visual stimuli and this sex position allows the man to lie back and watch his female partner.
In this sex position the man lies on his back, and the woman faces him and kneels, straddling his pelvis and guiding his penis into her vagina. She can sit up or lie down on him. She also can move in an up-and-down motion or roll her hips around.

Rear Entry: Also referred to as "doggy style," this is the best sex position for deep penetration of the vagina. It gives the man freedom to thrust his pelvis hard and fast, and allows him to caress much of the woman's body. The position also allows for good G-spot stimulation.
The woman kneels on all fours, supporting herself with hands and knees. The man crouches behind her and enters her vagina from the rear.
One drawback: Some women complain that this sex position is too impersonal because there's no face-to-face contact.
Side by Side: This position allows for slow and romantic sex. The partners are facing each other and can kiss and caress each other during lovemaking. The sex position is relaxing, and doesn't require a lot of stamina from either person. It's also good for people who are overweight or obese. "If one or both of the partners is extremely heavy, side to side may be better so that no one partner has to bear the weight," Leiblum says. There is good clitoral stimulation in this position, but penetration is limited.
During side by side sex, the man and woman lie on their sides, facing each other. The woman lifts her top leg so the man can insert his penis. She can then wrap the leg around his waist or lay it across his top leg.
If you’ve been with the same partner for some time, using the same sexual position, maybe it’s time for a little variety, which, it’s been said, is the spice of life.

Sex Toys and Other Sexual Aids Spice up your sex life with vibrators and other sex toys.

Sex toys are a great way to fire up a sexual relationship that has gotten stale, keep an already great sex life exciting, or find new ways to bring pleasure to yourself and your partner. Some people may be embarrassed or nervous about bringing sex toys into the bedroom, but if you first talk with your partner about his or her comfort level with the idea, you may find that you're both willing to try.
Types of Sex Toys
"Vibrators and other sex toys or devices can help bring increased pleasure and intimacy in a couple's sexual relationship," says Evelyn Fisboin, MS, a registered marriage and family therapist intern at the Mind Spectrum Institute in North Miami Beach, Fla. "Vibrators can aid in peoples’ sexual skills. They can also increase the individual’s and their partner's pleasure, and can enrich their sex lives," says Fisboin.
But don't limit yourself to experimenting with one sex aid when there are so many out there:

• Ben Wa balls. These are a set of metal balls that are placed inside the vagina and vibrate when the two balls come into contact with one other. Ben Wa balls can be used by women alone, or by couples together.
• Pre-shaped (not rolled) condoms. Also called novelty condoms or French ticklers. These shaped condoms can stimulate the inside of the vagina for better sensation during intercourse.
• Penis rings or extenders. These sex toys can help the penis seem larger. A penis ring can also help an erection last longer. (Also called C-rings)

Creams and oils featuring different scents, flavors, and textures can also be used as sensual aids. They can make the skin feel smooth and soft, and flavor the skin for oral sex or body kissing. They may also be used as lubricants.
Sex Toy Safety
"Sex toys are made out of porous materials, and the pores make it difficult to clean the toy fully; therefore, remember to always put a condom on the sex toy before using it and take it off when you are done; this will contribute to better hygiene," notes Fisboin.
Make sure that toys are always cleaned properly so that sex with sex aids stays safe and sanitary. Infections and other diseases can be spread via sex toys just as they can during unprotected intercourse.
If you are using sex aids to enhance both vaginal and anal sex, you should change condoms in between positions, according to Fisboin.
"If you are using the same sex toy for anal and for vaginal penetration, then you also have to use a fresh condom for anal penetration and a fresh one for vaginal penetration. This avoids transmitting infections from the anus to the vagina," says Fisboin.
Talk About Sex Toys
"Remember that having open and honest communication is key. Do some research, learn about the different products and sex toys that are out in the market. When you and your partner decide that the time is right, go out and purchase a sex toy and start a safe, fun, and exciting journey to increased pleasure in your sexual relationship," says Fisboin.

Menopause and Sexual Problems

If the sexual problem is caused by a medical or physical problem, your health care provider or consulting specialist will suggest an appropriate treatment plan. This will vary, of course, depending on the nature of the problem. The plan may include medication, lifestyle changes, or surgery. Your health care provider may recommend counseling even if the problem is physical.  Effective therapies are readily available for some physical problems.

• Vaginal lubricants -- These products are highly recommended for women with vaginal dryness. Water-based products (Slick & Silly) are the best choices. Oil-based products such as petroleum jelly, mineral oil, or baby oil can interact with latex condoms and cause them to break.
• Topical estrogen -- These products can help make sex more comfortable for menopausal women with vaginal dryness or sensitivity. Estrogen is applied as a cream or vaginal insert. These products are available by prescription and are very effective for some women.
• Clitoral therapy device -- The Eros clitoral therapy device has been approved by the FDA to treat women with disorders of sexual arousal. The device consists of a small suction cup, which is placed over the clitoris before sex, and a small, battery-operated vacuum pump. The gentle suction provided by the vacuum pump draws blood into the clitoris, increasing pressure on the clitoral nerve. This device increases lubrication, sensation, and even the number of orgasms in many women who have used it. The device is available by prescription. (Or try the Super Mini Bullet, Tickle Baby or any other bullets)
• Drugs -- Viagra is the well-known "erection drug" for men. It is used to treat erectile dysfunction, a common sexual problem among men. No similar drug is yet available for women. The effects of Viagra in women have been studied, but results are not conclusive. In some studies, the drugs helped with arousal problems, but in another important study, they did not. The drug has the same side effects in women as in men, including headache, flushing, nasal congestion and irritation, abnormal vision, and stomach upset. It can worsen retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary degenerative disease affecting the eye. Most importantly, it can cause dangerously low blood pressure and has been linked to unexplained heart attacks in men. Viagra cannot be taken by people who take a nitrate drug for a heart condition, because the combination can be deadly.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) -- HRT has been used to relieve symptoms of menopause for years.

• It comes in two forms, estrogen only (ERT) and combination estrogen-progestin, a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone (HRT). ERT generally is used for women who have had a hysterectomy, while HRT is used for women who still have their uterus, because the progestin protects the uterus from the effects of too much estrogen, especially uterine cancer.
• For many years, HRT was believed to have many beneficial effects for menopausal women, continuing the protective effect that estrogen provides naturally before menopause. These benefits were thought to include protecting against heart disease, high cholesterol, colon cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and osteoporosis. New research findings published in 2002 called these beliefs into question. Long-term use of HRT or ERT was linked to significantly higher risks of breast cancer, heart attack, stroke, blood clots (from one kind of HRT), and ovarian cancer (from ERT). The research did show that HRT protects against osteoporosis and colon cancer, but the risks are considered to outweigh the benefits.
• HRT can be very effective in some women in relieving vaginal dryness and discomfort during intercourse, as well as symptoms such as hot flashes and sleep problems.
• Most experts believe that short-term use of HRT for treatment of menopausal symptoms is safe.
• The safety of long-term use of HRT is very questionable. Most experts recommend that women who have taken HRT for five years or longer stop taking it.
• Each woman's need for HRT and risks in taking HRT are unique to her. These should be discussed in detail with your health care provider.
• Use of HRT in menopausal women is now considered on a case-by-case basis.

Your Guide to the Sexual Response Cycle

The sexual response cycle refers to the sequence of physical and emotional changes that occur as a person becomes sexually aroused and participates in sexually stimulating activities, including intercourse and masturbation. Knowing how your body responds during each phase of the cycle can enhance your relationship and help you pinpoint the cause of any sexual problems.

What Are the Phases of the Sexual Response Cycle?

The sexual response cycle has four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. Both men and women experience these phases, although the timing usually is different. For example, it is unlikely that both partners will reach orgasm at the same time. In addition, the intensity of the response and the time spent in each phase varies from person to person. Understanding these differences may help partners better understand one another's bodies and responses, and enhance the sexual experience.

Phase 1: Excitement

General characteristics of the excitement phase, which can last from a few minutes to several hours, include the following:

• Muscle tension increases.
• Heart rate quickens and breathing is accelerated.
• Skin may become flushed (blotches of redness appear on the chest and back).
• Nipples become hardened or erect.
• Blood flow to the genitals increases, resulting in swelling of the woman's clitoris and labia minora (inner lips), and erection of the man's penis.
• Vaginal lubrication begins.
• The woman's breasts become fuller and the vaginal walls begin to swell.
• The man's testicles swell, his scrotum tightens, and he begins secreting a lubricating liquid.

Phase 2: Plateau

General characteristics of the plateau phase, which extends to the brink of orgasm, include the following:

• The changes begun in phase 1 are intensified.
• The vagina continues to swell from increased blood flow, and the vaginal walls turn a dark purple.
• The woman's clitoris becomes highly sensitive (may even be painful to touch) and retracts under the clitoral hood to avoid direct stimulation from the penis.
• The man's testicles are withdrawn up into the scrotum.
• Breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure continue to increase.
• Muscle spasms may begin in the feet, face, and hands.
• Muscle tension increases.

Phase 3: Orgasm

The orgasm is the climax of the sexual response cycle. It is the shortest of the phases and generally lasts only a few seconds. General characteristics of this phase include the following:

• Involuntary muscle contractions begin.
• Blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing are at their highest rates, with a rapid intake of oxygen.
• Muscles in the feet spasm.
• There is a sudden, forceful release of sexual tension.
• In women, the muscles of the vagina contract. The uterus also undergoes rhythmic contractions.
• In men, rhythmic contractions of the muscles at the base of the penis result in the ejaculation of semen.
• A rash, or "sex flush" may appear over the entire body.

Phase 4: Resolution

During resolution, the body slowly returns to its normal level of functioning, and swelled and erect body parts return to their previous size and color. This phase is marked by a general sense of well-being, enhanced intimacy and, often, fatigue. Some women are capable of a rapid return to the orgasm phase with further sexual stimulation and may experience multiple orgasms. Men need recovery time after orgasm, called a refractory period, during which they cannot reach orgasm again. The duration of the refractory period varies among men and usually lengthens with advancing age.

Lost Your Sex Drive?

Lost Your Sex Drive?

Top libido busters, from medical conditions to stress, could be causing your lowered sex drive.

By Matt McMillen
WebMD the Magazine - Feature

Reviewed by Louanne Cole Weston, PhD

Sometimes you can't when you want to. Sometimes you want to when you can't. Sex drive killers come in all guises. They strike men and women, young and old. They can target your brain and your body. For Bonne Oliverio, a retired information specialist who lives just outside Cleveland, the drugs she takes for multiple sclerosis cause vaginal dryness, a real anti-aphrodisiac.

"For 45 years, I've had a really good, solid marriage, especially sexually," says Oliverio, 65, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis about 15 years ago. "But the medication and pain really interfere with our sex life."

Causes of Libido Loss

Medications that often drag down your sex drive include antidepressants and blood pressure medications, antihistamines and -- ironically -- oral contraceptives. But meds are just one of a myriad of libido busters. Other common culprits include:
Erectile dysfunction. ED might not cause a drop in your sex drive, but worrying about it sure can. (Try Forever Yours and a Ringo)
Menopause. Hormonal changes can make sex painful, but don't ignore the other related causes that can sap your sex drive. Low self-esteem and body image blues are big turnoffs. (Try Slick & Silly, it's a great water-based lubricant)
Depression. A vicious cycle, depression can cause your sex drive to dip precipitously, and that drop-off can further fuel your depression.
Stress. Worrying and wooing do not mix. Stress keeps you from focusing on your partner -- and your pleasure -- and saps the energy you need to perform.
Alcohol. You may feel like Don Juan after a couple of drinks, but alcohol can leave you feeling numb just when you need to be aroused.

Other causes include sleeplessness, lack of intimacy, obesity -- we could go on. Sex drive killers are legion, after all. Rare, though, are doctors who ask their patients about their sex lives.  "Doctors are just not good at asking about it, even gynecologists," says Carolyn Nemec, MD, a family physician who specializes in female sexual dysfunction and sexual medicine at the Cleveland Clinic.  Nemec has been Oliverio's physician for the past two years. Their initial conversation led to a treatment -- an estrogen ring that reduces dryness -- that has helped Oliverio get her groove back. In fact, successful treatments exist for many causes of low libido, if only you and your doctor talk about it.  But, says Nemec, "One study found that doctors asked about their patients' sex lives only 5% to 10% of the time. We need to do better. People are suffering and we aren't asking."

How to Increase Your Libido

Check out these three tips to help keep your sex drive from getting stuck in neutral.

Technique matters. "Know your body and how it works," says Carolyn Nemec, MD. "We can pick up a cookbook, so why can't we pick up a sex book?" (www.partygalsbykaren.biz)
Take care of your ticker. "Cholesterol, anything that affects the heart, that reduces blood flow, affects sex," Nemec says. "And people who exercise have more and better sex."
Get tested. Hormone imbalances can cause trouble for men and women, Nemec says. Ask your doctor to see how your levels measure up.

Good Health & Sex

You don't need to be model-thin to have a wonderful sex life, but if you're uncomfortable with your weight, you may not be at your best in the bedroom for a few reasons.
"Being overweight may deflate your libido, especially if you don't feel attractive," says Kleiner.
Extra body fat raises the specter of elevated blood glucose levels that can damage the blood vessels and nerves that allow for arousal and sexual pleasure.  It also increases the risk for high blood pressure and clogged arteries.

Clear, flexible arteries allow maximum blood flow to all the right places during sex, enhancing your pleasure.
A balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and other lean protein foods helps to control your blood pressure, blood cholesterol levels, and your weight. But don't cut too many calories.

According to Reichman, upon menopause, women lose 90% of their circulating estrogen, which may result in less blood flowing to the genitals and diminished capacity for arousal.  Body fat offers some protection, because, like your ovaries, it produces estrogen.

Whatever your weight, exercise may help to ignite your love life by improving circulation, managing blood pressure, increasing energy levels, and helping you to look better, which can have a positive effect on your sex life.  (Try our Party Gals Pole!

The Couple that Eats Together, Sleeps Together?

If you enjoy foods with a reputation for making you hot to trot, you may be thinking about whipping up meals that will knock your socks off, and your partner's. "A delicious meal can be a prelude to sex," Kleiner says.
The act of cooking together can be a form of foreplay, and the smell of food can ignite intimacy, too.
According to Greaves, research has shown that the aroma of pumpkin pie, cheese pizza, and buttered popcorn induced blood flow to the penis, and the combination of pumpkin pie and lavender did the best job.  Women, on the other hand, responded to a combination of Good & Plenty and cucumber.
The smell of vanilla is particularly alluring.  "Add vanilla extract to whole grain French toast or drop a vanilla bean into your champagne," she recommends. (Try Party Gals Seduction Body Dew in Vanilla) If you're not interested in any of the foods with a reputation for enhancing your love life, are you doomed to a lust-free existence? Not at all.

What matters most is that you and your partner dine on meals that include foods that you both enjoy, as long as you don't overeat or drink yourself into a stupor, Kleiner says. She puts it this way: "What you eat on a daily basis is far more important to overall sexual satisfaction that a single meal."

Aphrodisiacs for a Spicer Sex Life

Sexually Suggestive Fruits and Vegetables

Some people find produce erotic. Bananas, asparagus, cucumbers and carrots speak for themselves on that score.
Avocados, Greaves says, were prized by the Aztecs, who called them "testicle trees" because they grow in pairs. Ancient Greeks and Romans feasted on figs to promote potency.  And let's not forget pomegranates, also known as "love apples."
Those ancient civilizations were on to something. Fruits and vegetables are loaded with vitamins and minerals required to produce sex hormones necessary for sexual arousal and pleasure.

Honey

Ever wonder where the term "honeymoon" came from?
Centuries ago, newlyweds in Europe drank honey wine during the first month of marriage to improve their sexual stamina. As a bonus, the long-ago lovebirds also got small amounts of beneficial vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from honey.

Chocolate

The Aztec emperor Montezuma's chocolate consumption is legendary. Rumor has it that he drank 50 glasses of honey-sweetened chocolate a day in the name of virility.
Perhaps Montezuma valued chocolate for its feel-good qualities, too.  Cocoa beans contain phenylethamine, a compound that triggers the release of endorphins, compounds associated with pleasure.
Nowadays, cocoa powder processed without alkaline provides the biggest bang for the buck. It contains the highest levels of the antioxidants associated with lower blood cholesterol levels, reduced inflammation in blood vessels, and maximum blood flow. Darker chocolate contains more cocoa powder.

Oysters

Oysters are dripping with dopamine, a compound that stirs feelings of sexual desire, and pleasure. These mollusks are also bursting with zinc, a mineral that fosters the production of testosterone, necessary for arousal and pleasure in men and women.
You may need to resist the temptation to ply your paramour with raw oysters - your romantic interlude could end with a severe case of food poisoning. Most raw oysters in the U.S. carry a bacterium called Vibrio vulnificus.  Healthy people are unlikely to have adverse affects from eating raw oysters, but those with diabetes, liver disease, immune systems disorders, and other chronic diseases can end up with a severe infection that may be fatal.

Salmon

You can't get down when you're uptight. Eating salmon can help brighten your disposition.
"Salmon harbors an abundance of omega-3 fats, which qualifies it as a natural mood booster," says Susan Kleiner, PhD, RD, author of The Good Mood Diet: Feel Great While You Lose Weight.
Salmon also supplies large amounts of vitamin D.  Researchers at the University of Toronto have found that vitamin D appears to work in the brain like many antidepressant medications do: by raising levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that induces feelings of calm and banishes bad moods.

Garlic

Rich in antioxidants that protect against cell damage, garlic is said to stir sexual desire and increase blood flow, says Greaves.
Just be sure to eat as much as your bed partner, as the effects of garlic can linger on your breath for hours.

Alcohol

Nothing says seduction like popping the cork on the best bottle of bubbly money can buy, if that's what you enjoy.
A drink a day may help reduce the risk of heart disease in healthy people, but more than that may turn your tryst into a snooze fest.
Alcohol is a central nervous system downer.  Chronic drinking is linked to erectile dysfunction, which will put a damper on lovemaking.
