Face flushed? Out of breath? Feeling all tingly and satisfied? Whether you’ve had a good session in the gym or the bedroom, your body’s reaction is the same. This is because sex and exercise are inextricably linked: the more you exercise, the better your sex life will be. But, just as certain workouts boost certain parts of the body, there are exercises you can do to really set your sexual exploits on fire. Here’s how to choose the right ones to light the spark… 

How to… BOOST SEXUAL STAMINA
It takes the average woman 12 minutes to reach orgasm. So, in certain positions, that could be equivalent to 12 minutes of non-stop squats! With a few added benefits, of course…
DO IT: Work on your thighs, hamstrings, bum, hip flexors and calf muscles with barbell squats. ‘Do three sets of 12-15 repetitions,’ says personal trainer Ray Klerck. ‘If you can hold the squat for a moment at the bottom, you’ll really work those leg muscles.’ Read more

Meditation has become a popular practice over the years, helping to combat stress and promote mental well-being.

But it seems the daily ritual isn’t only a form of rest and relaxation – it can also improve your sex life.

Women who are able to train their thoughts while love-making experience more pleasure between the sheets, a study has revealed. Read more

Step 1:

First, get undressed and lie on your back using a pillow for neck support. Your legs should be bent and spread, feet together in butterfly position. If this makes your hips uncomfortable on one or both sides, just put pillows underneath the knees.

Your guy should sit to your right side on top of at least two pillows and straddle his bent left leg perpendicularly across her torso, foot flat on the opposite side. (It almost looks as if he’s on top in reverse cowgirl position, except his weight will be to the side of your torso.) Read more

Since the pelvic floor muscles are the muscles that that surround the vaginal opening and contract rhythmically during orgasm, it is not surprising that sex therapist emphasize the importance of the PC muscles in the orgasmic response. Nevertheless, there is controversy over the exact effects of the PC muscles on orgasmic response but certain benefits of a strong pelvic floor are well accepted.

A fitter, well-toned pelvic floor will almost certainly increase sexual pleasure for you and your partner, and it can dramatically improve your sexual confidence. The physiological reasons for the improvement go far beyond the increased tactile sensations resulting from a tighter vagina. Read more

The female orgasm is a phenomenon misunderstood by most men and even by women, themselves. While there are false ideas regarding male orgasm, I’m going to focus more on the mysteries surrounding female orgasm. Let me share with you three of the most common myths about the female orgasm:

Myth 1: The larger the penis, the greater the chance of female orgasm.

Men have worried for ages about the size of their penis. The truth is that size really doesn’t matter all that much when it comes to female orgasm. Since only the first two inches of a woman’s vagina are sensitive to stimulation, anything over that amount is kind of useless during intercourse, at least from the woman’s physical perspective. In fact, when men are overly concerned with the size of their penis and whether it’s sufficient, their minds aren’t focused on pleasuring their partner, and that is no way to experience female orgasm.

Many people see nipples and breasts as the second most erogenous area of the body next to the genitals. For women, having our breasts caressed and nipples sucked releases oxytocin, the chemical that makes us feel like we’re in love. The nipples, in particular, are filled with nerve endings, making them especially tuned in to touch. Men enjoy stimulating the breasts during foreplay, but relatively few women have ever had an orgasms strictly form breast stimulation. Given that there is very little information on breast or nipple orgasm, most people discover nipple orgasm purely by accident. Read more

“In just fifteen minutes every woman can become orgasmic,” the PDF promised. It was part of a press kit for a new book about sex called Slow Sex: The Art and Craft of the Female Orgasm by Nicole Daedone. That the PDF told me all kinds of other things about the book, its philosophy and practice and its author, didn’t matter, all I could do was groan.

I’ve become weary over the years of advice writers, self-help gurus, and authors who capitalize on sex by perpetuating messages that further hinder the enjoyment of our bodies instead of helping us. You’ve seen me rail against the lie-detector techniques perpetuated by AskMen.com, GQ‘s sex-for-chores barter system and even this new craze with the 40 beads. I worry because these suggestions focus on sex in a way that makes it about everything but sex. Read more
