We as
independent people often take sex for granted, but if we did not indulge
in sexual intercourse we would not exist. It is an important part of
anyone's life, affecting us in many ways, there is and always will be
many stigmas and taboos about sex.
Many people find they are unable to talk to others about it, others just
refuse to and push it back into a dark corner of their lives. One stigma
is that girls are pilloried if they have many partners, a guy who has
many is a stud! This still happens to this day even though we have been
'liberated' for a long time. Yet, people are aware that it is 'Normal'
and 'healthy' to have an active sex life.
Here you can interject and say 'what about aids'? STD's. Yes, these
exist and care should be taken, the only safe sex is no sex. There are
some positive health issues regarding sex and of course any exercise is
good for us. Sex has proven to release stress and reduce depression,
though it is agreed those that are depressed lose their libido. You
might say then it is a case of mind over matter! Sex also boosts your
immune system and can reduce heart disease, and of course it is great
exercise!
For women the sexual act is more emotional and means more than just
reducing the need. Women often associate sex with a relationship this is
something men do less of and men often find it strange that women want
more from them than just the physical side. It can often seem to women
that for men it is a simple case
of an electrical charge passing between the brain and the genitals
before they start to have sex. Women, appear to outwardly rely more
upon emotions, and stimulation.
Men do
not tend to worry about their physical appearance during sex, whereas a
woman will often let how she looks dictate what and how far she can go
between the sheets. For example, a woman comfortable with her shape and
size will probably be more likely to have sex with the light on and
manoeuvre into different positions to satisfy not just themselves but
their partner. Men will just do it!!
It is
for these reasons that it is perhaps easier for women to 'bond' into a long lasting
sexual
relationship than it is for a man, and not so easy for women to have
short unemotional sexual encounters. This could explain why women have
been labelled 'unadventurous' and having 'sexual inhibitions'. It is not
impossible for a woman to change her outlook on sex, to become more
adventurous, but it is admittedly easier to do so with a man she is
emotionally involved with.
