Undoubtedly, sex is an activity that should bring us pleasure and nothing more. But what about looking at sex from a scientific angle? In this material, we gathered ten interesting facts that you may not have known.
1. Men have a "G-spot" too. Discussions about the female "G-spot" — the one that can lead to the highest pleasure — are so popular that we don’t even think about whether men have a similar "button." And you will be surprised, but yes. According to research, it is located just under the bladder and can significantly increase the brightness of sex with the right stimulation.
2. Women think about sex more often. Society perceives women as sweet modest persons who allow themselves to think freely in a strictly limited quantity. But surveys showed that in fact, girls think about sex even more often than men, and, in addition to this, would not refuse to have more of it in their lives. According to one study, about 53% of women admitted that they have sex not as often as they would like, while 75% of survey participants expressed a desire to make love at least three times a week.
3. Orgasm is a rather rare phenomenon. So much has been said about ways to achieve orgasm that we don’t think about questioning whether it is normal. However, numerous studies on the subject show that orgasm, in a certain sense, should be considered an achievement — especially for women. About 70% of men in relationships constantly experience orgasm with their partner, but this pleasure is available to only 30% of women.
4. Sex can improve memory. But only in women. A recent study showed that regular sex improves a woman's brain's ability to remember words and entire phrases — this happens due to increased blood flow to the hippocampus of the brain. And while the same effect can be achieved with any aerobic activity, doing it in bed is significantly more pleasant.
5. Spermatozoa are very fast. Despite the fact that sperm appears completely motionless, once it gets inside a woman's body, spermatozoa develop high speed. According to The Naked Scientist, sperm can move at a speed of up to 5 mm/min, which, given the scales, equals the swimming speed of salmon.
6. Size really doesn't matter. Talks about the fact that all women whose partners have an average-sized penis strive for something more significant — a marketing ploy to increase sales of "miraculous drugs" and "magic exercisers." In reality, studies have shown that women are much more likely to cheat on partners with impressive endowment, as this causes them "pain and discomfort during intercourse."
7. Oral sex makes the penis longer. At least, that’s how it will seem to the man. Surveys showed that those of them who regularly engage in oral sex with their partner perceive the size of the penis as larger than it actually is (which does not happen, for example, after masturbation).
8. Apples are great aphrodisiacs. We have all heard of aphrodisiacs like strawberries and oysters, however, ordinary apples can also increase sexual desire. Data from a 2014 study indicates that women who eat apples more than once a day report better sexual function and a permanent attraction to their partner, unlike those who do not.
9. Women are more attractive during ovulation. Although they don’t know it, men are subconsciously more attracted to women during ovulation. This was discovered using dancers in private clubs: it turned out that on ovulation days they receive larger tips from clients.
10. Socks help achieve orgasm. No, this is not about a new sexual practice, but about ordinary cotton socks that can make your sex better. No matter how funny it sounds, socks are the way to orgasm. Researchers are ready to confirm this information, having found that a person with warm feet finds it easier to reach the final point of pleasure.
