Very Important! These are 4 Things You Should Never Do Before Having S*x With Your Partner
S*x
is an amazingly thrilling experience that most people look forward to
having with their partners, however certain things can limit the full
enjoyment the experience affords.
When
it comes to s*x, it is every married couple’s desire to enjoy it and
still be able to relish the thought of it thereafter. Apart from the
numerous health benefits of s*x to the human system, the pleasure that
comes with it is electrifying and almost unrivalled.
Notably,
there are many routes to $.xual satisfaction, but the mostly adopted
means of reaching cl!max is through inter-c0urse, which is about the
most effective for men, unlike women who are more likely to reach 0rga$m
faster through nipple or clit0ral stimulation.
S*x
is to be enjoyed, but understandably, there are medical conditions that
prevent or forbid people from having s.x, usually for some time.
Meanwhile,
beyond those conditions, there are some other things people do that may
tamper with how much they enjoy s.x and even impact on their overall
health afterwards.
Some
of these issues directly affect s.xual performance, while some are
safety tips. Hence, it may be helpful to discuss what people should take
cognisance of when they are about to have a romp in the sack so as to
enjoy it and guide against infection.
These include:
1. Shaving or waxing before s*x:
Due
to the belief that the pubic hair could breed unpleasant smell and
because some people do find it disgusting, people tend to shave or use
wax to remove the hair in that region. But inasmuch as being ‘clean’ in
that region is seen as a good hygienic practice, experts have advised
that it is advisable not to shave before s.x, simply because shaving or
waxing tends to open up the small pores in the skin and while the sexual
activity is ongoing, body contact could lead to infection, or rashes,
which could multiply in little time because the place is usually warm
and so germs and bacteria could multiply there quickly. Some people
shave shortly before s.x because of the feeling that their partner might
find the pubic hair unattractive.
A
medical doctor, Emily Gibson, said removal of pubic hair would always
inflame the hair follicles in that region and leave some open wounds
that could cause irritation of the shaved or waxed area, leading to the
spread of s.xually transmitted infections.
She added, “When
that irritation is combined with the warm moist environment of the
genitals, it becomes a happy culture media for some of the nastiest of
bacterial pathogens, namely group A streptococcus, staphylococcus aureus
and its recently mutated cousin, methicillin resistant staph aureus.
“There
is an increase in staph boils and abscesses, necessitating incisions to
drain the infection, resulting in scarring that can be significant.
It is not at all unusual to find pustules and other hair follicle
inflammation papules on shaved genitals.
“Additionally,
I’ve seen cellulitis, soft tissue bacterial infection without abscess
of the scrotum, labia and penis from spread of bacteria from shaving or
from sexual contact with strep or staph bacteria from a partner’s skin.
And some clinicians are finding that freshly shaved pubic areas and
genitals are also more vulnerable to herpes infections due to the
microscopic wounds being exposed to virus carried by mouth or genitals.
It follows that there may be vulnerability to spread of other STIs as
well.”
Also,
a consultant endocrinologist, Dr. Michael Olamoyegun, explained that
shaving before s.x does not influence performance, but that “in
the course of shaving, the person can sustain injuries, and during s*x,
there would be body contact and the ease of transmitting infection into
the injured area would be high because the pubic hair serves as a form
of protection.”
So, to avoid infections from creeping into your system courtesy of s*x, never shave before s*x.
2. Smoking:
Apart
from the negative effect smoking has on the heart, it turns out that it
also has an effect on people’s s.xual performance. It could reduce
libid0 as it lowers testosterone (s*x hormone) levels, hence, people are
advised not to smoke before s*x. The same applies to taking alcohols.
According to a s.xual health expert, Dr. Vijaysarathi Ramanathan, smoking could affect a man’s erection.
He said, “Smoking
affects almost every system/organ of the body including s.xual
functioning. People need to understand that erection in men has a lot to
do with a healthy heart, blood vessels and good blood flow. So anything
that affects blood flow will definitely affect the erection.”
In
his explanation on Health Site, he said further that Nicotine, a toxic
oily liquid that is the chief active constituent of tobacco, could clog
the arteries and restrict blood flow to the genitals, which would affect
performance.
For
couples aiming at pregnancy, Ramanathan said smoking could also lower a
man’s sperm count; cause genetic damage to the sperm and reduce the
ability of the sperm to swim to where it will fertilise the egg. And in
women, it could also cause s.x-related problems, like reduced s.x drive,
among others.
On smoking, Olamoyegun said the constituents of cigarettes can narrow the arteries and veins that supply blood to the p*nis. “Smoking
causes vasoconstriction; narrowing the blood vessel, so, the amount of
blood that goes into the penis will reduce. And since the erection of
the pen!s has to do with blood flow, it may affect the man’s erection.
3. Eating too much or taking energy drinks:
No
doubt, s*x is an activity that is very involving and tiring, and so it
is not uncommon for some people to eat before s.x as if they are going
to fight, especially men, all in the name of preparing for the act. But
findings have shown that it is better to eat snacks, nuts or light food
before doing ‘it’ to avoid feeling drowsy. In the same vein, experts
have said that people should do away with heavy, gassy and high-fibre
food to avoid frustrating the partner with a sluggish and poor
performance eventually.
So,
it is not the time to eat five wraps of heavy food like someone going
to the war front. Also, it has been found that it is not advisable to
take energy drinks. People do this to have some energy to ‘deliver’ but
experts have said the impact may not last long and that it tends to
leave the person tired and weak after a (short) while.
According to Olamoyegun, s*x, just like other forms of exercise, should not be preceded by eating heavy food. He said, “Normally,
if you want to do any exercise, including s*x, you are not supposed to
take any heavy meal, because doing so could lead to aspiration in the
course of the activity; the food can come from the stomach to the air
pipe, and that is not good. So, it is better to eat a light food.”
4. Ma$turbating:
This
is one tactic some people use, usually done hours before the
intercourse, so as to prolong s.x and it is mostly done by men who have
premature ejaculation or women who crave prolonged s*x. They believe
that having ejaculated (men) or reached 0rga$m (women) moments before
the s.x would delay their next 0rga$m, but findings have shown that such
can make erection almost impossible and the fact that it can kill s.x
drive when it comes to having real interc0urse with someone of the
opposite s*x.
Ultimately,
experts have found that masturbati0n can be addictive, and after
engaging in it for a long time, such persons tend to lose interest in
real s*x. So, to have a sustained healthy s*xuality, mastu-rbating
should not be an option.
Meanwhile,
medical experts have advised that if a woman pees after s*x, it could
reduce the likelihood of her getting urinary tract infection. They said
the urine would have flushed out any bacteria present. It is not a must,
but it is helpful.
Olamoyegun had this to say on it, “The
v@gina and the urethra are close, so after s*x, if you pee, you flush
out the bacteria before it settles into the tract. You don’t necessarily
have to do that but it could be helpful too.”
