Are you sexually satisfied? You probably have a prompt answer. And your answer is most likely not very nuanced; variations of “yes”, “no”, and “more or less” are rare. But what does sexual satisfaction actually mean?

Scientists have studied sexual satisfaction for quite a (relative) time. They have been able to determine that…

Our sexual fantasies. Most of us start blushing just by the thought of them. And most of us even feel a bit ashamed of them. But let me tell you: your sex fantasies are way less uncommon than you think.

Have you ever been disappointed by an orgasm? It was almost there. The big firework. But then it was, well…just a little spark. Frustrating? For sure. But no two orgasms are the same.

Porn exists and porn is watched. A lot. And that’s totally fine. Porn is not bad. What becomes dangerous though, is when we forget that porn is an illusion. We know that porn sex is not real sex. But do we really know to what extent?

Does the number of orgasms we have determine our level of sexual satisfaction? Not only. But mostly. And when we compare how often heterosexual men orgasm versus heterosexual women[1], calling it an imbalance is an understatement. The difference is so significant that…

“Females orgasm less often than males[1]”. It’s true. Unfortunately. But in heterosexual relationships. We hear, read, and say this over and over again. But do we ever hear, read, and say why?

When you hear foreplay, what is the first thing that pops into your mind? Kissing? Sexting? Climax? Probably not. For most of us, foreplay implies the sexual acts preparing for penetrative sex. Because that’s what we were taught.

It’s not incorrect, but…

We don't know much about the intimacy of those around us, yet we sometimes think that their sexual life is better, richer, and more exciting than ours. This feeling is human, and this feeling is common. But there is a large gap between perception and reality.

We all have beliefs. And as they shape our perceptions and behaviors, they also influence our sexual satisfaction. I will tell you how.

What if a simple test could tell us if we are sexually compatible with someone? Impossible? Well, researchers have been working on it. And the results might surprise you.

Who has never heard that sex is good for their health? Probably no one. But do you actually know why?

Here it is.

We often believe that sex is something we have to master. We pressure ourselves to be unforgettable lovers and sex experts. But sex is not intuitive. And what does mastering sex even mean?

The holiday season is here, with it, the focus on giving. Thankfully. But I would like to take a moment to talk about receiving.

Sex in movies is not like sex in real life. We know that. But do we know how far away from reality sex scenes truly are? Luckily, online doctor service Zava did the work.

Researchers have repeatedly reported that when women have sex for the first time, they are less likely to have a pleasurable experience than men[1].
