Sex in Marriage
It's not surprising, then, that the same things that interfere with mental and emotional love, can also interfere with sex and the sexual response. Common culprits include:
ANXIETY. It is hard to be naked and vulnerable when you are nervous around your spouse for any reason. Think of it. If you belittle your spouse or make fun of them in any way, why would they be eager to hop in bed with you? But when a spouse feels secure in the marriage--feels that this relationship and this person is a place of emotional and physical safety--the instinct to cover and hide will fade away.

2 biggest sex mistakes men and women make
The sex mistakes women most often make:
1. Women don’t understand why men don’t like to cuddle.
Ian: After sex, men return to the pre-aroused state, women return to a semi-aroused state. For guys it’s a total system shutdown. We just want to crash, whereas women want to connect, cuddle, converse, even have more sex. Women shouldn’t assume that a guy is insensitive if he’s more inclined to snore than snuggle. He’s probably just shattered. Think of it as a compliment to the sex you just had.
Tracey: I disagree with this. I think men do like to cuddle! They’re just worried their partner might see it as weak and them as vulnerable. I think a lot of the time a man suggests sex, what they’re really after is the physical closeness a cuddle would provide
2. Women don’t understand the extent to which performance anxieties, self-esteem issues and body-image issues all affect male sex drive.
Ian: Absolutely. Guys have many of the same issues as women when it comes to sex: feeling out of shape, unattractive, not wanting to be seen naked during sex. I worked with one guy who always had to rush to put on his boxers after sex and could never cuddle naked. His wife didn’t know what was going on. Turned out he felt very “smallish” after sex.
Also, when guys are stressed out about work/financial issues, it often leads to a shutdown of desire. In both men and women, low self-esteem equals low desire.
Tracey: Men aren’t robots. They’re humans and worry about the same stuff females do. Also there’s pressure on men to provide good sex to women. They expect a lot from men in bed these days, and often expect men to be mind readers, rather than tell them what they want. I’m not surprised men get anxious and their libido dips.

How to Hit the Best Sexual G Spot Position
Step 1
The most important thing is to communicate so that you will be on the same page and you will know together what is working and what is not.
Step 2
The G Spot is a small area that is located behind the pubic bone and when stimulated properly will allow the woman to have an awesome orgasm. You need to play with your woman to find out exactly where hers is located. It is a good idea to explore but to be gentle when doing this.
Step 3
When having sex there are several good positions that will help you in achieving that G Spot climax you are looking for. When using the standard missionary position you need to make sure that the girl lifts her hips to a higher elevation, this will allow you for maximum penetration and pleasure.
Step 4
When you are on top of her you want to put some of your weight onto her. Most men try to have sex without putting any weight on the woman which is not a good thing. A woman likes to feel a man on top of her and to feel the pressure of hid pelvic pressed against her is a great way to hit that G Spot quicker.

13 Fast Facts About Sex
And the same goes for becoming sex-savvy in seconds. The following sex facts will help satisfy your desire to be in-the-know via instant gratification.
1. Prepare to have your mind blown – literally.
Reaching the “Big O” can feel like your brain has blown a fuse. With that three-pound brain of yours being the seat of your orgasms — PET scans have revealed that several parts of the conscious brain shut down during climax. And as luck would have it, one area of the brain that "switches off” is the part that controls fear and anxiety.
2. Opt for chocolate.
Research out of the U.K. found that this sweet treat causes a more intense and longer lasting “buzz” than kissing, doubling one’s heart rate.
3. Before reaching for that Viagra …
Consider that ejaculation and orgasm don’t require erection. According to "The Science of Orgasm," a penis can be totally flaccid, but a male can still experience emission and climax.
4. You may just have to become a feminist.
Feminists do it better. According to a Rutgers 2007 study, feminists have better sex and relationships.
5. It’s not always sexy to be a Casanova.
Like her, he may want to think twice before sleeping around. Sex with multiple partners can increase a male’s risk of cancer and other diseases by 40 percent.
6. Second-guess the circumcision-cancer connection.
While the U.S. medical establishment claims that circumcision prevents cancer of the cervix, British doctors say it ain’t so. The Brits point to the fact that women in countries where men aren’t circumcised have no higher rate of cervical cancer than women in America. Not surprisingly, less than 10 percent of newborns in the United Kingdom are snipped.
7. When “getting some,” play selectively hard-to-get.
According to reinforcement theory, our attraction to another is based on the ratio of the number of positive reinforcements a person gives us versus the total number of reinforcements and punishments given.
Bottom line: People who are frequently nice are more likely to win over a partner.
8. Tampering with one brain system tampers with another.
More than 100 million prescriptions for antidepressants are written yearly in the U.S. Yet users end up trading in one dilemma for another. These SSRIs suppress one’s dopamine circuit, killing your sex drive and orgasm and attachment abilities.
9. Socioemotional meanings are conveyed in human sweat.
Huh? All you need to know is that a recent Rice University study found that women process and encode sexual meanings from the sweat of men. The brain recognizes chemosensory communication in sizing up sexual quality.
10. Bisexuals are likelier to use both hands.
Research in Psychological Bulletin reports that bisexual men and women report particularly high levels of ambidextrous hand preferences.
11. A sneeze may indicate sexual arousal.
A study in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine suggests that a mix-up in brain circuitry may send an individual into a sneezing fit at the thought of sex. Researchers also learned that certain individuals sneeze after orgasm.
12. Bisexual women take more risks.
Research out of the Guttmacher Institute found that bisexual female college students are likelier to engage in risky sexual behavior than heterosexual or lesbian women. Data on nearly 30,000 females 18- to 24 years old also revealed that bisexuals are likelier to have had a sexually transmitted infection in the past year.
13. Her brain responds more strongly to masculine faces.
Researchers at Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute report that a female’s brain reacts differently to masculinized and feminized faces, especially when she’s closer to ovulating. The area of the brain activated is the anterior cingulated cortex, the region involved in decision-making and the evaluation of potential reward and risk.

How to Maintain a Friendship After Sex
- Talk to each other immediately after you have decided to stop having sex. Start to act like you used to before the romantic involvement was there. If you are really close, then ask each other how the other person is feeling about stopping the sexual involvement.
- Be careful when it comes to dating other people right away. Although you may not love each other in 'that' way, one of you might have feelings that get hurt when the other rushes off immediately into a sexual relationship with someone else. Be kind and respect each other.
- Continue to spend time together, but always include other friends so that you don't get into an awkward and intimate situation. Socialize and enjoy everyone. Turn your focus to building other friendships, but continue with your friendship with each other, if that's what you both want.
- Maintain your regular schedule and keep going on with your lives. It's alright to do things together, but avoid getting together every day. You will only be tempted to have sex with each other. This is hurtful if one of you wants to continue the intimate relationship, while the other wants a platonic friendship.
- Plan activities with each other like going to events. Do things together that do not fall into the dating category like movies, dinner and drinks.

Stimulating sex at 50 plus!
It's important to remember that sexual satisfaction may take a little longer as you age, which is actually no bad thing, especially as this means more foreplay, more creativity and more talking - which all leads to greater sensual pleasure, whatever your age!
Stimulation techniques
Try to avoid focusing on genital arousal alone, and think about stimulating each other in different ways, such as through mutual masturbation or massage. Have fun learning how to enjoy touching one another in ways that do not involve genital stimulation.
This may seem difficult at first because you have to re-programme your sexual habits and 'norms'. During youth, sexual arousal just seems to happen, often without too much stimulation. As you get older, you need to change your sexual behaviour and have the courage and confidence to be more creative through touch.
Accommodate changes
Part of this process is accepting and accommodating the ways in which our bodies change over time. For example, a woman's vagina often loses some of its elasticity and some women experience a change in lubrication levels, which can cause vaginal discomfort during sex.
Men also find that their penis can lose some of its sensitivity; there is often a fall in testosterone levels and some vascular changes. Many men complain of a change in the orgasmic experience and that they ejaculate smaller amounts.
That said, none of the above should prevent older couples from being sexually intimate with one another, if they want to be.
Lasting libido
The importance we attach to sex remains high even as we age. Around 80 per cent of men and 60 per cent of women between the ages of 40 and 80 still regard sex as an important part of their lives, and more than half continue to have sex every week.
Unfortunately, even though interest in having sex remains strong, a man's risk of suffering erectile dysfunction increases threefold between the ages of 40 and 70.
If you find that your partner's erection is not rigid enough for vaginal penetration and your arthritic knees mean you can't manage the same sexual positions as before -it's time to have a frank chat with each other about how you are going to manage sexual activity. There is nothing to be anxious or embarrassed about. Chances are that you have been together for a very long time, and you can only become wiser and even more comfortable with one another after you have spoken about it.
Sexual response
Some women feel that they have no desire to have sex as they age, but still want lots of cuddles and to feel loved. Men love being able to gain an erection - even if it isn't as hard as it once was - and he can still achieve orgasm with a softer penis.
The reality is that elderly men often have strong sexual needs, but their penis doesn't always respond. If this occurs at any age, it is important to visit a doctor who will be able to explain why he might be having difficulties getting or maintaining an erection. He can also advise about the advantages of using a vaginal lubricant.
Some may find this a bit scary, but most couples are relieved to have talked their anxieties through with a health professional. There are so many excellent treatments available, ranging from pills to vacuum pumps and injection therapies, and your doctor will be able to find the right solution to your individual needs.
Top tips:
Here are a few tips on how to maintain sexual satisfaction with advancing age:
- Timing: Sex after a good night's sleep or in the early afternoon is so much better than trying to stay awake after a long day when you are feeling tired
- Take it slow: Sex is not a race, so there is no need to hurry the event. Try not to be under performance pressure to orgasm quickly. Take it slowly and enjoy the sensuality of lovemaking
- Be creative: Explore different ways to pleasure one another. If you are thinking of trying a different sexual position, first try it with your clothes on and see if you feel comfortable, then you will feel less anxious when you are naked
- Be open: If you don't discuss sexual activity when you are older, you risk losing all the intimacy in your relationship. And everyone, whatever age they are, deserves to have a hug.
