Is all that moaning and groaning for real? Our resident hot girl lets you in on the surefire signs she’s actually coming—while revealing a more surprising way to gauge her sexual satisfaction.
Q: I’m worried that my girlfriend is faking her orgasms. How can I tell?
A: There are some surefire signs she’s actually coming, and most of them don’t involve the audible, Oscar-worthy performance you’re probably expecting. Her face and chest will be flush, her muscles all over her body—and inside her vagina—will tense up, her eyes will close... and then she’ll release and relax.
But with that said, let’s be really honest for a second: Why do you care if she’s faking it? Think on that one for a bit. Is the issue reallythat you want to be able to tell when she’s having an orgasm and when she isn’t? Or is the larger question that you want to know if she’s sexually satisfied?
If you thought men's sexual response is quite simple and their needs can be met easily, then you certainly need to revise your knowledge of the "birds and bees," for men aren't as simple as they are made out to be.
According to Fox News, here are 10 things that you didn't know about men and sex:
1. Trapped Sperm
Not all sperm go racing for the egg at once. Once sperm has been deposited into the vaginal canal, some of them are temporarily trapped in a semen coagulate or clot. Eventually, they are decoagulated by enzymes, which set them free to swim about a female''s reproductive system. This clotting, according to scientists, is meant to pace the release of sperm into the uterus, increasing the chance that one of these sperms will reach the egg and fertilise it.
2. Oxytocin Affects Males Too
It is believed that oxytocin affects females during sex (and breast-feeding). But this cuddle hormone, released by both sexes during intimacy, is also found to influence males. Research from Switzerland found that oxytocin is associated with increased feelings of trust in males.
3. High Testosterone = Less Sex
While higher testosterone levels is typically considered a good thing for men when it comes to their sex drive, still researchers continually found that males with higher testosterone levels marry less often, are more abusive in their marriages and divorce more regularly. In fact, married men see more action than single men.
4. Death During Sex Has A Prototype
While examining the incidence of death during sex, a 1975 study discovered a unique pattern in males: the "deceased is usually married; he is not with a spouse and in unfamiliar surroundings," and death usually occurs after "a big meal with alcohol." Another study in 1989 found further evidence supporting the extramarital sex bit. Fourteen of the 20 cases of "la mort d''amour," or coital death, happened during an affair.
5. Orgasm ... Or Lack Of ... May Prevent Breast Cancer In Males
A study in Greece found evidence that the frequency of adult orgasms may have an impact on the incidence of breast cancer in men. In fact, it was also revealed that males with breast cancer had experienced fewer orgasms on average than men without the disease.
6. You Can Tell A Guy's Size By His Fingers
A University of Liverpool research cited that if a man''s ring fingers are longer than his index fingers, this means there were healthy testosterone levels in the womb. If the ring fingers are the same size or smaller than the index fingers, then the male received lower levels of testosterone, implying that one can estimate the length of his organ by the length of the ring finger.
7. Men Fall In Love Faster Than Women
It's not the women, but men, who get out of control after a glimpse of the right attractive face and fall head over heels in love immediately, claimed love researcher Dr. Helen Fisher.
8. Family Affects Testosterone
As a man becomes increasingly attached to his family, his testosterone levelgoes down, according to a 2001 Mayo Clinic study. Particularly, fathers experience a significant decline in levels of testosterone with the birth of his child, especially when he holds the baby.
9. Can A Bowel Movement Make For Bliss?
In a 2002 study, it was mentioned that a male had a history of orgasmic-like feelings after going to the bathroom. After he answered nature's call, his body went through the rest of the male sexual response cycle. His pulse rate increased as he reached climactic state, followed by relaxation, then extreme fatigue.
10. Males Like 'Unusual' Sex
Men have a 20 to 1 likeliness against women to practice an "unusual" and often socially unacceptable or illegal behavior, for example exhibitionism.
Are you waiting until your wedding night ? This video provides some important information and tips for you and your partner for first night of wedding.
THE best time to surf the net is 4am, according to experts who tested broadband speeds.
And scientists who study our daily habits and body clocks reckon the hour of the day we do certain things can make a huge difference.
So if there’s a time for everything, when should we be doing what?
7AM EXERCISE TO FIGHT FLAB
As long as you don’t overdo it or have your breakfast first, the best time of day to exercise if you want to burn fat is between 6am and 8am.
Your blood sugar levels are lower and, with an empty stomach, you’ll burn more fat reserves. You’ll also kick-start your metabolism and work off more calories.
8AM HAVE SEX
Your energy and hormone levels are at their peak. And if you’re trying for a baby, a man’s sperm count is higher too.
So this is the right hour... but how many minutes should you spend on the job?
A US study found the best sex sessions were between seven and 13 minutes long, while experts at Brunel University say being too strenuous at this time of day could suppress your immune system.
So go easy!
8.30AM HAVE YOUR BREAKFAST
Your first meal of the day is the most important and should have been munched by 9am.
A Harvard University study shows an early morning breakfast will stop you loading up with more calories later in the day.
Matthew Edlund, author of The Body Clock Advantage, explains: “If you don’teat breakfast, your body thinks it’s in starvation mode, and you’ll eat more food later on.”
9AM-NOON GO UNDER THE KNIFE
If you need an operation, try to get to theatre first thing in the morning. A US study of 90,000 operations found that “adverse events” were least common in the mornings andmost likely to happen between 3pm and 4pm. Mornings are also a good time to have injections as our hormones that deal with pain are at their peak.
11AM DO MENTAL CHALLENGES
This is a great time to do mental tasks like puzzles or sort out a work problem.
At this time of day you’re alert, your body temperature is rising and your brain can process information most efficiently. It’s an ideal time to brainstorm in the office – or put your feet up and do a Sudoku at home.
11.37AM HAVE A HEALTHY SNACK
This is the time when you are most likely to suffer a morning slump... and reach for a cuppa and a Kit Kat.
But you could have a cereal bar instead of chocolate – they typically contain half the calories and release their energy more slowly to stop you being tempted to start snacking again before lunch.
11.59AM MAKE YOUR MIND UP
The morning rush is over, you’ve beaten the mid-morning slump and lunch hunger pangs are yet to kick in and distract you. In a recent survey Brits said this was the best time of day to make an important decision – while 10pm is the worst.
By then your brain is frazzled from work and your body wants to go to bed. Only 1% of people believe they are able to make a life-changing decision at night.
1.30-2.30PM TAKE A NAP
Doctors used to think afternoon sleepiness was the result of a big lunch – but now they know that in early afternoon our body temperatures dip, making us feel drowsy.
Just as a similar decrease encourages you to shut down at bedtime, this midday dip can make you crave a snooze.
But an ideal nap should last 15 to 20 minutes. More than 30 and you may feel even more groggy when you wake up.
2PM HAVE A FACIAL..OR A FILLING
This is the perfect time of day to go for a beauty treatment because moisture levels in your skin are at their highest. But it’s also a good time to visit the dentist as a local anaesthetic lasts longer when given at this time.
2.16PM GRAB A COFFEE
Scientists say this is the time your energy levels hit rock bottom and your metabolism starts to wind down. Caffeine should perk you up.
5PM GET OUT OF PUFF
This is the best time to do cardio-vascular exercise. Your lungs use oxygen more efficiently, you’re more co-ordinated and your muscles are warmed up, so you’re less likely to suffer a strain.
7PM ASK SOMEONE OUT FOR A DRINK
Research shows you’re at your most happy, relaxed and sociable at 7pm – making it the perfect time for a date. And between 7pm and 8pm your liver is working at optimum level... meaning you process alcohol most effectively.
8PM POST ON FACEBOOK
You’ll get more “likes” than at any other time. Friends will be home from work, will have had dinner and be more likely to turn to Facebook.
8.30PM TAKE THE DOG FOR A WALK
This is more about Rover’s needs than yours.
Dog expert Jean Donaldson says owners take longer over their evening walks – and let their dogs linger over exciting smells and sounds missed on the morning rush-hour walk.
9PM COME DINE WITH ME
Your sense of taste and smell are at their sharpest – perfect if you want a meal out.
You might want to share it with a friend to fend off depression as studies show you’re at your loneliest between 8pm and 10pm... probably when that drink date has left.
10PM SWOT FOR YOUR EXAMS
Your long-term retention of information is at its sharpest so this is the best time for studying.
Memory depends on nucleic acid levels, which peak around 10pm. But morning is best for a quick pre-test brush-up.
11PM-7AM SLEEP
We should aim to get seven to eight hours’ sleep a night.
Dr Jason Ellis, director of Northumbria Sleep Centre, says: “11pm to 7am would be an optimal time for most people.”
But you should definitely try to be kipping between 3am and 4am when mental performance is low.
Accidents among night workers increase fivefold at this time.
3AM GO ON A GHOST HUNT
It used to be called the “witching hour” but now it’s known as “dead time”.
Experts in the paranormal say that there are more apparitions, ghostly goings-on and things going bump in the night at this time.
Getting pregnant maybe the easiest of all things, however, some couples do find it hard to conceive for several reasons, including weak or insufficient sperm count. In some cases, as when nature needs a boost, a little push from you and your partner can go a long way in getting pregnant. When it comes to the best position to get pregnant, the general rule is that the male sperm must be deposited as near to the female cervix as possible.
This has something to do with the life spans of the female egg and the male sperm. Once an egg is released from the ovary - a stage also known as ovulation - it begins its path down the fallopian tube to the uterus. A released egg typically survives for only 24 hours, while a sperm can last anywhere from three to five days in the female body. As such, the egg has to be as close to the egg as possible so they can meet and join before the egg dies. While not a lot of people will agree that the sexual positions have anything to do with getting pregnant, the logical inference is that it makes sense to assume the position that can help the sperm meet the egg in the shortest possible time. This is especially true when for couples who have problems or difficulty conceiving. Having said this, the first "best position to get pregnant" tip is to avoid positions that least expose the cervix to the male sperm, and that generally defy gravity such as sex while standing up, sitting down, or with the woman on top. When trying to conceive, it is best to limit the amount of sperm that flows back out of the vagina.
The woman's hips should also be positioned in such a way that the sperm released is kept inside, giving it enough time to swim up to the female cervix. Consider the following positions instead: 1. The missionary position. Or man-on-top is said to be the position that's best for getting pregnant. This is because this particular position allows for the deepest possible penetration, making it possible for the sperm to get deposited closest to the cervix.
2. Raise the hips. Elevating the hips, which can be done by placing a pillow behind her, can also be helpful because this exposes the female cervix to as much semen as the male can release.
3. Doggy-style. The rear-entry position where the man enters the woman from behind is also a recommended position. In this position, sperm is also deposited closest to the cervix, thereby helping increase the chances of conception.
4. Side-by-side. You can also try having intercourse while lying side by side. This position likewise causes the most exposure of the cervix to the male sperm.
5. Orgasms. Finally, while this has nothing to do with sexual positions, there are also researches that suggest the importance of the female orgasm in conceiving. According to studies, female orgasm leads to contractions that could push sperm up into the cervix. The lesson: have fun while trying to conceive.
