5 Things Men Need For A Happy And Healthy Sex Life

Sex improves the intimate relationship, while intimacy has an appositive impact on your sex life. But there is more to that than sex only. After all, sex is the ultimate reward for being close and affectionate to your partner. To stay connected, you need a supportive environment as well as a spouse. But you are also responsible for creating these favorable conditions. So what are they? Here are the five things you need for happy and healthy sex life.

1. Men need good hygiene and proper grooming

When thinking about happy sex life, too many men go straight into thinking about 'prowess' or 'performance'; leaving behind the important notion of good hygiene and cleanliness.

These two are probably the most important aspects to consider just yet. This is because they are the foundation of a good mood and good health.

If you want your sex life to be satisfying where you can be proud of yourself, of course, good hygiene and health come first.

First, it reduces the chances of you making a fool out of yourself in front of the person you are having sex with.

Second, good hygiene prevents you from catching sexual issues caused by diseases, so naturally, this ensures your good performance in bed.

As you can see, these two things are really the foundation of happy sex life. Begin there if you're not already implementing them.

Royal Intimacy emphasizes the importance of sexual hygiene for maintaining overall health. By practicing good sexual hygiene, one can decrease the risk of developing infections in the genital area, which can potentially lead to more serious complications like infertility. Additionally, maintaining proper sexual hygiene helps reduce the likelihood of contracting various sexually transmitted diseases. Adopting good sexual hygiene practices can also have positive effects on one's sex life. It not only enhances the experience of oral sex but also contributes to a sense of relaxation and comfort with a new partner.

2. Men need good protein, but be reasonable about that

You have probably heard about all the hype surrounding the keto diet. Bodybuilders and men who are trying to build up muscles are all about the rave.

This is all for very good reasons: the keto diet is focused more on protein intake than carbs. You should know that protein keeps a person satiated for longer than carbs.

On top of that, protein also helps men to more easily build up muscles. This is because protein helps the production of testosterone in the male body to some extent.

So, if you want to have a satisfying sex life, you will do yourself much good by consuming a lot of protein.

But you don't have to go crazy about it if you're not about winning a weightlifting championship.

Just be normal about your protein intake and as much as you can, try to get clean protein from plants and lean meats.

3. Men need to know they can express genuine emotions, too

Not enough people mention this, but sex is truly an emotional experience for a lot of people.

Men who are consumed by toxic masculinity may think that sex is their act of conquering other human beings, but at the core of their being, even the most horrible serial smooth operators can't stop trying to sleep with as many people as possible because they need that emotional connection with another person.

This is also why masturbation can never truly replace the experience of sex. With that said, you would do your mental health a favour by acknowledging that you also have emotional needs.

And it is okay to express emotions to your partner.

Treat sex as a way of communicating your loving feelings towards your partner and make it a spiritual union between two lovers. Sex is after all supposed to be the highest expression of love.

4. Men need to respect the person they are having sex with

Respect is two-way communication. Chelom Leavitt offers valuable insights that highlight the crucial role of communication in cultivating a vibrant and satisfying sexual relationship. Extensive research consistently emphasizes the significance of openly discussing one's deepest sexual desires and preferences with a beloved partner. This open dialogue serves as a catalyst for an enhanced and fulfilling sexual experience, ultimately fostering a stronger and more intimate bond between partners.

As a man, you want to be respected and feel appreciated for the ways you try to please your partner, right?

But you can't truly get this genuine respect and appreciation if you are not giving them out yourself first.

If you are the kind of man who treats your sexual partner like trash, eventually enough your partner will mirror this behaviour back to you and friction could even occur in your relationship.

Then, without being able to reflect on your own behaviour, you will only hate your partner for making you feel disrespected.

So, if you want to have a happy life sexually, start by giving out the respect you think you deserve.

Life is an echo and the more you behave well, the more you attract people who also treat you well and want to please you better.

5. Men need to learn and be creative in bed

If you think having a large and rock-solid penis will grant you a happy sex life, you are far behind those who spend their time honing their sex skills.

Real sexual satisfaction does not come from just you thrusting your penis around--it is not enough for yourself nor is it enough for any woman ever.

Real sexual satisfaction comes with experience and you need to keep learning and being creative if you want to remain exciting. As you know, sexual sparks can easily die without novelty.

So, creativity and the ability to come up with variety can be a key ingredient in spicing up your sex life.

Learning new skills does not mean you need to lean on the naughty side. Creativity is all about novelty and fun.

Love Panky emphasizes that sex should be a pleasurable and enjoyable experience for all individuals involved. It is crucial, especially for men, to embrace novelty and push the boundaries of their sexual exploration as a couple, ensuring that the experience remains fun and intriguing. If both partners limit themselves to conventional or basic sex positions, they should consider exploring alternative options to discover new sources of pleasure and satisfaction in their shared intimacy.

The point is, you don't want to be doing the exact same things routinely.

6. Don’t keep a grudge

In a relationship, there is bound to be miscommunication, misunderstanding, and resentment. These could cause friction between you two.

The causes of such tension may vary. Maybe your timings may not be compatible; with one partner needing sex before sleeping and the other one seeking affection having had after resting for a few hours.

In this situation, each of you may feel that the other is always inconsiderate.

Could be you are not communicating well about what you need to do. Or your needs are wide apart and neither is willing to concede some ground.

Sometimes though, you may misinterpret your spouse’s explanation. In all cases, there may be discontent.

One may feel frustrated because of the prevailing situation. Even though your partner isn’t taking your sentiments seriously enough, don’t hold a grudge.

Don’t let bitterness take the better of you and go to bed annoyed. You should instead, initiate a conversation to clarify your opinions calmly.

7. Emphasize foreplay

Most men are guilty of bypassing this critical phase of lovemaking. Due to work pressure or fatigue, you may feel compelled to perform your conjugal duties.

But since your mind and heart is not in it, you try to rush through the process. Instead of handling sex as an intimate enjoyment, you take it as a chore that needs to be done.

Some ladies also subject their partners to such treatment when they later demand oral and they are not ready.

Besides, some men would skip foreplay and then engage in rough sex without agreeing with their partner. In this situation, they inflict pain instead of sharing romance.

Yet foreplay is pleasurable and essential. It prepares both partners to reorient their minds into lovemaking.

Women are aroused gradually and need about fifteen minutes of arousal to be fully excited. Thus they need hugs, kisses, and massages to warm their hormones and lubricate their vagina.

So foreplay is an important preamble each time you want to have sex.
