relationships, but that doesn’t mean that the wisdom in this area comes to us
naturally. We still need to learn how to become better partners and improve our
relationships. This post is the continuation of my collaboration with Relationship

21 Facts Women Need
to Know About Men’s Sexuality and Relationships
1.
Most men are visually stimulated.
2.
Lingerie is definitely something that can
visually stimulate your partner but it also changes your mindset and boosts your
confidence.
3.
A man can be aroused in less than 7 seconds and can
have an orgasm in about 2 minutes.
4.
Men in relationships masturbate on average 4-5
times a week and think about sex approximately every 4 minutes. This will decrease as they age.
5.
Your partner should be your number one priority;
kids grow and leave, your partner stays. Treating your partner as your number one priority not only
boosts their confidence but also helps create a united front in which you can
parent your children better.
6.
Do not withhold sex from him to get your
way. Sex should never be
used in this manner.
7.
“Duty Sex,” just because you haven’t had sex for
a while, is not sexy and it does not help the relationship.
8.
He loves it when you take good care of yourself.
Keep up efforts to look nice for your husband just like you did when you were
dating. Being married is not a
reason to neglect your appearance. Dress up once in a while for him to show
that you care. It will also make you feel good about yourself.
9.
Have an open conversation about what you need
and desire. Desires change over
time and it’s best to communicate that with your partner rather than let him
guess or stay frustrated.
10. He
loves it when you enjoy sex. It boosts his confidence, and he will try harder
to satisfy you.
11. He
might teach you something new about yourself. If your partner asks to try
something new that is outside of your comfort zone, don’t reject it
automatically. Be curious, open-minded,
and willing to try. Discussing sexual preferences is good for the relationship.
12. Remember
that nothing is wrong when it is done between two consenting adults.
13. Scheduling
sex is not a bad thing. When you
have a career, children, and family commitments making time to prioritize your
partner, your relationship, and your sexuality a is a good thing.
14. Cuddling
with your partner is an easy way to boost desire.
15. Sexual
desire fades away in a state of sleep deprivation. Make sure that you are both
well rested. In general, women need more sleep than men.
16. The
definition of Romance or Romantic Time changes throughout the relationship. Sometimes it is going out to dinner at a
fancy restaurant and other times it’s when he gives you the night off by
cooking dinner.
17. Criticism
is difficult for men especially when it comes to the bedroom. To help your partner use “I” statements
instead, such as: “I would like to
try …” or “I feel that after giving birth that no longer feels good, can we try
something different such as…?”
18. In
a long-term relationships there are times when your libidos don’t match up. In
those times communication is critical to address both partners needs.
19. To
get the sex-life you crave you will have to ask for it! Don’t be shy – tell him what you want.
20. Confidence
is sexy. Men love women who are
confident about themselves; talking poorly about yourself or your body is not
sexy. Have more self-love and
appreciation for yourself.
21. Your
partner can give you better orgasms when you are present in your intimate
moments. Since sex for women is in the brain, you will have to learn to shut
down distracting thoughts (like the dishes in the sink or worries that the kids
might hear you) and focus on your partner and your lovemaking.
