#HealthBytes: Five things you should never do during sex
A healthy and satisfying sex life is crucial for the couple's overall mental, physical and emotional well-being. However, quite like the emotional ups and downs, there are good as well as bad times in the sexual equation between partners. Naturally, mistakes may happen, but can be timely prevented. Here are five things you should never do during sex.
Women, stop being too passive
Talking about gender equality, quite like women, men also need to (and want) feel desired. So, once in a while, if not always, women should get on to the driver's seat, and be the initiator. Following the same routine, every time will kill the fun in your sex life. So, do take the lead- initiate things, set the mood, and experiment with newer methods.
Avoid: Lack of communication
Sex isn't about getting under the sheets and just silently doing the deed. Not discussing is a complete disaster for your sex life. It is advisable for a couple to communicate- before, during, and after sex. Bring forward your fears and fetishes. It will enhance both the pleasure and the relationship. However, constant blabbering isn't needed- moaning, facial expressions, and body language can help.
Avoid: Worrying about how you look
Poor self-image is anyway bad, and more so, when you are having an intimate session with your partner. Underconfidence may turn your partner down, thus both of you may end up not enjoying sex. So, boost up your self-esteem and be confident. It will get you in the mood and help you have a good time, under the sheets.
Avoid: Rushing things too soon in bed
Hitting the top gear without proper warming-up isn't the best of ideas, when trying to get intimate with your partner. Know that foreplay is one of the most important aspects of a sexual encounter. So, delay the climax, and indulge in kissing, touching, caressing, tickling, and anything to everything that your partner would like you to do. It will help set the right mood.
Avoid: Being unhygienic
Not being aware of your health and hygiene will put off your partner right away. So, when indulging in a steamy session with your partner, take a shower, shave, and use natural lotions. It will improve your attraction quotient and set the right mood. Furthermore, use fresh bed-sheets, keep wet wipes handy, and take a shower after doing the deed, to maintain good hygiene.
