THE MOST COMMON S3XUAL PROBLEMS MEN AND WOMEN FACE—AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT THEM



There's nothing s3xy about the issues you have in the sack; but addressing them can lead to the happiest, hottest, most satisfying s3x of your life.


Sure, reading articles about s3x—the best positions, toys, and tips—is fine and good. But when it comes to s3xual health—erectile dysfunction, STIs, and trouble reaching climax—you clam up. You’d rather keep those topics and conversations tucked away, out of sight and out of mind. It’s normal; that seems to be the mindset for most men and women, even across the pond in the UK, according to a new research from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
In the study, researchers picked through data from 1,875 s3xually active and 517 s3xually inactive participants aged 16-21 years old. All participants were given a survey meant to measure s3xual function and dysfunction. For example, men and women noted any s3xual difficulties lasting three months or more they experienced in the past year, and to what extent these problems caused participants anxiety and distress, and if they’d sought help or advice.  
One third of s3xually active young men (34 percent) and just under half of s3xually active young women (44 percent) experienced one or more s3xual problems lasting at least three months in the past year… not far from figures researchers found (in previous research) in people ages 16-74.
To get even more specific, one in 10 men and one in eight women have experienced particularly distressing s3xual issues that weighed on their happiness, relationship, and satisfaction. And, here’s the kicker: Very few sought professional help to remedy it.
Only 4 percent of young men and 8 percent of young women consulted with their general practitioner, a s3xual health professional, or a psychiatrist. Yet a third of young people (36 percent of men and 42 percent of women) sought help from family and friends, the media, and self-help sources including the Internet. And as for the men and women who were s3xually inactive in the past year, 10 percent said they avoided doing so because of s3xual difficulties that either they or their partner had experienced. So... we're here to help the best we can.
We've highlighted the most common issues—both in men and in women—and provided all the expert-backed advice we have on the topic. But, seriously, talk to your doctor, even multiple different professionals, and communicate the physical difficulties and how it’s affecting you mentally and emotionally, too. 
"Our findings show that distressing s3xual problems are not only experienced by older people,” lead study author Kirstin Mitchell said in a press release. “…we need to reach people as they start their s3x lives, otherwise a lack of knowledge, anxiety or shame might progress into lifelong s3xual difficulties that can be damaging to s3xual enjoyment and relationships."

Why Every Guy Should Master Non-Penetrative Shagging

Image
One Little Mental Shift That Can Change Your Shagging Life for the Better To many straight men, shagging is penis-in-vagina penetration. Granted, some allow for the existence of anal, while oral counts to some as shagging just as much, but rarely do we ever acknowledge what shagging truly is: fluid. No, not the exchange of fluids, but rather the idea that there’s more to shagging than P-in-V penetration, and what that means can be different for any given person, couple or polyamorous arrangement. There’s a wealth of shagging that can occur without your penis penetrating a vagina or an anus, and guys do themselves a disservice by ignoring that. Not only is a laser-like focus on penetrative shagging narrow-minded and exclusionary (for instance, classic penetrative shagging isn’t feasible for all people), it can also lead to bad shagging when you actually do get to penetration. People who need more warm-up time to be in the right mood, as well as those who struggle to orgas...

Here's How to Ask Your Partner for More Adventurous Shagging

Hey Emily! My boyfriend and I have been together for seven months and he is so hot and has the greatest penis I've ever seen, seriously! But our shagging life is meh. He's not very adventurous or spontaneous and when we make love, it doesn't last long. He's not very good at going down on me and I've tried to guide him but it's not really working. I've made suggestions but nothing really takes. One time, he even asked if I wore thongs, and I was like, "Hello?! How many times have you taken my clothes off or seen me get dressed and you don't know what underwear I wear?!" How can I get him to have adventurous shagging (i.e. outside of the bedroom, etc.) and not just think of shagging as a chore? —Amanda, 24 Dear Amanda, Listen, it seems to me that the real issue here is that you’re bored. You want passion and intimacy and spontaneity, but instead it sounds like your boyfriend is in and out, and off to sleep. There’s a v...

Most Overrated Shagging Acts

Image
Shagging is great, there’s no denying that. The arousal, the plateau, the climax — all great stuff. There’s the sweatiness, too, and what your hair looks like afterward. But despite all the wet and wonderful things in the wild and wacky world of shagging, if we hold up for a moment and take a genuine, clear-eyed stare at it from a reasonable distance, it’s hard not to recognize that some consensual shagging acts are, well, frankly overrated. Yes, there are lots of shagging acts that have been skating by on the strength of “hot by association” for too long. These actions have somehow convinced people they’re s3xy and fun, when really they’re boring, overly complicated, or just unrealistic and plain stupid. To bring those down a peg, here are the nine shagging acts we’ve deemed the most overrated (and why we believe that). 1. Reverse Cowgirl The genius porn director who first concocted the Reverse Cowgirl position was either a maniac, a demon or both. Minus the presence...
