When it comes to sex and sex life, science has made incredible strides in understanding how some everyday factors, such as stress and even individual habits, can influence the libido of men and women. And some seemingly trivial and harmless habits can really get in the way, as some studies around the world show.
1 ? Sex Shop Articles Can Harm Sexual Health
Ironically, since these products are specially made to help improve the quality of sex life, some components used in their manufacture may end up impairing bed performance.
According to a study by the Dutch Organization for Applied Scientific Research, seven out of eight sex toys contain high concentrations of substances known as phthalates, which are used to make plastic softer and more pleasing to the touch.
However, contact of the genital region with phthalates is associated with a decrease in testosterone levels and sperm count, in addition to favoring the occurrence of cancer.
So give preference to products that use silicone, glass, metal and wood? or use a condom if you suspect your toys? contain phthalates.
2 ? Socks may not be sexy, but help at orgasm
You know that story that when the guy is in his socks, he stops looking sexy? For researchers at the University of Groningen, in an orgasm study, found that the chances of men and women reaching orgasm increased by about 80 percent when the extremities of the body, such as the feet, are warmed.
3? People exposed to bad odors are more likely to use condoms
Of course, the human brain has strange mechanisms, but this is information from a study at the University of New Mexico. Apparently, unpleasant odors trigger a brain self-protective reaction against disease. Did the scientists find the effect on people who were exposed to a room that smelled bad? they were more likely to use condoms after the experiment.
4? Older children seek fewer lifelong sexual partners
According to research at Florida Atlantic University, older children are more likely to pursue long-term life goals, such as having children or getting married, for example. The explanation would be that firstborns usually have greater identification with their parents and their family lifestyle, while younger children often pursue more dynamic and short-term sexual strategies.
5? Oral health directly influences male sex life
In addition to bad breath due to poor oral health care, not flossing can lead to so-called periodontal disease, which is directly linked to erectile dysfunction. Men with this type of oral health problem are about three times more likely to suffer consequences in their sex life than those who have stricter oral hygiene habits, says research published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. This is because bacteria that accumulate in the gums can eventually fall into the bloodstream, which can clog blood vessels and cause less blood circulation in the sex organs.
