Sharon Stone Tips For Virginity

The Aids campaigning actress, Sharon Stone - who appears fully nude in new film, 'Basic Instinct 2' says it's safer to have oral sex instead of giving up their virginity than going all the way without protection.

"Young people talk to me about what to do if they're being pressed for sex. I tell them what I believe - oral sex is a hundred times safer than vaginal or anal sex. If you're in a situation where you cannot get out of sex, offer something else. I'm not embarrassed to tell them," Sharon Stone said.

Stone also has revealed she's shocked her lesbian antics in the original movie still spark outrage. Earlier this year, 48-year-old beauty, Stone, was voted the sexiest "older woman" in the world, topped the poll by top US magazine 'Sly' beating a host of middle aged beauties to the title. Sylvester Stallone, the owner of this magazine said, Stone won because "her potency to the male libido rivals that of Viagra".

Drugs Squash Sexual Drive, Romance

Millions of people take antidepressants like Prozac each year. Most patients taking the drugs say they have diminished sex drive. There could be another side effect– a diminished ability to experience romance. Common antidepressants that affect serotonin levels in the brain also disrupt brain circuits that are involved in romance and attachment.

“When you cripple a person’s sexual desire and arousal, you’re also jeopardizing their ability to fall in love and to stay in love,” said Dr. Helen E. Fisher, an anthropologist. For 25 years, Fisher has studied the brains of people in love.

Three brain systems, all of which are interrelated, control lust, attraction and attachment. Different chemicals drive each system. Lust runs on androgens and estrogens; attachment is fueled by oxytocin and vasopressin; attraction comes from high levels of serotonin. In addition to causing your sex drive to tank, increased levels of serotonin from antidepressants can cause an imbalance among the three systems. “People should be aware that these drugs dull the emotions, including the positive ones that are central components of romantic life,” Fisher said.

How to Jump-Start Your Sex Life

The University of Chicago’s National Health and Social Life Survey found that more than one-third of women voiced concerns with their sex lives. Problems ranged from lack of arousal to low sexual desire.

There are remedies, but it’s important to realize that women are different from men when it comes to sexual satisfaction. A women’s emotional connection to her partner plays a larger role in arousal and satisfaction. Men are turned on more by “visual cues.”
In a Kinsey Institute survey, women ranked their “overall sense of well-being” as the top requirement for satisfying sex. The stress of balancing a career and family and having to juggle a hectic schedule can make sex seem like something else on a women’s “to do” list.

Experts suggest talking about your sexual problems as a couple; your emotional bonds will be strengthened. Exercise and relaxation will relieve stress. Sex therapy might help. Anger and resentment can interfere with satisfying sex; therapy will improve communication. Some physical conditions on women reproduction (vaginal or urinary tract infections and endometriosis) present obstacles to good sex. See your doctor and ask about testosterone therapy or estratest, an oral medication that combines estrogen and testosterone. Doctors can prescribe it for a sluggish libido.

Sleep-Deprived People Have Less Sex

Getting a good night’s sleep is vital for staying healthy. It’s also good for your sex life. Research suggests that chronically sleep-deprived people have less sex. “There are a lot of ways that sleep affects one’s sex life,” said J. Catesby Ware, MD, chief of sleep medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School.

Some people get less sleep and sex because of their hectic schedules. After a long day at work, many couples feel like sleeping– not having sex– when they hit the pillow. Some psychiatric or medical problems can also interfere with good sleep and sex. Symptoms of depression include diminished sex drive and insomnia. Many antidepressants can cause erectile dysfunction and loss of libido.

Sleep apnea is a medical condition in which people wake up hundreds of times during the night; this causes daytime sleepiness and irritability. Men with sleep apnea tend to have lower levels of testosterone, which can further lower their libido. To improve your “sleep hygiene,” or sleep behaviors, go to sleep and wake up at the same time each day. Exercise regularly and limit substance that disturb sleep, such as caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. See your physician if you think your sexual problems are due to lack of sleep.

Secrets to A Better Love Life

love-lifeToo much boredom in your bedroom? Is your sex life as fresh and exciting as your uncle Joe’s polyester leisure suit? Then it’s time to action.
Couples should make a “date” for sex. Do whatever you want beforehand; go to dinner, a movie, have a glass of wine by candlelight. Just remember to set aside time for sex. And get out of the house once in a while.

Sex can become routine if you come home and think about your job, the laundry, the kids’ soccer games and errands. Escape to a place that’s free of your reminders of everyday life. You can think about the present – making love – and not be so concerned with bill to be paid or whether you set the alarm clock. If getting away is a problem, try “redecorating” your bedroom. New sheets and candles around the room will make a difference. Clear out the junk and clutter; ditch the television. Try something new, like lingerie, massage and sex toys. Go slowly – make sex leisurely, playful and creative. Figure out what your sexual fantasy is; find out your partner wants, too. Talking openly will bring you closer. It will make sex more interesting for both of you.

But Sometimes, Sex Is a Real Pain For Women

“Not tonight, dear… I’ve got a headache.” If you experience bedroom pain other than a headache – we’re talking vaginal or pelvic pain during intercourse – you not alone. Fifteen percent of women who are of reproductive age experience dyspareunia. It can throw a monkey wrench into your relationship, not to mention disrupt one of life’s pleasures.

Common causes of pain during sex for women include a vaginal infection, which can be accompanied by burning, stinging, itching, a fishy odor and discharge. Most women suffer from a yeast infection at least once. Symptoms include itching and/or a cottage cheese-like discharge. Estrogen deprivation can result in insufficient lubrication and thinning of tissue, giving you a “sandpaper” feeling when you try to have intercourse. Lack of estrogen can happen after delivering a baby or while breastfeeding; it’s common in menopausal women who are not on hormone therapy. Other causes of pain during sex can be bladder infections, pelvic inflammatory diseases and ovarian cysts.

The bottom line is that sex should not hurt. Pain often responds to proper treatment. See a doctor and be as exact as possible in describing your symptoms, to get the right diagnosis.

Good Sex For Women Health


When Marvin Gaye recorded “Sexual Healing” and crooned about the benefits of sex (“…is good for me/Makes me feel so fine”), it turns out he was a visionary. “A good sexual relationship is essential to good health,” said Dr. Barbara Bartlick of Weil Cornell Medical College in New York.

Women sexual has a wealth of physical and psychological benefits. Researchers point to three neurotransmitters released by the brain before, during and after sex. Oxytocin, the “cuddle” hormone, promotes bonding and social attachment. Fathers with more of it are more likely to stick around and help raise their children. Endorphins dull the feeling of pain, relieve stress and strengthen the immune system. They also offer natural relief from arthritis, injury and migraines; they’re actually responsible for the “runner’s high.” Endorphins are one reason why stimulating a women’s G-spot elevates her pain threshold by 40 percent (100 percent if she’s having an orgasm).

Finally, serotonin offers a feeling of satisfaction that you get after eating a good meal; this is natural way to relax. “You never slept better than after good sex,” Bartlick said. “Some of my patients use it as a sleeping aid.” Sex is also a great aerobic workout, depending on how vigorous things get.
