An amazing number of people find it extremely difficult to talk directly and honestly with their partners about their sexual desires, fears and problems. Many people have been trained to perceive discussions about sex as being so private, so embarrassing and so revealing, that they hesitate to talk about their own feelings and wishes even with the person they’ve been married to for years.
In this context it is absolutely essential for partners to talk to each other about sex, so that their bodies can adjust mutually and their pleasures increase. Despite this, in my experience, most couples never talk to each other about what they do in bed, whether it is good or bad, or whether it gives them any satisfaction. I, for one, find it hard to believe that during the most intense moments of a couple’s relationship, neither partner knows what the other is thinking; their minds remain separate whereas their bodies are striving to get as close as two bodies can.
Many women talk freely to their friends about unfulfilled desires, disappointments and frustrations, but men generally keep their sex lives secret. I’m convinced that there would be far fewer misunderstandings, arguments and conflicts if both partners would talk openly about their physical and emotional expectations. I believe that nothing but good would come of sharing these innermost desires, however strange and fantastic they might appear to be.

Many women think of masturbation as unnatural and disgusting and a complete waste of time, and don’t understand why anybody does it and are unsympathetic to the view that people might continue to do it even though they have sexual partners. The majority of men, though they may keep their feelings to themselves, don’t agree.
For most people, once it is faced, masturbation in front of, or with a partner, and particularly if it is mutual, can be an extremely enjoyable and exciting way of making love, especially if it comes at the end of an extended period of foreplay. Differences in attitudes can be ironed out only if you are candid with your partner and voice your feelings about masturbation. You may get a shock; you may find that you are both mutually attracted to the idea.
There are many myths about masturbation, but it is important to realize that masturbation cannot cause any trouble for anyone unless it is against one’s own moral sanctions. View it as an excellent opportunity for self-education. You should be open and comfortable with it; it should never end up leaving impressions of hurriedness, guilt or secretiveness about sex. More importantly, masturbation can lead to intense orgasms, and it is the one way to develop sexual comfort, security and self-esteem.
Above all, masturbation is not something that means sex with your partner is not as good as it should be, or even that your partner cannot stimulate your genital organs in the way that you like. Many partners have their best sexual experiences when masturbation or mutual masturbation is engaged in prior to or during sexual intercourse.

Many people find it worthwhile to take a good, hard look at themselves as a way of getting in touch with and appreciating their bodies. Most of us are far too hard on ourselves. It will buck up your feelings quite a lot if you concentrate on your good points rather than emphasizing the bad.
Doing the following should help to lessen self-consciousness and make you more comfortable with yourself and with your body as a source of sexual pleasure. It is best to do these “exercises” in private, when you have plenty of time and feel as relaxed as possible.
The Sexual Repertoire-The activities described here are practised by most people. There are more bizarre practices, but these aren’t included since they occur rarely and may not be embraced whole-heartedly by both partners. Your sexual experience may include some if the former, you might like to try out the new ones. Remember that for truly satisfying experiences, partners must learn how to receive as well as give.

Sexual tension in the initial stage increases more slowly in women than men, frequently taking 20 or 25 minutes but, on average, 15 minutes. The more varied and stimulating the foreplay, the more rapidly a woman passes through this initial arousal phase. Her pleasure then rises in a parallel and step-wise fashion with the thrusting of the penis within her vagina. If direct stimulation of the clitoris is maintained simultaneously throughout this period, a woman can proceed quickly to the point of orgasm. After orgasm there is a slow and gradual return to normality often extending up to half an hour. During this resolution phase, the breasts return to their normal size and the swelling of the labia diminishes.
Woman’s experience-With penetration and the man’s thrusting movements, her pleasure increases in step-wise fashion and she proceeds to orgasm.
The woman becomes fully aroused more slowly than the man during foreplay. Tension increases until the plateau phase, when she longs to be penetrated.
After the climax, a woman’s return to normality is slow and gradual, unlike a man’s. Sometimes she can delay this phase and remain at least at plateau stage, experiencing multiple orgasms if further stimulated.

The changes that mark a boy’s physical development into a mature man begin in the pre-teen and early teen years and are completed when he is between 14 and 18. These changes — when boys become taller and more muscular, with wider shoulders, more developed genital organs and with hair appearing on their genitals, underarms, faces, chests, arms and legs – are caused mainly by the male hormone, testosterone. As well as having the characteristics set out below, the adult male has experienced his voice “breaking”, caused by the larynx enlarging and the vocal cords becoming longer and thicker so that the pitch of the voice drops, and an increase in sweat and sebaceous gland activity.
After testicular activity is established at puberty it normally continues for the rest of life with only slight impairment in later years. In old age there is a slight reduction in the production of sperm and androgen. This is associated with some degenerative changes in the testes, but there is no abrupt testicular decline comparable to the female climacteric.
The “average” man is approximately 173 centimetres (5 feet 9 inches) tall and weighs 74 kilos (162 pounds); his chest, waist and hip measurements are 98, 80, 93 centimetres (39, 32, 37 inches).
