Most marriage psychologists and counselors will agree that sex is an extremely important part of any romantic relationship, possibly the most important, although it is rarely openly admitted. Sex is something you do with your partner and with no one else (usually). Of course, we can also hug, talk and kiss our partner to express our love, but we can also do these kinds of things with our brothers, our mother and even with friends. Sex, on the other hand, is the ultimate act that draws the line between the types of relationships we have with people . Furthermore, sex as a unique expression of intimacy appears to have numerous benefits for life and health, as many studies have shown: it is a stress reliever, it reduces the risk of cancer (especially prostate cancer in men), it reduces the pain in many cases, improves sleep and can even cure insomnia in some cases, improves skin and health in general. Furthermore, sex is the natural means of reproduction, which perpetuates the human race. In short, sex is life.
Of course, there are a number of habits that can damage our sex life, such as bingeing on unhealthy foods.
If you are a junk food addict, you are filling your body with lots of refined carbohydrates, simple sugars, and saturated and trans fats. This can slow blood flow and affect how well your body can function during sex. Reduce this type of food in your intake and increase the amount of fruits, vegetables and proteins and you will feel with much more energy for sexual intercourse.
We should all know the basics when it comes to sex: have the consent of the other, use protection at all times, respect the needs of the partner and have fun.
