Sex can be a fun and enjoyable experience, but it can also bring with it a lot of awkward situations. Whether you’re educated or more inadequately educated about the topic of sex, growing up, sexual issues are not really something that get addressed.

No one takes you aside and lets you know about premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction. It’s as though these things are reserved for when you get older, so instead they sweep it under the rug. And the longer this goes on, the more this creates secrecy and taboo around these subjects. But it’s not just the one who experiences this personally that can feel awkward or embarrassed. If only they taught us easy ways to say, “honey, it seems as though your penis isn’t working too well, let’s get it checked out.”

Toxic masculinity also plays a part. We are still that society that sees women as the gatekeepers of sex, the ones who “take it” and men as the ones who should initiate and be responsible for delivering orgasms all around. But all that does is take the ownership of sexuality away from women and transfer it to men. A man’s sexual performance is so closely tied to his masculinity and this is where it becomes awkward. 

So how do you deliver that blow?

Sometimes, there is no escaping uncomfortable conversations. They are a part of life and also often a part of sex. But within those awkward moments, there can be vulnerability and that can help to bring intimacy into a relationship. Who would have thought talking about a a flaccid penis could actually help your relationship? These are the types of issues a couple needs to work on together and this can build the strength to help you get through other issues that arise.

Before you launch into having that awkward chat, you need to consider this: how he addresses things in the bedroom might give you an indication of how he is going to discuss it with you. If it’s swept under the rug and not acknowledged, this might be an indication to tread carefully.

Here are a few tips on approaching the situation:

If only I had a dollar for every time I was asked how to spice things up. From the moment I started my career as a Sexologist, it has been the most common question and will most likely continue to be until the day I hang up my hat.

Many people struggle in the bedroom, but it’s not always because there is an issue necessarily to struggle with. We are not educated enough about sex and what we should expect from it –  it’s often a matter of unrealistic expectations mixed with reality that plays in our head.

Many people look for the solution. Is it a position, a pill, a lube or a sex toy? Whilst all of this

can be a lot of fun (trust me on that one), it doesn’t always fix the entire problem. Instead of thinking 50 shades will cure the bedroom blues, we need to start with some of the simpler steps you can take to work on a healthy sexual relationship instead of trying to build a red room.

We are a sex-obsessed society, so of course the first place people want to start is in the bedroom. But often, those same people don’t stop to consider what the rest of their relationship is really like. Having issues in the bedroom is often not an isolated problem. If things are tense inside the bedroom, things can be tense outside of the bedroom too. If there are some relationship struggles going on in general, it can also have a flow on effect on your sex life. 

Adulting is not always easy. There might be bills, pressure from family and work stress, making you feel like you are being pulled in too many directions. Add another person into the mix with their own stuff going on and suddenly being stuck in a bit of a rut would nearly seem the norm. This is the pickle we are not taught how to get out of, but yet so many are in. 

But it doesn’t have to last forever and there are things you can do to help this.

Whilst I don’t have a magic solution for bills and work stress, working on your relationship can help increase overall satisfaction and also help with your attitudes about sex. So where to start?

Issues in the bedroom are common. Being a sexologist, people open up to me about what’s going on in their bedrooms, even random people I meet in my day to day life.

The coronavirus has seen sporting codes fall to their knees. It’s been a blow to team morale, the financial losses have been devastating and the fans have mourned the loss of live games that previously brought them together. But despite the setbacks, we’re starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

It seems too bizarre to be true, and yet there it is, all over our newspapers, TVs and social media.

You’ve probably noticed the correlation: It sure seems like a lot of bald guys have beards. 

There’s nothing worse than reaching the finish line right after getting started. You want to have an intense, lingering experience with your partner, but sometimes your body gets ahead of itself.

Like most blokes, you’ve probably given your head a good scratch only to find a bunch of flakes on your finger tips. Or you passed a mirror and spotted some unsightly white dust on your shoulders.

Technology changes everything. It changes the way we work and the way we socialize. It changes the way we find love, get new jobs, and seek entertainment.

You want to look, feel, and perform the best. That starts with your health. You can’t take action every day to build your life if you feel fatigued, run down, and unmotivated.

If you’re like many guys, you wish you could hold off longer before finishing in bed. You want to last as long as possible and please your partner as much as you can before enjoying your moment.

Our brains love looking at faces. Faces are the first thing we see when we meet someone. It’s no surprise that we all want clean and healthy-looking skin.

Sex and sexuality are important parts of life. Aside from procreation, sex offers a number of benefits, like helping you sleep, reducing stress, improving muscle tone and circulation, and even boosting your immune system.

For a while, you hoped it wasn’t true. “The lighting in this room is bad,” you told yourself. Alternatively, maybe: “It’s just styled poorly.”

“He makes more money than I do.” “His hair is so much nicer than mine.” “He goes to more interesting places than I do.”

Have you ever felt like there’s greatness inside you, but there’s always some obstacle in the way of realising it?

We’re often asked about the impact lifestyle factors have on hair loss. One client recently questioned whether or not so called ‘testosterone boosting’ activity might accelerate hair loss. Don’t stress. Pumping weights, having sex and changing your diet will not sufficiently boost endogenous (within the body) DHT levels to cause accelerated hair loss or balding. Levels of hormone within the body are tightly regulated by feedback mechanisms, such that any of these activities are unlikely to cause any measurable hormonal fluctuation for long periods of time.

Hair loss or hair thinning is a common source of anxiety for many women. The hair on our head is our most visible secondary sexual characteristic and its purpose is almost purely aesthetic. Long, thick hair in women has long been equated with beauty and femininity. It is therefore not surprising that hair loss in women can have more significant psychosocial consequences than it does in men.

What does stress do to my hair?

Dihydrotestosterone (often abbreviated to DHT) is the hormone that lies at the epicentre of balding. DHT may also be referred to as 5α-dihydrotestosterone (5α-DHT) or 5α-androstan-17β-ol-3-one. Don't be confused; they're all the same thing!

The purchase of online prescription and over the counter medications on the internet is becoming increasingly popular.
