What is sexuality

From the point of view of psychology, female sexuality is behavior, actions, experiences, emotional reactions, biological needs, psychophysiological and mental reactions, in total, necessary for the satisfaction and manifestation of sexual desire. Sexuality is similar to the process of breathing, so necessary for the body. The factor is considered innate, over the years it is only formed and improved on the basis of the individual's life experience.

How to raise your libido

Girls and women can manage and enhance their sexuality without age. For this, there are rules that are recommended to be followed.

You need to look in the mirror at your reflection, find positive moments in your appearance, praise yourself, try to love yourself, your appearance, with all the deviations and shortcomings. Falling in love with herself, the girl will notice how fans and loved ones treat her.

You should start doing gymnastics, special exercises, yoga, which will help increase the level of sexual activity of the body. There are a lot of interesting pages on the Internet on a given topic, if you don't want to contact a specialist.

Sexuality and sensation go hand in hand. Stroking, touching your body will help develop sensuality. For analysis, you need to focus on the points of contact, understand the sensations, listen to the body, amplify and experience the emotion. After the "monologue" with yourself, you can transfer the sensations to the bodily and sexual "dialogue" with your partner.

Sex fantasies increase sensuality. Seeing a handsome attractive man, you need to look at him as a sexual partner, imagine him next to you in bed. You can mentally undress him, imagine what kind of body is hiding under clothes, try to feel his touches and caresses, feel his smell and every movement. How far can fantasy take you? It's worth trying and finding the answer.

Research into your body and masturbation leads to increased sexual sensibility and is able to bring to orgasm. To get complete satisfaction in bed with a partner, it is important to know your and his erogenous zones. There are many women in the world who have never had an orgasm in their lives. At first, there are few girls who get real pleasure in their sexual life. During this period, it is necessary to read notes and books about female anatomy in terms of sex.

If a girl or girl has experienced a sexual trauma at a young age, for a full-fledged harmonious relationship with a partner and future husband, she will need the help of a specialist - a psychotherapist.

Flirting and coquetry can attract male attention. If a girl lives alone, without constant sexual intercourse, she can show sexuality to attract a sexual partner. Moreover, the woman's age does not matter. You need to try without a hint of embarrassment to withstand the attention, the gaze of a man, smile in return, while remaining in eye contact. Compliments are always nice.

Having sex allows you to satisfy the physiological needs of the body and get pleasure, give a positive emotional explosion to the body. You shouldn't deny yourself and your partner a piece of pleasure.
