It has been scientifically proven that almost every married couple who has been married for more than two years experiences certain problems in sexual relations. This is due to different levels of male and female hormones, different needs and expectations, certain difficulties and misunderstandings. In other words, conflict in sex can arise for any reason. Most people do not know the truth about what causes emotional, delightful, quality sex. It is believed that quality sex is a consequence of certain abilities and frequency. However, this is not true at all.
The most important thing in sexual relations is mutual understanding between partners, when sex is an expression of love. If partners have sex only in the hope of winning love or for health purposes, there can be no talk of any long-term relations. It has also been proven that achieving an orgasm is not a guarantee of mind-blowing sex. Of course, you can get pleasure during sex, but after a while, only a feeling of emptiness and loneliness will remain. Another misconception is that sex gives birth to love.
Psychologists assure that love is born inside a person, and the way he sees and evaluates himself affects the relationship between the sexes. For high-quality, emotional sex, it is necessary to feel an emotional connection with a partner, since getting pleasure from sex directly depends on the emotional state.
