Self-love – it’s a simple concept. Yet, we often neglect to give ourselves the positivity, time and kindness we so deserve.
Steamy secrets, dirty dreaming, lustful liaisons – regardless of whether we act them out or not, sexual fantasies are completely normal. With many of us admitting to having one, two (or more), of our own, they might just be more common than you’d think too.
But what are they?
Sexual empowerment – in a sex saturated world where we can lose ourselves in erotica novels and fictional characters, it may not mean what you think it does.
Foreplay doesn’t just have to be a kiss and a cuddle within the confines of the bedroom. In fact, erotic massage is the perfect way to connect physically and emotionally. A massage can be a simple stroking of the hands or a good going-over of the whole body. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll soon realise the benefits to your heath, your body, your relationship and your sex life.
Sex can be so good for you, we know this. But not only is it great for your mental wellbeing, as all of the ‘feel-good’ hormones are released in our brains, but it can also be great for our physical health, by burning calories and toning our bodies. Recent research has even indicated that sex is equivalent to light-moderate exercise and you can burn between 3 to 4 calories per minute. How exhilarating!
