Might make you blush...

     Who is completely comfortable when talking about the hard facts dealign with physical intimacy?  Well honestly I think everyone should be.  Its part of life and an even bigger part of marriage.  You should feel most comfortable talking about this with your spouse.  Maybe you are both experiencing some dissatisfaction but because of lack of communication you have no idea whats going on physically with one another.  My teacher who is a marriage and family therapist mentions how many couples come in to him with this problem.  It all stems from a misunderstanding of the opposite sex.  
Soooo here are some cold hard facts that may or may not make you blush...
-It may or may not come as a surprise to you but men and women operate differently! 
-Men are excited more easily than women in part because the male anatomy is external while the females is internal. 
-Sexual intercourse (yes I said it), happens very differently for both sexes.  
-Females might take longer to become aroused partly because women tend to be thinking of more than one thing at once, whereas men can direct their attention to one subject (mainly you) very easily.  So they become aroused very fast. 
- Excitement is the first stage on a chart women's excitement goes gradually upward as men's has a steeper incline. 
-Men have a shorter pleat where as women's are longer and as they reach the climax women can have multiple whereas men go straight back down into the refractory period because they need this time to "reboot" as some might say.  
- If we look at this on a graph, men's and women's sexual experiences don't look like they line up very well. 

     It is very important for couples to have each other in mind during as they are physically intimate so that the sexual experiences you are having lines up better and each of you receive the desired satisfaction.  You can truly become of "one flesh, and of one heart," and learn to think as one.

  1. I think the reality of sexual intimacy has been skewed as well. The media has altered our expectations. Climax is often seen as the purpose these relations, but there is so much more that comes as a result of this sacred union. Satisfaction should be measured not by a climax but by an increased of closeness or intimacy. If we focus on the physical aspect of sex alone, we neglect the emotional and spiritual components that can enrich our relationship.

  2. That is so true, thanks so much for your comment! I like how you look at other factors involved that a lot of society pushes aside today in making sexual intimacy a more casual event than it is in actuality.
