Should you have sex before a sports competition?

In the collective unconscious, good sex before a sports competition can alter physical and mental performance. For others, it would be a booster! Where does the truth lie? At Goliate, we asked ourselves the question. In Ancient Greece, sexual relations were forbidden before sport; it was thought that it was detrimental to performance. It was bad for the body and the mind! But today? It's still the same story. We've all heard that the coach of the British football team forbade his players from having sex during the 1998 World Cup... So abstinence would be a key to victory, the best way to win medals? Not so sure: remember that England was eliminated in the round of 16! The fact remains that the belief persists: even Muhammad Ali, the famous boxer, would abstain before an important match to increase his competitiveness. Really? Why? What are we afraid of? Keeping your vital energy (and testosterone)… In the imagination, sex is exhausting. It eats away at our resources and our vital energy, which is none other than our libido, this burst of life that we can put into the activity of our choice! And then, sex is so good that it is likely to make us leave the real world to the point of altering our concentration. But, without concentration, what do we become on a ring, a racetrack, a stage? Let's imagine intense sexual intercourse the day before a major sporting event: by abandoning ourselves under the sheets, offering all our breath and our vigor with pleasure, we empty ourselves! The next day, it's a disaster: tired muscles, dreamy or foggy head... That's where the belief is born! In other words, we have to choose where to give our passion, passion cannot be everywhere, on the field and in bed. Another "problem": the testosterone level. By consuming too much of it during lovemaking, the level would drop and would no longer be strong enough to accompany athletes in their sporting events. Because, thanks to the testosterone hormone, men would be more aggressive, stronger, and their performance capacity would smash all the scores. For an athlete, testosterone would therefore be a major asset, a sort of natural fuel that fuels their performance. If sexual intercourse causes a drop in this level, we can easily imagine the consequences: reduced power, sluggish determination... Hence the fear of some athletes of seeing their energy evaporate after a night of sex. Studies that leave us free! So, myth or not? Are there any studies to confirm or deny this? In an article posted online last year on this subject, the magazine l'Equipe shares the results of a first study conducted in the 90s in the United States thanks to the curiosity of a student at the University of Southern Mississippi. The conclusion: out of the 11 men observed, aged 26 on average, no difference could be observed between those who made love and those who did not make love before running on a treadmill. Another study, this time more recent (2016) and published in Science Daily , looked at all the studies on this subject… seeking to uncover the truth. It emerges from this analysis that abstinence and performance have little to do with each other… According to the researchers, unless you have sex two hours before a decisive competition, there is no reason to fail. More precisely, we can read that “no particular importance was given to the psychological or physical effects of sexual activity on sports performance, or on the different types of sports.” Enough to debunk the idea that sex harms sports results (but don’t forget to have fun 120 minutes before putting on your shorts…). And for women? Indeed, sexual performance VS sporting performance is much less considered in women... The Science Daily survey also takes the time to highlight this: men are studied much more often than women. However, sex that tires is sex that tires! In the same way, sex that boosts is sex that boosts... But what about hormones? They can influence the impact of sexual intercourse on effort! To answer the question, we should rather look at menstrual health. At the beginning of the cycle, with menstruation, women may be more tired. In the middle of the cycle, during ovulation, it's different: generally, women have more energy, the ideal time to do sports. What if sex before competition was a good idea? Among all the existing studies on this subject, some would send us a different story... Listen carefully, finally open your eyes: sex could promote relaxation and improve sleep (a big nap after intercourse), so that athletes would be in shape! Also, the hormones that we produce during lovemaking would have their role to play in physical activity: anti-stress, joy... We would feel good, in the body and in the head! Isn't this proof, ultimately, that it is impossible to decide and that it is above all a question of personal decisions, of impulses or intimate brakes? If we go further, we can also note that a fulfilling sex life (and not just a one-shot relationship the day before a competition) would help improve self-confidence. If we feel good about ourselves, happy in our relationships and comfortable with our bodies, we can more easily win curtains and medals! So what do we do? We do what we want! From there, each athlete will see noon at his door: desire for sex or not? Can this sexual intercourse do me good, bring me strength? On the contrary, will it exhaust me? Am I more to nourish my sexual or sporting performances, today? Where do I need to place my libido, this vital energy which vibrates in me? We ask ourselves the right questions! We also question our beliefs: indeed, if we firmly believe that sexual intercourse before a sporting effort has a negative impact on our performances, then we abstain, regardless of whether it is true or not. Because it is also what we have in our heads that can change the situation… The only thing to do is to listen to yourself, knowing that everything also depends on the sporting practice that awaits us. A little race on Sunday is not the Olympic Games... It's up to you! Our recommendations for gentle sex (that takes care of you before sport) Before sport, why not treat yourself to a gentle moment for your head and body, which doesn't exhaust you but relaxes you? At Goliate, we have created an organic edible 2in1 massage cream: the gourmet couple for a sensual moment and more if you like. You can also leave with our organic aphrodisiac massage oil to relax and awaken your senses. So many products for super enjoyable slow sex sessions!

What is an orgasm and how to recognize it?

There is sexual pleasure… and then there is orgasm, that amazing climax of strong sensations. But why do we come, exactly? Can we not notice it? How to recognize orgasm, all our orgasms? Let's go over the subject! Ask anyone to define orgasm for you: everyone will come up with their own definition and adjective. For some, orgasm is volcanic, surprising, boiling, trembling. For others, it is shivering, rare, comical, soft or cute. For others still, it is… a mystery. Because yes, if orgasm is part of our sexual lives, are we sure we know it and recognize it well? To accept it as it is to enjoy it more? It may be at the center of our conversations, we have a lot to learn about it to better appreciate it and enjoy it more! A medical definition Orgasm is a key experience in human sexuality and sexual health. In other words, it brings us satisfaction during our sexual intercourse. But where does it come from, exactly? It usually occurs after the arousal and plateau phases. These phases of what is called "sexual response" were defined by Masters and Johnson, pioneering researchers in sexuality, in the last century. They are the different stages that we go through during sexual intercourse. After the arousal phase (desire is satisfied, pleasure increases), we reach the plateau phase, during which our pleasure is maintained. Then, all the pent-up pleasure ends up exploding: it's orgasm, or orgasmic discharge! Most of the time, we feel a loss of control. What exactly happens in our body when we lose control? The DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American Psychiatric Association), a reference work in psychiatry that focuses on many psychological and physiological phenomena, offers a definition of orgasm. We can read that it is a "feeling of intense pleasure resulting from sexual stimulation, accompanied by involuntary rhythmic contractions of the pelvic floor muscles." We must add to that a psychological dimension: we also feel things in our heads! Relaxation, emotions, love, satisfaction... Was that an orgasm? All the evidence you need to know! Some people don't know they've had an orgasm, or at least they doubt it! This can be explained by a discreet or quick orgasm, or by a lack of connection to oneself. So, to recognize an orgasm, we can go beyond its definition and discover all the phenomena likely to accompany it. Involuntary contractions of the pelvic floor, in other words the intimate area: in fact, as the official definition suggests, orgasm is manifested by contractions in the intimate area. It's a bit like all the pleasure concentrated here since the beginning of sexual intercourse bursts forth. A racing heartbeat: During lovemaking, the heart beats fast. During orgasm, it pounding! Faster breathing: Breathing is also a marker of orgasm. You may need to catch your breath, you may gasp for air, you may pant with pleasure… Body temperature increases: difficult to measure (we're not going to get out the thermometer), but we can feel that we are hot! The diameter of the pupil widens: of course, this is not the time to look at yourself in a mirror, but you can look your partner in the eyes... and see how magical it is! An urge to pee, especially in women (I also invite you to read our article on female ejaculation ). The part of the perineum that surrounds the vagina can, by contracting more and more strongly, tickle the urethra. As a reminder, the perineum is a set of muscles that participate in sexual pleasure. In women, lubrication is always more intense: women feel wetter. Also, the lips at the vulva swell and the glans of the clitoris is more visible and harder. In men, the erection may be harder, more rigid, evidence that orgasm is in progress. Ejaculation, in men, is also proof of an orgasm that is on the horizon. However, be careful, it is not impossible to ejaculate without cumming: this is called a reflex. Mechanical pleasure is present but there is certainly a lack of a psychological dimension to trigger a real male orgasm capable of surprising the body and mind! And then, depending on the individual: a desire to laugh or cry, a need to scream or talk, redness on the chest, a fantasy of pain, spasms... After orgasm, new clues to know that you have come While some women and men feel like laughing or crying during orgasm, you should know that these emotional reactions can occur after orgasm and ejaculation. So, if you are moved, tell yourself that you have certainly just come. Otherwise, why would your state change like that? In addition to this, after sexual intercourse and orgasm, an intense feeling of relaxation can invade you, to the point of making you want to sleep. Because yes, the brain is present during pleasure and orgasm: it releases neurotransmitters that have a super relaxing effect! For example, oxytocin relaxes and strengthens the bond with the partner, while endorphins, known to reduce the sensation of physical pain, provide a general state of well-being. So if you are high after having a lot of pleasure, it is normal, and there is a good chance that you have reached orgasm! Another way to realize the orgasm that has just occurred: the sensitivity of the intimate parts. Not everyone experiences it. But many men and women no longer want their penis, vulva or glans of the clitoris to be touched: these pleasure organs have worked hard and need to recover from their emotions. We are talking about the refractory period, this period of time during which the sex takes a break after pleasure. The erection goes down, the clitoris too. It will take several minutes, even several hours, to restart the pleasure from the excitement phase, the very first one! Clitoral or vaginal orgasm? The question still exists. Women sometimes think that they did not come because there was no vaginal penetration, this is false! The female orgasm has no law, no rules. In all cases, it comes from the clitoris, this fabulous organ dedicated to pleasure, which swells with caresses. Distinguishing vaginal orgasm from clitoral orgasm therefore makes no sense, and that is good news. The clitoris extends inside the body for several centimeters. In its "hideout", it crosses the perineum, which, through contractions, stimulates it. In short, a woman can orgasm by practicing vaginal penetration, but also by taking advantage of stimulation of the vulva and the glans of the clitoris. Moreover, we now know that women who tend to orgasm less generally lead a sex life very oriented towards vaginal penetration: however, it is by caressing the exterior of the female sex (the vulva and the emerged part of the clitoris) that orgasm can surprise! Yes, it is an orgasm in its own right. You can absolutely have an orgasm without having stimulated the vagina, in the same way that having sex without penetration is still having sex! By breaking away from these stereotypes, we open ourselves up to all our orgasms and we love them all the more! Change your vision of orgasm to enjoy it better What if we stopped imagining that orgasm is necessarily the consequence of active and rhythmic penetration? What if we stopped imagining that orgasm is necessarily spectacular, accompanied by screams, curtains being torn off, nails scratching the partner's shoulders? By giving more freedom to our orgasms, by accepting that they are small, large, shy, original or even lazy, we learn to welcome them as they are and therefore to appreciate them. We also learn to appreciate their particularities: some will make us suffocate, others will offer us only small tremors... We will then know that all physical and physiological manifestations are in nature, and that the most important thing is to connect to them to get maximum pleasure from them! So let's choose to look at our orgasms with more indulgence. If we get out of our narrow vision, we will recognize the orgasm better, since we will grant it the right to be who it is! Who knows if we have not missed several orgasms, all because they did not seem like... orgasms? Let yourself be surprised by orgasm Why do some people have difficulty in reaching orgasm? Because they hope, more than anything, to reach orgasm. We all want orgasms: you have to see how pleasurable pleasure is! But if we focus only on this goal, we miss out on pleasure. Our "plateau phase" becomes impoverished. However, it is by living the caresses to the fullest, by taking the time to stimulate our erogenous zones, that we accumulate pleasure. This is how orgasm can surprise us afterwards: because we do not expect it but we have put all the chances on our side! A good resolution: stop trying to "perform". The idea is not to achieve incredible orgasms but to feel good in your body, to connect with your sensations, to take care of your sexual relations, to make it last... This is how orgasm can arrive and be enjoyable. Dare to masturbate to better understand your orgasms To better accept your orgasms and especially learn to know and recognize them, the practice of masturbation in women as in men is a good idea. Of course, it is not a mandatory practice: everyone does what they want, as they want. Simply, the fact of trying autoeroticism offers a very precious observation time. Let's say that it is not a question of making love with your brain (only) and being in "analysis" mode, but it is interesting to see masturbation as a playground and new sensations in search of a more fulfilled sexuality. We can test things: If I stroke myself longer and hold back my desire longer, is the orgasm stronger afterwards? Do more direct caresses cause greater pleasure? Does more “physical” masturbation (changing positions, sustained rhythm of caresses, etc.) lead to new types of orgasms? Should I stimulate erogenous zones that I tend to forget about, or that are rarely used during sexual intercourse? Maybe they deserve better treatment! Solo, this is the opportunity! Do my fingers fill me with pleasure, or can I use a sex toy? To stimulate the clitoris and vagina in women, the prostate and penis in men… Each toy has its role to accompany us in the experience of our orgasms. Masturbation allows us to discover several types of orgasms and to understand that our orgasms are never the same. Everything depends on our caresses, our practices, the erogenous zones addressed, our state of mind at that moment... The important thing is to hear that all orgasms are in... our nature!

4 Ways to Know Sacred Sexuality

At Goliate, we are deeply interested in sacred sexuality, a spiritual approach to sexuality for maximum love and connection to oneself and to others. Explanations and advice to meet a new form of ecstasy. Sacred sexuality can be scary: right away, we imagine a perched practice, far from the sexuality we know. And what if that was, precisely, the whole point? The opportunity to leave our sexual automatisms and our recurring practices – penetration, orgasm, sleep – to rediscover our desires, our pleasures, and the strong bond between two partners? Does that still seem vague to you? To fully understand what sacred sexuality is and form an opinion, you have to understand what tantric sex is: a kind of state of awakening and pronounced awareness of love and carnal pleasure. In short, we forget the effective and directive caresses of modern-day sexuality to cherish the relationship and connection that are offered to us. From there, we flirt with new sensations, both on a sentimental and physical level. Here are our four ideas for trying it out and rediscovering your sexuality... in a tantra version, or a more sacred version! Dare to look… without hands And what if, to get out of a mechanical sexuality, such as we have always invited it into our intimacy, we started by getting naked, face to face? Cross-legged on the bed or sofa, blankets within reach if necessary, each member of the couple closes their eyes and takes the time to breathe slowly. This moment of concentration allows you to push away intrusive thoughts and to connect with yourself and your own presence before going in search of the other. The couple can also synchronize their breathing so that sexual energy settles and circulates. Then, the couple opens their eyes and plays at contemplating each other, looking at each other, why not smiling at each other. Of course, you may feel embarrassed. But this exercise is very interesting, it invites bodies and hearts to live together, very closely, and to capture their mutual energies. You can then touch each other's hands. You are now connected! What exactly do you feel? Tender or exciting? Good to know: the goal of this practice is not to have sex. Otherwise, you risk going fast and not enjoying the connection that is established. Look at each other for a while then lie down together, undertaking, if you wish, very slow caresses to continue to arouse each other. By "frustrating" your desire, you charge it! Then, why not decide to make love tomorrow? Maintaining this ardent desire means remaining in a very interesting state of sexual energy. Practice slow motion penetration No one is unaware of the sometimes boring nature of the back-and-forth of penetration! And yet, we continue. For pleasure, certainly, but also out of habit. What if it were time to rediscover penetration in the way of sacred sexuality, revisited in the light of spirituality? How can we make penetration more sacred and turn the page on this practice that has become mechanical? You can opt for slow penetration: there is indeed penetration but once the fusion sets in, stop everything! When you are perfectly united because perfectly fitted, sacred sexuality invites you to slow down the movements and to initiate very light ones. Why not undulate together, at a gentle pace, always looking into each other's eyes to strengthen the bond between bodies and minds? The temptation to speed up can be strong! And why not, if you feel like it. But come back from time to time to this sacred exercise, which, with practice, will make you discover a new type of powerful orgasm because it is very contained! Good to know: you can practice circumclusion , which counterbalances penetration. You have to forget the idea of ​​the penis entering the vagina – or the anus, but remember that the partner's organ welcomes and envelops the penis. Each partner is both giver and receiver. The connection with sacred sexuality? At the heart of this suspended time, men and women can focus on this balance. Each body gives as much to the other and the energies circulate freely. This equality is good for the relationship. Enjoy this exercise and the new pleasure it offers you! Dance slowly and intuitively Dancing can be sexy, but it can also be sensual. Why not try, as a couple, to start a few dance steps, to connect with each other? Dressed up, you put on some music that you like and then you let your bodies do the rest. How do they undulate? Do they move? Do they stick together? The simple act of moving supports the circulation of energies from one partner to the other. This activity invites surrender and therefore letting go, a central notion in tantra. Letting go never seems obvious, but it is when we forget the outside and accept to no longer control anything that we can be entirely present to our body and our sensations. Good to know: don't hesitate to turn off the light, which will allow you to enter a bubble far from the real world, and, why not, leave some areas of your skin in the open air. Your bare skins, one against the other, will be able to communicate and commune. A door opens for desire! When the dance has lasted well, you can move on to another exercise, or take the time for a moment of tenderness to continue the connection. Activate your five senses For an awakening of the body and consciousness, our five senses have a role to play. In a tantric approach to sexuality, it is therefore interesting to solicit them to "educate" them. The more they participate in intimate relationships, the more they will express themselves: over time, your senses will always be there and support you in your pleasures! Stimulating the senses is therefore precious, especially since it creates play and complicity. The couple can equip themselves with ice cubes, chocolate, soft fabrics, and then put music in the room. We listen, we smell, we shiver, we taste, and we watch. You are free, use your imagination. Each time one of your senses is titillated, focus on the sensation, only on the sensation, and place all your consciousness there! Forget the possible caresses, the orgasms to come, the practices that have punctuated your sexuality since the beginning of your sexual life. Focus only on what your body feels. Among our products, all organic and made in France, " Le couple gourmand " (A 2 in 1 edible massage oil and intimate lubricant) can accompany you in this awakening of the senses. Our product Aphrodisiac massage oil will also surprise you! Good to know: choosing to work on your senses while emphasizing looks (as suggested in track #1) and sharing slow gestures can lead you to tantric orgasms. In other words, pleasure reaches a new dimension: your mind is 100% connected to this rising pleasure, the orgasm seems to approach but does not explode; the contained sexual energy is incredible and gives you incredible pleasure. Welcome to sacred sexuality, this world where sex awakens us!

Anal pleasure: your questions and our answers!

Does anal pleasure attract you as much as it questions you? At Goliate, in addition to designing products (all made in France) that accompany you in the discovery of your practices, we answer all your apprehensions on the subject! The anus and rectum are innervated areas, meaning they are sensitive and capable of giving us pleasure – and even an orgasm – when they are stimulated! Through sodomy, but also analingus or well-conducted external caresses around the anus, anal sensations bring pleasant surprises and ecstasy! Alone during masturbation , as a couple, with a sex toy, fingers, a penis… Everything is possible. But you still have to get rid of your apprehensions, which are normal after all, by stocking up on knowledge about anal sex, for a rigorous letting go and fabulous discoveries to come! I'm afraid of being hurt This fear is very common, and it is justified! Why? The rectum, unlike the vagina for example, does not lubricate spontaneously. This means that penetration, by an object, a penis or even a finger, can cause some discomfort (it slips, it lacks fluidity, etc.). Fearing pain during anal sex is therefore normal. Our advice The solution is obvious: using a lubricant! Lubricant is the perfect and reassuring companion for anal penetration, which would be a shame to do without when you know that it is essential. It is nature that wants it! Of course, in addition to lubricant as a "support", we recommend that you take it step by step: if it is your first time, start with anal caresses and play with your fingers or your partner's fingers. The important thing is to conquer this erogenous zone of your body with confidence, to better familiarize yourself with it and explore it better. At Goliate, we have designed an anal lubricant, the Anal Lubricating Gel , designed for your pleasure. Water-based and non-greasy, it is composed of natural ingredients, which respect the intimate area and is certified organic. Compatible with sex toys and silicone plugs, it provides the moisture necessary for anal practice. With it, you can gently go to meet your pleasures, alone or as a couple. I'm afraid of tensing up and blocking penetration We understand this fear! In case of apprehension, it is not impossible that your body emits a blockage. This does not always prevent penetration but can generate pain nonetheless. But how to relax? Our advice First, make sure you want to try anal pleasure and that you are completely confident and safe with your partner and your environment. You should not force yourself to discover pleasures for the sake of discovering pleasures! Listen to yourself. If you really want to, then you can take the time to approach the anal area, in a comfortable position. No need to start by using a sex toy that could surprise you too quickly! Start with your fingers, and opt for gentle caresses around the anus and at the entrance to the anus. The more the pleasure increases, the more you will relax and send a positive signal to your mind. Your anal sphincter (the muscle that surrounds the rectum, likely to "contract" and slow down any penetration) will relax more easily. This is called dilation! We have thought of an Anal Relaxant , perfectly relaxing. It is composed of essential oils of tarragon, black pepper, rosemary and wintergreen, known for their relaxing properties, as well as benzoin and ginseng, two plants that stimulate pleasure. In addition, it goes very well with our Anal Lubricating Gel and helps to heal micro-cuts: the winning combo for a sexuality that leads to self-abandonment! I'm afraid of being dirty Another very common apprehension. But good news: in the same way that the vagina cleans itself (as does the eye, by the way), the rectum is capable of such a feat, too. However, we are never sure of exactly what is happening there, and the anus needs a helping hand. It is not only the orifice but also the entrance to the rectum, an area that can therefore be cleaned. Our advice It goes without saying that good personal hygiene is essential, especially after having a bowel movement. Use water and a mild soap, especially if you plan to have anal sex. A "safe" solution, which is very reassuring, is to perform a rectal enema. The process must be respected. Generally, an enema bulb is used, which will be used to fill the rectum with water. This water, once released (it is held for a few seconds) evacuates any stool debris. Follow your instructions carefully! Be careful, however, not to overdo enemas, which could in the long run disrupt the balance of the flora (the famous one used to enema the rectum). Finally, be aware that for reasons of hygiene, but also to protect yourself from STIs, using a condom can be very useful. I'm afraid to use a sex toy That's good: there's no obligation to use a sex toy to discover anal pleasure. It's up to you, knowing that there are advantages and disadvantages! Our advice If you are a novice, avoid "big" sex toys, which could be rough and which do not have "arms", i.e. a fold that prevents any anal "absorption" (don't worry, this is not so common, especially with sex toys that take up space). The ideal: the anal plug, thin and curved, perfectly adapted to anal practice. It can help you meet your anus gently! And if it vibrates, the experience can be all the more astonishing: the plug can quietly lead you to a more pronounced pleasure. Also, for men, using a prostate massager will have a double effect, between anal stimulation and prostate stimulation ! Of course, if you prefer to use your fingers, for more precise control of your movements, that's great too, even if, during masturbation, it is not easy to contort yourself. Hence the possible use of a plug that is as soft as it is reassuring! I'm afraid I won't like or feel anything It's possible: maybe anal pleasure, in the end, won't be your thing! Still, if you really want to try it, going to meet him is a good thing. You will build your experience and, little by little, develop a taste for coming back... or not at all. Our advice By choosing to progress in stages, you give yourself the freedom to discover your sensations gently. Know that anal pleasure can lead to orgasm, especially when other erogenous zones are stimulated (vagina, clitoris, prostate, etc.). For example, a testicle massage for men, or stimulation of the vulva for women, are practices that accentuate pleasure and then allow the anal area to free itself. All this to say that anal pleasure is often easier to approach when it is involved in a whole, that is to say, pleasures that we already master!! This way of doing things will help you tame it and refine your sensations towards it! Obviously, if after a few attempts - always with consent - you do not feel anything convincing, you have the right to turn the page on anal pleasure! There are a thousand and one ways to enjoy, a thousand and one ways to shape your sex life, a thousand and one ways to love and experience orgasms. Find yours, that's what we want!

What is pansexuality?

Does pansexuality ring a bell? While this orientation is increasingly visible, it remains poorly understood. Attraction to men, women, but also to all gender identities... It's much more than just a question of sex ! We explain everything about this fluid and inspiring sexuality, clarifying the terms that define it.Bottom of the form Pansexuality: what are we talking about? What exactly is pansexuality? Here's a clear definition: it's a sexual orientation that is characterized by attraction to a person, regardless of their gender or sex . The prefix "pan" means "all," and that's exactly the idea: a pansexual person doesn't limit their relationships to men and women. They can also be attracted to non-binary or transgender people . It could be a form of fluid attraction, which emphasizes personality and emotions, rather than physical criteria. In short, what appeals is the person, in all their singularity. No, pansexuality is not a fad Some stars like Miley Cyrus, Janelle Monáe or Cara Delevingne identify as pansexual. They contribute to making this orientation more visible, while raising awareness among everyone. Miley Cyrus speaks of having total freedom to choose her relationships without being limited by gender, while singer and actress Janelle Monáe explains that she is attracted to all people, regardless of their gender identity. This is telling, and even essential, when we see how much pansexual people sometimes face prejudice or confusion. We don't always understand their orientation. Some poorly informed individuals think that pansexuality is just a passing "fad", especially when stars take it on! This kind of ignorance can be a source of suffering for those who are simply trying to be themselves in society. The term "pansexual", like other terms relating to other sexual orientations, is not there to make it look pretty, but to tell the story of love according to some people, while expressing a reality different from the traditional binarity. By adopting respectful and inclusive language, we contribute to normalizing this diversity in society. Pink, yellow, blue: the flag of pansexuality is worth a thousand words The term “pansexual” was shaped by queer movements and the fight to have all sexual orientations and gender identities recognized. The pansexuality flag was then created in 2013. Look up at the pride march: it will be among the LGBTQ flags (lesbian, transgender, asexual, bisexual, genderfluid flags ...), and in particular the famous rainbow flag (LGBT). This day of celebration is a highlight where the pansexuality flag is proudly displayed, with its three colors that are impossible not to remember because they make sense: pink, yellow and blue. Pink represents attraction to women, blue to men, and yellow, placed between the two to break the patterns, symbolizes non-binary and gender diverse people. In other words: openness, the "everything", the freedom to be, to love and to lead the intimate life of one's choice ! This flag is synonymous with openness, diversity, and supports the concept of "pride" within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex (LGBTQI) community, in France as elsewhere in the world. Pansexuality and bisexuality: beware of confusion! Pansexuality and bisexuality are often confused, but these orientations don't really tell the same story. Bisexuality is attraction to two genders—you're attracted to a man or a woman, indifferently. But a bisexual individual can also be attracted to non-binary individuals, it's not out of the question. Hence the easy confusion with pansexuality and the frequent mishmash between the terms. The real difference? Bisexuality still recognizes, to a certain extent, the gender binary, even if it can be expanded to other genders. On the other hand, pansexuality completely transcends this binary . It goes further, it does not care about genders. It only talks about attraction to the person, period. Pansexuality therefore places itself beyond the concept of gender. But be careful, everyone experiences their sexuality in their own way, and for some, making a distinction and making a real difference between these two orientations is not so important. It is up to each person to recognize themselves where they feel comfortable. How does a pansexual relationship work? Just like everyone else! In romantic relationships, a pansexual person falls in love with someone regardless of their gender. The dynamics in a pansexual couple are the same as in any other romantic relationship: it is emotions and compatibility that shape the bond and love life. We must fight the preconceived idea that attraction to several genders can complicate things. In reality, it is the sincerity of the feelings and the authenticity of the relationship that matter. And in general, it does not complicate anything at all, quite the contrary. Non-binary sexuality, a wind of freedom towards the future In essence, pansexuality is therefore non-binary. It challenges traditional gender classifications. With it, thanks to it, gender becomes secondary in relationships, or even not important at all. What matters is the person and what we feel for them ! Thus, in a pansexual couple, the important thing is authentic connection and love. With changing mindsets and increasing recognition of fluid gender identities, pansexuality plays an important role in deconstructing stereotypes . It celebrates the idea that love does not need to fit into boxes, and has no interest in doing so. It is an openness that allows one to love freely, without being confined by notions of gender. Many pansexual people say that this orientation allows them to experience their relationships with more freedom and fluidity. It is a love that is not limited to labels , but that promotes sincere, spontaneous connections. It changes the game! Love takes back its rights, and, at Goliate, that is exactly what we defend. Since 2016, Goliate has been thinking and designing products that accompany you in your sexuality and participate in the discovery of all your pleasures, without labels and with perfect freedom. From organic intimate lubricant to orgasmic gel for the clitoris and aphrodisiac massage oil , there is something for everyone!

Naturism VS Nudism: Discover Their Differences and Embrace Freedom!

Have you ever thought about letting go of the constraints of clothing to embrace total freedom? Whether it's to connect with nature or simply for the pleasure of feeling the fresh air on your skin, the worlds of naturism and nudism offer a beautiful range of experiences. Let's dive into these two worlds together to see what they have to offer us, understand their differences, and why not, give you some advice for getting started! Naturism vs Nudism: a quick little lesson. So, naturism or nudism? Although often used interchangeably, these terms hide some pretty cool nuances: Naturism is a philosophy that goes beyond mere nudity. It is a way of life that advocates a return to nature, respect for the environment and a healthy way of living. Naturists see nudity as a way to strengthen their connection with nature and live in harmony, without judgment. Nudism is a little more relaxed. It's the idea of ​​shedding your clothes for comfort and personal freedom, without necessarily adhering to a set of principles. Nudists like the feeling of freedom that comes with not wearing anything, and often, it's just for the comfort it brings. Where is all this happening? These practices flourish especially in Europe – think of the vast naturist beaches of France or the camps in Germany. But they are gaining ground all over the world, including in the United States where specialized beaches and resorts are springing up like mushrooms. Why try? Daily benefits Naturism and nudism aren't just good for looking pretty in travel magazines; they have real benefits: Emotional release : Getting rid of your clothes can also mean getting rid of some complexes and social pressures. It's liberating! Connecting with nature : Nothing beats the feeling of the sun or breeze all over your body. A little boost of vitamin D : safely, of course, with sunscreen! First steps: how to get started? If you are tempted to dive into this universe, here are some tips: Check the law : Make sure your nude escapades are legal in your area. Start small : Test the water at home before venturing out. This is often the best start. Consent and respect : whether at home or in a dedicated place, these two words are your best friends. Let's talk little, let's talk well: the sexual dimension It is crucial to note that neither naturism nor nudism are inherently linked to sexuality. These practices value a non-sexualized experience of nudity. Explicit sexual behavior is not welcome in these spaces, which instead aim to promote a respectful and serene environment. Nudism and the gay community: beaches and freedom Nudism has a particular flavor within the gay community, where it can sometimes rhyme with cruising . For those who are not familiar, cruising is this somewhat old-fashioned practice of looking for partners, often spontaneously and in places open to this. Some beaches or nudist spots are known to be hotspots where the freedom to get naked is coupled with the freedom to meet people. It is important to emphasize, however, that all this must always be done in compliance with local laws and, above all, with the consent of all participants. Nudism in libertine places And then there are the slightly more naughty places, where nudism mixes with libertinism. Yes, some nudist beaches and campsites are also places where adults can explore practices like swinging in complete freedom, but always in a respectful setting. These kinds of places attract those who seek to experience their nudity in a slightly more... adventurous way, let's say! A legendary place? The Bay of Pigs in Cap d'Agde! Libertinism and swinging: joyful explorations Let's talk a little about libertinism and swinging. These practices, where we share intimate moments with other consenting adults, are not limited to nudist spaces, but share with nudism a certain philosophy of freedom. Libertine clubs, for example, are safe spaces where you can explore your desires discreetly and respectfully. Libertines often seek to spice up their lives, to explore new dimensions of pleasure, alone or as a couple, but always in a spirit of play and mutual respect. It's a bit like a great adventure where everyone remains in control of their choices. Leisure and communities: a world tour Naturist and nudist communities aren't just groups of people who enjoy being naked. They're individuals who share activities like hiking, yoga, and more, strengthening bonds and enjoying life in the natural world. These activities and communities show that nudity can be part of a happy and healthy lifestyle. So what? Whether you are intrigued by the philosophy of naturism or simply the comfort of nudism, there is so much to be gained by giving these practices a chance. They offer a new way of seeing the world and yourself, free from the usual constraints. Why not give it a try? After all, you might discover freedom you never imagined. So, are you ready to try the adventure? You can start with our selection of sex toys and other aphrodisiac massage oils or organic lubricating gels dedicated to your pleasure ;)

The Spoon Position: A Cozy Nest for Lovemaking

The spooning position is a classic for good times. It's ideal for those looking to combine intimacy and comfort, without sacrificing pleasure. In this article, we'll dive into the intricacies of this beloved position and explore why it lends itself to both tenderness and passion. How to do the spoon position? Adopting the spooning position is simple and gentle, ideal for couples of all ages and flexibilities: Setup : Lie on your side, spooning, with your partner. The one who is going to be penetrated places himself in front, while the other nestles behind, like two puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly. Alignment : The partner in the back embraces the one in front, wrapping their upper arm around the waist for a full hug. Legs bend slightly, and bodies come together to allow for gentle, deep penetration. Penetration : Gently, the partner at the back guides his penis or a sex toy, ensuring a smooth and pleasant entry. This position is not only comfortable but it also allows for beautiful intimacy, making every movement gentle and every breath shared. What are the benefits of the spoon position? The spoon isn't just comfortable; it's also incredibly beneficial: Increased intimacy : You're so close that every breath is synchronized. This is ideal for those looking to strengthen their emotional connection while sharing a moment of pleasure. Control and comfort : Each partner has the freedom to control the depth and pace, which is perfect for a personalized and comfortable experience. It is also ideal for those who want to better control or even delay their ejaculation to last longer. Versatility : whether for a gentle awakening or a passionate night, the spoon adapts to the desired atmosphere and rhythm. The Spoon Position: A Gentle Choice for Seniors and People with Disabilities Much like the Lap Dance position, the spooning position, with its gentle, protective embrace, is wonderfully suited for seniors and people with disabilities. It offers a tender, secure way to share intimacy without the physical constraints that other positions might impose. Comfort and ease : For those with joint pain or restricted movement, spooning is a gift. Lying on their sides, partners can move closer and gently adjust to find the most comfortable position, without having to support each other's weight or maintain awkward postures. It's a respectful and gentle way to continue exploring physical intimacy, even when the body isn't quite cooperating as it once was. Safety and accessibility : This position is also a boon for people with disabilities, as it allows for many adaptations. Whether it's adding cushions for extra support or adjusting the angle of approach, spooning makes it possible to have an intimate connection while taking into account each person's specific needs. Some tips to improve the spooning experience To make spooning an even more delicious experience, try this: Use pillows : Placing a pillow under your stomach or between your knees can help align your body better and provide extra support. Vary the pleasures : alternate between slow and faster movements or add a little rotation to your hips to explore different sensations. Feel free to browse other Kamasutra positions , the possibilities are almost endless and you will certainly find a position that suits your desires. The spoon position is ideal for anal sex First of all, know that the anus does not lubricate naturally. It is therefore imperative to use an organic natural lubricant or an organic anal relaxant to promote relaxation of the area, without anesthetizing it in order to feel all the sensations. The spooning position is therefore also extremely well suited for gentle anal pleasure , even for those gentlemen open to exploring prostate pleasure or pegging . Its great advantage is the control it offers to both partners, especially the one receiving. This mastery is crucial when it comes to anal comfort and pleasure: Gentle Angle : The spooning angle of penetration is naturally oblique, allowing for a gentler, less direct entry, ideal for anal sex beginners or those who prefer gentler sensations. Ease of control : The person in front can easily control the depth and speed of penetration by pressing against their partner or pulling away slightly. Enhanced Intimacy : Anal sex can be a very intimate experience and the spooning position enhances this intimacy, allowing partners to feel close and secure. This position not only allows for careful control but also creates a reassuring environment, where partners can explore anal pleasure at their own pace. To go further, you will find in this article all the information to properly prepare for sodomy. The spoon, a gateway to slow sex The spoon position is perfect for "slow sex", or vanilla sex , a practice that favors the quality of intimacy over the quantity of movements. Slow sex in the spoon allows you to savor every touch, every breath and every movement, intensifying the sensory and emotional experience. It is a wonderful way to reconnect with your partner, slow down the pace of modern life and focus fully on the present moment. What is the score on the Goliate orgasmometer? On the Goliate pleasure scale, spooning gets a solid 4.5 out of 5. This high rating is due to the unique combination of comfort and closeness it offers, allowing partners to stay connected, relaxed, and engaged. It’s a position that invites relaxation but can also be exciting and deep depending on the movements and intensity used. It’s particularly appreciated for its ability to prolong the act and provide moments of sustained pleasure, for all. Spooning is more than just a Kamasutra pose; it’s an invitation to share moments of tenderness and deep connection . Whether you’re looking to add some sweetness to your routine or explore the pleasures of slow sex or anal, spooning offers a closeness and comfort that makes it a timeless favorite. Embrace its simplicity and let the magic happen. Fun historical fact about spoon position The spooning position is considered one of the oldest sexual positions, widely depicted in ancient art and texts around the world. Its natural, protective shape was likely essential for couples in ancient societies where shared warmth and security during sleep were crucial for survival, especially in cold regions. Depictions of couples in the spooning position have been discovered in ancient frescoes and sculptures around the world, from Europe to Asia, attesting to its universal role in expressing human intimacy. For example, some Egyptian artifacts depict couples in poses that resemble the spooning position, suggesting that the practice may be as old as civilizations themselves. The spooning position is therefore not simply a "method" for sexual intimacy; it is also a symbol of protection, warmth and emotional closeness that transcends cultures and eras.

The Art of Deep Throat: Techniques and Pleasures of a Very Intimate Experience

In the arsenal of sexual techniques, deep throating is often seen as one of the most daring and intimately connected acts . Often glorified in the media for its intensity and depth of sensation, deep throating is not only a feat of performance, but a form of intimate expression that can strengthen the bond between couples. If you are curious about how to master this technique and want to explore both its physical and emotional dimensions, here is a complete guide for you. What are the origins of deep throat? The practice of deepthroating, while often considered a modern phenomenon, has roots that go back into history. The term became widely known in the 1970s with the release of the adult film "Deep Throat" , which not only popularized the term but also placed it firmly in the public domain. However, practices similar to deepthroating can be traced back well before that time, in various cultures around the world. In ancient times, some references to acts similar to deepthroating can be found in the erotic art and literature of civilizations such as ancient India and Japan . For example, some ancient Hindu texts and Japanese Shunga artwork explicitly depict deep oral acts, indicating familiarity with this form of sexual pleasure. The historical context of deep throating is therefore complex and multifaceted. The practice, in its various forms, has been both tolerated and taboo, often shrouded in secrecy due to its intimate nature and sometimes judged. In contemporary societies, it has gained visibility and, at times, acceptability , thanks in part to greater understanding and more open communication around sexual practices. Today, deep throating is recognized not only as an act of intense pleasure but also as an expression of trust and intimacy between consenting partners. Why practice deep throat? Intensity of Connection : Deep throating can be an incredibly intimate experience and an act of trust, strengthening the emotional bond between partners. Intense stimulation : For the giver, the sensation of being completely engulfed can be extremely erotic and gratifying. Boundary Exploration : This allows partners to explore their boundaries and increase their comfort with deeper, more expressive sexual practices. How to do deep throat? Deepthroat is a fellatio technique where the penis is taken deep into the partner's throat, bypassing the usual gag reflex. Here's how you can approach it with care and confidence: Preparation : The key is relaxation and preparation. Make sure both the receiver and the giver are relaxed and comfortable with the idea. Communication is key to making sure both partners feel safe and respected. Position : Begin in a position that minimizes strain on the neck and throat. The recipient can lie on their back with their head slightly back at the edge of the bed, while the giver stands or kneels, in line with the recipient's neck. Technique : The giver should move slowly, allowing the receiver to adjust as they go. Using plenty of saliva or possibly a natural and especially organic water-based lubricant can help facilitate movement and minimize discomfort. Control of the gag reflex : the recipient can try to breathe deeply and focus on relaxing. Techniques such as squeezing the fist or using specific anesthetic sprays (always with caution and moderation, we do not recommend this type of product) can also help control the gag reflex. Advanced techniques and tips for successful deep throat! For those looking to perfect deep throat technique, there are several tips that can help improve the experience for both the giver and the receiver: Positioning : Experimenting with different positions can reduce pressure on the neck and make breathing easier. For example, lying on the side may be less intimidating for the donor. Breathing : Learning to control your breathing is crucial. Taking a deep breath before you begin and learning to breathe through your nose can help manage the gag reflex and aid in letting go. Communication : Using nonverbal cues or simple words to communicate during sex can increase safety and comfort, allowing the receiver to know when to slow down or stop. In any case, make sure to create an atmosphere conducive to trust and letting go before practicing deep throat. It is essential that both partners are excited and relaxed. We recommend that you start your relationship with a more sensual approach, conducive to arousal, for example by providing a successful erotic massage to your partner with an aphrodisiac oil intended for this purpose, or by having fun stimulating the anatomy thanks to intimate cosmetics intended for this purpose such as our edible and 100% organic intimate lubricating cream , ideal for starting deep throat! Psychological considerations Deepthroating is not just a physical act; it also has important psychological dimensions. For some, it can be an expression of trust and devotion and submission , while for others, it can evoke feelings of vulnerability or anxiety: Trust and Power Dynamics : This practice can intensify power dynamics in a relationship, requiring mutual trust and respect to maintain a healthy experience. Emotional impact : Discussing emotions and reactions after the act can help strengthen the relationship and ensure that sexual practices contribute positively to the bond between partners. Deep Throat in BDSM Context: Exploring Domination and Submission Deep throat can play a significant role in BDSM dynamics, where power play and domination are central elements. It can be part of those so-called "kink sex" practices that we don't always dare to explore. In this context, it can be seen not only as a sexual technique, but also as a form of expression of dominance and submission, adding a layer of psychological complexity to the act. Some people, for example , need to dominate their partner in order to achieve orgasm . Expression of domination? In BDSM relationships, deep throating can be used by the dominant as a way to assert control. The practice can symbolize the submissive partner's complete submission, agreeing to give up control of their body, including their ability to breathe, to their dominant partner. This can intensify the feeling of power for the dominant and vulnerability for the submissive, reinforcing the roles established in their power play. Deep throating is often accompanied by dirty talk and an environment conducive to more uninhibited sex. Consent and safety are essential. It is crucial that this practice is always based on mutual consent and trust. Partners should discuss their boundaries and safety signals in detail before engaging in acts involving such intensity. The use of nonverbal signals or safe words is essential, especially in situations where the ability to speak may be limited. This ensures that all actions remain within the framework of consensual and safe boundaries. Towards a strengthening of the relationship thanks to deep throat? When practiced with respect for boundaries and consent, deepthroating can strengthen the bonds between BDSM partners. It can help establish a deeper connection, where the submissive feels safe to explore their limits, while the dominant is careful to respect and listen carefully to their partner's reactions. This practice can therefore become a powerful expression of mutual trust and dedication in the relationship. Safety and hygiene Deep throating, like any sexual activity, requires careful attention to safety and hygiene: Oral Health : Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial to avoid infections and other health problems. Use of protection : In some cases, the use of condoms can reduce the risk of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. Listening to your body : It is important to recognize your body's limits and avoid practices that cause pain or discomfort. What are the social perceptions of deep throat practice? The perception of deep throat has evolved over the decades, influenced by cultural and social factors that have changed its acceptance and practice: Media and pornography : The depiction of deep throat in pornography has played a significant role in its popularization but also in the creation of sometimes unrealistic standards. Open Discussions : With society becoming more open to discussing sexuality, taboos around practices like deep throating are beginning to fade, allowing for more free and informed exploration. The Limits and Difficulties of Deep Throat Physical challenge : Deep throating can be physically demanding and uncomfortable, especially at first. It is crucial to progress slowly and respect each person's limits. Managing the Gag Reflex : Overcoming the gag reflex is a major challenge in deep throating. It can take time and practice to get used to it. Potential risks : As with any intense sexual practice, there is a risk of pain, nausea, or even vomiting. It is important to always practice safely and with consent. Goliate Orgasm Meter On our Goliate Orgasm Meter scale, deep throating can vary greatly between individuals, but it generally receives high marks for its intensity and the arousal it can cause, often rated at 4 out of 5. What can we conclude from this? Deepthroating is an advanced technique that requires trust, communication, and practice. It can open up new dimensions of pleasure and intimacy for couples willing to explore their limits together. As always, the importance of safety, consent , and comfort cannot be understated. If you decide to explore deepthroating, take your time to learn and adjust to each other's needs for a rewarding and satisfying experience. Dare to dive into this profound experience, and you may discover new levels of pleasure and intimacy in your relationship. Happy exploring!

What exactly is a vasectomy?

Vasectomy: a definitive method of male contraception Vasectomy is a permanent male contraception method that is becoming increasingly popular around the world. This minor surgical procedure involves cutting or blocking the vas deferens to prevent sperm from mixing with ejaculatory fluid. Not to be confused withcircumcision , which has absolutely nothing to do with it. This article explores the medical and social aspects of vasectomy, its advantages and disadvantages, and compares vasectomy rates in different countries, with a particular focus on France. We will also discuss scientific studies on the effectiveness and long-term impacts of vasectomy. What is vasectomy? Vasectomy is a relatively simple and quick surgical procedure that aims to render a man sterile. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. There are two main vasectomy techniques: Conventional vasectomy : This method involves one or two small incisions in the scrotum to access the vas deferens, which are then cut and sealed. No-scalpel vasectomy : This less invasive technique uses a small puncture to access the vas deferens, reducing the risk of complications and recovery time. Why choose vasectomy? Benefits of Vasectomy Effectiveness : Vasectomy is one of the most effective contraceptive methods, with a success rate of over 99% in preventing pregnancy. Permanence : Unlike other contraceptive methods, vasectomy offers a permanent solution, eliminating the need for temporary contraceptives. Be careful, vasectomy, unlike condoms , does not protect against STIs! Safety : The procedure is safe and carries little risk of serious complications. Recovery is rapid, with most men returning to normal activities within a few days. Sexual freedom : After a vasectomy, men can have sex without fear of unwanted pregnancy, which can improve sexual satisfaction . Disadvantages of Vasectomy Permanence : While permanence is an advantage for many, it can also be a disadvantage for those who may change their minds about fatherhood in the future. Vasectomy should be considered irreversible, although reversal procedures do exist. Potential complications : Like any surgical procedure, vasectomy carries risks, although rare, such as infections, bruising and chronic pain. Psychology and stigma : Some men may experience feelings of regret or diminished masculinity after the procedure. However, this is not normally related to possible sexual dysfunction . It is important to consider the psychological and social implications before making a decision. Vasectomy around the world UNITED STATES In the United States, vasectomy is a relatively common method of contraception. Approximately 500,000 vasectomies are performed each year. The popularity of this method varies across socioeconomic and ethnic groups, but it is generally well accepted and supported by family planning programs. Canada Canada has one of the highest vasectomy rates in the world. About 20% of Canadian men have had a vasectomy, a figure that reflects the high acceptance of the method in the country. Awareness campaigns and easy access to quality health care contribute to this popularity. Europe In Europe, vasectomy rates vary considerably. In the Netherlands, about 17% of men have undergone the procedure, while in France the rate is much lower, with about 1% of men opting for this method of contraception. The low popularity in France can be attributed to cultural factors and a preference for other contraceptive methods. Vasectomy in France In France, vasectomy has long been less popular than in other Western countries. However, attitudes are beginning to change thanks to better education and a growing acceptance of shared contraceptive responsibilities between partners. In recent years, we have also noted a greater desire on the part of men to relieve women of the mental burden of taking the contraceptive pill and the hormonal imbalances that this can sometimes cause. Legislation and access Vasectomy was legalized in France in 2001. Since then, it has become increasingly accessible thanks to increased awareness among doctors and greater cultural acceptance. Men should usually consult a general practitioner or urologist to discuss the implications of the procedure and confirm their decision. Medical studies and opinions A study published in La Revue Médicale showed that vasectomy is well tolerated by French patients and that complications are rare. The same study highlights the importance of a detailed preoperative consultation to ensure that patients understand the implications of the procedure and are firmly committed. Effects of vasectomy on sexuality Vasectomy can have positive effects on the sexuality of men and their partners. The majority of studies indicate that vasectomy does not affect sexual function, sexual desire, or performance. Any changes in libido that you may experience are therefore unrelated. Sexual satisfaction A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that sexual satisfaction for men and their partners often increases after a vasectomy. Eliminating the anxiety of unwanted pregnancy allows couples to focus more on mutual pleasure, although this is obviously up to each individual. It is also often an opportunity to explore new sexual practices, such as vanilla sex or anal pleasure, which are too often overlooked when the prostate is the male pleasure organ. If you want to discover anal pleasure and your P for heightened orgasms, or even become a multi-orgasmic man , Goliate offers a natural anal lubricating gel and a natural anal relaxant , both certified organic , to approach this magnificent aspect of pleasure, gently. Erectile function and orgasm Vasectomy does not directly impact erectile function or the ability to achieve orgasm, whether you have a blood or flesh penis . Semen continues to be produced but is absorbed by the body, and ejaculation remains unchanged, except for the absence of sperm in the seminal fluid. Comparison with other methods of contraception Vasectomy is distinguished from other contraceptive methods by its permanent nature and high effectiveness. Here are some comparisons with other methods: Female contraception Birth control pill : Although very effective, the pill requires daily intake and can have hormonal side effects. Vasectomy, on the other hand, is a one-time solution without hormonal effects from men. Tubal sterilization : This surgical procedure for women is also permanent and effective, but it is more invasive than vasectomy and carries a higher risk of complications. Temporary contraception Condoms : Although condoms are effective in preventing pregnancy and STIs , they are less reliable than vasectomy in terms of preventing pregnancy (85% to 98% effective) and require correct use with every act of intercourse. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) : IUDs are very effective and can last for several years, but they require insertion and medical monitoring, and some users may experience side effects.  What can we conclude from this? Vasectomy is a permanent male contraceptive method that offers high effectiveness and relative safety. It allows men to share contraceptive responsibility and can improve sexual satisfaction by eliminating anxiety about unwanted pregnancies. However, it must be considered carefully because of its irreversible nature and potential psychological implications. In France, although vasectomy is less common than in other countries, it is gaining popularity due to better education and increasing acceptance. The decision to have a vasectomy should be made after a thorough discussion with a healthcare professional to ensure that all options and implications are well understood.

Everything you need to know about circumcision

Circumcision, the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis, is an ancient practice performed for cultural, religious, and medical reasons . This article explores the origins of circumcision, the reasons why it is performed in different countries, and the arguments for and against the procedure. We will also focus on the practice of circumcision in France, examining current studies and medical opinions. History and origins of circumcision Circumcision is one of the oldest surgical procedures, having been practiced for thousands of years. It has its origins in the religious and cultural traditions of certain societies. Religious circumcision - Judaism : In Jewish tradition, circumcision (Brit Milah) is a religious ceremony performed on male infants on the eighth day after birth. This practice is a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham. - Islam : Circumcision (Khitan) is also a common practice in Islam, although the timing of circumcision may vary. It is usually performed on boys before puberty and is considered a Sunnah (practice recommended by the Prophet). Cultural circumcision In some African and Australian cultures, circumcision is part of the rites of passage into adulthood. It is often performed during ceremonies that mark the transition from childhood to adulthood. Circumcision in the world UNITED STATES In the United States, circumcision is a common practice for medical and cultural reasons. Approximately 58% of newborn males are circumcised, although this figure varies by region and socioeconomic group. The practice was popularized in the early 20th century for reasons of hygiene and disease prevention. Sub-Saharan Africa In many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, circumcision is practiced for cultural and public health reasons. For example, in South Africa, circumcision is part of traditional Xhosa rituals and is also promoted as part of HIV/AIDS programmes. Studies have shown that circumcision reduces the risk of HIV infection in heterosexual men by 60%. Europe In Europe, circumcision is not as common as in the United States. In France, about 14% of men are circumcised, mainly for religious (Judaism and Islam) or medical reasons. Medical guidelines in France do not advocate routine circumcision, but it may be performed in cases of phimosis or other medical conditions. Benefits and risks of circumcision Arguments in favor of circumcision Reduced risk of infections : Circumcision reduces the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in infants and young boys. One study showed that circumcised boys have a 10 times lower risk of UTIs than uncircumcised boys. HIV and STI prevention : Circumcision can reduce the risk of HIV infection and some other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as human papillomavirus (HPV) and genital herpes. A meta-analysis published in *The Lancet* found that circumcision reduces the risk of HIV infection by 60% in heterosexual men. Another study published in the *New England Journal of Medicine* showed that circumcision reduces the risk of HPV infection and genital herpes. Hygiene : Circumcision facilitates personal hygiene by making cleaning the penis easier and reducing the buildup of smegma, a substance that can promote bacterial infections. Arguments against circumcision Surgical risks : Like any surgical procedure, circumcision carries risks, including infections, bleeding, and surgical complications. Serious complications are rare but possible. Pain and trauma : Circumcision can be painful, especially if performed without adequate anesthesia. Studies show that pain related to circumcision can have long-term effects on pain sensitivity and perception. Ethical issue : Some believe that circumcision on infants and children, who cannot give consent, is a violation of their bodily rights and physical integrity. Effects of circumcision on sexuality Circumcision may have effects on sexuality, although opinions and experiences vary widely. Sensations during penetration Some circumcised men report decreased sensitivity of the glans because the foreskin, which is rich in nerve endings, is removed. However, this decreased sensitivity can also prolong the duration of intercourse by delaying ejaculation. A study published in the *Journal of Sexual Medicine* found that circumcised and uncircumcised men report similar levels of sexual satisfaction, although the specific sensations may differ. For those who wish to accentuate their sensations, we recommend using an organic intimate lubricating gel or orgasmic gels dedicated to the penis. Guaranteed pleasure! And we can never say it enough: a relationship is not only linked to penetration! You can take a lot of pleasure in discovering each other's bodies, whether it's with natural creams to help you spice up your relationship with bodies , or with your hands. Approval for oral reports From a partner's perspective, some people find oral sex more enjoyable with a circumcised partner because of the increased feeling of smoothness and cleanliness. Others prefer the look and feel of the uncircumcised penis. Preferences are highly subjective and vary from person to person. Circumcision in France In France, circumcision is not a routine practice and is generally performed for religious or medical reasons. The recommendations of the High Authority of Health (HAS) do not encourage systematic circumcision. However, it may be indicated in cases of phimosis (narrowing of the foreskin) or other medical conditions that prevent the proper functioning of the penis. Medical studies and opinions in France A study in France found that circumcision may be beneficial in reducing recurrent urinary tract infections in young boys and in treating phimosis. However, the National Academy of Medicine emphasizes that the medical benefits of routine circumcision in newborns are limited and that the decision to circumcise should be made after an informed discussion between parents and the physician. International comparison of circumcision practices An international comparison shows that the prevalence of circumcision varies considerably across regions and cultures. In the United States, circumcision is common and often performed at birth for hygiene and disease prevention reasons. In Europe, circumcision rates are much lower and the procedure is usually reserved for medical cases or religious observances. In Africa, circumcision is often performed as part of public health programs aimed at reducing HIV transmission. What can we conclude? Circumcision is a complex practice with deep roots in religious, cultural, and medical traditions. Arguments in favor of circumcision include reduced risks of urinary tract infections, some STIs, and improved personal hygiene. However, surgical risks, pain, and ethical considerations must also be considered. In France, circumcision is not systematic and is generally reserved for specific medical cases or religious practices. The decision to perform circumcision should be made after an informed discussion between the parents and the doctor, taking into account the potential benefits and associated risks.

Hair and Intimacy: Exploring the Perception of Hair in Sexuality

The issue of body hair, especially in the intimate area, has sparked much debate and evolution over time . Shaving and hair removal styles have influenced the perception of body hair in sexuality, and this perception continues to evolve today . We take you on an in-depth exploration of the origins of shaving and hair removal, their impact on the perception of body hair in sexuality, and the biological reasons why we have body hair. And as always, we will emphasize the importance of feeling good in your body, beyond the expectations of society or your partner. The History of Shaving and Hair Removal Methods Antiquity Hair removal is not a recent practice. The ancient Egyptians, for example, took care of their hygiene and appearance by removing all body hair, including those from intimate areas. This practice was associated with purity and aesthetics. Women used recipes based on sugar and wax to get rid of hair. The ancient Greeks and Romans also considered the hairless body an aesthetic ideal . Greek statues, often depicted without hair, attest to this preference. For the Romans, hair removal was a sign of high social class. Middle Ages During the Middle Ages, the perception of body hair changed. The hairy body was no longer viewed negatively, and hair removal became less common, partly due to the religious connotations and modesty values ​​of the time. Body hair was accepted as a natural part of the body . Renaissance and modern era With the Renaissance, interest in body aesthetics and nudity in art revived some hair removal practices, although not as widespread as in ancient times. It was not until the 20th century that shaving and removing pubic hair really took off, particularly in the 1960s and 1970s, influenced by sexual liberation movements and the fashion industry. Impact of modern fashions on the perception of hair 20th century During the 20th century, the media and the fashion industry played a crucial role in promoting the hairless body as a standard of beauty. Advertisements, films, and magazines often featured hairless female bodies, creating social pressure for women (and to a lesser extent, men) to adopt hair removal practices. 21st Century Today, hair removal practices vary widely based on personal and cultural preferences. The rise of body positivity and self-acceptance movements has encouraged many people to embrace their natural appearance, including their body hair. Celebrities and influencers are advocating for body hair acceptance, contributing to a diversification of beauty standards. But then why do we have hair? Function of body hair Body hair, including pubic hair, has several important biological functions: 1. Protection : Hair protects the skin from external elements, such as UV rays, minor injuries and irritations. 2. Temperature Regulation : Hair helps regulate body temperature by providing thermal insulation. 3. Reduced friction : Pubic hair reduces friction during sexual activity and other physical movements, protecting sensitive skin. For those who suffer from discomfort, we recommend using a soothing balm dedicated to intimacy such as our 100% organic calendula-based vulva care balm for an immediate moisturizing and soothing effect. 4. Pheromones : Hair can hold pheromones, chemicals that play a role in sexual attraction, beyond the erogenous zones on which it may be located. Scientific studies on hair removal Several scientific studies have examined the health effects of hair removal. For example, a study published in the *Journal of the American Medical Association* found that frequent hair removal can increase the risk of skin infections, such as bacterial infections and ingrown hairs. Other research has indicated that hair removal can cause irritation and microtrauma to the skin , especially in sensitive areas like the genitals. Consider using your intimate area to feel good at all times. Men's and women's hair preferences A 2019 poll by research firm YouGov revealed some interesting preferences when it comes to intimate hair. According to the poll, about 46% of men prefer their female partners to be completely waxed or shaved, while 30% prefer partial hair removal and 24% have no specific preference or prefer a natural look. On the women’s side, 56% prefer their male partners to be at least partially waxed or shaved, while 44% prefer a natural look or have no specific preference. These results show that preferences vary widely and that acceptance of body hair is increasing, especially since the lockdown. According to the survey carried out among the Goliate Instagram community , 56% of you prefer natural (with hair!) compared to 44% for shaving/hair removal. So there’s something for everyone! Feeling good in your body: the importance of personal choice It is important to emphasize that the choice to shave or wax should be personal and based on what makes you feel good about your body . Conforming to societal standards of beauty or seeking to please a partner should not dictate your choices when it comes to body hair. Listen to your body Listening to your body and responding to its needs is crucial to your overall well-being. If hair removal causes frequent irritation or infections, it may be best to rethink the practice. Conversely, if you find that hair removal makes you feel more comfortable or confident, that may be a valid reason to continue. Communication with the partner Open communication with your partner about your preferences and expectations can strengthen your relationship and mutual trust . Clearly expressing your desires and listening to your partner's can help find a compromise that satisfies both parties without sacrificing personal comfort. Alternative practices for intimacy and sexuality Sex toys and intimate gels Sex toys and intimate gels can enrich sex life by adding new dimensions to pleasure and exploration. Sex toys, such as vibrators , dildos and clitoral or prostate stimulators , can offer varied and intensified sensations, while intimate gels and lubricants can improve comfort and pleasure during sex. 1. Organic Lubricants : Lubricants made with natural and organic ingredients can be gentler on the skin and reduce the risk of irritation. They are often recommended for people with sensitive skin and for anyone who wants to increase sensations during intercourse for more sensuality. 2. Massage Oils : Massage oils can transform foreplay into a sensual and relaxing experience, promoting a better emotional and physical connection. Sexuality beyond penetration It is important to remember that sexuality is not limited to penetration. Caresses, kisses, massages and other forms of stimulation can be just as, if not more, satisfying. Foreplay (which, let's remember, is an integral part of sexual intercourse) plays a crucial role in sexual arousal and pleasure, allowing for a deeper emotional and physical connection. You can use erotic creams to discover new aspects of your sexuality and eroticize your relationships. What conclusions can we draw from this? The perception of body hair, especially in the intimate area, has evolved over time under the influence of fashion, cultural norms, and the media. Today, it is essential to remember that the choice to shave or remove hair should be personal and based on what makes you feel good about your body. Hair has important biological functions, and its presence or absence should not dictate your self-esteem. Ultimately, the key is to feel comfortable and confident in your own body. Whether you choose to keep your body hair or remove it, the important thing is to respect your own preferences and communicate openly with your partner. Sex toys, intimate gels, and a variety of sexual practices can enrich your sex life and promote a better understanding and appreciation of your body. Also, don't hesitate totake care of your intimate areas with gels and cosmetics adapted to your intimate areas. To learn more about this topic, consult reliable sources and scientific studies, and don't hesitate to talk to health professionals to get personalized advice. You also have access to a free first appointment with a sexologist via our pleasure guide.

Understanding the Refractory Period: A Complete Overview

The refractory period is a natural phenomenon that occurs after orgasm, during which it is temporarily impossible to achieve further arousal or another orgasm . Although this phase is often associated with men, it also affects women, although in a different way. In this article, we will explore in detail what the refractory period is, the differences between the sexes, how to reduce it and how to optimize the sexual experience by incorporating sex toys, intimate gels and other practices. What is the refractory period? The refractory period is the time it takes after orgasm for an individual to respond to sexual stimulation again. This phase is due to physiological and neurological changes in the body that vary from person to person. The refractory period in men In people with penises, the refractory period is generally more pronounced. After ejaculation, the body enters a recovery phase where it is biologically unable to respond to further sexual stimulation. This period can last from a few minutes to several hours, or even longer with age . So it has nothing to do with sexual dysfunction. Hormones such as prolactin play a crucial role in this process, contributing to the feeling of sexual satiety. The refractory period in women People with vulvas, on the other hand, have a less defined refractory period. Some women can achieve multiple orgasms with little or no refractory period between them, while others may need a few minutes of rest . Hormonal, psychological, and physical factors influence women's ability to become aroused again after an orgasm. Be aware that there are also techniques to increase female orgasm tenfold . Factors influencing the refractory period Several factors can influence the length and intensity of the refractory period, including age, physical health, hormonal levels, and emotional state. There is no general rule, so don't panic, that's just nature. Age Age plays a significant role in the length of the refractory period. Younger men and women tend to have shorter refractory periods than older people. In men, this is usually particularly noticeable with an increase in the length of the refractory period after midlife . Physical health General physical condition, including cardiovascular fitness levels and hormonal health, also influences the refractory period. A healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular physical activity, can help reduce the length of this phase. As usual, avoid smoking, junk food or alcohol, and focus on a healthy lifestyle as much as possible. Emotional state Stress, anxiety and other emotional factors can prolong the refractory period. A relaxed environment and good communication with your partner can help reduce these impacts. Communication within a couple is often the key to maintaining desire and helping to better control your emotions. This is also the case for female ejaculation which will depend on many factors. How to reduce the refractory period? Reducing the refractory period can improve the sexual experience for some individuals, although again, be careful not to seek performance . Here are some strategies that can help, but remember that in sexuality, performance is not the name of the game. Regular exercise Exercise improves blood circulation, increases energy levels, and promotes overall well-being, which can help reduce the length of the refractory period. Activities such as jogging, swimming, and yoga can improve cardiovascular and hormonal health. Balanced diet A diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals can help maintain healthy hormone balance and sexual health. Foods rich in zinc and omega-3 fatty acids, such as seafood, nuts, and seeds, may be particularly beneficial. Relaxation techniques Yoga, meditation, and other relaxation techniques can reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a shorter refractory period. Mindfulness, which involves focusing on the present moment, can also improve sexual experience. As you will have understood, when it comes to sexuality there is no miracle recipe , it is all a question of harmony and nuance. Extending the pleasure: techniques and tools For some, making sex last longer is a priority, so here are some tips to help you achieve this: Using sex toys Sex toys can add a new dimension to pleasure and help prolong sexual arousal. Cock rings, for example, can help maintain an erection for longer, while clitoral stimulators can provide a variety of pleasures for people with vulvas without necessarily leading to penetration. Remote-controlled sex toys are also a great alternative for having fun together. Vibrators, dildos and prostate stimulators can also enrich the sexual experience by offering different and intense sensations and the discovery of other pleasures (and the prostate), especially in men. Intimate gels and lubricants Using intimate gels and organic natural lubricants can not only make sex more comfortable but also more exciting while reducing friction. Organic lubricants, in particular, are recommended for their natural and body-friendly composition. Choose a water-based lubricant so that it is compatible with your sex toys and condoms or our 2-in-1 "couple gourmand" cream with a unique texture and delicate hazelnut flavor that allows you to massage your partner's sex, lick it, and then use it directly as a lubricant . An ultra-effective way to get out of the routine and have fun together to vary the pleasures. Communication and exploration Open communication with your partner about desires and boundaries can help you find a rhythm and practices that increase mutual pleasure. Exploring different types of sexual stimulation and practices can also prolong the experience. For example, erotic massages, role playing... Don't hesitate to vary the positions. You will find lots of ideas on our Instagram page or our blog . Sexuality beyond penetration It is important to remember that sexuality is not just about penetration. Foreplay, caresses, kissing, oral stimulation, massages and other forms of stimulation can be just as, if not more, satisfying. On this subject, we invite you to explore circumclusion in order to discover a new approach to sexuality, beyond established norms. Sexuality is an eternal learning process, so educate yourself; for your partner, but especially for yourself! Please also note that for any purchase over €70 on the Goliate website, you will have direct access to our Pleasure Guide, a unique program of 18 video modules to learn how to give yourself pleasure. Importance of “foreplay” Although this term is no longer really relevant because foreplay is an integral part of sexual intercourse , it plays a crucial role in sexual arousal and pleasure. It helps create an emotional and physical connection, thus increasing the pleasure felt during sex. Using massage oils Massage oils can transform a simple touch into a sensual and intimate experience. They promote relaxation, increase intimacy and can even reduce the refractory period by prolonging the arousal phase . This is a very interesting approach to get out of the stereotypes of phallo-centric relationships. Essential oils, such as lavender or ylang-ylang present in our feminine pleasure gel dedicated to the clitoris or aphrodisiac massage oil can add a pleasant aromatic dimension. Conclusion Understanding the refractory period and its influences is essential to improving sexual experience and personal satisfaction. Whether you are looking to reduce this period or prolong the moments of pleasure, there are many strategies and tools to explore. Communication, the use of sex toys, intimate gels and the practice of relaxation techniques are all ways to enrich your sex life. Finally, remember that sexuality is not limited to penetration; exploring bodies and discovering new forms of pleasure can be just as rewarding.

Everything you need to know about pearly crowns (or pearly papules) on the penis.

Pearly papules, also known as pearly crown, primarily affect men. Although this condition is harmless, it can cause some concern due to its appearance, often being confused with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as genital warts. In this article, we will explore in depth what pearl crown is, its causes, symptoms, and the key differences from more serious conditions. What is the pearl crown? Pearly corona of the penis appears as small, whitish or flesh-colored growths located around the glans. They are often arranged in one or more rows and can be easily seen during physical examination. These papules are noncancerous and do not cause pain or discomfort. Causes of pearly papules Pearly papules are a natural condition and are not caused by any infection or communicable disease. Their appearance is usually related to hormonal changes that occur during puberty. They are more common in uncircumcised men, probably due to the moist and warm conditions under the foreskin that favor their development. Symptoms and diagnosis Pearly papules are asymptomatic , meaning they do not cause pain, itching, or any other bothersome symptoms. The main "symptom" is their characteristic appearance around the glans. To diagnose this condition, a doctor will perform a visual physical exam. It is important to consult a healthcare professional to ensure that the growths are not genital warts or another more serious condition. If in doubt, the doctor may perform a biopsy, although this is rarely necessary. Pearly papules vs. condylomas It is crucial to distinguish pearly papules from warts, which are a form of STI caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Here are some key differences: Appearance : Condylomas can be of various shapes and sizes, often cauliflower-shaped, whereas pearly papules are uniform and round. Symptoms : Condylomas may cause itching, pain or bleeding, unlike pearly papules which are asymptomatic. Spread : Condylomas are contagious and are transmitted through sexual contact, whereas pearly papules are not transmissible. Treatment of pearly papules Since pearly papules are benign and pose no health risk, no treatment is necessary. However, some men may choose to have them removed for cosmetic or psychological reasons. Several treatment options are available: Cryotherapy : Use of liquid nitrogen to freeze and remove papules. CO2 Laser : An effective method that uses a laser to vaporize growths. Electrosurgery : Use of electrical currents to destroy papules. It is essential to discuss these options with a dermatologist or urologist to determine the most appropriate method. Why not worry? The main reason why pearly papules are not a cause for concern is that they are completely benign. They are neither cancerous nor linked to STIs. They do not cause any unpleasant symptoms and do not require any medical treatment unless the individual wishes to remove them for personal reasons. Self-confidence and education An often overlooked aspect of pearly papules is the psychological impact they can have. Many men may feel embarrassed or anxious about the appearance of their penis, fearing that there is something “wrong” with them. It is crucial to understand that this condition is normal and common. Educating teens and young adults about this condition can help reduce the stigma and anxiety associated with it. Open communication with sexual partners and healthcare professionals can also alleviate many concerns. Don't hesitate to discover your body with our intimate cosmetics or sex toys or to consult our pleasure guide offered from 70€ of purchase. These are more than 18 video modules that will explain to you in particular everything you need to know about female pleasure. And as always, we can't say it enough: remember to use organic lubricant for maximum sensation! Conclusion Pearly papules, although often a source of confusion and concern, are a benign and harmless condition. The key is to distinguish these growths from warts and other potentially serious conditions . If you have any doubts or concerns regarding your health, always consult a qualified healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and advice. By better understanding this condition and knowing when to see a doctor, you can approach pearl crown surgery with confidence and peace of mind.

Which clitoral vibrator is right for you?

The clitoral vibrator, often considered a discreet pleasure accessory, is much more than just a gadget. In fact, it represents a revolution in the field of sexual health and female well-being. Understanding how it works, its benefits, and how to choose the right one can transform the intimate experience of many women, offering them not only pleasure but also a better understanding of their bodies. Clitoral vibrators are designed to meet the varied needs of women, whether they are new to sex toys or looking for new and intense sensations. Each model has its own characteristics and specificities, making the choice sometimes difficult, but also exciting. In this article, we will explore in detail what a clitoral vibrator is, the different types available on the market, and how to choose the one that will suit you best. We will also cover the practical aspects of their use and maintenance, without forgetting to share user testimonials and expert opinions to guide you in your process. A clit vibrator: how does it work? A clitoral vibrator is a device designed specifically to stimulate the clitoris using vibrations or pulsations. This device, often compact and discreet, uses internal motors to create rapid movements that translate into pleasurable sensations when applied to the clitoral area. Models can vary in terms of power, vibration modes, and materials, offering a range of options to suit different needs and preferences. The clitoris, with its thousands of nerve endings, is extremely sensitive, making it an ideal area for using vibrations. A good clitoral vibrator can target this area precisely, providing direct and controlled stimulation that can be adjusted in intensity according to the user's desires. Some models even offer pulsation or hot/cold effect options to diversify the sensations. A bit of history about the vibrator Vibrators have a fascinating history that dates back to the late 19th century. They were originally used by doctors to treat what was then called “female hysteria.” These early models were bulky and crude, but over the decades, technology evolved, making these devices more compact, effective, and suitable for personal use. The 1960s and 1970s marked a turning point with the sexual revolution, when vibrators began to be marketed directly to women. This period saw the emergence of more ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing models , designed to be used in the privacy of the home. Today, clitoral vibrators are at the cutting edge of technology, incorporating high-quality materials such as medical silicone, and advanced features such as Bluetooth connectivity, allowing the device to be controlled via mobile applications. Today's Vibrators: More and More Innovation Technological evolution has significantly improved the user experience. Motors have become quieter and more powerful, allowing for more intense stimulation without compromising discretion. The materials used, such as medical silicone, are hypoallergenic and easy to clean, ensuring safe and hygienic use. Why use a clitoral vibrator? Clitoral vibrators offer more than just moments of pleasure, they are real tools of well-being, helping to improve sexual and general health. Using a clitoral vibrator allows you to better understand your body, explore your preferences and discover what gives you the most pleasure. Self-exploration through the clitoral vibrator can lead to better self-knowledge. This often results in an increase in self-confidence and improved communication with your partner. By better understanding your own body and its reactions, it becomes easier to share your desires and needs, thus enriching your sex life in a significant way. Clitoral vibrators can also help relieve some physical tension. For example, the vibrations can stimulate blood flow in the pelvic area, helping to relax muscles and reduce pain related to tension or stress. This physical relaxation is often accompanied by mental relaxation, contributing to an overall state of well-being. Clitoral vibrators: allies for mental well-being Using a clitoral vibrator is also beneficial for mental health. Orgasms release endorphins, the feel-good hormones that can help reduce stress and improve mood. After a stimulation session, many women feel a sense of relaxation and contentment, which can be especially beneficial after a stressful day. Rhythmic and controlled vibrations can also act as a form of meditation. By focusing on pleasant sensations and being present in the moment, users can find a moment of calm and mental respite. This can help reduce anxiety and promote a sense of inner peace. Achieve orgasms faster The main advantage of clitoral vibrators, however, remains the pleasure they provide. They allow you to reach orgasms faster and more intensely, especially for those who may have difficulty reaching orgasm through manual stimulation alone. The different types of clitoral stimulators External vibrators are among the most popular models for clitoral stimulation. Designed to be used directly on the clitoris and surrounding erogenous zones , these sex toys are often compact and easy to handle. Their design allows for targeted stimulation, providing intense and precise sensations. At Goliate, we offer several vibrators dedicated to clitoral pleasure : Liky the pebble-shaped sex toy : for discreet and gentle pleasure, Our Dalia Ultimate Geisha Balls : for internal and external use, Our Amazing clitoral stimulator : for intense pleasure that will take you to seventh heaven for sure, Our Rabbit My Pleasure Plus : for intense pleasure that stimulates your entire vulva with a heating effect that can be activated if you are curious! How do you know which clitoral vibrator is right for you?

In any case, the best thing is to start with something that appeals to you and seems accessible, then you can always move on to the next level if you feel like it! How to maintain your vibrator? Properly using and maintaining a clitoral vibrator is essential for an optimal and long-lasting experience. Before each use, clean it with warm water and a mild soap or our sex toy cleaner , then apply our natural water-based lubricant for an optimal experience. Start with the lowest vibration settings and gradually increase to find the position that works best for you. After use, clean the vibrator again and store it in a clean, dry place. Inspect the device regularly for signs of wear and recharge the battery to maintain its performance. Following these recommendations will ensure the longevity of your vibrator and ensure safe and hygienic use.

Blood penises will no longer hold any secrets for you

The blood penis is characterized by significant erections in terms of size and firmness, due to a substantial increase in blood flow . This natural phenomenon is an essential aspect of male sexual health and well-being. Although it is less known than its counterpart, the flesh penis, it is no less important for understanding the diversity of male physiology. This article aims to shed light on this little-discussed topic. We will explore in detail what a blood penis is, how it works, and what its implications are for sex life. You will also be explained how it differs from chaitr penises. You will also discover how this type of penis can influence partner pleasure and satisfaction. What is a blood penis? The blood penis is a type of penis that changes size significantly between the flaccid and erect states. Unlike the flesh penis, which maintains a relatively constant size, the blood penis experiences a significant increase in volume when blood flow increases during erection. This difference is due to the composition of the tissues and the way blood circulates and is stored in the corpora cavernosa of the penis. How does the blood penis work physiologically? When a man is aroused, the brain sends nerve signals that cause the blood vessels in the penis to dilate. For men with a blood penis, this dilation allows a massive influx of blood into the corpora cavernosa, causing the penis to go from a small size to a much larger and firmer size . This process is completely natural and is part of the normal mechanism of erection. The blood penis may seem small or average when flaccid, but it can double or even triple in size when erect. This may surprise some sexual partners, but it is a physiological, normal and healthy reaction. What makes up the penis blood? To better understand the blood penis, it is helpful to examine its anatomy. The penis is composed of two corpora cavernosa and a corpus spongiosum. The corpora cavernosa, located on the sides of the penis, are the main receptacles for blood during erection . In men with a blood penis, these corpora cavernosa are particularly extensible, which allows for greater accumulation of blood. The erection process begins with sexual stimulation, which can be physical or mental. This stimulation causes the release of nitric oxide into the erectile tissue, which causes smooth muscles to relax and blood vessels to dilate. Blood then flows into the corpora cavernosa, causing them to expand and the penis to become rigid. Differences Between Blood Penises and Flesh Penises The main difference between a blood penis and a flesh penis is the variation in size between the flaccid and erect states. A flesh penis remains relatively constant in size, whether flaccid or erect , due to less extensibility of the corpora cavernosa. This distinction does not relate to sexual functionality or the ability to give pleasure. Both types of penises are completely normal and can function effectively during sexual intercourse. However, understanding this difference can help to alleviate some concerns and promote greater acceptance of one's own body. Why do we have a blood or flesh penis? The prevalence of blood penis versus flesh penis may vary depending on genetic factors. Genetics plays a key role in determining the structure of body tissues, including those of the penis. Thus, penis type is often inherited genetically. Physical activity level, cardiovascular health, and lifestyle can also influence erectile function and overall penile health . A balanced diet rich in nutrients that benefit blood flow and a regular exercise routine can help maintain penile health, regardless of classification. Although precise studies on the distribution of penis types are limited, it is generally accepted that both types are widely present in the male population. There is no universal "norm", and each individual is unique in his or her physical constitution. Sexuality according to penis type The distinction between a blood penis and a flesh penis can influence perceptions and expectations of sexual performance. However, it is essential to remember that each type of penis is capable of providing pleasure and satisfaction, and anatomical differences do not determine the quality of sexual intercourse. Impact of penis type on sexual performance Men with a blood penis may find that the significant increase in size when erect can provide a different experience for their partners. Men with a flesh penis, on the other hand, who maintain a more consistent size, may notice a less noticeable change between flaccid and erect. This can reduce the need for extensive lubrication or prolonged warm-up. It is important to adapt to the particularities of your body and those of your partner to maximize pleasure. For men with a blood penis, the use of lubricants can be particularly beneficial to ensure optimal comfort, at Goliate, you can obviously test our natural lubricant will allow you better comfort in all your sexual relations.

All your questions about the G-spot

Welcome to a space where curiosity meets knowledge and where every discovery opens the door to unsuspected pleasures. Today, we invite you to explore with us one of the best-kept secrets of female pleasure: the G-spot. Long shrouded in mystery and the subject of much debate, this place of intense pleasure remains unknown to many. But do you really know the potential of this unique erogenous zone? In this article, we will decipher together the mysteries of the G-spot. You will discover not only where it is and how to stimulate it, but also why and how this small area can play an important role in your sexual fulfillment. Whether you are a novice in the field or looking for advanced techniques to increase your pleasure, this guide is designed to accompany you in each step of your exploration. Let’s lay the foundations: what is the G-spot? The G-spot, or Gräfenberg point, is an erogenous zone located inside the vagina, whose stimulation can lead to great intensity of pleasure and sometimes to orgasm. This small area, sensitive to pressure, is located a few centimeters inside the anterior wall of the vagina, just behind the pubic bone. The Quest for the G-Spot: Accessing More Pleasure Discovering the G-spot is not just an exploration of your anatomy; it is an invitation to get to know your body better through masturbation for example, and to explore your sexuality in a deep and satisfying way. Each experience is unique, and finding the G-spot can be a rewarding personal adventure. How to stimulate the G-spot perfectly? Step 1: Let’s start with our hands! Before we introduce tools like a vibrator, let's start small: Finding the G-spot with your fingers is a great moment to share, even if it's not as easy as it seems. Using your fingers to apply gentle but firm pressure can help identify this sensitive area. Finger movements up the pubic bone or in and out are often recommended for effective G-spot stimulation. STEP 2: Find G-Spot Vibrators Choosing a vibrator that is specifically designed for G-spot stimulation can transform your experience. These vibrators typically have a curve that makes it easier to reach and stimulate the G-spot. For optimal stimulation, it is advisable to start slowly to get used to the sensation and gradually increase the intensity. The angle of insertion and the pressure applied can greatly affect the level of pleasure felt. Of course, every body reacts differently! What works for one person may not work for another, so exploration and patience are crucial. How to make exploring the G-spot unforgettable? If you are exploring with a partner, communication is key. Express how you feel and adjust techniques accordingly. Relax: Being relaxed is fundamental to a pleasurable sexual experience. Take the time to get comfortable and relax to improve the sensitivity of your G-spot. Choosing the right time: The timing of G-spot stimulation can also influence the experience. During arousal, this area becomes more engorged and therefore more sensitive, making it the ideal time to begin stimulation. Create an unforgettable atmosphere: sex is also a matter of energy that we put into it! Put your partner at ease, create a soft and sensual atmosphere with slow sex as if you wanted to give him a sexy massage for hours and take care of the foreplay. There is more to life than penetration! Listen to your partner: Listening is of capital importance in a sexual relationship. Realizing the reactions of the other, what he likes or not, how he reacts… This is key to knowing how to give him more pleasure. How to choose the ideal vibrator for G-spot stimulation? The ideal vibrator for G-spot stimulation is distinguished by its curved shape, designed specifically to reach and stimulate this internal erogenous zone. This curvature allows the vibrator to press against the G-spot with the ideal amount of pressure, without excessive effort or discomfort. Choosing the right materials for your vibrators Choose a vibrator made from body-safe materials, such as medical-grade silicone, which is not only soft and pleasant to the touch but also hypoallergenic and easy to clean. Avoid cheap plastics that may contain phthalates or other harmful chemicals. Choosing between the different models Size matters when it comes to comfort and pleasure. A vibrator that is too big can be intimidating or uncomfortable for some, while one that is too small may not be effective. Choose a vibrator that is the right size and shape for your personal experience and preferences. At Goliate, we offer you 2 vibrators perfect for G-spot stimulation: My Pleasure: our sex toy specially designed for G-spot stimulation. Its curvature designed specifically for this and its ideal softness will delight you in stimulating your G-spot. My Pleasure Plus : having all the qualities of My Pleasure, it also allows you to stimulate the clitoris to make your partner explode with pleasure. How to stimulate the G-spot with a sex toy? To stimulate the G-spot with a vibrator, start by applying a little water-based lubricant to ensure comfort and fluidity. Insert the vibrator slowly, with the curve facing upward, towards the front wall of the vagina. Experiment with different pressure levels, speeds, and angles to find what feels best for you. Frequently Asked Questions About the G-Spot What exactly is the G-spot? The G-spot is an erogenous zone located inside the vagina, on its anterior wall. Although its size and sensitivity vary from person to person, it is generally located about 2 to 3 cm inside the vagina, just beyond the entrance. How do I know if I've found the G-spot? You will know you have found the G-spot when you feel an area that is slightly rougher than the rest of the vaginal tissue. Stimulating this area can cause an intense sensation, which can be very pleasant for some women, while for others it may be simply comfortable or even indifferent. Is it normal to not feel pleasure when stimulating the G-spot? Yes, this is completely normal. G-spot sensitivity varies greatly from person to person. Some people may find great pleasure in stimulating this area, while others may not feel any particular sensation. The important thing is to discover what works for you and what gives you pleasure. One thing is for sure, you have to try it to know if you will like it. Every person is unique, and the quest for the G-spot is a personal journey that may require patience and experimentation. Feel free to try out different techniques and toys that we have recommended, listening to yourself and always respecting your personal limits and those of your partner. If you don't like it, there are still many other things to try!

Low libido: our advice to revive your desire

Libido is what allows us to have desire, since the definition of libido is exactly “the search for sexual pleasure” . But what happens when our desire seems to weaken for no apparent reason? This phenomenon, much more common than we think, deserves special attention to understand all its subtleties. In this article, we will explore together the multiple facets of libido, from its influences to its variations, to offer you essential keys to understanding. We will talk about why and how libido sometimes fails us and where it comes from. We will also give you some secrets to improve your libido and consider the use of sex toys as well as other moments dedicated to the desire of the couple. How does libido work? Libido is simply sexual desire. Like any aspect of our health, it is subject to fluctuations that can be influenced by a multitude of factors. Recognizing that these variations are normal is the first step in approaching the subject without judgment and with openness. Libido is a key indicator of our overall well-being. It is closely linked to our physical, mental and emotional health. A drop in libido can sometimes signal other underlying problems, whether physical, such as hormonal imbalances, or psychological, such as stress or anxiety. It is therefore essential to approach it carefully and understand its causes in order to maintain or regain a satisfactory balance. Talking openly about libido as a couple is crucial, as it demystifies sexuality issues and encourages individuals to seek help and solutions. In a society where the topic can still be taboo, providing accurate information and supporting open discussion contributes to better sexual health for all. Factors that influence libido Libido can be influenced by a variety of psychological, physical and relationship factors, which can then impact our sex lives. Hormones: Hormonal fluctuations, whether due to the menstrual cycle, menopause, or other medical conditions, can have a profound impact on libido. Physical health: Health conditions such as chronic illness, fatigue, or taking certain medications can reduce sexual desire. Sleep: The quality and quantity of sleep has a direct impact on libido. Lack of sleep can reduce energy levels and increase stress, while adequate, restful sleep can improve sexual desire. Diet and exercise: A balanced diet and regular exercise routine promote good overall health and, by extension, better sexual health. Obesity or, on the contrary, insufficient diet can both negatively impact libido. Emotional state: Stress, anxiety, and depression are among the main culprits of low libido. Mental health plays a crucial role in regulating sexual desire. Self-esteem and body image: How we perceive ourselves can influence our interest in sex. A positive body image is often linked to a stronger libido. Couple dynamics: The quality of the emotional relationship and communication with your partner are fundamental. Unresolved conflicts, lack of connection or novelty can all contribute to a drop in libido. Sexual satisfaction: Previous sexual experience, whether gratifying or unsatisfying, can also influence future desire. Understanding the roots of low libido is the first step to solving the problem: in fact, if you know why you have less desire for your partner, you will be able to more easily know where to start to change the situation. If you experience persistent low libido, we still encourage you to consult a healthcare professional for a complete evaluation. How to deal with a drop in libido in your relationship? A low libido isn’t just a personal change; it profoundly affects the dynamics of a relationship. Understanding how it impacts the relationship can help partners navigate this challenge together, strengthening their bond. Know how to communicate with your partner Low libido can lead to misunderstandings and frustrations in a relationship. It is crucial that partners maintain open and honest communication to express their feelings, concerns, and desires without judgment. This helps prevent resentment and allows them to work together to find solutions. Encouraging regular discussions and using assertive communication techniques can improve mutual understanding. For example, dialogues that focus on emotions and needs, rather than criticism, foster a supportive environment. Managing the couple's expectations It is essential to adjust expectations regarding the frequency and intensity of sexual interactions . We are all different so there are no obligations regarding the frequency of intercourse. Some will want to make love every day while others will be satisfied by making love only twice a month. The trick is to find a happy medium that suits the couple. Below we detail ideas for things to put in place to encourage communication and desire. Spice up your life as a couple to tickle your libido Testing new things Introducing new experiences to break the routine certainly helps to spice up the libido. If you are a beginner with sex toys , we invite you to start with “soft” sex toys: Rabbit Vibrators : Recognizable by their design with a rabbit-shaped extension for clitoral stimulation, these vibrators offer dual stimulation — internal and external — simultaneously, making them particularly appreciated for their complete and intense sensations. This is the case of our sublime MyPleasur Plus. Clitoral vacuums: These sex toys use pressure waves to create a suction sensation around the clitoris, simulating the effect of oral sex. They are perfect for those looking for gentle, highly targeted clitoral stimulation. If this is you, you need to check out The Amazing, the clitoral vacuum from Goliate. Geisha Balls : Originally used to strengthen the pelvic muscles, these small balls inserted into the vagina stimulate with slight muscle contractions when they move, ideal for improving muscle tone and intensifying sensations during sexual activity. Practice foreplay well Upping the ante on foreplay can significantly increase libido. Taking the time to build arousal with gentle new practices like simple intimate caresses or humping before intercourse can transform the sexual experience, making it more satisfying for both partners. Pay attention to the sexual atmosphere Ambiance plays a crucial role in boosting libido. Creating a sensual environment with soft lighting, soothing music, and pleasant scents can help you relax and get into the right frame of mind for intimacy. Knowing how to communicate these desires Having open conversations about fantasies and desires can strengthen connection and trust between partners. It also helps ensure that both partners are on the same page about their expectations and boundaries. Where to start to recreate communication as a couple? Planning evenings for 2 Organizing themed evenings, such as a romantic weekend or an erotic evening, can add an element of play and novelty to the relationship. Sometimes, even just the time we decide to take to organize a romantic dinner can do a lot of good for our shared sexuality. Participate in workshops on sexuality Attending sexuality workshops or seminars can be a great way for couples to learn new techniques and better understand sexual dynamics. These educational sessions can also offer tools to improve communication and sexual satisfaction. Have a massage evening for two Getting sexy massages can be a great way to increase libido because they promote intimacy and relaxation, reducing stress and tension that can inhibit sexual desire. These massages also improve the emotional connection between partners, creating an environment conducive to spontaneity and desire. Enjoy romantic getaways Planning romantic getaways or vacations can break the routine and rejuvenate the relationship. Choosing destinations that encourage intimacy and offer new experiences can revitalize the relationship and, by extension, the libido. Some apps like Staycation even allow you to book luxury hotels at discounted prices during off-peak hours! A great discovery. Meet sexuality professionals If personal efforts and communication are not enough to resolve the challenges of low libido, it may be beneficial to consult a couples therapist or sexologist. These professionals can offer outside perspectives and tailored strategies to overcome this difficult time together. A drop in libido is not permanent! Remember that libido naturally fluctuates throughout life. Giving yourself permission to explore, discuss, and experiment can often unlock doors you thought were closed. Whether it's through simple daily adjustments or more in-depth approaches such as consulting specialists, every step is a step towards a more fulfilling balance. Your well-being is our priority, and our mission is to support you in your quest for a fully satisfying sex life. Explore, dare, and above all, take care of yourself!

How to improve libido naturally?

Libido, or sexual desire, plays a crucial role in our emotional well-being and intimate relationships. However, many factors can affect libido, such as stress, fatigue, or health issues. Fortunately, there are natural methods to boost libido without resorting to medication . This article explores practical solutions to naturally improve your sex life. Understanding Libido Libido is influenced by a complex set of psychological, biological, and relationship factors . Research shows that conditions such as depression or anxiety can severely decrease interest in sexual activity. From a biological perspective, hormones such as testosterone and estrogen play a critical role in regulating sexual desire. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that balanced levels of these hormones are essential for normal libido in both women and men. Natural factors affecting libido Sleep Quality sleep is crucial for a healthy libido. Studies have shown that lack of sleep can lead to a decrease in testosterone production in men, reducing their sex drive. Research from the University of Chicago found that men who slept less than five hours a night for a week had significantly lower testosterone levels than those who got a full night's sleep. Food As you might expect, what we eat has a direct impact on our libido. Certain foods are particularly beneficial for increasing libido, such as: Oysters: Rich in zinc, they stimulate testosterone production. Dark Chocolate: Stimulates the release of serotonin and phenylethylamine, improving mood and desire. Avocados: Source of vitamin B6 and potassium, which improve blood circulation and energy levels. Of course, it is essential to have a healthy and balanced lifestyle. So there is no point in throwing yourself on the 3 bars of chocolate that are patiently waiting in your cupboard... Physical exercise Regular physical activity improves blood circulation and increases the production of endorphins, the " happy hormone ," which can boost libido. Specific exercises like yoga or Pilates also improve flexibility and body awareness, which are key to a fulfilling sex life. Regular exercise, especially cardiovascular exercise , can increase libido by improving blood flow and reducing stress. According to a study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, men who exercise regularly have better sexual performance and a higher libido than those who remain sedentary. Natural strategies to improve your libido Stress management Stress management is vital to maintaining a healthy libido. Techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and mindfulness can significantly reduce stress and improve sexual function. A study conducted by the University of California, San Francisco showed that regular meditation practice can significantly improve sexual function in women. Take time for yourself Taking time for yourself is essential to cultivating a healthy relationship with your sexuality and, by extension, improving your libido. In a world where daily stress and obligations can erode our energy and sexual desire, taking time out to reconnect with your own needs and desires becomes essential . Self-reflection helps us understand the underlying causes of low libido, whether they are physical, emotional or psychological. To practice this listening to yourself, it can be beneficial to regularly engage in activities that promote relaxation and mindfulness (such as meditation, the yoga mentioned above), or even walks in nature . These quiet moments help reduce stress and clear the mind, which can reveal buried or neglected desires. By becoming aware of your inner state and actively addressing stressors, you can often rediscover an interest in intimate interactions and see a noticeable improvement in your libido. The massage Sensual or sexy massage is a beautiful and effective method to enhance intimacy and boost libido between partners. With an emphasis on gentle, intentional touch, this type of massage can not only relax the body but also awaken the senses, setting the stage for deeper and more satisfying sexual interactions. The key is open communication and mutual consent , allowing each partner to express their preferences and boundaries. To incorporate sensual massage into your intimate life, start by creating a relaxing and seductive atmosphere: turn off the lights, light scented candles, and choose soft music. Use an organic massage oil that is pleasant to the touch and has the right scent to create an atmosphere conducive to letting go and sexual exploration. The massage should be gentle and exploratory, without focusing solely on erogenous zones. Encourage communication during the massage, asking for and giving feedback on preferred pressure and movements. This practice can not only increase physical connection, but also emotional connection, making partners more open and receptive to each other. By exploring new ways of giving and receiving pleasure, sensual massage can reignite passion and significantly improve the dynamics of your relationship. Herbs and food supplements Herbs like ginseng and maca have been used for centuries to boost libido. Ginseng promotes endurance and performance, while maca (a Peruvian root) regulates hormonal imbalances that affect sexual desire. A review published in "BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine" confirmed that maca improved sexual desire in both men and women after six weeks of use. Here is a small list of plants that can help support libido: Maca : Native to the Peruvian Andes, maca is a tuber known for its properties that boost energy, stamina, and libido. Studies have shown that maca can improve sexual desire without directly affecting hormonal levels. Ginseng : Ginseng, especially Korean red ginseng, is famous for its beneficial effects on libido and sexual performance. It is often used to improve energy and reduce fatigue, which can indirectly increase sexual desire. Tribulus terrestris : This supplement has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat a variety of conditions, including low libido in both men and women. Some studies suggest it may help increase levels of certain sex hormones, including testosterone. Ginkgo biloba : Known for its effects on blood circulation and neurological health, Ginkgo biloba may also help improve sexual function by increasing blood flow to the genitals, which is essential for sexual arousal and performance. Fenugreek : Fenugreek is an herb that has been shown to help increase libido and sexual performance by increasing testosterone production and improving symptoms of menopause. L-Arginine : This amino acid helps improve blood circulation, which can benefit sexual health. Arginine is converted in the body into nitric oxide, which helps dilate blood vessels and improve blood flow to the genitals. It is important to note that while these supplements may help improve libido, they should be used with caution and preferably under the supervision of a healthcare professional . Effects may vary from person to person, and they may interact with other medications or medical conditions. Integration of sex toys and masturbation Using sex toys and practicing masturbation are effective ways to explore your sexual preferences and improve your libido. Sex toys can help individuals and couples discover what turns them on, which can increase their desire and improve their sexual experiences. So don't hesitate to take the plunge and choose your first sex toy , your libido could be greatly improved. Masturbation, on the other hand, is not only a practice to satisfy immediate needs; it is also essential to understanding what gives pleasure. Studies indicate that regular masturbation can have several health benefits, including improved sleep quality, reduced stress, and improved focus. An article in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that women who masturbate regularly report better sexual function and greater sexual satisfaction. The same is true for men, so feel free to brush up on the basics of masturbation. The Harms of Porn on Libido and How to Get Rid of It  Pornography consumption has become commonplace in modern society, but its impact on libido and sexual health can be complex. While for some, porn can add a spicy dimension to their sex life, especially partnered porn , for others, it can lead to addiction issues, distorted sexual expectations, and a decreased desire for real-life sexual interactions. Negative effects of porn on libido: Distortion of expectations : Pornography can create unrealistic expectations about performance, body, and sexual practices, which can lead to dissatisfaction in real-life sexual relationships. Desensitization : Frequent exposure to extreme sexual stimuli can make normal sexual stimuli less arousing, which can decrease libido and arousal in real-life situations. Porn Addiction : Like any addiction, porn addiction can lead to a compulsive need to consume more and more content, often to the detriment of other activities and relationships. Strategies to Reduce Porn Addiction Awareness and education : Understanding the potentially harmful effects of porn can help motivate behavior change. Seeking therapy : Professionals, such as sex therapists or therapists, can offer advice and strategies for overcoming addiction. Developing Other Hobbies : Replacing time spent watching porn with other activities can reduce addiction and improve overall quality of life. Sexual education to better understand your body Open communication with your partner is essential for a healthy sex life. Discussing your needs and desires can not only improve your relationship, but also increase your desire for each other. Beyond communication, comprehensive sex education is essential and should include information about anatomy, sexual physiology, and sexual and reproductive health. Knowing your body and understanding how it works can greatly improve self-confidence and sexual satisfaction. For example, understanding the different phases of sexual response (desire, arousal, orgasm) can help individuals better manage their expectations and enhance their sexual experience.

Ready to explore the depths of your pleasure? Let us guide you towards a better understanding of your body and its vast possibilities for experiencing pleasure. Join us to transform your approach to intimacy and strengthen your personal connection with your sexuality. How to promote female orgasm? Communication and connection with partner In the context of a shared experience, open communication with the partner is essential to achieving a vaginal orgasm. Expressing your desires, needs, and boundaries can help your partner understand how to effectively stimulate you. Additionally, a deep emotional connection can intensify the experience and make vaginal orgasm more accessible. Physical health influences orgasms General physical health can also affect the ability to experience a vaginal orgasm. For example, medical conditions such as vaginal dryness or pelvic pain can make penetration uncomfortable and therefore less conducive to orgasm. It is important to consult a healthcare professional if physical barriers persist. The importance of Kegel exercises Kegel exercises are a proven method for strengthening the pelvic floor, which can play a crucial role in the ability to achieve and intensify vaginal orgasms. A strong pelvic floor better supports the pelvic organs, improving sexual response and sensation during penetration. To perform Kegel exercises correctly, you must contract the muscles in the perineum that you would use to stop the flow of urine, hold them contracted for a few seconds, and then release them. It is recommended to repeat this process several times a day. Improve the body and mind connection Breathing plays a key role in relaxation and the ability to achieve orgasm. Deep breathing techniques can help relax the body and increase blood oxygenation, which improves arousal and sexual responsiveness. Breathing synchronized with movements during sex can also increase intimacy and shared pleasure with the partner. Meditation and visualization of pleasure Meditation and visualization are powerful tools for improving body awareness and emotional connection to the sexual act. Practicing meditation focused on bodily sensations can help dispel mental distractions and focus more on feelings of pleasure. Visualizing orgasm can also mentally prepare the body for the experience, increasing the chances of achieving it. Tips for promoting orgasm during intercourse Foreplay you will do Foreplay plays an essential role in sexual arousal, especially for vaginal orgasm. Intimate caresses , kisses, and other forms of erotic stimulation can increase blood flow to the genitals, improving sensitivity and the possibility of reaching orgasm. Taking the time necessary to build excitement is key. Ideal positions you will adopt Certain sexual positions are better suited to stimulating internal erogenous zones like the G-spot. For example, revisiting the missionary position , where the woman's legs are on her partner's shoulders, can allow for better vaginal stimulation. Using cushions under the hips to adjust the angle of penetration may also be beneficial. Sex toys you will use In addition to manual techniques, sex toys can be used during exercises to discover what stimulates vaginal pleasure the most. For example, dilators or vibrators specifically designed for G-spot stimulation can be valuable tools for women exploring their ability to have a vaginal orgasm. Clitoral Stimulators : Ideal for precise external stimulation, these devices are designed to be both compact and efficient, delivering impressive power to maximize pleasure. Rabbit Vibrators : Designed for both clitoral and vaginal stimulation, these Rabbit vibrators often feature customizable speed settings and vibration modes for a tailored experience. Geisha Balls : used to tone the pelvic muscles, these balls improve muscle control and the intensity of orgasms, while contributing to general pelvic health, especially after childbirth. You too can reach orgasm Every woman is unique in her ability to experience pleasure. Understanding and exploring your body is a deeply personal process, which requires patience and perseverance. There is no magic formula to guarantee a vaginal orgasm, but the techniques, tips and exercises we have shared here are valuable tools to increase your chances of having this rewarding experience. It is also important to emphasize that female sexuality should not be surrounded by pressure or stereotypes. Seeking to understand and improve your sexual experience should always be a process done with respect and self-love.

We hope this article has inspired you to explore new dimensions of your sexuality. To continue learning and exploring, feel free to check out our other resources and guides available on our site.

For the person in the inverted position, all erogenous zones can be accessible and stimulated, from the perineum to the clitoris, and from the vagina to the anus. This accessibility allows the active partner to vary the pleasures, alternating between manual, oral, and oral caresses. use of sex toys if desired. Erogenous zones stimulated by the Butler position The Butler position stands out for its ability to stimulate a wide range of erogenous zones, which can intensify the sexual experience for both partners. For the partner in the inverted position, the stimulation is particularly rich: the clitoris and vagina can be accessible for intense oral or manual stimulation. It is also an opportunity to approach sexual intercourse in a gentler way, without penetration. For this, intimate caresses on your partner's anatomy can be an excellent way to raise the temperature. Additionally, the exposure and accessibility of the anus allows for exploration of anal pleasure , often overlooked in other, more traditional positions. If the head-down partner is a man, this is undeniably an opportunity to explore his prostate pleasure so that he can discover a new, incredible source of pleasure! Go slowly, because you need to know how to properly prepare for “sodomy” so that the experience is exceptional. Do not hesitate to introduce dedicated prostate massagers to discover this practice (don't forget to use anal lubricant because this area does not naturally lubricate!). For the active partner, the visual stimulation of seeing their partner in such a provocative posture and the ability to actively explore multiple erogenous zones simultaneously can greatly increase their arousal and pleasure. Advantages of the Butler position The Butler position, beyond its unusual nature, offers several substantial advantages that can enrich the sexual experience of partners: Intensive stimulation: As mentioned previously, this position allows intense and complete stimulation of the genital areas, including the clitoris ( find out in our article how to stimulate it effectively ), the vagina, and the anus. This can lead to very powerful orgasms due to the combination of simultaneous stimulation. Variety and innovation: For couples looking to escape monotony, the Butler introduces an element of novelty and surprise into sex life, breaking routine with a bold and dynamic approach. Strengthening the emotional bond: Succeeding in such a demanding position can strengthen the feeling of trust and complicity between partners. It requires excellent communication and synchronization, thereby strengthening the emotional connection through the shared challenge. Furthermore, the person upside down must learn to let go, especially during cunnilingus. Visual and psychological pleasure: For many, the visual dimension of seeing one's partner in such a unique and vulnerable position adds a layer of psychological and aesthetic pleasure to the act. A possible addition: fellatio In slight variation, the Butler position can also incorporate fellatio , adding an extra layer of pleasure. When the receiver is a woman, for example, her partner can alternate between oral stimulation of the clitoris and fellatio if she is able to do so comfortably. This versatility makes the Butler position an attractive option for those looking to vary their sexual experiences. Variations of the Butler position For couples interested in the Butler position but worried about its difficulty, there are variations that can offer some of the excitement with less risk: Use of Props: Incorporating equipment like sex swings or furniture specifically designed for support can reduce the physical difficulty of the position and increase comfort. Modified version: The active partner can stand or kneel, while the receptive partner uses furniture to support their shoulders and head, reducing the need for full suspension. Role Reversed: Reversing roles where the traditionally active partner is in a passive position can also offer a new dynamic and perspective for both partners. Use of sex toys: The integration of sex toys into the practice of this position is very interesting. The "active" partner can both stimulate his partner's anus with the help of a sex toy or anal plug while also orally stimulating his partner's vagina or clitoris. And vice versa. It can also be accompanied by a contactless clitoral stimulator to make your partner orgasm in just a few minutes. By exploring these variations, couples can gradually approach the full version of the Butler position or discover an adaptation that works specifically for them, allowing safe and enjoyable exploration of their desires. Disadvantages of the Butler position However, the Butler position also has disadvantages that can make it less attractive for some couples: Physical Requirement: As noted, this position requires good physical condition from both partners. It can be uncomfortable, especially for the partner in the inverted position, and can even be risky without proper preparation. Difficulty of setup: Finding and maintaining the right setup can be complex and daunting. Partners may need several attempts before successfully executing the position correctly. Limitations for certain body types: The difference in height or weight between partners can make this position practically impossible to achieve. Risk of injury: Without proper caution and preparation, there is an increased risk of falling or injury, especially to the suspended partner. Difficulty level: Why 5 out of 5? We give the Butler position a 5/5 in terms of complexity for several reasons. Firstly, it requires good physical condition and a certain flexibility on the part of both partners. Supporting the suspended partner requires strength and endurance, while the suspended partner must be able to handle the potential discomfort of the inverted position. Additionally, coordination and communication must be impeccable to maintain everyone’s safety and enjoyment. Goliate orgasm meter: a mixed rating (2/4) Despite its many advantages in terms of stimulation, the Butler position receives a rating of 2 out of 4 on the Goliate orgasm meter following votes from the Instagram community. This assessment reflects the challenges that this position can present in terms of comfort and ease of execution. Although the stimulation is intense, it may not be suitable for all couples, especially those who prefer less physically demanding interactions. The fun side of the position Beyond its complexity and intensity, the Butler position is also a source of playful pleasure and laughter. It allows couples to get out of the usual sexual routine and experiment with gravity and body dynamics in a fun and original way. This exploration can not only strengthen the bond between partners, but also allow them to discover new ways of giving and receiving pleasure. Conclusion The Butler position is a great example of how the Kamasutra continues to inspire couples to explore their sexuality in creative and daring ways. Although it can present challenges in terms of difficulty and comfort, it also offers a unique opportunity to strengthen connection and broaden erotic horizons. As with any sexual adventure, the key is to listen to your body and your emotions, communicate openly with your partner, and engage in the experience with an open mind and a willingness to explore. Anecdote about the position of the Butler: did you know that? Did you know that the Butler position gets its name from the boldness and helpful nature of this posture in the Kamasutra? When introduced in ancient manuscripts, this position was often illustrated with great elegance and a sense of dedication, reminiscent of the attitude of a butler dedicated to the satisfaction of his masters. Additionally, there are accounts that suggest that in some ancient cultures, acrobatic positions like the Butler were practiced not only for fun, but also as a form of exercise to improve flexibility and body strength. This athletic dimension added a layer of skill and performance to the sexual act, transforming the position into a display of physical strength as well as passion.

Because knowing your body is the first step towards a fulfilling sex life, we will guide you through the different approaches to masturbation, offering you practical advice and tailored recommendations. Let yourself be guided by our expertise and begin a journey towards greater confidence and pleasure. Discover with us how masturbation can not only improve your health, but also enrich your sex life. Why is masturbation important for women? Introduction to female sexual health Female masturbation is often shrouded in silence and mystery, but it is actually a healthy and natural practice that deserves to be explored with respect and openness. Understanding your own needs and desires is fundamental to a balanced and satisfying sex life. The psychological benefits of masturbation Masturbation isn't just about pleasure; it also plays a crucial role in the psychological well-being of women. It allows you to know yourself better, increase self-confidence and reduce stress and anxiety. By taking the time to discover what gives you pleasure, you develop a more positive relationship with your body. It is a form of self-affirmation and self-love that strengthens mental and emotional health. Why masturbate regularly? On a physical level, masturbation has several benefits. It can improve genital health by increasing blood circulation to the pelvic organs, which contributes to better tissue elasticity and optimal sexual function. In addition, it helps relieve certain menstrual pain thanks to the release of endorphins, the feel-good hormones. For women, exploring their bodies can also serve as a preventative exercise against sexual dysfunction, increasing the ability to achieve orgasm. It is essential to deconstruct the myths surrounding female masturbation . Contrary to popular belief, this practice is neither harmful nor selfish; rather, it is an important aspect of personal autonomy. Recognizing and accepting your own desire is a liberating act that opens the way to a richer and more satisfying sexuality. How to get started: first steps towards female masturbation? Make yourself confortable To begin practicing masturbation, it is crucial to create an environment that promotes relaxation and comfort. Choose a private place where you will not be disturbed, and where you feel safe and comfortable. This could be your bedroom, with clean sheets and dim lighting, or any other room that inspires tranquility. The ambiance can be enhanced with soft music or scented candles, depending on your preferences. Want to (re)discover yourself Before you even think about using toys or masturbation aids, it's important to start by exploring your body with your hands. Find out what caresses you like, what movements give you pleasure, and what rhythm suits you best. This personal exploration is fundamental to establishing an intimate connection with yourself, understanding your own sexual desires, and understanding your private parts to learn how to stimulate your clitoris and vulva. Have the right mindset Masturbation is not just a physical affair, it also involves your mental state. For many women, detaching themselves from everyday concerns and getting into a mindset conducive to pleasure can be a challenge. A few techniques can help, such as practicing meditation or deep breathing before you begin. It can also be helpful to consume erotic media, such as literature or films that stimulate the imagination and sexual arousal. Dare to get started Once the environment and state of mind are prepared, start with light intimate caresses around the erogenous zones without going directly to the genitals. This may include the neck, breasts, inner thighs. Gradually work your way to the clitoris and labia, using movements that increase in intensity according to your level of comfort and arousal. It's important to remember that every woman reacts differently, so what works for one person may not necessarily work for another. Best practices for masturbation Explore with gentleness and patience When approaching masturbation, particularly for beginners, it is essential to explore your body gently and patiently. Every woman has different preferences and sensitivities, which makes each experience unique. Clitoral stimulation : the starting point The clitoris, an organ dedicated to pleasure with more than 8,000 nerve endings, is often the focal point of female masturbation. Stimulation can begin with gentle circular movements or small pressures with the fingertips. It is important to vary the rhythms and pressures to discover what resonates most with you. Some prefer the use of a water-based lubricant to make this experience more pleasant and less irritating to the delicate skin in this area. Penetrate the vagina gently In addition to clitoral stimulation, vaginal penetration can also provide pleasure. The fingers, after being thoroughly washed, can be used to caress the inside of the vagina. Movements can vary: some prefer gentle, rhythmic movements, while others may explore different angles and depths. It is also an opportunity to explore the G-spot, located on the front wall of the vagina, which can be a source of intense pleasure for some women. Use of lubricants The use of natural lubricants is recommended to make the practice more comfortable and pleasant, especially if you are exploring penetration techniques. Water-based lubricants are recommended because they are safe to use with all types of sex toys and do not damage the materials. They are also easier to clean and less likely to cause irritation. An often overlooked but essential aspect of masturbation is hygiene. Before and after each session, it is crucial to wash your hands and ensure that any toys or objects used are clean. This helps prevent infections and ensures a healthy and safe experience. Masturbation with sex toys for more pleasure Choosing your first sex toy Introducing sex toys into the practice of masturbation can transform the experience significantly. For women wondering how to masturbate in more varied and rewarding ways, sex toys offer a multitude of options. The key is to choose a first sex toy that fits your personal preferences and comfort level. Whether you prefer clitoral stimulators, vibrators, or dildos, each option has its particularities. It's important to start with something simple and intuitive to familiarize yourself with using toys. Clitoral Stimulators : Perfect for those who enjoy direct external stimulation, these toys are typically small and discreet, but powerful in sensation. Rabbit: They can be used for external and internal stimulation. Some models offer options for adjusting speed and vibration modes to personalize the experience. Geisha Balls : Geisha balls , also known as Kegel balls, are valuable instruments for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. Not only can they improve the control and intensity of orgasms, but they also play a vital role in pelvic health by preventing organ descent and aiding postpartum recovery. Female masturbation: get started! To conclude this article on female masturbation, let us recall the fundamental importance of this practice in self-discovery and acceptance. Masturbation is not just an act of personal pleasure; it is also a door to a better understanding of our body and its needs, thus allowing a more fulfilling and harmonious sex life. We encourage you to explore the different techniques and products we have discussed without fear or guilt, to find what works best for you.

Managing libido differences in couples: practical guide

In any relationship, sexual harmony plays a crucial role for the general well-being of the partners. However, it is not uncommon for sexual desires to diverge at times, which can create tension and misunderstanding. How, then, can we effectively manage differences in libido to maintain a fulfilling relationship ? This article explores practical and respectful strategies for addressing these differences without stigma or frustration. Understanding Sex Drive Differences Origins of differences The origins of differences in libido between partners can be extremely varied , reflecting the complexity of human sexuality. Biologically , factors such as hormonal levels, general health, and medications can play a significant role. For example, hormones such as testosterone have a direct impact on sexual desire, and variations in these levels can lead to changes in libido. On a psychological level , elements such as the state of mental health, stress, and the personal history of each individual also influence sexual desire. Depression, anxiety, and even fatigue from a busy lifestyle can significantly reduce libido. Additionally, past experiences such as trauma or sex education received can shape the way individuals experience and express their sexuality. Contextually, the dynamics of the relationship itself are determining. Unresolved conflicts, a lack of communication, or even the monotony of daily routine can decrease sexual attraction between partners. On the other hand, periods of major change, such as parenthood or career transitions , can also influence sexual desires significantly. Understanding these origins not only helps demystify the causes of libido differences but also encourages a more empathetic and personalized approach to managing these differences within couples. By recognizing and addressing these underlying factors, partners can work together to find a balance that respects everyone's needs. Myths and realities Understanding libido differences in relationships is often clouded by myths and misunderstandings that can create unrealistic expectations and unnecessary pressure on partners. A common myth is the idea that compatible partners should naturally have synchronized libidos. In reality, it is normal for desires to fluctuate and not always align . This does not necessarily mean incompatibility or a relationship problem. Another persistent myth is that high libido is synonymous with virility or feminine health, while low libido is often seen as a flaw or deficiency. This type of stereotyping can lead to unnecessary shame and prevent people from speaking openly about their true feelings and needs. The reality is that libido is influenced by a multitude of factors and varies greatly from person to person. It is also frequently assumed that libido should always be spontaneous and irrepressible. In truth, many individuals experience what is called a reactive libido , where sexual desire only arises in response to an erotic stimulus rather than before it. Recognizing these diverse ways of experiencing sexuality can help partners better understand and respond to each other's needs without judgment. Effective communication Express your needs and desires Communication is the cornerstone of resolving any differences in a relationship, including libido imbalances. It is crucial to create a space where everyone feels safe to express their needs , concerns and expectations without judgment. Partners should practice empathetic listening to understand the other's perspective and needs without feeling threatened or rejected. Planning vs spontaneity Discussing the frequency of sex can help balance each other's needs. For some, planning intimate moments can help build positive anticipation and manage expectations, with a tender and gentle approach a la vanilla sex , while for others, maintaining an element of spontaneity is crucial. Finding the right balance is key. Pragmatic solutions Innovation and exploration Innovating the way you experience your sexuality can help meet the needs of partners with different libidos. Exploring new forms of intimacy, whether massages, lingering kisses, or even erotic play, can enrich the sexual experience without requiring high desire on either side. Why not try couple porn or audio porn? A gentler way to treat yourself, together. Professional support When differences in libido are causing significant tension, seeing a therapist who specializes in sexology may be an option. This professional can offer personalized strategies and help explore the psychological or relational roots of these differences. Do not hesitate to take part in our “pleasure guide” in which you will have access to a free first appointment with a sex therapist. Take care of the relationship Nurture the relationship outside the bedroom The sexual health of a relationship is often a reflection of its overall health. It is therefore important to nourish the relationship in its other dimensions: spending quality time together , sharing pleasant activities, and supporting each other in daily challenges. Importance of autonomy Recognizing and respecting each person's autonomy when it comes to desires can also alleviate a lot of pressure. Understanding that each partner is an individual with their own rhythms and needs can transform the way we approach the issue of libido. Differences in libido are not insurmountable. With communication, understanding, and a commitment to working together, it is possible to manage these differences in a way that strengthens the relationship rather than weakens it. It takes patience, openness, and sometimes a little creativity, but the rewards—a stronger, more intimate relationship—are worth it. The importance of individual masturbation in a couple relationship Give yourself personal space Individual masturbation , even when in a relationship, plays a crucial role in personal sexual health. It allows each partner to stay in touch with their own desires and to better understand their body and its reactions . This can, therefore, enrich the shared sexual experience, providing knowledge and practices that can be shared and discussed with the partner. Softer, intimate caresses can also be a good approach. Reduce sexual pressure Practicing masturbation can also be used to balance differences in libido within a couple. For the partner with a higher libido, it provides an outlet for their sexual needs without putting pressure on the other. This helps maintain harmony in the relationship, reducing any frustrations or feelings of rejection that might arise. Building confidence and independence Masturbating while in a relationship can also build self-confidence and autonomy. This shows an open-mindedness and maturity in the relationship , where both partners recognize that their sexual satisfaction can also be personal and not exclusively shared. This act can help build a climate of trust where everyone feels free to explore their sexuality without judgment. Promote dialogue around pleasure Finally, accepting and encouraging masturbation in a relationship can promote an open dialogue about pleasure and sexual preferences. This can open up discussions about what each partner likes or discovers about themselves, enriching their shared sex life with new ideas and experiences. Encouraging masturbation as a healthy component of individual sexual identity and well-being in a relationship can transform the way partners perceive intimacy and desire, cultivating a more fulfilling and inclusive approach to sexuality. Integration of sexual accessories and intimate gels Diversify the intimate experience The introduction of sexual accessories or intimate cosmetics can play a significant role in managing differences in libido. Sex toys, for example, can offer new sensations and experiences that reignite sexual interest and break up routine. They allow us to discover new facets of pleasure together, thus facilitating more frequent and satisfying moments of intimacy. With a wide and complete offer, it will be easy for you to find the sex toy that best meets your expectations. Stimulating gels , massage oils and other natural and organic lubricants add an enriching sensory dimension that can make sex more exciting and less predictable, allowing the couple to re-discover themselves in new ways. Explore without pressure These tools can also help maintain physical intimacy at times when one partner feels less sexual desire. For example, using a sex toy can satisfy the need for closeness of the partner with a higher libido without putting pressure on the other for full sexual interaction. Massage oils and gels can be used for moments of relaxation and tenderness, increasing emotional and physical intimacy without focusing solely on the sexual act. Another possibility, why not try a remotely controlled sex toy to spice up your outings ? This will take you out of your routine and can lead to a new discovery of others, around a newfound complicity. Additional Tips for Managing Libido Differences Mutual sex education Sometimes a limited understanding of sexuality can restrict the expression of desires. Taking the time to educate each other about the different dimensions of sexuality can open up new avenues of communication and pleasure. Reading books together on sexuality, watching educational videos such as our complete training of 18 video modules entitled “Guide to Pleasure” , or even attending workshops can enrich your mutual experience. Maintain a positive atmosphere It is crucial to maintain a positive and encouraging attitude towards sexuality in the relationship. Avoiding negative criticism and instead encouraging small steps forward can create a healthier dynamic. Celebrate moments of connection, even if they are small or different than what you had in mind. Define common goals Discuss what each person wants to achieve in the sexual relationship. Whether it is increasing the frequency of sexual intercourse, sharing new forms of pleasure, or simply improving the quality of your intimacies, having clear objectives can guide your joint efforts. Consider satisfaction alternatives It's important to recognize that satisfaction in a relationship doesn't come from sex alone. Finding other sources of pleasure and satisfaction in the relationship can help relieve pressure around sexuality and strengthen other aspects of your partnership. Navigating the sometimes murky waters of libido differences requires empathy, respect, and a willingness to adapt and experiment . By using tools like sex toys and intimate cosmetics, educating themselves about sexuality, and maintaining open and positive communication, couples can overcome these challenges. This can not only improve their sex life, but also strengthen their relationship as a whole, building a deeper understanding and mutual respect between partners. With the right mix of patience, innovation, and commitment, the difference in libido can become an opportunity for growth and renewal for the couple.

The facesitting position: between pleasure and power, explore this intimate position

Introduction to the Facesitting Position Facesitting is a sexual practice where one person sits on the other's face, providing privileged access to the genitals and/or anal parts. This position may seem dominant at first glance, but it is widely acclaimed for the intense sensations and intimacy it provides. Adapted to all genders and sexual orientations, it allows everyone to discover new pleasures while remaining in control of the intensity and rhythm of the exchanges. Why choose facesitting? This position is chosen for the depth of intimacy it generates. The exposure and vulnerability of the lying person combined with the controlling position of the seated one creates a unique dynamic. Facesitting is often seen as an act of trust and abandonment , allowing the person seated to control the pleasure through precise movements adjusted according to the reactions of their partner. In fact, the act of submission is very exciting for many couples. How to do facesitting? Setting up facesitting requires a little preparation to ensure the comfort of all participants. The person sitting down must start by finding a stable position that allows them to control their weight without hindering their partner's breathing. It is often recommended to start with the knees supported around the head of the lying partner. Communication is essential here: you must regularly check that the person lying down is comfortable and can breathe without difficulty. Essential prerequisites for successful facesitting To ensure that the facesitting experience is both safe and satisfying, there are several prerequisites to consider: Mutual Consent : Before initiating any practice, the clear and enthusiastic consent of all partners is essential. Everyone should feel comfortable and willing to participate. Communication : Partners must be able to openly communicate their desires, boundaries and feelings. Good communication helps adjust movements and ensure everyone’s comfort. Flexibility and body control : The person seated must be able to control their weight and its distribution so as not to cause discomfort or pain to their partner. Some flexibility may be necessary to maintain a stable position. Hygiene : Cleanliness is crucial, especially for an activity involving close contact with the genital and anal areas. Partners should pay special attention to their personal hygiene before practicing this position. Respiratory comfort : It is important to ensure that the person lying down can breathe correctly throughout the procedure. The seated person should be alert to signs of distress or respiratory discomfort. Knowledge of physical limits : Understanding and respecting each person's physical limits is crucial. This includes recognizing pain, discomfort, and fatigue that may occur while maintaining certain postures. Adjusting the position or using props like cushions can help prevent problems. By integrating these prerequisites into the practice of facesitting, partners can ensure a positive and enriching experience for both. Benefits of the facesitting position Facesitting offers many advantages: Control and increased pleasure : The person seated controls the pressure and movement, which can lead to intense and targeted stimulation. Strengthening complicity : This position promotes communication and trust, key elements in the relationship. Variety and exploration : It allows you to explore different sensations, both for the receiver and for the giver. Smells also play a key role in this position. Visual and psychological stimulation : Seeing your partner in a position of submission or domination can be extremely arousing and satisfying. Erogenous zones stimulated by face sitting Facesitting is particularly effective at stimulating a range of erogenous zones , increasing pleasure for both partners. For the seated person, rubbing against their partner's face or mouth can stimulate the genital areas, including the clitoris or penis , as well as the entrance to the vagina or the base of the penis. Pressure and movement can also excite the labia, perineum and anus. This position can be a first step towards the discovery of anal pleasure , especially for men. You can easily introduce sex toys in this position. So, in order to stimulate your partner's penis while he is lying down when he stimulates you with his mouth, it may be interesting to use a vibrating cock ring. To avoid being left behind, the person seated can also insert a vibrator. We recommend our 2-in-1 sex toy , ideal for endless games as a couple. Finally, for the partner lying down, this position can offer intense visual and olfactory stimulation, in addition to the possibility of using one's mouth to actively explore these areas, including the clitoris, vaginal lips, penis and testicles, depending on the preferences of each person. Facesitting can thus transform each contact into a discovery of new pleasant sensations and intensify the overall erotic experience. Integration of cunnilingus into facesitting Integrating cunnilingus into facesitting can transform this practice into a particularly exhilarating experience for the recipient. For the donor to perform cunnilingus effectively, it is essential that the person seated adjusts their position to provide comfortable and supported access to their vagina. We recommend our dedicated article to learn how to let go during cunnilingus. The person lying down can use their tongue and lips to stimulate the clitoris, vaginal lips and entrance to the vagina. It is recommended to use a variety of movements, such as gentle licking, sucking or even using breathing to vary the sensations. Verbal or non-verbal communication is crucial here to ensure that the pressure and pace are enjoyable and stimulating. Variations of the facesitting position Facesitting offers several variations that can accommodate different levels of comfort and intimacy. A popular variation is "reverse facesitting" , where the seated person turns their back to the face of the lying partner, which can offer anal stimulation in addition to cunnilingus or fellatio. Another option is " side-saddle ", where the seated person positions themselves laterally to their partner's face, allowing less direct contact if one partner is less comfortable with full exposure. For those looking for more dynamic control or who have comfort issues with traditional positions, using a chair or supports like cushions can also be an interesting alternative, providing different angles and pressure levels for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, facesitting provides a natural and seamless transition into the 69 position , allowing partners to easily switch to enjoy mutual oral pleasure while maintaining continued closeness and intimacy. You can also accompany this position with intimate cosmetics such as our edible lubricating cream with a hazelnut scent which will be ideal for accompanying oral pleasure while stimulating your partner's vagina or anus. Enough to lubricate and excite with ease! Disadvantages of the position Despite its many attractions, facesitting can have some disadvantages: Comfort : Finding the ideal position can require frequent adjustments, which can sometimes throw off the rhythm. Breathing problems : The person lying down may have difficulty breathing if the weight is not properly managed. Psychological barriers : Some may feel vulnerable or embarrassed by the intimacy and exposure that facesitting involves. Goliate orgasm meter: 4/5 In terms of orgasmic potential, facesitting is often highly rated. The sitter's ability to precisely control the type and intensity of stimulation they provide can lead to powerful and satisfying orgasms for both partners. That said, as with any sexual practice, the experience can vary greatly from one person to another. Because this position is unusual and allows a real letting go without focusing on the eternal “penetration”, we give it a nice score of 4/5! Difficulty level Facesitting is generally considered a position of moderate difficulty . Although installation may be simple, managing weight and maintaining comfort requires some skill and attention. It is recommended to practice this position gradually and increase the duration as partners become more comfortable with each other's techniques and limits. Conclusion Facesitting is an exploration of intimacy, trust and mutual pleasure. With good communication and constant respect for each other's limits, this position can enrich partners' sex lives and strengthen their emotional and physical connection.  An interesting fun fact about the facesitting position is that it is called “Queening” or “Kinging” in some cultures, emphasizing its aspect of domination and power. Historically, this terminology highlights the dynamic of control and authority that the position can symbolize, with the seated person literally enthroned in the other's face like a king or queen on their throne. So, are you ready to play with Her Majesty?

Lap Dance: a dance of seduction and proximity

The Lap Dance position, much more than a simple sexual position, is a dance of seduction that combines eroticism and intimacy . This position, where one partner sits while the other performs a sensual dance on their knees, creates an atmosphere of desire and complicity. In this article, we will explore the advantages, disadvantages, techniques and erogenous zones stimulated by Lap Dance, while evaluating its difficulty and the level of pleasure it provides. Benefits of Lap Dance An inclusive position accessible to all genders A remarkable aspect of Lap Dance is its inclusiveness, particularly its ability to accommodate people of the same gender or wheelchair users. This adaptability makes Lap Dance unique among intimate positions, as it offers an opportunity for seduction and closeness for everyone , regardless of physical abilities . For people in wheelchairs, Lap Dance can be a particularly enriching and rewarding experience, breaking down mobility barriers and opening new avenues for the expression of sensuality and intimacy. In this configuration, the wheelchair partner remains seated in their chair, while the other partner performs the dance. This adaptation not only maintains the sensual and intimate nature of Lap Dance, but it also offers a new dimension of connection and sharing. The dancing partner can use the chair as support , allowing movement and proximity that may be difficult to achieve otherwise. This inclusive approach ensures that Lap Dance remains an accessible and enjoyable experience, highlighting the importance of adaptability and creativity in intimate relationships. By integrating the inclusive aspect into the practice of Lap Dance, couples can explore new ways to connect and share moments of complicity , regardless of physical challenges. This reinforces the idea that seduction and intimacy are not limited by physical abilities, but rather are enriched by mutual understanding, acceptance and adaptation. Variations of Lap Dance Reverse Lap Dance : In this variation, the dancing partner turns their back to the seated partner. This orientation offers a new visual perspective and allows for a different exploration of sensual movements. Standing Lap Dance : Here the dancing partner performs their dance in front of the seated or standing partner. This variation allows greater freedom of movement and can introduce a game of seduction from a distance before gradually getting closer. Lying Lap Dance : For a gentler, more intimate approach, the dancing partner can lie on top of the seated partner, creating a different closeness and connection. This variation is ideal for moments when tenderness takes precedence over the intensity of the dance. Lap Dance with accessories : The introduction of accessories such as chairs with high backs, feathers or sex toys especially to stimulate the clitoris of the person being penetrated, can add an element of play and sensory exploration to the Lap Dance, enriching the overall experience. Diversify the Lap Dance experience: enriching variations Lap Dance, in its traditional form, is already a captivating experience. However, exploring it through different variations can bring an exciting freshness and novelty . Here are some additional ideas to diversify Lap Dance: Face-to-Face Seated Lap Dance : In this variation, both partners sit facing each other, allowing for mutual exploration of movements and direct interaction. This position can be particularly intimate and connected. Mirrored Lap Dance : Here, both partners imitate each other's movements, creating a mirrored dance. This synchronization can strengthen the connection and complicity between partners. Lap Dance with Role Play : Incorporating role play, where each partner takes on a different character, can add a playful and imaginative dimension to Lap Dance, opening the way to creative and exciting scenarios. Silhouette Lap Dance : Using back lighting to create silhouettes can give Lap Dance a mysterious and artistic vibe, accentuating the shapes and movements of bodies. Lap Dance with Costume Props : Adding costume props, like hats, gloves, or masks, can turn Lap Dance into a theatrical experience, increasing excitement and anticipation. Slow and Sensual Lap Dance : Slowing down the movements considerably to focus on every detail and touch can intensify the sensory experience of Lap Dance, making each gesture more meaningful and emotionally charged. Each of these variations offers a new way to experience Lap Dance, allowing partners to discover what best resonates with their preferences and style. By experimenting with these different forms, couples can not only spice up their intimacy, but also deepen their emotional connection and mutual understanding. Disadvantages of Lap Dance: Practical Considerations Although Lap Dance is a sensual and intimate experience, it comes with certain challenges and drawbacks that are important to consider for a safe and enjoyable practice. First of all, Lap Dancing can be physically demanding, especially for the dancing partner. This person often must maintain a delicate balance while performing sometimes complex movements, which may require some strength, flexibility, and endurance . For people who are not used to regular physical activity, this can lead to rapid fatigue or even muscle pain. Another notable drawback is the need for adequate space. Lap Dance requires enough space to allow the dancing partner to move freely without risk of injury or knocking over surrounding objects. In a tight space, movement can be limited, reducing the overall experience. Additionally, for people in wheelchairs or with certain physical limitations, traditional Lap Dance may present additional challenges. Although there are adaptations, it is crucial to find ways to practice Lap Dance that are comfortable and safe for all participants. Lap Dance also involves a high degree of trust and communication between partners. There may be pressure or discomfort, particularly for the partner receiving the dance, if they do not feel completely comfortable with the closeness or intensity of the experience. Likewise, the dancing partner may feel vulnerable or self-conscious, especially if they don't have much experience with this type of sensual dancing. Additionally, Lap Dance can sometimes create sexual tension without resulting in immediate gratification , which can be frustrating for some. Because it focuses more on eroticism and seduction than on the sexual act itself, it can leave one or both partners in a state of unresolved arousal. Finally, it is important to consider aspects of consent and comfort . Lap Dance is an intimate experience that should be mutually enjoyable and respectful. If one partner feels uncomfortable or coerced, it can negatively affect the experience and the relationship. Performing Lap Dance: tips and techniques  Performing the Lap Dance, although seemingly simple, requires a certain amount of preparation and technique to ensure an experience that is both enjoyable and safe. Here are the steps and tips for achieving this position: Preparing the space : Choose a space that is comfortable and large enough to allow for movement. Make sure there are no bulky or dangerous objects around that could interfere with dancing or cause injury. Creating the Mood : Lap Dance is as much a sensory experience as it is a dance. Create an atmosphere conducive to seduction with soft lighting, sensual music and, if desired, pleasant scents. Choice of outfits : Clothing can play an important role in Lap Dance. Choose outfits that make you feel comfortable and add to the sensual aspect of the dance. This may vary depending on personal preference. Starting position : The partner receiving the dance should sit comfortably on a stable chair, sofa or edge of the bed. It is important that this seat is solid and offers good support. Starting the dance : The dancing partner usually begins standing in front of or next to the seated partner. He can then begin to move to the rhythm of the music, using fluid and sensual movements. Interaction and movement : The key to Lap Dance is the interaction between the partners. The dancing partner can move closer, further away, and use various movements, such as rotations, undulations, or tilts, to create tension and excitement. Respect boundaries : It is crucial to maintain open communication and respect each other's boundaries. Lap Dance should be a pleasant and consensual experience for both partners. Use of hands : The dancing partner can use their hands to accentuate their movements or to gently touch the seated partner, depending on the level of comfort and mutual consent. Maintain Eye Contact : Eye contact plays an important role in Lap Dance, increasing intimacy and connection between partners. Conclude the dance : End the dance in a natural way, gradually slowing down the movements and returning to a calmer, more intimate closeness.  Remember that Lap Dance is as much an expression of trust and complicity as it is a performance. The objective is to share a moment of closeness and pleasure, adapting to everyone's reactions and preferences.  Erogenous zones stimulated by Lap Dance The Lap Dance position, focused on seduction and eroticism, stimulates a variety of erogenous zones , both for the dancing partner and the recipient of the dance. Here are the main erogenous zones involved: Visual and psychological zones : Lap Dance strongly stimulates the visual senses and awakens the erotic imagination. The sight of the dancing partner, their movements and body expression can be extremely arousing. Genital and perineum area : Although Lap Dance is not primarily focused on direct genital contact, the proximity and movements can create indirect stimulation of the perineum and external genital areas, increasing sexual arousal. Thighs and inner thighs : The thighs, and particularly the inner thighs, are sensitive erogenous zones that can be stimulated by the touching and close movements of the dancing partner. Buttocks and lower back : The buttocks and lower back are also sensitive areas. Their stimulation can be done by caresses, light pressure or undulating movements of the dancing partner. Breasts and nipples : For women, stimulation of the breasts and nipples can be integrated into Lap Dance, either through movements that brush against them or through direct caresses, depending on the level of comfort and consent. What to explore the breast orgasm? Neck and nape : The neck and nape are highly sensitive areas. Warm breaths, light kisses or brushing in this area can be very arousing. Ears : The ears, often neglected, can be stimulated by whispered words, breaths or light touches, adding an auditory dimension to the experience. Hands and forearms : The hands and forearms can be involved in the dance, either by brushing against the partner or by being caressed by the partner, thus creating a tactile interaction. Lap Dance, by its very essence, is a dance that plays on anticipation and suggestion, thus stimulating both physical erogenous zones and erotic imagination. This combination of physical and psychological stimulation can make the Lap Dance experience particularly intense and satisfying. Integration of anal penetration into Lap Dance Lap Dance, with its intimate proximity and sensual movements, also offers a unique opportunity for the exploration of anal pleasure, an often under-exploited erogenous zone. Although Lap Dance is not traditionally focused on direct anal stimulation, the nature of its movements can indirectly arouse this sensitive area. For example, the dancing partner may use hip movements or undulations that brush against or exert light pressure on the seated partner's anal region. This indirect stimulation can be particularly arousing , due to the high concentration of nerve endings in the anal region. For couples who want to explore this dimension further, light caressing or gentle pressure around the anus can be safely incorporated into the dance. This can be done with the hands, fingers or even a part of the dancing partner's body, such as the thighs or pelvis. These gestures, when done with consent and communication, can add an extra layer of stimulation and intimacy to the Lap Dance experience.  In addition to indirect anal stimulation, Lap Dance can also be adapted to include anal penetration for the dancing partner, thereby enriching the experience with an added dimension of pleasure. This adaptation requires open communication, adequate preparation and mutual consent to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. In this variation of Lap Dance, the dancing partner can position their body in a way that allows easy access to the anal region. This can be done by adjusting the angle of his pelvis or using movements that facilitate gentle, controlled penetration. The seated partner can then actively participate, using their hands to guide the movement or by using sex toys suitable for anal penetration, such as an anal stimulator or a more classic, simple and effective vibrator . It is crucial to proceed slowly and carefully, especially if one partner is less experienced with anal penetration. The use of good quality natural water-based anal lubricant is essential to ensure comfort and fluidity in movements. Additionally, it is important to respect the body's signals and stop immediately if you experience pain or discomfort. We also invite you to use an anal relaxant to put all the chances on your side. This approach to Lap Dance not only allows you to explore anal pleasures, but also to strengthen trust and complicity between partners. By incorporating anal penetration into Lap Dance, couples can discover new ways to share pleasure and explore the limits of their intimacy . However, it is essential to remember that this practice must always be approached with respect, caution and particular attention to the safety and well-being of everyone. Assessment of difficulty and orgasm meter Difficulty: 2/5 Lap Dance is relatively accessible, with moderate difficulty. It requires a certain physical comfort but remains within the reach of most couples and its inclusive side, adapted to people with reduced mobility or same-sex couples, makes the position attractive to as many people as possible. And we really like that at Goliate! Orgasm meter: 3/5 Although its primary goal is not orgasm, Lap Dance excels at creating sexual tension and anticipation that can lead to more intense experiences later . By giving control to the person performing “the dance”, orgasm can still be achieved very quickly and optimally. In conclusion, Lap Dance is an expression of seduction that strengthens connection and intimacy in a couple. With good preparation, open communication and a little creativity, it can become a memorable and exciting experience , accessible and enjoyable for all partners, including those with disabilities. Did you know ?  Lap Dance, well known in the world of erotic dance and adult entertainment, has a history and applications that go far beyond this context. Did you know that Lap Dance has been used in couples therapy to strengthen communication and intimacy ? Indeed, therapists specializing in relationships and sexuality have sometimes incorporated Lap Dance into their therapy sessions to help couples overcome emotional barriers and strengthen their connection. This therapeutic approach to Lap Dance focuses on the aspect of non-verbal communication and trust. It allows partners to explore their limits, express their desires and strengthen their complicity in a secure and respectful environment. This practice has helped many couples rediscover the excitement and passion in their relationship, providing a fun and intimate way to reconnect.

How to overcome porn addiction?

Porn addiction isn't just about numbers or statistics; it touches the very heart of our intimacy, our relationships and our well-being. In this introduction, we lay the foundations for a caring and enlightened exploration, intended for all those who feel concerned, directly or indirectly, by this issue. Our objective ? Support you in understanding this addiction, by untangling the complex threads that link our behaviors to our deep needs, our fears and our aspirations. Beyond the challenges, it is really about freedom and fulfillment. The freedom to choose, to understand, and ultimately, to love oneself in a sexuality lived without constraints or guilt. Ready to start this journey? Leave your prejudices in the locker room and open the door to a new perspective on porn addiction, armed with curiosity, compassion and the sincere desire to understand. Together, let's explore the paths to a balanced and fulfilling sexuality, guided by the conviction that each step forward is a step towards oneself. What is porn addiction? Porn addiction, a subject often whispered about but rarely addressed with the depth and sensitivity it deserves, is at the heart of many personal and societal questions. Porn addiction occurs when the consumption of pornographic content takes over from daily activities, negatively affecting relationships, work, and emotional well-being . It is not so much the frequency of consumption that defines addiction, but rather the impact and emotional or physical dependence it causes. Where does this addiction come from? To understand the essence of this addiction, it is crucial to recognize the multiple facets that make it up. Often, it is rooted in a complex mixture of seeking pleasure, escaping reality, managing anxiety or loneliness, and sometimes, unsatisfied curiosity. The ease of access to this content online and the anonymity offered by the internet play a significant role in the equation, making pornography both ubiquitous and discreetly consumable. The impact of pornography on the brain Neurologically, porn consumption stimulates the reward centers of the brain, releasing neurotransmitters associated with pleasure, such as dopamine. This chemical reaction can create an addictive cycle, where the brain constantly seeks this stimulation to experience pleasure or temporary relief from emotional or psychological tension. How do I know if I'm addicted to porn? Identifying the signs of addiction is an essential step towards understanding and healing. These signs include increasing consumption of porn, to the detriment of other activities or interests, repeated and unsuccessful attempts to reduce this consumption, and negative repercussions on personal or professional relationships or on mental health. Show kindness to yourself and your partner Approaching porn addiction with kindness means recognizing the complexity of the human experience and the diversity of journeys. At Goliate, we invite you to explore this topic with openness and curiosity, remembering that every step toward understanding is a step toward yourself. Together, in a spirit of non-judgment and acceptance, we can begin the journey toward a healthier relationship with our sexuality. In this quest for understanding, let us remember that porn addiction, like any addiction, is a signal, not of weakness, but of a deep need seeking to be heard and addressed. By lifting the veil on this subject, we give ourselves the means to build bridges towards a balanced life, where sexuality occupies a healthy and fulfilling place. How to control this addiction? The first step toward controlling porn addiction is recognizing that it exists. This step, although seemingly simple, requires courage and honesty. Accepting that one can be dependent is not an admission of weakness, but an act of strength, the beginning of a constructive inner dialogue. Identify triggers Understanding what drives compulsive porn consumption is essential. Stress, boredom, loneliness, or even lack of self-esteem, the triggers can be multiple and deeply personal. Identifying them allows us to develop tailor-made strategies to confront and overcome them. Create new habits Replacing one habit with another, healthier and more rewarding one, is a proven technique in managing addictions. Whether through sport, art, meditation, or any other activity providing satisfaction and well-being, the idea is to redirect energy towards practices beneficial to the body and mind. You can also limit the consumption of films and try other approaches such as erotic audios which are all the rage with women. You can also read erotic books. In both cases, these practices use creativity much more and will allow you to create new habits. Discover your body differently You also have the possibility of learning to discover other erogenous zones of your body : caress yourself, your chest, your face, your buttocks... Discover other ways to gently take pleasure. There's even a word for it and it's slow sex . To start this practice, you can also use relaxing massage oil to allow you to discover your body and do the same with your partner. Consult a professional if necessary Sometimes professional help is needed to unravel the complex threads of addiction. Psychologists, therapists, or specialized counselors can offer personalized support, in a caring and non-judgmental environment. You can find sexologists accessible by video anywhere in France very easily. be patient The path to addiction control is often non-linear, strewn with successes and relapses. Arming yourself with patience and compassion towards yourself is crucial. Every day is a new opportunity for progress, every effort a step closer to freedom. Try Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT) CBT is an effective treatment approach that helps identify and change problematic thoughts and behaviors related to addiction. By focusing on current thought patterns, CBT encourages the development of strategies to manage temptations and build self-control. Obviously, it is the professionals in the sector mentioned above who are able to carry out these therapies. If you want to change, you can make it happen! As we navigated the twists and turns of porn addiction together, we explored various strategies and approaches to regaining control of our sexual and emotional lives. The importance of understanding the roots of this addiction, adopting healthy habits, and surrounding yourself with strong, caring support cannot be underestimated. At Goliate, we firmly believe in personal development through healthy and enlightened sexuality. Porn addiction, like any other form of addiction, is a complex challenge that requires compassion, patience, and perseverance. Breaking free from your chains is a personal journey, unique to each person, but it is important to remember that you are not alone in this quest.

For people who are not accustomed to sitting or curled up positions for long periods of time, the Lotus may initially cause some discomfort or muscle tension . It is therefore advisable to warm up slightly or practice stretching before engaging in this position. A sensual massage with natural organic massage oil to relax before starting? Coordination and balance The position also requires good coordination and a sense of balance between partners. Maintaining balance while managing movement can be tricky, especially if partners have very different flexibility levels or body sizes. This position can therefore be difficult to maintain comfortably for couples of very different sizes. Endurance and patience Lotus is not a position that favors rapid or vigorous movements, but rather slow and rhythmic exploration . This requires some endurance and patience, especially for the active partner supporting the weight of the receptive partner. This position can therefore be demanding in terms of flexibility and endurance, especially for the legs and lower back. Limitation of movements The Lotus offers less freedom of movement compared to other positions, which can limit the variety of stimulation. Creating the lotus: tips and techniques Here are some tips to help you perform the Lotus gently in order to get the maximum pleasure from it. Preparation : Start by relaxing and connecting with your partner. Kissing , massaging, taking the time to discover the body of others are all essential elements for setting the mood essential for the full success of the relationship to savor the moment. Positioning : The active partner sits cross-legged, while the receptive partner sits on their thighs, wrapping their legs around their back. Communication : Communicate throughout the duration to adjust pace and angle based on comfort and pleasure. Use of cushions : Cushions under the active partner's buttocks can provide a better angle and more comfort. Intimate lubricant : It is highly recommended to use organic intimate lubricant to facilitate penetration and increase sensations during intercourse. The pleasure will only be increased tenfold. Erogenous zones stimulated by Lotus The Lotus is a very well-known Kamasutra position which has the advantage of allowing the stimulation of several erogenous zones , in a fairly simple and very effective way. 1. G-spot : The angle of penetration is ideal for stimulating the G-spot . Use the back and forth motion to effectively stimulate the area. 2. Clitoris : The receptive partner can stimulate their clitoris against their partner's body or use sex toys and other clitoral stimulating gels . 3. Perineal zone : The proximity of the bodies allows mutual stimulation of the perineal zones, too often neglected. 4. Breast stimulation : This position offers the possibility of simply and very effectively stimulating the partner's breasts to provide an intense breast orgasm . Lotus difficulty level: 3/5 The Lotus is rated 3 out of 5 in terms of difficulty. As we saw previously, although it offers deep intimacy, it requires a certain flexibility and coordination on the part of both partners and is not necessarily suitable for all body types . It's up to you to test the different variations that seem best suited to your situation. You can also venture out to other, simpler positions to try. Lotus orgasm meter: 4/5 On the Goliate Orgasm Meter scale, the Lotus hits a solid 4 out of 5 .

In conclusion, Lotus is a Kamasutra position that offers a rich and intimate sexual experience. It requires some preparation and good communication, but the rewards in terms of emotional connection and physical pleasure are immense.

DOWNWARD DOG : the Kamasutra position to increase pleasure during cunnilingus

How to do it: The partner can opt for the traditional doggy style, with her knees and hands on the bed, or for the "buttocks up" version, with her chest and head on the bed. By opting for the "buttocks in the air" version, the partner can rub off more easily and therefore reach orgasm more easily. Place your hands on her hips, put your well- lubricated hand between her lips, and tell her how nice your hand feels between her legs. Get on your knees. Put your head between her buttocks, stick out your tongue and lick. Extend your tongue further to separate her lips. As you lick run your finger over her clitoris and stimulate her vaginal wall and G-spot with another. Lick, rub and stimulate until she reaches orgasm.     Where to do this position: The partner receiving the cunnilingus must stand on the edge of a bed, or a raised surface so that his partner can then kneel down and be directly facing his buttocks. The ideal is a soft mattress, so as not to irritate the hands and knees. The benefits of oral doggy style: By switching back and forth between doggystyle penetration and doggystyle cunnilingus, you can take a break and "calm down" when you need it, while still making her orgasm orally! This position also has the advantage of being a perfect transition to anal. Indeed, during oral doggy style you can easily set the stage for rimming. Attention ! Going from the vulva to the anus does not present any risk, but the reverse is not true! Indeed, going from the anus to the vulva / vagina risks introducing bacteria that could cause infections. If you absolutely want to go back to cunnilingus after rimming, clean your mouth. The disadvantages of oral doggy style:   Everything is reversed, so you have to take the hand. Be patient and don't worry if everything isn't perfect the first time.   The accessories you will need: A bed or raised surface. Difficulty level: 1/5 The oral doggy style is a relatively easy position to implement. Orgasmo-Meter: 4/5 A variant of doggy style and cunnilingus, which allows you to discover new sensations and play with new areas of your partner's body: orgasm is within reach! GOLIATE Council: Put a pillow under his belly for more comfort. The oral doggy style is the ideal position to stimulate the perineum during your cunnilingus. You can use your fingers, your mouth or a sex toy at the same time to give more pleasure. Unlike the "classic" cunnilingus position, it is easier to use a vibrator in this position.

Disadvantages of the 69 position The 69 position, although offering many advantages in terms of mutual pleasure and closeness, also has certain disadvantages that are important to consider: Concentration and distraction : One of the biggest challenges of 69 is the need to simultaneously concentrate on giving and receiving pleasure. This can be distracting for some, making it difficult to fully concentrate on their own or their partner's pleasure. Physical Comfort : This position may be physically uncomfortable or demanding for some. Maintaining the position, especially if prolonged, can cause tension in the neck, back or legs. Coordination difficulties : The 69 requires good coordination between partners. If partners are very different sizes, it can make the position awkward or less enjoyable. Breathing problems : Since each partner's face is close to the other's genitals, some may find it difficult to breathe comfortably, especially if one partner is actively involved. Lack of visual intimacy : Although 69 is intimate in terms of physical proximity, it often lacks eye contact, which is an important part of intimacy for many people. Hygiene : Hygiene concerns can be a disadvantage, especially if the position is spontaneous. Some may feel uncomfortable with the close proximity of the genitals and face without prior preparation. Difficulty reaching orgasm: For some, simultaneous stimulation can make it more difficult to reach orgasm, as they may be more focused on their partner than on their own sensations. It is important to note that these disadvantages can vary greatly from person to person and can be alleviated through good communication, mutual understanding of preferences and needs, and adaptation of position to maximize comfort and pleasure. . It is therefore up to you to adapt according to your partner. How to prepare for a good 69? Proper preparation for the 69 position is essential to ensure comfort, pleasure and safety for both partners. Here are some key steps to properly prepare for this position: Preliminary communication : First of all, talk with your partner. Talk about your expectations, your limits, and make sure you are both comfortable with the idea of ​​practicing 69. This is also a great time to discuss any hygiene concerns. Personal Hygiene : Good hygiene is crucial. Take a shower or bath before the act to make sure you feel fresh and clean. This can also be an exciting part of foreplay. Create a comfortable environment : Choose a place where you will not be disturbed. Make sure the room is a comfortable temperature and consider using cushions or pillows to support your head, neck, or other body parts. Using Lubricants : Even though 69 is primarily an oral activity, using natural, organic, lickable lubricants can be beneficial, especially if you plan to incorporate sex toys or if one partner tends to be dry. Positioning and comfort : Experiment with different positions to find the one that is most comfortable for both of you. You can try lying on your side with one partner on top of the other, or even use a seated position if that works better. Respect each person's rhythm : It is important to remember that 69 requires a certain rhythm and coordination. Start slowly and adjust your pace based on your partner's reactions. Pay attention to nonverbal cues : During sex, pay attention to your partner's nonverbal cues. This may include body movements, sounds or changes in breathing, indicating what they enjoy or what they find uncomfortable. Security and consent : As always, but it is worth remembering. Make sure both partners feel safe and have given enthusiastic consent for all sexual activities. Level of difficulty and adaptability of the 69: 3.5/5  Although the 69 is inherently attractive, it can present some challenges. Coordination and communication are essential to maintain the position comfortably. For beginners, it can be difficult to focus on both pleasure received and pleasure given . However, with practice, this position becomes easier and more rewarding, providing a deeply satisfying and connected experience. Which erogenous zones are stimulated in the 69 position?  The 69 position offers a unique opportunity to stimulate a variety of erogenous zones, which can greatly enrich the sexual experience for both partners. Here are some of the key erogenous zones that can be explored and stimulated in this position: Genitals : Obviously, in 69, the genitals are the main focus of stimulation. For women, this includes the clitoris , labia, and entrance to the vagina. In men, the glans, frenulum and shaft of the penis are highly sensitive areas. The use of a prostate stimulator during 69 practice also brings a real plus to male anal pleasure since the prostate (P point) is the equivalent of the G point. Anus and perineum : These areas, often neglected, are extremely sensitive and can be stimulated by light caresses, kisses or even light breathing. Anal stimulation can be particularly arousing due to the high concentration of nerve endings. Inner Thighs : The inner thighs are a major erogenous zone for many people. Gentle caresses or kisses in this area can increase arousal. Buttocks : The buttocks can be gently caressed or massaged during 69, adding an extra dimension of pleasure. Lower back and lower abdomen : These areas, although more difficult to reach in the 69 position, can be stimulated by caresses if the partners adjust their position slightly. Breasts and Nipples : For women, and sometimes men, stimulation of the breasts and nipples can be integrated by adjusting the position or using the hands. Little known, the breast orgasm is in fact a real source of pleasure that can be interesting to explore. Neck and ear area : Although less accessible in this position, kissing and light caressing on the neck and around the ears can be incorporated, especially if the partners change position slightly. It's important to remember that every person is unique , and what is a very sensitive erogenous zone for one person may not be so for another. Open communication with your partner about what pleases you is essential to maximizing pleasure in the 69 position. Additionally, being attentive to your partner's reactions and adjusting your techniques accordingly can make the experience more enjoyable for both of you. So don't hesitate to get out of this position to vary the pleasures and adapt to your partner's desires. Sexuality is infinite and each body is unique. Enjoy! Orgasm meter of 69: 3/5 On the Goliate Orgasm Meter scale, 69 stands out for its high potential to reach orgasm. This position, thanks to direct and simultaneous oral stimulation, offers a strong possibility of reaching peaks of pleasure. It is particularly effective for intense, reciprocal stimulation , although the need to concentrate on your partner's pleasure can sometimes delay orgasm. For people more sensitive to stimulation through penetration, this position may nevertheless prove less suitable for reaching orgasm quickly. In this case, it may be useful to add the use of some sex toys such as our G-spot stimulator or our contactless clitoral stimulator . Wow effect guaranteed! The 69, “a classic” to be transformed into a journey towards shared intimacy 69 is more than a sex position; it is a journey towards shared intimacy, a mutual exploration of pleasure and a celebration of trust and connection through the proximity it implies to the genitals. By choosing to experiment with 69, partners engage in a sensual adventure where pleasure is both given and received , creating a balanced and enriching sexual experience, where smell mixes with taste and touch. An exquisite adventure for the senses.

But what is average penis size (and how to get past it)

In a world where intimacy and sexuality occupy a central place in our quest for well-being, the question of penis size often emerges, surrounded by mysteries, questions and, sometimes, concerns. At Goliate, we understand that these questions go far beyond simple curiosity; they touch the very essence of our self-esteem and our capacity to experience and share pleasure. This is why we have decided to lift the veil on this delicate subject, by discussing with you, in a spirit that is both calm and educational, the reality surrounding the average penis size. Our objective ? Provide you with a reassuring and informed perspective , based on reliable data and a caring approach to sexuality. Because yes, it is time to deconstruct the myths and free ourselves from taboos to embrace a healthier and more fulfilled vision of our intimacy. In this article, we will explore together not only what studies and experts say about penis size, but also and above all how this issue influences our perception of sexuality and performance. We will offer you keys to understand why, ultimately, size should not be a source of concern, and how everyone can flourish in their sexuality, regardless of standards and comparisons. What is the “average size” of a penis? In our exploration of fulfilled sexuality, the notion of average penis size occupies a preponderant place, arousing curiosity, questions, and sometimes, concerns. At Goliate, we approach this topic with the goal of clarifying, reassuring and educating. The numbers on penis sizes Scientific studies offer us valuable data on the average penis size, indicating that when erect it is generally between 13 and 15 centimeters . However, it is crucial to emphasize that these figures represent averages and not ideals to be achieved. The importance of these averages must be put into perspective, because sexual satisfaction and fulfillment in intimacy cannot be measured in centimeters. The diversity of penis sizes is a manifestation of the natural variability of human anatomy, and each size has its place on the spectrum of normality. We are all different and the key is self-acceptance Celebrating body diversity is essential to cultivating self-acceptance and a positive body image. Pressure from media and societal norms regarding the "ideal size" can lead to unnecessary comparisons and personal dissatisfaction. At Goliate, we encourage everyone to recognize and appreciate the unique beauty of their body, regardless of external standards. Self-acceptance is the first step toward fulfilling sexuality, where trust and open communication pave the way for enriching intimate experiences. Penis size is just one aspect of sexuality. Reassessing its importance helps redirect attention to more essential aspects of intimacy, such as emotional connection, communication, mutual exploration of pleasure and erogenous zones . A more inclusive sexuality recognizes the richness of possible experiences and pleasures, well beyond physical concerns. Perception about penis size has an impact on sexuality Average penis size, although a simple aspect of our anatomy, is laden with heavy psychological significance. It is often seen as a symbol of virility, power, and ability to satisfy the partner. This symbolic charge can influence self-confidence and body image, crucial factors in the quest for fulfilled sexuality. It is essential to untangle these perceptions, often fueled by myths and unfounded comparisons, to reclaim a healthier and more authentic vision of our sexuality. Impact on intimate relationships Concern about penis size can have a significant impact on communication within a couple and the ability to experience fully satisfying moments of intimacy. When one partner feels concerned about the size of their penis, it can lead to a reluctance to talk openly about sexuality, for fear of judgment or inadequacy. This reluctance can, in turn, limit opportunities to share desires and fantasies, thereby reducing the couple's ability to explore new dimensions of their intimacy. Excessive concern about size can also affect self-confidence during intimate moments, leading to a less fulfilling sexual experience for both partners. Performance anxiety, fueled by these concerns, can decrease presence and engagement in the sexual act, thereby reducing the ability to feel and provide pleasure. Additionally, this focus on penis size can distract from the many other aspects of sexuality that contribute to a rich and varied intimate experience, such as foreplay, nonverbal communication, and the exploration of alternative pleasures. Regaining self-confidence by being original is the key In the quest for fulfilled sexuality and strengthened self-confidence, venturing into original practices can open new doors to intimacy and pleasure. Communicate crudely about your desires Dirty talk , or the art of erotic conversation, is a fascinating practice for intensifying desire and strengthening the emotional bond between partners. Talking about our desires, expressing in words what excites us, or recounting fantasies can not only increase arousal but also provide a space where size becomes a detail among the immensity of shared pleasures. This intimate communication invites a deeper exploration of each other's desires, strengthening confidence in oneself and in the relationship. Taking care of each other Foreplay and sexy couple massages also play a crucial role in building rich and satisfying intimacy. They allow you to slow down, focus on the present moment and explore each other's bodies with attention and devotion. These moments of mutual discovery are essential to create an atmosphere of desire and respect, where each caress and each kiss contribute to building a full and fulfilling sexual experience, far from superficial concerns. Test gentle practices Finally, slow sex , just like vanilla sex are approaches that favor the quality of the connection and the intensity of sensations over performance, offer a magnificent opportunity to rediscover pleasure in its purest form. This practice invites you to savor every moment, every touch, putting aside traditional goals linked to orgasm to focus on the sensual experience itself. Slow sex is a celebration of intimacy, where time seems to stand still, and the size of the penis loses all its importance in the face of the depth of the connection established. Use toys to compensate! But who says you have to make your partner cum with your penis? If you are uncomfortable with the size of yours, you can also use toys to take your partner to seventh heaven. Discover MyPleasure Plus which, thanks to the pleasure of uncompromising double stimulation, will allow you to do your partner a world of good. Designed for those seeking an intensified pleasure experience, this innovative toy promises a limitless exploration of satisfaction. Our rabbit stands out for its ability to simultaneously stimulate the G-spot and the clitoris, providing a symphony of sensations that lead to deep and memorable orgasms. Its ergonomic design and intuitive interface allow easy use, inviting you on a journey to the heart of pleasure, alone or in pairs. The key is to question the standards linked to penis size The key to transcending concerns about penis size and cultivating fulfilling sexuality lies in our ability to question established standards . These norms, often conveyed by the media, pornography and social discourse, shape our perception of masculinity and sexuality in restrictive ways. Questioning and challenging these standards is essential to deconstruct the myths around the "ideal size" and to recognize the harmful impact they can have on self-esteem and sexual satisfaction. By opening the dialogue about the diversity of bodies and pleasures, we can begin to see penis size as one natural variation among many others, and not as a criterion of judgment or sexual competence. At the same time, it is crucial to promote a new definition of normal that embraces all sizes, shapes and appearances, celebrating variety as an expression of natural beauty. This redefinition requires inclusive and caring sexual education , which plays a fundamental role in the formation of a healthy and balanced vision of sexuality. Education that values ​​diversity and teaches respect for self and others can radically transform the way we experience our sexuality. Remember, the most important thing is not the size, but the quality of the moments shared and the intimacy built with your partner. At Goliate, we are dedicated to helping you experience a fulfilled sexuality, full of discoveries and pleasures. Because, after all, a fulfilling sex life is a key component of a happy and satisfying life.

Understanding male anal pleasure Anal pleasure, far from being exclusive or deviant, is a natural component of human sexuality. In men, this erogenous zone, often neglected, is the seat of extremely sensitive nerve endings, capable of providing deep and varied sensations. The prostate , often nicknamed the male "P-spot" , plays a central role in this dynamic of pleasure. Located near the anus, its stimulation, direct or indirect, can open the doors to orgasms of an intensity and quality different from those known until now. Anal pleasure in men is not a myth, nor a practice reserved for certain people. It is an accessible reality, a facet of sexuality to embrace with confidence and enthusiasm. By lifting the veil on the mysteries that surround it, we hope to guide you towards a richer and more fulfilling experience, where male anal pleasure becomes an integral and enjoyable part of your sex life. Why try anal pleasure even if I'm straight? Anal pleasure, beyond prejudice, is part of a process of personal discovery and going beyond the limits imposed by standards. For the heterosexual man, opening up to this dimension of his sexuality means embracing a broader and richer vision of his erotic potential. It is recognizing that the male body is endowed with the capacity to experience pleasure in a diverse way, where stimulation of the prostate occupies a special place. The prostate, this discreet but powerful gland, is often compared to the female G-spot for its orgasmic potential. Its stimulation, whether done gently and carefully, can lead to orgasms of remarkable intensity, different from classic penile orgasms. These prostate orgasms , characterized by a particular depth and emotional resonance, open the door to a new dimension of male pleasure. But the benefits of anal pleasure are not limited to the strictly physical sphere. Venturing down this path is also an opportunity to strengthen communication and trust within the couple. It is an invitation to dialogue, to share one's desires and apprehensions, to build together a space of security and freedom where each partner feels valued and listened to.

Stunning pleasure: Discover the secrets of the Inverted Andromache

The inverted andromache, an exciting variation of the classic position, invites you to a new sensual exploration. In this position, the receptive partner is on top, facing away from their partner, providing a new perspective and increased control . This position is not only a physical exploration, but also an emotional adventure, allowing for deep intimacy and connection . The reversed andromache is ideal for those looking to renew their sexual repertoire and experiment boldly and creatively . Benefits of Reversed Andromache The reversed andromache offers several significant benefits. First of all, it allows deep stimulation and intense pleasure for both partners, thanks to the unique angle of penetration and the possibility of control by the receptive partner. This position also promotes better communication and emotional connection , as partners must be in sync and attentive to each other's needs and reactions. In addition, the inverted andromache allows you to explore different sensations, by stimulating erogenous zones that are not always accessible in other positions. It also offers a stimulating visual perspective for the active partner, adding an additional erotic element to the experience. This position can also be used to discover anal pleasure. Disadvantages of the inverted andromache The inverted andromache can have some disadvantages. It requires good flexibility and a certain level of physical fitness, which can make it difficult for some couples. The position can also be demanding in terms of balance and strength , particularly for the receptive partner who must hold themselves in position. Additionally, for beginners, it can be difficult to find the right rhythm and depth of penetration , requiring a period of adaptation and practice. Finally, this position may not be suitable for all couples, especially those who prefer a more passive or less physical approach to their intimacy. Preparing the space and atmosphere  Preparing the space is crucial to fully immersing yourself in the reverse andromache. Choose a comfortable and intimate place, with cushions or a cozy bed. The temperature of the room should be pleasant, neither too hot nor too cold. Dim lighting, perhaps with candles, creates a sensual and relaxing atmosphere. Music also plays an important role: opt for soft, haunting melodies that fit the rhythm and intimate nature of this position. Choice of massage oils, lubricants and accessories For the reversed andromache, select massage oils that awaken the senses and facilitate the sliding of the bodies. Oils with aphrodisiac essences such as ylang-ylang like our Aphrodisiac Massage Oil can increase arousal. Our 2in1 edible lubricant “ Le Couple Gourmand ” for a smooth glide will also allow you to go directly from massage to penetration , ultra practical! Accessories like feathers or blindfolds can intensify the sensations and add an element of surprise and exploration. Massage and stimulation techniques In the inverted andromache, the massage can begin with light caresses on the legs and move up towards the erogenous zones. Use fluid and rhythmic movements, in accordance with your partner's reactions. Explore different pressures and textures, and pay attention to the areas that provide the most pleasure. This position offers an excellent opportunity to stimulate often neglected areas , such as the lower back or thighs. Find more ideas for a real sexy massage on our blog . Communication and consent Communication is essential in the reversed andromache. Discuss your expectations, boundaries, and desires before you begin. Make sure both partners feel comfortable and excited about this exploration. Consent and comfort are essential for a fulfilling and safe sexual experience. Exploration and variety in the reversed andromache  Encourage exploration and curiosity in the reverse andromache. Don’t hesitate to change pace, intensity, and experiment with different movements. This position is ideal for discovering new ways of giving and receiving pleasure, breaking the routine and introducing excitement and novelty into your sex life, like the coital alignment technique for example? Difficulty level of the reversed andromache: 2.5/5 The reverse andromache, while extremely rewarding, presents a certain level of difficulty that requires coordination and flexibility. This position requires the receptive partner to maintain balance while managing the pace and depth of penetration. It's important to start slowly , making sure both partners feel comfortable and in control. Ongoing communication is essential to adjust and avoid discomfort. With practice, this position can become easier and provide a deeply satisfying and connected experience. Feel free to use cushions for extra support and experiment with variations of the position to find what works best for you and your partner. Stimulation of erogenous zones in the inverted andromache  The inverted andromache is particularly effective in stimulating various erogenous zones, providing a rich sensory experience. For the receptive partner, this position allows direct stimulation of the clitoris or perineum, depending on orientation and movement. The active partner, for his part, can experience intense stimulation of the glans or clitoris, depending on the configuration. In addition, this position offers easy access to the breasts , buttocks and back , often under-exploited erogenous zones. The reversed andromache thus encourages complete bodily exploration, allowing partners to discover new sources of pleasure and intensify their intimate experience. Orgasm meter of the reversed andromache: 4/5 In terms of effectiveness in achieving orgasm, the inverted andromache is given a rating of 4 out of 5 on the Goliate orgasm meter. This position, thanks to its unique angle of penetration and the possibility for the receptive partner to control the movement, offers strong stimulation of key erogenous zones. It is particularly effective for stimulating the clitoris and G-spot in women, as well as the glans in men. However, the need for good coordination and a certain level of fitness can sometimes make achieving orgasm a little more difficult for some couples, hence it does not receive a perfect rating. After sex: sharing and reflection After the experience, take a moment to share your impressions and feelings. This communication strengthens connection and mutual understanding, and paves the way for future enriching and exciting explorations in your intimate life. This article offers a comprehensive guide for those wishing to explore the reversed andromache position, with an emphasis on connection, communication, and shared pleasure.

Anal Pleasure: our complete guide to gentle exploration

In the infinite universe of sexuality, each exploration is an open door to new dimensions of pleasure, unknown territories where each sensation is a discovery , each thrill a revelation. Anal pleasure, often shrouded in prejudices and taboos, is nevertheless rich in the potential for deep and unexplored pleasure. At Goliate, we firmly believe that sexuality is a space of freedom and personal expression, where every curiosity deserves to be explored with respect, gentleness and open-mindedness. It is in this spirit that we approach the subject of anal pleasure, not as an ultimate challenge to take on, but as an invitation to discover another facet of our intimacy . Ready to explore new horizons of pleasure? Follow us on this journey where gentleness, listening and self-respect are the real keys to a fulfilling exploration. Preparation is the key to anal pleasure Approaching anal pleasure requires above all careful preparation, both physically and mentally. This essential step is the foundation of an experience that is both pleasant and fulfilling. Understanding and respecting the preparation process is essential to gently opening up to this form of pleasure, often surrounded by mysteries and prejudices. Relax to have a good time Relaxation is the key word when it comes to exploring anal pleasure. The sphincter, this powerful muscle which guards the entrance to our most secret intimacy, only opens fully in a state of deep relaxation. It is therefore crucial to create an environment conducive to relaxation , where time seems suspended, and where the body and mind can surrender to the experience without restraint. To do this, you can start your moment together by performing a sexy massage to create an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. Choose the moment wisely Choosing the right moment is essential: a moment where distractions are far away, where calm reigns, allowing total immersion in the present moment. Whether it's a quiet weekend or a relaxing vacation, the important thing is to feel safe, comfortable and free from pressure. Communication and consent Talking openly about your desires, fears and limits is fundamental. Whether the exploration is done solo or accompanied, giving yourself permission to discover this facet of your sexuality is an act of trust and self-acceptance. As part of a shared experience, dialogue with the partner is crucial to establish a framework of mutual trust, where consent and respect for others are essential. Gentle foreplay to promote anal pleasure Before venturing further, it is recommended to start with external stimulation to properly prepare for the anal act . Gently massaging the area around the anus, without pressure to penetrate, allows the body to get used to being touched in this area. Stimulating other erogenous zones , like the clitoris or penis, can also help relax the anal muscles, making the experience more fluid and pleasurable. Use toys dedicated to anal pleasure The exploration of anal pleasure can be greatly enriched by the introduction of sex toys designed specifically for this experience . These tools, far from being simple gadgets, are real allies in the discovery and appreciation of anal sensations. They allow a progressive, controlled and above all, adapted approach to each stage of your journey towards anal pleasure. Start with butt plugs Butt plugs are often the first step in using sex toys for anal exploration. Their ergonomic shape, designed for easy insertion and comfortable wearing, makes them an ideal choice for beginners. The widened base of the plugs ensures optimal security, preventing the toy from sinking too deeply. Using sex toys with a wide base If you don't have a plug on hand, you can dig into your toy drawer to choose a suitable sex toy . The main tip is to choose a toy with a base or feedback like our Rabbit Vibrator . Indeed, the suction power of the anus can be very significant so it is recommended not to use a toy without a wider base. With our Rabbit, you will be 100% safe for anal practice. How to practice anal according to the rules of the art? Definitely use lube The use of any anal sex toy should be accompanied by abundant lubrication. The lubricant facilitates insertion and makes the experience more pleasant and pain-free. Opt for water-based lubricants which are recommended when toys are used as a bonus. You can obviously use our natural lubricant which is completely suitable for anal use and use with toys. Hygiene is super important The maintenance and cleanliness of your anal sex toys are essential for anal use. Clean them before and after each use according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure an experience that is both safe and hygienic. Hygiene is also important in anal practice as such, a quick shower before taking action can be pleasant for you and your partner! Also, if you practice anal penetration, avoid subsequently practicing vaginal penetration because it could encourage the appearance of vaginal infections. If you still want to do it, change your condom between the two penetrations. And now is the time to remember that it is essential to protect yourself with a condom if you and your partner have not taken the necessary tests in due form. Discover anal sex but listen to your body By exploring together the delicate and deep contours of anal pleasure, we have lifted the veil on an often misunderstood practice, surrounded by mysteries and taboos. Far from being limited to a simple quest for new sensations, the exploration of anal pleasure reveals itself to be an intimate journey towards a deeper understanding of our body, our desires and our limits. We invite you to continue this exploration with curiosity and open-mindedness, remembering that the key to an enriching experience lies in communication, listening to oneself and others, and the adoption of safe and respectful.

Breast orgasm: complete guide to exploring breast pleasure!

In our infinite quest for pleasure and self-knowledge, there are territories of the body still shrouded in mystery and curiosity. Among them, the breast orgasm stands out as a fascinating enigma, often overlooked, but nevertheless well worth discovering! The breast orgasm, this symphony of sensations which originates in the heart of the chest, invites a delicate and deep exploration of our bodies. It reminds us that pleasure is not limited to the traditionally recognized erogenous zones , but that it is a holistic experience, capable of arising from every particle of our being. In a world where female sexuality continues to free itself from the chains of taboos and preconceived ideas, talking about breast orgasm is opening a door to a richer intimacy , to a more intimate understanding of what makes us tick. It means recognizing that the woman's body is an inexhaustible source of pleasure, whose secrets are just waiting to be revealed. What is breast orgasm? The breast orgasm, or the art of discovering pleasure through breast stimulation, invites us to rethink our approach to sexual pleasure . Traditionally, the quest for pleasure is often centered on the genital areas, thus obscuring the erogenous richness of other parts of the body . However, the breasts, and more specifically the nipples, are endowed with a sensitivity which can, under adequate stimulation, lead to orgasms of surprising intensity. But how can you have a breast orgasm? Scientific studies have shed light on how nipple stimulation activates areas of the brain associated with sexual pleasure , similar to those activated during genital stimulation. This discovery highlights the importance of considering the body as a whole when it comes to pleasure, reminding us that every inch of our skin can become a gateway to ecstatic experiences. Addressing breast orgasm is therefore inviting you on a journey of discovery and self-rediscovery, where curiosity and experimentation play a key role. It's about opening up to new dimensions of pleasure, by gently and attentively exploring our body's responses to different forms of caresses, pressure and stimulation. In short, breast orgasm is not only a path to unprecedented pleasure; it is also an invitation to rethink and enrich our relationship with our sexuality. By abandoning the beaten path to venture onto less explored paths of our intimacy, we give ourselves the opportunity to experience moments of deep connection with ourselves, thus revealing the true extent of our capacity to feel pleasure. The importance of the brain in sexual pleasure The brain, this complex and fascinating organ, processes the sensory information it receives to transform it into sensations of pleasure . When we talk about breast orgasm, we are referring to an experience where stimulation of the breasts and nipples sends electrical signals to the brain, which then interprets them as pleasurable, even ecstatic, sensations. Research has shown that nipple stimulation activates areas of the brain similar to those stimulated during genital arousal, highlighting the universality of pleasure and its ability to transcend physical boundaries. This discovery highlights the need to consider sexual pleasure as a holistic experience, where the mental and the physical intertwine in an inseparable way. Breast orgasm, in this context, is not only the result of physical stimulation; it is also the fruit of a mental disposition open and receptive to pleasure in all its forms. Approaching breast orgasm from this angle invites us to cultivate a deeper and more conscious relationship with our body. It is about recognizing and appreciating the capacity of our mind to amplify, modulate and enrich our experience of pleasure.** This awareness encourages us to explore our sexuality with curiosity, to experiment without judgment and to welcome the multiple facets of our desire. How to become a breast stimulation pro? The exploration of breast orgasm naturally leads us to the crucial question of stimulation techniques. How to awaken this often neglected source of pleasure? The answer lies in a gentle, attentive and exploratory approach, which takes into account the uniqueness of each body. Create a pleasant atmosphere Before diving into specific techniques, it's essential to emphasize the importance of atmosphere. For the experience to be fully satisfying, you must create an environment that invites relaxation and intimacy. Soft lighting, soft music, a pleasant temperature: all these elements help to prepare the body and mind for a sensory journey like when you prepare a little sexy massage as a couple . Set out to discover sensations Stimulation of the breasts and nipples can begin with simple caresses, exploring the surface with the palms of the hands or the tips of the fingers. This initial approach helps awaken the sensitivity of the area and prepares the ground for more direct stimulation. Using massage oils or creams can not only make contact easier, but also add an extra layer of sensation. The movements can vary in intensity and rhythm, ranging from gentle circular pressure around the nipples to more vigorous kneading of the entire breast. Stimulate the nipples The nipples, as nerve centers, play a key role in breast orgasm. Their stimulation can be done in multiple ways: light pinching, sucking, use of specific sex toys such as nipple vibrators or even feathers and other accessories to vary the sensations. Amplify breast pleasure with accessories The adventure towards breast orgasm is not limited to caresses and manual techniques. The world of erotic toys and accessories offers a range of possibilities to enrich and diversify the sensory experience. Judicious use of these tools can transform the quest for breast pleasure into an even deeper and more rewarding exploration. Nipple Vibrators Vibrators specially designed for the nipples are valuable allies in the stimulation of this erogenous zone. Their ability to provide targeted vibrations allows the nerve endings to be activated intensely, paving the way for new sensations and a potentiation of breast orgasm. If you don't have one on hand, you can also easily use clitoral aspirators to suck on the nipples and feel pleasure. Try nipple clamps For those who enjoy more direct stimulation, nipple clamps offer a unique pleasure experience. By exerting adjustable pressure on the nipples, these accessories can intensify the sensitivity of the area and increase the sensations during stimulation. It is important to start slowly and adjust pressure according to comfort and arousal level. Test the feathers Using feathers or other sensation accessories, such as soft whisks or brushes, can add an exciting dimension of foreplay. The lightness of caresses, contrasting with more direct stimulation, prepares the body for increased receptivity and can amplify the intensity of breast orgasm. Use massage oils Oils and creams designed to awaken the senses can also play a key role in exploring breast orgasm. Applied to the breasts and nipples, they can increase the sensitivity of the skin and enrich tactile sensations. Some formulations provide warming or cooling effects, adding an extra layer of sensory stimulation. Regarding Goliate products, we strongly recommend our edible massage oil which will be perfect for then kissing your partner's nipples. The key to achieving a breast orgasm is sharing! The exploration of breast orgasm can clearly become a shared adventure, enriched by the presence and participation of a partner . The first step toward successful shared exploration of breast orgasm lies in open communication and mutual consent. Discussing your desires, boundaries and expectations creates a framework of trust and respect, essential for a positive experience. It is in this secure space that the partner can become a true ally in the quest for pleasure. The experience of breast orgasm as a couple can be intensified by the synchronization of sensations: what if you tried this at the same time . One stimulates the nipples of the other and vice versa. If the nipples are too sensitive , you can also stimulate other erogenous zones in parallel, creating a symphony of pleasures that respond and amplify each other. Remember, the path to pleasure is as unique as you are. Take the time to discover yourself, cherish yourself, and celebrate every aspect of your sexuality. Pleasure is a right, a source of joy and well-being. Embrace it, explore it, and most importantly, share it.

The prejudices surrounding vanilla sex Despite its many advantages, vanilla sex sometimes suffers from a negative image, unfairly associated with a lack of creativity or audacity. This vision is reinforced by a society that often values ​​novelty and originality in all aspects of life , including in the intimate sphere.

Why practice vanilla sex? Opting for vanilla sex means choosing a fulfilling sexuality, where communication and mutual respect are essential .

To practice humping properly, it is recommended to use objects such as: an object with a soft surface such as a bolster, a pillow, a comforter rolled into a ball, the armrest of your sofa, still sex toys , The principle is to position yourself above the object in question and then rub your private parts against it. The aim is therefore to stimulate your sex, the clitoris in particular, through friction and without penetration. Practicing Humping as a Couple Who says that sexual relations in a couple have to be about penetration? There are various ways to give each other pleasure and humping as well as slow sex are excellent options. How to do it? For example, you can rub your private parts against your partner's skin. Here are some ideas: use your partner's leg to rub your penis against, you rub against your partner's hands, you rub against your partner's face, without him or her performing cunnilingus. As always, this practice should be carried out in an environment agreed to by both parties. Classic humping or dry humping? In general, you can get naked during this erotic practice . Sometimes, total nudity stimulates the libido and provides an even more pleasant sensation. If you are completely naked, this is the technique, then we speak of classic Humping. It is if you decide to do this fully clothed (which is a possibility), that we will talk about dry humping. The English word "dry" translates to "dry" in French. What is the reason for this name? Keeping clothes on while humping completely prevents any exchange of bodily fluids. This version of humping is very popular because clothes can be an additional source of excitement. To enhance the pleasure, you can wear clothes with a tight texture like jeans. But then, what are the advantages of sex without penetration? Practicing humping allows you to enjoy optimal sexual pleasure, without penetration. What are its benefits? A solution to certain sexual disorders For women who suffer from vaginismus , the practice of humping is highly recommended. The fact that they cannot stand the pain of penetration allows them to discover new things that do not prevent them from having a fulfilling sex life . Practicing this erotic activity is also very beneficial before sexual intercourse for women prone to vaginal dryness. It is an excellent way to get excited and promote lubrication of the sex . A way to explore your body Humping allows you to discover your body and explore your erogenous zones. This is very important if you want to have a satisfying sex life. Remember that this sexual stimulation technique can be practiced anywhere within the limits of legality of course. A way to avoid STIs and unwanted pregnancies If you bet on dry humping, you will also be protected from the risks of STIs or sexually transmitted infections. At the same time, you will avoid unwanted pregnancies: what a good idea when you don't want to take any risks. A way to discover new sensations Finally, the practice of humping allows you to discover new sensations if you are a sex amateur . It is a form of excitement that will not disappoint you.

Couples porn: so, shall we try?

In the complex and often misunderstood world of modern sexuality, one topic regularly emerges, sparking curiosity, debate and sometimes even controversy: the place of pornography in relationships. Long confined to the margins of society, perceived as a taboo or a solitary fantasy, pornography has, thanks to the advent of the web, managed to settle discreetly but surely into the daily lives of many couples. But what role does pornography really play in the intimate dynamics of a couple? Is it a window onto a world of erotic discovery and inspiration, or does it represent a source of misunderstanding and disillusionment? In this article, we will delve into the heart of this delicate question, exploring with an open and benevolent gaze the multiple facets of pornography as a component of the sexual life of couples. Pornography is gradually becoming part of our customs Pornography, once confined to the dark corners of discretion and taboo, has, over the decades, crossed the doors of couples' intimacy, thus transforming its perception and its role in modern love life. This evolution raises a fundamental question: how is pornography perceived and integrated into a couple's sexuality today? Porn: More Pleasure and Less Shame Pornography, once considered a solitary and sometimes shameful practice, has gradually gained a prominent place in the dynamics of couples. This change in perspective is partly explained by a better understanding and greater open-mindedness around sexuality in general. The advent of the Internet has played a key role in this transformation. The increased availability and accessibility of online pornography has helped to demystify its use and make it more easily integrated into couples' sexual practices. Porn to open up to new practices Far from being a simple source of visual pleasure, pornography has become for some couples a means of communication , a tool to explore and share desires and fantasies, often not expressed otherwise. By confronting the world of pornography together, couples can strengthen their erotic bond, learning to better understand and accept each other's preferences and limits. The perception of pornography in relationships is therefore a reflection of the evolution of mentalities regarding sexuality. By breaking the barriers of silence and embarrassment, it invites a common exploration, where discovery and sharing become the pillars of a renewed intimacy. The benefits of watching pornography as a couple? While pornography is usually controversial, when integrated into relationships in a healthy and consensual way, it can offer a surprising range of benefits. Let's look at how pornography, far from being a simple distraction, can enrich intimacy and complicity between partners. New things to try Pornography can act as a libido booster, introducing new ideas and erotic scenarios. For couples looking to renew their sexual repertoire, it offers a varied and dynamic source of inspiration. By viewing erotic scenes together, partners can explore previously unexplored aspects of their sexuality , opening the way to a richer and more diverse experience. It allows you to gently discover certain new practices, such as Kink Sex , the principles of submission and domination or even new positions. Sharing fantasies Shared pornography consumption can strengthen the bond between couples. It creates a space where partners can safely share and discuss their fantasies, strengthening their emotional connection. By doing this, it allows the start of communication about the fantasies and desires of both partners. Practicing pornography as a couple can help them accept and explore their sexual desires in a non-judgmental way. This mutual acceptance is essential for a fulfilling and satisfying sex life. Increased sexual satisfaction By incorporating pornography into their intimacy , couples can discover new ways to satisfy their sexual desires, potentially leading to greater satisfaction in their intimate lives. Pornography in a couple, when used thoughtfully and respectfully, can therefore prove to be a valuable tool. It not only promotes sexual discovery and fulfillment, but also strengthens emotional bonds and communication within the couple. Do not cross the red line in sharing this experience as a couple While pornography can enrich a couple's sex life in some ways, it is crucial to also consider its potential risks and consequences. Unregulated or poorly understood consumption of pornography can have negative impacts on the relationship. Relationship between porn and reality Pornography, often far removed from the reality of intimate relationships, can create unrealistic expectations and undue pressure, especially if one partner feels compelled to conform to standards or practices they see on screen. Idealized representations of bodies in pornography can negatively influence the perception that each person has of their own body, leading to complexes and a decrease in self-esteem. It is absolutely necessary to discuss this subject and to prefer platforms called ethical porn : this allows to have all types of bodies in the image, as well as healthier exchanges between partners on the screen. Ethical Porn Platform To be confronted with healthy pornography, that is to say, where the relationships of couples are fair and where the pleasures of the partners, regardless of their sex, are fair, we strongly advise you to test ethical porn platforms. Here are some examples: Climax: the Climax platform is above all an educational platform where you will be able to explore, as a couple, different types of pleasures. It is therefore mainly focused on sex education, through very suggestive videos or less so. It is clearly not a platform like the others, but we recommend it! MakelovenotPorn : this is the very first ethical porn platform that has existed for about ten years. The actresses and actors are fairly paid and the sexual relations are healthy, but always very hot since we are talking about a pornographic site here. Ideal to share as a couple. Olympe de Gê's films: Olympe is a French director and performer who has shot several ethical films and imagined the scripts herself. Her films are to be tested without delay . Beyond Porn: What Can You Try as a Couple? As part of a balanced and fulfilling sex life, it is essential to explore alternatives and complements to pornography . These options can enrich the couple's sexual experience by offering diversity and novelty, while avoiding the potential pitfalls of excessive pornography consumption. Erotic audios and podcasts We just wrote an article about the best porn audio and podcasts to listen to. But in broad terms, here's what audio porn can do for you: Developing your imagination: you only hear, so it is your imagination that is at work in these situations. The possibility of gently discovering new practices: in audio too, there are BDSM or anal penetration scenes, they are simply gentler to discover. And then you can clearly do this in a moment of sharing for two: you put on a little hot audio and during this time, you give your partner a suggestive massage with our massage oil for couples . Testing erotic literature Erotic literature, with its evocative power and linguistic richness, offers a stimulating alternative to pornography. Erotic stories can fuel the imagination and encourage a deeper exploration of desires and fantasies. So, are you trying porn as a couple? In this article, we navigated together the sometimes turbulent waters of pornography in relationships. We explored its sometimes bright, sometimes dark sides and tried to understand its impact on our intimacy and mutual connection. Pornography in a relationship can be a window into a world of discovery, a stimulant for the libido, and a catalyst for exploring shared fantasies. We hope that this article has enlightened you on the various aspects of pornography in couples and has given you tools to approach this subject with sensitivity and intelligence. But above all, we hope that these lines have encouraged you to dialogue, explore and grow together in your intimate journey.

This practice is Edging, a term borrowed from English literally meaning “to be on the edge”. But far from being a simple passing trend, Edging reveals itself as a profound exploration of sensuality and control, a delicate dance on the edge of desire. You may be wondering what makes Edging so special, why so many people are interested in it , and most importantly, how this practice could enrich your own secret garden.

Let yourself be tempted by this new practice and discover how Edging can transform the way you live and feel pleasure. Ready to explore the limits of your desire? Let’s lay the foundations: what is Edging? In the context of our intimacy, it is a practice where we flirt with the peak of pleasure, without crossing the threshold of orgasm, at least not immediately. Edging is this delicate art of maintaining this state of ecstasy which arrives just before orgasm, thus prolonging the experience of desire and increasing the power of the final orgasm tenfold. Concretely , the goal is to refrain from enjoying to stay in the so-called “pre-orgasmic” phase , in order to enjoy the pleasure longer. This practice presents itself today as a modern method to enrich the sexual experience, whether solo or as a couple: Solo, Edging becomes a form of erotic meditation , an opportunity to connect deeply with your body and its sensations. In the context of a relationship, it opens a space for communication and sharing, where each partner learns to read and respond to the other's signals, thus creating an extraordinary complicity and synchronicity. Edging is not only a method to intensify pleasure , it is also a path to better knowledge of yourself and your partner. Edging: why is it so good? When we explore the world of Edging, we quickly discover that its benefits go far beyond a simple intensification of pleasure. This practice, rich in nuances, offers a range of benefits both physically and psychologically, contributing to a deeper and more satisfying sexual experience. Exploring your body awareness One of the main advantages of Edging lies in its ability to reconnect us with our body . By practicing Edging, we learn to listen and interpret the signals that our body sends us , thus increasing our sensory awareness. This heightened sensitivity guides us toward a more intimate understanding of our desires and limitations, allowing us to experience pleasure in a more awake and conscious way. Increase your orgasmic sensations Edging transforms orgasm into a more intense and longer lasting experience. By delaying the moment of orgasm, we build up sexual energy which, when finally released, provides much more powerful and satisfying sensations.

Better control your excitement For those looking to improve their sexual stamina , Edging presents itself as an ideal exercise.

Each partner learns not only to give but also to receive pleasure in a more attentive and connected way. Edging to do alone or as a couple Edging, although deeply personal in its practice, comes in two enriching experiences: solo and as a couple. Each of these experiences offers a unique dimension of discovery and pleasure. Edging solo: learning to control your orgasm The journey of Edging often begins solo, where it transforms into an act of personal discovery and self-mastery. Practiced alone, Edging becomes a form of sensual meditation, a way to explore the confines of your pleasure, your endurance and masturbation . Solo Edging allows you to become familiar with your physical and emotional reactions to growing arousal. This is an opportunity to learn how your body responds to prolonged stimulation and how to manage the intensity of your desire. If you are a man, it can also allow you to become “multi-orgasmic” and increase your pleasure a hundredfold during intercourse. If you are a woman, practicing Edging by integrating the use of toys can also allow you to discover new ways to do yourself good. To practice this practice, we strongly recommend our clitoral stimulator . This practice helps you develop better endurance , allowing you to control and extend your pleasure sessions. This leads to more intense and satisfying orgasms, transforming each experience into a richer exploration of your sexuality. Edging as a couple: for a better connection at all levels When practiced as a couple, Edging becomes an intimate dance of communication and sharing. It is a joint exploration of the limits of pleasure, where each partner learns to read and respond to the needs of the other. Since Edging requires open and attentive communication. It is an exercise that strengthens complicity and connection, with each partner becoming more aware of the other's desires and limits. Edging as a couple allows you to discover new ways of giving and receiving pleasure. By prolonging arousal, partners share an intensified experience , resulting in synchronized, deeply connected orgasms. Edging: to improve your sexual health Edging, beyond being an enriching erotic practice, also offers significant benefits for sexual health. This subtle art of delaying orgasm is not only a path to more intense pleasures , but also a way to encourage better overall sexual health. Improved hormonal balance and well-being Impact on dopamine Edging, by delaying orgasm, plays with dopamine levels, the hormone associated with pleasure. This control can help balance hormonal responses, providing a more stable and emotionally satisfying experience. Stress and Anxiety Reduction Practicing Edging can be a great way to reduce stress and anxiety . By focusing attention on the present moment and bodily sensations, this technique helps relax the mind and body. Ejaculation control and duration of intercourse For people with penises, Edging can be particularly beneficial for improving ejaculation control . This practice helps increase stamina and extend the duration of sexual intercourse, thus providing increased satisfaction for all partners involved. A practice like Edging needs to be tested urgently! By exploring the different facets of Edging, together we discovered a practice that goes far beyond a simple method for intensifying pleasure.

No more taboo on female ejaculation!

The existence of female ejaculation is confirmed with certainty: YES, it is real. However, it often remains a taboo subject. Society has difficulty associating ejaculation with femininity, fueled by the erroneous myth that this emitted liquid is urine, which is absolutely not the case. It is common for women who ejaculate to feel a sense of shame. So it is essential to demystify this topic. By increasing the collective understanding of female ejaculation , we can pave the way for a more liberating and fulfilling sexual experience for many women. How does female ejaculation work? Female ejaculation is defined as the emission of a specific fluid triggered by a particular form of arousal . But what is the source of this mysterious fluid? The role of the Skene glands This fluid comes from small glands located between the vagina and the urethra, called Skene's glands or paraurethral glands . Discovered in 1877 by the Scottish-American gynecologist Alexander Skene, they are often referred to as the female prostates . Anatomically, they correspond to the famous G-spot . What's in this feminine fluid? Female ejaculate, thick and whitish, is released uncontrollably. Its quantity varies, but generally does not exceed a few milliliters. According to scientific analyses, it shares many characteristics with male semen, with the notable exception of the absence of spermatozoa . Its composition includes: Proteins, Fructose, Carnitine, Acid phosphatases. We can ejaculate and we can also… squirt! Female ejaculation is often confused with female fountaining . But they are two very distinct phenomena. The difference between the two phenomena Most women, especially those with G-spot sensitivity, can release ejaculate after intense arousal . However, the amount can be so small that it often remains unnoticeable. Conversely, only a few women experience the phenomenon of "fountaining", characterized by an abundant flow of liquid during or after an orgasmic period . This jet can reach up to 150 ml and is distinguished by its continuous flow. In other words, ejaculating does not necessarily mean being a "fountaining woman". Scientific analysis of the emitted liquid So far, researchers and gynecologists do not yet know the role of this fluid called squirt. The nature and origin of the fluid emitted by squirting women remains a subject of study. Analyses reveal that this fluid, called squirt, has no role in reproduction and is purely linked to female pleasure . It comes mainly from the bladder and its biochemical composition includes: Creatinine, Urea, Uric acid. It was concluded that squirt is essentially urine, although it is odorless, colorless and tasteless. What triggers female ejaculation? Female ejaculation is a complex phenomenon, triggered by a multitude of factors. Primarily, intense sexual arousal can cause a woman to ejaculate. However, achieving such a level of sexual arousal is not an exact science, but rather a complex dance with female pleasure . Stimulation of the G-spot , an erogenous zone located about 3 cm from the entrance of the vagina, on the stomach side, is often a key factor. This stimulation can elevate pleasure to unprecedented heights. Other women may experience ejaculation following clitoral stimulation , particularly those who experience clitoral orgasms . The pathways to female orgasm are as diverse as they are varied, manifesting in the forms of: Clitoral, Vaginal, Or mixed (clitoral and vaginal). Deep relaxation and mental letting go can also promote ejaculation. In a state of optimal relaxation and well-being, the woman is more inclined to feel sexual pleasure intensely . In short, the key to experiencing female ejaculation is relaxation and the ability to fully immerse yourself in each sexual sensation. The secrets behind female ejaculation There are many misconceptions about female ejaculation . It's time to correct them. Debunking preconceived ideas There are many myths surrounding female ejaculation . It's time to dispel them. Is ejaculate urine? Absolutely not. Ejaculate is a fluid similar to male semen , without the sperm. The amount varies from woman to woman, and may be so small that it goes unnoticed. Is ejaculation an indicator of female pleasure? The answer is twofold: yes and no. Female sexuality is so complex that pleasure does not manifest itself uniformly. For some, ejaculation may coincide with ultimate pleasure , and may even occur at the moment of orgasm. However, ejaculating mainly means that the woman is highly aroused. Why is ejaculation a source of discomfort? Ignorance surrounding female pleasure contributes to a negative perception of ejaculation, often wrongly compared to menstrual secretions, breast milk or urine. Female ejaculation vs orgasm The terms female ejaculation and female orgasm are not synonymous. Ejaculation does not guarantee the achievement of orgasm. Orgasm depends on a combination of physical pleasure and psychological conditions, such as the absence of stress or anxiety. Ejaculation, on the other hand, is a biological response to sexual stimulation. In women, it occurs after stimulation of erogenous zones and is particularly common during pleasurable sexual intercourse . It can occur with or without orgasm. On the other hand, ejaculation is a biological response of the body following stimulation. In men, it can occur: after an erection, male masturbation, an erotic dream. In women, ejaculation occurs after the erogenous zones are aroused. It occurs mainly during very pleasurable sexual intercourse . After ejaculation, you may or may not have an orgasm. Am I necessarily a fountain woman if I ejaculate? It is imperative to grasp the subtle but significant difference between female ejaculation and existence as a squirting woman. The act of ejaculating, in the context of female sexuality, does not automatically categorize a person as a "squirting woman." In the case of female ejaculation, the fluid emitted is the result of a biological process orchestrated by the Skene's glands , distinct and unique in its kind. In contrast, for a squirting woman, the fluid emitted has its origin in the bladder, consisting mainly of urine. This distinction is supported by scientific studies which have observed that, under the effect of sexual stimulation, the bladder of these women fills quickly, only to empty after the emission of the squirt, thus highlighting the singularity of this phenomenon. It is worth noting that it is entirely possible to moderate or avoid excessive squirting . A simple but effective practice is to empty the bladder before engaging in sexual intercourse, thus reducing the risk of uncontrolled release of fluid. It is also worth mentioning that stimulation, whether manual or oral, performed by a partner, can play a crucial role in increasing female pleasure . Where do I start to test? To determine whether you are experiencing female ejaculation or are actually a squirter, it is advisable to undertake a personal exploration through solitary sexual activities . This introspective process is essential to gain a deeper understanding of how your own body works and its unique reactions. Start by adopting a variety of relaxation techniques, in order to prepare yourself mentally and physically to fully welcome and feel pleasure. Afterwards, it is crucial to experiment with different methods of sexual stimulation, in order to discover the approaches that resonate most with your preferences and desires. Using sex toys , especially those designed for G-spot stimulation, such as specially curved vibrators like our little gem , can be particularly revealing. These tools allow you to explore the impact of stimulating this erogenous zone on your body, and to determine whether it triggers female ejaculation or leads you directly to orgasm. Using a female pleasure gel, providing hot or cold sensations, can also enrich the experience, amplifying the sensations and thus increasing the potential for pleasure.

Intimate caresses: a great way to feel good

If you want to take care of your vulva , you've come to the right place. The structure of your vulva is complex and designed so that the stimulation of each part provides pleasant sensations that promote arousal and libido . Now, it is time to learn how to properly stimulate the vulva before reaching penetration. Indeed, caressing a woman's intimate parts requires a certain know-how. And to achieve this, knowledge of the vulva is key and that is why we reveal to you the art of intimate caress in detail. Anatomy of the vulva The vulva represents all of the external genital organs of the woman including in particular: the Mount of Venus or pubis, the labia majora, the labia minora, the urinary meatus, the clitoris, the vestibule and Bartholin's glands. For women, the clitoris is also considered the "erectile" organ. Very sensitive, it has more than 10,000 nerve endings. It plays a crucial role in a woman's sexuality and its stimulation can provide intense pleasures, sometimes leading to orgasm. Proper stimulation of the clitoris also helps to promote vaginal lubrication , making penetration easier during intercourse .

Understanding everything about sexual breakdowns

Sexual dysfunction , a disorder affecting sexual function, does not only affect men. In fact, many women also experience similar sexual difficulties. A study conducted by Lilly Laboratories on the sexuality of the French reveals that 42% of men and 38% of women have already experienced sexual failure. This problem tends to increase with age. It is important not to panic when faced with these sexual dysfunctions because solutions exist. Exploring your sexuality can be an effective way to find answers and prevent these dysfunctions from affecting your life as a couple. Why can we have sexual breakdowns? Knowing the causes of your sexual dysfunction allows you to find the appropriate solutions. Here are the factors that can cause desire disorders. Stress It is the first enemy of a fulfilling sex life . Stress is a sneaky evil and it brings with it various psychological and physiological problems. It even promotes sexual disorders . First of all, stress causes significant mental concern. It leads to a lack of concentration that will harm your sexual activity: it can get to the point where it becomes impossible to have a pleasant time and be truly present during your intercourse. In cases of intense and chronic stress, other psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression can arise, which can trigger other harmful consequences for your relationship: difficulty letting go during intercourse , which prevents orgasm during intercourse, the probable inability to maintain an erection for long, loss of sexual performance or premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction or male impotence. You should also know that stress reduces the production of noradrenaline . However, a deficiency in this hormone leads to a decrease in arousal , which will deteriorate the quality of sexual intercourse. Organic causes of sexual dysfunction Did you know that some pathologies can cause sexual dysfunction ? By causing damage to the blood vessels, they generate a decrease in the flow of blood to the genitals. If you think you have a problem that is more serious than simple stress, we strongly recommend that you consult a sexologist or a doctor who can guide you. Erection problems can actually intensify the development of diseases. You may develop one of the following diseases: high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, increased blood cholesterol levels. Hormonal deficiency extends the list of organic causes of sexual dysfunction . The decrease in the level of sexual hormones causes, for example , male impotence, as does a deficiency in thyroid hormones, which will have the same effect. Finally, age is another factor that increases the risk of sexual dysfunction . If you are in one of these cases, we strongly recommend that you consult a sexologist to learn more about your problem. The Sexologues France platform brings together certified sexologists that you can consult by video or directly in the office! We recommend!

Improve sleep and promote relaxation A good night's sleep is an ally to have better endurance during your intercourse. If you do not sleep well, you can develop certain health problems, promote your stress and be more irritable. Lack of sleep, if excessive, can go as far as causing erectile dysfunction. So, improve the quality of your sleep! If you still need a few more hours of sleep, you can already use relaxation methods before your date or intercourse. Choose what will please you the most: the hot bath, the meditation session, the yoga session, massage, a little reading…. Increase excitement and reduce performance pressure Increasing arousal means increasing the intensity of desire and pleasure. The question is: how to do it? First, learn to manage your stress ! Some foods known for their aphrodisiac properties can also help you increase arousal, such as: chocolate, coriander, ginger, oysters, calf's liver…. In addition to all this, try to detach yourself from the result: it is not necessary to always be a good sexual "performer": in real life, it is not like in porn! The fear of not being able to satisfy the other sexually will automatically generate stress and therefore itself reduce your performance: it is a vicious circle from which you must try to escape to regain confidence in yourself.

It is important to make him understand that this breakdown was not a failure, neither for you nor for him, but that it can happen to anyone and that we must move forward, as a duo, to find adequate solutions. To approach the subject lightly, you can also use humor if it is too delicate for you to go straight. The most important thing is to talk, this will bring you closer together and allow you to boost mutual trust. This rapprochement will allow you to overcome the sexual breakdown together.

But then, have you already simulated it too?

Faking an orgasm is pretending to reach seventh heaven . It must be said that this is often the end result that we appreciate when we have sex . If you have already faked it, tell yourself that you are probably not an isolated case. A survey conducted by Amorelie, a sex toy brand, in 2022 reveals that 49% of French people have already faked an orgasm, 67% of whom are women. This practice raises questions: Why fake non-existent pleasure and what are the repercussions? Why do we choose to fake it during certain relationships? Although researchers have tried to identify the causes of orgasm simulation, erotic pleasures are difficult subjects to discuss. The reasons behind orgasm simulation remain complex and little discussed, and testimonies on this subject are rare. But here is some information that could enlighten you. Differences between men and women in orgasm simulation It is often said that the simulation of sexual orgasm is a woman's business. However, this is not entirely true since an Ifop study for the Online Séduction site in 2019 revealed that 42% of the men surveyed have already simulated. The question that arises is: why have so many men already simulated? It must be said that orgasm is always associated with ejaculation in men , that is a mechanical proof that pleasure has been achieved. But this is not entirely true since a man can reach ecstasy well before ejaculation. More precisely, he can have orgasms without having ejaculated and vice versa. For women, faking it is more accessible, since everything happens in what we send back to our partner. The recipe is simple: reproduce certain common reactions linked to orgasm, in particular screams and muscle contractions. Psychological and relational reasons First of all, it should be noted that orgasm is characterized by a peak of pleasure felt after stimulation of the erogenous zones . In women, the source of pleasure can vary since the female organism is quite complex. For example, orgasm can be clitoral: it is then caused by stimulation of the clitoris. If it is triggered by penetration, we then speak of vaginal orgasm . Some women also manage to come following simple caresses or even with anal penetration. But female orgasm can also be mixed, both clitoral and vaginal, or even produced only by G-spot stimulation. According to researchers, orgasm simulation has psychological reasons such as: the desire to protect one's partner and not hurt them, the desire to please or make one's partner happy, the desire to end unpleasant sexual intercourse, the lack of sexual desire, the inability to let go. And besides, the simulation of orgasm can also have relational reasons . Indeed, for some people, it is a way to show the attachment that he or she has for the other partner. They then let themselves be taken by the excitement and love felt during the sexual act . The simulated orgasm is then a way to please the other, or sometimes a fear of feeling judged. The simulation is therefore orchestrated by fear or following a feeling of insecurity. Pretending isn't great for our relationships Is faking an orgasm cheating? If you're asking yourself this question, it's because you feel guilty about doing so. In reality, faking orgasms is clearly not a good long-term option. The consequences of such a decision can be really unpleasant for you, your partner, and your relationship. Impact on trust and communication in the couple In most cases, sexual intercourse is supposed to give you intense pleasure. It occurs thanks to a mutual desire shared between two partners: the sensations of pleasure are supposed to be shared. Even if sometimes, you can also have maximum pleasure by practicing sex in a gentler way ( slow sex , circumclusion , etc.) If you are faking it just to shorten that intimate moment , you need to ask yourself some questions. The same is true if you are faking it out of compulsion just to meet your partner's expectations. In these cases, faking orgasm can actually be detrimental to the development of your relationship: it indicates a lack of communication and trust. You prefer to live in the illusion that everything is fine instead of acknowledging that there is a problem. Long-term effects on sexual satisfaction Looking for a satisfying and enjoyable sex life ? It's simply impossible if you're always pretending to feel pleasure that doesn't exist. Sex will become a source of frustration for you. Over time, you'll end up feeling cheated and jaded, especially when the situation repeats itself. What if we stopped pretending? First of all, you need to know that orgasm is not a must. So, put some trust in your relationships and stop faking it! To start and ensure that your intimate moments bring you pleasure , you can start by being honest. Tell your partner the truth! After all, sexuality should not be a taboo subject in a couple. On the contrary, it is the cement that will strengthen your relationship. So here is what you will need to do: Express your expectations and fantasies so that your next sexual relationship is perfect, Discuss together if you have any sexual dysfunction issues. Be careful! You have to approach the subject tactfully so as not to hurt your partner's self-esteem. He must not feel that he is a bad guy. Avoid talking about your past experiences or making comparisons, you have to talk about the present problem, and in a positive way. How to satisfy yourself and your other half to stop pretending? Here are some tips that will help you fully enjoy your intimate moments and avoid faking orgasm . Importance of knowing your own body Knowing your genitals , your erogenous zones and your source of pleasure is key to having more orgasms. But you also need to talk about it with your partner, hence the need to communicate well. He will then know better how to give you pleasure . You should also remember that vaginal penetration is the last step of a sexual act: your intimate moments can begin with foreplay and games to gently raise the temperature. They help to optimize desire and the level of excitement and promote the lubrication of the vagina , which facilitates penetration. Role of sex toys and aids You should also know that there are different ways to trigger orgasm. Instead of faking it, it is better to resort to these techniques. One of them is to use adult toys or sex toys to allow you to discover new ways to have fun. For example, you can try the clitoral stimulator and vibrator: you will love The Amazing ! It will allow you to reach ecstasy in no time. There are also products designed to remedy the problem of vaginal lubrication and it is strongly recommended to use natural lubricant . This increases the pleasure and perhaps even the duration of the relationship. Who knows, thanks to the lubricant, you may no longer need to pretend ! So, ready to be 100% honest with your partners? Faking orgasm happens to everyone and it's not the end of the world . But nothing beats honesty and sincerity because over time faking it could deteriorate your sexual satisfaction. It can also harm your relationship . Finally, being honest with your partner helps you let go . The inability to reach orgasm can actually be caused by: a psychological blockage, a lack of self-confidence, a communication problem. If you want to have a fulfilling sex life , bet on sincerity! Dare to talk about it with your partner so you no longer have to fake an orgasm !
