10 Tricks to a bigger orgasm

10 Tricks to a bigger orgasm
ANI | May 5, 2011, 12.00am IST
While majority of couples wish to have extended massive orgasm (EMO), not everybody comes down to experiencing these repeated orgasmic waves.

Lovers experiencing one of these massive orgasms have reported enjoying more of life's joys in general, becoming nicer and more generous in their relationship.

An EMO can last minutes or hours, offering up blissful sensations at increasing intensities, reports Fox News.

And here are the tricks of this tantalizing trade:

1. Truly recognize your pleasure
You want to immediately approve of your present sensations. This starts before you even get in the sack by overcoming anxieties you have about sex. This may require identifying limitations you've been taught about sex, like how you're supposed to respond (or not respond). You need to then challenge any social conditioning that impedes upon your response.

Ridding yourself of the uninvited "others" in your bed will enable you to solely focus on the orgasmic sensations, including ones that come from simply anticipating action.

2. Learn to relax
Lovers have the tendency to tense up during sexual excitement, which is not conducive to extended orgasm. You need to be able to surrender your nervous system during genital stimulation. It's this letting go of tension that allows you to embrace your pleasure.

3. Get in the know
The more we know about our bodies, sex, and sexual response, the better we can recognize sensations, the more we can lose ourselves in them. Become knowledgeable about sexual response, sexual anatomy, and erotic techniques.

4. Give yourselves time for pleasuring
Lovers may stimulate each other by fantasizing out loud, taking your time getting to the genitals and hot spots. Teasing allows for greater energy awareness and arousal, and these are what make the experience ultimately so mind-blowing.

5. Touch for pleasure
You can show your partner that you are into the moment by informing them about what you are going to do so he or she can surrender more easily. Highlighting a lover's physical responses further enables them to tune into the sensations.

6. Learn to channel your energy
You want to get out of your head, directing your energy to your groin. This will make for more explosive results, plus help you to further tune into your sexual response.

7. Become an effective communicator
To amplify things up, you may need to request changes that will intensify your pleasure if you're the receiver. As the giver, you may need to ask for feedback or direction. In either case, asking for more will help you to feel more. Giving approval can do wonders for a lover's ego.

8. Develop your pelvic floor muscles
Exercising your pubbococcygeus (PC) muscle will put you more in tune with your sexual response. It's also what makes for more powerful orgasms.

9. Have plenty of lubricant handy
As you will be loving for the long-haul, make sure you avoid the friction, pain, and discomfort that can result from working each other raw by using lube.

10. Do away with any drive-thru mentality
Having an EMO isn't like going for fast food. One can't go into it thinking instant gratification. Instead, approach it as though training for a sport.

When orgasm becomes a disorder...

When orgasm becomes a disorder...
Lisa Antao | Apr 29, 2011, 12.00am IST

Most probably, one must have read about pleasure, in context of a woman during sexual activity, only in books and popular culture. But, do you feel like you have always hit a roadblock because you're unable to climax? Do you fake it because you don't want to hurt your partner's feelings owing to his inability to help you feel fulfilled? Do you feel irritable or depressed because of this, that sex is a mundane mechanical activity for you? Or perhaps, you have lost interest in making love and avoid it simply because you know that you are not going to achieve your peak anyway? If your answer is yes to any of the above questions, you're experiencing Female Orgasmic Disorder, also known as Anorgasmia.

Definition
Sexologist Dhananjay Gambhire says, "Female Orgasmic Disorder is the persistent or recurrent inability of a woman to have a sexual release after adequate arousal." He says that it can be primary (a woman has never had an orgasm till day) or secondary (acquired after trauma - present for a considerable period of time), and can be either general (always present) or situation-specific (with specific sexual partners or specific place).

Causes
Being mentally active in sex is as important as being physically skilled. Consultant psychiatrist Vasant Mundra says, "Many women don't know their own bodies. Even those who do, are too shy to express their desires. Dryness due to menopause or other hormonal causes too can lead to difficulty in climaxing. Certain medications, apart from physical exhaustion, debility or sleepiness, can also inhibit a woman's ability to do so. Women suffering from depression will have a low libido, and will fail to climax."

He explains that one common reason is performance anxiety. This pressure inhibits a woman from enjoying the act. She often ends up faking it just to make him stop. Sexologist Mahinder C Watsa says that one of the causes of Female Orgasmic Disorder is weak interpersonal relations with one's husband, which leads to a feeling of hopelessness and failure. The wife may blame the husband for his inability to bring it about and the husband believing it, so distancing himself from the relationship.

Dr Gambhire says traumatic experiences might contribute to this syndrome. Also, emotional abuse, fear of pregnancy, fear of rejection by partner, relationship problems, guilt about sexual pleasure, cultural beliefs about sex are also contributing factors.

Effects
It can cause unhappiness in both partners. Couples may want to avoid sex so as not to face up to this again and again. A woman may end up being irritable or depressed. This often leads to misconceptions, misunderstandings, frustration, stress and depression too.

Coping
Female Orgasmic Disorder is a sensitive issue, which if untreated can severely affect a woman's relationship with her partner. The first step should be educating yourself on this issue. A proper consultation with a sexologist is important, the reason for the disorder should be found and treated at its best. Counselling, psychotherapy and sex therapy are used - often along with directed exercises to increase stimulation and decrease inhibitions - either for the individual or for the couple.

Secrets of the female orgasm revealed: Scientists discover new hope for women who can't climax

Secrets of the female orgasm revealed: Scientists discover new hope for women who can't climax
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 9:09 PM on 12th May 2011
Scientists have discovered the female orgasm leads to an altered state of conciousness that could help the minority of women who can not climax.
Researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands unwittingly stumbled across the results after they examined the brain scans of women taken while they orgasmed.
The team noticed that an area of the brain, known as the orbitofrontal cortex or OFC, switched off when the women climaxed.

Orgasm: It is hoped the new research will lead to a cure for women who can not orgasm
It is estimated that one in four women in the U.S. has had difficulty achieving orgasm in the past year, while between five and 10 per cent of women suffer from anorgasmia and can not climax at all.
Speaking to New Scientist magazine, researcher Janniko Georgiadis said the OFC may be the basis for 'sexual control', and that by 'letting go' women can induce orgasm.
He said: 'I don't think orgasm turns off consciousness but it changes it.
'When you ask people how they perceive their orgasm, they describe a feeling of a loss of control.'
'I'm not sure if this altered state is necessary to achieve more pleasure or is just some side effect.'
To create the scans, Dutch researchers strapped the women into an MRI scanner and then allowed their partners to pleasure them to orgasm, all the while taking snapshots of their brain activity.
It is hoped that by comparing the brain scans of women having an orgasm with those who cannot, scientists will be able to 'coach' those with anorgasmia into truly 'letting go'.
Kenneth Casey at the University of Michigan explained that people who suffer from chronic pain conditions can be coached to relieve some of their symptoms by altering how they thought.
Experiments proved that when people watched real-time video of their rostral anterior cingulate cortex - the site of their 'pain' - they were able to reduce their symptoms by mentally adjusting it and watching the results on screen.

Snapshot: This MRI image shows a female brain during orgasm. The dots represent blood flow to different parts of the brain, with cooler colours representing less while reds and yellows representing more
Mr Casey said: 'The placebo effect is an easy example of practical top-down control.
'You believe you are taking a pill that will help and somehow it does.
'In my experience, simply telling a patient that the pain they are experiencing is not harmful has an analgesic effect.'
It is hoped that by allowing women with anorgasmia to watch their brain activity in real time, they to will be able to 'train' their brain to copy the same activity of women who can experience orgasm.
Barry Komisaruk from Rutgers University in Newark also conducted experiments into the female orgasm.
He added: 'Orgasm is a special case of consciousness.
'If we can look at different ways of inducing orgasm, we may better understand how we can use top-down processing to control what we physically feel.'

Nvunda Tonet lança livro em Benguela

Nvunda Tonet lança livro em Benguela
Intitulada Psicólogos porquê e para quê, a colectânea de Nvunda Tonet resulta de um estudo minucioso que visa responder às inquietações de muita gente sobre a pessoa, função e utilidade de um psicólogo, um fenómeno que ainda se revela bastante discutido e controverso entre a maior parte dos angolanos, principalmente quando se trata de um psicólogo clínico, conforme frisou o próprio autor, que, desta vez, escolheu a província de Benguela pararealizar o lançamento da segunda edição da obra, nesse Sábado, 30.

No entender do autor, as causas dessas controvérsias devem-se ao facto de Angola ainda ter um índice de pessoas, diga-se, letradas, que é suplantado por uma população consideravelmente analfabeta.

A selecção junta 29 temas de índole psicológica, publicados por Nvunda Tonet na coluna “Psicologia & Você” do Jornal Folha 8, perfazendo, deste modo, um livro de 135 páginas, mais 10 do que o da primeira edição, lançado oficialmente em Portugal e depois em Luanda e Huambo (Angola), respectivamente a 10 de Novembro e a 5 de Dezembro de 2010.

Temas como a violência Doméstica, o papel da psicologia na sociedade e a comunicação nas relações conjugais, bem como o vaginismo e o aborto, para além da propagação da religião na sociedade actual, encerram o pensar de Nvunda Tonet, cujo objectivo acima referenciado é a única meta a atingir. Apesar de ser uma obra com inclinação puramente científica, o psicólogo poupa na linguagem técnicocientífica, reservando para o leitor um linguajar bastante acessível.

Vale lembrar que o lançamento e a consequente sessão de autógrafos, em Benguela, terá dois palcos, nomeadamente o pólo universitário Jean Piaget, localizado no conhecido bairro da Nossa Senhora da Graça e a portaria da Rádio Morena, na rua Aires de Almeida Santos, nos dias 30 de Abril e 1 de Maio de 2011, respectivamente.

SOBRE O AUTOR
Nvunda Will Sérgio Tonet é licenciado em Psicologia Clínica pela extinta Faculdade de Letras e Ciências Sociais da Universidade Agostinho Neto e mestre em Novas Tecnologias Aplicadas à Educação pelo Instituto Universitário de Posgrado (Madrid Reino de Espanha).

O Ex-docente da Universidade Lusíada de Angola (cadeira de Dependência Química), é actualmente professor das cadeiras de Métodos de Observação em Psicologia Clínica e Psicologia Clínica Hospitalar na Universidade Óscar Ribas e trabalha no Hospital Psiquiátrico de Luanda, além disso de colaborar no Portal de Psicólogos de Portugal. Ele exerce ainda o cargo de editor de Cultura no Semanário Folha 8, onde assina a coluna Psicologia & Você. Enquanto activista cívico, Nvunda Tonet, entre muitas actividades de militância nessa área e diversas participações na vida social, coordenou, em 2007, um programa na Rádio Luanda sobre Educação Cívica para a Juventude. Organizou, a 13 de Outubro de 2009, o primeiro Workshop de Saúde Mental “Conhece-te a ti mesmo”, na Universidade Óscar Ribas. Por outro lado, diplomou-se em Psicoterapia Sexual pelo Instituto Paulista de Sexualidade (São Paulo – Brasil) em 2010. Tem preferência pela saúde mental e por temas da sexualidade, assuntos largamente abordados neste livro.

Entenda relação entre disfunção erétil e cardiopatia

Entenda relação entre disfunção erétil e cardiopatia
A disfunção erétil atinge de 5% a 10% dos homens ao redor dos 40 anos


A disfunção erétil é a dificuldade de manter a ereção peniana que proporcione uma relação sexual satisfatória. Além de ser um problema sexual, pode ser um prenúncio de um problema muito mais sério como infarto cardíaco e cerebral.

A disfunção erétil atinge de 5% a 10% dos homens ao redor dos 40 anos. De 40% a 60% dos homens com cerca de 70 anos sofrem de algum grau de disfunção erétil, ou seja, o envelhecimento aumenta a chance do problema.

Novos estudos publicados no Jornal do Colégio Americano de Cardiologia, em janeiro deste ano, confirmaram a associação entre disfunção erétil e doença cardiovascular.

De acordo com o autor do estudo, Andre Araújo, a disfunção erétil aumenta o risco em 40% de desenvolver de doença cardíaca, independentemente de outros fatores já bem conhecidos como aumento da idade, hipertensão, diabetes e tabagismo.

Outros estudos já haviam apontado a disfunção erétil como um sinal precoce de problemas cardíacos no futuro, ou seja, anos antes de um infarto o homem apresenta sinais de disfunção erétil.

Em um estudo conduzido em Minnesota, nos Estados Unidos, com 1.402 homens, este risco foi 80% maior em comparação com pessoas sem disfunção erétil. A evidência surpreendente deste estudo foi demonstrar que homens com disfunção erétil aos 40 anos têm risco ainda maior de doença coronariana no futuro.

Esta cada vez mais claro que entre outros aspectos relacionados a disfunção erétil como diabetes, altos níveis de colesterol, obesidade, tabagismo, pressão alta, uso de medicações, ansiedade e depressão, estão ligados às patologias do envelhecimento e aos baixos níveis da testosterona livre no homem.

É importante saber que, para uma longevidade saudável no homem, a potência sexual deve ser valorizada, como questão de saúde e não apenas como questão de vaidade masculina. Como observamos o organismo esta todo ligado, ou seja, problema sexual também pode indicar problema cardíaco.

Masturbarse mejora la actividad sexual

Masturbarse mejora la actividad sexual

"Si existe una palabra que genera rechazo es la masturbación, a pesar de que constituye en la mayoría de los casos el inicio de la actividad sexual y de que se continúa realizando a través de toda la vida"


Esa afirmación la hace la doctora Aminta Parra, especialista en terapia clínica y sexóloga, quien además refiere que la masturbación constituye un arma terapéutica fundamental en el tratamiento de la disfunción orgásmica y vaginismo en la mujer, en la eyaculación precoz y disfunción eréctil en el hombre.

Muchos mitos existen alrededor de la misma, el acné juvenil, los pelos en el centro de la mano, el insomnio, supuesta debilidad mental, la ocultación de su práctica por culpabilidad, etc.,

Ella, junto con su colega Rubén Hernández, sostiene que son creencias que aún persisten a pesar de su reconocida falsedad. "Otros piensan que existe un número ideal, y que por ejemplo al llegar a la masturbación 100 se caerá el pene o el clítoris. Eso es falso. Lo cierto es que Kinsey demostró en sus libros en l948 y l953 que aquellas personas que tenían un patrón de masturbación más sano tenían un mejor ajuste sexual en su vida de pareja posterior".

Explica que se ha tratado de cambiar el nombre por "auto ejercicio de la función sexual", "hacer el amor con uno mismo", "auto estimulación sexual ", pero ninguno ha calado en el medio.

La masturbación no produce ningún tipo de daño físico o mental. "Por supuesto que tenemos casos compulsivos en niños con retardo mental o en adictos sexuales, por ejemplo, cuando la frecuencia es muy alta (3 veces por día, para señalar una cifra). Si podemos decir que hay un patrón normal de frecuencia, practicarla 2 a 3 veces por semana en condiciones de paz y tranquilidad son hasta beneficiosas para mantener una homeostasis sexológica".

En la mujer por razones socio culturales el problema de la mitología es aún mas grave "perder la virginidad"," culpa religiosa o moral" , "temor a hacerse daño" , "lesiones en el clítoris por presión excesiva", "uso de objetos penetrantes" son frecuentes motivos de consulta.

Una mujer con dificultades para alcanzar el orgasmo, debe lograrlo primero con una estimulación suave de su clítoris, bien lubricado, y en condiciones de relajación, utilizando fantasías consensuales.

Las técnicas combinadas con la pareja, que ambos especialistas han diseñado como 1, 2, y 3, consisten en que el hombre se masturba delante de su pareja, luego lo hace la mujer y finalmente lo realizan mutuamente. Para ello hay que conocer bien a la pareja, su capacidad de relajación, su lubricación, la velocidad, la presión, el tipo de movimiento, la aceptación del vibrador, etc. Prácticas como los juegos sexuales, competencias, uso de objetos, estimulaciones inadecuadas son también frecuentes", dicen.
