What Can Orgasms Do
Our sexual attitudes are shaped by our parents, peer groups, media and teachers.
We all have views, thoughts, beliefs and attitudes about sex. Some people think that sex is something to be ashamed of; others are very open and comfortable about their sexuality. Some societies and some families are very comfortable talking about sexual matters while others prefer not to.
Our sexual attitudes are shaped by our parents, peer groups, media and teachers. Where you are born, who your parents and family are, your culture, religion and social circumstances will all have a profound influence on your sexual attitudes.
Your friends will be very influential in shaping your ideas about sex. They may be eager to pass on information – whether or not it is accurate! There is often great excitement and a sense of naughtiness about sex talk among teenagers, but there can also be pressure to have sex or to engage in risky sexual behaviour, which many young people are not ready for. Any form of taunting or bullying of a young woman with regard to sex can leave lasting negative sexual attitudes that can be hard to reverse.
Traditional and social media, play a huge role is shaping sexual attitudes and these days, young people have easy access to sexual information from all over the globe, some of it very explicit. This makes it very challenging for any young woman to find her own comfort level in the sexual world.
Social media poses real risks for some young people. Most young people know now that the social media is not private and that comments and photos must all be carefully considered before they are put online. But young people are still very vulnerable in the social media space. Young people are also vulnerable to exploitation by strangers on the web who attempt to trick them into sharing sexual information or meeting for sexual activity. Caution is important with any social media use.
It might be time to start saying “an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away” because besides feeling amazing, the Big O also has plenty of important benefits for the body, especially on your skin.
That elusive glow you’ve been chasing after? You just might see it in your reflection the next time you finish a spin in the sack!
Ever find that having an orgasm calms you down? You’re not alone. In fact, getting it on can actually help skin maintain itself. Planned Parenthood reports that in a 2000 survey, 39 percent of 2,632 U.S. women reported masturbating to relax.
Other studies have found that low levels of oxytocin in the bloodstream are correlated with high levels of stress, tension, and anxiety disorders. And when you’re stressed out, a big organ like your skin might take the hardest hit. Not only can stress trigger inflammation in conditions like rosacea and psoriasis, it can also trigger those oh-so-annoying breakouts we all experience.
