Staying Juicy! Maintaining a Youthful Yoni
Women tend to spend a lot of time and money on skincare. We want our skin to look youthful, supple and smooth. The key to younger healthy looking skin is sufficient moisture. In humid tropical climates, our skin naturally looks and feels healthier, and the women of the tropics generally look much younger than those who live in dryer climates. That is why it is so important for us to stay hydrated and keep our skin properly moisturized.
Most women purchase expensive anti-aging skin products to moisturize their face and body, but what about moisturizing their vaginas? Yes, I did say vagina.
Weekend Forecast; Wet or Dry?
A woman’s body can be just as unpredictable as the weather. When it comes to preparing for sexual activity, sometimes women can become naturally lubricated fairly easy – other times it can be quite difficult. It is important to engage in plenty of foreplay to encourage emotional connection and physical arousal. However, there may be times when a woman remains uncomfortably dry despite the best efforts of her partner to stimulate the receptive area. It can be embarrassing, inconvenient, and even painful if you don’t have a ‘back-up’ personal lubricant handy. Using a lubrication product can be fun and stimulating, especially when you introduce it into your foreplay. You’ll enjoy applying it on one another, adding a slippery pleasurable prelude to intercourse.
What causes a woman to produce natural lubrication at certain times and not others? We women know that during our ‘younger’ years, vaginal dryness is generally not a problem. When we become sexually aroused, our natural lubrication increases significantly in preparation for easy penetration. Located just inside the vaginal opening are numerous glands within the labia minora, or inner lips, which secrete these lubricating fluids. This is a very sensitive area with high concentrations of blood vessels and nerve endings. Deeper inside the vaginal canal are the microscopic Bartholin’s glands which also release lubricating fluids. Approximately two weeks after menstruation, production of these fluids normally increases with a noticeable discharge from the cervix. This produces a mucous during ovulation to support potential conception.
Struggle with Sexual Satisfaction?
Why is it that some women struggle with attaining sexual satisfaction? Why do some women have difficulty achieving orgasm? It has been reported that over 50% of women have some concerns about their sexuality and are not completely satisfied in this area. Most women have a sexual ‘problem’ at some point or other in their lives. Some issues are short-term, and some may be long-term concerns. As women get older, or have been in a relationship for a long time, some women may feel a lack of interest in sex. Perhaps they have less sexual desire and fewer fantasies, or maybe feel reluctant to engage in sexual activity because of certain insecurities or hang-ups about physical intimacy. Most of these issues generally boil down to issues in personal relationships and emotional components which, in turn, dictate how comfortable you are with your own sexuality.
A sexual ‘problem’ could be anything distressing for you and/or your relationship with a partner. However, if you perceive a symptom that doesn’t necessarily trouble you or your partner and puts no strain on your relationship, then it is not considered a sexual ‘problem.’ A lack of interest in sexual intercourse is not necessarily a cause for alarm, as there are many other ways to enjoy intimacy and connection. But if your partner desires sex much more often than you and you are simply uninterested and fake your way though for appeasement purposes, it will affect your relationship on many levels. It is important to be true to yourself and have a mutually enjoyable sex life.
