Birth Control – A Not-So-Fun Fundamental of Physical Intimacy
It starts with her alluring and curious glance at him. Her expression is full of desire with a soft inviting smile. He feels a rush of impassioned energy throughout his body as he approaches her. She has his full attention as he fervently extends his arms toward her. They warmly embrace, as he envelopes her body, caressing every sensual curve with his strong devoted hands. Their lips unite in delicious, passionate kissing, pausing momentarily as they excitedly unclothe one another.
The two adoring lovers become more aroused by the second, as their naked bodies entwine and his erection swells with intention. She suggests that he puts on a condom before they go any further. He suddenly stops with a regretful look on his face, stating that he does not have any condoms with him. He assumed she was “on the pill”, as it is generally the woman’s responsibility to deal with the issue of birth control. The frustrated lovers gaze at one another with much disappointment and dissatisfaction.
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.
