!b! The best approach to solving most sexual problems is:
$1
!n! an understanding, by both partners, how male & female reproductive systems work
a willingness to talk openly & honestly
$1
!i! It's as simple as that!!
!n! Authors & broadcasters have made themselves rich by producing an exhaustive supply of media on sex-related subjects.
Much of this is preoccupied with the importance of achieving {orgasm} & places too much emphasis on the purely physical aspect of sex. Openness about sex encourages people to discuss problems, which previously have been kept secret. Although mainly beneficial, it can be harmful if the person's fears are exaggerated by unrealistic expectations from sex.
It's estimated that 50% of couples suffer some form of sexual problem some time in their relationship. Nearly everybody has occasional worries about sexual performance. Usually it's {psychological} & due to a simple lack of communication or misunderstanding. Many problems occur simply because the partners cannot openly communicate their feelings or desires.
It's such a provocative subject (especially for the male ego), partners often find it very difficult to discuss sexual matters in the bedroom. !i! 'Good lovers' !n! aren't born, it takes time & practice. Unless you're fortunate enough to be {psychic}, the only way to find out what !i! your !n! partner likes & dislikes, is by asking them.
Vague experimentation can be a turn-off, or even painful to your partner, so ask the vital question: !i! "what do you want me to do, what do you like?" !n! Striving to perform better sexually will not help. Striving to have a better relationship & talk more openly will. A better relationship comes from better understanding of each other & one anothers' sexual needs.
You can start by trying to reduce {anxiety} & embarrassment of bedroom encounters by openly talking, even crack a joke to 'break the ice.' Sex is an intimate sharing, physically & emotionally, but there is no reason why it cannot be relaxed & fun!!
Your partner is probably just as anxious, & breaking the ice will work wonders. Sex with someone new for the 1st time is !i! always !n! clumsy, everyone is different & you'll have to adjust to their likes & dislikes. A frank discussion is therefore essential. It may not be appropriate on the 1st occasion, but soon afterwards.
