Why is Foreplay Important and How Can It Increase Pleasure?

It's all about the sexual response cycle—a series of physiological changes that occur during sexual arousal. The cycle consists of four phases: excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution. Each stage follows the other, and the next one cannot begin until the previous one has finished. Foreplay makes subsequent sexual practices more enjoyable. Some types of stimulation will be painful if the person is not aroused. These include, for example, touching the nipples or the clitoral glans. Preliminary caresses also affect emotions. For instance, kissing triggers the release of oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. They reduce the level of cortisol—the stress hormone—and enhance feelings of attachment and euphoria.

Achieving Maximum Sexual Pleasure

According to scientists, to achieve maximum pleasure, it is necessary to be aware of your presence in real life, not to hide your secret erotic fantasies, and to be honest with your partner. The authors also advise communicating more often with your partner, as this is the foundation for trustful relationships. Such an approach ensures a normal psychological state, which plays a key role in obtaining sexual pleasure.

How to Recognize a Regular Meditator in a Crowd?

No, there is no halo! It happens that people who meditate make annoying mistakes in communication. We can get angry, offended, and behave unfairly despite regular meditation practice. And that's normal. We are all human. The only thing is, when you practice regularly, you start to perceive the world around you differently. That is, the world remains the same, and so do the people, but you have changed. Over time you notice that you become more forgiving, kinder, and more delicate, and you try not to offer unsolicited advice. Meditate and try practicing loving-kindness outside of meditation. Just because!

Tell your partner: 'I need to understand where our relationship is going. I am not ready to remain in a state of uncertainty.' 4. Give yourself time and space.

Don't Blame Yourself

Don't blame yourself. You would never have ended up in a pit if you had done nothing. Or you would have worked so slowly and uniformly that the likelihood of mistakes would have been minimized.

At the moment it is very hard to endure, but later you will realize that it was necessary.

There is no sense in jealousy. Total control has never protected anyone from anything. You can read your partner's messages, call unexpectedly, conduct interrogations with intensity, and still be cheated on if they want to.

No one can be controlled one hundred percent. So is it worth tyrannizing your loved ones with your jealousy and limiting their social circle? You need to give the person you love as much freedom as they need. And if they abuse your trust, there is only one way out - to leave them.
