Be Frank About Your Sexual Past!!

The poll of more than 1,200 15 to 24-year-olds cited talking about sex lives as a signal that a relationship will last. Frank conversations about sexual infections and a person's sexual past is the key to a long relationship, says a new study.

According to the government-funded Populus survey, young people also consider it as a better sign of a relationship getting serious than meeting parents.

However, 73 per cent admitted that they did not talk about sexually transmitted diseases before having sex with a new partner and 30 per cent said they felt uncomfortable asking a new partner to use a condom.

The research, which was conducted on behalf of the government's 'Sex. Worth Talking About' campaign, provides a snapshot of the milestones that this generation thinks is important for a lasting relationship.

"These findings reveal much about the modern relationship game," the BBC quoted Dr Catherine Hood, spokesperson for the 'Sex. Worth Talking About' campaign as saying.

"While many young couples realize the significance of being able to talk openly about accepting tests for sexually transmitted infections, sheer embarrassment is preventing them from doing so, and potentially risking their sexual health as well as the future of their relationship," she added.

Satin ribbons, rope for great sex!!

Handcuffs, rope, leather belts and satin ribbons are some of the 'tools' you may require to tie up your partner – whether it is to a bed post or the leg of a table – it's all your choice. There are so many different ways to perform bondage that the combination's are virtually endless. Bondage may be as simple or as complex as you wish it to be.

Be honest with your partner

Discuss the topic and your intentions as frankly as possible. You love your partner and sex between the two of you is always great, but don't let your partner bamboozle you into something you are not yet ready for. Also keep the safety of your partner in mind. If he or she is allergic to certain things or has some fear, be gentle and understanding.

Warming up

For explosive sex, foreplay is mandatory. Therefore kiss and caress your partner and make her comfortable. Then assume the position you two have agreed upon and start with satin ribbons to tie up your partner. Continue kissing body parts and as your partner can't caress you back, she'll be aching to be as close to you as possible. For heightened pleasure, replace satin ribbons with rope. Tie up your partner's feet and hands and watch magic unfurl.

Blindfolded pleasure

A common practice, blindfolding your partner brings in another form of bondage as he/ she needs to trust you completely. Here you can stroke your blindfolded partner with food or ice or feathers and it can turn out to be guessing game.

Men Don't Forget Sexy Women For Long

Men who were shown full-body photographs of college-aged women who expressed cues of sexual interest or rejection, represented mixed sexual histories, and a capacity for varying degrees of sexually aggressive behaviour.

Throughout the study they were presented with previously viewed photos and new photos of the same women in which they communicated the opposite cue (e.g., rejection instead of sexual interest).

On an average, every man showed excellent memory for whether women initially displayed sexual interest or rejection, especially when she initially expressed positive sexual interest, was dressed more provocatively, and was thought to be attractive.



Lead author Teresa Treat observes, "Misremembering a woman's level of sexual interest could prompt some men to make an unwanted sexual advance and become frustrated when a woman doesn't respond as anticipated."

"Conversely, college-aged men who report more frequent serious romantic relationships with women show better memory for college-aged women's sexual-interest and rejection cues. This suggests that tracking and remembering a partner's emotions may play a role in the initiation and maintenance of a serious romantic relationship," she added.

The long-term significance of the findings will depend on whether the memory of sexual interest impacts the male's subsequent behaviour, experiences, and social decisions when cues of sexual interest are presented in a more lifelike manner.
