Top 10 fascinating facts about the biology of sex that you may not have known

Feminism in sex 

Last but not least, feminism also plays a role in sex! This does not refer to who is in control, but rather emphasizes that sexual activity should be based on equality. If you have ever heard the myth that women do not become aroused as quickly as men, it is completely false! Both women and men are naturally designed to reach peak arousal in just 10 minutes. Women may take longer to become aware of their arousal, which typically happens when they are close to reaching their peak. Men, on the other hand, are more attuned to their arousal. Cheers to feminism!

The role of your immunity 

When a group of men are asked what they find most attractive in a woman, they may mention things like a 36-24-36 hourglass figure, long shiny hair, big eyes, or pretty eyelashes. None of them would likely consider the role of the immune system in the mating process. Your immune system actually determines your unique scent, or aroma, without the use of body spray or deodorant. This scent is what attracts a compatible partner to you more than anything else, as it is unique to each individual based on their immune system. Olfactory nerves are most sensitive to the smell of genetically diverse DNA, so the more different two people are, the more attracted they will be to each other. This supports the idea that opposites attract, even scientifically. Additionally, the more diverse the DNA of the parents, the stronger the immunity of the offspring will be.

Pregnancy and orgasms 

There is a common misconception that pregnancy cannot occur without full intercourse. However, it is possible for a female to become pregnant before the male has ejaculated or reached orgasm, even with the use of protection. This is because males release a pre-ejaculate during foreplay that contains a significant amount of sperm, up to 40% of what is produced in the male body. It is important to be aware of this fact and take necessary precautions to avoid any unwanted pregnancies.

 Additional health benefits 

In addition to reducing stress levels and balancing body hormones, sex offers various other health benefits. It can even help regulate the female menstrual cycle. Contrary to common belief, irregular periods are not caused by having sex. Irregular menstruation typically occurs when stress hormone levels are high, or when a woman is sleep deprived or has gained weight. Sex can help regulate these factors by reducing stress hormones in the female body. A study found that women exposed to male sweat were calmer and experienced fewer issues with their monthly cycle.

The hair and body spa treatment 

Engaging in sexual activity can be likened to a high-end beauty treatment at a luxurious spa. Both partners enjoy themselves, but women also experience a boost in estrogen levels. This hormone not only enhances their appearance, making them look healthier and more radiant, but also improves the texture and quality of their skin and hair. This is why women in fulfilling relationships often have a noticeable "glow" - it's all thanks to their satisfying sex lives. This is not just a myth!

Porn for animals 

Many believe that Homo sapiens evolved from apes. It may seem strange to think about our supposed "ancestors" watching pornographic content, but it's true! Monkeys were recently the focus of a study where they were given the choice between photos of female monkey bottoms and fruit juice. The monkeys chose the photos! This demonstrates that basic needs and desires are similar across species. Love is the universal language among all living beings.

Disgust- related feelings 

No offense intended, but individuals searching for their true soulmates often find the concept of sex to be repulsive and unpleasant. Initially, it may appear unhealthy and unhygienic, especially when engaging in sexual activities with multiple partners, as it can increase the risk of transmitting unwanted bacteria and viruses. However, once arousal sets in, the feeling of disgust diminishes. People are willing to overlook any initial feelings of disgust in order to experience the incredible sensation of arousal. It is completely normal to find sex disgusting in any other context!

Keep track of your menstrual cycle 

The main purpose here is not only to prevent pregnancy, but also to understand a woman's natural desires and needs better. A woman is more inclined to want intercourse when she is ovulating, aligning with Mother Nature's intention to increase the likelihood of pregnancy. So, be cautious if you wish to avoid the risk of babies, not rabies.

 The duration of “The Act” 

Did you believe that couples actually go at it all night, engaging in wild, passionate lovemaking? Well, that's a myth! The actual act of sex typically lasts less than 10 minutes. Once the man is aroused, he may not be able to have sex again for 2-3 hours. The extended duration of sex is mainly due to foreplay. Of course, other kinky activities may also be involved.

Masculinity and potency 

What is the first thing that every girl would desire in a guy? A deep, husky baritone that would give them goosebumps and make them excited on the phone, right? However, some of you may disagree after reading the rest of the explanation. Traditional signs of masculinity may not necessarily indicate higher levels of testosterone in men. This means that even though you may prefer men with deep voices, they may actually have lower fertility rates compared to men with higher-pitched voices. Men with higher-pitched voices tend to have higher sperm density. So, it turns out that male opera singers may actually have a better chance of fertility than macho male gym trainers, for example. So, next time you judge a man based on his voice, think again!
