Sure, maybe you've had sex and maybe you've had an orgasm, but that doesn't necessarily make you an expert on sex. With so much to know, and so much new information about sex coming out all the time, how can you keep up? Well, here's a few points to help you keep you informed about some things you may not have known about sex.


Premature Ejaculation Also Happens
Almost as embarrassing as not being able to get it up, and even more common. Thirty percent of men are premature ejaculators, studies have discovered. You can learn to control ejaculation, though without diminishing -- try thicker condoms, kegel exercises, and the start and stop technique.

Multiple Orgasms Aren't Just For Women or Tantric Experts
Learning that orgasm and ejaculation are separate is the first step towards multiple orgasms. Multiple orgasms work by achieving orgasm without ejaculation, letting you orgasm over again without a recuperation period. While it isn't necessarily easy to learn, it is possible with a little work.

Average Penis Size is Smaller Than You Think
Most men are under the impression that everyone's penis is bigger than theirs. In truth, the average penis size is between 5.1 to 5.7 inches. On top of that, girth is more important than length to women as the nerve endings that matter most are located along the bottom third of her vagina.

Most Aphrodisiacs are Bogus
It seems like an obvious point, but still so many people buy products that are supposed to enhance libido, and are disappointed that they just don't work. Some objects or food are considered to boost libido due to its genitalia-like shape, such as rhino horn or oysters, while others for its exoticness, which includes strawberries or potatoes when they were newly discovered by Europeans. Spanish fly, one of the most popularly named of these so-called aphrodisiacs, does in fact cause a warming sensation in the body -- because it's causing bladder irritation.

There are some genuine libido booster products though. One of the very best is Alpha Male Plus. Benefits of taking Alpha Male Plus can include: longer, stronger orgasms, faster recovery time, and increased semen volume.

Having Sex is a Form of Exercise (Really)
Depending on how good you thought sex was as an exercise, the amount of exercise you actually get from sex can be surprising either way. It's possible to burn off about 100 calories an hour from fairly vigorous sex. This of course varies between individuals, because everyone burns calories at a different rate. But while you are in fact burning calories, it's not enough for sex to replace going to the gym.

There are Many Health Benefits to Sex
While it's widely accepted that sex is a great way to relieve stress, and thus is good for one's health, and as we stated above sex is a good way to burn extra calories, there's more to it than that. Several studies are currently being conducted that could prove that sex is good for our health. Some of these studies set out to prove the link between regular sex and: lower mortality rate for men, reduced rate of prostate cancer, as a way to combat depression, etc.

Seniors Still Experience Sexual Desire
While it may be disturbing to you to think about the elderly getting it on, it's a part of life. Men and women in their 60s, according to a study by The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) in 1999, still have sex. With so much focus on sexual enhancers over the years, it's made sex as you age all the more possible -- and pleasurable, especially considering you're free of worries about children running round the house (or making new ones).
