Improving sexual potential starts with eight basics

1. Have sex at least once a week

Studies show that having sex at least once a week can keep you away from illness and depression. It appears that reproductive stimulation makes the immune system more effective, relieves headaches and treats acne, and reduces pain in daily life.

2. Don’t be surprised by the lack of response

Contrary to popular belief, erections are not something a person can actively control, so fatigue and stress are the most common reasons for non-response. Statistics show that one in seven men (age 16 and older) will experience erectile problems at least four times a year.

3. Minimize distractions during sex

Watching TV in bed was recently voted the biggest libido killer.

The flickering bright spots on the TV screen will obviously make you sleepy, reduce your sexual sensitivity, and completely ruin your sexual desire for the entire evening. If you want to have better sex, turn off the TV and start.

4. Improve Your Orgasmic Potential

For better orgasms, exercise your abdominal wall muscles. Also known as the PC (pubococcygeus) muscle, this is what you use when you pee. All you need to do is stretch these muscles while you urinate, stop for a count of five, and then relax. Once you get the feel for it, tighten and relax 20 times a day (at your desk, on the bus, while watching TV), then gradually build up to 50 times a day.

5. Find the elusive G-spot

It's not that elusive if you know how to find it. The trick is to look for it during sex, which is when the G-spot will appear. Insert a finger into the vagina and advance about five centimeters to feel the front of the vaginal wall. When you feel a swelling of tissue, look, that's your G-spot.

6. Grasp the erotic areas of your body

Erogenous zones—the body's sexual sensors—are found all over the body, not just in the genital area. If caressed properly, these areas can give you the same stimulation during foreplay, sex, and even after sex.

7. Get regular health checks

Nothing can ruin your sex life faster than abdominal pain, premenstrual cramps, itching, and mysterious discharge. If you notice anything that worries you (even a strange smell), it's a good idea to get checked out by your doctor, even if you're 100% sure it's not an STD.

8. Change to missionary position (man on top, woman on bottom)

Improve the previous man-on-top position by straightening and tightening your legs while he lies between yours.
