Lost your va-va-voom during lockdown? We’re here to help. Whilst the
pandemic saw many of us become a dab hand in the kitchen baking endless
amounts of banana bread, it also spurred a lack of motivation in other
areas of our homes, namely the bedroom. To help you out, we sat down
with sexpert Kate Moyle who answers your most intimate questions as well
as our sexual wellness edit to help you get your mojo back.
WHAT IS SEX?
The term is commonly used by medical professionals, sex experts and
everyday people in day-to-day conversation. But while everyone agrees
that sexual intercourse is a type of sexual activity, the consensus on
what it means stops there. Some people think only penetrative
penis-in-vagina sex counts as sexual intercourse. After all, that’s the
historical definition. But is it still classed as sexual intercourse if
the man doesn’t ejaculate? And what about blow jobs or cunnilingus, do
they count as sexual intercourse? How about anal sex and heavy petting?
And what if the people having sex don’t have a penis and a vagina? Is
the sex lesbian, gay and same-sex couples have not classed as sexual
intercourse?
What is the G-Spot?
“The G-Spot is a more sensitive area or 'zone' on the anterior wall of
the vagina. It's not an anatomical structure, but a part of the clitoral
network and can be effective in creating pleasure and helping women
achieve orgasm when stimulated.”
Do I need to clean my sex toys?
Yes, toys should always be cleaned after use to ensure no bacteria
from bodily fluids is left behind. Using unscented or antibacterial
soap, like you would on your body, is sufficient to clean sex toys; just
make sure that they are dried and stored afterwards.
Since having my baby nearly a year ago, I do not want to have sex. How
do I get my libido back?
Work on spending time with your partner, focusing on touch and
sensuality, without the pressure to have intercourse; this can trigger
desire. It is important to remember that sexual experiences do not have
to involve intercourse to be valid and pleasurable. Our massage candles
are the perfect touch to get intimate again with your partner.
