Alas! My final blog for class, at last I'm finished!

I just wanted to say that I did enjoy researching and posting these "Sexology 101" blogs and I hope that you've learned from them as much as I did.

But all in all, what I've learned is that arrogance and sex do not go hand-in-hand. So let's not get cocky (pardon the pun) because when we get cocky we forget the real reason for sex - it's not a race, it's not a competition, it's not an obsession, it's not ego booster, and it's meant for you and your special somebody. Trust me, if you keep in it in that light, your sex life will improve.

Don't be selfish in the bedroom, think of your special somebody first, it's never too late or too old to woo somebody into the the bedroom even if it's the 100th time with the same person, and learn about yourself and your partner, read books, go to the self-help sex section and if anybody gives you the evil eye return them the evil finger, it's for YOU and your special somebody everybody else can just kiss your ass.

And sex IS and important part to a meaningful relationship nobody how old or inexperienced you are so make the best of it.

Again, I hope you've learned as much as I have from these blogs and remember, sex is for you and that special somebody. That's that.

Sincerely yours,

Gould

Sexology 101 - Andropause (What the heck is this?)

Andropause is also known as the "mid-life" crisis in men. As for women it's called menopause and there is plenty of information on the internet about menopause.

Males between the age of 45-55 go through this stage of "I'm over the hill" "I'm losing it" "I can't hack it anymore." and retaliate by buying expensive cars, screwing a young Blondie, or dying their hair . . . at least that's how I see it.

But what actually happens? Is it mental or biological?

The truth is, it's actually biological. Men between the age of 45-55 will begin to make less and less of Androgen, a male hormone. This is can determined by simple blood test.

Also, not every guy goes through this, the actual percentage is in the ballpark of 30%-40% of males.

This as an effect on men's relationships with their partners. They don't understand their bodies and don't understand their emotions, thus neither do their partners. This leads to frustrations and encourages the male to go out and seek his own contentment whatever it may be.

Some suggestions are:

Share your experiences with your family and close friends.

Talk to your doctor, ask for a simple blood test called a bioavailable testosterone level. If indicated, start on testosterone replacement therapy. This could be a body cream, gel, patch, pill or injection.

Exercise regularly, foot to ground exercise such as walking, running.

Reduce alcohol intake and stop smoking.Eat healthy, reduce fats and sugars.

If overweight, lose weight gradually through diet and exercise.

Reduce your stress levels.

So, old lads! Don't you worry, it's normal. . . Just talk with a doctor before you buy an expensive sports car or try to pick up a young Blondie!

Sexology 101 - The number of partners make you a better lover?

This is something that guys usually bring up, "I fucked 18 girls in the last 2 years!" They use women as a conquest, trophies, another notch in the belt. But if these guys told every woman they were about to score that she's just to serve as an ego booster in front of their friends and her name will be replaced by a number, I highly doubt that she will still consent to sex, who would?

So let's bring it out in the open, does a higher number signify a better lover? Will it increase you from a 6 to 7 on the love-making scale?

Want to know what I think? I think it's bogus! I know a guy who is only 20 years old and had sex with 19 women. Also, I know another guy who is 23 but has only had sex with 3 women. Guess who literally got the most action? Man # 2.

The first guy just had sex with each woman once or twice and if he got really lucky, he had sex with them 3 times. But for the sake of argument I'll round this up to 5 times each woman X 19 women = 95 times. Remember, I'm going way over for man # 1. But the most he could of had sex is 95 times.

Meanwhile guy # 2 was in 3 long-term relationships. His first partner was a high school sweetheart. They had sex regularly for 2 years. His next partner was an old college flame who he was with for 2 years and had sex regularly during those 2 years. And now he is engaged to be married to a woman he has been with for the last 3 years and has had sex regularly with her. There is no way I can even begin to count but let's suppose he had sex twice a month, that totals to over 180 times. THAT IS TWICE AS MUCH AS GUY # 1!

So do the number of women we score necessarily signify us as better lovers? I don't think so.

Sexology 101 - Is it a marathon to reach your sexual peak? Who is lucky, men or women?

Is it a marathon? Is the one who gets theirs first the lucky one? Well , that's debatable. . . but biologically men get theirs around the age of 18 meanwhile women get theirs around the age of 28. Which is better?

Let's take a look at this, where are men at age 18? Usually they're in high school, college, or living at home partying on days that end with "Y". Any one of them call for a chance to be around women, and are prone to situations where they'll be able to snag a lady here and there. So for men, the age benefit is where they are in life, in a social climate where access should be made easier.

Now for women, being at the age of 18 you are surrounded by sex-starved men who think with two heads, one on the shoulders and the other in his pants... at times it could be fun, but then again, I can imagine it'd be a pain in the ass to shake men off their tail every weekend. But look at it this way, at age 18, men should hypothetically be in heat 24/7, after all they are peaking, right? So when a woman wants sex, all she has to do go find a peaking young man and that's that. She can get hers whenever she wants, even though it may not be her peak.

But then again, when she turns 28, her male counterparts have tamed from their carnal urges and she may have to fend for herself from time to time. I can imagine that this would suck especially after being spoiled to the stand-by shag men of their younger days. Which is better?

Then again for men at the age of 18, they'll too be frustrated in their quest to get some tail because women aren't on the same page as they are.

But when women do get their share of men, at age 28, hopefully the lucky guy will be a little more experienced and knows how to tango better than the rookie who's locked up in the bathroom with a copy of Penthouse and thinks cumming is a race.

However, at age 18, as men gain experience they can mold the inexperienced to their liking if the relationship blossoms.

Hmm... which is better? Really, it's up to you, as for me, I'm just happy I've got a peak!

Sexology 101 - Sex Around the World!

As I was doing research for this blog assignment I came across an interesting article that compares the sexual performance of different countries from all around the world... take a gander at how these countries do.

"Every day 120 million acts of sexual intercourse take place around the world - resulting in 910,000 conceptions. On average, it lasts 21 minutes in the UK, compared with 17 in Germany, 14 in Italy and 10 in Thailand (where they do it quickest). The Brazilians, who average 30 minutes, are the world's sexual gold medallists (although 44 per cent of Brazilian women confess faking orgasms). "

"The revelations can be unflattering: 46 per cent of American women think a good night's sleep is better than sex. They can be disturbing: 23 per cent of Germans are sexually stimulated by underarm odour. And they can be upsetting: in Egypt, 80 per cent of women suffer female genital excision,although it is banned by law."

"Other stereotypes are dramatically confirmed. Gallic pride is unchallenged, with the French having the most sex of anyone in Europe, doing it more than 130 times a year. Apart from the Irish, women from Finland, Denmark and Iceland are the most sexually advanced in Europe: on average, they lose their virginity at 16, and by the age of 18 around three-quarters of them are having sex. "

"Britain has more teenage abortions than any other county in Western Europe, with 20 per 1,000 women aged 15 to 19 having abortions every year, compared with two per thousand in Germany. In many other countries, the figure is far higher, with 45 per 1,000 teenage girls in Bulgaria having abortions every year. "

"Sex has also become one of the world's largest industries. In Thailand, the sex industry is worth $25 billion a year, employing 200,000 child prostitutes. But that total is dwarfed by the US, with 300,000 child prostitutes, and Brazil, with 600,000."

"Brazilians make love for longer than anyone else (a worldbeating 30 mins). More partners in the last year than anyone else on the planet, and consequently more tolerant of infidelity than anywhere else in the world."

"British have the world's highest number of unmarried teenage pregnancies. Average life includes sex 2,580 times with five partners. More stamina (21 mins), and more women under 20 who have extra marital sex, than rest of Europe."

"Thais lose their virginity very late (over 20 for women) quickest lovers in the world (10 mins). Less than 10 per cent of women under 20 have sex outside marriage while 90 per cent of Thai men have sex before marriage. Highest rate of condom usage in the world."

"Americans are into cyber sex - biggest users of online pornography. Americans ask for dates via email as much as face to face. Only country where the average age for virginity is rising. Longest sex sessions in the developed world (28 mins) and also the most sex in the developed world at over 130 times a year. "

"Italians are shy sexual pandas who lose their virginity later than anyone else in Europe (19 for men, 20 for women), have less sex than anyone in Europe (less than 100 times a year), and have quickest sex in Europe (14 mins)."

And that's the sex recap for you around from around the world!

Sexology 101 - Sex & Age

Yeah, I know, nobody wants to talk about the picture . . .

Come on, wouldn't it be terrifying to think that once your hair grays and your boobs sag that sex is out the window for you! But all in all, there isn't much research on older people and sex, and because of that, older people (eventually us in a few years) will have to suffer because of it. If you ever think about it, we have Sex Education as pre-teens to better prepare us for our bodily changes that we incur as adolescences - because of that we understand our body, become less embarrassed about it, and more open to discuss it, and eventually learn more about ourselves. Now when we get pass the over-the-hill stages, our bodies begin to change again, but this time there's no Sex Education for older people and when these changes occur, they become embarassed, unsure of themselves, and as a result they don't talk about the changes that happen and just leave it in the closet. Because of this, many doctors just assume that older people don't have sex so they oftentimes give them medication without thinking twice about it affecting their sex drive, nor do they warn older people about it having an impact on their sex drive. So when older people start to mention sex, don't be so quick to "EWW" it out of converstation, let them talk, how else are they going to learn? Don't you want to keep having sex well into your 60s, 70s, and 80s?

Sexology 101 - We've talked about the penis, what about the vagina?

What about the vagina? To be honest I have no idea about the depth or length (I don't even know the proper term to use) of a woman's vagina. I am somewhat baffled by the vagina because it is capable of bearing 10 pound babies yet at time it hurts with penile penetration. How does this work? I'm sure none of you can answer this question either. But according to my internet findings I've found that the vagina is one of the most elastic areas of the female body and in certain times it calls for certain abilities.

Without sexual arousal the cervix (the "ceiling" of the vagina) to the outer part of the vagina is 3-4 inches. When sexual arousal occurs it creates a blood flow to the vaginal walls and stretches 2/3rds of the vagina thus ascending the cervix. And remember, the vagina lubricates to help with penetration.

If the man still hits the cervix with his penis, it is usually an indication that the woman is not aroused psychologically or physically and a break is needed to pertain more focus on the woman. Yet, if it still hits the cervix this can be very uncomfortable for women and she needs to communicate with her partner.

Furthermore, the height and weight of a females body does not contribute to the length of their vagina canals. There is no complete average and ultimately it varies from woman to woman without pattern.

Again, a point for the little man minus 1 for Mr. Big Penis.
