What are the benefits of slow sex?

Про цей епізод

We all know that having sex is a great form of stress relief. It releases pleasure hormones, like endorphins and oxytocin, also reinforcing the cardiovascular and immune systems. But slow sex may be a way of further enhancing pleasure and allowing you to fully savor the multi-sensory experience that is good sex. It doesn’t have to be a race to the finish line! First of all, it’s a bit of a leveller between men and women in a heterosexual relationship. On average it takes men from 5 to 7 minutes to climax during sex, whereas it’s more or less double that for women. So slowing things down makes it more likely both partners will have an orgasm. And a longer buildup tends to lead to more powerful climaxes for many people. The drawn out stimulation brings on a slow build up of blood flow in the genitals. How does it differ from the kind of sex most people are having then? How can slow sex help partners to be more intimate? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
