ANDamong expectations, pressure to “have pleasure” and accelerated daily life, is your partner really having orgasms or has he been faking it?
From various health and sex issues, it is not always easy to identify this moment. However, according to a neuroscientist to The Guardian, in the long run everything can become more evident.
The mystery is over! According to Nicole Prause, the answer does not always need to be seen, but “there is something that may not go unnoticed”: O state of your mental health and partner.
More than pretending to orgasm for this expert, many women still wonder whether or not they had an orgasm themselves.
Faced with this uncertainty, Nicole Prause clarifies that there are many other confirmations: “Some women don’t know what an orgasm is. There are many peaks of pleasure that happen during sexual intercourse. If you have not had contractions, you may not know that there is something different.”
After all, how can you then realize in the long run if your partner has had orgasms?
This neuroscience specialist related the phenomenon of “Orgasmic Meditation”, i.e., a slow clitoris stimulation with a “better performance of cognitive tasks, as it still changes the reactivity to emotional images and how it compares to regular meditation.”
Do you notice these improvements in your partner's mental health? So, according to this expert, you probably weren't faking orgasms.
Associated with a better psychological condition, neuroscientist emphasizes that, nevertheless, the psychological state of her partner it's not about this factor. There are many other external constraints, which may not even depend on the partner.
However, in some cases, the opposite can happen. Mental health can even condition sexual life and, therefore, “stop it from actually reaching an orgasm,” he warns.
Regardless of whether or not she is reaching orgasm, the specialist makes it clear that stimulation begins at the brain level and that for this reason, the overwhelming majority of sexual problems “can have emotional and social origin”.
Other benefits of orgasms to psychological health
The expert clarifies that “sexual excitement brings broader benefits to mental health”, since it can help in stress management and also “improve the ability to deal with some emotional situations.”.
