Rapley has seen and heard just about everything in her 30 years in the business. One thing she can say for certain is that the ripple effect of a fulfilling sex life reaches all areas of a person’s life — self-esteem, confidence, self-control, mood, and even physique.
Our body has the ability to be one giant erogenous zone — and this zone needs stimulation. Sensory deprivation can actually cause stress. Whether it’s an afternoon delight, a sensual massage, or even just a good-old fashioned makeout sesh, all those pleasurable sensations release endorphins and dopamine, enhancing our mood, she said.
And of course a good roll in the hay can burn some serious calories, but what you may not realize is that it also slows down the aging process…of your vagina. Yup, our lady parts get old, along with the rest of us. The muscle contractions that occur during orgasm help keep them from atrophying. (Synonym for atrophying: shriveling. That’s not a good look for anyone.) On top of that, getting the blood flowing cleanses your whole body.
If you’re a tad timid to take to the sheets, Rapley stressed that sexuality is a learned behavior. Or, as she put it, “the earlier we learn to bike, the better cyclists we are.” Self-knowledge is the surest path to sexual success. Learn about your arousal patterns, stay focused, and be open to change. The brain is a major sex organ, and it craves novelty.
How do you know if you’re doing it right? In the wise words of Rapley, “sex is messy, ladies. If you’re having good sex, it’s going to get messy.” Get messy. Get healthy. Get your groove on.
