Why sex is good for your mental (and physical) health?

In a world where discussions about sex still often carry a veil of discomfort, it’s crucial to shed light on its importance not just for physical satisfaction but also for mental well-being. Despite societal taboos, it’s time to recognise sex as fundamental to our health, relationships, and overall selves.

Reflecting on personal experiences and conversations with friends, it becomes evident how sex remains a topic shrouded in unease. Even among close confidants, discussions about sex can be scarce, leaving important aspects of our lives unexplored and unaddressed.

Consider the case of a friend who, despite sharing every detail of their life, hesitates to broach the subject of sex. Is this discomfort merely a reflection of societal norms dictating that certain topics are off-limits? Delving deeper, we uncover underlying issues surrounding gender norms and expectations that contribute to this discomfort.

Furthermore, examining the dynamics of relationships reveals how sexual satisfaction often becomes intertwined with societal expectations and the desires of partners. In instances where one partner experiences challenges such as erectile issues, the tendency to prioritise their satisfaction over one’s own can lead to unfulfilling dynamics within the relationship.
