Questions You Should Ask Before Engaging in Sex

Photo by Andrew Schwark

Engaging in sexual activity involves mutual consent, communication, and understanding. It's important to have open and honest discussions with your partner to ensure a consensual and comfortable experience. Here are some questions that you and your partner should ask each other:

 

What are your boundaries and limits regarding sexual activities? Are there any specific acts or behaviors that you are uncomfortable with or want to avoid?

Have you been tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs)? Have you had yourself tested for STDs and STIs? What protection methods, such as condoms or dental dams, will you be using? Years ago, a doctor on a TV talk show said, “If you are having sex, you are participating in a high-risk behavior.”

What contraceptive methods are you using to prevent unintended pregnancies? Are you currently using any form of birth control?

Are you at ease discussing desires, preferences, and any concerns or fears? How will we both ensure ongoing communication during the experience?

 

Are you emotionally ready and willing to engage in sexual activity? Is there a level of trust and connection between us?

What type of relationship are you seeking? Are we both in agreement with expectations and intentions?

Remember, these questions are meant to be open and honest. Communicate in a respectful and non-pressure manner. Permission and ongoing talks are key aspects to a healthy and enjoyable sexual happening.♥

How to Let Loose Your Lovemaking Side

Discovering and embracing your intimate side is a personal journey that can be unique for each individual. Here are some general suggestions to help you set free your lovemaking side:

 

Understand your desires, fantasies, and preferences. Reflect on what excites you and what you are curious about. This self-awareness will provide a foundation for exploring your sexual side.

Open and honest communication is crucial, both with you and your partner or partners. Express your desires, boundaries, and interests respectfully. Effective communication can lead to a deeper understanding and connection with your own sexuality and with your partner(s).

Educate yourself about lovemaking. Read books, articles, or reputable online resources about sexual health, pleasure, and different aspects of human sexuality. Understanding your body, sexual response, and different sexual practices can help you explore your desires more confidently.

 

Self-pleasure is a healthy and natural way to explore your sexuality. Experiment with different techniques, fantasies, and types of stimulation that feel pleasurable to you. Pleasing yourself can help you understand your body and what brings you sexual satisfaction.

Consider exploring new experiences or activities that pique your interest. This can include trying new sexual positions, experimenting with different forms of stimulation, or engaging in role-play or BDSM (if consensual and within your comfort zone). Always prioritize consent and ensure that all activities are safe, sensible, and consensual.

Taking care of your overall well-being can positively influence your sexual side. This includes getting enough sleep, eating a well-balanced diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress. When you feel good physically and emotionally, it can enhance your sexual experiences.

 

If you are struggling with sexual issues, concerns, or trauma, consider seeking professional help from a therapist, counselor, or sex educator. They can provide guidance, support, and strategies to help you navigate your sexual journey.

 

Everyone’s lovemaking journey is unique. There is no right or wrong way. Always feel comfortable with sexual activities and respect your partner's boundaries.♥

Popular Dating Sites for Single Pet Owners by Vivienne Diane Neal

I enjoy the commercial where the man’s date discovers how he keeps his dog food in the refrigerator. This is a no-no in her world. He abruptly shows her the door. What makes it even more hilarious is when he says to his dog. “You were right about her.”

 

In our household, we always had cats and dogs. But as a child, I never thought of pets being able to like or dislike an individual based on his or her aura.

 

So, when you are seeking a romantic partner and have pets, you may want to find someone who shares your love for cats, dogs, or both.

 

Following are five popular dating sites that cater to single pet owners who are looking for likeminded pet owners:

 

1. Pet People Meet is designed specifically for dog lovers. It allows users to connect with other dog owners in their area, arrange dog-friendly dates, and share their love for dogs.

2. Tindog is a dating app for dog owners. It works similarly to Tinder, where you can swipe right or left to indicate your interest in other users. Tindog focuses on creating connections between dog owners and their furry friends.

3. Date My Pet is an online dating site catering to single pet owners. It allows users to create profiles for themselves and their pets, and search for other pet owners based on their interests and preferences. They also offer video profiles.

4. Meet Animal Lovers is a dating site that brings together singles with a passion for animals. It caters to pet owners of all kinds and provides a platform to connect with others who understand and appreciate the importance of pets in their lives.

5. Fetch A Date is an app where you see the pet first before you become involved with the owner. You can create a free profile and find someone who loves your pet and you.
