Understanding a Man’s Body To Make Sex Better

Ask a Question Photo Booth

The basics of sex and the male body are largely intuitive due to the fact that men have external genitalia and that their excitement or arousal is more immediately evident than that of a woman.  However, there are some very specific things that women can learn about men’s bodies to make sexual intercourse more pleasurable, whether it’s based more on the psychological or the physical aspects of sex.
Men are  body conscious too
The first thing that many women either don’t understand (Or, perhaps more accurately, it never occurred to them.) about the male body is that men are just as concerned about and critical of their body as women are.  Although men may not be as vocal about comparing themselves to other men physically, they do so just as often as women do.Conversely, it’s common knowledge that men’s and women’s brains are “wired” differently when it comes to many things – including sex – so it’s important that women understand that men are highly visual.  This means that even though a woman may not feel particularly sexy or attractive at certain times, it’s likely that her male partner still finds her highly sexually desirable.
Why men have a “need” for sex…
And while it’s a common stereotype that men want sex much more often than women, people tend to assume this is because men have more physical “needs” than women.  However, recent research has shown that men really want more sex because they have an intense need to feel desired by their partners.
Think outside the penis
Beyond understanding how men’s brains work in connection with their bodies when it comes to sex, there’s also the more purely physical part of dealing with a man’s body during sex.  As mentioned before, men’s genitalia is a bit more self explanatory than women’s owing to the fact that it’s primarily external.  However, men want women to know that for them sex is about more than the penis, which women often seem to forget since an erection represents a prominent change that more or less demands attention.
Use the balls for sex in the right way
That said, men want women to know that they want other parts of their body stimulated as well.  Caressing and playing with the testicles is very pleasurable, but the woman should take care not to be overly aggressive.  Similarly, some men enjoy having their perineum (or “taint,” as it’s known in slang) stimulated, and still others find a prostate massage very erotic and pleasurable.  However, some men are self conscious about any sort of sexual stimulation involving the anus or the area around it, so take care to establish that your partner is amenable to the idea before going in full throttle.
Tempt him with the rest of his body
Beyond the penis, testicles and anus, men also want women to understand that their erogenous zones are practically identical.  These include the neck, the ears, and the nipples.  And don’t forget the finger and toes, since these are dense with nerve endings.  While we’ve already established that men are very visual, they’re very tactile, too, when it comes to sex.
