Common fears couples have about sex

Sex isn’t always amazing for couples. Even though it is considered to be an enjoyable and pleasurable activity, people suffer from sex phobias and fear. Well, we don’t blame them but yes, most people have common fears related to sex. Studies suggest that these fears often go unnoticed and thus, can leave a drastic impact on a couple’s sexual life. Here are some common fears down below

Sex Health

The fear of contracting STDs or Sexually Transmitted Diseases like Herpes, Chlamydia etc. are very common among people. Most of them avoid having sex with someone they know very little or don’t know at all. Though it is very necessary to know whether your partner has tested themselves, these matters often go unnoticed. So, definitely have a talk about this with your partner before you initiate sex.

Unwanted Pregnancy

Condoms are the most common protection kits of sex. However, condoms are not always 100% effective. Sometimes it may even break due to rough sex or bad production of the material. The result, you start feeling nauseated and see early symptoms of pregnancy. To avoid unnecessary dismay, take the condom off properly by holding the base and pulling it off to ensure no leakage.

Embarrassing body function

Sex can be very messy and in some instances, you may even experience sudden noises, bodily emissions or liquids. It can be flustering and very embarrassing but it’s all part of the process. It is completely natural but, if your partner gets grossed out by this, chances are that they are immature and not right for you.

Taking NO for an answer

Before you have sex, question this to yourself: Do you trust the person? People are so busy in pleasing their partners that they often fail to recognise their own wishes and preferences. If your partner refuses to respect your wants and wishes, then steer clear of them. Get up and put your clothes back and leave. Don’t look back and the best advice is to not talk again.

Low self confidence

Many people avoid sex because they feel that others might make fun or loathe their naked body. Such low-self esteem issues arise from societal judgements. We all have insecurities and it’s alright. So, it’s advisable to mainly focus on the fun you’re having in the bedroom because that is what partners love to notice, not your flaws.

Being bad at sex

 No one is really bad at sex. It’s the experience that counts. If you are less experienced or have been less active in sex, it’s likely that you’ve lost the practice. Once you get it on and communicate with your partner about what you want, sex can be really pleasurable and enjoyable for you. You won’t be bad at sex forever!
