Stop focusing partner sex on intercourse. Many (most?) older men can’t get it up sufficiently to slip it in. Even if they can, many (most?) post-menopausal women find intercourse increasingly uncomfortable even with lubricant. So most elder couples who remain sexual evolve their lovemaking away from penis-vagina intercourse.

Psychologists and researchers have theorized about sex dreams since Sigmund Freud in the early 19th century. Freud believed that dreams were the conscious and subconscious try to tell them something positive as well when you tell them how their behaviour is inappropriate. As sex-positivity and sexual wellness becomes more mainstream, the way we discuss sex and evaluate our sexual experiences is changing.In 1948, the American sexologist Alfred Kinsey reported that 75 per cent of healthy men ejaculate within two minutes of vaginal penetration, says Dr Deborah Lee from Dr Fox Online Pharmacy. ‘Women, however, need a minimum of 11 minutes to orgasm,’ she adds. Regardless of the situation or numbers that reports reveal, sexual frequency is not a competition and we shouldn’t be aiming to achieve more of it for the sake of winning an imaginary game.

She also notes that in the 2009 Channel 4 documentary ‘ The Great Sperm Race’, Dr Joanna Ellington, a reproductive health physiologist, was quoted saying ‘the better the sex the greater the chances of conception’. ‘She went to explain that when sex is particularly exciting, the additional stimulation results in sperm being drawn into the ejaculate from deeper within the testes,’ Lee adds.

Having little sex doesn’t necessarily mean there’s something pathologically wrong with the person who desires it less, but it may be a sign that changes and/or an important discussion need to be brought to the table.

However, this position is one of the most dangerous sex positions for womenbecause it can cause vaginal tears. Unfortunately, one harmful question is still often asked by people of all genders and sexualities: How long should sex last?

Let’s face it, human sexuality is complicated. There are probably as many different sexual peccadilloes as there are flavours of food – and like our culinary tastes, our preferences vary from country to country, individual to individual, and day to day. Dreaming about sex with a stranger may simply be a sign of a healthy libido and normal sexual arousal. If you or a partner dreams of sleeping with a stranger, it is not necessarily indicative of cheating or a desire to cheat.
