Poor sex health has of late become a serious problem in sexual relationships. Interestingly, such sexual health problems as low libido, erectile dysfunction and lack of orgasm among others are not only restricted to a specific age group. Both married and unmarried individuals have to contend with at least one problem, whether personal or relating to his/her sexual partner. It is because of such problems that there is an increase in the number of sexual relationship breakups including divorce.
Although sex is not the main thing in any sexual relationship, there are several ways through which you can improve your sexual health and avoid falling into the pitfall that both sexually active men and women have fallen into. Being in a state of good sexual health will not only keep your relationship going; it will also allow you and your partner to have a healthy sexual life and relationship.
Communication
Just as effective communication is important in other areas so it is in your relationship. Failure to communicate effectively with your partner can easily lead to misunderstanding, which definitely diminishes his/her interest in having sex with you in particular. It is through effective communication that you can inform your partner of any sex health problem you have for his/her understanding. Doing so also gives your partner the opportunity to do the same. Communicating effectively with your partner requires that you choose the right time, choose your words carefully and most importantly, use the right tone. It is only when both of you understand any sexual problems you have that you can maintain a healthy relationship.
Physical Activity
The benefit of engaging in physical activities such as exercises is not limited to suitable body physique and optimum body weight; the benefit extends to good sex health. Performing exercises and in particular Kegel and aerobic exercises on a regular basis greatly improves your sexual health. While Kegel exercises strengthen your pelvic muscles, aerobic exercises enhance your blood flow, allowing for ease of physical sexual arousal, which has a positive effect not only in sexual satisfaction but to a healthy relationship as well.
Love
You definitely do not build a healthy relationship through sex. Healthy relationships have love as the foundation. Simply loving your partner is enough to show him/her that he/she is appreciated and valued. Doing so paves way for easy communication, understanding, healthy sex life and strong relationship. You can show your partner love through gifts, creating a caring/tenderness atmosphere and engaging your partner in emotional rather than physical intimacy.
Good Health
It is no secret that being in good health is very necessary for a healthy sexual life and strong relationship. It is therefore very important that you do what is necessary in order to have good physical, mental and emotional health. Closely related to this is the need to stick to a healthy diet plan. Sticking to healthy foods will definitely ensure that your overall health remains optimum.
Good Lifestyle
Most sexual health problems that eventually cause other problems in relationships can be traced to poor lifestyle. Keeping off such habits as smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol and use of illicit drugs can be a great way of improving your sex life and relationship.
Sex health and relationship are interlinked and there is just no way you can separate the two. It is worth noting that this applies to sexually-potential relationships such as the relationship between unmarried couples who otherwise engage in sex and married couples. Because of that linkage, it is only important that you embrace some or all of the above to improve on your sexual life for a healthy and strong relationship.
