Humanity has been engaging in sexual relations for as long as humans have been around, and not much has developed or transformed in the way it is done when it comes down to the very basics. From the 1960’s
on, with the advent of the birth control pill, there came a new era known as the sexual revolution, in which human beings explored new ways to pleasure themselves and each other. The last three decades in particular, starting from the 1990’s onwards, have seen the most progress and fascinating developments. Women who otherwise had issues being stimulated to orgasm are now having regular orgasms. Many senior citizens are allowed the opportunity to continue being sexually active well into their 90’s. People are more open about discussing sex with those they are familiar with as well as strangers, and are finding their sex lives more stimulating as a result of wanting to try new things. Even though we have achieved great progress as a species on the subject of sex, there is vastly more work that needs to be done.
Let’s remember that millions of young people are just beginning to embark on their journey of sexual exploration. Many are unsure of what to do or how it should be done. In addition to this, there are millions of adults who still have sex the same way cavemen and women did in the stone age. There seems to be a knowledge gap in these adults on the potential of having great sex and how it can be carried out. There are also millions of people who are being haunted by sexual myths, that impede either progress or exploration. Despite all there is to learn and what you may think you know, not just through watching pornos or through experience but through reading literature on sex as well, there is much yet for you to learn.
The method of learning as it pertains to sex can also be a crucial determinant in how effective they are when it comes doing to carrying out the actual act. Where do the vast majority of people learn about sex? Some are taught by parents and other learn at school. The fact that this information is passed on through generations, you probably didn’t absorb it until you were ready to use it. When it came down to brush up on some of your skills, you considered either taking a class or in the company of the more experienced decided to act in a way to show that you already have the experience or are unimpressed by what was presented, trying hard to bluff and it didn’t work.
There is a Catch 22 to this whole process. What you know and learn you remember briefly only to forget it when you really need it.
Some information can also be mixed up so you aren’t really sure what you’re remembering or why something you’re trying isn’t working. Children are a good example of this conundrum. Even though we try to shower them with information on how to be good people, what is right and what is wrong, and how to stay out of trouble and on the right path, they seem to listen and learn more from what they hear on the street, in the locker room or at a sleepover. The amount of information that is misleading or false that seeps into the child’s mind and has an influence on their decisions later on in life is truly terrifying.
