You've probably heard this word - libido. Especially love to say it smart uncles and aunties in various talk shows dealing with issues of sex. They are concerned with a view talk about low libido, and that needs to be done to improve it. In general, we begin to understand that this thing is necessary and somehow related to sex.
So, what is libido and what it eats? For the first time this term has entered our favorite old Freud. In Latin, the word means lust, desire, passion, or more simply - sexual attraction. And it is fanned by a huge number of myths, some of which we intend today to debunk.
The peak of sexual activity in men occurs earlier than in women. Of course, the row about sex one size fits all - a thankless job, yet scientists claim that a maximum of sexual activity in men is 18 years and for women - 23.
Food with aphrodisiacs - one of the most popular myths. Leaning on the oysters and artichokes, you have the chance to experience a gastronomic orgasm, but not sexy. Although, according to scientists, to increase the sexual activity of food can, but only that which improves blood circulation. For example, red fish, asparagus, beans, strawberries, blueberries.
Weekends are best for sex. Absolute nonsense. Scientists have found that the best day to do this - Thursday. Why is that hard to say, perhaps, to the fact that after the weekend has been a long time, and the working week accumulated nervousness, but it was on Thursday in the human body is the highest level of the stress hormone - cortisol. And he, in turn, increases libido. And with the onset of orgasm, levels of the hormone is rapidly falling.
More testosterone - higher libido. It's true. And this proves not only the men's need for sex, but also the fact that women who declines with age the level of free testosterone, quenched the desire to have sex often.
Alcohol enhances the female libido - it's true. But here the main thing to know the measure. A small amount of alcohol causes a surge of testosterone in the body, and it is, as we know, affects sexual desire.
The peak of female sexual desire occurs during ovulation- it is true, and is associated with a hormonal background that prepares the body for conception.
Pregnancy often improves libido. This really is often the case due to changes in hormonal levels in the body.
During sex burns more calories than during the run. The authors of this myth, most likely, are the ones who love the output lie in bed and not go to the park for a run or to the gym. In fact, scientists have calculated that every minute during physical contact with a woman men spend 4.2 calories, women - 3.1 calories. In turn, the man on the treadmill every minute burn 9.2 calories, and women - 7.1. Neskuchniy your night!
