If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. The same goes for sex. A satisfying sex life requires adequate preparation. Yang Dazhong, an attending physician at the Department of Sexual Medicine at Tsinghua University Yuquan Hospital, told the Life Times reporter that preparations for sexual life can be divided into two types: environmental preparation and psychological preparation.

Environment preparation. Before going to bed, make sure you have three things within your reach: lubricant, condoms, and a glass of warm water. Maybe you think that your physical condition is very good and you don’t need lubricant, but if you think about it further, there is no harm in having it. Once you suddenly realize that you need it during sex but can’t find it, that is the worst thing. A glass of warm water can help you rehydrate in time after intense sexual intercourse, so that you can better carry out the "afterplay".

Mental preparation. First, you need to be confident that you want to have sex and be full of expectations for sex. If you hesitate during sex and feel that your desire is not strong, it will be difficult to obtain pleasure and it will also hurt your partner's feelings. Secondly, taking deep breaths before sex can help you put aside all the worries in your heart, relax your mind, and concentrate on your partner.

Finally, it’s best to “whisper” with your partner. For example, discuss what kind of position you want to take, or admit that you are a little tired today and hope that your partner will put more effort into it.

What you eat before sex is important

Sex and food are always inseparable, but eating too well can easily lead to "sex loss". A report published on the American "Health Network" pointed out that if men eat too greasy before sex, it will affect erection and thus reduce the quality of sex.

American sexologist Oscar McHenry pointed out that for men, sex is a huge and physically demanding project that requires the use of a variety of hormones in the blood and muscles. Among them, androgen is the most important sexual stimulation factor, which can arouse male sexual desire and help achieve erection. A greasy meal will greatly reduce the secretion of male hormones, which is likely to make men feel sleepy and exhausted.

However, experts recommend eating some carbohydrates before sex, such as bread, rice, potatoes, etc. These staple foods can quickly replenish energy and maintain a long-lasting erection. People who prefer meat can try eating some fish or shellfish and eat less greasy red meat. But no matter what you eat, you must finish it one hour before sex to avoid affecting sex.

Men drink some brown sugar water before sex

Brown sugar has the functions of strengthening the spleen, replenishing blood, dispelling cold, and nourishing the body. It is a commonly used medicine in traditional Chinese medicine to treat gynecological diseases and is often considered to be exclusive to women. In fact, it is good for the body for men with weak spleen and stomach to drink an appropriate amount of brown sugar water every day. Drinking it before sex can also help restore physical strength.

Brown sugar is sweet and warm. It contains maltose, amino acids, protein, vitamin B, iron and other nutrients, which helps to nourish qi and blood. Penile erection mainly relies on the perfusion of Qi and blood into the meridians of the penis. Sufficient Qi and blood is beneficial to sexual performance. When men are weak and cold, have insufficient qi and blood, or are tired from exertion, they can adjust and cultivate themselves by drinking brown sugar water. In addition, boiling poached eggs with brown sugar and wolfberry can nourish yin and nourish the kidneys, and is beneficial to improving erectile function; soaking longan in brown sugar can soothe the mind, help improve sleep, and restore physical strength; soaking astragalus and jujube in brown sugar can nourish the body. It replenishes qi, strengthens the spleen and stomach, and helps strengthen the body.

Although brown sugar has many tonic effects, it is not suitable for all people, and it should not be taken for too long. It should not be taken in excess, otherwise it will be detrimental to health. People with yin deficiency or stomach heat who eat brown sugar will aggravate their condition; diabetics cannot take brown sugar, otherwise it will cause blood sugar to rise; it is best not to drink brown sugar water after sex to avoid causing dental caries.
