Sexy Things for You to Try Before You Die

As you get older, you start to look back on your sexual experiences and think about how they have shaped you into the person that you are today. Many people have fulfilling and varied sex lives in their early 20s, often with multiple partners, and their sexual wellness and wellbeing is rooted in this foundation of not taking sexual intimacy too seriously. For others, their sexual experience is limited to a few choice partners, but their experiences with them can be just as varied and rewarding (if not more so) than those who choose to be intimate with multiple partners.

 

Those who get married young may feel that they have missed out on a lot of ‘wild oat sewing’, but there is no need to feel this way. It is perfectly possible to have exciting and thrilling sexual experiences with your chosen life partner. There are certain things that people consider to be a sort of sexual ‘bucket list’ – sexy experiences to try before you die – but most of these can be achieved within a secure and loving relationship.

 

Some, of course, cannot. Sexual experiences such as kissing someone of the same gender, having a threesome or engaging in group sex are not generally considered a safe or appropriate part of a loving, monogamous relationship. Sex with a stranger is also out of the question, as is sex with someone much older or younger (unless your partner happens to be one of these options!)

 

You, can, however try many of the other options, such as trying anal sex, having phone sex, using sex toys and masturbating. You can also try options such as tying one another up, having sex in a public place, having sex in a car, having sex at a drive-in, and – of course – join the notorious mile-high club (where people have sex whilst on an aeroplane).

Which Medical Tests Do You Need to Book Now?

When it comes to your health early detection of any disease or ailment is advisable, yet most people don’t take advantage of the various health checks and tests available to them. Such tests could prove to be life-saving, and the majority of them are quick and easy to undertake. These are the top tests which could help to keep you healthy and highlight any potential problems early on, which could make treatment far more effective.

 

Mammogram

The American Cancer Society has always claimed that women should begin annual breast cancer screening at the age of 40 with mammograms, but the new thought on the matter is that women should wait until their 50. This is because younger and denser breasts are more likely to develop benign cysts, which means that aggressive testing on innocent lumps in the tissue is unnecessary. However, most doctors stand by the early tests in order to be on the safe side – get tested every year from 40, or earlier if there is a history of breast cancer in your family. if this is the case, you should start screenings 10 years earlier than the age your relative was when she was diagnosed. So, if your mum was diagnosed at the age of 42, you need to be getting annual screenings from the age of 32.

 

Breast examinations

Breast exams are very quick, painless and free – self exams have been proven to reduce the number of cancer-related deaths. Women often discover their own cancers through noticing the symptoms early, so as long as you don’t worry about every lump and bump you find (menstruating will mean you’ll find some lumps which are harmless) then there is no harm in doing regular breast checks. Being familiar with your breasts and knowing what is right for you makes this a lot more effective, and regular checks are one of the best ways to do this.

 

Pap smears

Cervical smears are advised from the age of 21, with follow-up tests every other year until the age of 30, when it becomes every three years if the results are normal. It depends on your risk factor – if you’re healthy and HPV negative, and either not sexually active or have just one partner, you can be screened every three years. If you have other risks, such as smoking or sleeping with multiple partners, then your risks increase and you should be screened annually.

 

High cholesterol

If you’re over the age of 20, a total cholesterol exam which is carried out with a simple blood test could assess your risk of heart disease. This is done every year if your LDL, which is referred to as the ‘bad’ cholesterol, measures over 130. If your result is lower, then you only need to be tested every five years.

 

Under or overactive thyroid

This is also tested with a blood test, and the condition itself can lead to symptoms of weight gain or indicate an autoimmune disease. If you’re over the age of 35, you should get tested every two years – however, if you’re showing symptoms you should speak to your GP earlier to see if you have the condition.

 

Chlamydia or other STDs

Regular sexual health screenings are advised to anyone who is sexually active, regardless of their age. In particular, tests for chlamydia and gonorrhoea can help reduce the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease – the tests are quick, relatively painless and offer peace of mind that you’re not spreading infection. If you’re sleeping with multiple partners and are under 25, this is especially important.

Warning: Teens And Parents Not Talking Enough About Sex

A study into the population of East Asians in Canada has found that teens are unlikely to talk about sexual health with their parents, which is putting their wellness and wellbeing at risk. Although it was found that East Asian students were less likely to be sexually active, those who were sexually active were more likely to indulge in risky sexual behaviour.

 

The study has emerged from the University of B.C in Vancouver, and suggests that language and cultural barriers may be to blame for the lack of frank and open dialogue between parents and their children on the topic of sex. The study was published in The Canadian Journal of Human Sexuality and has opened up further discussion about why East Asians may feel this taboo about sexual discussion between parents and teens.

 

It has become more commonplace for young people to be sexually active – in North America, around half of all students in Grades 9 and 10 say that they have had sexual intercourse. This 50 percent drops to only 10 percent, however, when looking solely at young people of East Asian heritage living in America and Canada.

 

Despite the low percentage of those actually engaging in sexual intercourse, those who do are at higher risk of unsafe practices. Around 70 percent of young East Asians who do have sex have some kind of other high risk behaviour. Around one in four say that they use alcohol or drugs as part of their sex life, over a third of them had had sex with multiple partners in the past 12 months, and over half of those surveyed had had sex without using a condom.

 

And seven out of those 10 reported high-risk behaviour, according to the study. One in four reported using drugs or alcohol, more than one third reported having had multiple partners in the last year, and more than half the girls surveyed had not used a condom.

 

It is thought that the more traditionally conservative cultures could be contributing to the problem, as children of this heritage were less likely to speak to their parents at home about sex or to be given advice about safe sexual practices.
