According To Urologists And Sexual Health Experts, This Is Why Foreplay Is Important

JAKARTA – Foreplay, in some studies revealed it is important for women to do. But according to urology and sexual health experts, for men too important foreplay is done as a 'warm up' session during sexual intercourse.

Reported by Men's Journal, Monday, June 28, Doctor Jennifer Berman said that foreplay can help maintain intimacy.

"Not only physical intimacy but also emotional intimacy," says urologist and sexual health expert Berman.

The positive effect is not only improving the quality of sex life with a partner. Berman clearly explained that foreplay can also improve relationships outside the room.

A study shows that sexual intercourse can be longer and achieve better orgasms with a 'warm up' session. Published in the Journal of Sex Research, male and female participants who were monitored for masturbation sessions reported having more pleasurable orgasms.

More surprisingly, sexual desire also increased than before. This is corroborated by another study that surveyed people aged 16-64 years.

This survey found that the more diverse sexual practices they do, such as penetration, kissing, hugging, oral, or manual stimulation, the longer they last.

Another survey of 152 couples, reported the ideal duration of a foreplay session of around 18 minutes. Regardless of duration and style or position, foreplay itself is very important for a long term relationship.

“Over time, when life gets in the way – kids, work, stress, finances and whatever – being able to maintain our connection and intimacy with our partner is very important, and foreplay helps do that,” says Berman.

Tips from berman, if you want to improve your foreplay skills, then you must realize that foreplay is a team effort.

"What I tell my patients is that they need to understand their body, their anatomy, their chemistry and their physiology in order to enjoy sex," Berman says.

Both partners need to be open to discovering what they like and hearing what their partner likes because everyone has different preferences.

Berman explained, some of the best ways to communicate your desires with your partner during sex is through voice and body language because 'lecture' in the middle of a sex session would be a definite prohibition.

Of course foreplay is not the only way to have satisfying sex. But for some people this initial session determines the end result.
