Sexual health experts share tips for intimacy and timing
Experts provide guidance on enhancing intimacy and determining the most effective times for sexual activity. Key recommendations for improving sexual satisfaction include understanding one's own body through masturbation, prioritizing foreplay, and maintaining open communication regarding desires and partner preferences.
Regarding timing, specialists note that different times of day offer unique benefits. Morning intimacy may benefit from higher testosterone levels, particularly for men, and can boost serotonin levels to start the day. Conversely, evening intimacy can facilitate better sleep and emotional bonding due to the release of hormones like oxytocin and serotonin following orgasm. Ultimately, experts suggest the best time is when both partners feel desire and are free from the distractions of daily responsibilities or exhaustion.
