The variety of types of sex allows and encourages us to discover new facets of love, facts about sex. Multiply them by individual sexuality, and this mechanical act turns into a real sensual symphony.
We invite you to take a short journey into the world of sex and its meaning for men and women. There is hardly any point in describing the definitions of “what is sex” and aiming at loud headlines “Everything about sex”, but we want that, after reading this article, you fill in the gaps in knowledge about seemingly familiar types of erotic intimacy in order to diversify and improve your intimate life.
Types of sex by number of participants
Masturbation
The most accessible type of love, and you can add variety to this spicy moment. One way is to have your genitals touch a stable surface. Some girls can even bring themselves to orgasm without any external physical influence, by strong compression of the muscles of the pelvis and hips (sometimes this even becomes a problem, for example, for athletes).
Another method that women usually resort to, but can be adopted by men, is pouring a strong stream of water over themselves, usually done in the shower.
Also in sex shops there are a lot of toys, for women - vibrators and dildos, for men - masturbators. There are sex dolls of varying degrees of realism, designed for both men and women. For lovers of anal entertainment of any gender - plugs, balls and other devices.
Why do people have sex3
Intimate connection is needed in order to achieve relaxation and satisfy the need for physical intimacy. There are many receptors on the human skin, touching which stimulates the production of hormones. These hormones calm the nervous system and promote weight loss. At the same time, the process gives a feeling of happiness.
Coitus is also necessary to strengthen the spiritual connection. A pleasant process makes a person understand that he is attractive. The feeling of maximum closeness with your partner at these moments is felt especially acutely. Sex is also a great pain reliever. All thanks to the production of endorphins, which act on the human body like morphine. The process can relieve headaches and discomfort during PMS.
Group sex
This sexual interaction involves more than two people. The most common is threesome sex (scientifically called “triolism”). A mass phenomenon in a group act is called an orgy, and there is no limit to how many people can participate in it.
Separately, it is worth highlighting swing sex: a group practice in which lovers in a couple participate. A popular stereotype is that swingers always form relationships in pairs and exchange partners, but in reality such relationships include a whole palette of interactions. These may include polyamorous unions and adventurous singles.
"Butterfly"
Missionary position or “Butterfly” is the simplest and easiest position, when the guy is on top, and the girl lies below on her back, spreading her legs to the sides, the guy is between her legs. The advantages are that the man controls everything, the entire process of action. Can control the depth of penetration and speed of action. And the plus for women is that by simply relaxing, she gets pleasure. There is only one downside: if you often use the missionary position, it will become boring. And to make it more fun, you can diversify it by placing a pillow under the woman’s pelvis, or the man needs to change the strength or angle of penetration.
Love for specific areas of the body
Everything here is, of course, very conditional. Usually in such sexual intercourse attention is paid to a specific area of the body, for example, the penis or female genital organs, and sometimes the focus of attention can be transferred from one erogenous zone to another.
Vaginal sex
This includes all types of sex with vaginal penetration. The only exception: if the tongue penetrates it, then this will apply to oral practices.
But this type of sex can involve fingers, a penis or sex toys, or any oblong hard objects. To increase the sensitivity of the vaginal walls and for greater tightness of the girth (which enhances the pleasant sensations of the partner), there are Kegel exercises that can be done both without everything and with vaginal balls.
Contrary to stereotypes, not all women prefer vaginal sex exclusively. Some people cannot relax sufficiently, which is why the process can be associated with inconvenience and pain, some do not have enough of their own lubrication, and some are simply addicted to other practices.
Anal sex
It can involve fingers, penis, sex toys - only the point of impact changes. On the one hand, anal sex is available to everyone, without regard to gender or orientation. On the other hand, it has many complexities, it requires more thorough preparation and has more safety requirements.
- First of all, you should not do it too often, otherwise it may cause health problems in the future. Proctologists recommend having anal sex no more than once every 1-2 weeks. Experiments with the expansion of the anus are especially harmful. It is undesirable for women who practice this type of sex to immediately switch to vaginal sex to avoid introducing pathogenic bacteria from the intestines into the vaginal microflora. Of course, there is always a danger of contracting an STD, so the principle “you can’t get pregnant, so you can without a condom” only works with regular partners in whom you are one hundred percent confident.
- The second point is hygiene. For some, it is enough to simply wash themselves, while others resort to enemas, which must be given no later than 3-4 hours before sexual intercourse.
- The third is the complexity of the process itself. The anus does not produce lubricant, and in order to avoid causing injury to the partner, the use of a lubricant is required. Silicone-based products are incompatible with condoms, and water-based ones require relatively frequent “updates” - you will have to stop periodically during the process to add lubricant. Like vaginal sex, anal sex requires the ability to relax. Therefore, for your first experiments, be patient and choose the slowest pace possible.
- And finally, the psychological moment. Firstly, many people are hindered by homophobic attitudes. Secondly, the anus is associated with the act of defecation, which creates associations with something dirty. And this is not to mention those who consider any sex other than classic sex to be a perversion.
Despite prejudices, anal sex has not lost its popularity throughout the history of mankind. For some, the area around the hole is considered an erogenous zone. Some people like the feeling of inner fullness.
For men in a passive role, prostate stimulation brings additional pleasure. In an active role, you may be attracted by the feeling of a tight grip around the penis (however, not all men like this; some do not accept this type of sex). In heterosexual couples with a permanent, trusting relationship, anal sex is attractive for a wide range of sensations without the risk of pregnancy.
Oral sex
This is stimulation of the genitals using the mouth. For men - blowjob, for women - cunnilingus, plus rimming - oral interaction with the anus - stands apart.
Such practices cause shame in some. In their minds, this is often associated with something humiliating, since the “clean” (mouth) comes into contact with the “dirty” (genitals). Sometimes the feeling of disgust does not extend to the entire process, but to a certain part of it.
For example, a girl is not against giving her partner a blowjob, but she is against any interaction with sperm. Or these interactions may strictly exclude some options (such as ejaculating on the face or swallowing semen).
Partners in heterosexual couples worry about a lack of knowledge and experience, and are afraid of making a mistake and being branded a bad lover. If “classic” sex seems more or less understandable to many, then oral sex seems something akin to high art. As in any business, everything comes with practice, and in contact with your partner, and with his personal preferences.
Manual sex
There may be a little confusion here. Some call any sex in which hands interact with the genitals manual. In fact, it only includes penis stimulation.
Many consider this type of love “not real” and consider it only as a foreplay or alternative. At its core, it is no different from any other sexual practice: it can also lead to vivid orgasms; There are many techniques that can be used to diversify the sensations. Just like any other intimate process, manual sex will help bring partners closer and strengthen their feelings for each other.
Balance Testosterone Levels for Brain Health
For some men, testosterone levels remain high throughout their lives, while for others they drop during middle age. Low testosterone levels in adolescents are associated with shyness and insecure behavior. In adult men, low testosterone levels can lead to lack of energy, poor memory, poor performance, decreased sexual desire (libido) and sexual vigor, and decreased physical strength and endurance. In women, low testosterone levels (relative to female standards for this hormone) are associated with decreased sexual interest. Women are sometimes prescribed small doses of testosterone to boost their libido (but with caution because facial hair, aggression and muscular biceps are not typically women's goals).
Other types of sex
We have listed the most common types, without including rare ones, for example, the interaction of the genitals with other parts of the body (feet, chest, buttocks, elbow or knee bend, etc.). If you continue to explore your sexuality, there are many other interesting types of intimate pleasures for you:
- role-playing games - costume or not;
- extreme types of sex - in public places, in dangerous conditions, with the risk of being noticed, etc.;
- BDSM is a whole layer of culture based on obtaining intense sexual sensations through rough physical force;
- virtual sex - by phone, video call or correspondence;
- non-contact sex is an unusual practice that can either be carried out separately or be part of any of the above. The main condition is not to touch the genitals, but to experience sexual pleasure (in some cases, orgasm).
An important point: any sex can be healthy and unhealthy. Healthy sex is a voluntary interaction between adults.
Speaking about unhealthy sex (deviations), modern sexology only works with those cases that cause harm either to the patient or to the people around him. If even one point in the rule “voluntary interaction between adults” is violated, criminal liability is imposed: we are talking about pedophilia, bestiality and rape.
Her beauty and his brain
When men get together, they like to discuss the appearance and plastic movements of women. Why? Thirty percent of the human brain is devoted to processing visual information. And at the sight of a beautiful woman, the visual centers of men’s brains literally flare up with activity. Beauties literally capture the male brain. Such feelings are very strong, even addictive.
Using sophisticated imaging equipment, researchers at Emory University in Atlanta found that after watching sexually explicit material for half an hour, the amygdala was much more activated in men than in women, although both sexes reported enjoying the experience. This may be the reason why pornography is more interesting to men than to women. And this is why women spend more time taking care of their appearance. After all, their appearance has a much stronger effect on the brain of men.
Sextration methods
Splitting can happen in a variety of ways, but here are some common scenarios:
Email Phishing Schemes
An email arrives in your inbox indicating that the sender has one of your passwords (which they will include in the email). They threaten to publish intimate photos or videos of you unless you send money or explicit material or perform sexual acts. Many of these scams rely on collecting passwords, and if you don't already have sensitive media on your old site, it could be a bluff.
Social media
Many sextortion scams begin with seemingly harmless encounters on social media or dating sites. Eventually, the attacker will force the victim to send explicit images, undress on camera, or perform sexual acts on camera. The resulting images and videos can then be redeemed.

Hacked accounts
If you have ever sent explicit images or videos through social media or a chat app or stored them on one of these platforms, someone could get them by hacking your account. They can also use your account to share images with friends, family and colleagues if you don't comply.
Hacked webcams
Some of the worst cases of sextortion involve downloading malware onto the victim's device. Once there, it could allow a hacker to take control of cameras and microphones and install keyloggers. This means that someone could be watching your every move (close to your computer). And with the help of keyloggers, they can discover the credentials for all your accounts. This may seem far-fetched, but it happens more often than you think.

Wild Rodeo
Wild rodeo - the guy sits down and, while sitting, leans on his hands, placing them behind him, and crosses his legs. But the main thing is to tilt your legs away from yourself. The woman sits on top and wraps her legs around her partner. It starts moving up, then down, right, and then left. But the couple chooses the pace themselves, as they like, faster or slower.
What happens to the body when there is no or not enough sex?
The process itself gives an unlimited amount of emotions, pleasant sensations and magnificent intimacy, that very liberation. The most important thing is that sexual intercourse is beneficial for the body: rejuvenation, sound sleep, the best cosmetologist, normalizes blood pressure, reduces stress hormones.
But when sex stops, there is little or no sex in your life, then the body begins to fail the person. Yes, there is more free time, but there will also be more problems in the body.
