Researchers are questioning whether therapy effectively treats premature ejaculation.
Experts previously believed, based on results of four research studies, that psychotherapy could be the answer to ending premature ejaculation. Here's how it works: Therapy helps ease the anxiety surrounding an early finish for both men and their partners. Since premature ejaculation is believed to be primarily a psychological issue, it seems like a pretty logical approach to combating the problem, right? Well, apparently it's not.
Study finds women's sex moans are voluntary, not a reflex or consequence of orgasm.
YourTango Expert Dr. John Grohol recently wrote about a study, published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, which found that women's sex noises are not generally a reflex or consequence of orgasm, but rather an effort to help the man reach the finish line. The researchers found that a woman's "vocalizations" most often occurred around the man's orgasm, just before or simultaneously with ejaculation.
Male fertility and motility can be increased by having more sex, thanks to science.
According to science, part of the answer to male infertility is so simple and brilliant that you may have glossed right over it: have more sex. Per science, increased ejaculation can increase fertility (by reducing sperm damage) and generally increasing motility. It's a brave, new world, gang.
Grown-up sex is a wild, erotic, and ecstatic adventure. It requires us to be present to our partner and to our own bodies. It requires that we ask for what we need, and give feedback on what we receive.

Men fake orgasms, too. How to tell if his O is for real.
In our piece, The Myth Of The Male Orgasm, we wrote about men who have trouble reaching coming—it's not as uncommon as you think. In fact, an AskMen survey found that 23% of guys have faked an orgasm at some point. Women fake it for various reasons; a common excuse is not wanting to hurt his feelings. AskMen says that guys do it for the same reason. "The prevailing opinion is that men should be able to climax whenever, wherever and under any circumstance," which simply isn't true. Your dude might have trouble coming if he's tired, stressed or drunk, or if he's already climaxed that day. And if that's the situation, he might fake it. Ladies, here are some signs that he might be pretending.
Conventional wisdom has it that the female orgasm is shadowy, elusive and "complicated," while the male orgasm in the pre-Viagra years is a simple and straightforward affair. Men, we learn, are supposed to be worried about not coming. Yet contrary to popular belief, not all men experience sexual intercourse as an exercise in controlled cork-popping.
