There’s one ultimate goal during sex: to be as sensually stimulated as possible. The secret to achieving that blissful state — having lots of steamy info at your disposal. As they say, knowledge is power…and pleasure. After our last sex facts feature, some of you asked for more, so here is another serving of titillating titbits.
- Avocado is the Aztec word for testicle. In Aztec culture, avocados were considered sexually powerful and were restricted for virgins.
- In a survey of multi-millionaires, 70 percent felt that money gave them better sex.
- About 100 million couples around the world have sex every day. That means around 65,000 couples are having sex right now.
- Experts have discovered a new pleasure centre: the anterior fornix, known as the A-spot, located on the upper wall of the vagina, near the cervix. When stimulated, it increases lubrication. The moves that arouse your G-spot will hit this area too.
- While many know that chocolate can be an excellent arousal for having sex, apparently the smell of pumpkin can help increase the blood flow to the penis to encourage an erection - quite appropriate with Halloween well on it’s way. Get carving people! ;-)
- Overweight people attract a whole heck of a lot of unwarranted abuse from the world at large. However, studies have shown there is apparently one area where they totally kick skinny butt—chubby guys last on average over three times as long in the bedroom.
- On average, for every ‘normal’ webpage, there are five porn pages.
- At the 2012 London Olympics, which lasted for 17 days, the athletes were provided with 150,000 free condoms- approximately 15 each.
- The world’s greatest lover is of course Casanova, the Venetian adventurer and writer. In the 18th century his powers of seduction were immortalised in his own and many other great novelists’ stories. We wouldn’t half like to know what these powers involved....
- In 2008, archaeologists in Cyprus found a 7th-century curse inscribed on a lead tablet that said, "May your penis hurt when you make love." Nobody knows who made the curse, or why. - Looks like curses haven’t changed all that much over the years.
- When a male octopus finds a mate, he rips off his penis and throws it at the female so she can inseminate herself. Then the male grows a new penis. - I don’t know about anyone else, but if that isn’t the most epic way to tell someone “Go f*ck yourself”, I don’t know what is!
- The Vibrator, a common sex toy for women, was originally designed in the 19 century to fight the anxiety-related symptoms of hysteria. There was even a play written about it, In the Next Room (also known as the Vibrator Play) in 2009.
