10 Weird Things That Happen To Your Body During S*x
From the second you get turned on to that awesome after-séx
glow, your body is doing some amazing things to make sure you experience
major pleasure. But we’re willing to bet you’re not aware of any of
this as it’s happening. Well, prepare to have your mind blown by the
impressive feats that happen while you’re busy getting busy.
You find everything séxy
Sure, you know the basic things that get you raring to go (firemen,
Ryan Gosling), but you might be turned on by a lot more than you think.
Researchers from Queens University in Kingston, Ontario found that even
though straight women reported only feeling aroused by men, their
measures of physiological arousal (like váginal blood flow) told a
different story. Most women in the study were aroused by every séxual
stimuli they saw (nudé male and female bodies, heteroséxual and
homoséxual séx, even animal séx), while men’s arousal was much more
predictable. The bottom line: Women have the ability to get turned on by
a much broader range of situations.
You’re not easily grossed out
There’s a reason that you’re less fazed by something like sweat or
weird smells when you’re having séx. When you’re aroused, you’re less
likely to view gross things as being disgusting, according to a study
published in the online journal
PLOS One. So that explains why you’re willing to put up with just-woke-up breath for the sake of morning séx.
Your brain notices every touch
There’s way more going on up there than you might think. Researchers
at Rutgers University used fMRI scanners to see exactly what happens in
your brain when you’re aroused. They found that different brain regions
were activated in response to stimulation of the vagína, cervíx,
clitorís, and nipplés. And because your mind is pretty crucial for
arousal, stimulating several of these areas at once can lead to an even
more explosive finish.
You get bigger where it counts
When you’re arouséd, your vagína literally expands to make room for
your guy. The length of your vagína starts out around 3 inches–which is
why it might seem pretty shallow when you’re just putting in a
tampon–but as you get aroused, your uterus is pulled up, lengthening the
vagínal wall to around 5 inches or so, says Debby Herbenick, PhD,
author of
Because It Feels Good. And if you’re with a particularly well-endowed guy, your uterus may get pushed back a bit farther, allowing for even more room.
You feel less pain
There’s a reason that things like nibbling or hair pulling don’t hurt
as much while you’re getting it on. Your pain threshold can increase
significantly during arousal, according to a study published in the
Journal of Séx Research.
While this might make pénetration more comfortable, Herbenick warns
that there could be a downside: “Some people say that they’ve hurt themselves and didn’t realize it until after séx.”
