Things that can scuttle good sex

Things that can scuttle good
sex

The brain is the body’s most important
sex organ. This well known phrase bears
more than a little truth. Functional sex
organs, appropriate hormone levels, and
the ability to become sexually aroused
alone do not guarantee good sex. Other
factors such as brain factors can get in
the way. These include:
Relationship issues
Tension and emotional distance can
undermine a couple’s sex life. Conflicts
even when it has nothing to do with sex,
like finances or child-raising issues, can
be at the root of a sexual problem. A
sexual issue also can strain a couple’s
ability to get along.
Performance anxiety
When either the man or woman becomes
so worried about sexual performance,
then, sex is not enjoyable, or even
possible. Performance anxiety becomes
more common for both men and women
as they move into their 50s.
Body image and self-esteem
A lot of things could make a person feel
less sexy. Gravity is not kind to the body
as it ages. Childbirth, poor diet, weight
gain, or thinning hair can also leave a
person feeling less than desirable. Such
feelings can get in the way of a sense of
closeness or inspired lovemaking. It can
inhibit a person from initiating or
responding to sexual advances.
Expectations and past experiences
Your sexuality is a natural drive that is
with you from birth, but your family,
culture, religious background, the media,
and your peers shape your attitudes
toward sex. For some people, this history
supports a healthy enjoyment of sex. For
others, it complicates sexual relationships.
Stress and lifestyle changes
Stress and fatigue can quickly sap your
sex drive. Stress can hit from any
direction; challenging children, financial
worries, aging parents, health concerns,
career woes, and more. An overload of
competing demands may keep you and
your partner from nurturing your
relationship, sexual and otherwise.

Fani-Kayode marital story

Nigerians are urged to discountenance the disparaging remarks made against Chief Femi Fani-Kayode in the publication. As a member of the Fani-Kayode family and one who has followed closely the life and career of Femi-Fani-Kayode for almost 50 years, I believe it is pertinent for me to set the record straight. In 1989 or thereabout, Femi got involved with Yemisi Adeniji, the daughter of Justice Adeniji of the Lagos State high court. He had been married previously to his first wife, Saratu Attah, in 1987, and had a child with Saratu whose name is Folake who was born in 1987 but by that time Saratu and Femi had separated. Yemisi and Femi got very close and spent much of the time together and eventually she got pregnant. When she got pregnant, the issue of marriage came up. Femi’s father, the late Chief Remilekun Fani-Kayode, objected to the marriage because he believed that Yemisi was not a stable character and was not a serious minded person. He also had lots of contempt for her ba...
