These are constantly fun times, devoid of the stress of prospering and getting to know each other’s bodies and seeing that your body and sex are working.
HOW TO ACHIEVE VAGINAL RELAXATION
In your corner, for everything to go well, you require sufficient enjoyment, one that causes excellent lubrication associated with vaginal relaxation. This is attained by long foreplay, at least 20 minutes of non-sexual caresses and hugs prior to moving on to the genital area.

And if you are postmenopausal without hormone treatment, consult your medical professional to ask him for regional vaginal hormonal treatment. This treatment permits the vulva and vaginal area to be well hydrated, extremely “soft” and not to become fragile and hypersensitive after menopause.
AND HOW TO GET GOOD ERECTIONS
When it comes to your buddy, after a disturbance of sexuality of more than six months, a man often has less excellent erections when he starts his sexual life once again. And solo masturbation in the meantime doesn’t alter that. When sex resumes, erections slowly return to regular.
To avoid this sometimes difficult time for a male, he can ask his doctor to recommend him an erection medication. This medication can act as a starter at the beginning, like for an automobile that has actually been in the garage for a long time!
This kind of prescription is extremely common (if there is no contraindication) and allows many guys to resume a sexual life that they would not have had the courage to begin once again for fear of failure.
