How To Climax Into A Healthy Pregnancy

Did you know working on that orgasm can get you pregnant faster?

You may be trying to conceive, and although some couples report to experience a lull in their sex lives as a result of what can become the "trying to conceive" rollercoaster and/or long standing infertility--it is important to reframe your thoughts around being intimate with your partner.

While the female orgasm is not necessarily required for conception, it does greatly increase the chances of becoming pregnant. Proper arousal causes an increase in female secretions, and reaching climax increases them further; these fluids make it easier for sperm to reach their destination. Scientific studies now show that the muscle contractions which occur during orgasm create a type of suction, pulling fluids (and sperm) closer to the womb. The enjoyable bodily sensations along with the positive emotional effect on the relationship are incentives to keep doing the deed; which is imperative for those wishing to conceive.

It is important whilst trying to get pregnant to try to view intimacy with your partner as a way to reconnect as opposed to another stressful (possibly 'failed attempt'). It is important to aim to still make sex fun! It certainly is a delightful way of strengthening the intimacy and bond with your significant other. It also relaxes mind and body while helping to ease stress. Even the pleasurable conclusion of the experience plays a role in the reproductive aspect of it all. While the sexual response of a man is physically gratifying for him, its role in conception (ejaculation of sperm) is quite obvious. However, the reproductive value of female orgasm has been somewhat neglected whilst being the subject of much debate, in both biological and psychological studies for decades. If in doubt, aim for it.

GETTING THERE IS HALF THE FUN...
For women in particular, arousal prior to intercourse can be a determining factor in their level of enjoyment. The arousal stage increases blood circulation to the pelvic region (which increases sensitivity), increases secretions and makes intercourse physically comfortable and pleasurable. Embracing, caressing and kissing are comforting and intimate displays of affection which affect emotions and initiate feelings of arousal. Many couples like to employ more explicit foreplay techniques to heighten arousal further.

WHEN IT'S NOT FUN...
Sadly, there is a significant number of women worldwide who experience 'sexual difficulties'; meaning that they have difficulty becoming aroused and/or cannot reach orgasm. This has a profound, negative psychological impact on a woman and often leads to relationship problems as well. Causes of dysfunction can be physical, psychological or both. To help prevent and remedy this issue here are some 3 simple ways to help get you over the edge.

1 ) POSSIBLE CAUSES OF DIFFICULTIES:
:: Pressure around trying to conceive or long standing infertility

A WORD OF CAUTION...
Self-prescription is not recommended; consult with a competent and qualified naturopath or herbalist before starting on any form of herbal treatment. Many herbs cannot be used during pregnancy or with other medicines. If you have a health condition, are on medication, are pregnant or trying to become pregnant it is imperative to consult a professional when considering herbal remedies. DO NOT use herbs, topical applications or change medication dosages without consulting your health care professional first. Too much of a remedy may harm you, too little will not give you the desired effect and you may miss out on the great benefits of natural treatment.
