Keep ‘sex flame’ burning

- Hi Doc Rica, RICA CRUZ

Seven years na kami together ng boyfriend ko. Sexually active kami for the past two years. Madami akong nababasa na it’s not the size that matters pero what he can do with it. Pero parang medyo nagiging boring na. And of course, we want to spice things up naman. Mas interested akong malaman kung meron pa bang other uses of the penis apart from the in and out action? Salamat in advance. Table Salt

Hi to you, Table Salt,

I am glad that your relationsh­ip seems to be going strong to last for 7 years. It is also amazing that you were able

to take that step in sexual activeness. Minsan medyo challenge talaga to keep things interestin­g especially when you have been together for quite long. Pero wag kang mag-alala maraming ways to “spice things up.”

Well debated topic ang does size matter when it comes to the penis. Kailangan mo din maging mas open minded when considerin­g various sexual activities. Madaming other activities that are sexy enough to be alternativ­e to just penile penetratio­n. Oral sex, hand jobs are other common activities worth exploring. Kailangan nyo pag usapan

ang pleasure in general. The best way is to ask and explore. You have to understand and know what makes sex pleasurabl­e for you. During foreplay, explore which parts of your bodies want to be touched, licked, kissed or kung ano pa man. This goes both ways. Use other parts of your bodies to stimulate each other’s genitals and pleasure points.

A huge part of the sexual experience starts with the brain. May sex, role playing, fantasies or even toys that you can use to keep the flames burning. Pinakamaha­laga ang open communicat­ion nyo dito. With the exploratio­n, I hope

the two of you are also able to be mindful of reducing risk and keeping it safe. Always enjoy and be safe!

With Love and Lust, Doc Rica
