More than just an activity, lovemaking is a skill you can’t want to set aside. Giving your partner more than a good time can help improve your relationship as well as elevate your self-esteem and overall well-being. However, much like any other activity, making love requires a great deal of effort along with proper technique. Both of these diminish as you age or develop underlying conditions that keep you from making the most out of every encounter.

That’s not to say you can’t find ways to boost your performance and leave your partner satisfied. Right now, there are lots of methods you can choose from that will help address any problem, whether it’s finishing early before your partner orgasms or building enough stamina to last the entire night. The tips below should get you started in building a healthy lifestyle so that you will make any night of romance exciting and memorable. 

1. Condition Your Body

Since intercourse requires a great deal of energy, you will need to make sure your body is adequately equipped with the right nutrients and trained to endure even the most aggressive encounters. It all starts with eating right. Staying firm throughout the night will depend entirely on the food you eat, so it matters to consume foods that allow for better blood flow. 

Nutrients found in tomatoes, leafy vegetables, and citrus fruits can help improve circulation, which, in turn, helps you attain and maintain an erection. When it comes to stamina, go for food that’s packed with energy-giving nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, nitrates, potassium, and others that boost muscle health. Since it’s the cornerstone of your overall well-being, a balanced diet could help make your most intimate moments the most intense. 

2. Learn to Manage Your Stress

Apart from your physical health, your mental condition could also elevate or disrupt your sexual appetite and performance. When you’re not in the best state, you’re more likely to experience a reduced sex drive. An abundance of stress hormones could make it harder for you to focus on the act. Not only will stressful thoughts keep you from getting aroused, but they can also impact your self-esteem and make intercourse uncomfortable for both you and your partner. 

Being prone to stress will translate to a diminished sex life, so it matters to stay relaxed throughout the day, especially if you’re planning to make love once you get home. If you have to, consider taking a relaxing bath or getting a massage from your partner at least an hour before intercourse. A subdued mood will help prevent performance anxiety, allowing you to focus more on satisfying your partner. 

3. Make Physical Enhancements

Some factors could affect your sexual performance regardless of how well you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Many of these are biological and, as such, require alterations. For one, if your penis’s size is less than the average for men in your age range, you could opt for a penis enlargement operation that will increase your girth for better arousal. 

Peyronie’s disease, on the other hand, could make intercourse painful and risky, so opting for a penile shortening or grafting operation could be your best bet. When it comes to having a large scrotum, which often causes discomfort, you can reach out to a specialist and learn more about scrotoplasty and find out if your situation calls for one. Healthy living can only do so much when your performance depends entirely on safe physical alterations that solve major sexual hindrances. 

4. Train for Longevity

Along with conditioning your body and investing in physical changes, it’s just as important to improve your body’s response to the demands of lovemaking. For the most part, you will need to improve your cardiovascular condition since good blood flow allows for better arousal. It also builds stamina, which helps you perform longer to your partner’s satisfaction. Consider adding running and swimming to your daily exercise routine. 

As much as you want to focus on stamina-building, you should also enhance your body’s range of motion. Being flexible and adaptable in bed helps decrease pain and discomfort while enhancing sensations during penetration. Consider taking up yoga classes or searching for online cheat sheets showing the best exercises for improving your thrusts. 

5. Stay in Constant Communication

There’s still a long list of ways you can try that will boost your capacity for making love, but as you explore more of these, you need to know your partner has a say on what is satisfying to them. Boosting your performance is also a matter of taking your partner’s advice and collaborating on ideas you can try out.

Aside from supporting each other’s well-being, you should also look for ways to add excitement in bed. You can try roleplaying or shop around for toys and other types of enhancements that complement all other performance-boosting methods.

Endnote

It’s never wise to treat intercourse as just another activity that couples do. Make each encounter count by keeping these tips in mind as you make sure your partner feels satisfied at every opportunity.
