Male sex toys in particular are useful in helping a man take ownership over his sexuality so that toys aren't all about female pleasure. Many men report that masturbation are a great improvement over just using their hand. In fact, prostate toys can actually improve prostate health and penis rings can help with mild forms of erectile dysfunction.

One of the main misconceptions about male sex toys is that they are only for gay men. This couldn't be farther from the truth. More and more hetero guys are getting in on the pleasure and usefulness of male sex toys.

5 Exercises For Better Sex! CONTINUED

4. Push-Ups - Everyone should do push-ups, but women who love doggystyle or reverse missionary positions can add a lot to their performance. Start on the floor with your hands shoulder width apart. Keeping your body in a straight line, lower yourself until your elbows are at about a 90 degree angle. Then push back up. Push-ups work your upper body and abs. The extra arm strength is great for holding yourself up or pushing yourself back to meet your partner's movements.

5. Hip Thrusts - A great exercise for both men and women, hip thrusts bolster your ability to push your hips up while you're lying on your back, making them amazing for any position where you're underneath. Start lying on your back, knees bent, feet shoulder width apart. Lift your butt and clench your abs so that your body is in a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Then lower yourself back down. Get your hip thrusts in and you'll definitely notice the results.

Try adding some or all of these exercises to your regular regimen and see if you see the difference in the bedroom. As always, consult with your Doctor before you start any new exercise program, and seek assistance from a qualified trainer to help you learn the correct ways to perform each exercise.

Desserts Of Desire Ingredients

Chocolate - It's not just for Valentine's Day anymore. Among the royalty of natural aphrodisiacs, chocolate supplies anandimide, a feel-good chemical. PEA (phenylethylamine) lets loose torrents of dopamine -- which peaks during orgasm.

Honey - So sweet and full of boron, the trace mineral needed to help the body use estrogen, the female sex hormone. Honey also helps testosterone, promoting the sex drive and orgasms in both men and women.

Figs - Adam and Eve nibbled on them in the Garden of Eden, before things got "complicated" for the First Couple. A great source of potassium and a powerful anti-oxidant, to boot.

Bananas - Delightfully suggestive in shape, you can peel ‘n' eat one for a good strong dose of potassium for improved muscle strength (stronger muscles means stronger orgasms!).

Whipped Cream - Actually, nothing in whipped cream helps make you hornier, or perform better sexually. But how about that naughty, decadent feeling you get every time you use it?

Bring some flavor into your bedroom with flavored lubes. They're fun, they're tasty and they encourage all kinds of delicious behavior!
