Kinds of orientation

Sexual orientation is a spectrum ranging from emotional, physical and sexual attraction to your own sex, to the opposite sex, to neither or to both.

If you’re attracted to people of the opposite sex, it’s called being straight (heterosexual). If you’re attracted to people of the same sex, it’s called being gay (homosexual).

Gay is a general term for men and women who are attracted to their own sex, but often used to describe men who like other men. A lesbian is a gay woman. If you’re attracted to both women and men, you’re probably bisexual. If you feel little or no sexual attraction to anyone, you could be asexual.

For many people, sexuality is more of a sliding scale than simply ‘straight or gay’. You can be attracted to someone of the same sex even though you don’t identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Perhaps you’re a woman who usually likes men, but you find yourself feeling attracted to another woman. That doesn’t mean you’re a lesbian. Your sexual orientation is the overall pattern of sexual and romantic attraction that you experience throughout your life.

Sexuality is complicated. You can’t choose your sexual orientation, but you can learn to understand it.

I am happily married. Rocking sex life.pretty wife. I have been toying with the idea of getting pegged by my wife using a strap on dildo. I am not attracted to guys and would not want a guy to do it. My wife thinks I may be a closet bisexual. At times I have looked at nude males on internet but that is primarily to compare my package. What does this make me?
It not uncommon for some hetrosexual men to have thoughts and interests about other men. Been curious to know what your friend at the gym looks like while in the shower? - it's just curiosity. the strap on - I know many married couples where the man wants to experience penetration and the feeling of prostate massage (very nice) And having your wife rim you is a whole new level - try it some time Curiosity is healthy - Maybe Hetro-curious may suit you?
Bete yadi yeh sex unsafe tha toh yes ismein pregnancy ke chances ho skate hain. Iske liye phoren ek home pregnancy test lijiye.

Okay! Suniye ladka ya ladki peda karna na apke hath mein hai na apki wife ke. Aur na hi iska koi special upaye hai ki who hum apko bata sake.

Aur ek swasth aur healthy baby chahe wo ladka ho ya ladki ki umeed kijiye.
Beta jaldi hone se koi baat nahin, dont worry. So sabse pehle toh apni partner ki body ko samjh lo- usko time de do. Aur bête Yadi shareer menin uttejna adhik hogi, sex ki bhavna zyada hogi toh sheeghr patan hone ki sambhavna bhi adhik hee hogee. aisee stithi mein, partner par focus badhana, foreplay , yaani ki pravesh karne se pehle bahut se alag alag kriyaein karna , jinse dono ko aanand mile, apne partner kee uttejna badhana, yeh sab activitys sabse zaroori hain. iske ilava, partner ke saath sex karne se pehle, ek baar hast maithun kar saktey hain, utne samay pehele jitne mein ling mein tanaav aa jaaye.

Lekin kya yeh aapko sahi lagta hai, sawaal yeh hai, yadi nahin toh mana kar deejiye aur unhe samjha deejiye ki aapko yeh theek nahin lag raha. Saath hee saath yeh bhi ho sakta hai ki yadi mooh mei choot bhi jaye toh aap turant use baahr thook dein, andear lene ki koi zaroorat nahin. Mukh maithun ka eke hen pehlu hai atyant saaf safai – dono partners keliye, iska dhyaan rakhiye. All the best beta. https://lovematters.in/hi/making-love/ways-to-make-love/oral-sex-dos-and-donts

Arre bhai, ling ko apnea am stithi pe bhi to waapis aana hai na? Isme lagbhag 45 mins se1 hour lag sakta hai, ya zyada ya kum. Yeh bohot common hain, so don't worry! Yeh link padh leejiye : http://lovematters.in/hi/resource/ways-make-love
That is a very sad situation beta, but don’t worry. The thing is perhaps you need to ask her about what she likes and enjoys in sex… what is she missing and what she wants in sex. The other thing is you may want to check how comfortable she is how relaxed and is she has any fears around having sex. Also ensure she has no infection or discomfort in and around her vagina, which could also be the problem. Get to know her body better, talk to her and find out what she is looking for. I hope this helps. https://lovematters.in/en/news/pain-during-sex-suffering-silence
