Nature of Sexuality

The human body undergoes various rhythmical influences. Day and night cycles, physiological cycles and year cycles can have different impacts on our organism and sexuality in particular.

Hormones and sexuality

The female body produces estrogen and progesterone hormones that give balance to the menstrual cycle, making it occur with certain regularity. These hormones are the most important in regulating a female’s cycle. If you have an impetuous temper, high sexual activity and at the same time are feminine and have a deep voice you likely have a high estrogen level. On the other side, low estrogen levels lead to a decrease in libido.

Sexual appetite is more subject to testosterone influence. Men have a greater amount of testosterone that determines their bodies’ image and physiological functioning. Women's level of testosterone is far lower. If women had the same level of testosterone as men it would be a shock for their systems.

Physiological cycles and sexuality

A woman’s sexual activity changes in accordance with her menstrual cycle. There is an assumption that this may be connected with the change of estrogen level. From the 1st to the 5th day of menstruation when both estrogen and progesterone levels are low a woman is less attuned to any sexual activity.

From the 6th to the 14th day estrogen is increasing together with overall high spirits. From the 14th to the 21st day after ovulation, estrogen is at the highest level thus having a positive influence on a woman’s physical and emotional state.

During this period a woman is very sensitive and receptive to smells. She pays special attention to her appearance and unconsciously makes efforts to draw a man's attention. Changes that occur in pheromone composition attract the opposite sex. Don't be surprised if you see her at a sex toyshop during this period. From a biological point of view, this behavior can be explained by the fact that a woman subconsciously is seeking a man for procreation.

From the 22nd to the 27th day when progesterone level is increasing many woman experience PMS (premenstrual syndrome). At this time woman can feel tension, get easily irritated, get headaches and feel sick. Women are less sexually aroused during this period.

Although men do not have these "peculiarities" they also are influenced by cycles to a certain degree. Testosterone cycles are 22 days but this cycle is more difficult to distinguish. Specialists say that if a man becomes less initiative and sluggish his testosterone is at the low end of the curve. Pregnancy, surgical operations and menopause change hormonal states in various ways. If these problems arise a woman and a man can choose hormonal therapy along with the usage of some sex toys that will keep them "fit". Birth control pills can also heighten or lower sexual appetite to some extent.

Day and year cycles

There is a theory that woman have a higher libido around 10 pm while men feel a higher sexual urge between 7 am and 9 am. The question is when should the get together for the best sexual encounter? 4pm is usually the time when a man and woman’s cycle is the most compatible.

Human sexuality also changes during the year. Libido peaks during the spring (particularly March) and autumn (October though November). But if you have sex toys at your disposal you shouldn’t follow these cycles. You can enjoy yourself anytime you want.

Of course this shouldn't be taken as rule. Everyone has their own cycles of physical activity because hormonal influences undergo individual changes that might be subject to one’s spirits, stress and emotional state.
