Healthy Sex Tips for men: Boost bedroom performance, skills and confidence

Maintaining a satisfying sex life goes beyond bedroom skills it starts with a healthy body and mind.
Sex experts insist that good sex begins with good health. Regular exercise, balanced diet, and ditching smoking and excessive alcohol can boost stamina and self-confidence.
For men in Nigeria and Diaspora looking to spice things up, mastering both the mental and physical aspects of intimacy is very vital.
Many believe sex must mirror Hollywood scenes, but true satisfaction lies in mutual understanding and emotional connection with your partner.
Foreplay: The Gateway to Deeper Intimacy
Foreplay remains crucial in unlocking passion. Men are advised to pay attention to how they approach intimacy.
Asking a partner if they want sex might yield rejection not due to disinterest, but due to poor timing, tone, or body language.
Emotional presence matters. Partners appreciate feeling wanted specifically, not just as a means to sexual release.
Men must learn their partner’s triggers and ensure foreplay is more about connection than obligation.
Masturbation: Understanding the Myths and Truths
Masturbation, though often misunderstood, is natural and healthy.
It releases feel-good chemicals and relieves stress. Contrary to myths, it does not harm erections or penis health unless done excessively or with poor technique.
Men are urged to communicate with their partners about masturbation. Some couples even explore it together, learning new pleasure points and deepening trust.
However, if masturbation affects daily function, it could signal a deeper issue needing medical advice.
What Not to Do in Bed
- Rushing sex or treating it as a chore is a major bedroom blunder.
Experts advise that enjoyment must be mutual.
Oral sex or stimulation should never feel like a duty but an act of desire.
Men are warned against expecting applause or automatic reciprocation.
The goal is connection, not compensation. Focus should be on pleasure, not performance.
- Engaging in rough play without consent or safe words.
- Allowing phones or TVs to interrupt intimacy.
- Calling a partner the wrong name.
- Remaining silent—moans and encouragement enhance intimacy.
