They might also live without the desire for sex for longer periods than men. Though they love sex, they need to stay safe before getting into sexual activity, which helps them decide if they need it or not. So, instill trust in your partner and be sensitive to the feelings that will make her give her best to you.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1747645572509\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How can I\u00a0 know before marriage that I am sexually fit?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A semen analysis test is done to see if the man\u2019s sperm count is in the healthy range. It is recommended that you do this before marriage to stay on the safer side. While male infertility is a factor in many cases, female infertility is also common. About one-third of infertility cases are attributed to male factors, one-third to female factors, and one-third to both or unexplained causes.\u00a0\u00a0<br>Tests for sexually transmitted infections should also be done.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1747645630579\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Should women engage in sexual intercourse when they are on their periods?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Many people debate about the safety and merits of period sex. Unless you are extremely uncomfortable with the idea of having sex during your period, it is completely safe to do so. Additionally, when you have sex during your period you can enjoy the following benefits:\u00a0<br><strong>-Shorter period:<\/strong> muscle contractions at the time of period tend to push out uterine content faster making your period short.\u00a0<br><strong>-Increased libido:<\/strong> Many women have reported increased sex drive during their period which means they will experience greater pleasure<br>\u2013<strong>Relief from period pain<\/strong>: At the time of orgasm, the uterine muscles contract and then release, which lowers the pain associated with cramps<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1747645705266\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Is it safe to have sex during pregnancy?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In most cases, it is safe to have sex during your pregnancy. The baby is protected by the amniotic fluid and the uterus\u2019s muscular walls. So, there is no risk of harming the baby during penetrative sex. However, you should avoid sex if your doctor has specifically asked you to due to past history of miscarriages, your placenta is too low in the uterus, you are expecting twins or triplets or you are in the final weeks of your pregnancy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1747645742002\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How long should one wait after delivery to have sex again?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You should ideally wait for about 4-6 weeks before you can resume your sexual activity after you have given birth. If you feel uncomfortable even after 6 weeks, ensure to wait a little longer. Talk to your doctor about this.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"References\"><\/span><strong>References<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Gianotten WL, Alley JC, Diamond LM.
