They just might open previously untapped ways to achieve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/guide-to-female-orgasm\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">body-shaking orgasms<\/a> and\/or a deeper connection with your bedroom partner.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>P.S.

Using Sex Toys When You\u2019re Partnered<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re no stranger to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/sex-toy-guide\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">sex toys<\/a> and love to get your rocks off with them solo, it could be worth busting them out for partner play. Dr. Queen says the accompanying stigma is associated with the idea that \u201cyour partner should be all you need,\u201d and sometimes even a greater taboo around masturbation itself.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Invite your partner along for the full journey, explaining the what and why behind your interest in using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/types-of-sex-toys\/\">sex toys<\/a> as a team. \u201cSuggest to go shopping together and think about the kinds of fantasies the toys might inspire you to try,\u201d Dr. Queen shares. She notes that toys can bridge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/orgasms-and-your-brain\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">orgasm deficits<\/a> with standard intercourse, and a worthy partner should absolutely be on board to boost your arousal and juicy release.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-women-taking-the-lead-in-heterosexual-relationships\">3. Women Taking the Lead in Heterosexual Relationships<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Plain and simple: Dr. Queen says this sex taboo is attributed to \u201cold-fashioned sex-role stereotyping, with the woman \u2018supposed to be\u2019 submissive to the man.\u201d <em>Blech.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> \u201cExplore and work out ways to make your relationship as egalitarian as you can. Sex roles and different kinds of play may come easier when that&#8217;s a value you share,\u201d she continues. Some men may also get turned on by a woman taking the lead, so partner compatibility may play a role here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-dominant-color=\"735e63\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #735e63;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sex-taboos.jpg\" alt=\"sex taboos\" class=\"wp-image-39187 not-transparent\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-deviating-from-sexual-norms-in-long-term-relationships\">4. Deviating from Sexual Norms in Long-Term Relationships<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been booed up for a while and tend to fall back to the same sex positions or style\u2014that is, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/how-often-should-couples-have-sex\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">if you\u2019re having sex at all<\/a>\u2014breaking out from that rut can seem intimidating and out of left field. According to Dr. Queen, taking action to spice things up can feel like a taboo as \u201cwe&#8217;re not really encouraged to embrace our fluidity or the many ways a relationship might look over time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> The same honesty and transparency you deserve and desire in your relationship crosses over to the bedroom, as well. Few sexual beings want to live with years of lackluster sex, bad, or no sex at all. \u201cBe honest with each other about your sex life and how it&#8217;s going,\u201d Dr. Queen advises. Over time, a lot of things change in your body, your partner, and your relationship, and sexual check-ins can work to everyone\u2019s benefit. Honest communication \u201cwill help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/foods-for-perimenopause-diet\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">tackle perimenopause<\/a> and many other shifts,\u201d the sexologist continues. \u201cMost people don&#8217;t have the exact same sex life at 50 that they did at 20! Embrace that, don&#8217;t fight it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Speaking of perimenopause, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/19\/hormone-balance\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\">HORMONE BALANCE<\/a> supplement may be a good option for you!

Engaging in Threesomes or Throuples<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>\u201cCouple consciousness and heteronormativity underlie this taboo,\u201d Dr. Queen shares. But if some handy dandy communication can overcome uncertainty, reluctance, or stigma\u2014so long as all parties are on board. \u201cAll of these taboo pleasures must be engaged in consensually,\u201d she reminds us. \u201cAnd the definition of consent is not: <em>My partner really really wants to do it so I said okay even though it doesn&#8217;t sound erotic to me.<\/em>\u201d Preach!<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Testing the waters with this so-called sex taboo is something all parties\u2014including the third partner\u2014need to be completely interested in. \u201cStart by talking about how an ideal situation might look to you so communication and negotiation can be clear as you explore with a third person,\u201d suggests Dr. Queen. In addition, be sure to discuss how you\u2019ll navigate safe sex.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-trying-out-group-sex-or-sex-parties\">6. Trying Out Group Sex or Sex Parties<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Dr. Queen notes that the idea of casual sex in a group environment, whether you show up solo or partnered, largely remains taboo to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Overcoming and engaging in this perceived sex taboo will require some due diligence on your part. \u201cUnless you are going to throw your own party, you will need to explore options (in your town, on vacation, etc.),\u201d Dr. Queen notes. Moreover, she highly advises trying this out if you\u2019re good participants to begin with\u2014that is, comfortable with sexual exploration and communication and respectful of boundaries\u2014so you\u2019ll be an asset to the party.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-engaging-in-consensual-exhibitionism\">7. Engaging in Consensual Exhibitionism<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Emphasis on the word consensual and engaging in such acts on a fully legal basis (!). Dr. Queen says some people may think of exhibitionism as slutty or untasteful\u2014but so long as you find comfort and pride in it, <em>you do you, boo<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> If exhibitionism and\/or voyeurism are kinks you want to explore, Dr. Queen says this could look like setting up an OnlyFans account or performing at an amateur night at a strip club. It could also entail inviting a consenting third party to watch your play time, or even swap out a partner. Her parting word to the wise: \u201cThink it through before you put yourself out there, especially if you are going to post pics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-roleplay\">8. Roleplay<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>\u201cRoleplay allows us to play-act our way out of normative boundaries, even if just for a while,\u201d Dr. Queen explains. \u201cIt can be especially taboo when it plays with power and social status.\u201d On the other hand, it can be the magic sauce to get you and your partner off in deliciously intense ways.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Of course, both parties will need to consent, as well as sufficiently communicate (or even negotiate, as needed). \u201cIn roleplay, as in other kinds of kink, you must be able to set your limits, state your desires, and create a safe space to explore,\u201d says Dr. Queen.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-pegging-anal-play-on-men\">9. Pegging (Anal Play on Men)<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Dr. Queen clarifies a common misconception around anal play\u2014in this context, when a woman uses a strap-on to peg a heterosexual man. As far as the taboo goes, \u201cThe idea that anal is only enjoyed by gay men makes this a homophobic context. But it is also about sex roles, since penetration is assumed to be a form of submission.\u201d However, the truth is that anal play has the ability to yield pleasure for consenting adults of any sex and sexual orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you\u2019re a reluctant heterosexual man or your partner is, Dr. Queen says that it\u2019s crucial to break free of the taboo of submission if that\u2019s the main obstacle to exploration. (That is, unless submission is part of your roleplaying experimentation\u2014then go all in.) On a parting note, she leaves some sage advice for those interested in trying out this quote-unquote sex taboo for the first time. \u201cLearn all about the three rules you must respect for any kind of anal: relaxation, lubrication, and communication.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div  class=\"cta-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10 p-px md:rounded bg-white text-black relative  bg-no-repeat bg-cover aspect-[83\/48]\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/BlogBackground_Quiz.jpg);\" >\n\n\t<div class=\"p-4 sm:p-6 w-[70%] md:w-2\/3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-2xl md:text-3xl font-display font-bold uppercase\">Build Your Supplement Routine<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"btn btn-large btn-primary mt-4 md:mt-8 !no-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/get_started\" target=\"_blank\">Take The HUM Quiz<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever had a sexual fantasy only to feel ashamed about it thereafter?
