Want to Sleep Better? Have More Sex

Beyond sex

Any sex expert worth their salt will tell you it’s not just the completion of the act, but the act itself.

As Khan mentioned, hormones that may help you sleep are released just by being close and intimate with someone, even if it doesn’t involve sex.

But since the bedroom is made for either sleep or sex, there are a few small things you can do to keep that space sacred. That includes removing distractions like TVs, tablets, phones, and anything else with a screen that isn’t a window.

Brantner says staring at your phone right before bed can mess up your circadian rhythm, or the body’s natural sync with the sun. Also, he says, research suggests it also contributes to partner dissatisfaction.

“If you’re staring at your device, you aren’t cuddling, you aren’t conversing, and you’re definitely not having sex,” he said. “In other words, you’re ignoring your partner.”

So, if you’re reading this in bed, put your smartphone away and talk with your partner about sharing a hormone-filled experience in the bedroom.

‘White Lotus’ Star Sam Nivola on That ‘F—ed Up’ Sex Scene, Lochlan’s Sexuality and Why ‘He’s Not Some Psychopath’

SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 6 of “The White Lotus,” now streaming on Max.

In Season 1 of “The White Lotus,” Murray Bartlett’s spiraling hotel manager Armond is caught with his face between his much younger employee’s asscheeks. And in Season 2, Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya spots her assistant’s beau Jack (Leo Woodall) plowing his purported uncle, Quentin (Tom Hollander).

That turned out not to be incest — Quentin hired Jack to fictional to be his nephew as part of Greg’s (Jon Gries) scheme to kill Tanya and inherit her coins — but maker Mike White went even further for Season 3 of his HBO vacation dramedy.

In last week’s episode, brothers Lochlan (Sam Nivola) and Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) went out partying with Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) and Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood), popping pills, pounding shots and taking Greg’s yacht for a joy go. After their island escapades, the foursome return to the boat and begin playing spi

Sexual health for same-sex attracted and bisexual men

Having unprotected penetrative sex is the most likely way to pass on a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Using a condom helps shield against HIV and lowers the risk of getting many other STIs.

If you’re a man having sex with men (MSM), without condoms and with someone unused, you should have an STI and HIV examine every 3 months, otherwise, it should be at least once a year. This can be done at a sexual health clinic (SHC) or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic. This is important, as some STIs do not generate any symptoms.

Hepatitis A

Hepatitis A is a liver infection that's spread by a virus in poo.

Hepatitis A is uncommon in the UK but you can earn it through sex, including oral-anal sex ("rimming") and giving oral sex after anal sex. MSM with multiple partners are particularly at risk. You can also get it through contaminated food and drink.

Symptoms of hepatitis A can materialize up to 8 weeks after sex and encompass tiredness and feeling sick (nausea).

Hepatitis A is not usually life-threatening and most people make a entire recovery within a couple of months.

MSM can shun getting hepatitis A by:
