You may be vocal in your career and can easily share your ideas, opinions, and thoughts during a corporate meeting.
In the gym, you may really get into a heavy lifting session and find yourself occasionally grunting in between huffing and puffing. It may even make you feel like a total badass (which you are, by the way) — but what about in the bedroom? Are you vocal there?
Moaning in the bedroom, during foreplay, and throughout sex is fun — and let’s be real, it feels good to moan. Moaning may awaken your sexual inhibitions and it may enhance your and your partner’s sexual pleasure. Plus, it’s good to moan. (There are reasons.)
Here’s everything you need to know about moaning and the meaning of moans.
Moaning and the meaning of moans
Silence in the bedroom can make sex, well, pretty awkward, which can make it difficult to relax and fully immerse yourself in the moment. Plus, silence can make it challenging to figure out if what you and your partner are doing feels good to one another. This is why it’s good to moan.
A little bit of noise during sex is a great thing. Sounds during sex are an effective way to communicate that you’re enjoying what your partner is doing and that you want more of it and vice versa. Adding in a few gentle sighs and soft moans, trembles, or whimpers is all you need — nothing crazy.
Don’t fake it
Moaning encourages your partner to keep touching you because it’s being perceived as something you’re enjoying and that’s pleasurable to you. When you fake it, you’re encouraging your partner to keep touching you in ways that aren’t actually producing general pleasure — and that’s not good for anyone.
Think about it: You’re not getting what you really want, your partner is being duped by thinking what they’re doing is great when in all actuality, it’s not, and all future sexual endeavors together could potentially be ruined.
That’s right folks: Say so long to multiple orgasms and forget about having fun finding new types of orgasms. How can you explore something fun and new if you’re constantly faking it? Do you and your partner a favor and just be honest. Shoot it to them straight but in a kind way. Remember, kind candor is key.
Aliyah Moore, PhD, a certified sex therapist for SexualAlpha, says communication is important. “You need to tell and show your partner what works and does not,” she says. “This could be during a normal conversation or during sex itself. Try to let yourself react freely and let them listen.”
The bottom line: it’s good to moan
Making noise during sex by moaning can be a turn-on, adding fuel to your and your partner’s sexual fire. However, it’s important that you’re not moaning just because you think it’s what you should do in order to be a good sexual partner.
Sounds, like moaning, are an easy and fun way to communicate with your partner when you’re in the heat of the moment, so make sure you’re conveying accurate information. If something your partner is doing isn’t doing it for you, then gently nudge them in the right direction or show them how you like it yourself. That may really turn them on. Just don’t forget to moan!
