The 5 Keys To Erotic Growth: How To Develop Your Own Sexuality
Although sex is a completely natural aspect of life, that does not mean that knowledge regarding this topic comes to us spontaneously, without us having to do anything special to achieve it.
So much so that even those who have been having an active sexual life for many years do so in a very limited way, or falling into all kinds of mistakes (theoretical and/or practical) time after time. Of course, the fact that talking about sex is practically forbidden in various social contexts does not help, but even in those situations that lend themselves more to sharing ideas and experiences, it is common to expose ourselves to a large number of myths about sexuality.
That is why it is essential to develop one’s sexuality based on something more than simply “popular wisdom.” The learning process known as erotic growth It has to be based on scientific research in the field of sexology.
The concept of “erotic growth” refers to the progressive learning of one’s own eroticism and sexuality; Therefore, it consists of internalizing knowledge of an eminently practical and emotional nature (that is, it goes beyond words) and that they apply above all to oneself, and not necessarily to all human beings. Therefore, it is closely related to the processes of self-knowledge.
These are the fundamental ideas that will allow you to take advantage of this process.
1. Stop having as a reference what others do
Assuming that the best way to enhance one’s own erotic growth is to pay attention to what others say or do in relation to their sexual lives is to limit oneself greatly. In fact, we do not have to assume that the people around us in our daily lives who do not have training in sexology or related sciences know more about sex than we do.
Therefore, it must be clear that Although it is necessary to have a series of general theoretical knowledge, these are not sufficient to understand our own potential to live sexuality, nor can we obtain them from any source
2. Underneath an apparent inability to enjoy sex, there may be many prejudices
There are many people who very easily assume that they cannot enjoy sex like most people do. However, In most cases this has to do with psychological limitations, not medical or biological ones That does not mean that they can be knocked down overnight (believing that would inevitably lead to frustration), but it is important to take it into account to get used to leaving the comfort zone.
3. There are no orthodox ways to enjoy sexually
Beyond respect for people’s rights, there are no wrong ways to enjoy sexuality. Thus, It is important to discard the idea that there is a “core” way of experiencing sex and that there are deviations outside of it: Neither science nor the ethical model with which free societies operate support this idea.
4. Erotic growth involves knowing yourself psychologically and physically
In this process there is no radical separation between mind and body: Both realities overlap each other and work in unison to give rise to enjoyment, which is a material and immaterial phenomenon at the same time. In the same way that we must go beyond genitality to enhance our own sexual development, we must not forget that the material context that surrounds us greatly influences how we experience sex.
5. Asking for help is normal
Seeking professional help in the field of sexology and psychotherapy does not mean being weak nor that we are “broken”; It is the most effective and intelligent way to face difficulties in this facet of life.
