Avocadoes have some sex benefits. They are rich in unsaturated fats, making them very heart-healthy. And a healthy heart keeps the blood flowing to all the right places.

Good or adequate sex life is regular intercourse about three times a week. What makes sex good is not the duration but the quality of sex. A lot of women get better sexual satisfaction if the sex begins outside the bedroom. The suggestive text messages, the gestures, the gifts. The foreplay is also as important as the actual penetration. It’s important for couples to know the erotic zones of their partners and “work” on those areas. Most women have been found to achieve orgasm by just clitoral stimulation than actual penetration.
