In 2013, many exciting discoveries were made in the world of sex.

From new treatments for erectile dysfunction to groundbreaking research on the female orgasm, there were many breakthroughs that will change the way we approach sexual health and pleasure. In this article, we’ll explore the top 10 sex discoveries of 2013.

1. New Treatments for Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction affects millions of men worldwide, and until recently there were few effective treatments. But in 2013, researchers made major strides in developing new therapies for ED.

One of the most promising approaches is shockwave therapy, which uses low-intensity sound waves to improve blood flow to the penis. Another promising treatment is a topical gel containing the drug nitroglycerin, which has been shown to improve sexual function in men with ED. These new options provide hope for men who previously had little recourse for their condition.

2. The Clitoris is Larger Than We Thought

For years, scientists believed that the external part of the clitoris – the glans – was the only part of the clitoris that was worth studying.

But in 2013, researchers used MRI scans to reveal that the clitoris is actually much larger than we realized – it extends deep into the vagina and has complex internal structures. This research sheds new light on the female sexual anatomy and may help us to understand the female orgasm better.

3. Testosterone Therapy May Help Women with Low Libido

Low libido is a common problem among women, but until recently, there were few effective treatments. In 2013, researchers found that testosterone therapy may be effective at increasing sexual desire in women with low libido.

This finding is important because it provides a new option for women who have struggled with low libido and may be hesitant to try other treatments like hormonal birth control or antidepressants.

4. The G-Spot May Not Exist

The G-spot has been a topic of debate for decades. Some women report experiencing a heightened sense of pleasure when their G-spot is stimulated, while others claim that it doesn’t exist at all.

In 2013, researchers analyzed 17 studies on the subject and found that there was little evidence to support the existence of a distinct G-spot. While this finding is controversial, it may help women who have felt pressure to find their G-spot and have been frustrated by their inability to do so.

5. A New Type of Male Birth Control

For years, birth control has been primarily the responsibility of women. But in 2013, researchers made progress on a new type of male birth control – an injection that works by blocking the release of sperm.

While this method is still in clinical trials, it provides hope for couples who want to share the responsibility of birth control and may lead to more options for men in the future.

6. Sexual Orientation May Be Hardwired in the Brain

There has been a long-standing debate about whether sexual orientation is a choice or something that people are born with.

In 2013, researchers used MRI scans to study the brains of gay and straight men and found that there were significant differences in brain structure and function. These findings suggest that sexual orientation may be hardwired in the brain, providing support for the idea that being gay is not a choice.

7. Hormonal Birth Control May Affect Attraction to Partners

Many women report changes in sexual attraction when they start taking hormonal birth control, but until recently, there was little research on the subject.

In 2013, researchers found that women who were on hormonal birth control were less likely to be attracted to masculine men – a finding that has important implications for attraction and mate selection.

8. Orgasms May Help Alleviate Menstrual Cramps

For many women, menstrual cramps are a monthly source of pain and discomfort. In 2013, researchers found that orgasms may actually help to alleviate menstrual cramps.

This discovery provides a natural way to treat menstrual pain and suggests that orgasms may have additional health benefits beyond sexual pleasure.

9. The Rise of Sex-Positive Culture

2013 saw a rise in sex-positive culture, with more people embracing a healthy, open-minded approach to sexuality.

From the popularity of the book “Fifty Shades of Grey” to the success of sex-positive bloggers and educators, there is a growing movement towards accepting and embracing diverse sexual preferences and lifestyles.

10. The Benefits of Masturbation

For years, masturbation was considered taboo and shameful. But in 2013, researchers found that masturbation may actually have health benefits, including reducing stress and improving sleep quality.

This finding promotes a positive attitude towards self-pleasure and encourages people to explore their sexuality in a safe and healthy way.

Conclusion

In 2013, we saw many exciting discoveries in the world of sex. From new treatments for erectile dysfunction to groundbreaking research on the female orgasm, these discoveries will have a lasting impact on how we approach sexual health and pleasure.

As we move forward into the future, it’s important to continue to study, research, and explore the many facets of human sexuality.
