Understanding the Male Arousal Curve

The male arousal curve tends to be shorter and more straightforward than the female curve, often causing men to reach readiness for intercourse before their partners. This common issue can lead to frustration when intimacy is not synchronized. It is crucial for men to recognize their role in ensuring mutual satisfaction, prioritizing their partner's arousal over their own quick satisfaction. Acknowledging this dynamic fosters a more connected experience between partners, establishing a foundation for improved intimacy.
