Beauty Beheld

Whenever there’s talk about intimacy, physical attractiveness and beauty get mentioned as important factors for good sex.

Humans are visual creatures, after all, and what we see in the media only reinforces the belief that looks are everything when it comes to sex and relationships.

We are all taught what is considered attractive in our particular culture and what is not. This upbringing is hard to ignore.
