ABSTRACT
In the Western world, “great sex” is the subject of great contradiction in the public sphere. On the one hand, the pursuit of “amazing” sex is represented in media sources as one of the primary goals of humankind. Despite the evident interest from the general public, the vast majority of the literature on sexual functioning is focused on sexual dysfunction, with thousands of studies on erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low desire, sexual arousal disorder and other kinds of difficulties and problems. Normal sexual functioning, which has received much less research attention, is often equated with normal physiological functioning. Similarly, some of the others who had, of necessity, learned to think outside the box in order to redefine themselves as sexual beings were members of sexual/gender minority groups. An important factor in bringing about magnificent sex might be an individual’s willingness to experiment, to take risks and to question conventional thinking.
