In an exclusive interview with MEGA Active, Ava Daza Zanirato discussed the important misconceptions about sex she wants to correct, plus the new and interesting things she learned through her sexual wellness brands
Part of being a happy, healthy person is having a healthy relationship with sex. Sexual wellness doesn’t just concern intimacy with others, but also sexual health in body, mind, and spirit. Despite still being considered a taboo topic, more people are willing to talk about sex, in part due to the actions of local sex experts and enthusiasts that have taken sexual wellness up as an advocacy.

In an exclusive interview with MEGA Active, we asked Ava all our burning questions about the things she’s learned and what she wants others to learn about, too. Here are five major takeaways we got from her interview.
Porn is not reality

First things first, real-life sex is not like what you see in porn. According to Ava, real-life sex can sometimes be ugly and not even feel good, and sometimes you won’t know what to do especially if you’re not experienced with it.
Safe sex is good sex
Make every sexual encounter a safe one, even if it’s casual. According to Ava, it’s important to have sex with safety in mind because it takes just one time to do it wrong for your whole life to change.

You can schedule sex
You can schedule and plan sex instead of relying on spontaneity. Ava says that scheduling sex doesn’t take the excitement out of it. In fact, it gives couples with busy work schedules something to look forward to.
Be comfortable talking about sex
You need to be able to talk about sex if you’re willing to have sex. The opposite was discussed on Ava’s podcast where a guest brought up how some people have a hard time talking about sex to the person they’re currently having sex with. Mentioning how this is true in many cases, Ava emphasized the importance of feeling comfortable to say when something feels good or not.
Immerse yourself in the act
Letting yourself feel free and live in the moment will allow you to enjoy whatever sexual situation you’re in. “Sometimes, you get caught up with everything that’s going on that you don’t get to fully enjoy and immerse yourself,” Ava explained.
