Hi silk lovers just a thought while you lie or have sex lying on your silk bedding if you have never given the silk worm a thought I think it is interesting to know you are not the only ones to mate!
The sex life of silkworms involves distinct behaviours and characteristics, with males typically being smaller and having larger wings than females. MATING can last up to 24 hours, after which females lay eggs
Pheromones
FEMALE silkworms emit specific pheromones, such as bombykol, which trigger mating behaviours in males. Male silkworms possess receptors that are sensitive to these pheromones, aiding in locating females.
This reproductive strategy is essential for the sericulture industry, as MALE silkworms produce higher quality silk than FEMALES. Understanding their sex life helps in breeding practices and improving silk production.
I love my silk bedding and my Pillow case has so many benefits. Sleeping on a silk pillowcase can help skin stay healthy and smooth and can help reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, that cannot be bad?
My face has more contact with my pillowcase (and other things) than any other fabric. So, if I want to keep my face looking refreshed, my choice in bedding is very important. Silk helps keep moisture close to my skin and will help skin stay more hydrated than many fabrics on the market. Sleeping on silk is great option for helping skin maintain its natural moisture.
We constantly come into contact with chemicals, but you can reduce that chemical exposure during your night’s sleep. Silk is produced from domesticated silk worms that are bred and raised in captivity. They have no predators to defend against and are pampered throughout their life, helping to produce a fine silk fiber with little chemical exposure. So when it comes to luxury bedding, this is one of those cases where less really is more.
Sometimes I treat myself to a massage, or a relaxing day at the beach or a quiet evening in the bathtub. Whatever my escape, There is no better feeling then the soft, smooth and luxurious feel of silk against my skin when I go to bed at night. It is truly like having a massage every night. Lucky me and could be YOU!
The natural properties of silk, including its smooth surface, can help reduce friction on my hair which often causes damage, like spilt ends. For my hair, it truly does pay to sleep on a silk pillowcase in my silk pyjamas. Come check out my silk lingerie lets slip and slide on my silken sheets.
