Single and Loving It

That word ’spinster’ has always irritated me. It just sounds miserable – ripe with judgment, shame and doom. Let’s toss it in the Vocab Graveyard. So, what’s the comparable term for men? ‘Bachelor’ certainly lacks the negative connotation – not a fit.

I was surprised to see that my thesaurus (Thesaurus.com) and I have such differing views.

How Our Fear of Sex is Destroying the Planet Veronica Monet, ACS

And you thought global warming was the problem? Well, it is one of many major crises facing us today. You can add to that what seems to be a very human inability to avoid war and don’t for­get the AIDS epidemic. Plus human history is littered with rape and murder. Violence seems almost a genetic predis­position which we can’t control. This year, the United States surpassed all the other nations of the world in the percentage of its citi­zens who are currently incarcerated.

Can you Break Your Penis?

I imagine that this is one of those posts that falls into “more information than I want or need,” especially for men.

Penile fracture occurs most often with vigorous, girl-on-top intercourse. So, take extra care when engaging in this position – vigorously.

The “squeamish factor” is understandably huge. For those of you who want to know more, Scientific American, January 23, 2009, provides all the details:

Seduction, Mystery, and Clever Flirting

Ahhhh… the nectar of the grape. Some clever wineries have given you an innovative way to send your flirty message – not in the bottle, but on the bottle. Wouldn’t it be fun to ask the clerk at the liquor store to show you all the “sexy labels”?

Sounds Like Good Foreplay to Me

I applaud Dr. Crawford’s suggestion – it adds variety, it’s playful, and it offers a masculine-feminine and yin-yang energy experience. And then there’s the aspect of two (naked?) bodies grabbing, slithering, restraining, sweating, groaning, laughing. Sounds like good foreplay to me.

Before you start, make an agreement around safety and boundaries, and maybe add a ’safe word’.

Friends with Benefits

Judy Barton shares her thoughts on The New Age Relationship – Friends with Benefits.

The fashionable and in-demand model of relationships is now the ‘Friend with Benefits’.

What could be more natural than sharing intimacy with a friend? It actually seems quite appropriate to entrust that position to a friend and confidant who knows you better than you, and loves you ‘even though’.

For thousands of singles, this new age relationship design can, and does present as a cure-all for numerous age-old dating woes, while taking friendship to a new dimension.

Sensual Massage – The Art of Loving Touch

Skin is our largest sense organ, composing 15 percent of our body weight and occupying 21 square feet of surface area. And it begs to be touched!

There is an entire body of knowledge that can only be accessed through touch. In a dating relationship, touch is a powerful avenue for communication. The primal circuits of the brain are activated, and the sight and hearing senses shift into a lower gear. Touch demands attention and usually evokes a clear response – from “please don’t ever stop” to “it’s getting late” or anything in between.

Is Tantra for Flakes?

I am very grateful to Lokita Carter for sharing her wisdom with my readers here and on SexCoaching.com.

This is a common dilemma:
My sister and her husband have started taking tantra classes and they are really enjoying them. I want to try tantra with my husband but he isn’t interested. He says tantra is for “flakes.” How can I change his mind? Lannie, from Florida

No. 1 In My List of Products That Shouldn’t Exist

I would like to meet the inventor of this product. I have a few questions to ask him. (And wouldn’t I be surprised if the inventor turns out to be a woman!)

This I know for sure:

A man who is sexually confident does not need to keep a tally.

A man who is sexually conscious knows that quality trumps quantity.

A real man would know that stickers on wooden furniture can cause discoloration.

One Night Stand

Got a nightstand? Got a pair?

According to Mark Ainley, Feng Shui Consultant, if you have one nightstand, it will provide clarity and support for only one individual, hence not offering the invitation or the space for another.
