How to Connect with Women Easily- 7 Essential Tips

You’re all too familiar with the struggle of striking up a conversation with a beautiful woman. You stutter and trip over your words as you’re mentally reviewing all the ways she might be judging you.

But it doesn’t have to be like this, even if the mere thought of talking to a girl you’re interested in fills you with dread. Fortunately, there are some simple guidelines you can follow that will make your face-reddening mistakes in this area a thing of the past.

You’re all too familiar with the struggle of striking up a conversation with a beautiful woman. You stutter and trip over your words as you’re mentally reviewing all the ways she might be judging you.

But it doesn’t have to be like this, even if the mere thought of talking to a girl you’re interested in fills you with dread. Fortunately, there are some simple guidelines you can follow that will make your face-reddening mistakes in this area a thing of the past.

1. Remember that She’s a Person

This may sound painfully obvious, but many men think of females as an entirely different species, and it causes them to freeze up when they attempt to speak to one. No matter how attractive the object of your interest is, it pays to remember that she’s a person just like you. Remember that she has her fair share of fears and embarrassing experiences, too. This can help humanize her in your mind and ease some of your anxiety.

2. Internalize Your Self-Worth

If you make a habit of starting conversations with attractive women, you’re going to get rejected sometimes. So, it’s important to maintain an attitude of outcome independence, meaning you don’t let your self-worth depend on someone’s reaction to you. People can sense desperation, and it’s never attractive. Work on your confidence, and you’ll find it much easier to approach women.

3. Avoid Cheesy Lines

A lot of girls put their guard up automatically when a guy approaches because they’re so used to hearing ridiculous (or worse, creepy) pick-up lines. You’ll stand out a lot more in her mind if you offer something different. Walk up to her with the intention of adding value to her day instead of trying to get something from her.

4. Ask Her About Herself

One quick way to bore someone to tears is to drone on and on about yourself and forget to have a dialogue, rather than a monologue. People generally enjoy answering questions about themselves, so remember that next time you see a gorgeous dame you’d like to woo. Avoid the same old tired questions everyone else asks (“So, what do you do?”) and instead, try to reach a bit deeper. “What are you most excited about right now?” is a good starting point.

5. Avoid Yes/No Questions

Questions that can be answered with one word are a conversation killer. Even if someone wants to continue talking with you, yes/no questions make it very difficult. Instead, think up some open-ended questions you can ask the woman you’re speaking with, like “What’s the most memorable thing that happened to you this week?” or “Which country would you most like to visit?”

6. Pay Attention to Personal Space

If you’re talking to an attractive lady, chances are, she’s used to guys invading her personal space. Don’t be one of those guys! Stay mindful of how close you’re standing when you speak to her and try to avoid asking questions that are too personal. Keep a polite, interested, but respectfully distant approach, and she’s much likelier to feel comfortable in your presence.

7. Notice Her Cues

You can’t win them all, so it’s essential that you know when to cut your losses. Pay attention to the signals a girl is sending you when you speak with her. Is she looking around, giving short answers to your questions, or turning down your attempts to meet her later without offering an alternative? These are all signs that she’s not into you. It may hurt, but it’s best to be real with yourself and move on when necessary.

Talking to beautiful women doesn’t have to be a struggle. Like anything else, it will get easier the more you practice. Remember that she’s a person just like anyone else. Keep a confident perspective, and you’ll do just fine.

How to Revive Your Relationship’s Spark

Visit A Sex Store Near You

Couples communication is essential whether you’re at the beginning or you’ve been together long enough to order for the other.

We challenge ever couple to visit a sex shop near you, together!  Walk around and look at the different toys and talk to each other about fantasies and desires.

Often the place you’re at affects what you feel comfortable sharing.  Sex is an essential part of any romantic relationship.  Dr. Ruth, a sex therapist, noted that a bad sex life becomes the biggest thing in a relationship but good sex allows other things to become the biggest part of a relationship.

Here are some of the Romantic Depot Locations Near You New York City!

By William Mwangi

According to the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, there were more than 700,000 divorce cases in 2017, and the number has been rising exponentially. Without a doubt, the high number of separations is a testament to the hurts and wounds that relationships are sustaining both in America and across the globe.

The article will enlighten you on what marriage and relationships therapists are saying about rekindling the fire of your relationship.

1. Communicate Frequently and Effectively

There are only three rules to successful relationships. These are:
– Communication
– Communication
– Communication
Most relationships turn sour because of poor or lack of communication. Effective communication, in contrast, enhances your connectivity with your partner and helps you exude positive emotions that strengthen your relationship’s bonds.

In addition, good communication enables you to address issues in your relationship clearly and in a non-judgmental manner, minimizing possibilities of conflicts and confusions.

2. Listen Actively

Active listening is as crucial as effective communication. M. Scott Peck, a renowned American psychiatrist, contended that it is not possible to fully listen while doing something else. To listen to your partner effectively, focus on what he/she is saying without daydreaming, desist from planning your response ahead of time, and be genuinely interested in what your partner is saying.

3. Ask! Don’t Assume

The “I thought…” has crippled many relationships, both new and long-term.

When in doubt of something, have the courage to ask for clarification instead of relying on assumptions. Sometimes (most times) your assumptions will be inaccurate, causing you to hurt the feelings/perceptions of your partner.

Avoid assumptions as much as possible because they impair understanding, dent communication, and ignite unreasonable conflicts in your relationship.

4. Redo What Made You Fall in Love in the First Place

The activities that you stopped doing could be the culprits for your depressing love life. To rekindle your relationship’s fire, make a list of the crazy things you used to do together after falling in love.

These things could be going out on Friday nights, preparing exquisite meals together, or playing video games on your laptop. Besides reviving your relationship’s spark and excitement, these activities make you fall in love again and again.

5. Compliment Your Partner but Don’t Overdo it

What gasoline is to vehicles is what compliments are to relationships. Compliments motivate your partner, foster a solid trust, and spice up your romance life. Dare to throw a genuine compliment to your partner when she buys a beautiful dress, when he gets a good hair cut, or when he perfectly matches his fashionable outfit.

6. Put Your Phone Down

Recent studies conducted on human interactions have unveiled that technology, especially the use of mobile phones, has drastically led to an increase in separation and divorce cases. Putting your phone down or turning it off eliminates the element of distraction, allowing you to engage in a deep and meaningful conversation with your partner. In effect, you will narrow your emotional distance and enjoy an enriching relationship.

Do you want to start enjoying your relationship with a whole new level of desire? Communicate effectively, listen attentively, avoid assumptions, start doing the things you did after falling in love, frequently compliment your partner, and minimize interactions with your phone.

Spice Up Sex Life

How to spice up your sex life

How to spice up your sex life before you get to the bedroom

Every aspect of your relationship is as unique as the two individuals involved. Your communication, likes, dislikes, relatives and sex are completely unique to the two of you. This is a very important consideration when it comes to the point where you want to spice up your sex life. To rekindle the fire in your bedroom therefore requires an understanding of each others personality, an honest assessment of the relationship you have and your current circumstances. Failing to address these three core aspects will only result in short term changes in the sex department regardless of how much kink you bring into the bedroom. 

It has been said that the mind is the most powerful sex organ. Those who appreciate this fact have achieved the highest levels of sexual satisfaction. You therefore need to start with your mind when looking to spice up your sex life. Once that is covered, you are well on your way to what others consider a fairy tale bedroom story. Once you are in the right frame of mind there are a number of things you can do to turn the little sparks that have been in your bedroom into a raging sexual fire.

1. Begin with yourself

While most of the tips on how to spice up your sex life tell you what you can do for your partner, these can only succeed after you have taken care of you. For you to successfully spice things up, you need to focus on what makes you feel sexy. This calls for you to have a sexy state of mind, a sexy state of dress or undress, a sexy environment and a sexy anything else you want. You are fifty percent of the sexual relationship you are working on and that means you are half the solution that is needed to make a difference.  

2. Be assertive

You need to occasionally take charge of things in the sex department. It not only communicates the fact that you are very involved in what is going on, but it also serves as an educative session on things you enjoy doing and being done to you. This is not only in regards to the sexual activities themselves but also has to do with the various other aspects. Ask your partner to dress up in a way that you find sexually attractive, choose where and when to have sex and include the things that are fun and kinky for you. Taking control of your sexual experiences will often result in greater satisfaction for you which in turn makes you more willing to give your partner a similar level of satisfaction.

3. Break the rules and the routine

Rules and routine are the worst excitement killers. If you know what will happen before it starts, there is no way you can get excited about it. Throwing in sexy surprises is a sure way of firing up your sex life. There is always a thrill in doing something that you would not do under normal circumstances. Depending on how far the two of you are willing to go, a few broken rules will go a long way towards making things a lot more interesting for you and your partner. You do not have to go all the way but a few intimate moments can be a great build up towards an awesome sexual encounter. The more creative you can get with your surprises, the better things are going to be.

4. Make sex a priority

With a busy personal, professional and family life, sex can easily become something you do when there is time and energy left after everything else has been done. Prioritizing sex is one of the most important things when you are working to spice up your sex life. It means making time for sex, actively thinking of ways to make it better and ensuring that you are energetic and enthusiastic when going into it. 

5. Work on your relationship

While sex is a big part of your relationship, it is not everything in your relationship. Just as problems with sex affect your relationship, problems in your relationship are bound to affect your sex. If you are constantly working to improve your relationship you will in many ways be working on improving your sex life.

Having covered these fundamental areas, you can then go into the more instant solutions such as shopping for sexy clothing, experimenting with toys and role playing, acting out fantasies and other such things. Combining both the long term and instant solutions is the best way to spice up your sex life.

Over 40 Secrets Of Sexual Potency

How Men Over 40 Can Retain Sexual Potency 

November 16, 2019

How Men Over 40 Can Retain Sexual Potency 

Many men in their teens and 20s tend to think they’ll always be sexually vigorous, but after 40 the penis gradually starts to show the first signs of aging. Some changes — such as loss of penile sensitivity, decrease in size and longer refractory periods — are, for the most part, irreversible. But that doesn’t mean men over 40 are powerless when it comes to retaining their sexual potency and vitality. This article looks at how drinking less alcohol, doing aerobic exercise, eating smarter and keeping an eye on testosterone levels can help maintain a vigorous sex life after 40.

Drink Less Alcohol 

Consuming too much alcohol has a negative effect on the body. It can damage important organs such as the liver and the kidneys, cause several types of cancer, and lead to weight gain. It can also have an adverse effect on the penis, and therefore on sexual enjoyment.

While it is true that in young men moderate alcohol consumption removes inhibitions, temporarily increases libido and delays orgasm (a blessing for those who suffer from premature ejaculation), it can make sex impossible for men over 40. Because erections and orgasms become increasingly unreliable as men age, they need all the help they can get to keep their sensations sharp.

More worrying than temporary erectile dysfunction is the fact that long-term alcohol abuse has at least four damaging effects on the penis. First, alcohol begins to interfere with the nervous system pathways between the brain and the penis; second, it damages the nerves in the penis; third, it has an effect on testosterone levels which are crucial for libido; and fourth, it can damage sperm-producing cells which can cause the testicles to shrink.

Do Aerobic Exercise 

A laboratory experiment involving young and old rats had a clear outcome: rats that were ‘exercised’ more frequently had increased penile neurotransmitters, and therefore improved erections, compared to the rats that were more sedentary.

There’s little reason to believe exercise has a different effect on the human penis. In fact, five studies over a 40-year period and involving 385 men showed aerobic exercise had a ‘significant effect’ on erectile function. The message is clear: if you want your erections to last longer as you age, get on a treadmill as soon as possible.

Eat Smarter 

If you want to stay in shape after 40, you’ll have to do more than you did to lose weight in your 20s and 30s. As you age, your metabolism slows so shedding weight requires far more effort. Diet is important because eating fatty, processed food leads to blood flow problems (in a process known as atherosclerosis — the hardening of the arteries) which, apart from causing heart attacks, mean the penis won’t get unrestricted blood flow in order to keep your erections strong.

Vascular disease is also blamed for the fact that erections become less potent as men age. Between the ages of 30 and 50, many men will notice a slight decline in the angle of their erections (this decline usually accelerates after 50). Research shows that at 30, a man can expect his erection to be 20 degrees above horizontal; by the time he’s 40 that elevation is reduced to only one degree.

In order to stave off vascular disease, many experts recommend a Mediterranean diet incorporating fish, nuts, olive oil and an array of fruits and vegetables. This diet also includes red wine, although only in moderation. Also avoid excessive salt intake, keep an eye your blood pressure, and if you’re a smoker, give up the habit.

Several types of foods have been linked to improved desire. One is asparagus, packed with folate which helps increase the production of desire-boosting histamine in both men and women. Another sex-friendly food is the avocado which contains minerals, monounsaturated fats and Vitamin B6, a known libido-enhancer.

Then there’s the banana, high in the bromelain enzyme which plays a role in regulating sexual hormones. Finally there’s garlic; while this member of the onion family may not provide you with the sweetest breath, it nonetheless contains allicin, a compound that thins the blood and is therefore helpful for blood flow to the penis.?

Watch Your Testosterone Levels 

After a man hits his sexual peak at 30, his testosterone levels start to fall by between 1 and 1.5% a year. This has an important effect on his desire because testosterone is the male sex hormone that controls the development of sexual traits. The results of this cumulative drop may become particularly noticeable after 40.

Falling testosterone takes libido down with it, although the effect varies from man to man. Fortunately, there are ways to counteract the fall in testosterone: get at least seven or eight hours’ sleep per night, maintain muscle mass by weightlifting and eat protein-rich foods such as fish and other white meat.

The Top Tips to Remember When

By Romantic Depot

We’re all aware of the various benefits a healthy sex life can bring to us. From improved mental and physical health to strengthing our relationships with our partners, it can’t be overstated how important being sexually active is for us as adult human beings.

One of the best ways to practice a healthy sexual lifestyle, either alone or with a partner, is to introduce sex toys into the equation. But like every other sexual activity, without taking sexual hygiene into consideration, you can subject yourself to some serious health risks.

Directions: remove batteries before cleaning battery operated toys. Spray the cleaner over the entire surface area, then wipe with a damp cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry. This Toy Cleaner is a MUST HAVE for cleaning your toy properly!

We highly recommend buying it to go along with your toy purchase!

That’s why cleaning sex toys properly is so important.

But how exactly do you clean your sex toys in a safe way? Do you need to invest in various sex toy cleaners? And what are the most important tips to keep in mind during the process so both you and your partner can stay happy and healthy?

If you’re asking yourself these kinds of questions, wonder no longer, because we’re here to help! In this article, we’ll give you a basic guideline that you can use to make sure you’re keeping your sex toys clean in a safe and efficient way.

Now then, let’s get started!

Shop with Cleanliness in Mind

When it comes to being hygienic with your sex toys, the process actually starts a lot earlier than you may think. In fact, when you’re shopping for a new sex toy, it’s a good idea to keep cleanliness in mind before making a purchase.

Of course, purchasing items that are easy to clean shouldn’t be your main priority, but it should be something that you seriously consider. The good news? Exciting toys that are made from materials that don’t have any pores, and are therefore the easiest to clean, are easy to find.

Anything made from hard plastic, silicone, elastomer, metal, and glass are all safe bets. So if you find something you like, and it’s made from those materials, you can rest easy knowing that it’s going to be easy to clean.

If you already have a favorite toy that has pores, like something made of jelly, consider covering it with a condom before using it. You’ll be keeping the toy cleaner by doing so, as well as protecting yourself and your partner, which can help prevent any health issues.

Clean Your Toys Before You Store Them

It might sound obvious, but it’s important to note that, in order to be as clean as possible, you should clean all of your toys right after use. By doing this, there isn’t any time for bodily fluids to harden or dry on your toys, and thus, making them harder to get clean.

Obviously stopping to clean a toy can really ruin the mood, so at worst, rinse your toy with clean water a few minutes after use. This will make it much easier to clean the toy when the time comes, and again, it can go a long way in keeping you and your partner healthy.

Regardless of when you clean your toy, it’s important that you do so before storing it away between uses. And it goes without saying, but using a toy that hasn’t been cleaned first isn’t a good idea, and can make both you and your partner sick.

A pro tip? Even if your toy is clean, a quick rinse to remove any dust before applying your favorite lube and using it never hurt anyone.

Avoid Smelly Soaps and Sprays

It’s quite common for both men and women to want to smell good for their partners. And if you’re going to as far as to clean your bed sheets, and light your favorite scented candle, you might as well make your toys smell good, too, right?

While it may be tempting to spray your toys with your favorite body spray or clean them with scented soaps, it’s actually a bad idea.  Avoid doing this completely, as the chemicals found in smelly soaps and sprays can lead to irritation and even infection.

And both of those things can be a nightmare scenario for both you and your partner to deal with, to say the least.

A good rule of thumb is to stick with anti-bacterial soaps, hot water, and a clean washrag or towel. Don’t try to get too fancy, just be practical and efficient, and you should be good to go.

Avoid the Dishwasher Completely

Did you know that you can wash hats, and other random items, in the dishwasher without damaging them? There are a wide variety of things that aren’t related to food that are dishwasher safe. And cleaning them that way can save a ton of time and energy, which is always a good thing.

With that in mind, there are quite a few sex toys that can also be washed in the dishwasher without being damaged.  And even though this may be true, it’s best to avoid the dishwasher completely, as a lot more can go wrong than right.

The extreme temperatures can melt or affect the shape of your favorite toys. Also, electronic toys can be completely ruined in the dishwasher, which of course, isn’t what you want to happen to something that you paid for.

Again, it can’t be overstated how far you can go with just a bit of hot water and some anti-bacterial soap. And oftentimes, those soaps made for dishwashers have some pretty powerful chemicals in them, which again, can lead to irritation and infection.

So keep it simple and safe and use hot water, anti-bacterial soap, and a sink.

Don’t Be Afraid to Use Boiling Water

The biggest reason that people want to use a dishwasher to clean their toys, besides convenience, is the hot water and the steam. If you’re looking to get this effect, and want to do so in a safer way, try using boiling water.

Before using boiling water to clean your sex toy, you want to make sure that it’s made of a material that is safe to do so with. Toys made from safe materials like stainless steel, silicone, pyrex, in particular, are more than okay to use boiling water on.

It’s worth noting too that, if your toy is motorized, completely submerging them underwater is not a good idea. You can do serious damage to your toys, so avoid mixing too much water with electronic toys to be safe.

Anti-bacterial soap, a little bit of water, and a clean rag or towel is the best way to clean most toys, especially those that you don’t want to get wet fully.

Clean Leather Items Properly

If you have any leather items or toys, you may feel the need to take extra precautions with them, as leather can be a delicate material that needs to be handled correctly. This is 100% true, which is why if you have any leather items, you shouldn’t try to do too much to clean them after use.

Once again, keeping it simple and sticking with hot water, anti-bacterial soap, and a clean rag is without a doubt the best way to go to get the job done.

What about leather cleaners? Are they a good idea?

To keep it short, not really, no. Leather cleaners, like smelly soaps and sprays, contain a lot of chemicals that can cause irritation and infection the next time you use your toy. So with that in mind, it’s a good idea to avoid those completely when cleaning your sex toys.

A Guideline to Cleaning Sex Toys

Well, there you have it! Those are a few basics tips and tricks to keep in mind when cleaning sex toys. So, as long as you keep these ideas in mind, you should remain safe, happy and healthy.

Remember, above all else, don’t avoid cleaning your sex toys completely. Never store away a toy that hasn’t been cleaned, and never use a previously used toy without cleaning it first.

When it comes time to clean your toys, keep it simple and use hot water, anti-bacterial soap, and a clean washrag or towel. You don’t need any fancy chemicals or soaps to get the job done.

If you can, try to buy toys for you and your partner that are the easiest to clean. That way, when it comes time to clean your toys, you’ve got a much easier task on your hands.

Sex Toy Shopping Tips

Love And Sex Toys: Tips For Shopping

Whether your relationship is starting to feel stagnant or you just want something to spice up an evening, sex toys can add a playful level of fun to your life. There are now many online stores as well as retail options available, so shopping for these romantic playthings can be done in person or from the comfort of your home. The popularity of these establishments indicates a growing demand for variety and quality in adult entertainment.

Anal Sex Toy Cock Ring

Here are a few tips to remember when delving into the world of sex toys.

1. They’re toys, have fun. Many vibrators and other implements come in an array of bright colors and shapes which might look strangely alien at first. The more you read and observe, the more you’ll start to understand the form and function. If you are fortunate enough to have an adult store near you that carries these items, stop in and touch. Don’t be shy. Pick them up and hold them to observe the weight and feel. If your establishment is really on the ball and has included batteries, turn on vibrators and check the sound. Take a friend or your lover with you and go ahead and laugh.

2.  Start out easy. If this is a new experience, don’t go online and order the Screaming Banshee Deep Penetrating Orgasm Inducer. There are plenty of modest sex toys that won’t leave you scratching your head trying to figure out how to use them or limping in pain the next day. Go with your comfort level and make sure your partner is on board with you.

3.  Don’t buy one that’s bigger than your man. After you start out easy, you might be ready to move to the next level. Sure, it’s nice to have that extra large dildo around for those times you want an all-the-way full experience, but keep this one hidden. Your man might like the thought of you pleasuring yourself, but chances are he wants to be the biggest gun in your cabinet. There are plenty of other toys you can share together.

4.  Keep your goodies safe, clean and hidden. Any item that penetrates a body orifice should be clean, so make sure to wash your toys thoroughly after use. Check them for cracks, rips or tears every time. Have a “toy box” just for these items, and make sure they are well hidden from any prying eyes in your household.

5. Read reviews, ask questions. Most online toy sites have a product review section. Wander through this and if you have a question send an email. Many of these toys are pricey, so make sure you get what you want.

Using sex toys can take a relationship to a more intimate, stimulating level. Couples of all ages are exploring this territory and finding a new way to relate to their partners. Be bold, be innovative, have fun.

When you think of “kinky”, often the first thing that pops into your head is the image of whips and chains, pain and pleasure . . . and some guy with a cheesy 70s pornstar mustache.  But erotic bondage and discipline is both far more common and far less extreme than most people think.  Millions of couples have incorporated light bondage and fantasy discipline into their every-day sex lives without going to extremes.  Once the practice is understood for what it is – and what it isn’t – then incorporating this kind of fantasy sex into your life is a great way to inject some passion and intensity into your relationship.

Restraints

Erotic bondage is, quite simply, the use of restraints on one partner during sex to suggest a loss of control that many find exciting.  Control games such as tying up or blindfolding your partner can be highly stimulating – some lovers who have a hard time reaching orgasm because of control issues find it far easier to do so once they have abandoned themselves to a light bondage scenario.  The restraints, as nominal as they might be, give them permission to relax and “let go” for their lover.  Of course there are degrees of bondage play, from a simple binding of hands with a silk tie or pantyhose, through the use of light handcuffsor Velcro bindings, all the way up to rather extreme full-body suits that provide a sense of immobility that only a seasoned bondage enthusiast is usually comfortable with.

Hand in hand with erotic bondage is BDSM – “Bondage & Discipline/Sado-Masochism” – the “whips” part of “whips and chains”.  While this aspect might be as daunting to some as bondage is to others, the safe and controlled fantasy power-plays between lovers can inspire great depths of passion, sexual exploration, and mind-numbing orgasms when just the right balance of pain and pleasure is achieved.  

Pain And Pleasure

While some are leery of mixing pain with pleasure, the two are naturally combined.  The same nerve cells on our skin that register a gentle caress become excited and super-sensitive when a little pain is provided.  The purpose of BDSM play is not to injure the recipient of the playful spanking, of course, or even cause a lot of pain – merely to excite and sensitize the flesh to achieve greater responsiveness and orgasm.  

Most beginners in BDSM confine themselves to a light spanking, with hand, small whip or paddle, often followed with tiny caresses that can inspire tremendous erotic sensation.  Of course many of us have fantasies of control that include pain and spanking – naughty schoolgirl/boy, “French Maid”, boss/secretary, master/slave girl and other erotic role-playing games incorporating some degree of BDSM are highly popular as our culture grows more sexually sophisticated.  Accessories to compliment these fantasies are widely available, from paddles, whips, and other “spanking implements” to costumes appropriate to any fantasy.  

Sex Play Rules

But even the novice BDSM enthusiast needs to remember a few key rules to restraints and sex play.  First there is the “safe word” – a mutually-agreed-upon word unlikely to come up in the scene (“umbrella” or “pickle” are popular) which, when spoken by either party, indicates that someone is feeling uncomfortable with the scenario and wants to stop.  Agreeing to a safe word is vital to fostering the sense of trust necessary to have a truly enjoyable BDSM experience.

Another mistake some novices make in their enthusiasm is introducing too many BDSM elements into their sex lives too quickly.  Not only can a mountain of whips and handcuffs be intimidating to a partner new to the practice, but trying to incorporate too much too soon can put a strain on the relationship and lead to a disappointing experience.  Try introducing one or two elements at a time, and add to them as you and your partner decide which things you found enjoyable.  Usually starting with a simple blindfold and an easily-escapable bondage rig – tying your mate’s hands loosely to the bedposts with a couple of old ties or Velcro restraints, for example – is enough of a start to get you and your partner comfortable with the idea.  After that, explore your fantasies with expansions of your bondage gear gradually.

An important consideration is how tightly you bind your partner (or wish to be bound yourself.)  Many novice BDSM enthusiasts make the mistake of thinking that the best way to begin is by tightly immobilizing their partner to the point where escape on their own is difficult or impossible.  While it’s true that a loss of control is implicit in the BDSM experience, it’s also important to remember that a novice is going to be nervous about that loss of control and might panic when faced with true immobility.  Usually the simple illusion of immobility is quite enough to convince someone to abandon their sense of control – once they are satisfied that they can escape at will if they get uncomfortable.  Lightly-restricting bondage gear with quick-release fasteners is usually perfectly adequate for a beginner’s BDSM experience.

Couples Sex Advice: Eight Tips That Will Help You to Overcome a Dry Spell in Your Marriage

By Dr. E. C. Gordon

The claim that a married sex life is necessarily repetitive or stale is an inaccurate cliché. If you and your spouse are finding physical intimacy to be unsatisfying in its nature or frequency, you do not simply need to accept that this is how things will continue to be. Read on to discover the eight most effective and straightforward things that you can do in order to overcome a sexual dry spell in your marriage, and learn how to make married sex hot, fun and passionate once again.

1) Don’t let your sex life cause depression or anxiety:

It is vital to remember that almost all couples experience periods of diminished sexual desire or satisfaction. Even people who are deeply in love and sexually open-minded can still find their sex lives destroyed by stress, family responsibilities or health problems. It is also common to have a temporarily reduced libido and be entirely unsure of the cause, even when you are still extremely attracted to your partner. Problems in the bedroom do not have to indicate that the marriage is destined to fail, and they are not indications that a good sex life is a thing of the past. In addition, it is important that you not be fooled by popular claims about how much sex is healthy, or how much sex a married couple ‘needs’ to have. Such claims only cause doubt and insecurity, and they are deeply misleading because what is healthy or necessary varies greatly from one relationship to another. With these thoughts in mind, it will be easier for you to avoid panicking or becoming extremely distraught in response to a dry spell in your marriage. If you can stay calm and keep thinking in a productive way, it will be a lot easier to improve your sex life with your spouse. A relaxed attitude to intimacy more easily leads to fun, uninhibited experimentation, while believing that your physical relationship is doomed usually ends up contaminating your everyday interactions as well.

2) Encourage open and honest communication about sex:

Although sex is becoming increasingly less taboo as a topic of conversation, some married couples still feel too uncomfortable and apprehensive to instigate a sober and direct conversation about their sex lives. However, studies repeatedly show that people who frequently discuss their sexual needs and desires tend to be much more likely to describe their sex lives as satisfying and enjoyable. If you are going to move past a dry spell in your marriage, it is important to be able to give each other suggestions regarding what would make physical intimacy more enjoyable for you. Is there a new way you would like to be touched? Do you want to learn what frequency of sex would be ideal for your spouse? These sorts of questions can help to restructure your sex life in a way that pleases you both, and you will also find that discussing what turns you on can be instrumental in spiking levels of desire. It is exciting to hear about what your partner likes most about you and your sexual prowess, and it can also be thrilling to confess to some fantasies that you have hitherto kept secret.

3) Adopt an open-minded approach to trying new things in your sex life:

After years of having sex, married couples often fall into a minimally enjoyable and practical routine when it comes to making love. While this is better than having no sex life at all, it can become a dull or empty experience for one or both parties. In spite of this, you may be hesitant and uncomfortable at the thought of changing your routine. You may worry about your partner laughing at your new ideas, or fear that you will develop stage fright in the face of attempting a new technique in bed. One way to get around this intimidating roadblock is to agree to write a list of things that you want to think about trying. Once you and your spouse have worked out what should be on such a list, you can sit down and talk about what seems most appealing (and remember that you are not obligated to actually show your partner the list). If even this approach sounds too daunting, try browsing the internet to find checklists of sexual ideas. This is an excellent way to discover which things you want to try out or discount, and some of the items on this checklist may spark result in entirely new ideas of your own. In addition, most couples can find a lot of humor in this activity, as few are drawn to the most extreme options.

4) Try to make bedtime more conducive to sexual intimacy:

First, it is important that you be able to feel attracted to your spouse regardless of whether they are wearing a sexy outfit or an old t-shirt. However, you are unlikely to consistently burn with lust if you see your partner in an ill-fitting pajama set every time you go to bed. If one or both of you stop putting in effort when it comes to dressing for bed, this can unfortunately have an adverse influence on the level of sexual desire and chemistry that exists between you. Bear in mind that neither of you need to squeeze into fetish wear in order to make going to bed more conducive to sex; simply going to bed in your underwear (or nothing at all) can set your spouse’s pulse racing.

5) Remember that there are important sexual benefits that come with marriage:

While you might fall into the trap of thinking that life would be more fun if you had multiple new partners on a regular basis or were just starting to have sex with a new love, don’t forget that married couples get to enjoy many benefits that are lacked in such circumstances. For one thing, you know that if something goes wrong in the bedroom then this one bad performance won’t shake your partner’s commitment or make them reconsider being with you. In addition, when you are with someone who knows you well and is committed to loving you, there is more freedom to be honest about certain sexual fantasies and activities that you would like to explore. Finally, knowing one another’s bodies as well as you do means that when making love goes well it can be profoundly satisfying in a way that a one night stand or a sex session with a new person seldom turns out to be.

6) Realize that sexual problems can infect other areas of your marriage:

If you are struggling to find the courage to talk to your spouse about your sex life concerns, one thing that might motivate you is the knowledge that a bad sex life seldom remains insolated. It almost always causes further interpersonal problems. In contrast, better physical intimacy usually improves your emotional connection with your partner, so it is well worth having a frank discussion about your sex life. As your sex life gets better, so will everyday aspects of your marriage, and in response to these interpersonal improvements the sex is likely to improve even more.

7) Do not assume that you already know everything about your partner’s body:

When you have been married for years or decades, it is all too easy to believe that you must have already learned everything that there is to know about your spouse’s erogenous zones and sexual responses. In truth, there is always more to learn, and abandoning the mistaken assumption that you know it all can lead to newly heightened sexual creativity. Each person is different when it comes to which areas feel best when stimulated, so try exploring new parts of your partner’s body during foreplay (either with your hands or your mouth). Some people love to be softly kissed on the back, while others experience shivers of pleasure when the sensitive skin of the scalp is stroked. Giving or receiving a full-body massage is also an enjoyable and relaxing way to learn about surprisingly pleasurable or arousing areas of the body. Constantly trying to find new sensitive spots and experimenting with new ways of stimulating the confirmed erogenous zones helps to stop sex from being a predictable, businesslike affair.

8) Work to make your bedroom a place associated with sexual intimacy:

It is important to be able to see your bedroom as place in which you can enjoy freedom and relaxation away from your daily obligations. Often, this will mean making sure that it is free from children and pets, especially since it seems that these family members are particularly prone to bursting in at the exact moment that you and your spouse are becoming amorous. While any children you have should feel free to knock on your door for attention if they need help or assistance, your sex life will improve if your children do not enter the room without permission.

If you keep the above tips in mind, then with a little time and effort you should be able to overcome a dry spell in your marriage. However, it is important to note that all is not lost if you and your spouse still find that you are struggling. Some couples counselors specialize in sexual therapy, and they may be able to get to the heart of why your sex life remains so unsatisfying.

Thirteen Tips to Help You Prolong Sex and Be a Better Lover

Thirteen Tips to Help You Prolong Sex and Be a Better Lover

By Dr. E. C. Gordon

Thirteen Tips to Help You Prolong Sex and Be a Better Lover

When men are asked how their sex lives could be improved, most admit that they feel they would be better lovers if they had a higher degree of sexual stamina. However, most also believe that they have no real hope of obtaining substantially longer-lasting erections without the use of medication. Thankfully, this is not the case. By incorporating the following thirteen tips into your sex life, you can achieve stronger and more effective erections without being prescribed drugs.

1) Vary your diet as much as possible:
Several interesting studies on male sexual performance have revealed that men with a limited diet have less healthy circulatory systems. If your circulatory system is not functioning to the best of its ability, it is more likely that you will have problems achieving and maintaining an erection (as the blood flow to your penis will be poor). To boost your circulation, make sure that you are getting enough energy from your meals. Eat plenty of protein, as well as carbohydrate-rich food such as brown bread, pasta and rice.

2) Adopt positions that increase blood flow:
When your partner is on top, it is harder for your body to make sure that your penis receives a consistent and adequate amount of blood. This leaves you with a less reliable erection that is more likely to fizzle out before you and your partner are fully satisfied. If you want to prolong sex, make love in positions that allow you to be on top of your partner. In missionary and rear entry positions, the blood flow to your erection will be stronger and more consistent. Of course, you may find it repetitive or dull to have only two sexual positions in your repertoire, so try doing some online research in order to discover more positions that will allow you to be on top and thereby maximize blood flow.

3) Reduce the level of fat in your diet:
Testosterone is the most important male hormone when it comes to sexual desire and achieving strong erections. However, fatty foods reduce the level of testosterone in your body, making it more difficult for you to make sex last as long as you would like it to. If you cut down on the amount of fat that you consume, it is not just your penis that will thank you; your heart and waistline will benefit as well.

4) Reduce your sexual sensitivity:
For some men, the problem encountered when trying to prolong sex is not erection loss but rather an undesirably quick ejaculation. If this is an issue for you, one thing that might help a great deal is a reduction in the level of stimulation during intercourse. Sometimes, learning how to temporarily shift your attention away from sex can work wonders by allowing you to calm down and delay your orgasm. There are also some condoms specifically designed to reduce sensitive in order to boost sexual stamina, and you might want to try some of these if psychological efforts yield no results.

5) Look into the side effects of any drugs you are taking:
Unfortunately, some of the most important and effective medications can lead to erection problems and poor sexual stamina. Anti-depressants are some of the main culprits, with a decreased sex drive and less reliable erections being two of the most common side effects reported by patients. Many drugs that treat high blood pressure are also linked to a reduction in sexual stamina, as are certain muscle relaxants. Take a look at your medications and do some thorough research into their side effects. If you find a strong connection between one of your drugs and the problems that you are having in your sex life, approach your doctor so that you can discuss finding a similarly effective medication that might not influence your erections. However, it is vital that you not stop taking any prescribed medications unless expressly instructed to do so.

6) Cut down on alcohol consumption:
Alcohol reduces your responsiveness to physical stimulation, and this includes sexual stimulation. This means that even the skilled touch of your partner may not be able to turn on you on enough to allow you to develop and maintain an erection. If you keep your drinking in check (especially when you know you are going to be having sex later that day), you stand a much better chance of prolonging sex and satisfying your partner.

7) Combat sexual anxiety:
Many men experience problems with performance anxiety, as it is easy to feel as though you are under a great amount of pressure to be a good lover. Losing an erection can be embarrassing in a lot of contexts, and fear of this happening to you can unfortunately end up being at the forefront of your mind when you are just about to have sex. Of course, focusing on feelings of anxiety and low self-confidence actually decrease your chances of having a long and satisfying sexual experience, as erections are quick to disappear when negative emotions are felt. If this sort of performance anxiety is one of the things that are making you feel as though you are not as good a lover as you could be, one of the main ways to help yourself is to have a frank and honest conversation with your partner. You may think that you are the only one who experiences self-doubt in relation to sex, but your partner will most likely share some of her own insecurities and help you to realize that some of your worst fears about negative judgment are actually unfounded. This will make it easier for you to relax during sex in the future, and if you are genuinely having fun without fear then you will be much more likely to be able to prolong sex. If getting rid of your problematic anxiety proves to be more complicated, you might consider seeing a relationship counselor who specializes in helping couples get over psychological issues connected to sex.

8) Quit smoking:
In addition to being connected to a whole host of potentially fatal diseases, smoking cigarettes is linked to the development of poor circulation. Without good circulation, you have little hope of regularly attaining firm and long-lasting erections.

9) Reduce the frequency of masturbation:
If you want to be able to maintain a strong and long-lasting erection, try to make sure that you don’t masturbate in the twelve hour period before having sex. Masturbation uses up some of the blood flow that you need in order to avoid losing an erection during intercourse. In addition, it is worth noting that you might be having problems with sexual performance because frequent masturbation is ‘teaching’ your body to respond exclusively to your own very specific touch. If you reduce the frequency of masturbation and try to add variety to your techniques, you will find that your body will start to learn to respond to all sorts of different types and speeds of sexual stimulation. This will make it easier to maintain a strong erection when your partner is pleasuring you or when you are making love.

10) Keep your body fit:
If you regularly exercise, you will have a stronger cardiovascular system that is more readily able to supply your erections with the necessary blood flow during sex.

11) Pace yourself in the bedroom:
It is easy to get carried away with passion and enthusiasm when you are about to have sex with an attractive partner. However, if you use up all of your energy in the first five minutes of foreplay or sex, the resulting tiredness increases your risk of losing your erection before the lovemaking is over.

12) Buy a penis ring:
Penis rings are affordable little rubber rings that sit at the base of the penis during sex. They trap blood in your penis, helping you to prolong sex by aiding you in maintaining a firm erection. They do not work for everyone, but given that they cost so little then you may be want to invest in one to see whether they might offer a simple solution to your problems.

13) Consider buying zinc supplements:
Zinc encourages your body to produce plenty of testosterone and improves sperm count (as well as sperm quality). If you want to prolong sex by achieving longer-lasting erections, it may be worth your while to try taking zinc for a while in order to see whether there is any noticeable difference.

Although these diet and lifestyle modifications should lead to obvious and sustained improvements in your sex life, you should not expect miracles! It takes time and effort to deal with sexual anxiety, improve your diet, or learn how to adopt new sexual positions that boost blood flow. However, if after substantial time and effort you do not experience an increased ability to prolong sex, you should discuss your concerns with your doctor. Sometimes, problems achieving and maintaining erections are related to underlying health problems, and your doctor will be able to launch the appropriate investigations that may allow you to find a straightforward solution.
