Intimacy: Enhance Your Relationship Intimacy!

Let’s say that you have been feeling a sense of subtle discontent occurring in your relationship?  If so, good for you for noticing!

Now, what are you going to do about it?

You could ignore it … and hope that it resolves itself.  Of course, few constructive solutions spring from a problem-situation that “resolves itself”!

You could think deeply about what has been going on recently.  You could then try to brainstorm how this sense of dis-ease and discontent relates to recent events.  You could try to think about the situation from your partner’s point of view … and see if you receive inspiration from this.

You could ask yourself if the discontent is springing from you.  If you discover that it is, you can then address the situation directly … and deal with these feelings constructively from within yourself.

If you are unaware of the discontent stemming from within you, you could talk with your partner about it.  When you address your partner, you do not have to KNOW the details about what is going on.  You can simply report your observations to your partner and see whether s/he has some information that could help.

So, you might say something like, “Sweetheart, I’ve been noticing a vague sense of discontent in our interactions.  It does not feel comfortable to me and it’s not a feeling that I’m used to having with you.  Have you felt it, too?  Do you have any idea where it’s coming from?”

Then, you and your partner can brainstorm about what is behind the feeling.  This brainstorming can be powerful in getting to the bottom of what has been happening.  You can, then, begin to outline a plan to get the feelings resolved and your relationship back “on track”!

Sexual Exercise: Key to Mental, Emotional, Physical & Sexual Fitness

Scientific News Today …

Have you thought that exercise is only good for strong muscles, satisfying love-making, a lean body, and a strong heart?  It certainly is — and that’s not all!  In addition to these physical benefits, physical activity has been shown to help with being emotionally and mentally fit.

There is a growing body of research demonstrating that exercise promotes mental health and wellness.  Researchers at Duke University studied people suffering from depression.  They found that 60% of the participants who exercises for 30 minutes three times a week overcame their depression without using antidepressant medication.  This is the same percentage rate as for those who only used medication in their treatment for depression.

Sexuality: Natural Sexuality Aphrodisiacs – Do They Work?

Researchers at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, have done extensive review of dozens of studies investigating aphrodisiac powers. According to the results, reported in Live Science (livescience.com), substances with the most potential were Korean (red) ginseng and saffron.

Ginseng likely works in much the same way as does Viagra. Most probably, it relaxes muscles and improves blood flow to the genital region.

In addition, in animal studies, ginger, garlic, cloves, and nutmeg proved to be at least moderately effective. Aphrodisiacs are substances that increase sexual desire, or libido, and — possibly — enhance sexual pleasure.

Prior to trying exotic substances, a better option is to improve your health. A 2007 report in the American Journal of Medicine disclosed that erectile dysfunction is highly correlated with poor physical health and inactivity. Hence, healthy diet and exercise are advocated. The side effects of exercise and diet include better self-confidence, which just might be the best aphrodisiac around!

Christmas: A Time for Christmas Togetherness

Christmas is the time of year when friends and families can renew their connections to one another.  Sometimes, regretably, this seems to get lost in the commercialism of the holiday.  However, you and your partner do not have to let this be the case!  You can both choose to pay special attention to the aspects of Christmas closeness … that really matter.

Here are some ways to do just that on Christmas Day:

1.   Enjoy breakfast together. Breaking bread has always been a great way to share stories and foster the idea of family. Decide who will host the meal.  Schedule the timing to best accommodate everyone’s schedule.

2.  Read the Christmas story.  Shared traditions can bring friends and family closer.  Remembering the reason why you are celebrating the holiday enhances the experience of the Day. Each person can take turns reading a portion of the story. For a new twist, have a few family members act out the Christmas story as one person narrates it.  Find that budding actor/actress among you!

3.  Hold a video family-friend gathering.

Christmas: Last Minute Gift Ideas for Christmas

Do you get your Christmas shopping done ahead of time?  If so, you are probably sitting back, relaxing, enjoying the sounds of this Season — preparing to spend delightful time with your Partner!

In case this is not you — and you still have some Special People to buy for — here are some last-minute shopping tips to make you and the recipients of your gifts both happy!

1.   Check out our Hypnosis-Workbook Programs to give the Gift of Health to those you love.  Right now — go to http://thelifecoachdr.com/coach/coaching-products/ Here you can make your selection, find out more, and purchase!

2.   Food clubs. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Many of us think of

the fruit-of-the-month club or something like that but this kind of thing has caught on. You can find just about any kind of monthly club that your recipient is interested in: salsa, jellies, desserts, wines, beer and even barbeque sauce.

3.   Gift cards. It seems like such a small presentation, but it is quite a popular gift. Do you know how many people pack the stores the day after Christmas just to return gifted items? A gift card avoids all of that. Have the kids put together some festive wrapping or decorate and envelope for a personal touch.

4.   Charitable gifts. These gifts put others first and help great causes at the same time. Perfect for the person who ALREADY has everything, you can make a donation to various international charities (wildlife foundations, disaster relief, medical missions, peace keeping efforts and more) in the name of your gift recipient. They will receive a letter thanking them for their donation.

5.   Food gifts. Before toys and technology, people gave what they had and that was usually some sort of food item. Sweet breads in decorative loaf pans, cakes, cookies and cupcakes still make great gifts for teachers, grandparents, neighbors and friends. Give the delectable offerings time to cool sufficiently before wrapping them.

6.  Memberships/Subscriptions. Has one of the people on your list been meaning to join a gym? You can gift them a membership for Christmas. When money gets tight, memberships and subscriptions are usually the first to go. Renew a subscription to their favorite magazine or a service like AAA Motor Club.

7.  Gift baskets. Most stores have them on display at Christmas time. You can purchase one that is already made if you see one that fits your recipient’s tastes. For teachers and coworkers, baskets with mugs and coffee or hot chocolate are a safe bet. Or better yet, create your own with a basket and small items that reflect the recipient.

Overall…have FUN!  Dress your packages up, make your own cards. The personal touch makes your gift UNIQUE and says, “You are Special to me!”  Then, relax — and spend that SPECIAL, loving time with your partner!

Sexuality: Sexuality Survey Findings

In a new study, lead researchers from Indiana University’s Center for Sexual Health Promotion report intriguing new findings.  New data has been unveiled in what the researchers say is the largest, most comprehensive national survey of Americans’ sexual behavior since 1994’s “National Health and Social Life Survey”.  These findings come more than 60 years after the Kinsey report, “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male”.

Filling 130 pages of a special issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, the study offers detailed findings on how often Americans have sex, with whom, and how they respond. In all, 5,865 people, ranging in age from 14 to 94, participated in the survey.  A number of researchers functioned as lead author for different facets of the survey.

The researchers said they were struck by the variety of ways in which the subjects engaged in sex — 41 different combinations of sexual acts were tallied.  These encompassed vaginal and anal intercourse, oral sex, and partnered masturbation.

Men are more likely to experience orgasm when vaginal intercourse is involved, while women are more likely to reach orgasm when they engage in variety of acts, including oral sex, said researcher Debra Herbenick, lead author of the section about women’s sex lives.

Relationship: Looking for Help for Your Relationship?

Are you ready to make changes in your intimate relationship?  Have you and your partner struggled to reach sexual satisfaction … and, often, fallen short?

There IS help.  The Sex Coach Dr., Dr. Marlene Shiple, would love to show you how. Dr. Shiple has been working in the area of sex therapy for 30 years — in that time, she has helped hundreds of couples find satisfaction and share pleasure in their relationships. She has coached couples to create deeper, more-bonded partnerships with one another.

Dr. Shiple recognizes that one of the biggest problems — the one that most effectively holds relationships back — is lack of effective communication. Tips for improving communication in your relationship include:

  • Make time to talk. To start, keep it short — maybe, just 30 minutes.
  • Each partner schedules this time and dedicates it for strengthening the relationship.
  • Each partner selects one item to talk about.
  • When the mutually-selected time arrives, come together.
  • Share an extended hug and kiss (this creates connection, closeness, and bonding).
  • Relax together.
  • Talk about item #1 for 15 minutes; then, proceed to item #2. Talk about item #2 for 15 minutes.
  • Make arrangements for a follow-up time to talk before ending this Talk Time.
  • End with another extended kiss and hug.

Relationship Stress-Reduction: It’s in Your Hands!

Stressed Out?  ‘Looking for a simple way to calm down?  Here’s an additional benefit you can derive from your strong relationship!

Yes, you’ve been working with your partner to create a strong, mutually-loving, sexually-satisfying relationship.  Now that the two of you have this together, you can enjoy additional stress-calming benefits from your personal interactions.

The way to do so is through the magic of touch!

University of Virginia’s Psychology Department, neuroscientist James A. Coan, Ph.D., has conducted research into brain activity and emotional experience.  He conducted brain scans of his subjects and found that women under stress displayed increased calmness as a result of holding a man’s hand.  Stress reduction was most dramatic when the woman and man had close emotional ties.

So, if you want to reduce your level of stress … and do so quickly … relief is as close as holding your partner’s hand!
