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.

Sexuality: With Age, Better Health Means Better Sex

TUESDAY, March 9 (HealthDay News) – New research looks at sexuality and sexual activity in a scientific way.  In a deviation from the frequent scientific focus that often centers on illness, this new study looks at health and well-being.  It looks at elements that affect quality of life – having a good sex life being critical to overall quality of life.

According to research conducted by University of Chicago’s Program in Integrative Sexual Medicine, better health equates to better sex lives.  These researchers also found that healthy people were more likely to engage in sex — and good sex at that.  Those in good health were more apt to express an interest in sex.

This new research also found that this association held firm into middle-age and later life as well.  This research was published in the March 10 issue of the British Medical Journal.

The study authors examined two different samples of more than 3,000 adults each – in one, the subjects were aged 25 to 74; in the second, the subjects were aged 57 to 85.  Both groups contained an equal number of men and women. Subjects were interviewed and filled in questionnaires on their marital status, their health (rated on a scale from excellent to poor), the quality of their sex lives and how often they had sex.

The study’s authors created a novel
measure called “sexually active life expectancy.” According to this new measure, men aged 55 could expect another 15 years of sex while women of the same age could expect about 11 more active sexual years.

This research provides even-more evidence of the far-reaching benefits of good health.  An active sexual relationship nourishes intimacy and satisfaction.  Having good sexual interaction — both in frequency and in level of gratification — in turn, can function to deepen a relationship, providing stronger, more enduring partnerships.

In order to have good health in older age, it is important to attend to good health TODAY!  Good health today makes for a stronger, healthier body today, tomorrow and throughout tomorrow’s tomorrows.  Good health is an experience that requires attention each and every day … and the best time to start is NOW! What one thing can you do — today — to implement stronger, better health for the GOOD of your life?  I invite you to do it … and to do it each and every day thereafter.

Sexuality: The Power of Fantasy to Increase Sexual Desire

ScienceDaily — Scientists of the Department of Personality, Evaluation and Psychological Treatment of the University of Granada have released a new study.  Researcher Juan Carlos Sierra Freire studied how some psychological variables such as
* positive attitude towards sexuality
* sexual fantasies
* anxiety
are related to sexual desire in human beings.

The Study

Using the Sexual Desire Inventory, 608 subjects aged 13 to 43 were studied.  Researchers found that 32% of inhibited sexual desire in men was associated with a negative attitude toward sexuality, as well as some sexual fantasies. Eighteen percent of such inhibited sexual desire in women was due to increased anxiety and decreased sexual fantasizing. According to researchers, these figures show that psychological factors, which have a role in sexual response, depend on gender.

The Power of Imagination

The results of this research reveal
an important relation between sexual desire and positive attitude toward sexuality in men. Men responded more positively towards sexual stimuli and thoughts, and they accepted them more easily. The male population has an attitude that, together with sexual fantasies, heightens sexual drive.

In turn, women also share the imagination at play. The more sexual fantasies they have, the more sexual desire they experience. However, “women normally present more anxiety disorders than men” regarding transitory emotional stages such as anxiety, because anxiety strongly affects women’s sexual function.

This study highlights the importance of sexual fantasies in sexuality. In fact, sexual fantasies are used in sex therapy to diminish levels of anxiety of execution or of sexual activity, provided that there are no organic anomalies (lack of hormones, endocrine disorders, etc.).

The Importance of Education

These Spanish researchers point out that education on sexual stimulation and response as well as healthy attitudes towards sexuality is extremely important. In this way, sexual intercourse is more pleasurable and there is less probability of having sexual dysfunctions.
