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: ‘Twas the Night before Christmas …

All of the hustle and bustle of the preceding month is completed.  Tomorrow has not yet come …

So, Christmas Eve can be an evening of relaxation and relaxed fun for you and your partner.  Christmas Eve can be a time for expectation and joy for both of you.

What would the benefits be to you to make it so?

Perhaps, you might plan a simple dinner and a Seasonal movie.  Maybe, you could make a point to include you and your partner’s Christmas favorite.  Is it “A Christmas Story”?  Or, is it “The Santa Clause”?  Or, is it “A Christmas Carol”?

Speaking of that, maybe you would choose to get together with family and some close friends and listen to Christmas carols.  Or, maybe you could plan a group sing-along!

It’s a Special time of year … and, with just a little planning and forethought, you can make it a TREASURE!  What plans can you and your partner create to make this Your BEST Christmas Eve ever?

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.

Happy Thanksgiving: The Art of Giving Thanks!

In the United States, today is Thanksgiving Day! I wish you a VERY Happy Thanksgiving!

Giving Thanks … what does this mean?

Giving Thanks is the act of Gratitude, the act of Appreciation. When you give thanks, you are focusing on the positive aspects of your life. For whatever period of time you choose for the thanks-giving, you are concentrating on the blessings in your life.

In earlier blog posts, we have previously covered in detail both the macro-level of creativity and the micro-level of creativity. In brief, on a macro-level,

the Law of Attraction dictates that you bring to yourself that upon which you focus your thought-energy. In addition, on a micro-level, your subconscious mind functions to create what you are thinking.

So, from both macro- and the micro-directions, when you focus on the blessings in your life, you begin to attract more blessings to yourself. In other words, when you focus on positive aspects in your life, you start to draw more positive to yourself!

Isn’t it time to start? I invite you to JOIN ME in this action of Thanks-giving! And to start it off—I give thanks for YOU … for your eagerness to grow, for your desire to create more that is Positive in your life! I give thanks for your willingness to use your own Powerful Mind—your Mind Power—in such beneficial ways!

Intimacy Therapy: Get Your Nose into the Act!

Are you looking for a quick, simple way to spark up your Relationship Intimacy?  Look no further than your — and your partner’s — sense of smell!

Smells work on the limbic system to release neurotransmitters.  The limbic system of the brain not only controls drives of hunger, thirst and sex, but it also influences more subtle responses of emotion, memory, creativity and intuition.  Within the limbic system resides the regulatory mechanism of your highly sensitive inner life, the core of your being.

The olfactory nerves (nerves in the nose) are directly connected to your brain’s limbic system.  Hence, even subtle aromas cause immediate
