Your Body When You Stop Sex

March 24, 2017/0 Comments/in Relationship, Sex /by Bradley Field

There is hardly anything that contributes to a better mood or offers more fun than one of the most beautiful pastimes in the world. But the importance of a healthy and regular sex life really is often underestimated. Here are eight good reasons why you should not neglect your sex life. Because this is what happens to your body when you stop having sex:

Why a healthy sex life not only ensures a good mood

1. You get sick more often

If you don’t have sex for a long time, your immune system becomes significantly weaker. Germs then have an easier job of spreading in your body and you can catch a cold or get the flu more easily. So, just by having more sex, you can help keep your herbal remedy teas in the closet!

2. Your stress levels increase

Sex is a great way to reduce your stress levels. Regular sex reduces the amount of stress hormones and makes you feel more relaxed in everyday life. Without this important balance, you could become a ticking time bomb!

3. It’s harder for you to get aroused

It’s hard to believe, but true: If you don’t regularly “practice,” it’s difficult for a lot of people to become aroused. Men can experience problems having erections and it can be harder for women to have an orgasm. So, you have to stay on top of things to make sure the “switch” always remains on.

4. Your dreams change

Some people suddenly notice that they have strange dreams when their sex life is suffering. It can mean that you unexpectedly start dreaming about sex or have orgasms in your sleep.

5. Over time you lose your desire to have sex

If you’re having a prolonged dry spell in the sexual sense, the production of sex hormones reduces. You feel less like having sex if you have been abstinent for a while. In addition, your libido will eventually feel different. And this is all due to the fact that your sex hormones are slowly vanishing.

6. You’ll feel more distance between your partner and yourself

When a couple in a relationship only rarely sleep together, their interpersonal distance becomes greater. You may start to have feelings of uncertainty related to your partner and other people will seem more attractive to you.

7. It lowers your feeling of self-worth

It is a person’s self-worth is harmed, if that individual does not regularly feel desired. But a lack of sex has been proven to affect a person’s well-being, leading to sadness or depression when sex is absent from their lives. Studies have shown that having sex regularly helps fight depression. It can sometimes even work as well as antidepressants.

8. Your risk of cancer increases

For metate cancer increases when they don’t have sex for a longer period of time. So it’s not a bad idea for men to “flush out” the pipes. Because then the risk is significantly reduced. Well, motivation enough, then I don’t know what is!

For all these reasons, it would be almost irresponsible not to make love more regularly, don’t you think?! If you need some help and some extra fun, buy the How Game Are You? Couples Intimacy game to take things up a notch.

The game includes 4 CHILLI CARDS that has sex topics in them. These are optional and in a sealed section so only select them if you want to change things up a little.

Sexual Mindset To Save Your Sex Lives

August 24, 2016/0 Comments/in Intimacy and Connection, Relationship, Sex /by Bradley Field

Sex therapist Vanessa Marin gives 5 ways to adjust your sexual mindset to get your sex life re-invigorated. Here’s a good read on adjusting your sexual attitude and thinking and sexual mindset to save your sex lives. Read sex therapist Vanessa Marin’s five pieces of advice.

1. Be more playful.

Just be yourself in the bedroom rather than the opposite. Feel free to laugh and joke around while you’re in bed with your partner. And finally, welcome the silly side of sex. Remember, sex is supposed to be fun.

2. Get better at initiation and rejection.

Unskilled initiation and rejection are toxic to a relationship. It can cultivate resentment, anxiety, and contempt.Mismatched sexual will always be in a relationship but it’s about respectfully and carefully handling them. Playing as a team instead, rather than of opposing each other.

To help you adjust your sexual mindset to save your sex lives, below are some basic guidelines Vanessa Marin gave to her clients:

A. Initiating

- State what you want clearly, but don’t act as if you’re demanding.
- Be honestly interested in how your partner feels.
- Ask if there’s a way you can help your partner feel more open to connecting.
- If you get turned down, feel your disappointment but void sulking or being rude. But instead, allow yourself to feel dejected.

B. Rejecting

- Really listen to your partner’s initiation, and give yourself a moment to consider it. Don’t reject your partner directly. See if you can find even a slight urge of wanting to connect and feel pleasure. Just don’t pressure yourself though, to do things that you don’t want to do.
- See if there’s something different you want instead.
- Give an honest reason for why you’re not interested. This is not because your partner deserves an explanation, but this will lessen the feeling of being dejected.
- Let your partner feel disappointed. It’s OK for you to say no, and it’s OK for him or her to feel let down.

3. Focus to make pleasure always.

you put your head on the pleasure you’ll find how easy it is to orgasm.
Tell your partner what feels good, that way you’ll figure out what you really want.
This reduces body consciousness.
Focusing on pleasure helps you be more present in the moment and less distracted of other things that might get your head crowded, making sex less fun.
Makes life enjoyable as you find pleasure in your ordinary daily routine.

4. Value and protect your sex life. Giving value to your sex life ensures it to be healthy. Here are some of Vanessa’s suggestions:

Tell yourself and your partner that sex is important.
Ask for what you want honestly and openly, without feeling guilt.
Talk about the state of your sexual relationship regularly.
Actively invest in your sex life. Do things like schedule date nights, buy fancy lingerie and quality sex toys, or read sexual technique books together.
Turn off your cell phones, laptops, even your television and make time for each other.

5. Have a beginner’s mind. There are a number ways you can experiment with sex. Look at it as something new to learn and try. Because sex is something you will never be able to fully master!

Sexual Scripts That Will Save Your Sex Life

July 26, 2016/0 Comments/in Intimacy and Connection, Relationship, Sex /by Bradley Field

Sexual scripts that will save your sex life are needed to be updated in relationships over time to keep the physical relationship vibrant. Sometimes sexual scripts (e.g. kissing > foreplay > intercourse) or the way you’re getting sexual with your partner can get so boring. This happens because of strenuous, full of anxiety and sometimes being blocked by our emotional barriers and baggage.

According to Lisa Thomas, LMFT and Clinical Sex therapist, sexual scripts needs to be updated in relationships over time to keep the physical relationship vibrant. Additionally, having a sexual script that you both are not enjoying can lead to sexual dysfunction, dissatisfaction and low frequency. On the other hand, sexual scripts that work for both of you can lead a couple’s intimate relationship to a new level of connection.

Below she summarized some guideline to help couples rewrite a sexual script that is satisfying, pleasurable and relaxing:

Kiss for 5 minutes. Kissing helps you get aroused, ready for sex, reduces anxiety as it relaxes as.
Don’t skip foreplay and take turn giving and receiving. Foreplay is the most intimate step of the sexual process. It represents the part of a sexual encounter where you take turns in pleasuring each other. Oral stimulation is one example of foreplay. Try talking about it with your partner outside the bedroom as something you both want to explore.
Say something like “that feels good” or like what they are doing by giving them gestures. Your partner would often want to know which of their touches feels good. Give a good feedback so they’ll know what they’re doing makes you feel pleasured. And if in any way, your partner can’t grasp on what you really like, finally show them.
Look at each other while being sexual. During the process of being sexual together, open your eyes and look at your partner. Looking at each other leads you both to grow sexually by confronting each one’s sexual self, by taking risks together and taking ownership of each other by being sexually connected together.
Try new things that you like. This can just be, when did the last time you tried initiating, experimenting new positions, new lighting.

Taking Your Sex Life Up A Notch

February 17, 2016/0 Comments/in Intimacy and Connection, Relationship, Sex /by Bradley Field

Do you want to explore and expand your sexuality? Explore and expand your intimate relationship in taking your sex life up a notch. Here are seven steps (to be done largely in this order) to help you whether you are in an early days but highly charged relationship, or want to expand what you are currently enjoying and move to an even higher level.

Check in with yourself. What are your sexual wants, needs and desires. You can create a list of categories such as:

things you are already familiar with and enjoy
what you think might be interested in trying out with a long time partner
know that don’t even entice you a little bit.

What are your sexual blocks?

These are things that makes you want to run away and hide, makes you blush, shut down in silence.

Ask your partner to write up their own list.

See the overlaps in your list. You can take turns speaking or if you’re brave enough, exchange lists. Remember the list is not a binding contract that you have to entirely do what is listed. It’s just a list of suggestions/ideas to work on your sexuality within the relationship and open communication.

Aim to be overly safe.

Discuss thoroughly before you start any exploratory sexual play. It might be checking in first when the times seems right, before getting involved, or creating safety words. Your sex life, your rules.

Start small.

It can get overwhelming sometimes but start slowly and a step at a time. That way you will feel more comfortable and see each differences and changes with your emotional and physical intimacy.

Schedule sexual play dates.

You might think that this would be putting a schedule on your sex life and would possibly just make things boring. However, this is a dedicated sexual play date with the sole intention of exploring new territory with each other. Giving sex more time and space for it to be more fun.

Ballet Meets Pole Dancing

February 15, 2016/0 Comments/in Sex /by Bradley Field

This ‘Ballet Meets Pole Dancing’ post seems to have attracted a lot of attention, but whatever your preference, bias, beliefs are around pole dancing, you have to admit that this is artistic genius, amazing strength, beauty and sexuality all combined.

Ballet meets Pole dancing.

Whenever we have a connection with someone, we create a level of intimacy. For most people, the ‘highest’ level of intimacy can be found through sex – especially if you have an emotional connection to that person.

But, dance can in many ways approach the level of intimacy many people have in sex. For most dancers, they will tell you that it’s not about sex – and they’re correct; it’s very often not about having sex with their partner. Its about ‘Connection’.

A great game for Connection and Intimacy
