Let's Talk Intimacy (Page 5)

At last, you found The One. Each time she enters a room, your heart skips inside your chest, your palms sweat, your pupils dilate, your nerves are on edge and your mind floods with ideas of making her happy, content and wanting more. The hours or days anticipating seeing her cannot pass quickly enough. You feel knots in your stomach. The love bug has definitely swung your way and you cannot imagine a future without...

We all embody a little godliness in us. It can be pleasurable, enlightening and satisfying when someone else recognizes and appreciates our inner godliness and even better when he draws it out. Tantric sex is a way to connect or even worship the divinity within your partner and care for and nurture another. The origin of the word Tantra comes from the Sanskrit, meaning to stretch, weave, extend. Think of tantric sex...

Group sex sounds hot, right? If you are one of the many men who have experienced performance anxiety in the bedroom with one person, perhaps group sex sounds terrifying. Have no fear. First, I want you to expand your sexual intelligence and expand your perspectives and definition of what sex is and what it means. If to you sex equals penis in vagina exclusively, and having a hard cock means you are sexy, powerful,...

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, most ladies are anticipating the typical chocolates, jewelry or roses. But what do you get a guy? Unfortunately, most men aren’t into the cheesy, lovey-dovey stuff, which leaves women walking aimlessly through aisles of giant stuffed animals, candy and ooey-gooey love cards thinking, “What the hell am I going to get him?” Don’t restrict yourself to mushy gifts...

There’s a trend sweeping the nation, and it’s starting to get a lot of attention. There’s an army of younger men becoming addicted to older women. The term for fans of the older woman is "MILFaholic." Younger women, no matter how cute, pretty and sexy, just don’t do it for these young bucks. Are you a MILFaholic yourself? Every time you go on a date with a younger woman, you feel like you’re in a soap...

I often get letters from guys who are in the throes of dating relationships with men of the same sexual role preference (two tops, the ones doing the penetrating during sex, and two bottoms, the ones being penetrated) and find themselves experiencing frustration and conflict when their sexual fulfillment takes a hit and their needs are unmet. This is a common scenario and can create strain in an otherwise perfectly...

Having sex for the first time with someone new comes with a combination of exhilaration, nervousness and excitement. The question of when to have sex with your new guy is an important one with several key factors to consider. Ladies, I want to let you in on a few of the best-kept secrets among men. This is the good stuff they don’t want us to know: Secret 1: We all know men are sexual beings and they act like they...

Have you seen DatingAdvice.com's study that says gay Americans are more likely to kiss on the first date than our straight counterparts? If not, check it out here. Equally striking is the amount of gay men who report their dislike for this form of affection and intimacy. Why would this be? For me, there’s no bigger turn-on! Whether you’re for or against this form of “facial intercourse," as coined by sexologist Dr....

Reader Question: I have been dating a guy for about four weeks now. He wanted to take it to a sexual level and I told him I wanted to wait. In the beginning, he would call or text all the time. Now I am lucky to receive a call every couple of days. He doesn't have a problem calling when he needs something, though. Am I fool for caring about this guy? -Crystal (Florida) Gina Stewart's Answer: Yep. There is...

Pillow talk, or couples chatting away beneath the sheets, does not inherently have to involve sexual activity. However, new research is finding post-sex conversation can be quite beneficial to a relationship, largely due to the love hormone. Oxytocin is naturally produced by the brain in response to physical contact with another person and has been linked to people having more lasting and fulfilling relationships....

Being emotionally intimate with someone new can be scary, especially if you have a history of broken hearts and relationships gone awry. Even if you’ve had a rough past or just generally cringe at the thought of being intimate and vulnerable with a new partner, it’s an essential piece of every relationship. Intimacy is the glue that bonds couples together. It’s how trust is built. If you are embarking on a new...

I’ve had an influx of readers and clients lately who have finally met the man of their dreams and are happily paired in a new dating relationship (after what seems like a lifetime of trying to find him), only to be disappointed and distressed when they discover the sex has gone flat and they're struggling in the bedroom. They are thrilled to have Mr. Right in their lives, but they miss the sexual highs and adventure...

Reader Question: In August, my best friend got married. He kept telling me I need to meet his future sister-in-law. Once I met her, we totally hit it off. The only problem was she was very reserved regarding intimacy. She told me she has had problems with intimacy since she broke up with her ex. She told me she did like me but was not in a place to be seriously dating anyone. She wanted to maintain a...

This is an exclusive study conducted by DatingAdvice.com, which surveyed respondents over the course of three weeks to reflect an accurate representation of the U.S. population. A first kiss can be an important step in a relationship. It's often withheld until both parties are comfortable with each other, but how long would you wait to make your move? A new study conducted by DatingAdvice.com found 25 percent of...

In a world where dating and relationships take up most of our time, it is inevitable that sex will, too. Just like we move on from another heartbreak to a new relationship, and maybe to yet another failure, it is inevitable that we share our bed with more than a couple of guys. But right after yet another lover leaves our bed, and the scent of his body is still on our bed sheets, we can’t help but wonder, "Have I...

If I were to poll 100 men asking what types of movies and books they prefer, most likely their answers would be predictably similar: 007, Schwarzenegger, Tom Clancy and John Grisham to name a few. Men love action/adventure, intrigue and things blowing up in the middle of the night. However, when it comes to women, there’s a reason why they’ve made authors like Nicholas Sparks and actresses such as Jennifer Anniston...

When we partner up, we bring our unique personalities, qualities and preferences to the relationship. This includes everything from our food choices, hobbies, interests, movie selections and bedtime routines. With every new relationship, there are issues to navigate. A common one women mention is their partner is not as affectionate as they would like. Operating under the idea that men are not mind readers is...

Often when I tell people I'm a seduction coach, they'll reply, "Oh, you mean you teach those classes on how to give blowjobs?" In the past, I've always replied, "No, because if you think I can teach you how to suck off your man better than you can, and I've never even met him, then one of us has a problem. Maybe both. Possibly all three." Already great at giving blowjobs? Test out your skills with a free trial on...

Vulnerability can be a challenging and sometimes scary concept to think about. Jumping in and taking a risk requires being bold and being yourself. Letting your guard down is vital in dating and relationships. This is a topic that hits close to home. I was in a five-year relationship that was very restricting and caused me to become very guarded. After that, I went into a nine-month relationship that was nothing but...

Until a few months ago, all penises were, for the most part, the same to me. That is, until I met my last boyfriend, Luc, who it turned out wasn't uncircumcised. He introduced me to a new game... where penises come in uniform! Single and looking for a date? We've tested and reviewed tons of sites and found Match.com, with its free 3-day trial, to be your best option. At 33, I saw my first uncircumcised penis,...

Got a silent or emotionally avoidant partner? Perhaps one of the most frustrating relationship challenges for women is the dilemma over how they can’t get a guy to open up. Verbal women don't take silent men well and sometimes it's hard to get your head around the idea that men connect to others much differently than women do. They may choose to use humor to communicate their feelings instead of mushy, emotional...

Anal intercourse is one of the least talked about sex acts and probably one of the most taboo. It is still illegal in some places and associated with homosexuality, even though not all gay men participate in this sex act and it is not uncommon in heterosexual coitus either. On the other hand, in some cultures anal intercourse was viewed as a way to have sex without compromising female virginity. Anal sex can be...

It’s the 21st century. You and your senior mate are both adults. Each of you has likely been married before, whether your marriage ended in divorce or the death of your spouse. You two have now been dating for a while and are interested in becoming more intimate with each other. Perhaps you’re feeling trepidation about your bedroom skills and attraction appeal. Frankly, it’s been a while since both of you have...

Changes in a mother's sexual interest after she gives birth has long been documented in previous research. Now a new effort is aimed at understanding how the partner adapts after a little one arrives. Published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, the study found a number of factors that reduce the sexual interest of both partners following the recent birth of a child, including fatigue, stress levels and lack of...

Are we addicted to sex that's not good for us? Dr. Wendy Walsh explains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cwnHtv--6Q

Our town is able to support two swingers clubs, and it’s pretty amazing! Given Oregon’s laws around alcohol and nudity, our clubs are able to have both onsite sex and alcohol, so the environment is quite different than clubs in neighboring states (from what I know). Visiting a swingers club was the very first thing J. and I did in exploring sexual non-monogamy. We were both so nervous. We explored the club’s...

J. and I have had a number of threesomes, both with other men and other women. They've been exciting, they've been sexy, and they've been great relationship-building experiences. Here are a few of the hottest threesome experiences I have had: 1. Our first MFM threesome The summer after we opened up, we had a threesome with Josh.
