Is Your Life Too Busy for Sex? (Video)
2007-12-27 18:33:00
Unfortunately for most of us, there never seems to be enough time in the day to accomplish everything that needs to be done. From the moment we wake up and groggily resist our primitive urge to smash the alarm clock against the wall, our bodies are set to "fast forward", speeding through our days in a blur of work, school, and parenthood. It's no wonder that under these circumstances sex happens less and less frequently, even among "young" couples.

Are You Really In Love Or Just Wearing Blinders?
2007-12-16 21:18:00
Have you ever known someone who was ?in love? with someone that you could clearly see was bad news? Their ?excessive devotion? prevented them from being able to clearly see the other person. In my experience, being ?in love? is a kind of hypnotic state. We transfix our attention on someone so wholeheartedly that we hypnotize ourselves into seeing what we want to see in the other person. That doesn?t mean that this other person doesn't really have many great traits, but it does mean that we can only see what we want to see in this state.

3 Reasons Why Married People Have Better Sex
2007-12-10 15:24:00
It?s true, people who are married or in long term relationships continually report higher levels of sexual satisfaction than people who are single or dating. The old belief that committing yourself to one person dooms you to a life of sexual monotony is wrong. Rather than placing limits on your sexuality, the emotional environment created by long term relationships (LTRs) actually fosters a more varied, creative, and explorative sex life.

All of us seem to have a craving for power. We are all driven to get control over the situations we find ourselves in, and mostly, over our partners.

2007-11-28 20:58:00
If you consider yourself to be submissive and yet you find others wanting you to dominate them, I can see where this could get a little confusing. The big question I have for you is ?Why are you attracting these people?". If you are truly submissive, why do these people keep wanting you to dominate them.
