Is Having Cyber Sex Before Physical Sex a Good Idea?
2007-11-20 14:50:00
These days it?s nearly impossible to begin a relationship without using some form of cyber communication during those critical ?getting to know you? weeks. From meeting online via a dating website to having a casual chat over instant messenger, the likelihood that you?ll have at least one online conversation with your potential lover is extremely high. One of the main differences between online and face-to-face conversations is the amount of social inhibitions experienced by the chatters. Because online communications encourage an atmosphere of anonymity, it?s easier for most people to open up about themselves. The lack of physical/visual social repercussions online, such as a frown of disapproval, makes online chatters less vulnerable to emotional hurts, and therefore much more willing to take chances by saying things that might otherwise be considered "inappropriate" in person.

Who?s Responsible for Contraception - the Man or the Woman?
2007-11-07 17:51:00
Having sex for the first time with a new partner is always an exercise in silent negotiation. Issues such as who will take the dominant role or when the undressing will begin abound and are often worked out using body language, eye contact, and other non-verbal communication cues. Although these stealthy tools are enough to successfully answer most of the questions that arise during those initial moments of sexual bliss, the issue of contraception is not and should not be one of them.

2007-11-04 13:18:00
One of the biggest mistakes that people make with the Law of Attraction is trying to control another person. For example, picturing your ex-taking you back is actually a form of trying to control his or her actions and feelings.

Your guy may change your tires, buy you presents and open the door for you at a restaurant, but he has not yet uttered those three words. Does that mean he doesn't love you? Men are hard to read. They are not as verbal as women, and some have been raised on the belief that "actions speak louder than words. "Chalk it up to genetics, culture (nature versus nurture) ... it doesn't matter. You just want to know if you're a man's final destination, not just a rest stop along the highway.

Finding A Rhythm That Works When She?s ?On Top?
2007-10-18 15:32:00
Being in the "on top" position during sex can be a nerve-wracking experience for both women and men. The expectation to please and to make the person "on bottom" orgasm can easily turn a playful sexual experience into an emotional disaster. Although it's commonly assumed that the person in the dominant position has more control over the situation, and is therefore less vulnerable, this is not often the case from an emotional perspective.

The hot new song from Pink which is all the rage these days - and one of the top songs on iTunes - has an unusual title that many people haven't noticed. It's called "U + Ur Hand ", as in "You and Your Hand". There's this expectation that any woman in a bar is looking for a man. What she's saying is that she's there for herself, NOT looking for a guy.
