Sexual Fantasies

June 3rd, 2009, 7:29 pm by Tara

mila-avatarThe stress and libido posting brought about a lot of reqests for more ways to keep romance carefree in our busy lifestyles.

One way to keep romance in our stressful lives is to exercise our imagination. Free your mind and your libido will follow. Delve into your fantasies and you should be able to open your sexual experience. Conjure any images that may put you in the mood. Most people fear their fantasies but don’t.  It doesn’t mean that you’ll always follow through with your fantasies.

Take time to unwind. Relax, exercise your imagination and enjoy.

Stress and sexual desire

May 25th, 2009, 9:23 pm by Tara

mila-avatarWe all got it…stress, stress and more stress. Stress can be a leading cause of diminished sexual desire. It can lower testosterone, which is responsible for sex drive. It can also release a chemical reaction in the body, restricting blood flow and thus making arousal and orgasm sometimes difficult.

If you’re like most people, your workload will not be letting up any time soon. So what can you do?

Start doing things that make you feel better both mentally and physically. Have friends over more often. Listen to music. Get a massage and get one often. Try Biofreeze (a soothing product used by massage therapists) on your shoulder and neck.

We all love it but caffeine isn’t good for stress. And stay away from all the depressing news on TV. Watch George Lopez or something funny prior to hitting the sheets.

According to reproductive medical specialist and fertility expert, Dr. Arthur Wisot, “sex occurs 90 percent in the head and 10 percent in the genitals.”

If you’re feeling stressed out take time to unwind and enjoy your sexual desires.

How long should I wait?

May 13th, 2009, 8:22 pm by Tara

kitten2I’ve been dating James for almost one year. Our love, faith and trust is deep and sincere. We’re not just lovers, we are best friends.

For over a month, James has been talking about marriage, how many kids I want, and other things. One day I see us as a married couple with children but I wonder sometimes if we’re rushing into things.

I’m in my mid-20’s and have always respected advice from my Mom. She loves James but tells me that I should date him for 2 years before marrying him. I have friends that married after knowing their spouse for only weeks and months. None of them waited 2+ years. More than half of them have marital problems or are now divorced.

When I marry I want to have a life-long relationship. My mom divorced my dad after 15 years of marriage. They dated less than 1 year.

James feels that when people know they have a long-lasting relationship it shouldn’t matter how long you date.  That lasting relationship can be built in days, some in weeks and others take years.

We’re not talking about getting married in the next several months, but I wonder how long we should date before we become engaged.

No Lovin from Husband

March 9th, 2009, 4:59 pm by Tara

OK it’s been almost a month and I’m still pissed. My husband did not get me anything for Valentine’s Day. No flowers, no gift, NOTHING, nada. He didn’t even take me out to dinner because he says the restaurants are too busy and he doesn’t like it that they only serve certain meals. He use to give me flowers and cards when we were dating. But since we’ve been married (5 years) the flowers, cards and holiday celebrations ceased. We hardly even ever go out.

I’m hurt and upset.  He says he doesn’t understand why I’m still pissed. A simple Valentine’s card or little gift would have been nice. He didn’t even take the time to show he cares. Bet you would be pissed too. Why are some men so heartless?

Surefire kissing techniques

December 18th, 2008, 9:10 pm by Tara

According to the Albright College Study, 59% of males said that they would not pursue a relationship with a woman if their first kiss was not pleasurable. If you feel there is great chemistry, work these surefire smooching techniques offered by Denise Hughes, author of Dateworthy.

1.  Run your fingers through his hair and stroke the back of his head. It makes the kiss sexy and exciting while still being casual.

2.  To help you relax and be in the moment, close your eyes and touch your forehead to his, matching his breathing.

3. At the end of the kiss, gently bite his lower lip for a fraction of a second. This sends the message that you want more of him.

4. Kissing your guy on the right side of his body makes a difference says Daniel Amen M.D. The left hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for positive feelings, controls the right side of the body. He’ll process your presence in the optimistic part of his mind and experience greater pleasure.

Give any or all of these techniques a try. Then leave a Love Bytes comment on your results. Have other techniques? Share them on this blog.

Hot gifts for her

December 16th, 2008, 9:21 pm by Tara

Despite what you may think, a woman’s idea of romance isn’t a kitchen appliance, a bottle of perfume (so cliche) or roses.  And despite popular opinion, it’s not the price tag that counts, it’s the thought. The more time, effort and thought you put into her gift — and the more you personalize it — the gushier she’ll get.

So, this year, make sure she’s bursting with cheer (and gratitude) by putting one of these romantic gifts under the tree.

1.  Lacy teddies, slips, garters and more

She’ll look decadent with any of these Victoria Secrets gift items. It’s what all girls love to receive!

2. OMG, love coupons are not romantic, but handmade cards are. No matter what you give her, by including a card and a personalized note, you automatically get romance points. If you buy a card be sure the inscription comes from the heart.

3.  Waterproof Radio Shower Mirror

Lets you play music from MP3 or CD player and more.

4.  Membership to an “… of the month” club

This is a perfect monthly reminder of your love for her. Not only will you get points for romance, you’ll get points for originality and thoughtfulness, especially if you tailor it to her tastes.

If she’s a chocoholic, go with a chocolate of the month club. If she’s a wine snob, go with wine of the month. And it doesn’t stop there, ”of the month” clubs  also center around cheese, coffee, candles, flowers, fruit, and movies; just log onto AmazingClubs.com and browse until you find the perfect match.

5. Concert tickets

Give her concert tickets to her favorite singer or band. Make it a weekend getaway that she’ll never forget!

6. Jewelry

Spoil her with exquisite jewelry. Select a certain cut, carat or cluster. Jewelry makes a gorgeous gift to express how you are feeling…now and for a lifetime.

7. Relaxing spa package for two

Spend the day together relaxing at a spa. Then go home with a bottle of wine and enjoy!

Holiday break up

December 16th, 2008, 10:19 am by Tara

I’ve been dating this girl but now I want to break up cause I think she’s psycho. Should I break up with her now or wait till after the holidays? I don’t want to ruin her Christmas but I don’t want to be with her anymore.  What should I do?

Breaking up during the holidays can be difficult and somewhat heartless. Why go through the holiday pretending you care and leading her on? No need to wait…do it now.  The sooner you break up the sooner you’ll be happier.
