Stress and sexual desire

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

We 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.

Dateless New Year’s Eve

December 30th, 2008, 10:09 pm by Tara

Single and don’t have a date for New Year’s. Don’t get depressed or bummed out. HAVE A BLAST WITHOUT A DATE! Julia Bourland, author of The Go-Girl Guide suggests the following ways to enjoy the evening.

1. Choose the right group to celebrate with. Don’t hang with those who act really exclusive with their significant other. BORING.

2. Plan your own get together whether it’s drinks at your place or a mellow movie night. Forgo the usual festivities and enjoy the evening with true friends.

3. If you want to party hard, attend more than one bash. You won’t be stuck should one gathering turn out to be a dud for unattached chicks. And who knows…you may meet a new guy!

4. Decide ahead of time what you’ll do when the ball drops and couples start kissing. Call or text your best friend or sister who is celebrating elsewhere or uncork a bottle of a champagne at the end of the countdown. Whatever you do…have a blast!

IF YOU DRINK…DRINK RESPONSIBLY

Hot & Flirtatious

November 22nd, 2008, 6:03 pm by Tara

My friend and I were at a local club catching up on everything over a glass of wine. This handsome guy came to our table. He was so HOT. We engaged in a brief but flirtatious conversation and exchanged numbers. It’s been over one week and he hasn’t even called. I want to call him but I’m afraid to be rejected. I searched myspace and facebook…but no luck. He’s all I think about! What should I do? — Liz, still waiting in McAllen

Liz, I think you should call or text him. What have you got to lose? Maybe he’s lost your number. Maybe he’s not really interested. Better to know how he feels now than waiting precious time hoping he will call you. Do it today!

Love Bytes readers…Should Liz call him or just chalk it up to a night at the club and then move on? What would you do?

Who’s pays

November 19th, 2008, 7:11 pm by Tara

It’s ackward but I bet we’ve all been there. Who should pay the check when you go out with a friend? Should we split the total bill or each pay separately? Sometimes it’s really ackward…especially when it’s a guy friend. What do you do?

Fed up with “friend” mode

November 19th, 2008, 7:02 pm by Tara

Fed up writes that she always seems to get stuck in the “friend” mode. She has no problem meeting guys, talking to guys or becoming the guy’s best friend. But who wants that all the time. She just met a super cute and nice guy and is having trouble getting past the “friend” thing. They’ve gone out several times but nothing happens. Talk about frustration…always the friend and never the good stuff. What should she do? How do you get out of the “friend” mode?

Stuck in the middle

August 19th, 2008, 6:32 pm by Tara

I have a guy friend who recently started a new relationship with a girl he knows. I met her through him, and we always hang out together as a group. I’ve known him longer, and I’m also close friends with his family. Recently, she told me that they got into a bad argument, and she’s not sure if he’s going to forgive her. He also mentioned to me that they were having some problems. I have a feeling that she’s talking to her ex-boyfriend again, but I’m not sure if I should tell him or not. What if I’m wrong, and what if he believes her over me and I loose two friends…..She mentioned to me that her ex has been calling, and I’m 99 percent sure that they’ve talked. She also told me that my friend would be very upset at her if he knew. I don’t know what to do! I just want to stay out of it, but I don’t want my guy friend to get hurt, either.

Friends and Money

August 7th, 2008, 5:56 am by Dreamer

My best friend and I hang out alot but we have a problem. She makes less money than I do and always feels she can’t afford to go out. She insists that we rent movies and stay home every weekend. We’re never going to meet guys doing this. We could be going to places that don’t cost much money…like cafes or Starbucks…but she doesn’t want to. Am I being selfish and inconsiderate? We’re both in our late 20’s and it would be nice to meet some guys.

Maybe your friend can’t afford to go out, but that doesn’t mean you should stop hanging out with her. Maybe you can still see her, and hang out with her on movie nights, and then go out with another group of friends who can afford to go out. You shoudln’t ditch your friend, but you also shouldn’t hinder what you want to do because she can’t afford to go out.
