When it comes to sex and love, there’s no such thing as too much knowledge. No matter how much experience one has, there are always some things that were missed, some bits of information that did not reach him or her. And since most people have other things to do with their lives than striving to become a sort of walking sex and love encyclopedias, it follows that everybody needs tips now and then.
Among the physical expressions of love, kisses are very versatile tools in the emotional kit of any human being. From the short and tender kiss of a grandmother, to heads of state briefly touching their lips to each other’s cheeks and on to passionate lovers French kissing their way to a hot session of sex, it’s obvious that our lips can express many things.
And since the best kisses are those that come out right, some tips are in order for the use of people who either don’t get much practice or are not catching up fast on what they should do. Don’t laugh! Nobody was born knowing how to do this or that thing. We all have to learn.
While we can all be thankful to the French for opening the door to the intimate play of tongues (although it’s not clear whether the French kiss comes from Paris or not), kissing is actually a universal language that can be learnt by all people. Traditionally, French kissing has been associated with the Western world, from which it’s now spreading around the globe.
When preparing to go for the kiss, take your time for a reality check. Is the girl willing to go along with this or not? If you’re about to make your approach and the girl gets an embarrassed look on her face and starts fidgeting in her chair in what may be seen as an evasive maneuver, then pull back and give her some breathing space. Don’t rush things because you’re going to regret it.
First thing you need to know is that French kisses are not meant for the first date, unless, of course, the girl is quite the party animal and you both know that your date has only one purpose. In that case, anything goes if you can get away with it; even sex in the restaurant’s lavatory. Or if the girl is so clearly willing that there can be no mistake about it. But in all other cases, save French kissing either for the end of the date or for another date.
Two things that girls hate is to have guys shoving their tongues down their throats and to have their oxygen supply cut off during kissing. Therefore, you need to take care that you leave the girl enough room to breathe or to break the kiss every now and then. This will also help you, because you also need the oxygen. Two people kissing are sharing an intimate moment, not engaging in an endurance test or in a race to the death.
When actually going for the kiss, don’t charge with your tongue sticking out or your mouth. This can gross out even the hardcore promiscuous people. Put your lips against hers and only then let your tongue come out to play. And don’t stab her mouth with your tongue. Keep your cool and read her emotions. If she wants more passion or a little rough play, then go ahead and do what you think best. If not, then keep your tongue to yourself.
On the other hand, if both you and your partner find yourselves exhausted by a prolonged session of passionate kissing, then you are on the right path. It means that she enjoys your kisses and that she probably doesn’t mind going even further. Just remember to refrain from rushing things. The slow path is sometimes best.
Do's and don'ts. What not to do when kissing.
Art Of Kissing
Kissing is something that I could talk about over and over again and never get bored. What can I say, I love to kiss? Nothing is better than a good kiss. Nothing makes the birds seem to sing louder, the grass seem greener than a great kiss. We have talked in past articles about kissing, but not really too much about methods. You aren't born a good kisser. The only thing that will help you is education and practice. I'm sure glad there are things like kissing to practice in life, life would have been boring if all it was, was geometry. Let's talk about different ways that you can kiss. Take some notes and practice on your woman. She will love the new attention.
First there is the domination. We all have seen those WWII clips of them men coming back from battle and kissing their wives. This is a kiss with some power behind it. It can say many things.
A kiss like this will knock her off of her feet. Maybe you might use this kiss if you haven't seen her for awhile. You might use this kiss if you are very horny and can't contain yourself any more. We all have had those strong moments where we feel like we have to kiss someone. We need an outlet for all the sexual frustration that we are feeling. The great thing about a kiss is, it is easy and fast too do. You can get your sexual frustration out without having to take off your clothes. The element of surprise is what makes a woman the wettest. This isn't a kissing technique per se, but you will get the drift.
While you are kissing her, roam her body with your hands. Explore every area that you can. This will make her go crazy before you can even begin to think about what your next move is. I can't tell you enough how important this is. Before you give your woman a kiss, make sure your breath smells okay. Don't go kissing her if you just ate a tuna on rye sandwich. If you are in doubt, go brush your teeth. You don't like it when she has shit stuck in her teeth that fall into your mouth.
Lets talk more about kissing and not the do's and don'ts. The explore kiss. This is where you spend some time getting to know her mouth. This is a fun one from time to time. It shows that you are interested in her. You are learning new ways to excite her. This can be good for both of you. Good for you because you will learn new things that turn her on. Great for her because she will think all this time you are spending on her is great.
The peck before bed. You know you aren't getting laid when you get that little peck before she rolls over in her flannel night gown. It doesn't have to be such a little innocent kiss. Instead, look into her eyes when she gives you that little peck. Run your fingers through her hair and tell her that you love her. This will give her sweet dreams all night long.
Just like the peck before bed, turn that peck before you leave for work into something special. Tell her that you will be thinking about her all day long while at work. Look her in the eyes and smile when you say it. This will keep her waiting for when you get home. You can also use kisses to see where she is at sexually. If you are turned on but you are not sure if she is, kiss her and find out. Give her a long slow kiss, if she comes back wanting more, than you know you are going to score in the sack. If on the other hand after you are done she is talking about he bills you owe that month, you aren't getting laid tonight.
You may not know it, but a kiss holds a lot of power to a woman. With the right kiss you can make her go from undecided to a horny vixen when it comes to sex. If you aren't sure that you will get laid, a kiss is a good way to test the waters. A kiss can also be a way to show affection. If you just want to show that you love her and are thinking about her, a great way to show it is a little peck. This will make her feel warm and fuzzy inside and know that you care.
Kissing shows interest. It maybe sexual or just love, but it does it all the same. Your woman will respond to this the same way time and time again. She will be happy to feel your lips on hers. Don't forget, you can never get too many kisses in your lifetime.
Phone and Sex
Sometimes, even if you have a regular and active sex life, it is a lot of fun to talk dirty to your partner over the phone. Whether you talk about what you did last night, what you want to do to her this weekend (or what you want her to do to you) or whether you just weave a fantasy, talking on the phone has an entirely different sexual dynamic than talking in person. If you or your girlfriend is shy, you also might find it easier to find your sexual tongue on the phone than face to face. Even people who live together find talking about sex on the phone feels totally different than talking together in person.
A lunchtime call from the office can lead to a "quickie" over the phone to make the rest of the day go by a little faster. And for most people, telling their deepest sexual fantasies comes much more easily when they cannot see the person they are talking to. That is probably the reason so many dollars are spent on commercial phone sex. The difference here is that you are telling a person you care about, and that can make your fantasies come to life. Talking on the phone often somehow feels more intimate than talking in person. It also leaves one hand free if you should happen to
find that all that talk makes you want to masturbate. You can tell your fantasy in a present tense as if you were describing something that was happening at that minute. "I am taking off your bra. Your nipples stand up as I suck on them". That way, your partner can take over from time to time "It feels wonderful when you suck on them. Don't stop".
By sharing your fantasies on the phone, you can weave amazing fantasies that include things you would have trouble doing in person, or that you wouldn't really want to do but like the idea of. Also if you or your girlfriend have fantasies about being other people - a pirate and his captive maiden or a rich woman and the gardener - it's sometimes easier to do it on the phone. You and your wife or girlfriend can also weave fantasies from which you can take your next encounter together. You can learn a little more about what each of you like and dislike sexually, and which are the best parts, and next time you can do those more. This is also a wonderful way to spend your nights when you're out of town. A romantic phone call to say "I miss you" can become an amazing sexual encounter that will keep both of you tingling all the next day.
If your lover is unsure, but is open to listening, the first time you try this she may mostly listen. If you feel awkward, you can start slow with things that you like about her, and what your favourite things are that she does to you. This won't take as much creative thought, and won't feel as risky as telling a deep-seated fantasy. Or you can talk about the first time you had sex together. What it felt like, how good it was. Once again, this is not as sexual as you would probably like to get, but starting slow might be more comfortable.
Phone sex with your partner can give whole new dimensions to your sexual feelings for each other, and make being apart a lot more fun.
When should I go in for the first kiss?
Love and sex are among the things that make our lives better and increase our pleasure to live. But every good thing has a less pleasurable side and one must admit that a lot of stress is associated with these delightful activities. The first touch, the first kiss, the first evening out, the first night spent together, all these key moments of the early part of a relationship can be very stressful for both partners. Some people think that these moments can make or break relationships, but the issue is still up for debate.
Not everybody gets it right the first time and many first nights spent together are not that great. It takes time to learn what the other likes, wants and looks for in and out of bed, so there are bound to be a lot of early fumbles and mistakes. On the plus side, these awkward moments may end up as sweet memories two lovers can laugh about years later. Still, a mistake is a mistake and the fewer one does, the better off everybody is.
Since you both are most likely to be nervous the first time, make sure you set the stage for this event. When you feel you are both comfortable with each other and that your relationship has advanced enough to warrant a more intimate approach, make a plan for the setting of the first kiss. Choose a location you are familiar with and whose main feature is intimacy.
There is also an ungodly amount of hype surrounding first kisses. The two partners should, allegedly, hear bells ringing or feel like having a thousand butterflies in their stomachs and other such nonsense. Don’t let such ideas put you off if the first kiss was not followed by a huge display of fireworks. Cherish it as the first step toward what may prove to be a special relationship and move forward. In other words, kiss her because you both feel like it, not because it’s some sort of ritual, and do it at your own pace and in your own style.
If you are not certain of what she wants or likes, then don’t rush into a French kiss. Brush your lips gently against hers, look into her eyes for the confirmation and then come back for a second try with a more resolute approach. If she does not recoil, then you can be a bit more firm. But the gentle brushing is a very good idea for the first kiss. It will net you points for both control and tenderness.
Unless you are the type who jumps head first into anything and just hopes for the best, you may want to actually take a moment and think about this before doing anything. A lonely bench in the park at sunset is a good idea. The doorstep of her parents’ house is not. Don’t make a hasty affair of the first kiss because your girlfriend is very likely to remember this for a long time afterwards. Pick a quiet spot, where nobody is going to bustle in on you just as you’re getting ready to share a pleasant moment. Make sure your hygiene is fit for this occasion: no bad breath, no smelly body.
No fancy stuff on the first kiss. There’ll be time enough for this later on. Don’t spoil the moment by trying something really special and making a mess of it. Stick to a slow and gentle kiss that paves the way for the more advanced stuff to come. Just focus on sliding into each other’s arms, finding a comfortable position and kissing away to heart’s content. If you can pull this off without a hitch, then you can say your first kiss with that partner was a complete success.
Love Machine
Let's say you're a great talker. Sexy and passionate. Laid back. Knows how to have fun. Great kisser. Unpredictable and you're a 'rare to find'. Your love is one of a kind, silly, fun and sweet. You have your own unique sexiness and you're the most caring person every single girl wants to meet. And last but not the least, you're amazing in bed. Did I say AMAZING IN BED??? Frankly, if you're doubting yourself then you have a big problem. Whether you’re actually bad in bed or just low on confidence, I can’t say. This is up to you to find out, while I’m just doing some explaining for your convenience. The root of the problem lies in the very simple fact that it takes a lot of experience to know if a woman has an orgasm or if she’s faking it. And even experienced men can’t always tell if the woman’s faking it or not. Bottom line: you can never be sure that your performance is top quality. And that’s even before we take into account slip ups and “that time” when you were too tired or too stressed or you had too much to drink and, well, you know what happened. Unfortunately, these things can erode a man’s peace of mind and confidence and make him suspicious of his lady’s behavior, even if he shouldn’t be. Some times are good and some times are bad and there’s little you can do about it. Loosing confidence in yourself and throwing good self-esteem out the window just because of a slip up is not the way to deal with this. Okay then, put all the blame to stress. Stress is one of the great “sex killers” nowadays because no man can truly enjoy himself if he keeps thinking about deadlines, bosses, nasty co-workers or credit card debt. We do live in a stressful world and the modern fashion that surrounds a man with dozens of machines in order to allow him to work harder and harder everyday is doing it’s best to ruin sex around the world. I’m sure that many men who have to resort to Viagra would do better to try and relax a little and take things easier. Aside from its direct impact on performance, stress has some side effects that are just as bad. Some men take to drinking because of it. It always starts small, since going out with the guys is fun and, hey, we’re just having a few beers. Before you know it the number of beers grows and the “evenings out” turn into “nights out”. Small wonder that a stressed man with a significant quantity of alcohol in his body is not performing in bed as usual. Men need to recognize the early signs of stress in their lives and take control of the situation. Remember that once you’ve started asking questions about your performance you could easily slide into a pattern where low self esteem triggers a failure, which, in turn, sends self esteem even lower and so on. Try to be a bit more positive about things. You were probably tired or stressed. Or you may need to learn some new positions and break the bedroom routine a bit. If you are keen to get sex right then you need Lovecentria . Lovecentria contains the very best in video, written and interactive sexual advice to ensure that bedroom faux pas are a thing of the past.

Working With Sex
by Cheeky Muffy Why go work out in the gym all day and come home too tired to have sex? Why not skip a day at the gym and work out in bed? I know what you are thinking, it can't be the same kind of work out, no it can't be. It is a better kind of work out! Who wouldn't love to work out and have an orgasm too!? I know that your lover enjoys those long sensual times in the bed, but they like a twist on things too. There are ways other than pounding the hell out of her that you can get a good work out. Of course, that is a good work out. I have known a lot of women in bed who loved to be pounded. They like it when you go fast and hard. The faster the better. I would watch how hard you do it, that can hurt. Here we will suggest some positions that you can try. I would only suggest that you try these if you are in very good shape. If you aren't, you could end up hurting yourself. Even worse, you could end up hurting your lover. If your lover is at least 65 pounds lighter than you, this is a fun one. While standing, lift your woman by her thighs. Have her wrap her legs around your waist. Bend your knees slightly and keep your arms around her waist. Before you know it, you will be gaining strength and stamina. This exercises your biceps. Standimg up will excesses your hamstrings. Equivalent in gym: Bicep curls Squats or lunges Again, for this one, you will also be standing up. Find a flat surface that you can lay her down on. This surface should be as high as your pelvis. I would suggest a table top. Have her spread her legs on the table. You should insert your penis as if you were attempting to do a missionary position. This position will drive both of you mad. This will feel great for both of you. You can take a break and stand on the balls of your feet if you like. Make sure you don't get too relaxed and go limp. What are you working out? Standing on your toes will work your calves. Resting on your feet will work your hamstrings. Equivalent in gym: Calf raises Squats or lunges Having her be on top is a great way to work out. Though I have to say, that when my woman is on top, the last thing I am thinking about is getting a good work out. Well, that isn't all true, I think of my penis that is getting worked out. Have her ride you both go into pure ecstasy. While she is doing this, lift your head from whatever surface it is on. Kind of like how you would if you were doing sit ups. You will feel the burn in no time if you haven't worked out in awhile. Try not to pull any muscles in your neck. Not only would this be embarrassing, but it hurts like hell. She will think you are about to orgasm, you will be in so much pain you will think you are going to go nuts. What are you working out? Your abs? Equivalent in gym: Crunches Again, you will need your woman to be on top. It is easy to be spoiled when your lover is on top all the time. While she is on top, only your shoulders and feet should be touching the ground. Arch your back so are in a 90 degree angle. This is a great work out and you will feel it in no time. What are you working? Your gluteus maximums (your ass) Your hamstrings Equivalent in gym: Squats Lunges These are just a few of the work outs you can do in bed. If you don't feel like going to the gym one day, this is a great way to excesses. I wouldn't suggest that you do it very often. Once a week max for this type of love making. If you do it more than this, you will turn your love making into work. That is when sex becomes.
What is PMS?
Each month like clockwork, most of women come down with a strange collection of symptoms. Crying spells, mood swings, bloating, headache, fatigue, cramps, and the list goes on. One minute you like to take a bite of chocolate, pizza the next. They snap at their family or bite their friends' head off at the slightest provocation, and then break down to tears because they feel bloated and simply hate the way they look.Most people, especially the male population, are quick to dismiss it as "that time of the month." Women's mood swings had become stereotyped as PMS, an excuse use to justify giving in on their food cravings and acting like a shrew.However, doctors nowadays recognize PMS as a real medical condition with physical and psychological symptoms. PMS or premenstrual syndrome is a set of hormonal changes that generate a variety of both physical and emotional symptoms in women. It usually occurs between 7 to 14 days before actual "period" and then disappears once the menstruation begins. Women may experience PMS during her childbearing years or sometimes even after menopause. Bloating, cramps, fatigue, breast tenderness, and irritability, does this sound familiar? Well you are not alone for studies shows that about 95% of women experience some of over 150 symptoms associated to PMS. The degree of severity varies, some women felt only minor discomfort while for others the symptoms are unbearable enough to interfere with their lives. The symptoms may differ from one person to another and may change from cycle to cycle.Normally, the psychological symptoms of PMS include mood changes like crying spells, depression, anxiety, anger, sadness or irritability. Psychological symptoms may also include some changes in mental functioning such as difficulty in concentrating or remembering as well as changes in sex drive.On the other hand, a wide range of physical symptoms are associated with PMS. Some of the most commonly observed physical symptoms would include fatigue, insomnia, headache, acne, cramps, breast tenderness, bloating, joint or muscle pain. Occasionally, some women experience upset stomach, diarrhea, or constipation. Women with PMS also tend to give in to their food cravings especially for carbohydrates, chocolate or other sweets.Although real test to diagnose PMS has not yet been created, doctors may conduct tests to rule out other conditions that cause similar symptoms. When the symptoms assent with the monthly cycle and the woman's tests are negative for other conditions, then PMS is generally determined to be the cause of her symptoms.There are several conditions to rule out when considering PMS. That includes anemia, diabetes, hypothyroidism, perimenopause, endometriosis, dysmenorrhea and autoimmune disorders. On the other hand, some of the psychological conditions that should be ruled out include eating disorders, alcohol abuse, personality disorders and chronic fatigue syndrome. Oral contraceptive side effects should also be ruled out when considering PMS. To further confirm doctor's diagnosis, keeping a monthly diary of symptoms would also be helpful. PMS is still considered as a largely mysterious phenomenon by the medical community and had been a subject for research and some ongoing studies. Since there has been no single cause of PMS identified or accepted by the medical community, it is likely that PMS is due to a variety of factors, as well as because of genetics, environment and lifestyle factors like nutrition and stress.
Women and the Monthly Menstrual Cycle
Having a period or menstruating is said to be puberty's biggest event. It is a normal and healthy part of being a woman that young girls should be prepared for rather than be terrified. Women began their menstruation cycle during puberty, normally at age 12 or 13 but can start anytime between 8 and 16. The menstrual period, also known as menstruation or menses, is just one part of the menstrual cycle. This is a 28-day long process that happens in all healthy women who are not yet on their menopause. The menstrual cycle involves all the aspects of the woman's reproductive system such as the uterus, cervix, ovaries, fallopian tubes and vagina. The menstrual cycle is the body's way of preparing women for pregnancy. A cycle is generally more or less 28 days long and starts on the first day of a period. Though, a cycle may range anywhere from 23 to 35 days. Each month, the reproductive system prepares for the fertilization of a woman's eggs and the development of a fetus. The process is conducted by hormones, mainly by estrogen, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).Basically, the menstrual cycle have four phases. Menstruation or having your period is the first phase. Each month the uterus prepares for an embryo by thickening its lining with tissue and blood. When an egg is released without being fertilized, then the uterus will shed this lining through the small opening of the cervix and passes out of the body through the vagina. The menstrual flow is a mixture made up of blood, mucus, and body cells. The flow might be red or quite dark, and may include some clumps or clots. Periods normally last about three to five days. The second phase is called pre-ovulation phase. This happens after a period ends. At this time the ovaries start to prepare another egg, or ovum, for release in the fallopian tubes. Ovulation is the third phase, where the egg is released from the ovary into the fallopian tubes. If the egg becomes fertilized by a sperm cell, it attaches to the uterine wall and a fetus will begin to develop. The ovulation phase typically occurs 14 days before the start of the next period. The fourth and final phase is the premenstrual phase. If the egg is not fertilized, the thickened lining of the uterus is shed and a new menstrual cycle starts all over again. A period may vary every month and differs from one woman to another. It can either be light, moderate, or heavy. Although most menstrual periods last from three to five days, anywhere from two to seven days is still considered normal. However during the first few years after having menstruation, periods may be very irregular. Women stop having their periods when they reached menopause, usually around the age of 50. Menopause refers to the stage when a woman is no longer ovulating or producing eggs. As a result she can no longer become pregnant. Like menstruation, menopause also varies from woman to woman and may even take some years to occur.
Women and Hot Flashes
You suddenly feel a burning feeling on the face and the upper body, probably with a lightning-fast heartbeat, nausea, vertigo, headache and other irritating symptoms. You are experiencing what is commonly known as a "hot flash." What infernal reason is behind this? Hot flashes are a woman's biological process caused by the hormonal dictates of menopause. Principally that is, but it can also be brought about by particular medications and the styles/manner of living. Technically, menopause is a biological operation and not a deficiency state in estrogen. It happens at age fifty on the average. Specifically though, a lowered level of estrogen directly impacts on the hypothalamus. The latter is that part of one's body that controls sleep cycles, sex hormones and temperature. The lowering of estrogen disconcerts the hypothalamus - and what it reads is "too hot." The brain reacts by announcing an all-out order to the heart, nervous system and the blood vessels: "eliminate that heat." End result is that the heart beats quicker, blood vessels dilate and the sweat glands excrete. The unfortunate consequences would be: the body cools down when factors dictate that it should not, thus, one is soaking wet in the middle of a sales presentation. Not only is it highly uncomfortable, it is embarrassing. This is in fact normal; 85% of women in the US have this as they come near menopause. Twenty to fifty percent continue to have them for a longer period of time. Thus, intensity decreases over time. There are significant differences in terms of onset, frequency, duration and the nature of these flashes. It may last for just a few minutes but it could take more than an hour for one to completely normalize. The most ordinary time of onset is from 6 to 8 a.m. and also between 6 to 10 p.m.Do not despair, if one can really make a conscientious effort of avoiding the triggers, it would be a significant victory. It would be a major first step in winning at least a battle. Hot flash is triggered by the following: alcohol, caffeine, diet pills, spicy food, hot food, hot tubs, smoking, hot weather and still some others. Here are some survival tips: dress in layers and avoid turtleneck shirts. Where possible, lower the thermostat, get a larger bed if you and your partner are on different heat modes but still want to be close to each other, take a shower before crashing, arrive at meetings and functions early so that you can take a pick of your seat, and try tylenol. Regarding the treatment of hot flashes, Chinese medicine has a well-respected reputation. The Chinese have descriptions for all kinds. They involve: acupuncture and herbology. The latter means that different kinds of herbs are mixed to make a particular tea suited to alleviate one's specific symptoms. One of Mayo clinic's doctors, Dr. Loprinzi, has studied that antidepressants also play an important role in treatment. Low-dose may assist in delaying a hot flash. Effexor (venlafaxine) can cut down the frequency of hot flashes by about half, this in close to sixty percent of women with breast cancer.
