by Sophia Marcel0807-reasons-sex

…however there are exceptions to this rule. If you happen to be one of the lucky ones to has found the perfect sex partner, I congratulate you.  But if you can take it or leave it when it come to sex then you are not doing something right.

You will never know what great sex is unless you speak up.  If you want your sexual desires fulfilled you must let your partner know.

Talking about sex however, is possibly one of the more difficult conversations in life. Did you realize that for many people, it’s easier to talk about sex with friends than it is with your sexual partner? Why is that?

If you truly want your sexual relationship to be all that it could be, communication is the key to great sex. Pillow talk is important at all stages of a relationship if you want to keep it fresh and alive.

I guarantee you will see life from a different perspective. For starters you will be in a much better mood.

Your Sex Drive Before, During and After Menopause

by Sophia Marcel

Many women find that going through menopause does not impact their sex life. Some may even find it exciting being that they no longer have to be concerned about having a period. But unfortunately for many the physiological effects of menopause do impact their enjoyment of sex.

During this time your hormones are giving you quite a ride, not only are you experiencing hot flashes that occur at any given time causing you discomfort and making you irritable, but there are also the night sweats. The last thing you want is someone bothering you wanting to have sex.

While the male sex drescher-mask-sized2ive is easy to define — and relatively easy to restore — that’s often not the case for women. The man gets a prescription for Viagra and he’s ready to rock and roll. If you are not ready to jump in and dance along, there could be real problems.

It is important to understand that these effects can be treated, but it takes some attention to health, hormones and mental attitude to continue to evolve sexually through menopause and beyond.

Sex therapists report the reality of the use-it-or-lose-it factor: regular sex, either with a partner, through masturbation, or a combination of the two definitely helps keep vaginal tissues more supple and moist, which is a problem due to low estrogen levels that cause vaginal dryness.

You already know the ancient Indian practice of Yoga promotes greater flexibility, better muscle tone, a surefire way to release stress, ease pain, and maybe even enlightenment. But better sex? Really? You betcha.

Whether heating up your sex life is the main goal of your yoga practice or just a happy side effect, chalk this information up as yet another great reason to roll out the mat. Here are the major ways it works.

by Lisbeth Endrretirement_mexico_bajae

I’ve often heard older people say “if they knew they were going to live so long, they’d of taken better care of themselves”.  You can’t get back what’s done, but you can make the best of what’s left.

Life expectancy in this country has been rising steeply since 1990, and the National Center for Heath Statistics concludes that the older you are today, the greater the age you are likely to reach. Men and women who made it to age 75 in 2010 can expect to still be around in 2020 and 2021, respectively. At age 85, the odds are good that you’ll reach 91. There was big news recently that if you were born in 2000, you would live to be 100. Read More »
