Close But No Cigar


Tonight is the night. You've resisted your current McSteamy for as long as you can. The physical tension between you two is about to burst at the seams. In your mind you've played this very night over and over again. You invite him in. Your room is already doused in your most sensual fragrance. Candles are lit and on this very special occasion...your panties and bra are a perfect lacy-match. You know something extraordinary is going down tonight...hell, just his kiss is damn-near orgasmic! The way he moves and caresses you, there’s no doubt in your mind that your new beau is a maverick in the bedroom. The countdown begins; 5...shoes come off...4 ...belt and pants hit the floor...3...shirts and undies follow...2...he's suited-n-booted....1...LAUNCH OFF!

Wait a minute...Houston, we have a problem. Seems like your McSteamy was nothing but hot air! A total disappointment. Not only was your love marathon more like a stroll around the corner, but you two had about as much chemistry as a 5th grade English class. How could this have happened? And what do you do now??? Is the relationship over? But you really like this guy! Help!!

Dr. Trina Read, who has obtained a doctorate in human sexuality, notes that even though men say they want the truth, being blatantly honest about their "short-comings" in the bedroom can be devastating to their fragile male egos. Ironically, she also states the key to repairing and improving a sub-par sex life with your man is, you guessed it, open and honest communication. But how do you do that without striking a deadly blow to his manhood?

Enters Dr. Brian Parker, sexologist and the creator of two sexual intimacy board games "Embrace" and "Pillow Talk". Dr. Parker suggests it’s all about the timing and delivery. There's nothing more men like than to have their egos stroked every now and then. Dr. Brian says keep doing it. "Research shows that men and women respond better to positive reinforcement, so make sure that you compliment your man when he does something that feels good," states Dr. Parker. "Then, casually slip in what you’d actually like him to do to you."

It's a proven fact that women who use phrases like "instead of" rather than "I don’t like it when…" have successfully helped their man’s sexual performance. Dr. Parker suggest using the tried and true, "I Statement". For instance, try saying "I love it when you (insert something dirty here)," or "how about you (insert something even dirtier here)". Stay clear from negative reinforcement by using “You Statements” such as, “You never do (insert desired act)” or “You suck at….”.

So Lovers, there you have it! Add a little instructive/constructive pillow talk to your sexual regime and your love machine will be running in top-notch form before you know it. And remember, especially all the men out there with delicate egos, when you can’t express your sexual concerns openly, you lose out sexually. And ladies, while his ego might be momentarily scarred, even he will thank you when he learns what you really want. It’s like I always say people….Alls Fair In Love!

Today's Love Note: I'm A Big Girl Now

So its needless to say that times have changed as far as what is acceptable behavior for women in relationships and sex. Thirty years ago if you were living in the same house with a man that's not your husband, noses would be turned up at you...now it is quite the opposite. But even with this change in society, I find women still having the need to justify their actions in the bedroom. You know what I'm talking about. The ol' "Hell, I'm grown" excuse so many of us use to justify something "risque" we just did. But what does that even mean?? If sleeping with someone on the first date was slutty to you when you were 16 why is it different at 25? If it was dangerous to get in bed with someone you barely knew in high school, what makes it safer now that you have a career? Is being "grown" a true validation for some of our sexual acquisitions or just an excuse to give into our desires without feeling like a rebellious teenager?

What do you think Loves?

New Addition: The Love Note

Hello To All My Lovely Followers!

Okay first let me start with a heart-felt apology for my absence recently. I have been out of town for nearly this entire month with no access to a computer!! Yes, pure torture! The whole time I was thinking of you all and my mind was filled with new discussion topics. Unfortunately, I couldn't upload full post from my phone. So I came up with an idea to start doing Love Notes twice a week. A Love Note is a simple question, thought, idea, etc, designed to get feedback from, guess who, you guys! This way we can keep the Girl Talk going even when...I'm on the GO!

Oh and don't forget, I want to talk about what you want to hear! So e-mail me your love, sex, and/or relationship questions or issues and I'll post what the experts have to say on the matter. It can be completely anonymous...your secret is safe with me;) Send them to AllsFairNLove@gmail.com!
