5 Easy Sex Moves For Hot Results

It happens to everyone: sex becomes routine or passionless. It doesn’t have to be that way! In fact, it’s easy to get that tingle back if you try easy ideas to generate new excitement.

1. Sex 911. That’s right, you can declare a “sexual emergency.” Text your partner and tell them that you’re burning for sex ASAP and only they can put out the fire. Send one text that says, “Something’s burning!” The next: “It’s me!” The next: “Put out the fire ASAP!” Humor can be a fun way to initiate sex. It doesn’t hurt to tease your partner if you keep it light.

2. Use a little display of affection in public. Whisper something naughty in your partner’s ear at the grocery store checkout line. Fondle them while you’re trapped in a traffic jam. Put your hand on their thigh during dinner with friends. Don’t go overboard or you may anger your partner.

3. Create a new role. If you are normally aggressive in bed, play a shy know-nothing that needs to be taught how to respond to your partner’s sexual advances. If you’re normally a little inhibited, turn yourself into your favorite sexually confident movie or TV star for the evening.

4. Put a little light on the subject. If you normally keep the lights off during sex, for goodness’ sake, turn them on! Looking at your partner’s body and letting your body be seen during sex is a big turn-on. If you feel bad about your body, either learn to accept yourself as-is, leave yourself covered up a little big (put a sheet over those dimpled thighs), or do something about it, like eating better or exercising.

5. Now watch. Keep your eyes open during sex. Watch your partner’s face as they respond to your moves. Watch your own body as your partner touches you. You’ll not only enjoy sex more, but you’ll feel closer to one another if you look into each other’s eyes during sex.

See? Good sex is much easier than you think!

Can A Female Libido Patch Increase Sex Drive?

If you ask most women what bothers them the most, they will most likely tell you that their lack of a sex drive is a real problem. Modern times make it harder for women to forget about the day's responsibilities and unwind enough to want to have sex every night. What's more, since a woman's climax is more dependent on her mental state, she will find it harder at the end of a long, tiring day to have an orgasm. There have been many studies done in recent years to try to curb this issue and there might finally be a solution.

The newly created female libido patch has been proven to increase the sex drive of many women.

The patch can be worn much like the birth control patch and is just as concealable. What the patch does is introduces hormones into the woman's bloodstream that are known to increase sexual desires and the ability to climax. Unlike many other cremes and gels that have been created specifically for women, this libido patch works in the same way that

Viagra works for men. It puts women in the mood and can be worn all the time so that she can decide when the time is right. With cremes and gels, you have to act quickly or they wear out. Such is not the case with this new patch.

Women everywhere are finding that if they have more of a desire to begin with, they tend to enjoy sex with their partner more. When a love-life is satisfying couples generally stay together and are happier in the long run. One of the biggest reasons why relationships fail is because the couple does not have a satisfying sex life. Usually one partner has a stronger sex drive than the other and ends up becoming embittered and frustrated because of that. The libido patch will give women a greater sex drive and therefore make sex more satisfying for them.

Studies show that men have a stronger sex drive than women. Given this fact, it is odd that there are more medicines available for men that increase their sex drive. It seems that, given the facts, there should be more medicines for women to help them have as strong of a sex drive as their male counterparts. The introduction of this patch to the market may finally allow women to begin enjoying their sex lives as much as men seem to.

Many women are giving the patch a try and are thoroughly enjoying the results they are getting with few, if any, side-effects. Women deserve to desire sex as much as men and this patch may make that possible. So, if your relationship has been boring or your sex drive has been low, this may be the product for you. It's worth a try since most relationships fail or flourish depending on the amount of sex that two people have. Don't allow your relationship to fail. Do something about it and do something for yourself.

Sex During Pregnancy: Is It Safe?

When a pregnant woman is dealing with nausea, vomiting and fatigue, morning sickness, and weight gain, it seems that the last thing that she would think about is sex. There are

many women who are active when they are pregnant. But they think that engaging in a sexual activity might be bad for the baby’s health. Is it really safe to have sex when you are pregnant?

Whether this would bring good news or not, having sex during pregnancy is safe for women who have uncomplicated and low-risk pregnancies.
Normal Pregnancy Allows for Sexual Activity

If you are not sure that you are fit for such an activity, consult a doctor or a midwife. The sexual desires of a woman tend to fluctuate when she is pregnant, but the activity can become awkward and uncomfortable since the body shape of a woman changes considerably.

Always remember that staying intimate doesn’t meant hat you have to engage in sex. Closeness and pleasure can be provided by kissing, touching, cuddling, and manual stimulation.

These activities are low risk, and they could not add up to the problems of your pregnancy..

You just have to make sure that your pregnancy is healthy and fit.

Some Risks and Tips

You should also know that a pregnant woman who engages in sex is not a hundred percent safe. There are risks that are associated with the activity, and here are some things to consider:

1) Never engage in practices where your partner blows in the birth canal. It can cause blockage of the blood vessel, which is potentially fatal for the baby and for the mother as well.

2) Never have sex with a partner if you do not know his sexual and health history. This is a risk factor for sexually transmitted diseases and infections, which is very serious on the baby’s part. You are not only putting your life at risk but also the life of the unborn child.

3) Don’t engage in sex if the doctor doesn’t allow you to. This might end up in early labor, potential miscarriage, bleeding, cramping, amniotic fluid leaking from birth canal, cervix problems, and a condition called placenta previa.

4) You might also consider engaging in different sex positions while you are having sex. The traditional man-on-top and spooning position is very uncomfortable for a pregnant woman. It is also important to know that a pregnant woman should not lie flat on her back because the uterus might compress the major blood vessels. This can cause pelvic pressure, intense pain, dizziness, and other uncomfortable and dangerous situations.

Having sex while you are pregnant does not have a direct effect on the baby because it is fully protected by the amniotic sac and the strong muscles of the uterus. Aside from these, there’s a thick mucus plug that seals the cervix and helps guard the baby against infection. It is good to know that the penis does not come into contact with the fetus during sex.

Sacred Sex

There is nothing cheap or dirty about sex. It is the attitude towards sex that makes it egrading,sinful , dirty or beautiful and precious. It fulfills the function of procreation, it could also be a means to commit the most heinous crime.
It is important not only to be aware of our sexuality, we need to acknowledge its importance as a factor for a balanced life. It is the fire that keeps the flames of romance aglow, the strong fiber that keeps a relationship together against all odds, it is refreshing, it is healing.
Respect for sex add meaning to our human existence and relationships.
We treat with reverence those things we hold dear to our hearts.Activities that we enjoy leaves us with that sense of accomplishment, of satisfaction, and makes us feel good.

Music is considered the language of the soul. Who does not enjoy music? It is one of the great pleasures mankind has discovered. There are as many tunes ,songs and music as there are performers ,composers and song writers.

Sex is an integral part of human existence.The expression of sex has many faces, strikes many chords, creates a variety of tempo, of harmony or dis-harmony. Who does not admire beautiful and awesome surroundings; seek and welcome serenity and tranquility, away from the frenzy of the world. Yes, expression and wholesome atmosphere create and inspire the moment for the ultimate experience of Sacred Sex.
We do not subscribe to the same type of music, but generally, there must be something in the music that stirs the soul; a melody that promotes a certain mood, a tune that softens or excites the psyche. Listening to music is soothing, it is inspiring, it quietens a cluttered mind.

There is no human activity that can compare to sex that can elevate the soul, the human spirit to ecstasy, out of the physical realm into a world only the two physical bodies can experience.No, it is the "quickie", not the one in the backseat, or any isolated dim spot that is available at the moment.

If you've been to a concert, a recital , attended a symphony, you do not just "run"into these events. Sex is like attending one of these events- to fully enjoy it, you set aside the time , the resources needed , you plan the when and the how will naturally follow. It is not an event you attend to everyday. It is a special occasion that you look forward to with anticipation. Of course,spontaneity adds pizzazz.

Why not a sacred time for sacred sex? Anyone who is interested to learn more about the "How to", the resources are limitless- read up on Tantric Sex, get a copy of the Kama Sutra. But, no matter how much information you read on sex, if the attitude to elevate it to something sacred is not there, it would be difficult to experience the bliss, the ecstasy and the sense of fulfillment only sacred sex can offer. Expression is a very personal matter, so is the experience.

There is music, and there is music. Some people enjoy the singer who belts out the words, in constant gyration or movement. They see the singer, do they hear the song? There are others who are quite content with the blues, or country tempo, some go for ballads, but, there is always room for the appreciation of the music of the great masters, do not mistake it for the elevator music..Many of the great music have "popular hits" versions that appeal to most.Take Beethoven's Fifth, Chopin's Nocturne in B Flat ( To Love Again), Mozart's Eich Nacht Music ( Twinlke, Twinkle Little Star)

Sacred sex is like attending a symphony- the orchestra and all its sections play their part- the percussion, the wind instruments, the strings, the woodwind, the drums and cymbals and other sections that I miss. What does these have to do with sex? When elevated to the highest form that it can be, every single part of the human body can be tuned in like the sections of the orchestra, to produce that haunting, enjoyable , uplifting and satisfying music.

Listen to some good music, it's not all one beat, one, chord, one tone. Observe the adagio, enjoy the cantabile, the sweetness of the dolce, then get exhilarated as the orchestra progresses to forte, fortissimo, con anima, then.. it starts to slow down, go into ritartando, some endings maybe real soft or bombastic, but always passionate. Notice that after each performance of the symphony, are seconds of quiet, when you hear not a sound, until the maestro takes his bow.

Two souls are able to reach out into the depths of each other's being during moments of intimacy. It is difficult to interpret most work of art, and feel the passion of the artist, understand what was on his mind while creating his work. But music is different. The performer has the freedom to express the inner stirrings within the soul, with passion that radiates through the performance, filters to the spectators, and enjoy the transformation to a different world and savor the peace
within the soul .

In sacred sex, it helps to understand the human anatomy, to fine tune all these parts, yes, from head to toe, to stir the most passionate, ecstatic and blissful act. When two souls are able to reach this state of oneness, savor it, and respect it…that is sacred sex.

Abortion in the Philippines

It’s a relief (instead of worrisome) that some Catholic Filipinos in the Philippines choose abortion where parents, government and Philippine resources can’t feed its people anymore. Spain is a case, where we copy Catholicism – it has the highest abortion rate in Europe thus leaving Spain with the lowest birth rate in Europe.



The same is the situation in Italy where the Pope sits in his luxurious castle.

Philippines should strike a balance between religion and modernization. If a family can’t feed itself, they have to control having babies. Many countries can’t continue to multiply its populace without thinking of consequences. Its sad that the Philippines belongs to the category of Catholic countries who do not refuse to deviate from religious principles where effects have resulted in over population, poverty and finally civil war.

Sex Drive Boosters

Sex isn’t just something that a lot of us enjoy; it’s also something that could improve health. Yes, sex is actually good for everyone! Studies prove that having sex regularly helps increase immunity from viruses, reduces stress, and also helps protect a man’s prostate gland by emptying the fluids held there. The release of endorphins, or chemicals that improve mood and ease pain, are also triggered by sex. In short, boosting one’s sex drive does a lot of wonders to his/her partner (and to the relationship) and also effectively improves health. While menopause in women usually affects one’s sex drive and function in one way or the other, it is never a reason for healthy people to be deprived of a pleasurable sex life.

Love and pleasure will always be the same, even if the nature and intensity of the sex changes over time. In revving up a stalled sex drive, neither jumper cables nor little blue pills are required. Try out some of these tips to jump start your engine again: Regular sexual intercourse helps maintain one’s sex drive in a higher notch by increasing the production of testosterone. This hormone is very important, as it is chiefly responsible for libido in both men and women.

So, instead of watching reruns of Friends, turn off the TV, dim the lights—and have sex! Doing it more often will make you want to do it more often, too—and you’ll see that you are more capable of doing it.

Smoking is also a culprit for a lowered sex drive, although not all people are aware of this. Nicotine is a potent vasoconstrictor, and it can clog the blood vessels in the penis just as it clogs the arteries in the heart. What does this mean? Penile erection is brought about by the increased blood flow in the penis; if the blood vessels are clogged, it will be definitely harder to get it up. The medicines that you regularly take may help you in more ways than one, but some can be party poopers without your knowing it. Have a talk with your doctor and check which medicines might affect your sex drive.

Drugs that are used to treat high blood pressure, heart disease, depression and stomach problems can cause erection problems. Since these drugs are also very important to your health, ask your doctor if you could switch to other brands, or change the dose and timing of your medication. A word to women: do Kegel’s exercises. No, it’s not just a post-partum exercise. Although this is usually recommended to women after pregnancy, or because of a problem with leaking urine, this is also great for strengthening the pubococcygeus muscle. No, don't bother with the spelling and pronunciation—it’s just a muscle which is very important for orgasm.

To do Kegels, identify the muscle you’re using to stop urinating. Practice contracting the muscle (as if you’re stopping yourself from taking a leak) and slowly release it. 20 contractions three times a day enough to keep this muscle in optimum condition. for men: consider natural supplements, such as gingko biloba. This wondrous herb promotes increased blood flow, getting more blood to the brain and even to the penis. You may want to check with your doctor first, but if you decide to take it on your own, simply follow the instructions on the bottle carefully. Spend as much time with each other as you can afford.

Don't hesitate to reach out and touch, or kiss and hug your partner. Just by increasing physical contact, you are acknowledging your partner’s presence. Often, couples take each other’s presence for granted, and this results to decreased sex. Most importantly, say exactly what you’re thinking—tell your spouse what pleases you, and where you want to be touched. don’t hold back with compliments. If it was very good for you, tell him/her so.

What's Needed Before Meaningful, Memorable Sex Can Happen?

Keep this in mind...
It takes energy to make meaningful love.
It takes energy to have the kind of sex that's memorable.

There are plenty of people and things in life that DRAIN energy.

"Drained" people have lousy sex – if they even have sex at all.

Do you want to make love to your woman?

Do you want your woman to make love to you?

Then you've got to be the kind of man who does and says the things that INCREASE YOUR WOMAN'S ENERGY.

When you're the kind of man who ENERGIZES his woman, that sexual part of her comes to life and begins to seek expression.

As you interact with your woman throughout the day, ask yourself questions like these:

* "What can I do that will energize her?"
* "Will what I'm about to say energize her?"
* "Will what I'm about to do energize her?"

You'll get the right answers.

And, it's all in the interactions and their effects...

The things that happen when you part ways in the morning and reunite in the evening can energize or drain.

The things you do during meal times can energize or drain.

The things you do together and separate can energize or drain.

Even things as mundane as what you watch on TV or the movies you watch can energize or drain your woman.

And, be man enough to NOT let her mentally dwell on things that drain HER energy.

Even more so, be man enough to NOT let her say or do things that drain YOUR energy.

Now, meaningful, memorable sex can happen

How To Fix A Loss Of Libido Naturally

Libido is a word most understand in its most basic of definition. That is, loss of libido refers to the loss of one's sexual desire. Granted, while this is the most basic definition of the term, there is a bit more to the libido than mere desire as desire refers to a want or need to do something. However, the libido defines far more than that about an individual.

In a way, the libido can also define who the individual is. After all, the sexual desires of the individual will go a long way towards profiling the personality of the person.In many instances, the individual will also need a strong libido in order to be a fully realized human being. This is why a loss of libido can be cause for alarm. For some, when the sex drive declines, an overall decline in the individual's health and mental state can soon follow.

Some may look at this assessment and think it is a little overstated. After all, how much harm can a loss of sex drive truly cause someone? Well it drive may not cause physical
harm and it is doubtful to cause enough depression that the individual will be unable to properly care for him/herself. But, it is possible that a loss of libido can lead to lethargy, depression, and other unhealthy mental states that will have negative consequences on how the person lives his/her life.

As a result, it is important for those dealing with a loss of sexual desire to seek a remedy for their problem. If they do not, they may find themselves in a position when their loss of sexual desire can cause a slow erosion in their overall quality of life.

The most common ways to reverse a loss of libido are not very convenient or even all that desirable. Some will enter into counseling or therapy. Others will take pharmaceutical grade psychiatric drugs. While some will claim great benefits from these methods, it is safe to say they may not be necessary. There are some common herbal treatments for a loss of sex drive and those that have taken these herbal supplements will attest to their great benefit and value.

There are natural herbal supplements that can help both men and women with increasing their sex drive. Many of these herbal ingredients have been around for thousands of years, but they have only become popular in the western world in recent memory.Gingko Balboa, Saw Palmetto, and Siberian Ginseng are among these herbal ingredients and they are all natural and always effective. (These are only three of the herbal ingredients used in supplement products. Most supplements are stacked with a variety of herbs which yield a significant reaction on the sex drive.) That is why their use is becoming more and more popular.

When you take supplements that are stacked with these and many other natural ingredients, the benefits reveal themselves almost immediately. As such, they remain highly recommended for those looking to deal with problems of the loss of libido.

Teen Pregnancy Prevention

Did you know that, in the US, 1 in 5 girls become pregnant before the age of 20? Teen pregnancy is a huge issue facing American youth. Research shows that preaching abstinence does not work, yet many parents fear that by providing sex education to their children – through discussions of birth control, STDs, sex, and masturbation – that they are condoning sex. This is simply not true!
Studies also reveal that children whose parents openly discuss sex delay intercourse at rates similar to those teens being told to be abstinent. Additionally, when parents talk to their teenage sons and daughters about sex and safe sex choices before they have sex for the first time, the teens are much more likely to use contraception during their first sexual experience. The lesson Mom and Dads – your words do matter, so talk to your kids!

What are Birth Control Pills?

The Pill (oral contraceptives) is the most popular type of birth control. There are many different brands and they come in packs of 21 or 28 pills. One pill is taken every day. The first 21 pills have a combination of synthetic estrogen and progesterone hormones. The Pill stops ovulation, preventing the ovaries from releasing eggs. The Pill also thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to enter the uterus. The hormones in the Pill prevent fertilization. The last 7 pills of a 28-day pack have no hormones and are called spacer pills. The Pill is 92-99.7% effective as birth control. It does not protect against

reproductive tract infections, including HIV/AIDS.

Use
When started within 6 days of the start of a period or within 6 days after an abortion, The Pill is effective immediately. If the Pill is started at other times, it will be effective after one month. To lower the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, condoms can be used while taking The Pill.

Starting The Pill:

There are several ways to begin taking The Pill. One common way is to start on the first day of your period or the first day after an abortion. Some women prefer to start on the first Sunday after they begin their period or the first Sunday after an abortion.

Continuing:

Take one pill every day until you finish an entire pack. Try to link taking The Pill with a regular activity that you do at the same time every day, like eating a meal or brushing your teeth. If you have a 28-day pack, start a new pack immediately after you finish the old one. If you have a 21-day pack, take one pill every day for 21 days, no pills for 7 days, then start the new pack immediately.

Cautions

Some women may not be able to take The Pill because of the risk of serious health problems. Women who are over 35 and smoke or who have any of the following conditions should not take The Pill:

* History of heart attack or stroke
* Blood clots
* Unexplained vaginal bleeding
* Known or suspected cancer
* Known or suspected pregnancy
* Liver disease

Women who are under 35 and smoke, have migraines, gallbladder disease, hypertension, diabetes, epilepsy, sickle cell disease, elective surgery, a history of blood clots, liver or heart disease may not be able to take The Pill. Your clinician or doctor can decide.

Women who use The Pill have a higher risk of heart attack and stroke. The effects of The Pill on breast cancer are still unknown. The Pill lowers a woman's chance of developing ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and pelvic inflammatory disease.

Danger Signs

omen who experience any of the following symptoms while taking The Pill should call the clinic immediately:

• Abdominal pains (severe)
• Chest pain or shortness of breath
• Headaches (severe)
• Eye problems, such as blurred vision
• Severe leg or arm pain or numbness

Missed Pills: Late Start

The most common way women get pregnant while using The Pill is starting late.

• 1 day late starting the next package: Take 2 pills as soon as you remember and one pill each day after. Use a backup form of birth control for two weeks.
• 2 days late starting the next package: Take 2 pills per day for 2 days, then continue as usual. Use a backup form of birth control for two weeks.
• 3 or more days late starting the next package: Call the clinic for instructions.

Missed Pills: During the Cycle

• 1 pill missed: Take it as soon as you remember and take your next pill at your usual time. This may mean taking two pills in one day.
• 2 pills missed in a row in the first two weeks: Take two pills on the day you remember and two pills the next day. Finish the rest of the pack as usual. Use a backup form of birth control for one week.
• 2 pills missed in a row in the third week: Keep taking one pill every day until Sunday. On Sunday, set aside the rest of the pack, including the spacers, and start taking a new pack of pills. Use a backup form of birth control for one week.
• 3 or more pills missed in a row anytime: Keep taking one pill every day until Sunday. On Sunday, set aside the rest of the pack and start taking a new pack of pills. Use a backup form of birth control for two weeks.

Missing any of the last 7 pills of a 28-day package will not raise your risk of pregnancy. Skip the pills you missed, but be sure you start your next pack on time.

Missed Periods

Missing a period does not always mean that you are pregnant. If you do miss a period, think about how likely a pregnancy is. Also consider the risks related to continuing birth control pills. Pregnancy is more likely:

• in the first few months of Pill use
• if you missed taking any Pills
• if you are taking another medication (especially antibiotics)
• if you have been sick (vomiting and/or diarrhea)

If you forgot one or more pills and do not have a period that month, we recommend that you have a sensitive pregnancy test done at a clinic.

If you miss two periods in a row, it could either be normal or a sign of pregnancy. Pregnancy tests are recommended right away. If you become pregnant while on The Pill, there is probably no risk of birth defects.

Birth Control

Birth control, sometimes synonymous with contraception, is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of pregnancy or childbirth.[citation needed] "Contraception" may refer specifically to mechanisms that are intended to reduce the likelihood of a sperm cell fertilizing the egg. Birth control is commonly used as part of family planning.


The history of birth control began with the discovery of the connection between coitus and pregnancy. The oldest forms of birth control included coitus interruptus, pessaries, and the ingestion of herbs that were believed to be contraceptive or abortifacient. The earliest record of birth control use is an ancient Egyptian set of instructions on creating a contraceptive pessary.
