Why Intimacy Makes Us Feel Vulnerable

“Intimacy, by its very nature, requires us to be vulnerable. Our partner, lover, or mate can know us to our very core, sometimes better than we know ourselves, and that can make any of us feel totally exposed.” via Why Intimacy Makes Us Feel Vulnerable.

Luscious Kisses, Sex, and 4 Secrets to Lifelong Love

“In a world captivated by 50 Shades of Grey: Why ‘Mommy Porn’ is Hot, ABC News, maybe it is time to remember that loving kisses are a powerful turn-on — not just a 10 second kiss but a 30 second lip lock that includes running your fingers through each other’s hair or rubbing his bald head which many young men today are sporting. And if he is not a good kisser, teach him how and move on to satisfying sex!

And if you have forgotten the flavor of a really good kiss think back to a time when someone stole a kiss from you and it made you blush.” Full story at: Luscious Kisses, Sex, and 4 Secrets to Lifelong Love | Psychology Today.

Women’s Top 4 Wishes and Why Men Should Grant Them

“Since venturing into the world of Men’s Top 4 Wishes and Why You Should Grant Them, I have been talking to women about their relationship wishes.  And it seems we are in a pie in the sky world. But who says that women shouldn’t be reaching for the stars?

In my own research through the years, I have found that women are a faithful group, as confirmed by talks with W. Bradford Wilcox, Ph.D., a sociologist and director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia. He says that just 14 percent of ever-married women reported an extramarital affair over their lifetime as compared to 22 percent of men.” Go to the source to get the wishes: Women’s Top 4 Wishes and Why Men Should Grant Them | Psychology Today.

Men’s Top 4 Wishes and Why You Should Grant Them

 

“What do men really want in a relationship and should women be catering to their needs?  The answer is a bit complicated and it appears to differ with age. For those under the age of 40, sex ranked first. For the over 40s cuddling and kissing took the top spot.  Archives of Sexual Behavior. Ever since the Kinsey Institute report this summer regarding relationship fulfillment, I have been curious about men’s wishes.

While it appears that men and women have different desires, in fact many have similar wishes that simply become confused in translation.

One reason for this says Mark Gungor, in his Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage® seminars is that men and women have different brains.  The male brain is compartmentalized, whereas women’s brains are a mass of connected circuits that remember “everything!”

In the world of relationships, we know that women want love, commitment, and romance—but what do men really want? After reading through a manuscript from the Beltway Bachelor—and reminding him that no woman could live up to his 160 page ideal—I asked, “What do men really want?”

He replied, “Let me give it some thought.”” Go to the source: Men’s Top 4 Wishes and Why You Should Grant Them | Psychology Today.

One day at a time…

“It’s easy to look at all the tasks and unsolved problems and feel so pressured that we get paralyzed and don’t get any­thing done. It takes discipline to gather in our scattered forces and focus on one thing, one day, one step, and some­times one hour—even when taking only that one step can seem so trivial in the face of all that looms.

Would you rather try to do everything at once and get nothing done, or take one small step and do that well? Remember, one plus one equals two.

Inventory Focus: Are you creating unnecessary fear and drama by taking on more than you can handle? Are you willing to trade in the I’m-out-of-control-and-overwhelmed feeling for a sense of manageability? Do you have any history with deliberately living life one day or one step at a time? How did that work? Plans, goals, and dreams are good, but the only way to get there is one day at a time.” via May 12.

ASK For What You Want!

“Some people fold after making one timid request. They quit too soon. Keep asking until you find the answers. There are usually four or five “no’s” before you get a “yes.”” Jack Canfield via Today’s Quotes: ASK For What You Want!.

Painting Reality

“When Dutch street artist Iepe Rubingh, along with an anonymous crew, decided to ditch the blank white canvas (or a public wall) and opt for “reality” canvas instead, they managed to turn a grey plaza in Berlin into a colorful work of art that turned everyone into accidental artists.

500 liters of environmentally friendly, water-based paint in bright solid shades were strategically spilled onto the city’s Rosenthaler Plaza by the guerrilla troop, from buckets secured to their railway bicycles.

The wheels of vehicles and cyclists then “effortlessly” spread the colors along the intersection, creating a vibrant landscape in downtown Berlin.” via TGIF! Painting Reality – A Colorful Video | FinerMinds.
