What does sex mean to you?

Do you have a limited sexual repetoire with your partner?  Are you squemish about trying new things with your loved one?  Do you feel sexually bored?  You’re not the only one.  Apparently, one in three Americans over-report the frequency in which they have sex. 

This is a tough topic because so MANY magazines, tv shows, books, videos, experts, etc. give us so many versions of what sex means.  But what does sex mean to you?  I tend to think that sex is really about the meaning we give it.  It can be erotic, sweet, fun, passionate, deeply loving or intense.  Any sex act can make you feel liberated, free and open or shamed, dirty or embarrassed depending on the meaning it has to you. 

So think again when your partner asks you to try something sexually and notice your initial reaction.  If you haven’t already, maybe you should ask yourself some questions like what does each sex act (intercourse, anal sex, oral sex ) mean to me?  What would it mean for me to try it? How did I come to that meaning?  How do I know if I really don’t like something or if I’m just afraid to try something new? Are their ways I deny myself pleasure because of beliefs other people have imposed on me?  Would I be defined by the sexual act or is that a judgment I have?

Talk about your concerns with your partner in order to reduce shame so you can grow into your sexual potential.  Being very clear about what sex means to you is the first step to having great sex and communicating it to your partner is the next step.  These two step help to create a deeper connection, intimacy and great sex.

Rapid Ejaculation and Other Sexual Concerns

Did you know that rapid ejaculation is the most common sexual problem men have?  This was determined by a recent study in the "Journal of the American Medical Association."  According to medical journalist and author, Michael Castleman, this is partially due to men getting their sex education from pornography.  Pornography portrays and emphasizes genital contact as the main sexual event.  Genitals are certainly an important part of sex, but great sex includes ALL parts of the body.

One of the perscriptions for curing rapid ejaculation is to slow down and take the focus off the penis.  When men relax by connecting to themselves, the arteries that carry blood into the penis can relax.  This is essentially what Viagra does, it relaxes those arteries.   So, before you take a pill, you might want to breath, slow down, experience your partner’s body, and all of the sensations in your body first.

In his new book, "Great Sex" (A Hetrosexual Man’s Guide to Confident Lovemaking), Michael Castleman addresses many important sexual questions men have.  For example, he talks about desire differences in long-term relationships and how to negotiate them, impotency after prostrate cancer, erectile dysfunction in single males, penis size, medication and more.
