Flirtation, Seduction And Initiation

In episode #074 of the podcast we explored how to be romantic while still being true to yourself. We examined the four elements of authentic romance so you can discover how to activate the power of romance all year long, going beyond red roses and champagne.

To continue our 3 part series leading up to the lover’s holiday of Valentine’s Day, this week we are exploring Flirtation, Seduction & Initiation.

  • Flirting is all about expressing attraction and creating the spark of desire. Flirting is part of what makes dating so much fun, but tends to get lost in long term relationships. In this episode, we talk about why flirting is so important to maintain in a long term relationship and give you strategies to start flirting with your partner again.
  • Seduction is the art of inviting your partner into an erotic experience. Many people don’t feel very seductive, but we give you strategies to seduce and fearlessly initiate intimacy.
  • Initiation can be scary, because it makes you vulnerable and puts you at risk of rejection. But if you want to have a great love life, you have to learn how to fearlessly initiate intimacy. Listen in to discover how!

Flirting, Seducing and Initiating are essential skills for having a great love life over the years. Listen in to this week’s episode and challenge yourself to amp up these forces in your relationship, and we promise you’ll love the results!

Peak Erotic Experiences: What Your Best Sex Ever Reveals

SMSOSImage073How do you know what you authentically desire? Dr. Jack Morin, author of The Erotic Mind, suggests that we use our own Peak Erotic Experiences, our sexual “highlight reel” to look for clues about who we are as erotic beings. He has found that what worked best for you in the past is very likely to work again in the future. This simple but powerful tool puts you in control of naming what turns you on most authentically.

In this exercise, we invite you to use memories of your Peak Erotic Experiences to create a map of the elements of what makes sex hot and memorable for you specifically.

This is a quick interactive experiment that will help you reveal the landscape of your authentic desires. We recommend repeating this exercise at least once a year, and anytime you feel stuck or unsure of what you are craving from your lover.

Map Your Peak Erotic Experiences

1. Spend some time and scan through your erotic history. Then pick one or two Peak Erotic Experiences – these are the moments when sex was the hottest, most satisfying, most fulfilling for you. Allow yourself to focus on those “off the charts” memories – even if they were with an ex, even if they were a long time ago.

2. Remember these experiences in vivid detail. Recall the situation that led up to the encounter, the environment, the mood, the smells. What were you wearing? What language did your lover use? What happened? The more vivid your memory, the more effective your map will be to creating more sex like this in the future.

3. Pick 3 qualities that you want to experience more of. Write them down. Then, you can share with your lover or not, your choice. What is important now is to actively create the conditions that will allow more fulfilling sex in the future. By naming what worked for you in the past, you are poised to recreate those turn-ons in the future.

“Now you are ready to begin examining your peak erotic experiences. Think of them using two seemingly mismatched metaphors. Peak turn-ons are precious jewels. To fully appreciate their glittering facets, it is necessary to gaze at them from different angles. Yet peak experiences are also onionlike. As each layer is peeled away you uncover additional information not visible on the surface” – Dr. Jack Morin, The Erotic Mind

Low Sex Drive In Men? What To Do!

Low Sex Drive In Men? What To Do!Many men experience low libido at one point in their life. They often don’t speak up about their low sex drive out of shame, and end up feeling isolated.

Low libido? Sex drive problems? Be sure to tune in to our Rethinking Libido podcast mini series!

In this episode, we answer a call-in question about low sex drive in men and what to do about it.

We cover:

  • the myth that men have higher sex drives than women
  • physical and emotional reasons for lower sex drive
  • what to do with mismatched libido in your relationship
  • the crucial difference between spontaneous desire and responsive desire
  • how to bridge the gap between libidos so both partner’s needs are met

The Marriage and Family Health Center reports that “In half the couples who come to the Marriage and Family Health Center for sexual desire problems, the man is the low desire partner.” (Myths of Sexless Marriages)

The myth of gendered libido keeps a lot of men silent about their low libido. The truth is, men and women both can experience high and low libidos. It varies person by person but also in different stages in life, health and social circumstances.

The essential thing is to communicate clearly with your partner about both of your sex drives, and figure out what kind of sex life will make both of you happy and satisfied. A combination of masturbation, fantasy and partnered sex can be negotiated to work for just about any combination of libidos!
