Who wants more fun, more love, more physical and emotional intimacy in 2014? I think we can all agree that this is a New Year’s resolution worth striving for, and we’ll explore how to achieve this over the next 2 blog postings.

I invite you to listen to a funny and provocative radio interview with me called LOVE, CONNECTION & SEXUAL INTIMACY.

All of us at one time or another have been challenged by either the awkwardness or the ecstatic pleasure from the intense power of sexual energy. Our physical energy and hormones interact and /or conflict with our emotional needs for connection and intimacy that can bring us to experience bliss. Our mind and body can be either coordinated like a magnificent orchestra producing ethereal music, or we can feel the disharmony of being disconnected emotionally with our physical needs. We might feel thwarted, or at best tested, to express our sexual energy in many other outlets of creativity. Like a constellation of stars that are aligned to manifest majestic beauty, great sex is really great connection between our body, our heart and our spirit. For some people, because of their beliefs, great sex could be entirely physical and only carnal. For others, there has to be components of spiritual connection and emotional surrender to allow the physical pleasure to be enhanced by energy that is beyond sensational.

After studying male and female sexual needs for over 40 years, it is clear to me that what one believes about sex is as important as any inherent biological differences that are based on gender. I just finished watching MASTERS OF SEX on Showtime about the groundbreaking research of William Masters, MD and Virginia Johnson in the 1960’s about the physiological changes for men and women that occur during sex. I highly recommend the 10-session series as both provocative entertainment, as well as stimulating and arousing intellectual material.

So let’s look at what can support making sex more sexy, more connected and easier for experiencing fun.

Answer this question: When you have sex do you want to have sex to connect to a profound place of love within you and share that with another person, or are you using sex to release stress/tension and just for physical pleasure?

Possibly your beliefs or life circumstances lead you to answer this question one way or the other. Or, you could say yes to both depending on the moment or partner.

In our next blog, let’s look at techniques, nutrition, herbs and food that can enhance sexual pleasure and emotional intimacy.

Ready for more moments of ecstasy in 2014?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
