Tips to keep your body beautiful

Eat immediately after exercise

Researchers at the University of North Texas have found that people who eat foods rich in protein and carbohydrates immediately after exercise are able to work 55% more at their next meeting.

Swim

Swimming is easy to practice and one of the most comprehensive sports. It does little risk of injury has very few contraindications. Let’s jump into the pool! In addition, contact with water is very relaxing.

Oasis trends

Togging up in fashionable clothing in which you feel comfortable has a positive effect on one’s training and is one more reason not to quit.

Pedal

Cycling is convenient for travel and allows us to limit the use of our cars. One bright spot for the planet and for our legs.

Qigong

Several centers offer courses of qigong, which means the training of vital energy. Ranked among the martial arts and gymnastics, such energy comes from traditional Chinese medicine. The combination of movements helps develop concentration, and reduces high blood pressure and rate of heartbeat. Great for reducing stress levels, this technique is also the basis of tai chi.

Breathe

According to kinesiology, learning to breathe properly is crucial and to be in top shape. It is therefore important to train one’s muscles during deep-breathing exercises. Breathing deeply during exercise can also allow you to do more.

Salsa

The best way to do physical activity is by having fun. Why not dance the salsa, the dance of the South, summer and sensuality. Websites can help you find salsa classes in your area.

Tone, trampoline and trapeze

You can also try the trampoline, which combines cardio, strength training, flexibility and agility. The sport improves coordination and strengthens the muscle tone of the legs, back and stomach. It works muscles rarely used on a daily basis. In practice, alternate with the trapeze to increase tone.

One step at a time

There is no point starting off one’s training too intense; one needs to move along gradually to allow the body to get used to different levels. Going too fast can make one vulnerable to injury.

Venous

"Aerobics helps release the waste from our body, and the pressure of water facilitates venous return. Additionally, water provides a massaging effect on muscles," says an aerobic teacher.

X-Treme

Doing too much exercise is just as bad as not doing any at all. Avoid overly intensive training and other extremes.

YMCA

The YMCA offers an approach that supports the participant in developing a training program according to his personality. Participants fill out a questionnaire based on their lifestyle, skills, goals and motivation, and may meet with a YMCA-certified counselor to help them establish their program.

Zen

By choosing activities that reduce stress and are “Zen”, like yoga and Pilates, your body will benefit.

Five tips to beat the smoking blues

I must confess today. I was a heavy smoker for many, many years. Until one of my dearest friends died of throat cancer. He was also a heavy smoker. Although the doctors could not confirm 100% that smoking caused the cancer, they were adamant that the smoking could have played a role for getting it.

Fortunately it is now 5 years since his death that I stopped smoking. It was not easy. But eventually I succeeded. Many smokers find the rituals involved with smoking calming and satisfying, and handle cigarettes as a way to feel less self-conscious in public. This is a fallacy because that was not the reason for starting to smoke. This is now only an excuse to justify the smoking. But of course, there are many alternative things to do with your hands when you quit. Here are 5 tips:

1. Find other objects to handle - for instance, keep a pen and pad in your pocket or on your desk (pick this up instead and write down your reasons for giving up smoking, or just doodle);

2. Hold a real cigarette if the touch is all you miss - but not if handling a cigarette makes you want to light up;

3. Don’t confuse hunger with the desire to put a cigarette in your mouth - eat regular meals and keep healthy snack foods on hand;

4. Take up a hobby that keeps your hands busy, e.g. gardening or wood carving.

5. Never, but never decline invitations to parties or social gatherings due to the fact that you may be tempted to start smoking again when you see your friends smoke or inhale the smoke of cigarettes. You can and you will continue with your efforts to kick the habit!

Good luck!!

Sensual Love

Staring out the window

She wraps herself in linens

Emerging from the shadows

Her lover hungry for her taste

The haze of dusk settling

The world becomes quiet

The tides are sluggish now

The birds nestling down

Warm breezes fill the room

Scented candles illuminate

She swirls her glass of wine

No thoughts, no worries, just time

Her lover behind her now

Gentle hands upon her hips

Pulling her in to him

Lips pressed firmly on her nape

His hands descend down between her thighs

Fingertips dragging closer

She quivers at his touch

Her body so fragile and so vulnerable

His determination is unmoving

A desire to bring ecstasy

To a woman that he loves

Until exhaustion hits

They make unyielding,

Passionate and sensual love

Flirting with danger

Flirting is fun and can lead to romance, but some people get a kick out of leading others on.

You know those men who seem so fabulous when you first meet them because they so clearly get how interesting and sexy you are, right away? Sigh. We all fall for this, but here are some tips to pigeonhole the poisonous ones before you get your heart broken.

How to spot a dangerous flirt:

· He’s all over you, even before you've exchanged two words.

· His banter is sexually charged and he pays exaggerated compliments.

· He is quite touchy-feely with you from the start.

· He asks you for your number as soon as he can and may suggest that the two of you go to a late–night bar that same evening, where he will try to seduce you.

It’s exciting in the beginning, but he may convince you to do something you’ll regret later, when all you wanted was some harmless flirting.

How to flirt safely:

· Have fun! Flirt, get out there, enjoy yourself – but also control yourself. Use your flirting with tact.

· Be on guard for people who are trying to play you. Keep your eyes open and don't give too much of yourself away too soon.

· Use your flirting skills to get to know people, not as an end in themselves.

· Don’t be a toxic flirt, who’s addicted to leading people on. You’ll end up messing up other people, and yourself.

· Don’t flirt to get attention and flattery. Get your self-esteem from within yourself, not from people who don't know the real you.

· Never assume that playing games is the way to a man's heart. Don't try to make him jealous by flirting with other men, pretending you don't remember him when he calls or telling him you're busy for the next two weeks. A nice man will take these indicators as a snub and may decide not to ring you again.

Sexy tattoos for women

Sexy Tattoos for women depend on whether the designs are good enough. Whatever you do, don't spoil your body with an inferior design.

Ask most men whether tattoos on women are sexy or not and you will get a mixture of answers. It is certainly not as easy as getting a yes or no answer. In reality, you are either for tattoos or you are not. If you are, then whether or not they are sexy will depend upon a couple of important factors. First, are they appropriate for the person involved? And second, are they partly hidden and discreet leaving something for the imagination? Research done on this topic indicates that most men are more likely to be turned on by an elegant, well placed tattoo rather than an endless display of "body" art where it is hard to see any untouched skin at all. A perfect example of this is seeing someone as elegant as Angelina Jolie and the tasteful and sexy way she has gone about the process of being tattooed.

Given that, if you are going to get yourself a sexy tattoo, do your homework and find a design that suits you. We are all different and what suits one person may not suit another. The design is extremely important and there is no shortage of sexy tattoos for women out there, it is just a matter of finding that one simple elegant tattoo that will look sexy on your body and is yours and yours alone.

Most Popular Sexy Tattoos for Women

Flowers - While some consider flower tattoos to be "old hat", they seem to be making somewhat of a revival in the popularity stakes. Ideal for your first tattoo as they are the epitome of femininity and sexiness. There are any number of flower options from roses (red, white or pink) and rosebuds through to Cherry blossoms (great with an elegant Japanese tattoo), lilies and even orchids. In fact, as far as flowers are concerned, you are only limited by your imagination and what is important for you. Each flower has its own meaning which is great if you are looking for something of significance in your life.

Butterflies - As free as a butterfly! Is there a better way to remind you of those beautiful, carefree days in your life? Butterfly tattoos lend themselves to beautiful colors to match your skin type and is there anything sexier than seeing a butterfly near a beautiful gal's bikini line. Butterfly tattoos continue to be one of the most popular of all tattoos because of their beauty and grace.

Dolphins - Dolphins are amazing creatures and very much loved by everyone for their amazing free spirit. A dolphin tattoo can look extremely sexy in the right place. Once again the bikini line is great for these as too are the shoulder and ankle. Dolphins are particularly popular with those who love animals especially those who have an affinity with the sea.

Stars - These are a real favourite amongst the movie star set. Stars can be used to depict all sorts of personal beliefs such as religious, sexuality or mythological desires. In many cases they are used for their size and the colours and patterns that can be generated by using them in a series. One of the most sensual ones that were witnessed recently was a series of different colors and size stars leading through the bikini line. On the right body, this was sensationally sexy.

Tribal Designs - Traditionally, tribal designs belong in the male domain; however, with clever use of flowers (especially roses) and butterflies, these are being integrated in traditional tribal designs to make some absolutely gorgeous and sexy lower back pieces of art. This is a sensual part of the female body and an elegant design here can be a real turn on for most males. The advantage being that it can be displayed either fully, partially (sneak peeks) or hidden completely to be enjoyed by only special people.

Top Bodies deserve top designs. Do your homework and you are sure to find enough sexy tattoos for women to make your choice the right one for you.

Like Your Body

Men love a woman who loves her body. A woman who walks around feeling good about her body and knowing that her body is beautiful is incredibly sexy to a man and make him curious and eager to get to know that woman. So be sure to build your physical confidence and focus on bringing out your best features. 

Nobody is prefect- everyone has flaws, but that does not mean that you should advertise your flaws. Get to know yourself and find your strong physical points and bring them out for the world to see and admire. If there are parts of your body that you believe could use some help, then do something about rather than complain.

Go girl, go! watch yourself in the mirror and love what you see!

The Best Clothing Options for Your Body Shape

You can spend a fortune on clothes, but if they don’t complement your body shape, you’ve truly wasted your money. While every woman’s body shape is different, most women generally fall within one of the following categories:

Pear Body Shape – Your upper half is smaller than your lower half. Most pears will have a slender neck, slender shoulders, narrow back, small to average bust, a defined waist, a curvy behind and hips and full calves and thighs. When you gain weight, you tend to gain it in your thighs and hips.

Apple Body Shape – Your upper half is larger than your lower half. Most apples will have a full face and neck, full breasts, a full or undefined waist, a small or flat behind, narrow hips and shapely legs. When you gain weight, you tend to gain in your waist area or mid-section.

Hour Glass Body Shape – You are very curvy and you have a defined waist. You have a full bust, medium to broad hips and shapely legs. Your hips are in-line with your shoulders and when you gain weight, it tends to go to all the right places.

Rectangle Body Shape – You have a straight figure with slight curves. You have a balanced up and down figure with an average bust, undefined waist and great arms and legs. When you gain weight it distributes evenly all over your body.

Here are some tips and guidelines that can help you purchase the right style of clothes to match your body shape.

Clothes for Pear Shapes

If you are a pear shape, balance is what you should be looking for in clothing. You want to give the illusion of a larger bust and wider shoulders. The goal when shopping for clothes is to look for clothing that will give your lower body a slimming look while over-playing your upper body.

The best way to do this is to choose wide neck lines. You can choose square necks, round necks, draped, V-neck or scooped neck tops. Fitted tops will work well, but you can also successfully wear looser blouses and tops. Keep in mind that halter tops work really well for pear shapes because they give the appearance of wider shoulders which balances out the thighs and hips. Tops that have puffy sleeves will also give the illusion of wider shoulders. Shirts, sweaters and blouses that have a lot of detailing work well for pear shapes, as do light, bright colours and prints. In regards to colours, keep your colourful shades on top and stick with neutral, dark colours on the bottom.

Pear shapes should opt for flared or A-line skirts. You should also look for pants or jeans that are wide-legged or flared. Remember; the darker your bottom pieces are, the better. If you’re in the market for a dress, wrap dresses or dresses that have an empire waist will work the best. Avoid body hugging dresses and skirts and garments that have large pockets and/or belts.

Clothes for Apple Shapes

If you are an apple shape, elongating or lengthening your torso is the name of the game. You want to purchase clothes that will slim the waist and shoulders and you want to have attention drawn to areas such as your breasts and legs - areas away from the stomach.

The best shirts for apple shapes are V necklines and wrap tops. Both of these take the eye away from the shoulders and abdomen. Layers work well for apple shapes so consider wearing a camisole or tank top beneath a jacket. Blouses and jackets that have belts or cinched waists will help to minimise the waist area and slenderise the stomach. When shopping for jackets, look for ones that fall to mid-thigh or right below the waist. Opt for dark coloured tops and jackets.

When it comes to bottoms, skirts that fall from one to five inches above the knee work well. A-line skirts are the best, as are jeans that have a flared leg or boot-cut. Jeans and skirts that have pockets with flaps on the behind will give your behind a curvier look. The colours for your bottoms can be lighter than your tops such as light wash jeans, and colourful/patterned skirts.

Clothes for Hour-Glass Shapes

If you have an hour-glass shape, consider yourself fortunate. You can wear most anything. Your goal when shopping for clothes is to look for clothes that will accentuate your curves by drawing attention to your waist. The only things you should avoid are baggy clothes and straight jackets, skirts and straight-legged jeans. You should also avoid shirts with a lot of ruffles because they will make your bust line look out of proportion to the rest of your body. In regards to the length of skirts and dresses, stay away from overly short ones. They will make you look round.

Clothes for Rectangle Shapes

If you have a rectangle figure, know that it is considered a model’s figure. You truly do not have anything to worry about when it comes to clothes - you can wear almost anything. Your goal when shopping for clothes is to find clothing that will give the appearance of more curves. Your curves will naturally pop if you avoid vertical patterns and vertical stripes. These will make you look lanky. You should also avoid tightly fitted shirts, cropped jackets and bottoms that have a high waist-line. Stay away from straight cut jeans and slacks, too. They will only make your straight figure seem more thin and straight.

Now that you have a general idea of the types of clothes that you should be shopping for, it’s time to head to the stores!

Body Image

Body image is an important part of self-identity and self-esteem. It involves our perception, imagination, emotions, and physical sensations of and about our bodies. It is not static, but ever changing; sensitive to changes in mood, environment, and physical experience. It is not based on fact. It is psychological in nature, and much more influenced by self-esteem than by actual physical attractiveness as judged by others. It is not inborn, but learned from family members, peers and wider social and cultural standards (mass media).

In the West the message ‘thin is beautiful’ carries great power. The ideal female body is thin, tall and long legged, and there is a pervasive belief among women that you need to fit this “ideal” to be successful. The result is that women and even young girls have become very concerned about the shape and size of their bodies. It also affects men and boys, though not to the same extent. The result is that over the last few decades, there had been increasing incidences of body dissatisfaction and eating disorders.

Beauty is not just skin deep. It is a reflection of your whole self. Love and enjoy the person inside.

Let Your Sensuality Blossom with Sizzling Hot Lingerie

As women today, it’s all too easy to allow our sensuality to deteriorate. After all, we have demanding careers, children who need our love and attention, and a million chores to run and chores to do. The intimate relationships we have with our husbands or boyfriends often take a backseat to the activities that comprise our life. It does not take much, though, to rediscover our sensuality and reignite our passion – some sizzling hot lingerie will do the trick almost every time.

You do not have to be Shirley of Hollywood or memorize the Kama Sutra to add some spice to your love life. You actually just need a bit of time, some privacy, and a few sizzling hot lingerie.

Time

Nobody ever has enough time, so you need to make it a point to carve out some time for you and your husband to be together. If you don’t have children, it is relatively simple to set aside 1 night per month for “date night.” If you do have kids, well, that’s why grandparents were invented. A sleepover at grandma’s, your sister’s house, or perhaps a good friend’s house will provide you with and your mate an opportunity to have a leisurely evening, night, and morning alone. That ought to rekindle the flames!

Privacy

Privacy is key with regards to a successful date night. That means more than tucking the kids away at a relative’s house. It also means a commitment to spending the evening without interruption: an agreement to not answer the house telephone, turn off your mobile phones, and resist the temptation to sneak off to check your e-mail. If you don’t think that is feasible, consider investing the night at a local hotel. You may only be a couple of miles from home, however it will give you the psychological space to truly unwind and appreciate yourself.

Sizzling Hot Lingerie

There’s no denying that men are visual creatures, and some sexy lingerie will go a long method to rekindle the enthusiasm you share. Surprise him by “slipping into something more comfortable” and coming out in a bustier, corset, baby doll, or camisole. You never know – he may have a few ideas of his own and be wearing men’s sexy underwear, have rose petals spread on the bed, or have flavored massage oil on the nightstand.

Regularly Indulging Your Sensuality

Each and every woman knows how hard it’s to change roles at a moment’s notice. It is hard to fix dinner, get the kids bathed and put to bed, after which – snap – turn right into a seductress. Try too hard, and you will either give up or begin resenting your mate.

Among the things that make it simpler to kindle the enthusiasm that you and your husband share is to frequently indulge your sensuality. That may imply carving out some alone time to go on a stroll by yourself, to take a bubble bath, or to possess a regular manicure and pedicure. It can also mean wearing lingerie daily that makes you feel sensuous. Your co-workers don’t have to know that you’re sporting a sexy bra and panty set under your business suit, or that you’re wearing stockings and garters instead of pantyhose. Your husband does not even need to know. The essential thing is the fact that you will know, and that you will carry an awareness of your sensuality with you through the day. With time, you’ll find it much simpler to switch from mommy to lover at the end of the day. And when you do, you’ll have your sizzling hot lingerie to show off to your partner.

How to Get a Shy Man to Ask You Out

As a dating coach, one of the top questions that I get is, “How to seduce a shy man."

Well the answer is easily. Shy men are usually grateful to have you approach them. They may be in absolute love or lust with you but feel like it will never happen because they can not drum up the nerve to approach you.

Just like we sometimes think guys are out of our league, men sometimes feel the same way about us. They are afraid of being ridiculed and rejected. A shy guy may have this fear in abundance.

By approaching him, you take that pressure away. Do it slowly. Strike up a conversation the first time. Invite him for coffee the next, etc.

Try to get him to laugh at a joke. Humour is a great way to break the ice and put him at ease.

Also give him non-verbal signs that you are interested.

I will break this down in to three parts:

1) How to Flirt – You can do more flirting with your eyes than with any other technique. Look at him then look away then look back again. Or stare him right in the eyes and hold his gaze then smile real slow.

Use the quick lip lick. The hair toss. The hair curl around the finger technique.

Try this eyebrow raise that I mention in my book. Do a double to really get his attention.

We are all born with the ability to flirt. Look at any two year old and you can see it. We start flirting young then end up getting guilted out of doing it or warned against doing it because of office politics. You know how. You are simply out of practice. So that is your fun assignment for the day – practice, practice, practice.

2) When to flirt – Flirt when you are truly interested, flirt when you want the other person to feel good, flirt when you are feeling good yourself. There is no hard and fast rule about flirting.

3) When not to flirt – Don not take your level of flirting farther than you want to go. Don not flirt with someone you know really likes you if you do not share those feelings. Don not flirt with someone whose job might be at stake if taken the wrong way. Do not flirt with your best friends boyfriend.

Walk into the situation knowing that you are beautiful, desireable, funny and intelligent. You may end up being the one to ask him out.

A confident woman always looks more attractive. Do whatever it takes to achieve that confidence.

1) Take the time to fix yourself up before leaving home.

2) Put on a scent that makes you feel sexy.

3) Dress in a way that makes you feel desirable without exposing too much.

4) Plan topics of conversation ahead of time, if you like.

5) Take beauty classes or etiquette classes if you feel that will help.

6) Develop one area of yourself that you excel at and you will have a topic of conversation that you can talk passionately about. That passion will come through in the flush of your cheeks and the sparkle in your eyes.

Once he understands that you really like him, Mr. Shy guy may be ready to direct a few interesting suggestions in your direction.

Top Sensual Spots in Men and Women

Both men and women have key sensual spots on their unique and different human anatomies. Women as a rule are very open and receptive to touch at all times. Men on the other hand can want to be touched at times and not so much at other times. Sometimes with males, it can go according to the mood that they are in at the time. It all depends on the specific man in question as an individual. In addition, what he prefers in the stimulation and lovemaking department.

Some of the top sensual spots that both men and women share will be in highlight first. As they reflect the same sensual spots that, both sexes do have as a rule. There are just general sensual spots that exist on men and women and are a fact of nature that cannot be in dispute.

The skin is the largest organ in the body. It is also one of the most stimulating areas. That males and females possess.

The breasts of both males and females are one of the highly erogenous of all places that both sexes have.

The lips and or tongues of both males and females have the power to excite and seduce at the same time.

These are just a few of the shared sensual spots that both sexes have as a rule. Most males and females like to use them in foreplay and during lovemaking.

The sexual organs on both a male and a female can also be very sensual each in their own way. It does depend on the male and the female. Each couple defines their own meaning of true pleasure in their own right whenever together intimately. The genitals of both the male and female are without a doubt the most supreme of all of the sensual spots listed here. Because they are, the gateway to extreme orgasms and the private places that lovers tend to explore thoroughly while engaged in lovemaking.

Sensual spots do exist all over the bodies of both males and females. A love just needs to know what to look for and that is whatever excites his or her partner to the heights of true ecstasy and back.

How to Deal With Girls’ Insecurities

Much more than men, girls are in general insecure. They are insecure about their body: breast size, ass, weight, hair, and also, sometimes, about life itself. Girls are stronger than before, and equal to men in almost every way – but those insecurities persist.

Sometimes they are quite obvious – especially when girls are young. I’ve met dozens of girls feeling ‘sad’ that they breast were not big, and also feeling bad (and sometimes even miserable) about their weight going up. And it’s all not just limited to the body – “I’ll never find a good job”, “I’m not smart enough”, and those types of thinking are more common than you could imagine.

Ten Common Body Language Mistakes

Body language is a very powerful way of telling people when you are angry, sad, happy, silly, wanting to seduce, flirt, and more. Unfortunately, sometimes body language tells a completely wrong message, especially when it comes to flirting and seduction. If you want to meet new men or women but want to make sure you present the right message through body language.

Below, we have provided 10 common mistakes made regarding body language.

Misreading – Many times, both men and women misread another person’s body language, which means missed opportunity. It is important to pay close attention to subtleties in that each person has different ways of sending out the same message.

Immaturity and Silliness – Women love men who have great senses of humor but giving off body language that makes you look foolish is not going to cut it. You can be funny and get someone to laugh but stuffing your nose with a napkin or making a ketchup mustache is wrong. Be funny with your body but not goofy.

Free Drinks – Sometimes, men will send free drinks to a table as a means of flirting with a woman. Although a disconnected type of body language, there are better ways to get her attention. Now, offering one drink is certainly fine but continuing to buy drinks is out of line.

Eyes – You need to use your eyes to show interest. While you do not have to stare someone down, you also want to avoid taking your eyes off the listener or talker. Remember, the eyes are your audience so use this chance wisely.

Obstacles – Sometimes, people will place a chair, book, or some other item in front of them when trying to make a connection. This creates a barrier, which sends out mixed signals. Even crossing your arms or talking to someone from a distant show some disinterest. Make yourself open so the body language is positive.

Hands – You also want to keep your body position open. Again, if your hands are clasped or interlaced, you are showing nervousness and some disinterest. By unclasping your hands and keeping them open, you immediately change the way in which you are perceived.

Gestures – If a woman were sitting at a table and she uses gestures such as flipping her hair, putting on lip-gloss, or applying lotion to her hands, you would feel as if she were flirting. Even men can use various gestures such as rolling a mustache, winking, or giving a woman a gentle wave, all signs of interest.

Animation – Some animation is perfectly fine when flirting with someone. What you want to avoid is too much animation, which looks silly and too little animation that is boring. Instead of standing still, do not be afraid to shift around somewhat when talking to someone.

Posture – Standing with slouched shoulders or for a woman, legs uncrossed, you present yourself as unaware, lazy, and sloppy. Simply changing your posture to standing erect and proud or crossing your legs the right way will send off the right message that you have control and price in yourself.

Smiles – Be sure you smile, which is one of the most important types of body language you can use. Too often, people forget to show their pearly whites. Smiling makes you inviting and approachable. When flirting or trying to seduce someone, flirting with a smile will go much further than simply gazing at the person of interest.

The Act of Gentle Seduction

Men - especially married men - often do not take time to seduce their partner.

The act of gentle seduction causes her to feel sexually desirable, wanted, cherished and demonstrates genuine respect and affection. Feeling this way turns a woman on.

Take time to become deeply interested in her feelings. Spend time with her. When you do, every sexual aspect of your relationship becomes the normal course of action.

Put some excitement and thoughtfulness in setting the stage to become united:

• It can begin with a love note, an unexpected greeting card or a sexy phone call suggesting intimacy the day before.

• Read a book on seduction.

• Pay attention to the techniques of some of our greatest lovers. It was Ricardo Montalban who said that a great lover is someone who can satisfy one woman her entire life and be satisfied with one woman his entire life.

• Plan a surprise evening at home together. No TV. No phones. No kids. Get a babysitter to care for them overnight . . . at the babysitter's house!

• The key here is to plan in advance. Have an agenda. No cooking. Cater in a bite to eat. Chill her favourite wine. Watch an erotic video.

• Talk. Listen. Seduce.

• Experience each other to the fullest. Make it an evening to remember. Do whatever you need to do to prepare an evening she will always treasure, one she will talk about for years to come.

• Making love is on the agenda, and it shouldn't feel as though you are squeezing it in hurriedly between the last TV show and the first sleepy yawn. Slow down. Take your time.

• Dim the lights. Scatter lit candles around the room. They can create an atmosphere of mystery of things to come. Burn some incense. Pick music that creates a passionate mood.

• Give her no less than thirty minutes of exquisite foreplay. Do what SHE likes.

• Pleasure her in erotic ways, orally and otherwise.

• This is not a night for you; it's for her.

• Try to imagine why you think "Love Me Tender" was such a big hit!

• Express your love by making warm and passionate love on the floor in front of the fireplace. Remember to light the fire.

• Have several blankets nearby in case you fall asleep.

• It takes imagination, creative seduction and sensitivity to her every sexual need.

• The subtle action of seduction enhances lovemaking and promises more sexual satisfaction for both love partners.

• Together you will cherish those private moments only committed partners can treasure.

Look and feel sexy in clothes

If you're like many women out there, getting dressed up for work, a night out or a friendly gathering involves more than picking out a nice outfit and putting on makeup. The mental aspect can be so draining that you find yourself second guessing each selection.

But it's not even the dressing up part; it's also the way you feel in your own skin.

How many times have you compared yourself to another woman?

Maybe you're a bit taller than the average and you find yourself slouching and feeling awkward next to her. Or maybe you’re heavier set and find yourself always wrapping your arms around your waist trying to cover what you perceive to be rolls and sags? Does it feel as though everyone around you is sensing your insecurity? It might feel like the world is snickering at you as you walk by, waiting for you to trip or make some embarrassing move. The snickers and the stares from people are so overwhelming that you would sooner stay at home than be caught in the outside world.

The reality is that those snickers and stares are most likely in your head. But it's so difficult to realize this when you are so engulfed with your own low self-thoughts.

It's when you pick up your self-esteem that you realize "hey I'm really just as attractive, if not more, than the next woman."

Your Breasts are Your Assets - Learn to Take Care of Them

Taking care of your breasts is not a difficult thing to do as long as you establish a routine and abide by it on a regular basis.

Wear a Bra that Fits

The first step in taking good care of your breasts is to wear a bra that fits properly, something 95% of all women are not doing. You can find a trained professional to measure you and determine your size at nearly any department store.

Breast Examinations

Once you find the right amount of support then it’s time to focus on the health of your “girls” or as someone I love calls them, “twins.” Beginning at the age of 30 women should begin to do a monthly self-breast exam. Your ob-gyn can give you instructions and advice on how to perform one on yourself. Many women are afraid to touch themselves and it’s only when they go to the ob-gyn or have a mammogram that they learn they have breast cancer.

Breast Mammograms

At the age of 35 it’s recommended that you have your first mammogram. I had my first one last year at the age of 33 due to health concerns. I had some difficulty trying to schedule my appointment and I really had to push my way into the appointment book. I was told that 33 was too young for a mammogram and that my breasts were probably too dense for the mammogram to detect anything. Don’t let anyone stop you from having one done if you or your ob-gyn feel as though it’s necessary to have one done. It’s not much fun having your breasts squeezed between two plates but sooner or later it is something all women need to do.

Breasts come in all shapes and all sizes but what matters most is that you take care of them while you are young so you keep them for the remainder of your life.

Sensual Touch Massage

The combination of scent and touch is extremely effective in opening up intimacy between two people. That's basically how we communicate love in an effective way, a way that doesn't involve having to discuss the subject a great deal. It also works wonderfully on a basic physical level. There are a lot of nerve endings that follow along the path of the spine. As you massage, your touch brings the blood to the surface, you speed the absorption of the oils into the skin, and you also bring up the level of oxytocin, the hormone needed in high levels for the process of sexual arousal.

Massage is an especially good thing for men to focus on. Women often need the kind of attention it gives them o feel comfortable with proceeding on to more intimate activities. The nurturing, caring-for aspect of romance is extremely important between two people. You will have more interesting and intense erotic experiences if you're involved on all levels with each other. And touch and scent are the best ways of really opening some of those deeper levels.

A backrub is something that everyone can relate to positively and that's a good place to start. Using oils will make it quite a different, and far more exciting, experience.

Begin the massage with a small amount of your chosen aromatherapy oil, just a teaspoon or so. Rub the oil in the palms of your hands to warm it up before it touches your partner's skin. Cold oil poured on a back will quickly produce about twice as much tension as was there before you started!

There are certain basic message techniques designed to relieve tension, that are very effective. Tension tends to accumulate in the neck, shoulders and upper back in women, and in the lower back and buttocks in men. The really important thing is not how you do the massage. The idea is not to become an expert masseuse or masseur. This is a seduction ritual! Be creative and playful.

The Welcoming Press: With your lover lying face down, straddle him or her or kneel at their side. Gently press down on your partner's shoulders, and on either side of the spine. Do not press directly on the spin at any time during the massage. This stroke gives your partner a few moments to get used to the feeling of your hands on their skin.

The Back Warmer: Now begin to warm your lover's back. With a flat hand, fingers together, palm in contact with the skin, move the hands in parallel lines up either side of the spine, then out and across the shoulders, and down the sides of the torso.

Kneading: Working as deeply as is comfortable for your partner, use your fingers to knead the muscles of the back, starting with the neck and shoulders and working your way down. Go slowly and use additional oil as necessary.

Raking: Spread your fingers and, keeping them somewhat stiff, rake them down the back from shoulders to buttocks. This releases deep, underlying tissue tensions.

Lower Back: The lower back and sacrum (the downward-pointing triangle located between the buttocks at the end of the spine) can become congested and tender, especially in premenstrual women. Lightly massage this area with small, circular strokes on buttocks, hips and upper thighs. With a man, use lower back spirals. Starting at the top of the crack between the buttocks use your thumbs to make small spirals upwards along either side of the tailbone to the top of the sacrum, then press your thumbs along the top of the hips and move them out, across and down the side of the body to the floor. Repeat several times.

Buttocks: Try "Thumbs over the Mountain." Starting at the bottom, press your thumbs firmly into the flesh of the buttocks and follow the curve up, around, and down the side of the hips. This can be a tender and sensitive area, so use only as much pressure as your lover can comfortably tolerate. Return to the first position and move your thumbs apart slightly to describe a second curved line that is parallel to and outside the first, continuing until you have no curve left to follow. Repeat several times.

Thighs: Once you get to your lover's thighs, you may find yourself getting distracted and decide to shift your focus to other kinds of touching. Or you may want to try out some massage strokes of your own design. Or you can ask your partner to turn over and continue the massage with a few more strokes to the front of the body.

Shoulder and Chest Presses: Kneeling behind your partner, as he or she is lying face up, press down on the shoulders and hold. Ask your partner to take a deep, releasing breath, and let the essential oils work their magic as you increase the pressure of your hands slightly. At the end of the exhalation, release. Slide your hands up and over your lover's collar bone and press very gently. Have them take a deep breath as you hold, then release. Now move your hands to the centre of the chest, (between a woman's breasts) and, laying one hand on top of the other, press very gently. Have your partner take a deep breath and release.

Sexual Energy Release Points, Neck and Ears: Encourage your lover to breathe in a deep and relaxing manner as you gently massage their neck, making small circles over the release points on the upper neck and about halfway up the ears. If the massage is a prelude to lovemaking, now is a really good time to let the kissing begin. Remember, too, that a woman's breasts are highly charged with erotic energy and can create a dramatic arousal response when massaged or caressed.

Improvise! Well, you're on your own from here. Relax, improvise and be creative, you'll do just fine!

Seductive Beauty

 Seduction is Alluring

The dance between the sexes is a wonderful thing when it comes to the subject of seduction. Making ourselves alluring and attractive to the one we desire is both fun and exciting. If that wasn't the case, then there wouldn't be as much need for glamorous lingerie stores, hair dressers, rows and rows of cosmetic shelves in department stores, stores that sell sexy clothing, and hundreds of fragrances from name brand manufacturers.

It all depends on what turns on the object of your desire. Some women love a man with a full beard, whereas, others couldn't tolerate all that facial hair. Some men are switched on by a female in black, lacy lingerie and five inch heels while other men couldn't care less as they would rather have less packaging to deal with. A pair of sexy legs is appealing to a man. Women seem to prefer manly posteriors (okay, butts). It is all very subjective and based on personal preferences.

So, in order to be seductive, you will have to do your homework and know what turns on his/her switch. You will need to get to know the person to accomplish this.

Seduction is Romantic

Romance is the fine art of genuinely treating the object of your love with a sweet caringness that arouses the desire in them to want to be with you. If you want to seduce him/her, be romantic!

And most importantly, have Fun!

What is sensuality?

Look in the dictionary for a definition of sensuality, depending upon the version and maker, varying definitions exist. Ask any person to define sensuality, and still more interpretations. Sensuality in its truest form is not to be confused with SEX. Sensuality means to be aroused by things of beauty, luxury and refinement, to be aware of and explore the world, life and love with all the senses. To be sensual is to be aware of and appreciate the natural, ecstasy that can be found in the sensuous, passionate world of feeling, inhabited by poets, artists, song writers and dreamers. Being sensual brings to us a life felt through our senses, seen only in the world of spirit.

Living a sensuous life, your world is enhanced by awareness. Appreciation and acceptance for who and what you are. A passion for life and love. Sensuality is a world that virtually weaves itself in a rich tapestry of beauty, of intense arousal and passion where even the simplest touch of a finger drawn lightly across the bare skin of a lover’s back in the early morning hour causes the lover to awaken filled with a heightened awareness. In their heightened states, the colors of the world are painted in more radiant, vivid hues; eyes are deeper, skin is creamier as the sun filtering through the drapes dances off their bodies. An exquisite luxurious feeling. Joy. That exultation of spirit, pleasure, passion and delight is yours. Joy leads to ecstasy.

Keep ecstasy in our lives and lovers will go through their days filled with joy - that never ending supply of excitement of the spirit that brightens their lives and fills them with delight. Feeling and being are the sublime part of a man and brings warmth, gentleness, relatedness and perception to sensuality. It is the divine feminine nature existing in both a man and a woman. Feeling is the art of having a value structure and a sense of meaning and belonging. Feeling is the part that brings love to us. Romance in a relationship allows us to touch the soul of a lover. Romance and ecstasy mixed, allows us to touch the heart and soul.

What person doesn’t love Love? It is the essence of life. Love. Such a wonderful, essential part of our beings. Without it we would wither and die. Romance, ecstasy, passion and ultimately, love, are so powerful a human drive they have kindled wars, created works of art, consoled the dying, driven kings to insanity and bankrupted nations. Love is the most important aspect of our lives, yet we spend our lives searching for it when a simple act of vulnerability toward our feeling nature will cause it to spring forward, catching us like a bird in flight.

It is that vital, intrinsic, pulse-beating passion within us, our feeling natures, sensuality, that gives us creativity and a sense of joy. Through our feelings we experience our purpose and the special, ecstatic moments in our lives. It is through our feelings that our lives are given meaning and worth. It is our romancing one another in loving, ecstatic ways that helps us to discover that we are ALL sensual beings.

Why Is Self Worth and Body Image Important?

Self worth and body image is important because to truly get the most from self-pleasure and let’s be truthful to get the most from life you must have confidence in yourself and be comfortable in your own skin. Unfortunately for many women that isn’t the case. There are a number of factors for this.

It doesn’t help when you look in magazines and see skinny, airbrushed models wearing expensive clothes looking glamorous; the modern world seems to worship the perfect body and if you have low self esteem it is easy to believe that you are too tall, fat or unattractive

Girls, we are own worst critics picking up every small real or perceived fault with ourselves. We have all been a slave to the scale or checked the mirror more times that is healthy trying to work out why we look the way we do and if we think we are attractive enough. If we are not happy with our own body then we can’t get the most from it.

Whatever your body shape you are attractive and you are beautiful. You don’t have to be thin to be attractive! Women the first step is to be confident, appreciate your own body. Whatever you believe is true there is someone out there who finds you attractive. Beauty is not all about looks but confidence and believing in your own self-worth.

The trick lady is to recognise that your body is unique, enjoy and love it. Look at yourself and focus on the good details. People will focus on the good and not the bad. Believe in yourself and then you will see that everything else will follow.
