Love and Responsibility
As Valentine’s Day is coming, Thai teenagers are looking forward to celebrating this sweet occasion. However, adults and related authorities have recently expressed their deepest concerns over premature sexual engagement,epidemics caused by unprotected sex, undesirable pregnancy and teens’ inappropriate behaviors.
Although Buddhists are Thailand’s majority population, Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular festivals that is widely celebrated by numerous lovers, especially youngsters. (more…)
Sex And Love Addiction Are the Same
Sex addiction and love addiction: Are they the same thing or entirely different? Depends on who you ask. Those who recognize both as legitimate process addictions , similar to compulsive gambling or shopping, (and we can have a discussion about the nature of addiction another time) tend to put the two at odds: sex addiction versus love addiction. Love addicts are emotionally fragile victims (usually female), forever clutching at the ankles of love avoidant (male) sex addicts, those lying, manipulative jerks. This predator/victim paradigm is neat, clean and easy to digest … and it misses the entire pathology of the addiction. (more…)
Why is the Female Orgasm so Difficult to Catch
Nearly every week I receive an email from at least one woman asking me what she needs to do to have an orgasm during intercourse, or worrying that something may be wrong with her because she can’t. Yet I rarely, if ever, receive the same question from men.
The simple fact is that the male orgasm typically comes easily during sex and female orgasms do not. The late Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey, famous for interviewing thousands about their sex lives, declared that 75% of men ejaculate within two minutes of penetration in over half of their sexual encounters. (more…)
Bad Sexual Chemistry Is a Relationship Dealbreaker
Many women (and some men, too) fall in love and think they can “fix” the person they’re with. He may have bad hair, she may smoke, he could snore at night or wear the wrong clothing. Most of these problems can be dealt with, but there some that cannot and sexual chemistry is the biggest.
A recent letter to The Daily Mail relationship expert asks this very question: Can a relationship survive when you have everything in place but the good sex? The answer, sadly, is a resounding no. If the sex is bad, the relationship must end.
Oh I know. I can hear the groaning from here. But the answer holds firm. Try as you might to believe otherwise, sexual chemistry is an absolute deal-breaker in a relationship. It may seem shallow, but it really isn’t. (more…)
Is Sex Addiction Real in Your Dreams
After surrendering their vibrators and porno DVDs, the stars of VH1′s “Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew” have chain-smoked their way through three long, sexless weeks of treatment. The motley crew of pseudo-celebrities — including a porn star, a beauty queen and an obscure rock musician — have stripped their emotions bare in nationally broadcast group therapy, tearfully sharing stories of past abuse, anonymous sex, hours upon hours of smut surfing and, above all else, consuming shame. But here’s a question that the show, which ended its first season Sunday night, never bothered to ask: Are these people really addicts?
Since the term was coined in 1983, “sex addiction” has become so embroidered in our self-help vocabulary that most of us stopped questioning it. The term gets bandied about whenever Bill Clinton logs extracurricular time with an intern or Eliot Spitzer gets caught having sex in his socks or David Duchovny separates from his wife. (more…)
The Worst Reasons to Have Sexual Intercourse
Let’s be real, girls. For women, sex is almost always more than just a physical craving. It could be a reflection of our state of mind at the time, the quality of our current relationship or the way we feel about our bodies on a particular day. Clearly, there’s more than hormones raging out of control here. Beautiful, tender love-making also entices and influences our emotions.
So when you are in the mood for sex, do you ever think about why you truly want it? Is it because:
• You are in love and want to express it physically?
• You are so turned on in the moment, and a heady desire overwhelms you? (more…)
Sex is the Best Way to Boost Happiness
Making love boosts happiness more than anything else, a new research has found. The “Mappiness” project, which was run by researcher George MacKerron in conjunction with the London School of Economics, asked more than 45,000 Apple smart users to record their activity, location and happiness up to five times a day via a special application.
They received more than three million responses over more than a year and the results were fed into a so-called hedonimeter that tracked the nation`s mood minute by minute. The researchers found that Christmas Day was the happiest day of the year and people were the most content at 1.50 pm on 25th December.
They also found that there was a spike in Britain`s happiness on the day of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge`s wedding on 29th April, but people were at their lowest ebb on 31st January, at 8 pm. (more…)
