How to Turn Him On

Nov
30


FYI: This article is only for mature audiences

Every day I want to ask myself this question:

“What can I do today that will remind me that my relationship with Nate is a LOVE AFFAIR?”

This daily goal is SOOOO important to me.

Why?

Because Josh and I have decided that we have one lifetime and only ONE chance at marriage.

We only have this one lifetime to get it right.

And we only have each other to work with.

I appreciate that we share this similar value. We care about being our best at whatever we do.

When I think of most of the marriages around us, it’s almost as if people are just expecting us to fail. This scares the living bejeebers out of me!

They will say innocent but telling things like, “Ah, just wait until you have kids.” Or, “We’ll check back on you guys two years after you have kids.” It’s almost like they’re telling us that when kids arrive, everything we have is going to fall apart.

One of the things that seems to go out the window when kids arrive is your sex life.

Some moms will probably read this thinking, Omg, who has the time for that? And to that I say, “It’s your sex life!” When you put yourself first in matters of sexuality, you actually send this message to your partner:

We are lovers, not just parents, not just friends, not just roommates. And this role is what makes our relationship different from all the relationships we have with others. Our sex life is important because our romantic/erotic/eros relationship is important to me.”

Remember ladies, work is not more important than your sex life. Your kid’s wants (this does not include their health and protection/security/basic needs) are not more important than your sex life. Housework is NOT more important than your sex life.

I have to remind myself of this, as the demands of the corporate world and running two blogs always want to compete with my relationships.

You are a sexual being. That’s one of the reasons you signed onto marriage.

Here’s how to indulge your inner sexpot:

1. Invest in some luxurious high thread count sheets or silk sheets. Get in the habit of showering before bed, coming to bed freshly shaven, and sleeping in the nude. If you get cold easily, invest in a good quality down comforter and duvet.

2. Invest in a signature scent and never go throughout your day without wearing it.

    It’s something he will get used to smelling and will leave a stamp in his memory even when you’re not around. Studies have shown that men love vanilla extract. I mix vanilla extract(the kind without sugar) with my Cetaphil Body Cream. In case you’re wondering, my signature scent is Issey Miyake. Spray the signature scent on your ankles, behind your knees, on your abdomen, and on your lower back before you go to bed. Why these points? So you get the scent wafting in the sheets and it won’t be overpowering for your mate. (If you put it behind your ears, on the nape of your neck or chest, it will be overpowering and also your mate will end up kissing the bitter alcohol of the cologne.


3. Buy a red light and replace the bulbs in your bedroom lamp for an evening.

    Make like a porn star and have sex in the glow of the red light. Red is the color of passion, fire and heat. Plus everyone looks sexier and more attractive in red light. Want a preview? The next time you’re stopped behind another car at night, look at yourself in your car mirror. The red brake light will give you the effect I’m talking about. If you feel self conscious having sex with the lights on, but feel bad for your guy when all the lights are off and he isn’t even getting a visual, you might really welcome the red light:) It’s a happy medium.


4. If you don’t own some comfy, sexy thongs yet, invest in some!

    Express lace thongs are my favorite. Even if you’re not a “thong” kinda girl, don’t worry. They’re coming right off anyway. They are more a gift for him than for you, but you will benefit from the gift:)

5. Send him naughty picture mail.

    Try it! Don’t be shy! I would do it at least once a week, if not more. Someone asked me what the point of this was. They were like, “Why? He sees you every day.” My response? Sex is not just about the act itself. It is the longing, the anticipation. It is the tease before the consummation. So what if he sees you every day? He doesn’t see you naked all day. If you send him naughty pictures, it will wet his appetite for more, face to face visuals. Extra points if you throw in some “sexting.” I read in Glamour magazine that the number one text guys like receiving is the innocent but suggestive, “Come play;)” So if you’re feeling shy, start with that!


6. Name his penis. Name your lady parts.

    Does this sound silly? Well, it is. But it’s also very fun to talk about them in casual private conversations. These naughty personifications will at least get you talking about sex outside of the bedroom, in a playful, fun way. It strengthens your intimate bond because by having names for these parts that seem to have minds of their own, you in fact create an inside joke, a dirty little secret. And this will make it easier to flirt and talk dirty to each other…And what’s not fun about that?!


7. Instead of nagging him next time you want him to come spend time with you instead of vegging in front of the tv, let your lips do the nagging.

    I say seduction works way better than nagging. Nibble his ear and tell him in a whisper, “Baby, guess what?” … “I’m horny…” Then proceed to walk to the bedroom and leave your trail of clothing. I’m sure he won’t be sitting on the couch for much longer!

Should Guys be Straight Forward and Obvious or Subtle When they Approach Women?

Oct
28


I think many guys have wondered and had similar misconceptions about how a woman will respond if he is forward.

Here is a reader’s question:

Correct me if I’m wrong. I always thought that being straight forward and obvious would make me look like a sex-crazed pig, which is the opposite of what I want to portray, so I’ve tried to think of a way to be subtle. Then, by being subtle, my romantic interests never actually knew I was interested in them and thought of me as a friend. I guess it was all in my head and that I just need to go for it. Do I need to build rapport with her or is it enough to walk up to an attractive woman and just say, “Hi. I’m Philip. I saw you standing/sitting here and you look so beautiful that I want to take you out to dinner.”

My response:

Be straightforward, be obvious. Yes and yes. I’ve never had the opinion “you’re a sex crazed pig” to ANY man who’s been straight forward and obvious. All I’ve thought was “Wow, he’s confident. wow, he’s brave. He finds me desirable!”

You only look like a sex crazed pig if you start with the sexual inuendo or blatantly start joking and flirting and talking about sex.

Women WANT to be desired, so the straightforward, obvious route is the way to go.

Wolfgang Puck’s Marriage Advice to Kim Kardashian and Funny Dad Stories

Oct
21

Was watching Kim’s Fairytale Wedding while on the elliptical, and there’s this scene where they are trying food for the wedding at Wolfgang Puck’s kitchen. Chris is all, “We need to get Kim some cooking lessons.” Wolfgang Pucks response? “I’ve always told newlywed brides that they need to spend more time in the bedroom than in the kitchen.” Everyone laughs :)

I agree! He really appreciates it if you’re a domestic goddess for sure… but he can always get food elsewhere.

What can’t he get elsewhere? A sex life.

You, the wife, are all he has. Your sex life can be as fulfilling and exciting as you make it, or as dull and non-existant as you allow it.

Talking about sex, this is kinda gross but I have to commend my parents. They have been married a LONG time and are still happy in the bedroom. Ehhh! Is it weird how comfortable I am talking about this?

Just read below. THIS is what I have to deal with on a regular basis.

BTW, my parents’ first language is NOT English.

Dad walks in room after work. Mom and I are in the room.

    Mom: Honey, you’re so handsome!
    Dad raises his eyebrows and smiles.
    Me: (noticing my presence is being ignored) Maybe I should leave you two alone.
    Dad: Your mom is horn-ee
    Me: Ewwww!!! You don’t even know what that is!
    Mom: What’s horn-ee? huh? huh? What’s horn-ee?
    Dad: Did I use it correctly? (smiling)
    Me: (Laughing hysterically) Just don’t say it around your coworkers!

My dad even makes my grandma feel awkward!

How to make an 85yr old woman blush:

On our way to church, my dad, who’ll do anything for a laugh, decides to get “personal” with mamagrand.(my grandma) Here’s how it went:

    Dad: Mama, sooooo tell me. How many times did Daddygrand kiss you before you got married?
    Mamagrand: aye! no! no! no keesing!
    Dad: Oh come on mama! premarital sex?
    Mamagrand: (eyes wide) NO GOOD! (shaking head rhytmically)
    Dad: Mama, come on, you don’t have to hide anything now. I’m sure you had Dee- ZIRES (teasing smile)
    Mamagrand: (matter of factly) You give those desire to the Lord. (turns away)

(even funnier when you hear it with two Filipino accents!)

My dad is such a HOOT!

After our honeymoon, the first thing my dad asked Nate was, “Son, how are your knees?!” OMG. Tmi. My poor, proper husband. He’s used to it now :)

If anything I can always thank my parents for making SOOO comfortable talking about sex. Love you guys!
