Did you know that women can have several different types of orgasms? That’s right. Of course, it’s no surprise that the “holy grail” of all the female orgasms is achieved with the G-spot.

One of the biggest complaints from men and women about their spouses is how much they have changed since they were first dating. We tend to put our best foot forward during the courting ritual, doing our utmost to impress our dates. We try to be polite, courteous, caring, giving, sensitive, well groomed and well mannered. Then we get married (or engaged or move in together) and revert back to our old, self-centered, slovenly tendencies. If you feel that your relationship may have lost some of its "spark," ask yourself if you are acting the same way as when you ... Read More ...

I once knew a salsa instructor in Spain who was scrawny with a jacked up grill, but women flocked to him. It wasn't just the swivel hips. They stood around him, giggling to each other about how he was just so sensual. That is because he really paid attention to them. He noted a nice perfume and complimented new haircuts. When he spoke to a woman, he looked her in the eye, and he listened to what she said. He appreciated every detail that made a woman pleasing, and she appreciated him back. You don't have to be a Spanish ... Read More ...

There is a little game I play with my wife. I call it the kiss of the week. Each Sunday I designate a certain place to be the "kissing spot" and it is there that I softly plant my lips when I want to let her know I appreciate something she has done or to simply let her know that I love her. I once heard an elderly man describe the success of his 75 year blissful marriage to his wife. He attributed it to the fact that he told his wife daily that he loved her and kissed her ...

It is amazing how much thought someone will give into picking out the perfect present yet uses very little imagination on how to give it. In many ways, the presentation of a gift is just as important as the item itself. Imagine buying someone a gold ring and leaving it on the kitchen counter with a note that says "thought you might like this." Or contrast that with the gift of a ring hidden inside a rosebud that will "magically" appear as the rose blossoms in the sunlight. The next time you are giving a gift, consider presenting it in ...

Athena and I like to play all sorts of games - cards, Backgammon, Chinese Checkers and even Chess. Staying home and playing games is a relaxing and inexpensive date night for us. Chess particularly can be a "serious" sort of game. There is a whole lot more strategy and thought with that game. Sometimes chess should be more fun. To combat the all too serious attitude about chess I came up with a great way to bring a bit of levity to the game. I created little tags to put on the bottom of chess pieces. The tags were basically ... Read More ...

Can you think of a better time than to show extra attention to your sweetheart than when he (or she) is sick? One item that is guaranteed to lift anyone's spirits is a get-well basket.

You can use practically anything for a *basket*; A decorative bowl, a watering can, a candy dish or any item you can find or buy to put the items in. If you want to go a ... Read More ...

When people take trips to other countries, they typically bring back some items that will remind them of their visit. One of our most romantic possessions comes from such a trip. When Athena and I were traveling in Guatemala a few years ago we spent a couple hours in the local crafts market. We aren't much into "things" that simply gather dust on a bookshelf. If we ever buy items on our trips, it is usually something that is more practical in nature, not just something to stare at. There is was, a brightly colored, hand woven hammock. It was ...

While that might sound unloving to your children, it actually gives them a great deal of comfort and stability knowing that their parents are very much in love with each other. The following are tips sent in by readers. Be sure to let your ... Read More ...
