Sex & Relationships
Create more intimacy and heat up your relationship
10 Instant Love Fixes
You don't want to put off nurturing your union until you've hit a bump in the road.
"Successful couples work at their relationship every single day," says Sandor Gardos, Ph.D., founder of mypleasure.com. "They don't wait until something big happens to do damage control; they take baby steps to make sure their bond remains strong."
No need for a major overhaul – you can have better sex and a stronger connection in just a few minutes a day...
When you begin to climax, take deep breaths through your mouth instead of your nose. "It will relax your nervous system; that increases blood flow, which heightens sensation," Gardos says.

what happens if ur married for 12 years and now feel like you've fallen out of love with your husband...he doesnt "do it" for you anymore....there are no sparks left and you keep fighting all the time...you think of the kids and you want to make it work, but dont know how.
To Anonymous above,
I've also been married for 12 years, and have two kids.
What's helped us is that we've been consistently having "date" nights once a week, just for us. My husband has often had more conviction about making it happen, and it's helped to keep our friendship going. He's not great at talking, but when he does, I listen.
We also make efforts to keep our physical relationship interesting by trying new things, and being considerate to one another.
Maybe your friendship is something you can rekindle (with his help and effort too), because staying together for the sake of the kids is noble, but ultimately won't make either of you happy.
It's not too late to start over if the commitment is there from both sides.
Have you seen the movie Fireproof Your Marriage? The husband's efforts at regaining his marriage is admirable, and not easy.
Good luck.
I am SO loving these tips! My boyfriend and I have been going out for 7 years, and even though things have slowed down quite a bit, we've become closer than ever. He's my lover, as well as my best friend! I will admit, though, that there are times that we argue, and I can get pretty emotional, but we always talk it out, and see if we can reach a compromise. Our religions differ quite a lot, but we're making the relationship work.
hey, i've seen the movie fireproof and its "scary" that the relationship were almost over and the wife wanted out. but the husband made it work. but he also realised that he cannot do it without God.
I found out my husband of 18 years is flirting with another woman but quite intensively. I discovered an email which indicated that he missed her and wanted her to be with him. I confronted him and he said it was only flirting and I asked the woman involved - she apologised and said that both had overstepped the boundaries. Now what do I do? No physical act but betrayal by use of words is just as bad
I havent seen the movie but i'm so tempted to. Me and my boyfriend have been together for the past 10yrs.Its been a roller coaster ride. through the years he has become my friend ,soul mate and the father of my kids.What i can say is its not easy to keep the flame burning but the are things that you can do together as a couple that brings you closer.Children are just added blessings to the realationship. I'm still inlove with him and the way he adores his family(me and the children).
hey..i just wanto hear if a persons blood tipe affects on your sex life or orgasm?
how do you deal with a selfish man- the one who thinks of himself always, buys himself good stuff always, needs much attention than he can give?
Anonymous, try giving the guy the 2nd prize for a chance, guys often react like this seeing as the want you to confirm the masculanity and manliness. Shit, some guys will put on the Tshirt 2 sizes to small hoping you'd notice its tight around the arms. So for once, give him the second prize, compliment his style, but mention someone else's who like even more. Tell him you think he'd be great at something new but that he won't be the best.
Alternatively, we're driven by ego, if your not gonna boost it, then I will.. So give him all the attention he needs and check if its just not a phase of insecurity, otherwise, give him some cold shoulder!

I'm with my boyfriend for 5 years & when we started dating we use to spend a lot of time together & things seemed perfect...as if we're meant to be together. Now we don't spend as much time together as we use to & never talk the way we use to & we constantly argue. My boyfriend says our relationships doing just fine, but to me it's as if things have changed so much that now i'm wondering if he & i are really meant to be together...what do i do, just leave things the way they are, try to work on our relationship, or should i just take a break from the guy & see what happens?
