You’ve done crunches until your abs are black and blue. You’ve researched all her secret erogenous zones and even committed yourself to spending more than 30 seconds on foreplay.

But as most women will admit, you can be a sexual Minotaur in bed – chances are it’ll leave her feeling emotionally empty, and only half satisfied, if there’s no romance or effort involved from you. Romantic feelings act as the supporting girders of a relationship and prevent it toppling.

The firmer the structure of love, the better you’ll feel about each other and the greater the incentive to stay together. Best of all, romance is also what keeps you working at *** if it doesn’t go well at first. The idea in being romantic is to make a woman believe that, at a specific point in time, only she matters. To help you with this, we’ve put together a fail safe guide for the ultimate romantic evening.

Before she Arrives set the Scene

Nerves can make you overlook a house in utter disarray. Inspect the whole place (especially the bathroom) for dirt, soiled clothing and Polaroids of ex-girlfriends. Small touches like new soap and fresh towels will go a long way.

Buff the Bed

Buy 100% cotton sheets. You’ll pay more, but they’ll feel better than blended fabric. Select neutral colors; white, beige, or cream. Look for a thread count of at least 200.

Ignite the Lighting

Candlelight’s a no-brainer. For the bedroom, go dim for a warm glow. Buy some 15 to 25 watt bulbs. If she’s self conscious about her body, fit a desk lamp with a low wattage soft light bulb, then tilt the shade away from your partner so the light reflects off a nearby wall. This is known as ‘bouncing’ and will complement her curves while hiding her flaws.

Music, your weapon of Mass Seduction

Music can have subliminal effects. Slow ‘heartbeat’ music makes our heart rate slow, muscles relax and loosen our posture, causing our skin to conduct more heat. Music also helps us let go of the distracting thoughts of the day. Play music continuously in the background.

Get Ready

Shave

Got a grizzly Adams beard and you’ve run out of shaving cream? Use a few drops of olive oil. In a panicked pinched, even hair conditioner will do.

Trim

Take care of any errant hairs in your ears, nose and eyebrows.

Use a Roll-on

A spray deodorant tends to be a more heavily scented and you don’t want it battling with your cologne. Next, apply light fragrance sprays to pulse points – neck, wrists, and the insides of elbows (the heat there makes it stronger).

Disguise a Bald Spot

After showering, blow dry your hair in the opposite direction from the way you typically part it. This adds lift to the hairs underneath. When dry, comb it back over its original shape. This will help your do look a little fuller. And stay away from helicopters.

Camouflage any Weight Gain

Avoid bold patterned clothes and look for subtle designs and textures, wear flat front pants; don pinstripes, coordinate tops and bottoms that are similar in color (like a dark shirt and dark pants). And dump the crew neck shirts and jumpers in favor of slimming V-necks.

Don’t be Tight

She’d rather see you in a grass skirt than family-jewel-crushing jeans. If you can’t easily slide your wallet out of your back pocket, your jeans are far too ‘form fitting’, so rather opt for trousers.

Scott Patterson asked:


Have you ever noticed how a group of women will start talk about *** after a few drinks?

Well if you haven’t, then you should be aware…

If you pay close attention, you’ll realize that women will always brag (or complain) about the *** partners in their lives.

So let this be a warning…

If you’re not ‘rocking her world’ then your poor sexual techniques could be the next topic of conversation.

Scary thought, right?

The good news is there are a few simple ways to adapt your technique and become the best *** part she’s ever had. Now the best place to start is the positions you choose to use during ***.

If you can identify a few things you might be doing wrong, and learn to make adjustments, you’ll instantly become a great sexual partner. Here are 4 mistakes you could be making and how to fix them:

Sex Position Mistake #1- Going hard and fast

A lot of guys think going fast and hard during *** is the best way to please a woman. Because of the influence from pornography, some men think hard *** is the answer for a great *** session.

While sometimes fast-paced *** is fun, you should still take time and pay attention to her needs. So don’t try to imitate your favorite **** movie. You’ll only end up looking like an idiot.

Sex Position Mistake #2- Using the same old position

Okay, we all have that trusted position we love.

But I have to tell you, if you’re always doing the same thing over and over, things will become boring really quickly.

Instead of reverting to the same position, try varying things. *** is the time for fun, so don’t be afraid to experiment and try new things out.

Sex Position Mistake #3- Getting too fancy

While the Kama Sutra is a fun book to read, you shouldn’t try to implement every position listed in this manual. In my opinion, this book isn’t the best place to learn about lovemaking. *** isn’t about trying to bend you partner in every conceivable position.

To become a great lover, you don’t have to try anything fancy or use 1001 *** positions. All you have to do is stick to the quality positions and focus on pleasing her.

Sex Position Mistake #4- Letting her do all the work

One of the best positions is when a woman is on top. While this is a great time to let her control the pacing and action, you shouldn’t use it as opportunity to “take a break”. Laying there like a dead fish will do nothing for her needs.

So if you want to maximize this position, you can stimulate her erogenous areas and run your hands over her body. She’ll love being on top if you’re working to please her at the same time.

Sex Position Mistake #5- Being afraid of controlling things

Many men view *** with nervousness and fear. So if you’re one of those guys who approaches *** with trepidation, she’ll be quickly turned-off.

For instance, if you’re always worrying about her pleasure during *** or asking “is this good?”, you’ll be viewed as a weak person. And if you act like a wuss in the bedroom, you’ll lose a lot of respect from her.

The one truth about life is men are attracted to women who act like women. Conversely women are strongly drawn to men who act like MEN. So if you’re a weak person in the bedroom, she’ll start to treat like this.

In order to become an incredible *** partner, you have to quickly identify and fix the mistakes you’re making in the bedroom. When know how to please a woman, you’ll become the guy the kind of man a woman will brag about.

I asked this question recently, and for unknown reasons, the question was removed. Anyway, it seemed to me like the actor playing Obama was Brian Stokes Mitchell, but I couldn’t be for sure. It was a segment in which he and an actress portraying Hillary Clinton answered questions being asked by Mr. Leno.

Mario Churchill asked:


Every woman is unique, and it’s essential that men understand this basic truth before they can expect any of their seduction routines to succeed. If you want to hit a home run tonight, make sure that you’re using the right seduction style on the right woman.

Types of Seduction Styles: What Do They Find Attractive about You?

All women respond differently to each seduction style. What seems **** for someone could be a turn-off for another. The success of a seduction ploy also almost completely rests on the woman’s decision: no matter how good-looking you are, if looks aren’t important to them then you’re placed in same boat with the rest of the male population. It’s therefore important to know what THEY think is attractive about you and NOT what you think makes you attractive to them.

Physical Attraction – Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on which side of the fence you’re standing on, most women – whether they admit to or not – allow themselves to be seduced simply because of physical attraction and no more and no less than that. This means that if they don’t find you gorgeous, you’re instantly out of the running.

Physical attraction encompasses a number of things, depending on a woman’s fancy. Besides obvious factors such as being handsome and muscular, a woman might be also after tall guys, or men with dark complexion, a **** foreign accent, ash blond hair, or violet eyes.

Money Talks – A woman isn’t necessarily a gold digger just because she only allows herself to be seduced by rich men. Sometimes, a woman could be simply practical, toughened by the challenges of life. Still, do be careful when using money to win a woman to bed because you just never know what you’re going to get!

It’s Not What You Have but It’s How You Use It – We need not spell the obvious. In the old days, women might have been motivated and interested purely in the disparity of sizes, but now that women are smarter, they know that it’s truly skills that matter most in the bedroom. If you have a sizzling reputation as a bed partner, trust us when we say that women might find themselves automatically falling for your seduction trap just because they’ve heard you were good in bed.

The Boy-Next-Door – A lot of women on the other hand dig the boy-next-door type a lot. If you have the sweet cherubic look of a gentleman, you could seize the advantage by using your looks to get what you want. When a man appears infinitely harmless, most women usually allow their anti-jerk-shields to go down. This makes them more vulnerable to usual so strike while the iron’s hot! It’s more likely that they wouldn’t even realize they’re being expertly seduced!

Charm without Salesman Suave – The right quantity of charm to use on a woman is a balance that most men find difficult to achieve. It’s very easy to overdo it after all then ending up like a glib-talking con artist out for no good. If you wish to charm yourself into a woman’s bed, just remember that charm is all about making both of you feel good about yourselves and with each other.

Keep in mind that it’s very possible a woman might be looking for a combination or all of those in a man. If that’s your case, too bad, but there’s nothing you can do about it. If a man’s will lies supreme in the real world, inside the bedroom, it’s what women want that counts!

Daniel Topp asked:


When most of us think of basic meditation, often we think of stress management, cardiac health, creative insight, and more. I promote it every chance I get. It is the best way I know to connect not only to our bodies, but to our minds and higher selves.

But meditation is also a great way to improve your sleep and enhance your dreams.

Did you know that anxiety, depression and pain stick with you while you sleep? You bet - they can be visible in the patterns of brainwaves, eye movements and muscle tone recorded in laboratories and sleep clinics. Their presence dulls the natural cycles, or architecture of our sleep.

Not surprisingly, when we carry extra stress, when we’re down in the dumps, or when we have aches and pains our sleep is far from optimal. Our REM (dream) density and deep sleep is lessened when we are anxious, sad or sedentary. We end up feeling unrested, and not quite right. We feed a negative cycle.

So how do we break it? How do we turn it around and feel truly rejuvenated physically, mentally and spiritually? Well, of course, one great way is through meditation!

During meditation you clear your mind. Essentially, you focus on “nothingness” and you simply “be”. This is easier said than done at first, but you get better and better at it the more you do it. Eventually the feeling of this becomes second nature. You get very good at recognizing when you need to take a minute to stop what you’re doing (physically or with your thoughts) and clear your head again to get back to that feeling.

With a clear mind you don’t have a bunch of mental congestion. Your body can “get through to you” better. You recognize when you need to calm it and lower your blood pressure, physically exercise or simply stop your thoughts and worries and just let go. You allow a state of rejuvenation where your body can glow naturally.

And our most potent, natural rejuvenator is sleep - without a doubt. Generally speaking, we restore ourselves physically during deep sleep and mentally during REM. A meditator with a peaceful body and mind can let go of the day at will and drift into blissful sleep at the drop of a hat. And a peaceful body and mind enter naturally into optimal sleep rhythms so your body can do its thing cellularly and hormonally resulting in a balanced and radiating You!

Pretty great, huh? Well guess what? We can take it to even higher levels. Once your mind is cleared of chatter, worries and stressors, you then have an excellent opportunity to hold your focus on an intention, ideal, or something you DO want to fill your mind with. This may be something specific like new life patterns or behaviors, or something abstract like Love, Peace or Joy. You are only limited by your imagination.

Meditation is easy and effective. When you wake up in the morning, take a few minutes to clearly intend a perfect day, a perfect presentation, or a heart full of Lovingkindness. You’ll be surprised at how big of difference this makes in your life. As you are falling asleep, hold a clear intention of being restored fully and waking refreshed. Repeat your intention as many times as you like. Or repeat affirmations that tonight you will experience certain wonderful dreams, or even lucid dreams!

Lucid dreams are dreams in which you are aware you are dreaming while you are dreaming. This is easily a whole separate topic, but as it pertains to this one, fully lucid dreams can deliver absolute freedom, and a connection to something more. In lucid dreams, you can go anywhere with anyone anytime! About any person who has had this experience will report it as transcendent. Many report it as deeply spiritual, feeling wholly connected to higher aspects of themselves and the universe. Upon waking they cherish the experience and feel - yes - rejuvenated in every way!

I hope by reading this you get a sense of how powerful simple meditation can be. When applied to the realms of sleep and dreams, you obtain an amazing inner resource for rejuvenation. All you have to do is “tap in”!
