The old folk songs say it:
Oh, love is handsome, love is fine
Love is a jewel when it is new;
But when love's old, it waxes cold
And fades away, like morning dew.
Folk wisdom says it: If newlyweds put a penny in a jar for every time they make love in the first year, and take one out for every time after that, the jar will never be empty.
Just like sex, masturbating gets old when you do the same routine over and over.
Even if you're a masturbation pro, there are still ways to spruce up your technique. Like having sex, there are many ways to masturbate and adding new things to your usual menu of choices is a great way to keep things exciting. Here are some tips, in Honor of National Masturbation Month.
All renewal comes from within. You can find yourself a million miles away from home, and if your renewal hasn't begun within, you'll find yourself stepping into the same old actions and feeling the same old feelings you felt before.
How exactly do you feel? Are you tired of life, bored, depressed? What bothers you about yourself or any situation you are encountering? Why does it bother you? What would make your situation, your circumstances, YOU better? Be as honest with yourself as possible when you answer these questions.
How many of us have used food to pacify feelings of loneliness and boredom. Now's the time to stop.
Several years ago I found myself standing in my food pantry scanning the shelves, intently looking for something. I’d had a good lunch and I was not at all hungry. What was I doing there then? For some reason that particular pantry raid stuck with me. I started thinking about what I was doing to myself with food and asking why was I doing it?
Taking a break in a relationship has become the easy way out of an inevitable break up.
What the heck does “We are taking a break in our relationship” really mean? So many people are doing it today & how do they get away with it? It is the same as having your cake & eating it too ~ you may as well cut off a big piece & spoon feed it to them!
In the case of your marriage, curiosity may just save the cat!
Today's post will explore avoiding boredom, which can set in when we have the same old routines, same old conversations, the same old avoidance of hot topics and generally start taking each others presence for granted. Boredom opens the door to several giant killers of relationship. It can lead to affairs, and it can also throw us right over into the opposite ditch of contempt, as we begin to think we know everything about our spouse and stop actually listening to them.
Don't let the winter months take a toll on your relationship.
Leave the boredom of the winter months behind with these fun and romantic tips.
January and February don't have the happiest reputations, as far as months go. The short days and cold nights, the post-holiday hangover, the fact that summer is such a long time away... This can all take a toll on your relationship if you're not careful. The good news: There are many fun, easy ways to inject some fun into your relationship in the winter and keep from getting bored.
Don't let January be the reason you break up or get divorced.
According to a recent study, January is the most depressing month of the year. In fact, a study of 1,000 couples in Britain found that in January, couples fight for more than eight minutes a day and have 20 arguments during the month, compared to about 15 fights in the other months.
Foolproof ways to add some excitement to you and your husband's sex life.
You're probably not going to say it, so I will: After awhile sex with the same partner can get a little, well, OLD. I know, I know, it sounds mean, but I don't mean it that way. It's just that once you're with the same person for longer than a couple years, sex can get a little, well, BORING.
Our relationship has fallen into a rut and now he calls me Ethel! Am I that boring?!
Who is Ethel? Ethel is me and I am Ethel, at least that’s what I’m told. Spank refers to me as Ethel because he has a “boring” wife. When I think of myself I don’t usually equate boring to me. Heck, I think I’m a pretty fun person and kind of funny too. Spank, on the other hand, has these unrealistic expectations of married life. Here’s how...
