A Kiss Really Does Make It Better [EXPERT]

New research proves that good intentions increase pleasure.

“Love does not obey our expectations, it obeys our intentions.” The ancient Chinese and Greeks debated it, and now modern science is attempting to prove it. The road is smoother when paved with good intentions. Food tastes better, boo-boos hurt less and pleasure is heightened when we know someone cares. In other words, you have to mean it.

Why We Kiss At Midnight On New Year's Eve

A look at the history of the New Year's Eve kiss.

New Year’s Eve is the last hurrah of the year, the culminating event in a holiday binge of eating, drinking, and celebrating. It’s a time to don glitzy outfits, reflect on the past, and ponder future resolutions. And then there’s the kiss at the stroke of midnight. Whether you ring in the new year by watching the Times Square ball drop on TV or toasting champagne at an upscale nightclub, tradition makes a case for celebrating the new year with people you enjoy. According to English and German folklore, the first person you encounter in a new year — and the nature of your encounter — sets the tone for the rest of the year. A kiss is about strengthening ties you wish to maintain in the future. If a couple celebrating together doesn’t take the time to lock lips, it doesn’t bode well for the relationship.

What Men Really Think About You in the Club

What Men Really Think About You in the Club

Men will consider sleeping with the trashy looking girl, but will never bring her home to mama.

Men and women usually go to the club for vastly different reasons. Men go to the club to find women, find women, and to find women. Women go to the club to sometimes find a man, but also to enjoy themselves by dancing and drinking the night away with friends. Men are reactionary creatures. If you want to know what we think about you at the club, all you need to do is evaluate one thing: Your activity at the club. Men read what women give us to read. It’s as simple as that.

Can You Receive Touch without Giving?

Can You Receive Touch without Giving?

Can you soak and revel in a kiss?

We are all familiar with alternate giving when it involves foot rubs, massage and oral honoring of a partner. But, who ruled that we always have to each be kissing each other at the same time? My intimate partner and I choose to incorporate alternate kissing into our tantric play. Imagine your lover gently, slowly, sweetly kissing your heart, neck, face and mouth while you just soak in the sensation and love energy of the moment. Can you be with the exquisite sensations and just be still?

How To Meet Mr. Right [EXPERT]

What you need to know to snag the right guy for you.

Finding the perfect man for you can be arduous and sometimes can make you feel like your emotions are on a roller coaster ride — especially if you are not sure what you want the perfect man to be like. Many women do not bother to find their perfect man and get into any random relationship only to face regrets later. Therefore, you must not say yes to the first man who shows an interest in you, but rather, you should wait for a realistic love interest to step in your life.
