When Smiles Are Present, Bring On The Sex

Few couples make the connection between a partner's low sex drive and a mood disorder such as depression. While most people know what it feels like to be down or have "the blues," depression is a serious mental illness that can interfere with a person's sexuality and relationship in all kinds of ways. Many people, however, don't know what depression looks like, and that's a problem, because if you don't know what you're faced with, you're going to have a hard time making things better.

Depression and a low sex drive go together in a couple of ways:

• Fatigue is a big part of depression, so if you frequently feel "too tired" for sex, it might be a symptom of a mood problem.
• You may not enjoy things you used to enjoy doing, and sex may be one of them.
• Although you may be hurting, your behavior may send signals that you want to be left alone, causing emotional distance between yourself and your partner.
• You feel lethargic, as if you could hardly move; since sex requires movement, it carries little appeal.
• Feeling hopeless or helpless are common in depression--and not very sexy.

Feeling depressed is not a sign of a character flaw. In our culture, we are often told to "Buck up," "Get on with life," or "Smile, it's contagious," which makes admitting that one is down very difficult. Depression happens for all kinds of reasons, but is usually connected to feelings of loss or worthlessness. Depression can also be physical, as when someone's hormones are out of balance or there is a chronic illness. Unfortunately, depression sometimes gets missed because not everyone knows its symptoms.

You might also consider that one reason you may be feeling depressed is because you aren't having enough sex. Orgasm helps the body to relax. Many brain chemicals, including serotonin, are released in the brain during orgasm. If you are in the habit of denying your sexual needs, you might be at risk for depression. If you don't have a partner available or don't feel up to partnered sex, you might try self-pleasuring in order to have sexual, physical, and emotional release from built up tension.

If you suspect that depression is getting in the way of sexual connection and pleasure, you have many options for getting better, including medication, psychotherapy, and self-help, e.g., developing a more positive outlook and a healthy routine. Please be aware that antidepressants can have sexual side effects, which you should discuss with your physician. In the meantime, you and your partner will need to learn how to stay connected even though you may feel bad. Try to tune into yourself to see what you might need, rather than denying yourself. Listen to what your partner needs, too, because feeling needed may help you feel less depressed.

Intelligence Is Sexy Just Ask A Sapiosexual

Time to start working out your mind as well as your body.  

See Her Across The Room? What to say? How do you approach her?

You see her (him) across the room, but you just don't know how to approach this gorgeous being.  What in the heck do you say?  

You would love to be the life of the party and you would love to at least be able to talk to this sexy woman/man, but you seriously lack the confidence and just don't know what to say or what to do.

Maybe you need a new technique.  The energy you put off will be picked up by those around you even if they are not aware they are feeling your energetic being.  

The energy that comes from your core essence - from your soul - is what people first feel when they meet you.

Small acts of love are actually bigger then you think

Romance Is A Two Way Street

Women when you think of romance what do you envision. Candle light dinner, walks on the beach, making love under in a dim lit room, might pop into your head. Do you think these are the things your partner is thinking about when you talk about romance. Sure he/she might like to do these things to be romantic for you but what do you feel like they would like you to do that they would see as romantic? Maybe taking them to the big game, hot steamy lingerie worn for their pleasure, or even time spent on the couch snuggling during the race with both of you yelling at your favorite driver. You have to remember your vision of romance and his are going to be different, so when you are trying to be romantic for him, cater the evening towards his tastes. Like wise you would love to be catered to when he is trying to romance you. We have to look at it through the eyes of our partner to see their vision of romance. Be bold and ask them what they feel would be romantic then store the knowledge for later down the road. Remember you are trying to make them feel wonderful not you! Your turn will come.
