New Year's Sexual Resolution #1: Try Something New (almost) Everyday

Sunday January 1, 2006

If you're already making a mental list of New Year's resolutions about your health, your finances, and how you're going to deal with family stress differently next holiday season, why not put sexuality on the list. Often overlooked and undervalued as a "luxury", our sexuality isn't just something that happens 1.4 times a week under the covers, its part of who we are. Make some New Year's sexual resolutions, and set a different sexual tone for 2006.

What's a new year's sexual resolution list without something salacious? After you've worked on your inner self, make sure to spend plenty of time satisfying, and encouraging, your sexual curiosity.

Buy a vibrator, start a phone sex relationship with your partner, write some smutty love letters, rent some porn, take a sex workshop, read a how-to book, stretch yourself in whatever ways you are resisting. You may find some, or even all of the new things you try are boring and unsatisfying, but what's important is the journey, not the final destination. This isn't about following the latest trend, or keeping up with the Joneses, the key is to find what's new for you, and to experiment with things that you're interested in but are shy of trying. I'm constantly amazed at how many people feel as if their sex lives are what they are, and can't be changed. If this is you, make a new year's resolution to do something about it in 2006.

(2) Help for Sarah says:

Your guy likes anal and spanking because he a healthy normal male.

It could be due to numerous reasons but the end result is that he likes it.

You may like it too, you never know til you try it.

I know why he loves spanking because I like it too. It’s just a part of ones sexual make-up. My wife does not like it and probably never will. She likes doing it to me though, but I steer well clear of an domination or punishment as that can be unhealthy.
