27 Ways to Jumpstart Your Love Life

I was checking out some of the AOL headlines this morning and this one caught my eye. It is a slideshow which is based on an article in Men’s Health.
While there were two suggestions that I totally don’t agree with (watch porn together/ check out the erotica section of the local bookstore) the other 25 were brilliant, amazing, and from my point of view anyway, pretty darn good.
Let’s face it, especially as we get older, our relationships grow and pick up baggage along the way, AND we get more complacent…well things sometimes get a little mundane. Mundane, predictable, average…These words are a death sentence to your love life.
The odd thing is that I can’t think of a man in the world that wants to be thought of that way…and I can’t think of a woman who doesn’t want to be desired, considered mysterious, sensual, and exotic. Can you imagine if one morning you woke up and looked at each other and saw each other as so compelling, so heroic, so desirable that you were absolutely besotted with each other?
Is there anyone that doesn’t ultimately want that? Guys, don’t you want your wives to see you as some bigger than life hero, ready to slay dragons, scale tall mountains, and lift heavy objects? Ladies, don’t you want your guy to see you as a combination of Aphrodite, Mata Hari, and this month’s Penthouse centerfold?
Marriage; the living together daily domestic dutes, while necessary, becomes blase if both partners choose to relax and not expend effort to keep things hot.
If one of your New Year’s Resolutions is to make your marriage sizzle, this article is a great place to start.

Brilliant piece. Men’s Health does have some gems from time to time. Don’t sub to it, however…caught the wife drooling over one of the cover-guys with the roped six-packs once. LOL.
Nahhh.,.but #2 is a no – brainer, of course; number 3 is imperative for jump-starting an engine that’s a sputtering – its also what stokes the fires in a mere friendship and push it into the sexual phase of it – big one here.
I didn’t know about #6 – so thanks a heap, there. Better than dark chocolate, it is? Work for the fellers too?
Number 9 would be very, very érotique in a low-keyed, but intense sort of way ( which is the better IMHO ) Would be one of those special rarities that you’d look back on, I’d think.
bis dann!
Black licorice, the real deal not artificial, has a phyto-testosterone in it that can create desire. You can also get the tincture at a health food store. It works for some people and not for others…sort of depends on where the problem lies.
There is something very hot about a spouse asking you to wear (or not wear ) something as long as it is done in the right way. I think most women want to feel like their men almost can’t control themselves around them because they are just. that. hot.
I think that what many guys don’t get is that it is all right to play it up a little. So, you don’t get a massive erection every time the wife walks into the room? Whispering in her ear what she does to you (whether it is 100 percent true or slightly lovingly exaggerated) isn’t going to hurt your love life a bit.
I think the talking in public is hot..and the chocolate painting? Yeah.
I don;t often like their articles but this one, from my female point of view, was a winner other than the two I mentioned in the post. I don;t think most women want to watch porn as much as some men would like to believe..and I think that it is a quick way to add problems in your marriage. Make your own video.
I remember checking that one out. Thought NAH!
Sorry.
“I don;t think most women want to watch porn as much as some men would like to believe…”
Yeah, joy more richly conveyed through the hint of a smile is lost in a frozen grimace. Making one’s own avant garde art-piece can result in unforeseen reactions in your spouse.
One New Year’s found me filling the bath with hot water and adding aromatic bath salts – Wildberry and having the wife get in and bringing her up a nicely chilled glass of wine. Simple things, ya know, just to make her feel a little warm.
For some reason, I got a wild – hair and walked into the bathroom with a small vidy cam rolling. Instead of being sharply shooed away as I expected, there was made manifest a entirely different reaction altogether. A nicely uncharacteristic one, I might add.
Yeah.
Off topic. Did you happen to see last evening’s 20/20? Interesting show. One of the few times the wife and I watched telly together. They had this piece on women who ease the trauma of child-birth through orgasm.
It dawned on me whilst watching that the whole thing of it with women and achievement of THAT is being able to let go. It seems obvious, but I think a great number of people miss the implications of that.
adiós amigos.
