			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>It&#8217;s common in a long term relationship or a marriage for sex to be on the bottom of your to-do list. It may escape you how it became a &#8220;to-do&#8221; at all, but most everybody at some point in their lives find that sex comes after chores, taking care of the kids and work. Most everybody wishes it were different though! Most people want to <a title="How To Spice Up Your Sex Life And Save Your Relationship" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/relationship-advice-spice-up-your-sex-life-save-your-relationship/">have more sex</a>, better sex and hotter sex! Here&#8217;s how.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span>Not having as much sex as you once did? Has your sex life become a total bore? Here are some great ways to spice up your sex life and make it more interesting so that you both actually want to have sex more often!</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span><p><a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/how-to-get-more-sex-in-your-relationship/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></span></p>
<h3><span>Variety Is Key</span></h3>
<p><span>If you want more sex in your relationship, variety is key. It&#8217;s important to have variety in the bedroom to avoid getting into a sex rut. It&#8217;s easy to fall into a sex rut &#8211; some people have sex at the same time, in the same position and do the same things each and every time they have sex. While a sexual routine can be comfortable, you tend to put off &#8220;comfortable sex&#8221; for other things. It&#8217;s important to have variety to keep sex from becoming boring or &#8220;blah.&#8221; If the <a title="4 Secrets Guaranteed To Spice Up Your Sex Life" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/sex-tips-4-secrets-guaranteed-to-spice-up-your-sex-life/">sex in your relationship</a> is never or rarely the same, you&#8217;re going to be less apt to put it off and more apt to put it first.</span></p>
<h3><span>Long Term Relationships Have More Sexual Benefits</span></h3>
<p><span>Believe it or not, the myth that <a title="Top 10 Things Women Wish Men Would Do Before, During And After Sex" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/top-10-things-women-wish-men-would-do-before-during-and-after-sex-tips/">sex is better</a> if you have sex with lots of different people is just that &#8211; a myth. You can actually experience the best sex of your life in a long term relationship. Why is that? When you&#8217;re more comfortable with someone, it&#8217;s easier to share your fantasies with them and try new and different things. Yes, getting comfortable with someone can easily lead to &#8220;comfortable&#8221; sex, but if you put a little effort into it, being comfortable with someone can equally end up in kinkier, hotter and better sex than you&#8217;ve ever had in your life.</span></p>
<h3><span>How To Spice Up Your Sex</span></h3>
<p><span>Roleplaying is a great way to add something different to your sex &#8220;routine.&#8221; You can experiment with different types of roleplaying, such as switching dominant and submissive roles, or you can act out fantasies such as the &#8220;teacher&#8221; and &#8220;student&#8221; or &#8220;maid.&#8221; Costumes are fun too and can make roleplaying seem more real. Another way to spice up your sex life is to give your partner <a title="Top 10 Tips To Give Women An Orgasm" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/top-10-tips-to-give-women-an-orgasm/">different types of orgasms</a>. Touch different areas on your partner, such as her clitoris, her g-spot, his penis, his scrotum, and his perineum. Don&#8217;t forget nipples, lips and neck too! </span></p>
<p><span>You can also try new positions with your partner. Different positions will feel different sexually and stimulate different areas as well. Another great way to spice up your sex life is to check into a hotel for a night or a weekend! It&#8217;s a perfect way to get out of the house and away from your responsibilities for something fun and different.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most common points of conflict for couples in a long-term relationship is the <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/5-little-known-female-orgasm-secrets-and-tips/5" title="5 Little Known Female Orgasm Secrets">loss of sexual desire for the woman</a>.</p>
<p>The loss of sex drive for women may occur for a variety of reasons, some of which may be physiological, but putting all those aside for another conversation, it may surprise you to learn that what I hear from many of the women I work with in my practice is that one of the primary causes for loss of desire is unmet needs. </p>
<p>As they tell me their story, they are not usually aware it&#8217;s their unmet needs that is the culprit of their dilemma, but it is what we uncover as we explore their situation further.</p>
<h3>Why Women Lose Their Sex Drive </h3>
<p>A great deal of women lose their sex drive for one very simple reason she is not enjoying the sex.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-tips-advice/se" title="Sex Tips &amp; Advice">When sex is not pleasurable</a> for the woman, she responds by withdrawing and shutting down sexually.&nbsp; Think about it, would you want to have sex if it weren&#8217;t satisfying? </p>
<p>Sex is not enjoyable for many women, because not only are her sexual needs not being met adequately, but neither are her emotional needs and for the woman, both are equally important. </p>
<p>Why aren&#8217;t these needs being met, you ask?&nbsp; Because many men and women alike don&#8217;t truly understand what it is a woman needs.&nbsp; </p>
<p>A lot of couples are not aware that the sexual needs and biological responses of men and women are quite different and it is essential that they understand these crucial differences to have a sexual relationship that is equally satisfying for both partners. </p>
<h3>Increase Her Sex Drive by Increasing Her Pleasure</h3>
<p>Solving her sex drive problem should be a joint effort. It should not rest on his or her shoulders alone.&nbsp; However, if you&#8217;re a man reading this page I’d like to make you aware that there is a simple <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/satisfaction-or-frustration-how-would-you-describe-your-sex-life/" title="Satisfaction or Frustration - How Would You Describe Your Sex Life?">solution to keeping her sexual desires alive</a> that is totally within your control.&nbsp; Take matters into your own hands and make sex irresistible for her.</p>
<p>Dazzle her by focusing on her needs. Blow her mind by getting to know her body better than she does. Help her expand her horizons to places she&#8217;s never gone before and you&#8217;ll be viewed as an amazing lover that she deeply appreciates. Once she sees how enjoyable sex can be, she&#8217;ll become more willing to explore and be adventurous.&nbsp; </p>
<p>She doesn&#8217;t know what she&#8217;s missing, but once she discovers it with you, she&#8217;ll be grateful that you took her on the journey and this will strengthen her bond with you. Coach and encourage her to express her needs to you and show you what is pleasurable for her. </p>
<h3>Deepening The Connection </h3>
<p><a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/love-relationships/relationship-advice/how-to-achieve-emotional-and-sexual-intimacy-in-your-relationship/" title="How To Achieve Emotional And Sexual Intimacy In Your Relationship">Fill her emotional needs</a> by deepening your connection with her.&nbsp; Make her feel special, appreciated, valued and important outside the bedroom as well as inside. Shower her with affection and give her adequate foreplay,</p>
<p><a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/tantric-sex-did-you-know-that-tantra-can-help-sexual-dysfunction/did%20you%20" title="Did You Know That Tantra Can Help Sexual Dysfunction?">When sex is more satisfying for her</a>, it benefits the man as well.&nbsp; She&#8217;s going to be more willing and even eager to give you pleasure in the way you desire, such as more oral sex. She&#8217;ll be willing to have sex more often and you may find that she&#8217;ll even be the one initiating it. </p>
<p>Phrases like &quot;I have a headache,&quot; or &quot;I&#8217;m too tired,&quot; will no longer be part of her vocabulary. Your sexual adventures will be more satisfying for both of you.&nbsp; When you share a <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/taming-the-tiger-exploring-female-sexual-pleasure/" title="Taming The Tiger: Exploring Female Sexual Pleasure">strong sexual bond</a> that is mutually satisfying, it keeps your sex life fresh and exciting, prevents your love from eroding or diminishing and you develop a stronger and more fulfilling relationship all around.</p>

<h3><strong>How Sexless Is Your Marriage?</strong></h3>
<p><a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/sex-why-dont-we-ever-make-love-anymore/" title="Why Don’t We Ever Make Love Anymore?">Different couples have sex at different frequencies</a>. Some married couples have sex once a week and they’re completely satisfied. </p>
<p>Other couples have sex once a week and they’re not satisfied. They feel like they should be having sex three or four times a week or even every day. </p>
<p>Whatever frequency of sex that makes you and your partner most comfortable and satisfied is your “magic” number. Don’t feel that if your friends or neighbors are having sex more often that you have to have sex the same amount or you’re not satisfied with your sex life. </p>
<p>Have sex as often or as little as it takes to keep both you and your partner happy and satisfied!</p>
<h3><strong>Hormonal Issues</strong></h3>
<p>If you truly <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/love-relationships/relationship-advice/sex-whats-that-im-married/" title="Sex, What’s That? I’m Married!">aren’t satisfied with your sex life</a>, it’s time to make a change. There’s no reason that you should not be in a marriage with a satisfying sex life! </p>
<p>There are a number of things that can contribute to a sexless marriage or an unsatisfying sex life, so it’s time to do a little digging. </p>
<p>Visit your doctor to rule out any physical reasons that might be decreasing you or your partner’s sex drive. Many couples in sexless marriages will find out from their doctor that they have an imbalance of hormones that is contributing to a lack of sex drive. Your doctor can help you determine if this is an issue for you and your partner or not.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you thought it went really well. You lavished her attention and ensured <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/how-to-go-down-on-a-woman-and-have-her-begging-for-more-oral-sex-secrets-exposed-lick-by-lick/" title="What Every Man Ought To Know About Going Down On A Woman">she reached her climax</a> first before you did. So why doesn&#8217;t she want to &#8216;hook up&#8217; with you again? Chances are, you committed one of the three mistakes that most men do after having sex.</p>
<p>While men are often only concerned about what occurs DURING sex, women are bit more complicated; they also put attention (A LOT of attention) on <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/" title="Sex &amp; Intimacy">what occurs after sex</a>. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve never really picked up on this before, then chances are you&#8217;ve committed one of the following mistakes.</p>
<h3><strong>After-Sex Mistake #1: Rolling over after reaching an orgasm and going to sleep.</strong></h3>
<p>You may think that this is &#8216;natural.&#8217; After all, didn&#8217;t you just have a long day at work and didn&#8217;t you just cater to <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/how-can-i-feel-comfortable-having-an-orgasm-with-my-partner-video-dan-jennifer/" title="Frustrated Girl - Why Can’t I Have An Orgasm With My Partner? (Video)">fulfilling her sexual needs</a> first before yours? But to your partner, dozing off right away means only one thing: insensitivity.</p>
<p>In fact, most women will think this way, &quot;now that he&#8217;s had his way with me, he&#8217;s done and just wants to sleep!&quot;. </p>
<p>So how do you handle this situation especially when you are <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/how-to-induce-sexual-desire-in-your-bedroom/" title="How to Induce Sexual Desire In Your Bedroom">really sleepy after sex</a>? Simply snuggle up to her and cuddle up a bit. You can stroke her hair too. (Better actually, as this may make HER sleepy!).</p>
<h3>After-Sex Mistake #2: Jumping out of bed and doing something else.</h3>
<p>If sleeping immediately after sex shows you&#8217;re insensitive, jumping out of bed and putting all your attention into doing something else (e.g., work!) means you&#8217;re a real jerk to her.</p>
<p>For yourself, you may just feel so <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/7-tips-for-more-pleasurable-and-passionate-lovemaking/" title="7 Tips For More Pleasurable and Passionate Lovemaking">energized after cumming</a> that you want to do other things, but to her jumping out of bed right after sex indicates that the time you two had was irrelevant. It wasn&#8217;t lovemaking; it was just sex.</p>
<p>So how do you handle this situation especially when you are really NEED to do something? Just stay a bit longer in bed. A couple more minutes surely won&#8217;t kill you! You can simply embrace her and be quiet, or cuddle and (for me the better option) start to slowly mention that darn! you forgot to do something and now you have to get up now and do it. Do this grudgingly!</p>
<h3>After-Sex Mistake #3: Reaching for the remote, turning on the TV, and forgetting she&#8217;s beside you.</h3>
<p>You <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/relationship-advice-is-your-life-too-busy-for-sex-video/" title="Is Your Life Too Busy for Sex? (Video)">can&#8217;t fake intimacy</a>. Does this mean you can&#8217;t ever turn on the TV after having sex? Of course not! In fact, SHE may even want to catch something on TV herself. </p>
<p>But the thing is, don&#8217;t break contact. You can just as easily reach for the remote while ensuring that you&#8217;re still embracing her, right? Further, a simple question of &quot;do you mind?&quot; can go a long way than simply ignoring her and watching TV!</p>
<p>Just don&#8217;t forget to include her. Ask her if she wants to see something too or ask for her comment on what you&#8217;re watching. Anything that signifies you haven&#8217;t forgotten that she&#8217;s beside you is good.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One Christmas a girlfriend of mine handed out packages to our little group of friends.&nbsp; One by one my friends opened their packages containing beautiful flannel pajamas from Neiman’s with high-healed shoes all over them.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But my package didn’t contain pajamas. <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/love-relationships/relationship-advice/questions-for-couples-how-well-do-you-really-know-your-partner-1000-must-ask-questions-for-couples/" title="How Well Do You REALLY Know Your Partner? 1000 ‘Must Ask’ Questions for Couples">Mine contained a book</a> and some toiletries.&nbsp; Embarrassed, my friend said, “Well, I know you sleep naked, so I had to think of something else!”&nbsp; I just laughed.&nbsp; </p>
<p>This particular woman has had <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/love-relationships/" title="Love &amp; Relationships">marital difficulties</a> as long as I have known her.&nbsp; Somehow she and her husband managed to have a child; I don’t really know how they did I considering they almost never have sex.&nbsp; The other women have modest sex lives, I’m sure.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Sleeping naked has many rewards&nbsp;</h3>
<p>What I know for sure is that they don’t have as rewarding and <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/love-relationships/relationship-advice/seven-easy-ways-to-ignite-the-spark-in-your-relationship/" title="Seven Easy Ways to Ignite the Spark in Your Relationship!">active a sex life</a> as they could if they are wearing pajamas to bed!</p>
<p>Wearing your birthday suit to bed offers many rewards.&nbsp; Not the least of which is that it makes sex a lot more likely to happen.&nbsp; Here is my list of the advantages of sleeping naked with your partner:</p>
<ol>
<li>Increased      oxytocin.&nbsp; Oxytocin is a hormone      released with skin-to-skin contact.&nbsp;      <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/love-relationships/relationship-advice/sex-touching-emotions/" title="Touch - It’s More Than Sex">Touching skin-to-skin</a> from head to toe all night long provides us      with a steady stream of this beneficial hormone.&nbsp; Some of the benefits of oxytocin are:      increased sense of well-being; decreased heart rate; and reduction of      stress hormones, increased sense of trust, and…. Drum roll…. Sexual arousal!</li>
<li>Getting      into “the mood” for sex is hard for women. We tend to stay in our heads      and <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/start-early-play-late/" title="Too Tired for Sex? Try This…">worry about being tired</a>, or that the kids will hear, or whatever we are      stressing about that day.&nbsp; This does      not put us in the mood for sexual contact; in fact it tends to make us      feel more alone and isolated. Many women will simply answer “Not tonight,      dear” if asked if they want to have sex just because they have too much      going on in their heads.&nbsp; Getting      skin-to-skin stimulates sexual feelings no matter whom you are or what is      going on in your head.&nbsp; </li>
<li>One of      the strongest detriments for having sex is a sense of disconnect between      the couple.&nbsp; When we feel      disconnected from our partner, we lose a sense of desire for them.&nbsp; This is why good communication that      involves respect and empathy helps us to <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/satisfaction-or-frustration-how-would-you-describe-your-sex-life/" title="Satisfaction or Frustration - How Would You Describe Your Sex Life?">feel more sexual</a> toward each      other. Sleep naked breaks down those psychological barriers. </li>
<li>Sleeping      skin-to-skin increases our sense of bonding.&nbsp; Think about it, when you are first      dating you can’t keep your hands off each other can you? When you have a      baby you can’t keep your hands off of them either.&nbsp; Bonding increases with skin-to-skin      contact. </li>
</ol>
<p>You      will <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-intimacy/sex-tips-advice/5-little-known-female-orgasm-secrets-and-tips/" title="5 Little Known Female Orgasm Secrets">have sex more often</a>. &nbsp;Being      close and naked makes it a lot easier to move into being sexual together. </p>
<ol start="1" type="1"></ol>
<h3>Before you protest too much&#8230;&nbsp;</h3>

		<description><![CDATA[Regardless of what you may think.  Sex happens in the brain.  Our ability to feel desire, the things that turn us on, the things that make us reach climax all happen in the brain. So, if you want more sex, it’s reasonable to assume you should know more about the brain. I’ll give you the primer version.

Our brains are hard wired to respond to perceived threat in ways that will preserve our ability to survive.  These automatic reactions are called “Survival mechanisms”.  Our brain fires off chemicals that provoke us into feelings of fear for our survival.  Then we have biologically programmed ways to react to fear that aid us in surviving whatever it is that is threatening our survival.  You don’t really have a choice about what you are feeling when you perceive yourself to be in a threatening situation.  Your brain takes over.  Our brains are very powerful in affecting how we feel and how we respond.

<p class="MsoBodyText2">Our brains are divided into sections.&nbsp; As we evolved as a species we went from depending on simple functions to the very complex brain that we now have as human beings. Our reptilian ancestors brains comprised of three cleanly defined sections: the front part allows for smell, the middle for vision, and the rear allows us balance and coordination. And those basic survival instincts were cordoned off in a space between the smell and vision sections, a kind of command post with the scientific name of “diencephalon”.&nbsp; <strong>This part of the brain holds our drives for food, our&nbsp; &quot;fight-or-flight&quot; aggression reactions, and of course, sex.</strong></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText2">Our brains further evolved into what is known as the “mammalian” brain when our left and right cerebral hemispheres developed.&nbsp; More and more circuits had to be added to process the more complex functions of the life and culture of our mammalian ancestors and our brains grew in size.&nbsp; But we still rely on that command post to assist us in our primary need: survival. This relic of the past fights our evolved brains more flexible reactions and tends to take over when we perceive that we need them. </p>
<p class="MsoBodyText2">This very powerful tiny walnut sized part of our brain, set inside our brain stem, is called our “hypothalamus”. It injects our system with electrical stimulus evoking anger, anxiety and acute fear.&nbsp; Most of the time, we are able to maintain mastery over this part of our brain. But now and again our animal senses tell us that our survival or our well-being is being challenged and that package of survival programs, called “emotions” erupt. </p>
<p class="MsoBodyText2"><strong>It’s like you have two brains in one body.</strong>&nbsp; Your emotional states that evolved to help you survive; and the other which is ruled by reason.&nbsp; The old brain; and the new brain in one package: your skull.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
<p class="MsoBodyText2"><strong>Okay, now, back to sex</strong>&#8230;</p>
