1~  Straight Talk Q&A

Q&A at Education Week

During a recent seminar I received some questions that may be of value to
you in strengthening your marriage...intimately!

Question:
What do you do if your husband has a greater need for more frequent
lovemaking than you do, and you feel a pressure to not disappoint him?


Answer:
The concepts of supply and demand, as well as quality versus quantity can
be helpful in understanding the issue of frequency of lovemaking, or so-called
desire discrepancies. If the supply of sexual relations is low in the relationship,
the demand for it naturally increases. If someone hardly ever gets to eat a
dessert that they love, it can become something they begin to crave and even
obsess about, potentially leaving the other spouse to believe that it will never
be enough. But it's not really the issue of quantity that's the real problem....

Question:
How can I prolong the pleasure of lovemaking with my husband? It seems
like it's over too quickly.


Answer:
One of the best ways to prolong the pleasure of lovemaking is to learn to find
greater pleasure in ALL aspects of the lovemaking. Every touch, every sensation,
every glance has the potential for stoking the fire of passion and connection
during lovemaking. In chapter 12 of "And They Were Not Ashamed" you'll find
a section of specialized Sensate Focus exercises that are great for couples to
learn to savor each touch, and be more fully present and connected during the
entire lovemaking experience....

Question: 
You mentioned the need for couples to get educated sexually and particularly
to learn about the female sexual response. What are some good resources
you could recommend to my wife and I?


Answer:
Check out chapters three and four of the book "And They Were Not Ashamed--
Strengthening Marriage through Sexual Fulfillment."
These chapters detail new
insights regarding the female sexual response, including a new first phase
defined as a "warm-up/preparation" phase. Another key is the need to reverse
the clinical phases of Desire and Arousal, particularly when considering the
female response....
