When does sex really start? Is it when you’re taking off your clothes?

Does it start when that heated kissing or “petting” begins? If you are emotionally connected, you already know when sex starts – way before you ever step into the bedroom.  If, however, you’re somewhat detached from your emotions, sex is probably, mainly a physical thing for you.

The buildup, the trust, the vulnerability, the attentiveness, the receptiveness, and a whole lot more can make or break a great sexual encounter, let alone a healthy, happy sex life to begin with.

What resentments or regrets are you holding on to?

Sometimes years can go by while you keep a firm grasp of what causes you stress simply because you can’t let go of the idea that you could have made different choices in life.

Or, could you have made different choices or taken a different direction in your life? If so, why didn’t you? Sounds like an important topic to discuss. [Read more…]
