"Once a Knight Is Never Enough"

How inspired I was when I met this fellah at a BBQ on Saturday night! (I did seek his permission to use his photo)

     

Whether or not this party-goer, was "serious" or just poking fun at his desires to have intercourse more than once a night, it's a great reminder that sexual intercourse provides us with a plethora of additional benefits!

• 
  
  
  
  We bond with our partner
• 
  
  
  
  We can "tune out" the rest of the world, for, a minimum of 4 minutes. (And if we are blessed to have a partner that supplies us with an average love-making session of an hour, then pat him/her on the back, and count your multiple-blessings!)
• 
  
  
  
  We burn calories
• 
  
  
  
  We sleep better
• 
  
  
  
  We feel better about our relationship and ourselves

If there is anything holding you back, personally or in your head, or societal-wise from enjoying all the benefits of a healthy, "regularly schedule" sex-life, please talk with your partner about changing that! Life is short, and we really should be enjoying all it has to offer us. Intimacy is definitely one of those wonderful gifts we have been given.

Web MD will also back my (not-so-original) theory:

Coming from a suppressed home, and growing up with zero sex education, I know we all enter our adult relationships with some form of "baggage". My own personal growth in my 20's around relationships and sexuality has given me pleasure, a steady dose of self-confidence, and awe-inspiring orgasms! My own journey to a better "me" has also led me to this inspirational blog, which will hopefully have a trickle-down effect on my readers. It's a win-win-win, as far as I'm concerned.

Open up your mind about how you approach intimacy in your own relationship with, not only your partner, but with yourself. Yes, it's OK to self pleasure, and self-explore. In fact, it should be a prerequisite before offering yourself to someone else!

If you don't currently have a personal sexual relationship with yourself, but you feel comfortable asking your partner to go on a self-pleasuring journey with you, an activity like that could spice up your love-life for a good long while.
