Maintaining and understanding your duality of being his woman and fantasy

Maintaining and understanding your duality of being his woman and fantasy.  But the true essence of sexy and confidence is self care and maintenance of mind, body and soul. Maintaining your sexy, should be part of your self love, self-worth and relationship maintenance. Just because you are working woman, business woman, mother, and daughter doesn't mean you have let yourself go. You shouldn't let heartbreak or comfortablity let your looks go from Queen to a slave.  A man or woman should never get too comfortable in a relationship, unless they are comfortable of losing them. I truly understand this... women are emotionally based beings. No one should ever give anyone, that much power over their mental  and emotional health with heart break or tolerance of toxic mistreatment. Heartbreak and depression changes people mentally and physically, because of the lack of self-care and developing self medicating addictions. Emotional eating and drinking doesn't solve your problems. Y

Theorising only gets you so far in bed Two books — Is It Ever Sex?

Theorising only gets you so far in bed Two books — Is It Ever Sex?  and The Joy of Consent — explore love, lust and the body politic “Everything in the world is about sex, except sex,” Oscar Wilde never said. In Is it Ever Just Sex?, the Lacanian analyst Darian Leader explores the origins of desire and the meaning we ascribe to sexual encounters. It is never “just sex”, he  argues, but an expression of love and fantasy; guilt and anxiety; violence and revenge. Sex is an analgesic: porn usage peaks on Sunday night, to allay the anxiety of the impending workweek. People are not ruled by an animalistic sex drive “desperate for release yet restrained by social forces” Leader says; rather, it is social forces that shape desire. We pick up sexual scripts from our families and the culture at large, which is not immune to trends. Male nipples were championed as an erogenous zone in the 1970s, he notes as example, before disappearing from popular culture.  melancholy and art, Leader prides hims

 Angela Mollard 1 year ago On normalising the sexuality of ageing women Share  Fit, strong, self-sufficient and emboldened, ageing women are finally gaining sovereignty over their sexuality. Naked but for a strand of pearls and a slash of red lipstick, Miriam Margolyes poses naked for British Vogue with only a couple of artfully placed cherry buns protecting her modesty. Even a decade ago such an image would have been considered transgressive but in these gender-fluid, politically-progressive times only a dinosaur would tut at the 82-year-old Harry Potter actress getting her kit off. “I can’t resist naughtiness,” she tells Vogue while pointing out that in later life she’s learned to be kinder to herself about her body. She doesn’t, for instance, love her boobs or her droopy belly but “you just make the best of it.” Margolyes is just the latest woman of a certain age to step into her sexuality. Gone are the days when slackening skin and wrinkles were a sign that women had to tuck their
