Daylle Deanna Schwartz| Anticipation

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

As an interviewer for  My6Secrets.com  we had the pleasure of speaking with Daylle  Deanna Schwartz,  M.S.  author , relationship  counselor , and  public speaker known for her views on self -empowerment.  Her popular books include Nice Girls Can Finish First, All Men are Jerks until Proven Otherwise , and How to Please a Woman In & Out of Bed.  Daylle has been a guest on over 300 TV and radio shows, including :
•Oprah • Good Morning America • Howard Stern • Inside Edition • Strategy Room with Alan Combes • BBC • Fox News • CNN • Maury Povich • KTLA Morning News (Los Angeles) • Z-Morning Zoo (New York) • Joey Reynolds (WOR) • Candace Bushnell (Sirius radio) • Montel Williams • America in the Morning with Jim Bohannon

Daylle’s soft spoken frank approach to sexual intimacy is refreshing, down to earth and for our purposes perfect for My6Secrets.com.
1.    Connect – Connecting with your partner is so very important.  “Men often complain that their woman requires so much attention when in fact what a woman is truly seeking is a connection with her lover/ partner” “Feeling connected outside of the bedroom builds trust and intimacy in the bedroom.”   Daylle suggests that partners take a few moments daily to lightly touch, make eye contact, emotionally connect when sex is not the immediate outcome. “women often feel that the only time their men feel the need or desire to connect is in the bedroom, what they must understand is that connecting outside the bedroom will make intimacy a much better experience for both partners”

2.    Show Appreciation – “Let your partner know that you appreciate them, men love to be complimented too!”  “It is often difficult for men to express that they need to be complimented, women elicit compliments much more easily.” “Men have insecurities about how well endowed they are or if their woman finds them sexy, women likewise need to feel sexy to act sexy” “Simply put, the better you feel about yourself, the more open you will be to enjoy and express yourself during sex..”

3.    Anticipation – “Creating a feeling of anticipation goes a long way in the development of a strong healthy sex life” The idea here is to create a build-up to sex, “ send an email, leave a post-it-note hinting to a weekend of romance. Provocative looks or subtle touches at times when sex is not an option leaving your partner anticipating a very special experience as soon as the opportunity presents itself”

4.    Be Verbal – Expressing your feelings during sex tells your partner that what  they are doing pleases you.  “ Men tend to be in the moment during sex while women are not, a woman may feel insecurity about performing certain things such as fellatio, encouraging comments from her partner will put her at ease and let her know that what she is doing is working for him“  “The more verbal you are during intimacy the more confident your partner will be,  it is much like the adrenaline rush that an athlete feels when being cheered on during competition – being open and verbal will drive your partner to want to please you more “

5.    Personalize – The magic word is YOU! “ YOU make me feel so good or YOU do that so well makes it about the person and not the act. “ Using the word you before these types of sentences says to your partner I like this because YOU are doing it”

6.    Clit Radar – For a majority of women the clit is the focal point for orgasm. “ It is always good to stimulate the clitoris during foreplay as well as intercourse – both partners should

“Take Charge of your own arousal”

1.    Supercharge your Interest and Arousal: Breathing together and eye gazing – People spend little time looking at their partner and feeling tender towards them.  It is a difficult exercise at first, look into one another’s eyes, not speaking but showing your feelings through your eyes as you breathe in unison.  Breathing deep from the belly.  This exercise builds and strengthens the feeling of connection and safety with your partner. “ Women especially cannot surrender to pleasure unless they feel safe”.

2.    Auditory Expression in the Bedroom: Women have dialog going on in their heads during intimacy.  It is important to keep her in the present and focused on the experience rather than what she is thinking.  A man should lead his partner on a verbal journey.  Tell her what he is experiencing and what he is finding pleasurable.  He will have a much more willing and excitable partner.
3.    Make your Man a Success in the Bedroom: When a woman participates in the experience, audibly or through body language it gives him a guide on how to please you.  “ lead him on the journey of success “ When she participates it keeps her in the present and keeps him on the track that she needs him on.  Men need to feel trusted to fully enjoy intimacy.

4.    Be Vulnerable and Brave : Ask for what you need! Tension stifles energy.  Communicating out-loud during intimacy is imperative.  There should be many types of sounds and gestures so that both partners understand what is working and what isn’t.  Love talk during sex is stimulating and pleasurable for both.

5.    Tantra Sexual Techniques: Men can learn to have multiple orgasms , women can learn how to have free flowing orgasms rather than tension release organsms.  Learn to expand your capacity for pleasure and  explore your ability to open yourself more and more to pleasure in intimacy.

6.    Don’t Wait for the Mood: “Fake it ‘til  you make it  works!”  Make a commitment to make love every day for 30 days. Schedule time for it, touch often when you are together, flirt, be playful.  “The more you make love the better it gets, use it or lose it is true “ Keep the sexual arousal flowing at all times”.

Melody Brooke| Everything is Foreplay

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Melody Brooke  MA, LPC, LMFT is a licensed marriage and family therapist and the author of “ This is Great Sex Workbook”   Melody is founder of the non-profit group CompassionMovement.org which helps trauma victims and families in conflict and has many years of experience working with couples. Melody has been published in magazines, professional journals and in multiple places on the web including askdanandjennifer.com, a wildly popular dating site where she is a regular contributor. Melody shared with us her six best kept secrets for a fun committed relationship.
1.    Everything is Foreplay:  Every interaction you have with your partner during the day is foreplay.  Recognizing that your mood and tone transfer to your partner and ultimately into the intimacy of the relationship.  Helping to manage one another’s stress by being a compassionate listener or helping with everyday chores will always set the tone for opportunity and intimacy.
2.     Kisses are Important :  Every time you leave one another taking a moment to have skin to skin contact reinforces that  your partner is important to you and improves every couples health , both physically and emotionally.   Men in particular are taught at an early age to be “touch deprived” which can have negative impact on relationships.  Skin to skin contact can increase the development of a chemical in your body called Oxytocin which increases blood flow, releases endorphins and can provide an overall sense of wellness and extended life.
3.    Set a Bedtime and keep it :  Going to bed together at the same every night gives couples a daily opportunity for one-on –one time ( sexual or not.)  Couples spend on average 6 minutes each day communicating with one another which is not nearly enough for a healthy relationship to thrive and flourish.  Having this alone time in a secure comfortable place will extend the time you communicate.  Intimate communication naturally increases during this time and studies show that physical communication is more important than verbal communication for general relationship health.
4.    Always Sleep Naked : Whether or not you are planning on having sex sleeping naked will increase the opportunity for sexual intimacy with less fan fare and pressure.  It allows for spontaneity and fun, even if you are not in the mood being naked together suggests that you are more likely to have sex more often.
5.    Empathy and Compassion : Showing your partner that you are compassionate and not defensive re-enforces that  “ nothing is personal”  Everyone comes with some level of baggage, most “ hang ups” are often times the result of some past experience which is projected upon our partners. Understanding your partners past experiences and biases can help you develop this empathy for your partner builds trust in the relationship.   Trust leads to more open intimacy and can be transferred to the bedroom later.
6.    Play Together : Life is difficult.,….. a lot of work.  If you don’t play and find enjoyment in your life together you will not see the value in staying together.  Play makes life worth living, Do things together that you both enjoy or have interest in learning about.  Make your play time together a priority in your life !

Ian Coburn| Basic Life Concepts

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

My6Secrets.com found Ian Coburn, a comedian and author of “God is a Woman: Dating Disasters.” Unlike his standup routine, his six secrets are more about the responsibility, listening and planning to make the time in the bedroom more fun, relaxed and spontaneous.

1.    Pay Attention to Your Partner. Watch your partner and be responsive to their reactions. When you hit a spot that delivers a positive reaction, stay with it.

2.    Basic Life Concepts
– Changes Keep up !!! – relationships change as life changes it is important to keep up with the changes in your relationship just as you do those individual to you. Ask yourself these questions; What do you need?, what’s important to you?, what are your responsibilities? and what are your limitations? As life changes, revisit these questions as your answers will certainly change over time. Once you answer these questions for yourself, cross reference them with your partner, and re-evaluate as new life changes occur.

3.    Principals Xs 5 –Work with your partner to find at least 5 principles that you both agree on, your principals should line up with your Basic Life Concepts and should be re-evaluated as life changes occur.  Make sure that they still maintain their original value in light of  normal ongoing relationship changes

4.    Responsibilities always come Before YOU! – Being in a relationship brings responsibilities to the other person.  Successful relationships consist of couples that cheerfully put the other one first.

5.    Be Sensitive to your Partner’s Needs Before the bedroom
– Sensitivity and responsiveness to the needs of your partner in day to day matters will pay off in the bedroom.

6.    Element of surprise – It’s BIG! The best way to surprise someone is to take note of the little things, the things that others often don’t pick up on.  Surprising your partner by letting them know that you noticed and thus reacted is huge and will always get positive results.  People love for others to notice the things about them most often times over- looked by the general group.
