Although it is usually the focus of many a man’s pride the penis is often very much overlooked when it comes to matters of hygiene. It is important for both personal health and for the sake of your sex life you keep your penis clean. So what do you need to do to ensure your personal cleanliness?

The Head of the Penis

If you are not circumcised then you will need to focus on your foreskin. Without proper washing a white substance called smegma will form. Smegma is formed from dead cells, skin oils and moisture. In addition to this combination are the bacteria that love to live in the warm, moist environment of the foreskin. It can cause irritation if it is not washed away.

To clean properly pull back the foreskin as far as it will go. Use lukewarm water rather than hot and don’t be too rough. Also don’t forget to wash the whole of the area including the inside of the foreskin.

Although men who are circumcised do not have to contend with a build up of smegma in their foreskin, they have other problems. The lack of a foreskin means that the glans is not protected from everyday dust, sweat and other kinds of substances that can cause irritation.

Some in the medical profession believe that circumcised penises are more vulnerable to types of bacteria that cause infections of the urinary tract because of the lack of protection from the foreskin. So for health reasons alone keeping your circumcised penis clean is a must.

Of course, of great importance is the need to keep clean down there if you’re hoping to increase your chances of having sex, especially oral sex. Women in particular are sensitive to unpleasant odors that linger on a less than clean penis head.

Keeping the Base of the Penis Clean

The base of the penis is particularly prone to the build up of sweat which is then trapped by the hair. Left unwashed it soon begins to smell strongly. Wash it frequently to get rid of nasty odors and change your underwear daily.

You can improve your hygiene by shaving or clipping the pubic hair especially during summer. It’ll make washing easier if you don’t have a big mat of hair to rinse through. And while you’re at it don’t forget to wash the shaft thoroughly.

Washing Your Testicles

The testicles are extremely good at accumulating sweat and skin oils because of the folds of skin. If you don’t wash thoroughly here the natural musky smell of clean testicles will turn into something unpleasant especially on a hot day. Wash each ball carefully and don’t rub the delicate skin too hard as this could cause inflammation. And remember to dry the area very thoroughly.

Turn Any Argument into “Off the Chart” Make-Up Sex

If you are married, then you’ve probably had an argument or two. It is not only a fact of life, but as we have found, a necessary form of communication. This article is not about “how” to argue. Suffice it to say, you should leave personal attacks, name calling and old business aside. When you “discuss things” at a high level, you should respect a person’s opinion, listen intently and strive to make your point. When things get out of control and your emotions get the best of you, “strong discussions” turn into arguments and both parties generally get very emotional. During my first 15 years of marriage, I avoided arguments, now that I’ve learned to harness the power and energy of female emotions (and wrote a book about it) we actually argue more and have a BETTER relationship!

The chemicals released in our bodies during arguing are the same endorphins and chemicals released when we were cavemen, fighting for our families or for our meal. When people argue, fight, or battle, the body’s reaction is to go into survival mode. Chemicals like adrenaline are released during battle. Adrenaline is one of those chemicals and it has been attributed to giving us superhuman bursts of energy.

Imagine Superman sex.

Now, what if you could channel those same chemicals and endorphins to stimulate the most heightened and stimulating sex imaginable? The secret is ot…you can. Below is a step-by-step guide to harness the power of our bodies, channel the energy (both positive and negative) to create “off the chart” sex with your spouse.

1. Next time you argue, let it go a bit longer than usual. In fact, push your arguing further than you have previously. Carry on a bit longer and insert a few points that are almost ridiculous that you can easily give into if you were not so mad.

(WARNING: DO NOT INSERT ANY PERSONAL ATTACKS. PERSONAL ATTACKS WILL ELIMINATE ANY CHANCE FOR MAKE UP SEX)

2. When of you are at the peak of arguing, take a long dramatic pause and sit very still. Take a moment and let your spouse know that she is right. (Even if she isn’t right, let her win this argument. Your job here is to win the war, not the battle) When you give in, she may not believe you. Remind her that, “yeah, the more I think of it, the more I see your point.” She will gradually melt.

3. Don’t stop there. You must go on and not only concede her point, but go one step further and admit that you were wrong and upon reflection, acted like an ass. This combination of “You were right, dear” along with, “AND, I was wrong” may at first make her suspicious if this is your first time losing a fight. You’ve conceded…stand your ground. You are about to tap into the chemicals released during your argument and turn them into a powerful aphrodisiac.

4. Now that you have conceded the battle, it is time to make amends. You should immediately embrace her, hold her tight and apologize. Make your embrace longer than usual. Wipe away any tears and profess your undying love and devotion to her. You are giving her physical, auditory, and visual stimuli of your love and respect for her. By combining all three modes of communication (auditory, visual, and physical) you will reinforce your point and assure her of your sincerity.

5. Start with a gentle kiss….keep up that embrace. As you slide your hands down her backside, increase the intensity and passion of your kissing. The rest is pretty elementary….you should be preparing her for passionate sex. Her endorphins are elevated and since both your emotions were running high, you are both chemically prepared for love or war. You have just taken a battle and turned it around. Congratulations.

DON’TS:

Do not create a “fake” fight, just to have make up sex. It won’t work.

Do not personally attack her weight, mother, or anything personal. Stick to the point, when arguing.

Do not go to bed angry. Always complete the fight (and the make-up sex) in a single day.

If make up sex doesn’t occur, don’t worry. You’ve still scored huge points for sex later in the week.

DO’S:

Be sincere when you acquiesce. You are wrong ½ the time anyway. Who cares which time this is!

Be very slow and with your advances after the fight. Aggressively diving down her pants won’t work.

Show her as much attention after sex as before. Memories of a few candles and a foot rub last forever.

It is inevitable that our emotions run high every once in a while. Arguing is an inescapable part of a long-term relationship. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t turn a bunch of those arguments into a closer relationship and mind-blowing sex!

Women think a lot differently from men, so a lot of things that men take for granted actually mean a lot to women. This article will look at some of the ways to romance a woman.

The first way is through the use of compliments and this can be very powerful if used right and can make a woman feel truly appreciated and loved, just make sure that any compliment you give is sincere and not just something you are trying to use to impress her. Also try to make your compliments as specific as you can for instance instead of just saying you like her dress it is better to say that you like to color or the design of the dress.

Another good way is through the use of jokes, women love people who are funny and the more you make a woman laugh the more she would be interested in what you are trying to say. The best way to use jokes is to use them a lot but do not use too much the idea is to make her see you not only as a funny guy but also as a guy who is trying to romance her.

Listen to her, one of the complains that women usually have is that guys do not listen. Women like to talk about themselves just ask her to tell you about her day and listen as she tells you everything she did and then you can ask her about the things she said she did during the day. This lets her know that you were listening and that she is actually important to you.

Never try to impose your views on her unless she asks you for your opinion this helps to prevent unnecessary arguments and makes the woman feel better about herself.

All in all, just by listening to a woman, making her laugh and complimenting her on what you like about her, you should be able to romance any woman.

Have you ever considered how the setting you choose for your novel or short story becomes one of its characters?

Think of the home where the character, Norman Bates lives, in the 1960 film, Psycho. The dark, brooding house very soon takes on a life of its own with its creaking doors and dark passage ways.

Or how the setting for the 1945 film, Brief Encounter, filmed in a real railway station during the days of the steam train, transmits a certain something, that was evocative of that era in both tone and ambiance.

In the case of the first film, who could forget that infamous shower scene?

Or how in Brief Encounter, the couple who are having an affair, rush breathlessly for their prospective trains, whilst their shadows are reflected on the walls behind them showing their embrace?

Taking my own books as examples, in IT HAPPENED ONE SUMMER, the castle where Matt and Sandy spend the night, Castell Mynydd, reflects a romantic tone, which falls into line with how both feel about one another.

In the follow up book, RETURN TO WINTER, the wine cellar at the same castle takes on an eerie, sinister feel as Stephanie is trapped down there in the dark. Even the odd cobweb frightens her to death during her temporary blindness!

Allow the setting you use to reflect the tone and mood of the situation. For example, in the case of a horror story, you are not going to want to show the forest as a beautiful, serene place, rather as somewhere sinister where anything might happen. This will be reflected in the shadow and sounds, e.g. the sound of an owl hooting, a twig breaking, the moon shining through the rustling leaves of the trees. The same forest might appear innocuous in daylight and may provide the backdrop for a romantic walk in summer.

Next time you write a story, think how the setting can reflect its tone and mood. If your story is a romance, what smells can you induce, for example, or how can you best describe your setting in the way a lover might do? If it’s a horror story, what could you use that could take on a life of its own? A house? A mountain? The river?

If you have difficulty imagining how you can do this, watch a few films in your chosen genre. How has the writer/director chosen to film the shots? What tools has he or she chosen? Did they use the weather in some way to predict the mood of the characters? [Prophetic fallacy.]

You are the writer, director and producer of your own stories. Think like a collective production team and use your chosen setting as one of your characters. I promise, it works.

Do you want to know how to make a girl want you? It seems as if every guy is looking for the answer to this question. To answer the question you need to know what a woman is looking for in a man. And what a woman is looking for in a man is not what you think it is.

After not having much luck with women, I decided to study them for a while. I wanted to see what was that women were attracted to. I wanted to find out what made them tick. I wanted to find out just what it was they were looking for in a guy. And the results surprised me. They will surprise you too.

Why do you think women are so attracted to jerks? Do they really like being treated poorly? The answer is no. But the jerk has something that every man needs to have. And that is confidence.

Women want a man who is the alpha male. This is built into their genetics and it is a part of nature that even they can’t fight. That is why they’re attracted to the jerk. Not because he is a jerk, but because he has built in confidence. You need to have this built in confidence if you want to have better success in girls.

You need to want to make a change for the better. You need to find that inner confidence that you desire. You need to become the alpha male, the guy that women love. The good news is finding this inner confidence is easier achieved than you might think. It is something you can learn and start practicing as soon as tonight. Are you ready to become the alpha male and learn how to make girls want you? You can start right now!

If you are getting married soon, do not rush the choice of wedding rings; the rings will be on for a long time so great care needs to be taken in their choice. Do not rush this as they are more than a symbol of love; find rings that symbolize your commitment to each other in the years to come. For something this important a couple should find a specialist jeweler for their wedding rings; quality rings may take some finding but they will be worth the effort although the shopping mall may not be the ideal place.

The type of ring available in these stores is usually quite limited; they may also have a restricted price range, another reason to seek out a jeweler who only sells this type of ring. When choosing, you will want a ring for the bride that will complement the engagement ring she is already wearing.

Some wedding rings are far to elaborate to be worn with an engagement ring; try to find a jeweler that stocks both types of ring, especially those that are designed to go together. To achieve this, the easiest method is to place both the wedding band and engagement ring side by side and if it is not possible to try the ring on.

Fashions in rings come and go but the traditional metals including: (1) Yellow Gold, (2) Silver, (3) Titanium and (4) White Gold; although, increasing numbers of couples are choosing the longer lasting platinum. Choosing a ring that is made of durable material is especially important for the groom’s ring and platinum is an ideal choice. Traditionally, men are more likely to cause damage to a ring; they are the ones who will have the most marks and damage if examined.

Having finger size checked is essential if the wedding rings are to fit; it would be embarrassing if one or both rings did not fit properly. It is just as important to ensure the rings are not so loose that there is a chance they will be lost.

The jeweler should be given plenty of time to complete this task because there may be others he is adjusting rings for; make certain that you give plenty of time before your wedding day for both choosing and for adjustments to be made. Choosing wedding bands you will both like and that match the engagement ring may take some time; allow for this as it is not uncommon for couples to choose in haste and then regret their decision later.

However, the most important aspect to remember when choosing a wedding ring is that its purpose is to show the love that two people have for one another; perhaps now, the reason for the time spent choosing a ring has been made clearer.

When a couple get married there is a huge amount of planning and preparation that goes on behind the scenes in the run up to the big day to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible and that every possible attention to detail is looked after. Although the overall planning that goes into the big day is a joint effort generally it is the bride that looks after the finer points of the preparation such as the flowers, the wedding cake and the decoration of the church. Even though these are relatively small things in the whole scheme of the wedding these details go to make whole occasion as special as it can possibly be and as these are things that the bride places great emphasis on they can be very stressful for her. So when it comes to decorating the church for the wedding day what can the bride do to make it look as special as possible?

Although the decoration of the church does not make the ceremony any more or less important the decoration and appearance of the church is all part of the overall aesthetics of the occasion and so the bride wants it to look as beautiful as possible. Traditionally the pews in the church are decorated with a white ribbon at each end or a color which matches both the wedding dress and the wedding flowers carried by the bride and bridesmaid.

Generally the wedding pew decoration is a simple but elegant touch which does not detract from the bride, nor should it look as if the church is over decorated, another popular but more modern approach to wedding pew decoration is to tie a small bunch of flowers to the end of each pew, again, these should be simple and not to over powering. An option that is gaining in popularity is an amalgamation of both the pew bow and flowers, keeping a simple but modern look all the way down the aisle.

Do not be afraid to add a bit of color to your pew wedding decoration, a splash of color that compliments the bride and bridesmaids dresses can create a stunning effect as they walk down the aisle, as with all of the wedding pew decorations you should try not to over complicate the decoration and use it to add to the look rather than detract from the bride.

If you inquire with better quality wedding flower suppliers it is possible to hire small potted shrubs or miniature trees to place at the end of each pew, this can be especially effective if you go for a fragranced plant, something like a jasmine or orange blossom with the scent of the plant circulating as the bride walks down the aisle, this is a wonderfully memorable moment.

You may choose to scatter rose petals down the entire length of the aisle in readiness for the bride’s arrival so she can glide elegantly down to the altar on a bed of rose petals; this is especially effective if done in conjunction with a contrasting pew bow or bouquet of flowers.

Using fabric swathes to decorate the back of the wedding pews is a simple but effective way of adding an amount of decoration and color to the church; this is a popular method of decoration as it is fairly cheap and easy to carry out.

These tips are nothing more than pointers to help you get the very best look possible at your wedding. Where possible I would always recommend using the best quality material available to get the best look, you do not want the look ruined by using an inferior quality fabric and where possible always use hardy plants and flowers as wedding pew decoration as the look will be spoiled if the flowers are wilting and dying before the bride walks down the aisle.

The now infamous bachelorette party is an event honoring a bride-to-be, a rite of passage, celebrating the end of her single life. Not to be confused with the bachelorette party, the bridal shower is usually a bit more low-key, honoring the bride-to-be and the beginning of her role as a wife. The bachelorette parties that we have in the U.S. today came from the UK, Ireland and Canada, what they call Hen or Stagette Parties. For many years, ladies have been getting together in the evening to celebrate with a bride-to-be. It wasn’t until the end of the 1990’s that the term bachelorette party was coined.

These days, approximately 94% of the brides-to-be have bachelorette parties. The average number of guests at a bachelorette party is 12, but can range from 4 to as many as 200, depending on the bride’s style and/or party theme. Not to be outdone by its predecessor, the groom’s bachelor party, bachelorette parties tend to have more interactive games and fun costumes.

From the 1960’s-1980’s, as the bachelorette party was developing, women would go out for drinks after a shower. In the 90’s, brides-to-be had kicked it into high-gear and were going to strip clubs and night clubs for cocktails and a night of decadence. In the past 5 years, women have been doing an assortment of activities with only 20% of them hiring a male dancer. It seems we have reached the land of happy medium, with just enough debauchery to be a night to remember, but still ensuring the bride will make it to the alter, integrity intact.

Current trends include destination bachelorette parties and nights on the town with a professional coordinator (BNO Party Guide) who emcees games tailored for the bride. Traditionally it has been the duty of the maid of honor to be the party contact, but we are now seeing the bride, mother of the bride and the duke of honor (a male friend of the bride) stepping in to get things planned with the help of a BNO Party Consultant.

Party guests usually include the immediate wedding party and very close friends of the bride, generally all females around the same age as the bride. People, who are not invited to the wedding, should not be invited to the bachelorette party.

Usually all the guests chip in for the bachelorette party and the host (party contact) pays for a special item. In some cases, the groom or the mother of the bride may also give something toward the event such as a hotel suite or special gift. The most important thing to remember about the bachelorette party is that every guest has a great time and the activities are thoughtfully planned out. The Bachelorette party is not only a send-off for the guest-of-honor, but a celebration of female bonding and treasuring those friendships that got us to where we are today.

Does it seem like going to bed with your partner consists of going right to sleep? You both work and are tired at the end of the day and there is no desire for anything but sleep. Has the fire died, is the passion gone? Probably not. You just need to turn up the heat a little.

The greatest challenge that confronts monogamous relationships today is to maintain the sexual passion once the newness of the initial months or years has worn off. You don’t have to have a sexual problem for sexual desire and excitement to die. Excitement tends to fade for three reasons.

The stress of life in our busy fast paced life today and society. Many of us are so busy with two careers, children, cooking, errands, etc. that we are left exhausted with little quality time left over for sexual or emotional intimacy. In the priorities of life, our sexual relationship gets placed towards the end of the list, sometimes even in last place.

The second interfering factor is the suppression of feelings. When something bothers us, we tend to hold it in — either because we don’t want to rock the boat or because we feel too vulnerable and unsafe to be open.

Unfortunately, you can’t suppress some feelings while leaving others free to grow and expand. If you are holding in angry or hurt feelings, you automatically will be holding in sexual feelings as well. If you don’t feel safe to express yourself or trust that you will be heard and respected, you are likely to protect yourself by holding back from the vulnerability that occurs with sexual intimacy.

The expectation that sex should take care of itself is the third culprit responsible for diminished sexual passion. Many of us grew up in families that taught us to be ashamed of our sexual feelings or to feel embarrassed about sex. We expected great sex to just happen if we were really in love with our partner.

But this is not true. Like other areas of life, if you expect to reap the rewards of sexual intimacy you need to put energy in. You would never consider putting energy into a business for a year and then expect it to support you for the rest of your life. For the same reasons, a sexual relationship requires ongoing attention, expansion, and even risk. It requires that you set aside time to experiment and have fun, thereby prioritizing your partner and your sex life.

So you want it back? Here are some thoughts to try.

Leave a note for him or her to see in the morning, or leave an email, voicemail with clues throughout the day for them to anticipate the evenings outcome. For her, candlelight, soft music, hot bath waiting, rose pedals on the floor leading from the door to the bedroom, and you on the bed waiting for her to come in.

For him, candle light, soft music, aroma of his favorite perfume, you waiting by the fire on a rug with your new sexy lingerie waiting for him to come through the door to find you ready for his taking.

Passion takes work, take the time, put it at the top of your daily list. Other things can take a backseat, let the one you love know that the fire has not extinguished. Start by buying something you know he or she will love and start that fire burning again. The first step is you need to feel sexy. Go to the site below and get started on rekindling that flame by feeling sexy.

I receive emails daily from people who ask me for advice, people who share their comments about articles I’ve written over the years and sometimes, I receive emails from people criticizing my point of view.Husband and wife arguing

All of which I am perfectly fine with.

But recently, I opened an email to find this shocking subject line, “Your comment that “Women don’t leave great guys” is (profanity was inserted here).”

Okay, I admit, I’m reading closely now.

My comment, (actually my wife Marsha’s quote), “Women don’t leave great guys” brought about a firestorm of reaction from this particular man. I’ll call him “Joe” to protect his privacy.

Now I always try to keep in mind that there are two sides to every story. But this article apparently struck a nerve with Joe compelling him to describe to me exactly how and why he was a great guy to his wife and yet - how his wife “repaid” him by drinking and running up all kinds of debt.

As he put it, “I was the great guy who did everything he could including working two jobs averaging 80 to 100 hours a week.”

Joe then began driving his winning point home…

“I’ve asked myself what I did wrong. It was being too forgiving, too understanding and too honest. (Larry,) please think more about the 5% of men who really are great guys before you write another book”, he stated.

Well, I didn’t write a book on this topic, but instead it was an article which you can find here:

Does a Cheating Wife Inevitably Lead To Divorce?

But I offer Joe’s point of view to you because it sheds some light on the big idea that I don’t want you to miss.

When you’re CONVINCED that you are good, that you are right, that you’ve been done wrong, and then make your case with no room to receive any other point of view, you’ve just risked going BLIND.

That’s right, blind.

We all know it as self righteousness.

It happens when you’ve been hurt so bad by someone you love, know or trust, that you become SO angry…and you just can’t see past your point of view.

But you can prevent this from happening before things get out of control.

Here’s how…

The time to take a good, hard look at your marriage is NOW.

Look for the signs that your marriage is taking a turn for the worst.

And yes, although most spouses are completely shocked when their spouse tells them the marriage is over, there ARE several warning signs that should alert you to a serious problem in your relationship.

Here are 2 of these signs:

1. INTIMACY: Intimacy is the first place to look. When this starts going wrong, you know it because one person is complaining about it, resisting it or criticizing it. If you ignore these small signs and don’t find a way to start talking about this important issue in a safe way the two of you can handle, the complaint gets buried and becomes fuel for resentment.

And that’s when one spouse stops voicing their concerns and goes quiet. Not a good sign.

Which brings me to the next warning sign…

2. TALKING: Another bad sign that your marriage is taking a turn for the worst is when the talking stops. When intimacy goes bad, that should wake you up, but when talking goes sour - that should be a rude awakening.

Intimacy and communication are the two most important components of a fulfilling marriage. Don’t pretend they’re not important. They are.

I hope this blog post will cause you to take a second look at your marriage. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Even if you think you’re the perfect husband or wife, your spouse may think differently. And ultimately, that’s what matters most.

So what if your friends agree that you treat your spouse like gold. Who cares if you’re able to be the sole supporter of your family?

If you want a fulfilling marriage, BOTH of you need to identify, and then meet each others’ needs instead of being what YOU consider a “good husband” or a “good wife”.

It’s your spouses’ perception of you that counts.

If your marriage is failing, instead of looking to blame your spouse for your marriage problems, look in the mirror and put yourself in your spouses’ shoes. Ask your spouse what criteria s/he defines as a good husband or wife.

What you find may surprise you.

It’s amazing how much some brides are willing to pay for their wedding flowers. If you’re watching pennies, flowers can make a huge gash in your budget - especially if you don’t use seasonal wedding flowers.

Have you ever attended a wedding where the bride and groom have had to use cheap fake flowers in place of real ones because they couldn’t afford what they wanted? Some silk flowers are affordable and beautiful.

It’s a wedding planner’s job to find deals and negotiate with vendors. If you don’t have a powerful wedding planner, then you’d better become a take-no-prisoners businesswoman and get the wedding flowers you deserve.

When you walk into a local flower shop, most will have a book you can see of previous wedding flowers and bouquets or arrangements they’ve done. If not, walk out the door.
They won’t usually have prices on them, but when you start talking to the florist about your flowers, you want to tell her up front that you don’t have a big budget. Don’t give her numbers - just say, “small.”

Tell her you want to know what kinds of wedding flowers they can substitute for the ones in the pictures that look almost identical to the more expensive version.

Also ask about simplistic wedding flower designs - such as a pure cut bouquet. If a florist has to create an arrangement, it’s far more expensive to buy. You might even get a book on how to create floral designs and then buy the wedding flowers and do them yourself.

Wedding flowers can mean just a simple bridal bouquet or every other floral presentation you need - including groom and groomsmen boutonnières, corsages for moms, ceremony and reception décor, and a tossing bouquet if you plan to keep your own.

You may have to pick and choose or forego certain floral arrangements. For instance, if you can’t afford lavish centerpieces, then use candles or other displays for your centerpieces and save the flowers for your bouquet and aisle décor.

Or use the ceremony flowers in your reception. There’s often a gap between the ceremony and reception, so someone could take the wedding flowers and arrange them on the tables for the reception.

Before you skimp and go with fake flowers, understand that it sometimes costs more to go the fake route than it does to go real.

Choose your wedding flowers with your color scheme in mind and be flexible when it comes to choosing the exact type of flower - if you’re willing to take substitutes, then you’ll find you can probably afford to have real blooms on your big day.

Yes, says emptiness, you have at last crossed my threshold.

Middle age can be a challenging time for dating and yet at the same time you may feel exhilarated to get out there and meet people. Unfortunately the media wants to snuff out your excitement because you no longer look 20 years old. Next time you turn on your television you are likely to see ads telling you that in order for you to be seen as attractive you must be young or at least looking younger than you actually are. These advertisers have products that will magically change a 55 year-old face to look like a 20 year-old face. I know you are not going to want to hear this but the truth is no creams or gels are going to stop the aging process, you know this anyway. If that’s true, why do so many middle-aged people keep buying these products and spending so much money on trying to look young? Hey, what’s wrong with looking your age anyway?

During middle age men and women begin to feel a loss of control over their physical appearance. They still feel the same on the inside while their outer body is changing. Unfortunately these physical changes can negatively impact your self-esteem.

To understand what you are feeling inside, keep in mind our culture worships youth and beauty and is even obsessed with it. The youth obsessed culture hits women’s self-esteem much harder than men. Did you ever notice how many television shows have the older distinguished looking man hooking up with a beautiful woman much younger than he is? At the same time derogatory jokes are told about the middle-aged woman’s body and supposed lack of attractiveness to men. Consider how women are bombarded by these messages everyday. It makes a woman want to through the television right out the window!

So what do you do about it? For starters stand up for yourself and consciously reject the messages. Don’t let the media interfere with way you view yourself. Remember they are just trying to sell you creams and cosmetics. Why feel ashamed over an aging body. We cannot control the aging process and it is important to remember no one escapes the process. This is a natural part of the human life cycle.

The second step is to look inside yourself and admire the beautiful qualities you have. Focus on the inner person you are. Middle age can be a good time to clarify for yourself just what your values are. Look at all of the talents you have developed and the wisdom you have acquired during your life. Remember you bring this rich body of experiences and wisdom to your relationships.

In middle age we are never going to be able to meet the standards of beauty as defined by the media and our youth obsessed culture. So let’s nourish and love our selves and our bodies and deepen our individual self -respect. Once we feel good about who we are we will feel more confident when dating and we will attract someone who shares our values and view of the world.
