I've found this works really great for removing even waterproof mascara. Be careful not to get it <i>in </i>your eyes. Supposedly, it helps your lashes grow longer and thicker as well.</div>

<b>Use conditioner when you shave</b> instead of shave gel . </div>
<br />
If you have really sensitive skin like me, this will leave you with a silky smooth shave and little or no razor burn. This also works really well for the hair down there and will leave less bumps and burn, too, because of the added moisturizer in conditioner.<br />
<br />
I love it because I can buy the cheap 70 cent conditioner and it lasts a while and I'm finding it's way more effective and much better on my skin than the $4 shave gel, anyway.<br />

<br />
Greeting your partner with affection communicates their importance to you while reminding them of the good feelings you share when you’re in each other’s company.

Our “rituals of connections are crucial,” because they serve not only to re-establish the connection with our partners, but also to protect our relationships from betrayal. “The parting and reunion [moments] turn out to be really important,” asserts Dr. Gottman. Attention spent on each other in transitional junctures communicates that “you’re important to me, and when you come back at the end of the day, it’s an event. You matter to me.”<div class="blogger-post-footer">**Thank you for subscribing!

<br />
<a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/search/label/Masturbation" target="_blank">Masturbation </a>can be a great tool in boosting your desire and enjoyment during sex. As our <a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/2013/02/guest-post-taking-matters-into-my-own.html" target="_blank">guest post mentioned</a>, it has greatly enhanced her desire and intimacy with her husband. We've featured a <a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/search/label/Masturbation" target="_blank">couple other posts about masturbation</a> as well and some of the readers comments on these have been wonderful. If you're struggling with a low libido or struggling to orgasm, masturbation is one tool you could possibly use.<br />
<br />
32% of our readers that have participated in our poll on the sidebar either said "Ewww! You said the M word" or "I wouldn't know how".<br />
<br />
Masturbation can occur in a variety of settings. You can masturbate alone or take part in what's referred to in the therapy field as "mutual masturbation". This means that you can direct your partner to do what feels comfortable to you either by word or by moving his hand <i>or </i>you can both masturbate together, but separately.<br />
<br />
I firmly believe that every woman should be aware of her <a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/2011/01/sexual-response-cycle.html" target="_blank">anatomy </a>as a starting point. If you were the kind of girl to never look at that page in your health book of anatomy and grew squeamish at the thought of sex ed, then you really, really need to check out the link above. Please know about your clitoris and where it is. Did you know there are more nerve endings on a clitoris than a penis? <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0385498411/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0385498411&linkCode=as2&tag=gwinlo-20">Woman: An Intimate Geography</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=gwinlo-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0385498411" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> is a great book to become familiar with your body and instill in you some pride about being a woman.<br />
<br />
Once you have the understanding of your anatomy, learn about the <a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/2011/01/sexual-response-cycle.html" target="_blank">sexual response cycle</a> and how it typically works for a female. Some parts may feel uncomfortable or weird. It's normal to lubricate, it's normal to feel tense, some women even feel like they are about to pee. Just know the stages and don't freak out about your body's natural reaction. The SRC is a very natural part of life.<br />
<br />
If you're going to try masturbating, you can include your partner or do it on your own. Whatever you choose, just make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed. You can use a <a href="http://www.pntrac.com/t/Sj9LQkREP0pKREdIP0pIRkhJ?website=177581" target="_blank">vibrator </a>if you'd like or you could also use your partner and/or yourself for stimulation. Some say that a vibrator is the best way to go at first while others argue that it's way too powerful and difficult to not have that control. Just go with what feels best to you. You may want <a href="http://www.pntrs.com/t/RUBMSEVFQ0BLS0VISUBLSUdJSg?website=177581" target="_blank">lubricant </a>nearby if you don't lubricate well. You could also try just going over your underwear and not touching directly. There's no right or wrong way.<br />
<br />
Your mind is a very powerful tool so use it! Often women are more psychologically aroused by romance and other kind gestures, but women can also be aroused by things they see or fantasize about as well. Use whatever works for you in the moment.<br />
<br />
Some tips:<br />
<ul>
<li>Allow yourself to relax and unwind.</li>
<li>Be in a place that is peaceful to you. Some have suggested a bath or shower or bed.</li>
<li>Be in a comfortable position. Many women suggest lying on their stomach or on their back.</li>
<li><a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/2010/06/be-like-master-yoda.html" target="_blank">Use your mind, let go and fantasize a bit</a>. <a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/search?q=fantasies" target="_blank">Fantasies </a>can include your husband- it doesn't have to be some elaborate fetish or situation. Wherever your mind brings you. Just let it in and go with it.</li>

<li><a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/2011/05/shy-erotica.html#comment-form" target="_blank">Here's another list</a> of ideas to add variety and spice things up.</li>
<li>Allow yourself to see what feels best to you. Guide your partner. Be direct with him. Try <a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/search?q=sensate+focus" target="_blank">sensate focus</a> over a period of a couple days or weeks.</li>
<li>Figure out what gets you in the mood. If you're watching a movie or reading a book and feel a bit turned on, hold on to that feeling. What did you like about it?</li>
<li>Babeland sells some <a href="http://www.pjtra.com/t/Sj9LQkREP0pKREdIP0pIRkhJ?url=http%3A%2F%2Fadult.babeland.com%2Fsearch%3Fasug%3D%26w%3Derotica&website=177581" target="_blank">"Best of Erotica" Books</a> to get you in the mood that readers have raved about. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0451202007/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0451202007&linkCode=as2&tag=gwinlo-20">For Yourself : The Fulfillment of Female Sexuality</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=gwinlo-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0451202007" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> is another book one of our readers suggested.</li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Let me start by saying that my husband and I have always had
a great sex life, but along the way we’ve learned that we can always use
improvement in order to make our sex life even more fun and exciting. After
nearly 10 years of marriage and two kids later, I can say something that I
never thought I’d say - masturbation has
greatly improved our sex life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I must preface this by saying that masturbation is
relatively new for me. I didn’t masturbate growing up, and in our early years
of marriage, I didn’t give it any consideration. My husband had a regular habit
of masturbating (of course!) and when we were engaged, he wanted me to get a
vibrator in hopes that I would start my own habit of masturbating. So I
purchased a <a href="http://www.pntrac.com/t/Sj9LQkREP0pKREdIP0pIRkhJ?website=177581">vibrator</a>. Not for myself but for him, and I still remember how
unattractive it was. It was big, pink and just plain ugly. Needless to say its
services were never put to use. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fast-forward a few years. After having our first child, we
revisited the vibrator topic. As you know, intercourse is out of the question
both physically and mentally for those first few postpartum weeks, but once the
romance starts to return and the sex drive is heating back up, let’s face it,
sex is still not that great. About four weeks after our first child, I was
ready to go, but sex was often uncomfortable and even painful at times. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a result, we went on the search for a new sexier
vibrator, but this time it was me who wanted it; I wasn’t simply doing it for
my husband. It was the best purchase we have ever made for our sex life, and it
allowed me to see for the first time that sex toys can be sexy, fun, and very
beneficial.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am still not one to regularly masturbate alone, but I love
doing it in conjunction with my husband. There are many occasions where neither
of us feels like having sex, but the thought of only masturbating seems very
appealing. No need to find the right position or worry about having enough
time. It is fast, easy, and effective. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We masturbate together about twice a week, and it has
improved our sex life in more ways than one. I have learned so much about my
body through masturbation, including how to better use fantasy, how to have multiple
orgasms, and how to better identify G-spot vs. clitoral orgasms. There is
something empowering about taking my sexual needs into my own hands, literally.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I look back, maybe I should have given that big, ugly
<a href="http://www.pntrac.com/t/Sj9LQkREP0pKREdIP0pIRkhJ?website=177581">vibrator </a>a chance!<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
If you're skeptical about lingerie, here are some great reasons to try it out:<br />
<ul>
<li>It can help get you in the mood</li>
<li>It helps increase the anticipation</li>
<li>It helps increase desire</li>
<li>You can feel sexy</li>
<li>It adds a little variety</li>
<li>It will get him more excited</li>
<li>You can feel beautiful</li>
<li>You can feel "dressed up"</li>
</ul>
<div>
If you're thinking, <i>but I'm not one of those tiny girls with huge boobs that should wear lingerie, </i>then get that thought out of your head. Those girls are <u>very </u>few and far between. Your husband married YOU. Your husband is attracted to YOU. YOU need to show that you love and appreciate your body how it is. YOU need to take control and give yourself some positive messages about how you look. <a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/2011/03/feelin-sexy-friday-embrace-muffin-top.html">Embrace the Muffin Top</a> (we all have)! <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=427734&b=79585&m=12503&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Eyandy%2Ecom%2FShopping%2Fproducts%2Fcategory%5F16%2Easp">Plus size women </a>still look sexy and can order lingerie. Be daring and try some out!<br />

If you missed out last year, make sure you create your very own <a href="http://www.realhousewivesofbuckscounty.com/2012/01/perfect-valentine-gift-game-of-love.html" target="_blank"><b>Game of Love</b></a> for Valentine's Day (It's in 24 days, by the way!).<br />
<br />
You can just use a flat sheet so you can put it on your bed whenever you're ready to go if you don't want to use a fitted sheet. Then, create your own game board. The number of squares will be the number of "moves" you'll have to fill in. Basically, you come up with some moves to get him in the mood, tease each other a bit and have some fun. You don't have to wait until Valentine's Day to give him this gift, either.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In case you're wondering, here are <a href="http://www.realhousewivesofbuckscounty.com/2012/01/perfect-valentine-gift-game-of-love.html" target="_blank">The Official Game of Love Rules</a>:<br />
1. The player will roll a die, but the highest number can be 3 (so divide by 2 or the game goes too fast!)<br />
2. Each square has a 1 1/2 minute time limit<br />
3. No getting carried away- you have to stop at 90 seconds and roll again (the hubs might fight you on that one)<br />
4. Only one person "plays" your role is just the game "facilitator"<br />
5. The Final square is "Score" and you can't skip ahead (if ya know what I mean)<br />
<br />
You can steal some ideas from <a href="http://www.realhousewivesofbuckscounty.com/2012/01/perfect-valentine-gift-game-of-love.html" target="_blank">Monica here</a> or this list:<br />

If you want some <a href="http://www.pntrac.com/t/Sj9LQkREP0pKREdIP0pIRkhJ?website=177581" target="_blank"><b>toys</b> go here</a>. If you want to find some new, affordable <b>lingerie</b><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=427734&b=79585&m=12503&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Eyandy%2Ecom%2Fvalentine%2Ds%2Dday%2Dlingerie%2Easpx" target="_blank"><b> </b>go here</a>.

<br />
Hello my fellow GwenInLove readers!
Lauren here from <a href="http://reallifeexpatwife.blogspot.com/">reallifeexpatwife.blogspot.com</a>. As usual, I was reading through Gwen’s blog and came across her post asking for guest bloggers. As soon as I read the request for someone to write about “How to Enjoy Sex through Infertility”, I jumped at the chance. Here’s our story.<br />
<br />
My husband Jason and I have been married for a year and a half. I am 28 and he is 40. We met while dressed up at a Halloween party and had no clue of our age difference until our very first date where I found out more about him than I had bargained for. During that date, he spilled the beans about previously being married for 17 years, having two teenagers and about his divorce. I’m not sure if he told me that night or soon thereafter but he also made mention of the fact that he was snipped at the ripe old age of 20 thinking that he was done (he was a young daddy). I wasn’t concerned in the slightest because I had just gotten out of my previous relationship and wasn’t looking for anything serious at all. It didn’t even phase me because “it wasn’t like I was going to marry him, right?” It’s funny how things work out, isn’t it?<br />
<br />
After dating for a little over a month, Jason told me that he was being transferred to Singapore for work. We discussed parting ways shortly after he found out so neither of us would get too attached or hurt but neither of us were ready because we were having so much fun. During one discussion I jokingly said, “Well, why don’t I just come with you then?” He said that if I was serious, he would make it happen. Three months later, in March, we were engaged. Then off we went to Singapore in April. We were so in love, happily engaged, and seeking adventure without a care in the world. We spoke about having our very own family one day and were very excited with what the future would hold.<br />
<br />
When we spoke about having kids (before we were married) we planned that Jason would have a vasectomy reversal the fall after our wedding. It can take up to a year for the procedure to work and we knew we wanted kids sooner than later. Jason had it stuck in his head that he is an old man and didn’t want to look like the Grandpa at their high school graduation (like that could ever happen!). At this point, we had moved from Singapore and were living in Salzburg, Austria so we started researching doctors who were experienced in the field. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that at 27 years old I would be hoping, praying to have a miracle baby with my sweet husband.
In November 2011, Jason had his procedure done. After seeing the pain he went through I couldn’t help but think how much he loves me. Seriously, I felt so bad for him and wish that pain on no one. The doctor told us that because he is so young and healthy, it would most likely work and that when he felt better we could start going at it.
When Jason finally let me near that region, we starting trying. It was so fun and exciting thinking that this time could be it. Rather than being discouraged, each month brought more excitement because it just had to work sooner or later. The doctor said so. I must have taken six or seven pregnancy tests before I started to feel like something just wasn’t right. Why was something that was supposed to be so right feel so wrong?<br />
<br />
We went back to the doctor the following summer and found out that the procedure didn’t work yet and that he was still shooting blanks. Here’s the kicker though- the doctor said that it could clear out and work eventually or maybe it just didn’t work at all. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that it wouldn’t work. It had to work. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) was tossed around in the very beginning but I was just certain that the reversal would work. We talked about our options and decided that instead of waiting to see if it would eventually work (maybe the goop just didn’t clear out of the pipes yet) that we would start our road through IVF. We decided that we would enjoy the summer and if I still wasn’t pregnant come the end of August, we would start IVF in September.<br />
<br />
In June, we came back to the States and found an amazing doctor we wanted to work with. Jason had his little procedure done (called a sperm aspiration) and all his little guys were frozen in case we needed them come September. I’m surprised he even let a needle near that area again. See, I told you he loves me!!
<br />
<br />
August eventually came and I was still not pregnant. We came back to the States in September where I went through my exams, rounds of fertility drugs, and then had my egg retrieval and finally the egg transfer. Can I just tell you how emotional the process was? Especially the dreaded 2ww (two week wait) to see if the egg/s actually took. I took two pregnancy tests trying not to be discouraged before getting my BFP (big fat positive)!!<br />
<br />
So here I am, 20 weeks pregnant with our little miracle baby. Looking back at all of the obstacles that we had to go through to get to this point, I am reminded how blessed I am and that each and every baby is a miracle no matter how it gets here. I would be lying if I said that I didn’t wish we could have a baby the “normal” way but going through something like this has made our relationship so much stronger and will forever tell our child how much he or she was wanted.<br />
<br />
With that being said, we thoroughly enjoyed each other through out our whole infertility adventure because we never knew when or if his reversal would work. We figured if it was meant to be, it would be. So who knows, after this little one maybe by the grace of God his reversal will have unclogged and maybe, just maybe we can get pregnant again the natural way. All I know is that after baby number two, Jason said he is going to get snipped again. I can’t even believe this crazy talk of him wanting someone to yet again mess with his manhood. I mean who knows, what if he wants more? ;)<br />
<br />
So the moral of the story is, just keep on loving each other. Enjoy each embrace, each intimate moment together because you never know when or how your little miracle baby will get here. Best of luck to those who are planning to be or are on this crazy journey. I know exactly how you feel and wish you nothing but tons of baby dust!! Much love to you all. xx<div class="blogger-post-footer">**Thank you for subscribing!

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UkmSDcfiDrE/UPYr-Qnkz9I/AAAAAAAAAos/PPP-q4goghg/s1600/Love+Dare.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UkmSDcfiDrE/UPYr-Qnkz9I/AAAAAAAAAos/PPP-q4goghg/s320/Love+Dare.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
A few years ago, somebody told me about the movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1129423/"><i>Fireproof</i> </a>and encouraged me to watch it. It's rare to find a movie that has good morals and talks about faith as well. I admit that this movie was a bit cheesy, but it was also very powerful and moving. I love seeing marriages work hard through tough times and this movie shows this couples journey together and how they come out stronger in the end. I think it's free to stream on on <a href="http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Fireproof/70106271?locale=en-US">Netflix</a> now if you need a good cuddly, cheap, romantic date night.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The theme throughout this movie involves a <a href="http://lovedarestories.com/">Love Dare</a>. It's 40 Days of putting your spouse first complete with a task as well as a scripture and rationale. It's a great way to strengthen your marriage- whether you're thinking about divorce or in the newlywed stage. You can get a shortened version of the Love Dare <a href="http://www.shenzhoufellowship.org/main2/files/old/SpecialTopics/TheLoveDare.pdf">here</a>. Give it a shot!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Has anybody done the Love Dare? Who's willing to try it?</b><br />
<br />
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
<u>Day 1: Love is patient</u></div>
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.<br />
—Ephesians 4:2<br />
<div style="font-weight: bold;">
TODAY’S DARE</div>
The first part of this dare is fairly simple. Although love is communicated in a number of ways, our words often reflect the condition of our heart. For the next day, resolve to demonstrate patience and to <b>say nothing negative to your spouse at all</b>. If the temptation arises, choose not to say anything. It’s better to hold your tongue...<br />

I've had a few requests for the following:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>How to enjoy sex through infertility</li>
<li>How to enjoy sex after miscarriage</li>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Make sure your priorities are straight this Holiday Season!</span><br />

'Tis the season of holiday stress and strain. Are you worried that you might actually make it through the holidays with your marriage intact? Fear not!! Here are 7 ways to guarantee that your marriage will suffer this holiday season, and crash and burn for the new year!<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /><ol style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b>Go to as many holiday activities and family festivities as you possibly can.</b> As long as you are busy and don't take time to enjoy the season with your spouse, nothing else matters. Busy, busy, busy!</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b>When you are with your parents and family, ignore your spouse</b>. Christmas is about family, not your spouse anyway, right? If you want to add some spicy stress goodness, make sure you discuss politics whenever possible. Or how bad your sex life is. </li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b>Talk with your family and friends about your marriage problems, especially your spouse's issues</b>. Christmas is about sharing, so share away. This inconsiderate openness will surely deal a holiday blow to your marriage. </li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b>Buy whatever you want</b>. It's Christmas time! This is what credit cards are for. I mean, debt is a great way to screw things up in your marriage, so spend away.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b>Make your traditions more important than your spouse's traditions.</b> Nothing says "I love you" during the holidays like sharing in each other's traditions. So make sure that you laugh off your spouse's silly old traditions. Add a little sarcasm or good old fashioned contempt, and your marriage is sure to suffer!</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b><b>Don't talk about concerns or issues that may arise.</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> The holidays are no time to discuss issu</span></b>es! Bottle it up and let it explode at a later, more inconvenient time. </li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;"><b>Don't take time for yourself</b>. The holidays should be about sacrificing you own sanity and health for others. Plus your irritable mood will rub off on your spouse. There will be plenty of time to relax next year after the divorce.</li>

She posted a great idea called <a href="http://loveactually-blog.blogspot.com/2010/11/12-lays-of-christmas.html">The 12 Lays of Christmas</a> a couple years ago. If you are tight on money this year or if you just want to spice things up a bit, head over there and check it out. Basically, the idea is to have sex every day for 12 days leading to Christmas. Now, who wouldn't want that?! She has a great printable to go with each day so head over there and take advantage of this free idea!</div>

A friend once told me great advice to "Just focus on keeping one room clean because after that it's just too overwhelming- especially after having kids." I tend to focus on the bedroom (and the kitchen). It's nice to have a place to just relax and feel calm.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Less is more. Keep it simple and clean.</li>
<li>Go to the dollar store and get some tea light candles and rose petals and perhaps some sheer sheets to hang over or around your bed</li>

You now know a bit about personal care, intimacy and sex positions during pregnancy (see <a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/search?q=pregnancy" target="_blank">here</a>) But what about after the baby?<br />
<br />
I don't know about you, but I didn't really hear much about how your body recovers and how a sex life can continue post-pregnancy.<br />
<br />
First off, let's just talk <a href="http://www.pregnantchicken.com/pregnant-chicken-blog/2010/9/23/happily-after-giving-birth-10-things-they-dont-tell-you.html" target="_blank">logistics</a>.<br />
<br />
You have a newborn baby which likely means....<br />
<ul>
<li>You aren't getting very much sleep</li>
<li>The sleep you do get is in short spurts</li>
<li>You rarely have time to shower and take care of yourself</li>
<li>Your breasts have now taken on a whole new purpose and are more sensitive than you ever thought they would be</li>
<li>Your breasts will hurt. Breastfeeding is hard and takes a while to get used to.</li>
<li>You will likely have a really heavy period that lasts 2-6 weeks</li>
<li>Your crotch will be a mess. You may have torn or had an episiotomy.</li>
<li>You will be terrified to squat on the pot and poop.</li>
<li>Not only will you be terrified to use the restroom, you might be a wee bit scared to let anything in that general area as well</li>
<li>You will still have pregnancy fat for a while. It took 9 months to put on and will probably take that long to get off.</li>
<li>You will be on an emotional roller coaster. You thought pregnancy was bad? Just wait. You could end up being a constant fountain of tears.</li>
<li><a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/2012/01/birth-control-options.html" target="_blank">Birth control</a> could be difficult to figure out after having a baby. There are a variety of options. Make sure you talk to your health care provider. And yes, you can become pregnant right after having a baby even if you're breastfeeding.</li>
<li>Most health care providers suggest not having sex for 6 weeks after the birthing process</li>
<li>You will be worried about your baby and find it difficult to have an entire conversation with your husband</li>
<li>..... and the list could go on and on.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Having a baby is just hard! It's hard emotionally, physically, mentally and relationally.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you have any, some or most of the typical baby adjustments going on, it could be hard to even have time to think about sex or even some quiet romance between you and your husband.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let me tell you this little secret... If you have a good relationship with your husband, parenting will be so much easier than if you don't.<b> Nourish the relationship you have with your spouse. Get out on dates. Make time for each other. Don't neglect each other. Communicate. </b>That is my best advice for sex during the fourth trimester. Make each other a priority. Don't make the baby the only focus of your life and push your husband to the back burner. He will help out more and having a baby will be more manageable as you remember to include him in your life.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
Husbands have a tough role during the fourth trimester. They don't quite know what you're going through and are trying their best to adjust to fatherhood and continue being supportive of your role as a mother. Be kind to your spouse.</div>
<div>
<br />
A few other tips I have for you...<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>If your doctor strongly recommends you wait 6 weeks, wait 6 weeks. You don't want to risk a tear or infection. There are other ways to satisfy both you and <a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/2012/07/when-hes-in-mood-and-you-arent.html">him</a>.</li>
<li>Take it slow when you have sex again post-baby. Basically, it will be like it's your <a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/2011/12/what-i-wish-id-known-before-my-wedding.html">first time</a> again. Relax. Use <a href="http://www.pjtra.com/t/Sj9LQkREP0pKREdIP0pIRkhJ?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babeland.com%2Fl%2F15&website=177581">lube</a>. It's common for there to be some dryness with all of the hormone changes. You may also notice you aren't as tight anymore. Do some <a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/2012/01/giveaway-hold-on-to-me.html">kegels</a>. Take control of your encounter. If you had a c-section, your abs will likely hurt a lot so just take it slow. You don't want to hurt yourself.</li>
<li>You will be interrupted by a crying baby. It's just a matter of when. Men tend to react physically more to this than women at times. I heard some people that called their baby crying the "penis alarm" because they would inevitably be interrupted and the man would lose his erection. It just happens. Laugh it off and resume later.</li>
<li>Visit a <a href="http://www.ilca.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3337">lactation specialist</a> to get help breastfeeding. It should only hurt for a few weeks. If it's still hurting, just go get some feedback. Breastfeeding also helps you burn the baby fat faster than working out and helps your uterus shrink back. Once you get breastfeeding down, it will be easier for you to realize that breasts can be for fun <i>and </i>function. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MI648C/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005MI648C&linkCode=as2&tag=gwinlo-20">Lanolin </a>works wonders.</li>
<li>Shower, get dressed and take good care of yourself. You will be more in the mood when you are well taken care of. Find some <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=79625&u=427734&m=12503&urllink=&afftrack=" target="_blank">lingerie </a>that you feel good in. Lace does wonders for stretch marks...</li>
<li><a href="http://gweninlove.blogspot.com/2011/03/feelin-sexy-friday-embrace-muffin-top.html">Don't get all caught up in your stretch marks, baggy skin, the fact you can't fit in your pre-pregnancy pants etc</a>. You just birthed a baby! Your husband is likely thrilled that you carried that baby and happy to have the baby around. He doesn't care that your body is changed and neither should you.</li>
<li>Track when the baby tends to sleep and plan a little bedroom retreat during a nap time. Your hormones will be a bit crazy and having sex usually tends to make you feel a bit better and like you can deal with life again or if you're highly anxious and having trouble sleeping, maybe it will make you sleepy.</li>
<li>Accept other people's offers to help and watch the baby a bit- even if it's just for an hour nap for yourself or for a free meal. Don't feel like you have to do everything perfectly as a new mom. Nobody actually does everything on their<a href="http://pinterest.com/gweninlove/"> Pinterest Board</a>.</li>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X2wKdkzRHEw/UA-BP1EepXI/AAAAAAAAAl0/yU3KDtjQZCI/s1600/man+in+mood.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X2wKdkzRHEw/UA-BP1EepXI/AAAAAAAAAl0/yU3KDtjQZCI/s1600/man+in+mood.jpg" /></a></div>
When asked to write this blog post for Gwen in Love, I was excited and a little terrified. I am well versed in the “in’s and out’s” of sex, but writing about it so publicly is a whole new thing for me. My husband and I have been married for over 3 years and in that time we have had a child and have another on the way. Needless to say, I’m not always “in the mood” when he is. So that is why we have BOTH discovered a great love for <b>hand jobs</b>.<br />
<br />
I know many women don’t enjoy giving these and many more feel uncomfortable while doing it. So here are a few tips I have to make your experience and his, a little more enjoyable.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Remember, this time is as much about you as it is about him. Don’t laugh. I’m serious. Once I realized this, it made it so much better. You aren't just giving him his jollies so he will roll over and go to bed.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">You are totally in control. You can make this experience as long or as short as you want. YOU are the one that gets to decide.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Go in with a good attitude. If you begrudgingly start rubbing your husband, he feels that, in more than one way. It will take it longer for him to enjoy his time, and chances are will just make you bitter.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Take the time to feel sexy beforehand. Put on some <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=427734&b=79585&m=12503&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Eyandy%2Ecom%2F">lingerie</a>, roll on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LCETUO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000LCETUO&linkCode=as2&tag=gwinlo-20">pheromone enhancer</a> and do your <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004DVVS2Q/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004DVVS2Q&linkCode=as2&tag=gwinlo-20">makeup</a>. The better you feel going in, the better he will feel.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Now, let’s get to the good stuff! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>What is it that some women do that make their husbands beg for more?</b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">As my husband says, “If you aren’t using 2 hands, you are doing it wrong.” I assure you, your husband has more than enough down there to keep both your hands incredibly busy.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Mix it up. Don’t do one thing for too long. That can get boring (and sometimes painful.)</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Play with his balls. Push them up, pull them down (not too hard) just make sure he knows that you know they are there.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Treat it almost as a massage. Rub his legs, and every surrounding area. Push his balls up while you massage him. There is also a <a href="http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/advice/touch-perineum">spot beneath his balls that is hard and VERY sensitive</a>. Rub that as well.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Penis tips? Don’t switch your hands up too much or too little. Find the balance your mate likes, and stick with it. Of course there is the normal hand hold, somewhat similar to a man holding a remote. Maybe try using both hands on his penis and moving them up and down at different times. (A similar motion as you would have to milking a cow. Sorry for the visual.) Also you could use both hands wrapped around him traditionally at a time. Covers more area. Don’t put him at a bad angle. That just makes him hurt. Don’t focus just on the tip, that can get painful!</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://www.gopjn.com/t/Sj9LQkREP0pKREdIP0pIRkhJ?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babeland.com%2Fcondoms-personal-lubricants%2Fl%2F56&website=177581">Lube, lube, lube, lube, lube</a>! (<a href="http://www.pntrs.com/t/Sj9LQkREP0pKREdIP0pIRkhJ?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babeland.com%2Fstore%2Fproductdetails.aspx%3Fproductid%3D1663%26colorid%3D648&website=177581">H20 </a>is great for hand jobs. Not sticky, water based and washed off easily.)</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Let your hands wander. One hand on his unmentionable while another is on his penis</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Let your eyes show him how into things you are.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Sitting between his legs when he is laying down really does seem to be the easiest for me to perform this pleasure</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">At the very end when you know he’s about to…ya know, pull both his balls down. Big crowd pleaser.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Afterwards don’t just dash off to wash up. Linger for a second. Let your hands stay where they are for about 10 seconds. It lets him know you enjoyed your time with him.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">If you want to throw in some toys or you're feeling a bit lazy, invest in a <a href="http://www.pntra.com/t/Sj9LQkREP0pKREdIP0pIRkhJ?url=http%3A%2F%2Fadult.babeland.com%2Fsearch%3Fw%3Dmasturbation%2520sleeve&website=177581">Masturbation Sleeve</a> and surprise him with it. He'll love the added sensation.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
I hope I was able to give you some good tips. It’s harder to talk someone through these things than I knew! Above all, enjoy it. Pick a time when you are relaxed and maybe offer to do that for him. It’s not the same when a guy has to ask for it all the time. And as anything else in this world, <b>practice makes perfect</b>!<div class="blogger-post-footer">**Thank you for subscribing!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Husband and I recently moved and no longer have upstairs or downstairs neighbors. Oh. My. Gosh. It is SO freeing!<br />
<br />
I never realized how much I worried about being too loud or good timing of sex until having the freedom we have here. It's wonderful. I used to worry about not having sex too late or too early or giggling or making any of the other sounds accompanied with enjoying each other. I think my libido was stunted simply by knowing other people were around and could hear. We can now enjoy tickle fights, afternoon delights, middle-of-the-night encounters (which we had only done <i>once </i>in our previous years of marriage due to my worrying about neighbors) and even just talking in bed before falling asleep. It's amazing! I love having time to him and not worrying about others hearing our conversations or anything else.<br />
<br />
I<span style="background-color: white;"> hope that some of you that are still sharing walls and ceilings will eventually be able to enjoy the freedom of having your own place.</span><br />

He always knows exactly what to say</strong> – Some people, male and female alike, simply have a knack for words. While being suspicious of someone based solely on the fact that they’re articulate isn’t usually a good idea, when his lines seem so perfect that they almost sound rehearsed, there’s a good chance that they probably are.</li>

He’s never ruffled or agitated</strong> – Even the most confident man will be a bit nervous in the presence of a woman he’s interested in. When a guy never seems flustered or anxious, never makes an awkward move and always maintains a cool-as-a-cucumber exterior, it’s a red flag that he’s not really feeling those tremor-inducing butterflies.....</li>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Lap dance tips:</span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Use a chair that has a higher back and no arms</li>
<li>Tell him he can't touch you while you are dancing. Make sure you tell him before hand because he will probably try at least a few times which could throw off your groove.</li>
<li>Tell him that you might reposition him and that when you do it he should obey so it doesn't sow you down</li>
<li>Have confidence and look him in the eye.</li>
<li>If you can't look at his eyes, look at his forehead between his eyes</li>
<li>Mix things up. Stand close to him or on the chair, then back away or walk around. Keep him guessing.</li>
</ul>
<br />

<u style="background-color: white;"><b><br /></b></u>
<u style="background-color: white;"><b>Here are some moves to get you going:</b></u><br />
<br />
<b>Walk around drag</b><span style="background-color: white;">: Walk around behind him and lightly drag your hand up his arm, around his neck, and back down his other arm.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>Kiss Miss</b>: Psych your guy out so he thinks you are going to kiss him. Kneel with your right knee between his legs and place your right arm around his neck. Place your left knee on his right thigh. Most of your weight will be on the chair. Use his neck for leverage and lean back and slowly come in, scooping forward as if to kiss him but glide right past his ear. Kiss or bite his ear or whisper something if you want to.</span><br />
<br />
<b>Leg show</b>: place a foot between his knees. Slowly caress your leg with both hands starting up at the top of your thigh going all the way down to your foot.
<br />
<b>Grind</b>: Sit either with your back to him or your front to him. Maintain eye contact if your front is to him. Grind backwards and forwards or in circles while you’re sitting on his lap.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>Stand up</b>: Place right foot between his legs and stand up, placing your left foot on his right thigh. With your left hand jerk his head down, gyrate your hips, push his head back and step down.</span><br />
<br />
<b>The Melt</b>: Sit with your weight on him and your cheeks touching. Slowly slide down his body, like you are melting to the floor. Keep your right foot on the ground and fold your left leg so you are kneeling on it. Then when you get to the ground you will be able to crawl away easier
<br />
<b>Chest Press</b>: Crawl up to him and place a hand on each thigh. Slowly press and drag your chest up his knees and lower thighs.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><b>Zipper Shock</b>: reach down and grab his jeans zipper between your teeth. Jerk your head back several times and try to lower his zipper some.</span><br />
<br />
