When a guy gets turned down over and over again (during the seduction process) in his relationship with his wife (or girlfriend) he often attempts to make adjustments.

You are about to learn the 2 deadly mistakes guys make when attempting to correct the problem with their “not in the mood” female partner.

Deadly Wife Seduction Mistake # 1

Trying to learn how to be an awesome lover. I’m referring to becoming better in bed.

This may shock the hell out of you, but it’s the wrong approach.
I’ll explain. Here is what the guy thinks:

The wrong approach: He thinks that if he becomes so good in bed, his wife will want to keep coming back for more.

Every guy thinks this. So just relax, it’s normal.

Let’s talk about why the thinking is flawed. Again, the guy thinks if he puts on a world class performance she will want it all the time. In reality, it doesn’t matter how good you are in bed if you are a lousy sexual salesman she will not buy into your offer. There is such a thing as poor salesmanship. And a poor salesman couldn’t sell hundred dollar bills for 50 cents.

Trust me, I’ve seen poor salesmen in action. And in many cases they will talk themselves out of the sale. They actually end up convincing the person not to buy. Keep this in mind: SEX is the product and SEDUCING (or the word I like to use is SEXUALLY INSPIRING) is the process of selling the product. I’ll give you another example.

Many dieters’ good intensions of sticking to three healthy meals a day are cast aside due to an attack of the munchies.

This can occur at any time during the day: while cooking the family meal, or polishing off the children’s leftovers. It usually occurs because you are tired and the body is sending signals that it needs energy or it may be that you have had a stressful day and are looking to food as a source of comfort.

Just accept that some days you will overeat but it is not a sign of failure. We all do it occasionally because we are human. Be your own best friend and don’t be tempted to call yourself names or feel down about snacking. Don’t indulge in negative, self-critical talk, but concentrate on the positive aspects of your day. Make a mental note not to buy foods that you can’t stop eating. Like. Peanuts, chips and sweets.

DANGER TIMES
Just home from work or school- a snack to cheer ourselves up; a cake to celebrate the end of the day; a biscuit or two to make us feel better; a bar of chocolate to make us feel less tired. Turn on the television and open a packet of chips.

It is a good first step to recognize why you are having a snack. Is it because you are hungry, or is it comfort food? We all eat comfort food, to a degree. If you find you are eating a lot of comforting snacks, then you want to ask yourself why. Look at the problem at its source and deal with it. Recognise that you are using comfort eating as a coping mechanism. Snacking on sweet food sends the blood sugar levels soaring, only for them to crash again, leaving you just as dissatisfied as you did before the snack. Sugar contains empty calories and is converted into fat by the body. It is a real indulgence and you don’t need it.

Would you believe someone’s boss actually brought this into the office? (Or should I say, “The Office”? It certainly looks like something the guys would order for an office party, doesn’t it?)

I love that someone - either the customer or the decorator - felt that “sexual harassment” needed to be illustrated. And I realize that the decorator can’t be expected to be Picasso or anything, but check out how far the girl’s feet are off the ground. Either that was the Spank Heard ‘Round the World, or she’s on an invisible step while Chuckles there digs for gold.

Before you ask, yes, I hear the boss got in some deep doo-doo. Can’t imagine why, though; I mean, it’s got a big red “NO” symbol over it, doesn’t it? And all those spanking demonstrations were purely for educational purposes, so really, what’s the big deal?

I don’t really have anything to say about it - it was just too bizarre not to post.

Everyone wants happiness. Happiness is the driving force behind almost all of our actions, and even when we are unhappy, we are involved with somehow changing that unhappiness into happiness for ourselves. When we are confronted with someone or something, we either have a compulsion to pull it toward us, that is; we like it or even love it. Or, we push it away, which means that we dislike it, or even hate it. We can see this pulling and pushing in every aspect of our lives as we go about making our decisions every day.

Simple things, such as making out a grocery list, is full of decisions. Should we not buy the ice cream because we are on a diet, or the steak because we are on a budget? Should we buy healthy foods that are more expensive, or rice and potatoes that we can more easily afford?

More complex things, like choosing a mate or choosing a career follow the same process of pulling or pushing. We might push away the manual labor jobs and embrace the mentally stimulating ones, or pull the beautiful men or women toward us, and push the physically unattractive away. We call this making choices, but in reality, we are trying to be happy.

The problem is, when we push away or pull toward us, this is called attachment and aversion. These two, attachment and aversion, seem to be a natural way to live, but when looked at closely, pushing and pulling is the root of our unhappiness. And as long as we push or pull, happiness will avoid us like the plague.

This statement seems to be false, because when we pull something toward us, it is a happy experience. The problem lies in the fact that we cannot continue to pull it toward us without forming a dependency of that particular person or thing, and once we become dependent, we then must control it. Otherwise, if we don’t control it, it can slip away, and we would be unhappy once more.

Burger King said Tuesday it had parted ways with an employee who was recorded taking a soapy bath in a utility sink in one of its restaurants in a video that ended up on his MySpace page.

The nearly four-minute video, which was posted online Thursday, shows the man taking the bath to celebrate his birthday. In the video, shot by another worker, the employee refers to himself only as “Mr. Unstable” and appears to be naked.

Timothy Tackett, 25, told WDTN-TV in Dayton that he is the sink-bather and that he made the video for his MySpace page. The video had been removed by Tuesday night. Tackett said he regretted taking the bath because it led to the firing of the employee who did the recording, as well as the restaurant’s shift manager.

Burger King spokeswoman Denise Wilson said earlier Tuesday that two employees involved in the incident were fired and a third quit. She declined to identify the employees or say whether the man who took the bath quit or was fired.

Tackett said he was fired.

Barack Obama and John McCain both hope Angelina Jolie can help them kick their opponents behind the way she kicked Tom Cruise’s.

E! Online reports Jolie has replaced Cruise as the lead actor for the new espionage thriller Edwin A. Salt. The script is being rewrote so the main character will be a female spy.

The movie is about a CIA spy who gets accused of spying for the Russians. It will be directed by Philip Noyce, who also did the Bone Collector.

This comes as the political website Wilshire and Washington reports the two American presidential candidates are in a scramble for Jolie’s endorsement. She is one of a few Hollywood celebs who have not yet made up their mind about whom they are supporting.

In a statement to Variety magazine, Jolie said, “I have not decided on a candidate,” Jolie says, “I am waiting to see the commitments they will make on issues like international justice, refugees and how to address the needs of children in crisis around the world.”

Her final choice, Jolie says, will depend “on issues like international justice, refugees and how to address the needs of children in crisis around the world.”

Unlike many other celebrity endorsements, Jolie’s carries the weight and influence of her extensive humanitarian work around the world, as the goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Her statement was an indication that she would be open to choosing a candidate.

To dildo or not to dildo. Whether its dildos, vibrators or sex toys in general, one thing is for certain. Women are much more at ease at discussing this subject than men. Up and down the country women are holding sex parties, where men are banned and where a wide selection of sex goodies can be obtained for the bedroom.

So why is it, that it is women that generally buy sex toys and not men? Some women purchase the old ” Rampant Rabbit” (That’s a rather large and amusing vibrator, for those of you who have never ventured into a sex shop or been invited to a sex party) solely for the purpose of using this in the privacy of their bedroom alone. This could be because they are currently without a partner and require satisfaction.

Some women buy vibrators and other sex aids to enhance their sex lives with their men. So if women are involving their men when purchasing sex toys why do some men still feel intimidated by these plastic vibrating giants? Size? Doing a better job? Because plastic cant say no? Never tires? Take it from me a female and user of a number of said items, you cant beat the real thing. There’s nothing like the human touch. Show me a vibrator that can wine and dine you, tell you that it loves you and fix your fence.

Men are more visual creatures on the other hand, some might say a bit shallow. They are aroused by pictures of scantly clad ladies, and videos or dvds of a pornographic nature. Why are women intimated by these images? Firm buttocks? Pert breasts? Toned bodies? Take it from my partner, who’s male. He says this is not reality. These women strutting their stuff across the screen are not natural to the everyday man, they are just a kind of sex aid/toy for men.

So, whats wrong with sex before marriage? “A lot of people look for the correct person, but they don’t worry about becoming the correct person.”

Would you like your future life partner to be somebody who has slept with a numerous amount of people and knows the body and intimacy of those who will in the future become strangers in your relationship?

Or, would you prefer somebody who wants to have that experience with you and only you because they know that sex is something serious?

Would you prefer spending your life with someone who has been within 50 different relationships, or with someone who has never had a boyfriend/girlfriend?

Does it not sound better if both can be able to learn form each others sexuality rather than permitting your partner to learn with others? Would it not sound better to be your partners first and last? Yours and only yours.

Not every body thinks this way. But be honest to yourself, isn’t this better than what common society tells us?

Now I understand that many might say that “nobody waits for marriage anymore”. But this is the exact same reason why we have so many problems when it comes to the topic of sex:

People will shop interminably, ask endless questions and spend a lot of money to buy today’s luxuries like big screen TV’s, VCR’s and desktop computers and laptops. And once this sophisticated electronic gear is installed, they impulsively poke at keys and buttons on the chance that they can make it work with little or no reference to the manuals. They learn to live with equipment that functions minimally. It’s of no great concern because they won’t be punished for their indifference.

In a similar way, they shrug off their physical functions. Their hurry-up world has steered them away from the performance of their physical machine so delicately designed for healthy survival on this planet. Let their cars sputter for a moment on the freeway and they waste no time heading for the repair shop. Yet, when they find themselves out of breath after climbing a flight of stairs, they disregard the symptom, preferring not to consult the body’s manual of operation.

They grab pills instead, on the chance that one of them might work. Like their half used electronic devices, their bodies remain at a low level of performance.

We are biologically wired at birth with a warranty of threescore years and ten, but we tend to ignore the fine print with its numerous disclaimers. With proper care and maintenance, we can live far beyond the warranty. When we hit the wrong key, nature makes little allowance for the error. We get stamped with the deficiency, and we have to live with it. If the error is too great we may not live.

We can live longer or die sooner. The choice is ours. We can be either active or sedentary. It has always been the ethic of bodybuilders to plumb the depths of human physical behavior to determine a lifestyle that would ensure optimum function. Truths that have existed since time began have been ignored by modern man. Our forebears must have done the right thing to have handed us the legacy of life. The whole purpose of bodybuilding was to relearn the rules of nature to re-establish of form of life commensurate with the past. Primitive cultures and previous civilizations must have been faced with the same task, and they evidently came through with flying colors.
