About Me

I would like to welcome you to this blog and let you know a bit about me. My name is Christina and I am not a therapist or other "expert" on sex and relationships. I am simply a woman who loves life, love, intimacy, romance and sex. I believe that life is all about never-ending learning and exploration. I am a wife and mother who has discovered through her experiences, a crystal clear understanding of what is truly important and maybe more importantly, what is not. I have been married since 1994 and have children ranging from 7 years old to 21 years old. I have found ways to maintain a happy marriage and passionate sex life with my husband, all while raising a family, managing finances and daily stresses and even overcoming more than one life threatening situation. I have often been the "go to" person for friends, who expressed admiration for my relationship with my partner and family and seek the same for their lives. One of my best friends, Bonnie, often collaborates with me on topics. Together we would like to invite you to join us on a journey to find a place for passion in all aspects of life.

over-stimulated and desensitized?

Life today is so busy and there is so much stimulation, many of us have learned to tune things out just to be able to cope with it all.  Computers, cell phones and hectic lives have all played a part in this.  These things are great tools at times, but other times they become one more thing that pulls us from our partners, our own inner peace and the ability to be in the moment.

Try setting aside a bit of time each day where you step away from the technology and the chaos and truly unwind and be in the moment. 

Plan a date with your partner where you will devote a specific amount of time, say 20 minutes at least, where you will focus on stimulation of a pleasant nature.   A sensual massage is a great tool for this exercise.  Spend time using different intensities of pressure, caresses to firm pressure.  Stimulate every part of the body, not just the areas that you commonly gravitate to.  Really focus on what you are feeling and the differences in the kinds of touch.  Take turns giving and receiving, being totally present in that moment. 

Music can be a helpful tool to tune out some of the noise that bombards us.  Instrumental is best due to lack of vocal stimulation.  Listen to the music, let it keep one portion of your brain distracted, so you can notice a bit of nature.

Notice the patterns of color in the bark of the tree.  See how the breeze moves the branches and the leaves.  Watch a bird or butterfly, how they move and float on the air currents. 

These little things are so often missed and they are truly miracles, each and every one.

When we learn to tune into these subtleties, instead of tuning them out, we will automatically put ourselves into the flow of nature and of the universe.  Positive things will begin to flow more into your life when you notice and appreciate all the miracles.
