Sabbatical Teachings #2

Another Sunday has rolled around and it's time to share some information I came across while on Sabbatical in April.
This information I really could relate to and totally believe in. It's about sperm addiction.
"Hello my name is Debbie and I'm an addict"
"Hi Debbie"

So gals, let me know what you think of this:

In perhaps the best titled article ever, "Crying Over Spilled Semen," Psychology Today reports on a study that basically says women are addicted to semen.

The finding that women who do not use condoms during sex are less depressed and less likely to attempt suicide than are women who have sex with condoms and women who are not sexually active, leads one researcher to conclude that semen contains powerful—and potentially addictive—mood-altering chemicals.

Study author Gordon G. Gallup, Ph.D., a psychologist at the State University of New York in Albany, also found that women who routinely had intercourse without condoms became increasingly depressed as more time elapsed since their last sexual encounter. There was no such correlation for women whose partners regularly used condoms.

Gallup also found that women who did not use condoms were most likely to initiate sex and to seek out new partners as soon as a relationship ended: "These women are more vulnerable to the rebound effect, which suggests that there is a chemical dependency."

Gallup also says he's planning on examining whether "semen withdrawal" places women at an increased risk for depression. Yeah. Well I guess the best way to avoid semen addiction is to never get started. I'm sure that will go over well.

Sabbatical Teachings #1

While I was away on sabbatical I explored many more areas of sexual wonders.
I traveled to exotic sexual beds and other places. I studied wise teachers and will be recounting some of my learnings over the next few weekly posts.

As I mentioned last month I wanted to share some of the things I learned while I was on my sabbatical.
My constant study of psychology and sex makes me search out interesting topics on the web.

The first one is an article I found interesting becuase it explores the always complex intereaction between mind and body when it gets to sex for women.
As you've heard me preach here before, the brain is the largest erogenous zone in the human body.
Women's minds are not wired the same as men's. It's why there is sometimes a tricky balance in the bedroom.

Many women enjoy the intamcy of sex, but are not really enjoying it on a physical level.
the article I read addresses some of the reasons that's happening.
The following information is from C-Health on the Canadian Canoe Network.

Why Don't I Enjoy Sex?

The reasons that women may not be enjoying sex are numerous and often complex.

Sexual experiences reflect the mingling of the mind and the body. What goes on in the mind is affected not only by what is going on sexually and nonsexually between the partners, but by everything that has gone on in the woman's life. Sometimes even experiences from childhood can be relevant.

The rest of the story is here.

Springing Forward

It's been nearly a month since I started my sabbatical. I figured I would stay on it until I didn't need it anymore.
That day has come.
I have studied several things during my leave. On the subject of sexuality, I came across several interesting articles and will be sharing them, and sometimes my thoughts on them during the coming weeks. Perhaps Sundays (sabbatical=sabbath) will be the day for those.

More importantly I studied myself and my relationship with my soulmate.
Through private journaling and some intense talks with CJ I had become more at ease with where I am in my life.
I'm not losing sleep much any more over things I will never be able to change. I have chosen to change the dynamic of my relationship. It's a good thing. I am more aware of what my personal dignity consists of and what I'm willing to allow into my life.
No waffling, no negotiations. I have learned even more about myself.

My writing has started up again. CJ and I had a great time on Friday (4/20) and I'll be writing all about that as soon as I get it all down and edited.

Let's all enjoy the promise that Spring shows us every year and begin anew.
