Indulge! Claiming a Healthy Love For Sex
Whether you’re intimately
in love with your partner and seeking to maximize your sexual encounters
or in search of more confidence and a better attitude about sexual
intimacy, all women are entitled to indulge in a healthy love for
sex. Explore how a positive relationship with yourself allows you
to claim your own beliefs about intimacy while discovering how sexy
and desirable you are!
As a woman in contemporary American society,
you have most likely enjoyed an increasing independence and educational
and career opportunities since your mother’s generation. But
despite your achievements, you may not feel so empowered with something
very fundamental to your being—your attitudes towards sex
and intimacy.
Reasons for any disenchantment with sex or fear
of sexual intimacy can be found in all areas of life. Religion and
sexual intimacy are generally in conflict, offering little reconciliation
between spirituality and sex beyond the purpose of procreation within
marriage. Popular culture glamorizes women and sexual intimacy to
a degree that rather than genuinely empowering women, most of us
fell inadequate. And we are in confusing times; sterile images of
womanhood from 50s sitcoms remain fresh in our collective memory,
while teen pop stars swagger across present-day TV screens in a
manner and dress that is deliberately provocative. Compound these
conflicting ideals and it’s understandable that women today
may have confusing beliefs about intimacy. Initial attitudes toward
sex may have been formed in childhood by family morals that treated
sexual intimacy as taboo or religious doctrine condemning sex out
of marriage. These attitudes attached a sense of guilt to sex, but
then go head to head with an entertainment culture that suggests
that everyone is having sex and you’re inadequate if you’re
not. Of course the majority of sexual images feature impossibly
perfect bodies, so your rationale for an inadequate sex life becomes
that your tummy is not flat enough and your breasts are not full
enough, or you’re an older woman who sees only glorification
of youth with intimacy, and infers that intimacy among seniors is
undesirable.
Despite the potency of theses influences, the
fact remains that every woman is a highly sexual being entitled
to healthy love of sex. This covers the intimate discoveries of
youth to the pleasures of intimacy as seniors. We don’t cease
to be sexual or fail to attain it based on age, body type, or responsibilities
in life; sexuality is at the core of our being. While our bodies
may be the medium of sexual pleasure, sexual desire and enjoyment
comes from our minds. For this reason, the meaning of intimacy lies
within you and you are entitled to all its pleasures.
Your choice to honor and accept your entire
self—your wholeness and vast potential—can transform
your sex life. You must accept your own body if you want it to feel
pleasure and you must always maintain a responsibility for yourself
sexually. Don’t focus entirely on pleasing your partner, or
on your inability to do so due to a thicker waistline or shorter
legs. And you needn’t feel guilt for this pleasure—you
are as entitled to it as you are to enjoying a terrific sunset or
major accomplishment.
This is why you must choose now to develop positive
attitudes about your whole self and intimacy. You are responsible,
not your partner or outside influences, for valuing your relationship
with yourself before all else. Learn this and experience new and
more pleasurable levels of intimacy—a sex life free of guilt
and shame that will help you to love and embrace all parts of yourself,
physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The Attitude Doc’s 21-Day Course will support and guide you
through the self-discovery that will give intimacy a wonderful new
meaning in your life.
