Members ladylove Posted January 26, 2009 Members Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 One needs to talk..... just talk, forget the TD list.Everyday Intimacy"Having someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night is a very old human need." — Margaret MeadIntimacy can be described as "belonging to someone." Asking "how was your day?" should be part of you and your significant other's everyday banter — it will keep you connected across the different dimensions of your lives. Intimacy is more than what goes on in the bedroom — paying attention to each other's day-to-day lives strengthens your relationship and creates a feeling of closeness and security.

Members mtngal Posted January 26, 2009 Members Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Great reminder. I'm not sure how well i do at modeling this behaviour. I think I'll tally my conversations over the next week to kind of get a baseline. It's all in laying a solid foundation--or fixing a cracked one nu?

Members makasha1 Posted January 27, 2009 Members Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Great reminder LL. Sometimes after time people get so comfortable with each other that they forget to do the simplistof things that keep them connected.

Members Mikayla1 Posted January 27, 2009 Members Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I actually met Dr. Berman at a conference about 2 years back. I find her advice simple and on target (for the most part). She really does encourage an everyday intimacy - connecting on all levels to bolster comfort in the sexual realm. I think this is so true. If we show no regard for our partner's life (work, hobbies, stresses) then how can we move from a total individualism to a sexual connectedness? Thanks for the reminder, I think it is important to note! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Shariana Posted January 28, 2009 Members Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 That's my first question when my SO gets home from work. I'm not with him all day, so I like to know what he's been up to so we have something more to talk about! ^.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kisskat Posted January 30, 2009 Members Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I leave mine little notes in the morning before he goes to work...he usually writes a response before he leaves...he will call me at his lunch too. When he comes home we try to talk about his day. We try to keep a connection all day even when we are apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CGEM Posted January 30, 2009 Members Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 This is truly a point to remember. Sometimes I forget that foreplay for the afternoon starts when I make her the morning latte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Amylynn920 Posted January 31, 2009 Members Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I think it's extremely important, if all you have going on is sex between you and not much else, what happens to the relationship outside the bedroom? I like Dr. Berman too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ladylove Posted February 1, 2009 Author Members Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I think foreplay starts the minute you open your eyes in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sun_flower969 Posted February 1, 2009 Members Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I think foreplay starts the minute you open your eyes in the morning.Yeah that was the point of this thread right? That everything can be foreplay and lead up to good sex! Some/most couples tend to skip over that and their sex life stagnates...Thanks LL!
