Ask The Man!
A New Monthly Column
brought to you this week by
"Robert"
In my ongoing work with couples and sexuality, I am constantly asked by women;
"What do men really think about love and sex?"
So I asked one. He is our first guest columnist and this month he answers the question,
"What do YOU think makes for the best sexual partner?"
"Enthusiasm" by Robert Lowe
September 1, 2009
A few weeks ago, Tammy asked the fans of her "Getting the Sex You Want" Facebook page, "What do you think makes for the best sexual partner?" and offered to use the best answer in her next book.
The question elicited several interesting responses including; "a great emotional connection", "generosity of spirit", trust", "communication", "a partner who is open and honest about their desires...".
There is no doubt that these elements help to create the foundation of a great sexual relationship. It didn't take me long to think of some of the same things, and some others that didn't find they're way to the Facebook comments, but I wasn't satisfied with them as my answer.
After a little introspection, reflection, and the replaying of my own sexual history, I zeroed in on the essential ingredient for my best sexual partners.
Enthusiasm.
I am not sure that I have yet to be crowned the winner in the best answer contest, but Tammy asked me to write this entry about my thoughts on the importance of sexual enthusiasm. Maybe, I am onto something.....
I know, I know.....finding an enthusiastic partner does not exactly mean that you have found a great sexual partner, as anyone with a tragic teeth story (a.k.a. a Black and Decker Pecker Wrecker) or a unwitting recipient of the dreaded ABCs pattern can attest. Please accept my sincerest apologies to the lovers of teeth and childlike ABC jingles. Unfortunately, being enthusiastically awful is always a possibility. But all the wonderful and desirable qualities that one could hope for and make for the best lovers can only exist from the pure and free expression of sexual enthusiasm.
Although at first glance it may seem like it, sexual enthusiasm is not the same as being "into it". You know what I mean by "into it".....she was just so into it that she didn't see the police officer tapping at the car window, "into it". I spent some time in a mildly confused state where I thought that being "into it" and sexual enthusiasm was the same thing. I imagine that there is likely a more a universal understanding of what "into it" means. But being "into it" is merely a temporary state of mind that happens in the pleasures of a sexual experience. It is a momentary state of excitement that results from a self-focused state of arousal. Being into it may be the result of sexual enthusiasm or it might be the result of an inhibition-reducing, libido-increasing controlled substance. Fun? Sure. Exciting? Yes. A turn-on? Please....may I have some more? But this is not the essence of the type of sexual enthusiasm that makes for the best sexual partners.
What I mean by sexual enthusiasm is the free and open desire and intense drive to make use of the gifts of the body and mind to both give and receive pleasure in ways that deliver joy to all the parties involved.
When it is there, and you are gifted with a like enthusiasm, you KNOW it. It slaps you across the head and causes you to pay attention. Your body will respond affirmatively. This pure form of energetic excitement is the key to paving a way to the other elements that people usually want the most. An emotional connection: trust: communication: all are a natural, but not necessarily an automatic consequence of the enthusiasm one has for establishing and maintaining a superior and meaningful sexual relationship, in whatever form you desire it to take. This does not necessarily mean that sexual enthusiasm means a lack of boundaries and limitations, but they must be a product of preferences instead of blocks, hang-ups, or negative attitudes about sexuality.
At the heart of all of this talk about sexual enthusiasm is the idea that it helps to make sex the fun and fulfilling adult playtime it was meant to be. What that means specifically can and will vary across individuals and couples, but the objective is the same; as Dr. Ruth used to say...."Have good sex."
So, go and have some good sex already!

Read Tammy Nelson's expert opinion in this article by Bettyconfidential.com's Amber Madison on Why women lose interest in the bedroom and what they can do to improve their sex lives!
Why Women Lose Interest in Sex....and what can be done about it!
-Amber Madison
Oh the beginning ... just the touch of his hand makes you want to go at it on every surface in your apartment. But soon enough, things settle down and you're content enough to keep it contained to the bedroom. And then, even your pillow-top, memory foam Tempropedic isn't seeing any action.
If you're like many women, your relationship is pressing on, but your sex drive seems to be left in the dust. Why does this happen? Are women falling out of love? Or just out of sex? The following are the top three reasons women stop wanting sex, and what you can do to regain your libido.
Problem #1: It was "the spark" that lit your fire.
According to Tammy Nelson, psychotherapist and author of Getting The Sex You Want, as we're falling in love, "we feel an attraction to someone that is primarily directed by brain chemistry. The spike in hormones and an intense release of dopamine, serotonin and adrenalin gives us that in love sensation that's characterized by compulsive thoughts and sexual attraction."
In laymen's terms, all those feelings of euphoria and the excitement of a new guy makes you want it - bad. Then, as the initial excitement wears off, and you become more used to the relationship, there's not as much spark to ignite your sex drive.
Solution: While there may be no way to recreate the initial excitement of a new relationship (it's just not the same once you've farted in front of each other), you can recreate the newly dating sex.
Have sex in a new place, in a new way, with a new toy, while watching a hot video, or while wearing something sexy.
Nelson also suggests sharing your fantasies with each other and veering away from ordinary sex.
