Quiz: How Happy Are You with Your Sex Life?
By Cheryl Saban, Intent
Sharing your deepest darkest secrets isn’t easy; it takes courage and a promise of confidentiality and can leave you at your most vulnerable. Truly intimate relationships require a high level of trust in order to sustain. Please take a moment to write your answers to the following questions to assess where you are in your ability to forge meaningful sexual relationships.
• Do I enjoy sex?
• What do I like most about my relationship?
• What steps can I take today to make my love/sex-life more enjoyable for me, and my partner?
• Do I have a reciprocal relationship? Do I feel my intimacy needs are being met? If not, what can I do to change that?
It’s entirely normal to want an emotional and intimate relationship with someone, and on some level you’re aware that your happiness will be heightened once you’ve had satisfying sex. And you know what? You’re right. Learn to trust your instincts. A healthy sex life is not only enjoyable; it’s an integral part of your overall feeling of wellness.
My next post will give you some tips for strengthening.
“Throughout this series, my intent is to provide visitors with information and exercises designed to guide women to define their own self-worth, take responsibility for it and then to pass it on to others. I will introduce the concept of self-worth and explore how to apply it to various areas of women’s lives, including love, sex and intimacy, finances and motherhood. And finally, I will provide ideas of how to give back to your fellow women.” -Cheryl Saban

I am sure that most people who had sex before cannot be "Just" good friends.
May be I am wrong, but it's my point of view.

Nice article.
But I want to say, that there are different people and different sex lives...
I am very happy with my relations with boyfriend, but not glad about our sex life.
For me, it's necessary to have sex min 3 times per week, but he is not able (too busy, tired and etc.). So, I can say that I am not very happy about my sex life

to all of the great ppl who wrote to me with their ideas about how I could improve the intimacy in my marriage despite the fact that sex is extremely painful, things r going better now. We talked about some of ur replies, & I started doing more other things to satisfy him sexually, so now he doesn't make those snide comments as much, & we turn them into a joke. I had to learn not to take them so seriously too. So things r getting better. Like I said b4, my husband is a great guy, warts & all, & I wouldn't trade him for all the men in the world.
Thanks again for caring so much, bye for now :)

to the man who went to the escort, u were looking for sex. period. Don't try to sugar coat it by saying that "u talked for ages". U had sex with a hooker. U cheated on ur girlfriend to improve things between u??? Does SHE know that u went to a hooker? I doubt it! U could've gone to a professional counsellor if u wanted knew ideas about spicing up ur sex life. U wanted sex, not a shoulder to cry on. I feel sorry for ur girlfriend. Who knows what diseases u brought home to her. & there she is thinking she has a caring & loyal man. HAH!!! Ur a pig.

I was having trouble with my relationship a month ago and ended up going out with a London escortbut spent ages talking to her about my problems and she gave me loads of ideas to improve the sex life between me and my girlfriend and it really helped. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone about it for fresh ideas and solutions.

Nancy, I agree that Al-Anon can help, but only you can decide what to do. You don't have to stay with him if he's treating your poorly. You can call a local domestic violence hotline for support.

Denise, your husband might benefit from acupuncture, naturopathy, and/or homeopathy. Also, ED can be a sign of heart disease, so he might want to see a cardiologist. There are appliances that he can use that help him as well.

Note to Nancy - I agree with Cathy H. Al-Anon has helped so many people who love someone who has a drinking problem. It keeps the focus on YOU (strange idea, huh?) The program helps YOU manage YOUR life. Can't talk to anyone? People think YOU'RE crazy? You are not alone. By all means, Please try at least 6 meetings - if by then it doesn't help or you realize it's not for you, then at least you can say you tried. The men/women at Al-Anon will understand what you are going through, because they've been through it all...and it's free!! If you don't want to try that, at least find a 12-Step Therapist totally taught to help relatives/friends of the alcoholic/addict. Please take care of YOURSELF. It's not self-ish; it's just self-care. Most Sincerely, from one who has been there, and now has the tools to help myself.

Nancy, Please try Al Anon. You will find people who understand what you are going thorugh by living with an alcoholic. Your husband has the disease of alcoholism and you cannot control it or cure it and you did not cause it. Alcoholics cannot be expected to listen to reason or think like a normal person. His disease will make you crazy. Al Anon will show you how to restore your own sanity and set boundaries you need to protect yourself. They do not advise, just listen until you figure out what you need to do for yourself. Good luck.

Do not expect for taking, only think for giving, and that will be the most contended and successful relationship.
