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.

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 work in moscow escorts agency, and i have understanding boyfriend also. We are 2 years together, and i know what he wants, he knows what i want. I am sure we have best relations and we also not only lovers, but the best friends. Maybe he loves me because i am very hot))

Ooops! It appears my link seems to be br oken! Er, just kidding. Would you like to know the secret I held for years (which is why I do not desire sex) about my former 'dad'? It was he that performed his 'desires' of sex on us! He even threatened to shoot us dead if we kept HIS little secret. However, the secret came out in 2001 when I returned from Caerdydd. May he rot in hells!

sometimes it is wise to listen to that little voice inside. the one that says, this is a mistake, you need to choose again. it might take an hour a week a month or 25 years.....but listen. then let go

I think that before worrying about what your partner wants, you really need to look inwards at your own sexual needs. In my day job working as an escort, I deal with people all week long that are destroying perfectly good relationships because they don't have the self confidence to tell their partner what they really want, even though it's nothing really weird or extreme
