In this day and age, online dating has lost the taboo that once came with it and instead of being looked at as a desperate attempt to find a partner, it is now being embraced as yet another part of everyday life. Just because it is no longer full of stereotypes does not mean that it is not still as dangerous as it was when it first became popular. Online dating can be a fantastic way to meet new people and even your soul mate but there are many precautions that one should take when thinking about starting to try online dating as well as when you first decide to meet your new friend in person. Hopefully by the end of this article you’ll understand why these precautions are necessary and you will use this advice yourself. As with everything in this world, your number one priority should always be to take care of yourself and make sure that you are safe.

Setting up an Account:

When you first decide to join an online dating site the best piece of advice to take is to make a separate email account dedicated to your online dating social life. If you don’t then you may find that the next morning after having registered at a dating site, your inbox is full to the brim with spam. Many of these sites will not only spam you with junk mail but will spam you with emails about their site. This one reason that it is easier to have a separate email to use just for registering to these sites. Another good reason to have an email dedicated to this new social life, is so that you don’t have to worry about changing your main email if someone starts to become a hassle to you.

Be wary of someone who insists on exchanging emails at the very first contact that you make with them. This is a good sign that you’ll end up with tons of spam the next time you check your inbox. Along with marketing scams I should mention that if at any point in time someone asks you for money or any personal information you should be on alert. There are just as many con and scam artists on these sites as there are people lying about not being married!

Sketchy Characters:

Speaking of married people there are a few tell tale signs that can let you know whether your new friend is possibly married or is just a sketchy character to begin with. The first sign is for them to ask you for your phone number but then not give you theirs is return. Irregular and hurried calls can be a big neon sign pointing to the fact that something is not right with this scenario as well.  A failure to share their last name with you once you have given yours or just asked is another sign to be wary of as well as them not giving any or giving very few details about their friends, family and past relationships.

First Phone Calls:

So you are at that point in your online relationship that you both want to talk to each other on the phone. My advice would be to make the first phone call short and sweet. Why you ask? Because getting into the habit of having long regular phone calls with your potential new partner could mean that the spark you both felt, once you meet face to face will be gone. If you form a solid relationship over the phone, the excitement of meeting them face to face might be a quarter of what it could have been had you guys not gotten into the habit of already talking everyday. Save the daily phone calls for after you meet and are sure that there is something between the two of you. So keep the conversation casual, keep the deep meaningful ones like childhood experiences, life goals and so on for the fact to face time!

In order to protect yourself from a potential stalker it is advised that you use a cell phone, pay phone or borrow a friend’s phone to make your first calls to your new friend. They will still be able to find your personal information with just a cell phone number but it is a little harder than if you give them your land line number. Worse comes to worse use your phone’s blocking system to block out your number. You might think that this is a little extreme or rude but it isn’t. Your safety is always your first priority and if your friend turns out to be a great person

Meeting in Person:

There are some basic and simple guidelines on how to ensure your safety when first meeting your new online friend in person. Firstly ask your friend if they would mind a double or group date for your first face to face contact. You are always safer in groups. If that does not appeal to you than make sure that your evening or date plans involve public places. Never let yourself be alone with the person on your first date. If you decide to forgo the group date idea then make sure you have an exit strategy. Firstly make sure at least two good friends know where you are going and at what time. Never meet a stranger without having people know where you are! Also have a friend call you at a designated time or call them from the bathroom to check up with them. If things are going badly you can have them come pick you up. And by badly I don’t mean that your date is boring. Even if he is boring you should stick around out of respect but if he seems off in some way or sketchy, it’s time to execute your exit strategy at once.

On that note if your date is boring or not at all what he seemed like online when you chatted give him a chance. Many people are themselves online but find it hard to be comfortable around new people in person. So ride it through, pretend that he’s charming even if he’s not and you may just be surprised how he opens up.

A good trick that I personally used to use is to wear your ugliest pair of granny panties. This is not to make you feel un-sexy but rather to ensure that you will not be tempted to jump into bed with the person.

Always carry a condom. Although you’re wearing your granny panties you should still carry a condom. If anything were to happen, you cannot count on your friend having protection on him, so be safe and carry a fresh condom in your wallet on purse at all times. If the condom has been in there for awhile replace it with a new one to make sure that it isn’t pierced or too old.

If at any point you don’t feel safe, trust your instincts and leave. It doesn’t hurt to be safe rather than sorry!

Hope this tips and tricks help you out as you discover the joy of online dating!

My man and I have made a real effort recently to slow things down in the bedroom. We had noticed that the romance had seemed to have somehow just completely slipped away from us and so it was either that we were going to give in to the lack of romantic feelings in our relationship or try to rebuilt that fire which once burned so bright. One trick that we started to do was to keep our underwear on for as long as possible before having sex. We will just lie together, teasing each other with licks, caresses and kisses until we are both unable to stand it any longer. It reminds me a lot of when we were teenagers and would just make out for hours. Although we don’t do this for hours, we did notice the same types of feelings coming back to us as when we were young. Even when our underclothes come off, we do not proceed directly into the horizontal tango! Instead we enjoy each others bodies as much as we can.  So my advice to you is that if you are going to rush around, let yourself and your lover at least enjoy a bedroom where time is meaningless. Slow things down together, really take the time to enjoy the pleasure and ecstacy that are you giving each other.

“Need some creative ideas for keeping things lively between you and your man? Try some of these rituals we have created specially for you, to keep that romantic spark alive! A ritual simply means placing special importance upon an activity, planning it carefully and performing it with awareness and intention. Some of the everyday activities you thought very dull can be ritualized to make them special, and help you both share some more romance in your relationship. There are rituals involving food, bathing, and foreplay-try them all! (Next Ten: Rituals for Social Situations!)

1. Shopping for that Romantic Dinner Together: Sure, you can prepare that decadent meal for him, but what if you both do the shopping together? Hint: Specialty stores or farmers’ markets are sexier than the supermarket. You can gaze at each other suggestively over the strawberries and oysters and chocolate. Whisper in his ear as he is deliberating over red or white wine—speaking some sexy French or Italian will help him decide.

2. Preparing that Romantic Dinner Together: Careful, sometimes things in the kitchen can heat up to such a degree that you forget all about dinner! Stand behind him and caress him as he’s grilling the steaks. Make the soufflé naked with just an apron and high heels. Get him to lick the Bernaise sauce off your fingers. Smear some lemon frosting on his neck and kiss it off.

3. Eating that Romantic Dinner Together: Once everything is prepared, be sure to dress for dinner! Wear a sexy silk slip or a kimono that falls open easily, to reveal his favorite undergarments (those mesh tap pants, or black garter and stockings). Make sure there are candles for ambient lighting and sexy music.

4. Postponing that Romantic Dessert Together: Make your meal leisurely. When the food’s done, have a seat with your after-dinner brandy or coffee. Now’s the time for loving conversation, or just some quiet time listening to music or maybe watching an erotic video. Let him know dessert won’t be ready for a while…hint, hint.

5. Bringing that Romantic Dessert to Bed when You’re Ready: Nothing like a nice treat when you’ve burned off some calories in bed! Bring one serving with two spoons or forks and feed each other…

6. Bubble Bath for Two: Okay your man may be a shower guy, but this might convert him. Make sure the bathroom is clean and free of clutter (maybe you can even get him to help you with this part!) and get your supplies ready beforehand. You will need: candles, fluffy towels, a nice robe for each of you, bubble bath (Lush has some great bubble bars) and grooming products (see #7 and 8). Run the bath and let him know you expect him to join you in a few minutes. He’ll love the sight of you amid those bubbles, face flushed, waiting for him!

7. During-Bath Grooming: Animals groom each other, why not people? Have some grooming products handy to share this nice intimate ritual. Wash his hair and give him a nice scalp massage while you’re at it. A plastic cup or bowl is handy for rinsing. Or you can help each other smooth on face masks and relax while they do their work. Plus: your man’s skin will look great afterwards! Maybe one or both of you has a shaving fantasy—now’s the time to help each other out! Make sure you have fresh disposable razors and some luscious shaving soap.

8. After-Bath Grooming: Maybe you and your man don’t even know each other’s after-bath routine. Here’s a fun way to find out. Invite your man to apply your lotion or powder or conditioner for you. Offer to do the same for him. Wrap up in some nice fluffy robes and lounge around for a few hours, or head straight to bed. Sleep naked for a change, if you don’t usually.

9. Ritual Massage: Make that backrub or footrub into something special. Light candles and lay out special oils or lotions. Make sure you create a comfortable place for your man to lie down. Play soothing (but sexy) music. Light incense or use scented candles: something subtle and arousing like sandalwood, patchouli or vanilla. Encourage him to get into loose, comfortable clothing, or to get undressed and put a robe on. When the massage is over, make sure there is a hot or cool drink on hand. Your man may feel very relaxed, or very aroused, depending on his mood and what kind of massage you give—be prepared to go with the flow!

10. Ritual Foot Bath/Foot Rub: Our feet take so much punishment, there is nothing like a nice foot rub to rejuvenate. Bathing the feet is a tradition that goes back to ancient Egypt. It’s so decadent, you’ll want to try this ritual often! Have two plastic or metal bowls ready; one will be filled with hot water, one with cool. Wash your man’s feet one at a time in the hot water with soap. Then rinse them in the cool water. This is good for circulation and energy. Then dry them off gently and rub lotion or cologne on them. Ahhh…”

So what I came to realize with a lot of my friends is that they would stay with these no good men for reasons unknown to me. Only later on did I figure out what all of these bad relationships had in common. They all involved men who would go down on their partners all the time and trully not want anything in return. Is this such a rare thing that when we find a man like this, it is hard to let him go regardless if he is really no good for us? Having been there myself, I would have to say yes. Maybe the men reading this should try to be more loving with their partners,  I guarantee it will make your relationship better.

If you cannot give oral pleasure to your loved one without getting an erection, then maybe go to the bathroom and pleasure yourself before you decide to give her a treat. Because nothing makes us fee more obliged to return the favor than a rock hard cock pressing against us.

There are a ton of classes out there now so finding one near you shouldn’t be a problem. No longer, taboo or only for strippers, these classes are great ways to exercise and all kinds of people go to them. Think about how much fun you could have with your newly acquired dancing skills! I’m sure that no partners would disagree that it is a good idea to take one of these classes. What you get from these courses is something that not only benefits you, it also benefits your partner and your sex life. Just take a look at the gallery provided by Sssh.com, the cute girl in this set gives her man a little bit of a lap dance that just drives him wild! It’s clear as day by looking at their faces that they are both having a great time!

If you are not into taking walks you can always go down to an interesting part of your town to distract you from the fact that you are walking. We like to play tourists in our town once in awhile and you’d be surprised at how many times we’ve discovered things to see that we never really knew existed! If you have a boardwalk near a river or a lake take advantage of it. The strong breeze that comes off the water will make you feel more alive than ever.

Take your darling to eat outdoors. Whether on a restaurant’s terrace or on a pic-nic, eating outdoors is always refreshing! I love it when we pair ourselves up with another couple and head downtown for a nice supper with a good bottle of wine. Conversations flow so easy and we always leave with a really good feeling. Taking a pic-nic might seem a bit cliche in terms of romance but you can never score wrongly with this unless your partner hates the outdoors and the bugs that tend to come with it. But let me tell you that there’s nothing better than napping on a comfy blanket spread on the grass after a good meal! So there are some ideas on how to boost your romance this summer, feel free to leave comments of any other ideas you may have come up with alone or with your partner!

Rolling Around in the Grass

There’s just something about lying down in the grass, with a lovely cool breeze that makes my skin tingle. Whether you’re in your own back yard, out in a field having a picnic or sneaking around in the bushes in a spontaneously driven passion, there is no comparison to the rush of adrenaline that you get as you romp around in the fresh air. This type of adult outdoor activity will leave you and your partner feeling like teenagers again, all giddy and refreshed. tip: bringing a blanket with you will add some comfort if the grass isn’t so soft.

Fresh Air

Pool Party for Two

For those of you who have been deprived and have never had sex in water…..we feel for you! Not only is this a fun way to change up our bedroom routines, it is also lets us enjoy the outdoors, cool off and work on our all over tans! You and your partner don’t even need to have sex in the pool because swimming naked, in of itself, is one of the most freeing experiences. Although the weightlessness in the water and your nude bodies will make the two of you too worked up to not indulge in each other! tip: you leave your bathing suits on or off depending on whether there is a chance of someone seeing you. For extra fun play nude in a secluded part of a lake!

Cooling off

Fucking in the Rain

One of my favortie sex memories is when my hubby and I found ourselves being drench by the unexpected rain while we were walking home after a friend’s party. I have to admit that the alcohol running through our bloodstreams might have been what gave us the courage to get down and dirty in the rain, but never the less, we found a secluded spot and well…you can guess the rest! I would recommend this to anyone since the sensation of being kissed by the cool raindrops as you get hotter and hotter is sensational not to mention the fact that there something os utterly sexy about being dripping wet from head to toe.  tip: in order to really enjoy this, you need to let yourself go and cease to care about getting dirt with mud or being sopping wet! when you get back inside, take a shower together or grab some warm towels out of the dryer and snuggle  with some hot chocolate.

Down and Dirty
