wild woman

A national telephone company advertises a long-distance telephone slogan, "Reach out and touch someone." Each day, we need to reach out and touch those who are close to us. All of us - young and old, single and in relationship - need touch. Actions, in many cases, communicate more than words. Physical contact is a prerequisite both for a healthy individual, and for a fulfilling, mature, loving relationship with a partner.

By Ladyfire Editor Debora Myers Next time that you're aching for some extra attention or just a thrill, call him. Whether you have only been seeing each other for a short time or have been married for 13 years you can use the sexy phone talk to keep him hot for you. This is great foreplay for the woman on the go. You can get him going, tease him even more while cooking dinner together. Bend over the kitchen counter and rotate that butt, run your fingers through his hair and whisper what you want from him, before the dinner boils over! Then you can continue with the tease. Taking it a s...

By Ladyfire Editor Debora Myers I just couldn't resist the subject of The French Kiss! I hardly think the French invented it. I imagine we have been doing it since the beginning of time, when it comes down to basics; we are only a cognitive soul in an animal body. Some people may have an aversion to tongue kissing, but I can't imagine a life without the wet, delicious, sensual communication of erotic intent. What better way to unleash your animal than to slowly work your way to the ultimate with your lover?

Say the word "sensuality" and most people immediately think of sex. Many people confuse the terms sensuality and sexuality, thinking they are synonymous. Certainly, there are areas of overlap: for instance, one might wish to be a sensual lover, to bring one's sensuality into the lovemaking process, thus combining the sensual with the sexual experience

A friend recently acquired the first and second seasons of "Sex and the City" on DVD. So, a group of us women decided to have a "Gals Night Out" and start watching from the top. I believe it was in the first episode, that something familiar caught my eye. Charlotte encountered an awkward moment with a fairly new partner: he kept pushing her head down toward his crotch and she kept trying to pull it up. Signals on both sides were clear: he wanted a blow job, and she was reluctant, to say the least. They were caught in what the show referred to as "the blow job tug o' war."

’m sitting here, in one hand Vogue’s April edition called “The Shape Issue,” featuring Angelina Jolie (“Rebel with a Cause,” we’re told) on the cover, and in the other Time’s April 15 issue devoted to the question of “Babies vs. Career.” (Time promises to offer women “The harsh facts about fertility.”) Thirty years after the height of the women’s movement, here we are: Vogue tells us “How to Change Your Shape from Head to Toe” and Time warns us that if we get settled in a career first and then try to have kids, we are doomed to childlessness. And I’m sitting here thinking: This is it. This is ...

News accounts about the "International Position Paper on Women's Health and Menopause: A Comprehensive Approach" that will be released officially in June by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute in the United States have stunned many.

WOMENSENEWS)--Tracy had been enduring physical abuse from her partner--sometimes he would shove her or grab her arm--but she didn't really feel threatened. Then he put his hands on her throat and tried to strangle her. Tracy got scared. Though she didn't pass out, she felt powerless and frightened for her life. The fear drove her to seek help, and she went to the hospital, where a doctor referred her to a battered women's advocate. She made a safety plan, and eventually she decided to leave the relationship. The moment her partner tried to strangle her, Tracy said, was a turning p...

NEW YORK (WOMENSENEWS)--At first, four women dressed in black formed a line on the wide, white steps of the New York Public Library, 15 feet in front of one of the guardian lions. In addition to black pants, black shirts and black jackets, some wore black head scarves--to demonstrate solidarity with Muslim women who have been assaulted or harassed in blind reprisals for the Sept. 11 terrorism attacks. Even in the aftermath of terrorist bombings, these peace activists deliver no speeches, chant no slogans and invite no male participants. And, they say, these are precisely the elements that ma...

In most cultures over the ages the patriarchy have repressed women to the extent that we are no longer in touch with our deepest primordial selves. Our instinctual natures, the seat of our souls has been under siege and it's high time we work on getting back in touch with the wild woman within. I am not implying that we must toss the baby carriage

By Debora Myers Ok, now you're feeling better and more energized because you've been taking better care of yourself. No more guilt trips, no more over-doing it…but your mate isn't following your lead and has been a stickler to be around. At home I'd use another adjective but will refrain from my earthier descriptions in consideration of our more ladylike sisters.

Recently a new email buddy reminded me of a quote that goes something like this "insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing and expecting different results".

By Ladyfire Editor Debora Myers If you are the adventurous type you've probably already played the naughty paparazzi, but if you happen to be shy and would like to give him the surprise of his life try these hotty techniques to add some sizzle to your love life. If you really want to get him going, work up your nerve and transform yourself into the Amazon he thought he would never have.

By Ladyfire Editor Debora Myers As a man ages, his testosterone levels drop starting at around the age of thirty. By age 80 he generally produces one-third the amount than he did at twenty. This lowered level of testosterone can lead to waning libido. Typically the focus on lost sexual desire has been made on women and menopause.

By Ladyfire Editor Debora Myers This may be a difficult subject for some people. Many of us have been taught to be ashamed or embarrassed by our sexual feelings and find ourselves wasting a lot of energy denying, repressing and feeling guilty about them. To be a healthy, complete person we must learn to experience our sexuality without fear and accept it as a beautiful part of ourselves worth celebrating.Let go of any shame and embarrassment from archaic social standards that are connected with loving yourself.

What makes people Sexy? By Melissa Balmer I'll be honest, I don't have a complete handle on "How To Be Sexy" yet, but I've got a pretty darn good one. What makes people sexy has been a sort of hobby of mine since I was a teen-ager, when I wanted to be a model, and I danced and was obsessed with fashion.

By Ladyfire Editor Debora Myers Do you take in a big breath of air, notice how blue the sky is when you step out your door in the morning, how the birds are singing, filling your heart with joy? Do you notice and enjoy the cool morning breeze and how it feels on your skin.

In my part of the world it is cold now. Our winter is upon us. We've all been tested and re-tested and hopefully we've learned how to look at life a little differently. We've learned to tolerate the little things that used to get to us. We've learned to count our blessings and pray and send love, make love and send energy to those that are in need.
