Keep the Fires of Love Burning

Love is just a simple, enjoyable, and romantic process that you and your partner will enjoy immensely.

Remember to focus on the words simple, enjoyable, and romantic. In a romantic relationship, the small things are the ones that truly count. Keep it simple and sexy, otherwise known as KISS. What good is spending hours looking for the right dress, matching shoes and purse, and getting the newest hairstyle, when a simple, sexy nightie will create the desired effect so much better? A back massage definitely feels good, but gently running your fingertips along the back of his neck will send a message that is loud and clear.

Love is there to enjoy. After all, if he enjoys it, he will be back for more. The amount of time invested is not what is important, but rather the amount of enjoyment derived from the experience. Why bother spending fifteen minutes listening to his long tirade about his day while waiting for your turn to talk, when a simple manoeuvre of slowly lifting your fork to your mouth, while looking straight at him with a glint in your eye, will get his attention and appreciation so much more quickly?

Romance is in the eye of the beholder. True, you would probably appreciate a single rose and a love note placed secretly upon your pillow, but it can be guaranteed that he would prefer to see a pair of sporting event tickets strategically placed upon his. In reality though, everyone wants to know that they are loved and appreciated, so by all means, place that little love note in his lunch bag or briefcase.

Whatever you do, add something daily to keep the fire burning and you will be sure to stay warm at night!

Ideas for Romantic Love Letters

Sometimes we find difficult to express our love, don't worry if you are very nervous, you feel that you can't talk and your hands are sweating, well that's why romantic love letters exist.

What can be more romantic than sending a handwritten love letter to your loved one, full of romantic words and genuine feelings you have for him/her? Love letters are one of the best ways to show your special loved ones how you feel for them and how much you love them. 

A heartfelt love letter also makes the perfect gift for Valentine's Day, but you don't have to just limit yourself to that specific day. Every day is a great opportunity to make your loved one happy by sharing your deepest feelings with him/her. 

To write a more romantic and heart-warming letter, here are 5 tips that will give you good ideas to write about: 

1. What was the first time you felt you were in love with him/her? Did anything special happen that made you realize your love? 

2. What is the number one thing he/she has that makes you feel so much in love with him/her whenever you think about it? It could be about looks or about personality. 

3. What positive changes have you made since he/she has entered your life? What valuable lessons have you learned from him/her? 

4. It's also a good idea to include a heartfelt romantic love poem at the end or the beginning of your letter. Sometimes nothing can show how we feel better and deeper than a good poem. 

5. And as the last tip: Don't forget to say "I Love You" at the end of your letter. This simple yet effective sentence will really seal the deal in your loved one's mind.

Love is all around us

 Love does not hurt. Physical and/or emotional abuse is not a part of love.

Love is not manipulative; it should not be used to get others to do what you want.

Love is an intense feeling of caring for another person. It can take many different forms (romantic, friendly, familial) but it is always about caring.

Although it is true that a big part of love is putting another person's happiness ahead of your own this never includes compromising your values or being untrue to yourself.

If somebody asks you to do something that you don't want to do in order to "prove" your love they do not love you the way you might think they do. When you love another person you don't ask them to sacrifice a part of themselves in the name of that love.

It is very easy to confuse lust for love. The true measure of romantic love is commitment and trust, not physical attraction.

It is possible to feel romantic love for more than one person at a given time. Just think, if it is possible for you to love both of your parents at the same time why would it be impossible to feel romantic love for two people at once? Don't beat yourself up emotionally if you find yourself in this unhappy situation. But be sure to remain single and be open and honest with all parties about your feelings and confusion.

Sex is NOT love. Love is NOT sex. Sex can be a part of romantic love but it is never mandatory.

Love should make you feel happy, secure and appreciated.

Love is all around us!

How to be a seductive beauty

Seduction is alluring

Making ourselves alluring and attractive to the one we desire is both fun and exciting. If that wasn't the case, then there wouldn't be as much need for glamorous lingerie stores, hair dressers, rows and rows of cosmetic shelves in department stores, stores that sell sexy clothing and hundreds of fragrances from name brand manufacturers.

It all depends on what turns on the object of your desire. Some women love a man with a full beard, whereas, others couldn't tolerate all that facial hair. Some men are switched on by a female in black, lacy lingerie and five inch heels while other men couldn't care less as they would rather have less packaging to deal with. A pair of sexy legs is appealing to a man. Women seem to prefer manly posteriors (okay, butts). It is all very subjective and based on personal preferences.

So, in order to be seductive, you will have to do your homework and know what turns on his/her switch. You will need to get to know the person to accomplish this.

Seduction is Romantic

Romance is the fine art of genuinely treating the object of your love with a sweet daringness that arouses the desire in them to want to be with you. If you want to seduce him/her, be romantic!

Seduction is Visual

To be seductive, you have to look appealing and sexy.

And most importantly, have Fun!

Tell Her You Love Her

This is for the romantic fools like me!

o   Always laugh at her jokes.

o   Tell her (truthfully) that you can't wait to see her again.

o   Offer her a backrub, without asking for one in return.

o   Call her just to say you were thinking about her.

o   Bring her a teddy bear and chicken soup when she's sick.

o   Write her a poem.

o   Slow dance with her (not only on a dance floor).

o   Bring her flowers for no reason.

o   Send her a (handwritten) letter just to say hello.

o   Always remember your anniversaries and bring her something sweet.

o   Kiss her in the middle of a sentence.

o   Take her for a walk at sunset and stay to look up at the stars.

o   Tell her something about you that no one else knows.

o   Remind her that you still think she's beautiful.

o   Take a bubble bath together.

o   Watch a sappy movie with her.

o   Surprise her with a candle light dinner.

o   Never stop trying to impress her.

o   Tell her you love her

Never forget how much she means to you.

Remember, love each other, embrace each other!!

Romance Yourself

Men are not usually the most romantic creatures. Usually it takes a lot of prompting and training for them to become romantic and to make him realize that you need some romance in your life.

One way to get him to take notice is to romance yourself. You deserve it and if he is not going to do for you, you can do it for yourself. Start out by getting yourself into shape both physically and mentally, change what you can and want to change and learn to accept the things that cannot be changed.

Every woman wants to be a sexy woman deserving of love and romance. Get comfortable with your body and decide that you want to have a great love life. Get a makeover; change your hairstyle and even your hair colour. Pamper yourself - Go for a day at the spa.

Exercise for a strong healthy and sexy body. Take dance classes that really get you moving like a Latin or salsa class or a belly dancing class, something with moves you can use in the bedroom. Even, learn how to be like a stripper that enchants and captivates men. Then go shopping and buy some new stylish and sexy clothing, especially sexy underwear and lingerie.

You should start to feel the changes within yourself. You should be becoming more confident and feeling sexy. He should start to notice the changes in you too. Maybe he will wonder what is going on. Make him wonder. Buy yourself flowers, send yourself gifts. Let him wonder if someone else sent them to you. Set the scene for romance with candles, wine and a special dinner for two. I hope that by now he is taking the hint and sending some of his own style of romance your way.

If he is still not catching on do not give up yet. Make the first move with him. Most men love nothing more than having their woman desire them and come after them. Sometimes the hunter really enjoys becoming the hunted. This will surely make him take notice. Be a little aggressive with him.

By learning to romance yourself and put your needs and desires at the top of the list, romance and passion from your partner are sure to follow.

Prolonging the Passion

Encounters and ideas to help you create a longer sensual experience!

I would imagine just about everyone wants to find ways to increase their sexual ability. Trying different ways to prolong the passion is probably one of the most sought after improvements. Why settle for one session, when you can prolong the experience over several days? To help you in your quest, I've included a few encounters and ideas to help you and your partner create a longer and more satisfying sexual experience. Have fun!

The Karezza Method

For the ultimate prolonged lovemaking session take a few tips from the Karezza (Italian for caress) method. Make love slowly and gently without the end result being an orgasm. The idea is to relax and enjoy instead of suppressing an orgasm. The ultimate goal is to never actually orgasm, except when attempting to conceive a child. An intermediate step some have used is only letting one in three sexual encounters result in an orgasm.

The All Day Tease

The ultimate foreplay involves an entire day of tempting. Your day could consist of a slow, sensuous kiss here, an intimate caress there and before you know it you'll both be involved in a wanton sensual experience. You can also enhance your tease period by sending erotic love letters, sexy voice mail, leaving descriptive pictures or sending a sexy invitation for an encounter later that night.

Fantasy Weekend

Do something indulgent! Unplug the phones, tell your friends and family you'll be away for the weekend, send the kids to sitter if needed, and spend the entire weekend indulging in your every sensual fantasy together. Lover's Hint: A fantasy weekend could also be a perfect opportunity to live out a few sexual fantasies you both may have wanted to try!

Winner Takes All!

You have the time arranged, but you're still not sure how to spend the evening. The solution for this scenario calls for a hot, romantic board game. My personal favorites include SexPlay and Fan The Flames. With each game you compete to have your sensual fantasy acted upon. Although, you'll be having so much fun you may never really know who the winner was!

It's A New World Record

One way to extend your sensual encounters is to see how many times or different places you can engage in lovemaking during a certain period of time. You could try to see how many times in one day, or how many different positions you tried, etc. Keep a log, and when you break a new record, plan a private celebration!
