How Angelina Jolie and Anna Paquin are authentic in their relationships.


Understanding men and being in relationships can be a little “chewy”. And I’m not the only one that agrees. In a recent article about Angelina Jolie and her new movie The Tourist (where she looks amazingly beautiful, and the clothes are to die for) talks about her need to have men in her life.
“I have drowned in being deep and complicated and dark. As I have gotten older, I have found more sense of centre and of confidence, especially around relationships”.

She parents six (count em’) six kids with husband Brad Pitt. She is a UN Ambassador, and gives a third of her income to charity. She no longer has to tattoo the name of her lover on her arm or carry a bottle of his blood around her neck.

This is the message I keep reminding my patients. That the stronger and more independent you are on your own, the more attractive you are to the opposite sex. Jolie plays the bad girl role well (who can forget Laura Croft?), and now embraces her power and sex appeal as the mystery woman in The Tourist. I think men prefer that to the kittenish barbie-doll playmates who haven’t the depth. It’s about authenticity.
Take the example of Canadian born, New Zealand raised actress Anna Paquin. She stars as Sookie Stackhouse in my favourite series True Blood (I’m such an addict). She has a gap in her front teeth, acts without pretense and tries hard to stay under the radar when not on stage. Sexy and authentic. She has a relationship with on-screen Love Vampire Bill but they work to have fun and not get too hyped up with the Hollywood nonsense.

I have some suggestions for staying authentic and attractive.

Show up whole and human. Show up for everyone. Give yourself the time — and the you — you would give your best friend.

Talk in your authentic voice. A good part of authenticity is knowing when we’re hiding behind our history. Another good part is seeing and admitting when we’re feeling one thing and saying that we feel something quite different. Choose the authentic kind words that express who you are now and what you are feeling.

Tell your own truth.We all grew up with “tape recordings in our heads” that contradict what we know is true about ourselves.

Be real. Know that some days are chewy. You won’t be at your best and that’s okay. Love and appreciate yourself and your partner. That is what I make an effort to do every day. I tell my family, my sweetie, and my kids that I love them daily with as much emphasis as I can muster.

Trying to walk the walk. Like Anna and Angelina.

Keeping your relationship spicy. Mid week dating ideas that work for great relationships.

I keep looking for new ways to suggest to my patients on keeping your relationship spicy. I’m trying to come up with new date night ideas. Since my date night tend to be Sunday or Monday nights, I’m trying to come up with suggestions for my own relationship. I also encourage my patients to make sure they sensuous time in their week. This means touch, quiet time together, getting your adrenaline up, with new sexual activities.
Here are some of my new suggestions:

1. Feel sexy. Try something new. New bra, new cologne, bright lipstick.

2.Erotic art. Men are visual, and looking at sexy pictures, especially with your partner, will put you in the mood. There is at least one saucy art place in every town.

3. Simply have more sex. Lots of women don’ get into it, unless they are actively into it. Don’t wait to “feel” like having sex to do it,just putting out will get you there.

4. My fridge magnet says, “life begins at the end of your comfort zone”. Try a date night that involves spicy foods (they will heat up your hormones), or something you’ve never done before.

5. Be competitive with your mate. Rock climbing, running race, scavenger hunt etc.
Pitting yourself against your guy can boost attraction, add chemistry, and lead to a hotter sex life. Anything that gets your adrenaline up works.

Here are my new favorites.
1. Swedish spa night. Pretend you are the spa girl and rub your partner down with oil, wash them and then dance slowly with the candles burning.

2. Beer tasting pub night in our neighborhood and then walk home talking about our fantasies.

3. Playing Wii shoot em ups. I’m really bad at them, but they do get your adrenaline moving.

Other suggestions from my online search include:
” Cuddle in front of a fire and watch your favorite movies.
Walk on the beach and stargaze.
Make love in the kitchen.
Sit on the beach, watch the sunset and talk.
Make love all day.
Hold hands.
Share a quiet moment together.
Cook dinner together.
Dance by candlelight.
Give a massage.
Take a bubble bath together.
Cuddle on the sofa and watch TV.
Cuddle
Spend time alone with each other.
Look into each other’s eyes.
Make love in the rain.
Hold hands while taking a walk.

Lay together in front of the fireplace and just talk.
Go out to a romantic dinner then go to a play or go dancing afterwards.
Dance together in a candlelit room.

Sex and social Media. Doing it in sound bites…

www.sexwithsue.com, www.loveandlipstick.com

I was at a great presentation at the Queen's University Executive training school yesterday. I actually brought my mom (as part of her Mother's day gift). The speaker, Kerry Munro is an old family friend (Mom had to tell the women sitting next to us that "she used to change his diapers…". groan). Anyway it was great content, and it struck me that these social connections I was told about are great for sex.

So I went looking. Search twitter (I didn't know until yesterday you could do that either) I found these twitter quickies…. "Great dismount", "Had a nooner and I was awesome" "Following Matt Lauer's infidelity". 

  Or how about this one: Google Thinks Sexual Older Women Are Gross, But “Sugar Daddies” A-OK, Sexual Fantasy: More Previews of Jake Gyllenhaal in "Prince of Persia", Men also get genital yeast infection, no symptoms, pass to their sexual partner.
 
Social media at its finest. The things I learn. Does it all have to do with sex or do I just have a dirty mind?

Girls watching other girls bump and grind

Mitzy So girls night out this past week was spent watching the hottest strippers around.  No Chippendales dancers for my small gaglle of women, we went to see traditional burlesque women dancers, who took it down to pasties, adn garters.  Hot, classy, feminine I was blown away at just how much fun it looked. This is the best of the 30′s and 40′s stripping before it became lap dancing and champagne rooms. An even group of men and women, I had a great time!  Miss Mitzy Cream, the leader of the pack of a group called the Kitten Revue I want her wardrobe! check out the photo page, it’s so sexy!Mitzy2

My two favourite numbers were a 40′s Bugle Boy sailor number, and a Hawaiian grass skirt hula that left the guy beside me breathless.  Forget pole dancing for your man, it’s about ultra feminine, girl power!  Break out the pasties and like the Chris De Burgh Patricia the Stripper song (it was the final number) says, "get men tumbling down in heaps before your feet."  I’m out shopping for corsets!

Of Princes and Prostitutes

Aga_khan I sat in the same rarefied air  of His Highness, The Aga Khan, spiritual leader to the world’s Ishmailis yesterday in Ottawa.  He was in town to hang out with the Prime Minister, and I was in the lobby for a meeting of the same hotel  that he (and a host of security personnel) were hanging out in.  Attractive and charming- I had met him briefly at a reception last year- he is opening a centre for pluaralsim and multiculturalism down the street, and has some very progressive views about women. Kind of cool, and interesting to almost meet him again as he does some important work.

After the company of princes, I go onto to interview Delilah, a 35 year old escort who has worked for some of the best known agencies in New York and Las Vegas.  I’m trying to discover for women who have known many men, what if any advice they have to give to the rest of us. She reminded me of a saying, that"men don’t fall in love with you, they fall in love with how you make them feel." So, you need to pamper the ego as much as you need to pamper their penis’s. I wonder what the Aga Khan would agree with that.

So hungarian men use the most positions…

Sexyman2 So Men’s Health Magazine commissioned this survey of how men like to have sex.  Filipino guys apparently like to masturbaste most (5 times a week, instead of the usual 4).  No wonder your hot water bill is so high.  Canadian men are unremarkable (they used to be considered the most sensitive lovers, maybe there is an award for the most polite?).  Korean guys do it the most 4.5 times a week, instead of the usual 2.8 times.

Think about that. 4 and 1/2 boff (the occasional quickie).  Maybe they have a less hectic lifestyle.  Those British guys (who in practise are always the kinky ones), devote the most time to foreplay. Lie back and think of England or at least David Beckham…

Finally, it’s the Hugarian guys that are the acrobats.  Jumping around to as many as 8 positions a session (sounds exhausting), but if you were really looking for some attention, it would be the Hungarian and the Korean guys together that may be the most interesting.  Poder that twosome on your lunch break.

Pioneer sex – can you do it with mosquitos buzzing around?

Amish  PBS television (viewed in Canada on HGTV) is running a reality series where two couples live off the land with no technology a la pioneers for an entire year. This is not 39 days in a hot climate with sexy people like Survivor, no this is building a cabin, sleeping with your pig, in Manitoba, home of more mosquitos per capita than anyother place in Canada or maybe the world.  I’ve been to Manitoba, and I had mosquitos in my hotel room in downtown Winnipeg-  in September!!@  These reality show couples complained about mosquito bites they got on their ass every time they went pee, and how couldn’t leave the tent after dusk to go for a leak because the bugs were just that bad. The episode I saw was after living together in a tent for 2 months, the two couples finally had their own space and were going to get to have sex for the first time in months! 

They couldn’t have sex outside (for the aforementioned reasons not to mention the cameras), but it struck me as me as somewhat less than idealic lovemaking conditions. I used to say that before the turn of the 20th century when we didnt have elecric light, the thing most adults did after dark was sleep, nurse babies and boff.  I thought it much more romantic that you had way, way more time for sex.  But now after seeing this "reality" (great show check out the linkthis is really reality) I’ve thinking that technology, DEET, vibrators, and those electronic bug zappers may be sexier after all.

Just a thought.

Boobs- we must we must increase our busts

Breasts  If you are of a certain age, you remember the line from Judy Blume’s book "Hello God it’s me Margret" cool kids author  about how obsessed women are with their breast size.  Not quite as obsessed as men and the size of their dangling dicks, but that’s a rant for another day.  Billions of dollars are spent on breast augmentation- which you have to have repackaged with saline about 10 years later.  Not to mention the pain, money and side effects.  I’m working on this new technique and clinical study to grow yours naturally. Interesting research study.  If you are interested in trying a new, pain-free, and free technique to increase your breast size, I’m looking for guinea pig er I mean candiates to try this.  Email me at suem@rogers.com

fish oil for your hard on’s

I was speaking with my buddy Mike Bode yesterdaymike’s site.  He’s the former Mr. Strongman guy that now runs this leading store selling nutricitionals and testosterone based supplements.  He tells me that Omega 3′s, Yohimbine in it’s strongest form, and a product called Vigor is what you need to keep the blood flowing through your Mr. Johnson.  It helps women reach orgasm, but is especially effective for me. Omega 3′s are best as either wild salmon oil, or believe it or not, seal oil.  Support the Newfoundland fishing industry, and buy some of the native seal oil tablets.  They have almost double the Omega 3 oil, and is very good for your weenie.

EEK! Stretchmarks and penis sizes

NotgrabbingI get a bunch of e-mails from women who are so worried about what they look like naked. As a fellow woman with hips, I know how concerning it is to get naked in front of someone new for the first time.  Men, look, but most aren’t expecting porn star bodies, and just want enthusiasm in the bedroom. Guys, it seems, are fretting about the size of their equipment.  Actual, penis size is one of the top three questions I get from men. (premature ejaculation, and erections round it out).  And I tell them that average is better!!!! Too big, and you’re banging away at the back of her vagina, causing her ovaries to get jostled, and feeling like you’re getting stabbed, as he thrusts to what feels like the back of your throat.  I have way more patients come to see me with problems of being too big, rather than too small.  Just for the record, average is about 4-5 inches.  You can look hot and please your partner if you’re only packing a 3 inch dick. It’s much more important what it feels like in girth (width) than length.  We can handle  delivering a baby with a head the  size of a cantelope, but can olny handle a maximum of 5 -6 inches in our little caves.

I’ll give you the dirt on increasing your size, and finding out  what men  really want from thier partners in tomorrow’s blog.  Oh, here is my podcast  on penis size for your listening pleasure.Download sex_with_sue_minute_orgasms.mp3
