What sexual cues turn women on? Here's a hint-interest is sexy! 32% of women lack sexual interest, according to study by Meston & McCall. The study found that increased sexual cues resulted in increased frequency for females. Female sexual desire has a more emotional component to it; Women are more externally triggered in relationship factors and setting; connection and presence. Laurie & George break down the cues for you in this week's episode....

EFT walks couples through a de-escalation process, but what sets EFT apart is Stage Two. The second stage focuses not on \"what's wrong\" but on making things right in the relationship.In stage two, couples learn to replace the negative cycle with a positive. They create \"new moves.\" The script in this episode is about compassionately sharing and accepting each other's needs.By integrating these new moves into your relationship through better communication, you can...

When someone is committed to fidelity and their partner absolutely does not want sex-is there any hope?The danger of a sexless marriage is that the couple may not feel the love of or for their partner and become subject to the temptation of others. They may long for the sexual connection they shared in the beginning; George and Laurie share some ideas about how taking their clothes off again can be safer.

This episode is all about finding balance in Yin, Yang, and sex. Combining Yin and Yang in the bedroom requires honoring our evolving natures. The balance is ever-changing because people are ever-changing. In the bedroom, that means honoring and asking, \"Where am I now? Where is my partner now? What do I want now?\" Both Yin and Yang are needed for our sex lives to flourish. Partners in relationships can both be dominant in one type, but we most often see opposites attract.

Want to explore new moves with your partner, but don't know how to ask? How can Pursuers approach and encourage their Withdrawer partner to open their mind to new things?When we want variety or want to suggest something new to our partner, energy and enthusiasm can carry the day. When there is reluctance, a Pursuer needs to resist the wish to fall back and at least bring their heart and passion.

All gas, no brakes!! We're using our acronym B.E.S.T. sex to talk about turn ons and turn offs. What works, and what doesn't work. Body, Emotional, Spiritual, and Thoughts... Use B.E.S.T. to be more intentional and find practical tactics to apply to your relationship. The best love is when you feel safe, safe enough to take risks and know you'll still be accepting. A big part of great sex is to keep growing together, and the best lovers are vulnerable.

What can we learn from Hollywood about balancing sexual 'yin and yang'? In this episode, we'll focus on sensuality as a pure act of giving, and on the importance of balance between the yin (sensuality) and the yang (assertiveness) of sex. Shifting from yang to yin asks us to unravel our unrealistic views of sex, and Hollywood occasionally provides the perfect how-to guide. Let's talk about three movies with scenes that perfectly capture yin sensuality...

Do you feel stuck in the negative cycle? What's not working? Couples usually understand what's not working, but not what they could do differently. It is difficult for pursuers to understand where their withdrawer partner is coming from... and vice versa. But you are not helpless victims to the negative cycle! There are things you can do; You can control own your new moves. You can learn new ways to approach your partner that recognizes their needs.

Not fair. Women have less orgasms than men; Laurie and George talk about the disturbing stats. Why is this happening? Do men still not know how a woman gets aroused and reaches orgasm? Are we as parents and a culture teaching young women and men about what a female bodies might need? Women are socialized to give instead of to get. And men are more shaped to get what they need. George volunteers that women also need \"fairplay\" not just foreplay.

Keeping connected is easier when we're in green brain - when our brain says we are safe, cared about and even loved - when we can relax, talk, listen with openness. Red brains are escalated, tense, maybe angry or in total shut down.

The million dollar question! (for pursuers) how do you get someone to pursue their own pleasure. In our Q&A, Laurie and George see a reader's point. For so many reasons it works better when your partner is engaged sexually - they supply desire that fuels the sexual fun, it's a turn-on to see your partner in uninhibited abandon plus it takes the pressure off from always having to initiate. But there's a flip side that is often dynamic.

Within the sexual cycle, shame takes many forms. We might feel shame over what we've done, things that have been done to us, or over our desires and fantasies. If one partner brings up a new sex act and their partner has a disgusted reaction, it can create deep shame for even bringing it up or disgust at one's self for having \"such\" ideas, further fueling the shame cycle.How do we close the gap and find attunement within this mismatched experience?

We often use the word \"tango\" in EFT in context of the cycles, patterns, or feedback loop that couples can get stuck in. How do you change that dynamic? To break free from the negative cycle you have to see the interdependency - it takes effort, vulnerability, and engagement from BOTH partners. Change can't happen without meeting each other halfway!

All of us have struggles communicating, and these struggles often seep into the bedroom. As sex and couples therapists, we often run into couples who avoid talking about sex and sexual needs. Instead, they defer to an avoidant-style habit that can be a sex life killer: making assumptions. When we make up stories about our partner, it kills the curious drive that creates sexual magic. When we assume our partner knows what we want, we forfeit the possibility of getting our needs met.

Which way does your partner like it best? Does seduction begin with the way you drink your coffee in the morning like it does with Laurie? Are you missing each other because of a style difference?

Because sexual Pursuers are usually the sexual initiator, they are often facing rejection. Over time they become anxious about initiating.
