London, United Kingdom - Amora London is the world’s first visitor attraction dedicated to love and relationships. During its 11 month run well over 300,000 people have visited the interactive experience in Piccadilly, London. I guess I have to admit that I was one of the 300,000 visitors
Some facts of interest include:
>> 62% of visitors are couples
>> 52% are Londoners
>> The majority of visitors are between 25 and 50 years of age
>> 23% of visitors are returning visitors
>> Women bring their office friends and later these women bring their husband/partner/boyfriend for a visit
>> proactive, educational and entertaining for the lover in all of us
>> The perfect place for adults to explore and engage on key aspects of relationships, love and also their well-being.
>> 48% of visitors are from overseas - mainly North America and Japan
>> The best mixture from science, art, performance and virtual reality

Earlier this year a survey run by Amora showed that the female is the catalyst to drive her partner to take her to visit Amora.
It seems that the British public is keen to understand more about relationships and becoming the perfect lover.
“Amora is totally inclusive, interactive, engaging, sensual, and chic. You will be amused, educated and amazed by its content,” says Dr. Sarah Brewer, Director of Exhibits, and award-winning sexual health writer.
Watching this makes me think what is it about these facts we all don’t already know? What ‘Unknown Facts about Sex’ could YOU share with us? Don’t keep us in the dark and let us know… !!
Sex at The Workplace - Are You Doomed To Be Slutty?
Sexuality?
Sexy clothing?
Sexual fantasies?
Sexual harassment?
Most work places are full of this kind of thing. And of course, it won’t stop being forbidden or denied.
What happens when you feel the energy, the attraction to these creative, smart, attractive, handsome and/or good looking people you are working with? You are working very closely on projects together, have dead-lines and than you find “these” thoughts racing through your mind? No doubt, some of us have had their ‘own’ experience with this stuff. Not a lot you can do to stop these thoughts racing through your head is there?
Have you ever noticed what a great ‘ice-breaker’ a ‘flirty’ joke can be? It could also be a ‘great’ end to your career though.
And how about these men who are ‘allowed’ to ‘groom’ themselves. They can be as attractive as they want. But what happens if a women do? Aren’t they likely to be doomed ‘slutty’?
What are the rules?
Who’s made the rules?
Why were those rules made?
Where are the lines?
What are the boundaries?
… and WHAT do you think some of the issues are why this is happening?
Masturbation! A ‘tricky’ subject for some women, although most enjoy “doing it” on a regular basis. And I tell you, there are only a few who would be comfortable with openly talking about it, and I mean not even with their significant other.
From my personal research I find that quite often this has to do with how we have been brought up. Being taught that it is inappropriate and unnecessary, YES, we have even been told that it a dirty “act”.
Isn’t it lucky that our mindsets are fully reversible? I promise you, this is easier than you think.
Go on, all she needs a bit of encouragement. And yes, of course a man who is willing to let her choose the pace. Try it and it won’t be long before she will discover how much masturbation is a turn-on for the two of you.
Are you aware that most men can climax without any problems? But what about us women? We just aren’t build that way. Most women have to learn how to reach an Orgasm. That’s a fact!!
Most people don’t realise that if you happen to be a woman, ‘coming’ isn’t all that easy. That’s another fact!
Let’s face it, in these days, wherever you look, be it reading a book, watch a film, look at teen and women’s mags, all ‘paint’ a very nice picture showing today’s females as hot, sex on legs, raring to go, simply orgasmic without any effort.
So how about the women who are neither of the above? And believe me, the number is higher than you imagine. At it’s very best, the media is unhelpful and at it’s worse, the picture the media ‘paints’ is painful and also damaging for most. Teen’s and 20-plus have the tendency to believe that there is something seriously wrong with them. And if they can’t climax to order, they even feel frigid. This is far from the truth. The fact is that mostly they are absolutely normal.
Most younger women don’t ‘manage’ to reach an orgasm until some considerable time after having started sexual activities. AND, if and when they do ‘come’, they do so in a variety of different ways.
Would you believe that:
=> 47 % of women climax for the first time through masturbation
=> 32 % of women climax through sexual intercourse
=> 20 % of women climax through petting
=> 1 % of women climax whilst sleeping
=> the most common age for a woman to reach her first orgasm is 18 years, BUT it could also be as late (or even later) as 40 years…..
I found that one generation away doctors believed that a high number of the female population simply could not climax. The reason being that in sexual medicine, doctors had little or no training at all. And also, they are to embarrassed about sex themselves, not to mention talking about it. They try everything to avoid confrontation, avoid having a discussion with their patients. At that time, from a medical point of view, most medical professionals didn’t rate the importance of the female orgasm, as for an example, in order to get pregnant, the female didn’t need to orgasm.
I would say that if you happen to experience difficulty in reaching that elusive orgasm, if you don’t climax or find it hard to, it’s a good idea “practising” and “exploring” it yourself. And PLEASE, don’t feel it isn’t something you shouldn’t be doing. Masturbation is the “key” in order to learn exactly what pressures, what rhythm you need/like/prefer or even how to stimulate your clitoris to reach the longed for orgasm.
It may feel embarrassing at first, but once you have “learned” how to climax, show it to your partner. Show him what he needs to do to make you ‘come’. Learn to communicate with him. Tell him about your feelings. How you like your body being touched. And if it makes it easier at first, when you can’t express yourself, use caresses. Once you get comfortable and relaxed with your partner, you will love it!
I’d be interested hearing from you and your experiences.
It is soooo true! I know exactly how it feels not getting your ‘size’ when you are ‘bigger’ than most…and YES, I do also believe that male bra designers prefer smaller boobs, or what happened to the ‘larger‘ than ‘large‘ “Attractive Containers“ designs?
I realized today that male bra designers prefer small boobs. I can prove that because it is nearly impossible for anyone with big boobs to find a bra that is even remotely attractive. For those of us who are well endowed, it seems that bras are for utilitarian purposes only, that is, to hold those boulders up where they belong. No, instead of those cute, colorful bras for the tiny-titty-B-cup-and-under set, we get white, black or tan (and sometimes pink!!) industrial strength bras whose only embellishment might be some itchy lace. Let’s put some of that lace on your y-fronts, shall we, boys? And let’s not forget to mention that these same behemoths have shoulder straps that could double as seatbelts. Jesus fucking Christ. Have some imagination, will you? … … to read more, click here : If Men Had Boobs
To me pregnancy is amongst the most sensual, sexual time in a woman’s life, but not many think “orgasmic” when they see a pregnant woman in all her “belly beauty“.
Did you know that pregnant women often top the list of expressing lustfully sexual desires? Increased sexual appetite? And also intensity? Quite often that comes as a surprise to their partner’s delight or even confusion with every “ripening” day.
After all, us women ‘suffer’ from hormones during that time. Most of us are blessed with better hair and skin and it makes us feel more gorgeous than it ever has. Well, it certainly has had that effect on me many years ago.
A lot of women experience increased sexual urges during their first or even their second part of their pregnancy for reasons beyond their control and mother nature is speeding up a woman’s sex drive. Vaginal lubrication increases. Breasts get larger. And not to forget the flow of blood to the genitals increases for heightened sensitivity. The woman literally becomes a “passion playground” for herself and her partner.
In a pregnant woman’s third part of pregnancy, her dream state changes. Dreams may increase and may even become more of sexual nature. More erotic… more physical… more varied… sleep becomes lighter, which makes it easier to remember and recall dreams, visions and also her nocturnal orgasm(s). And of course, sharing her nightly “visions” with her other half could be the cause for even more ‘real life action’.
Feeling more sexy, the increased genital blood flow, greater sensitivity of the vulva and not to forget unexpected fantasies add to a more orgasmic woman. It may even be that this is the time where some women experience spontaneous multiple orgasms during love making.
During pregnancy, many couples experience some of their most intense love-making. Sex is a way of staying connected. Both physically and emotionally, which is crucial factor during this time. Mutual happiness tends to decrease post-birth and as sexual intimacy is the most vulnerable area, staying intimate makes couples feel closer and they also more easily re-connect post-partum.
We are creatures of habit and that even includes most of what we do sexually. That means that also the way we make love becomes a habit. We do it the same way, same positions and even on the same days. For most people sex has become a ‘goal-orientated’ activity. With the goal being the Orgasm. But we lose out on the pleasure along the way, as we get so lost in rushing to get there.
We could really get involved with our partner, if we took the Orgasm completely out of the equation, stopped being so concerned and hung-up with the end result, and if we were fully present, the pleasure we could get from that would be so much greater and the intimacy would be so much deeper.
You just think, sex with the lights off. How intimate can you be? Or how intimate can you be when your eyes are closed and you are lost in some kind of fantasy? In those moments, how connected are you really to your partner?
I am not suggesting that you don’t have Orgasms. Far from it. It is quite simple. I am suggesting to be fully present with your partner. Acknowledge the love you share and acknowledge each other. During lovemaking look into each others eyes. It kind of ‘forces’ you to be fully in the moment with your partner. I am sure you have heard the expression “the eyes are the windows to the soul“. Therefore looking into each others eyes gives you both the opportunity to share a soul connection. By doing that, you go beyond the physical into something deep and far more special.
CHEATING - What would you do if you were faced with this issue?
Sometimes we all face the ‘common’ dilemma that many friendships have to face. We find out that our friend’s partner was cheating. Have you told your friend? Were you honest? Did you pretend you weren’t aware and just got on with your life knowing what’s going on? What happened - and what were the consequences? Was it the end of the friendship?
Well, you decided not to tell. Do you have any regrets by not telling? If you could turn back the clock, would you tell again? Were you to scared to tell? Or was it that you thought some things are better not to be spoken about? Did your friend find out?
Has this happened to you? Did you ever find out? If you have, how did you react? What did you do?
But most of all - If it was you, who was cheated on, would you want someone to tell you? Would you want to know? This really is the question… !
