  3. low libido...in men

    So you are stuck in the mirror of my relationship I'm really sorry. Just a few thoughts. I've spent years offering oral along with various other approaches, all basically variations on begging With hugely different levels of drive it's very difficult for the active partner to avoid pestering all the time (e.g. you just asked me last month, but I've been waiting for an ENTIRE MONTH) {you can even replace month with years} Not sure about you but it often feels like "if I could just get enough I'd be happy to back off to a lot less". You finally have some success and want more of the same (at last) , they have "given in" and therefor want a break for a bit.... 2 recent ideas that have helped. 1. Treat your partner like a cat not a dog. i.e. If you want a cat to come play with you, try to ignore it and just do something interesting you like. Eventually it will investigate. A bit of a refocus on the oral offer, there are plenty of sexy things you can "accidentally" be discovered doing. Always fun (usually) for guys 2. another one is I talk WAY to much about sex and intimate things, I especially enjoy talking about "last time" it basically embarrasses my partner, a lot. So I now have a "talking stick" and I won't bring up sex stuff without the talking stick (& she can hide /steal it) Could seriously destroy everything, or make your life livable. Sex isn't everything so if there is other great stuff in the relationship and sex is the deal breaker could be worth a try. If you can make it work it really takes the pressure off everyone. BTW. "He preforms quiet well" I hope you didn't tell him that, even when true anything less that "Best EVER" is really depressing unless you are super confident...... well even then it hurts I would also consider looking into some Pick Up Artist stuff, just for yourself.
  4. So anyone remember any issues from the end of last year? (yes) do they still matter (no)
  5. edit: actually that's not really fare of me, I did a bit of a posted topic search and it's just that I remember those sort of threads more than the others. However I can't help myself N.B. 2005 from http://www.thetaobums.com/index.php?showtopic=343 So no need to answer it's just how you are, all good love Mal
  6. The Sun Salutations have been going very well. Glad I changed over. I've been doing easy sets of 2 (i.e. one step back per leg) at 9,10 and 11 in the morning and then with a bit more upper body focus at 1,2, and 3 the afternoon at work. Plus whatever I feel like on the weekends (usually only 2 or 3x as opposed to 6) Easy. Enjoyable. Relaxing yet also energizing. Flexibility is improving (more range of movement in toe touches and stepping back towards hands) Posture improving, spinal erectors stronger, can feel spine elongate when stretching up. No loss of upper body strength for 10~15 rep fingertip pushups, which it all I ever have to do for class. Have not tested to failure for normal hindi pushups but as mentioned I don't really need excessive upper body strength. Feel stronger but that is subjective. Seems to be no effect on leg strength (but I do a lot of other stuff too) but my left knee is no longer continually sore like it was when doing squats. Guess everyday squatting is not for me at my weight. Doing a 10~15 min session of combat conditioning is still the best pure strength and endurance improver but there is more happening with Sun Salutations than you would expect from just a simple exercise. Although I guess I have plugged a fair bit of KAP into it with 5 point, hair and testy breathing along with connecting to the universe. If that makes any sense Will be interesting to see how long I keep practicing, so far lots of fun
  7. Requesting change @ TTB seems to be a relatively reoccurring theme for you... Why? And what happened to the serious study group idea for the book club? (just thoughts that spring to mind )
  8. Tao Blog

    Wow, never even knew this was here http://www.thetaobums.com/blogs.html Pretty quiet, I guess it's like reviews and live chat i.e. not often used.
  9. Spirituality without an afterlife

    Evander we have had some cool DMT threads here, although being a 3 letter word I'm unsure how to search out one for you. (edit: try Goggle "site:http://www.thetaobums.com dmt") Mmmmm, never thought of it from that angle, thanks Pat.
