I pulled in to the driveway at 3:30 this morning, after a late flight from Calgary and then a drive from Ottawa. Keith and I were speaking at a Weekend to Remember conference in Banff. Yes, poor me, I had to go to Banff! Oh, my goodness, it was gorgeous!
Anyway, I'm still exhausted, but I thought you may enjoy this five minute clip of me from the "sex" talk explaining why sex for women is all in her head:
Thinking of relationship and communication as a "higher" form of interaction than sex is a very difficult thought pattern to break. I fear that I will not get the conversation I crave even after enough sex (although how much is "enough"?) because he will be fully satisfied with just the sex. We simply don't desire the same thing in a relationship and even after years of trying to accept that I am still not quite resigned to it.
I've often told friends that they need to do whatever is necessary to allow themselves to concentrate on their husband's and their own pleasure in lovemaking. Create the atmosphere. (Which may mean clean the bedroom first, light candles, play music, check the stove four times to make sure it's off.) You are SO right about how important the head game is for women.
Also, how fun to see you speak after reading your tweets and blogs for a while! Excellent job.
About Me: I'm a Christian author of a bunch of books, and a frequent speaker to women's groups and marriage conferences. Best of all, I love homeschooling my daughters, Rebecca and Katie. And I love to knit. Preferably simultaneously.
Stumble It!
I really enjoyed watching this!! Thanks for posting it!
