Here’s the podcast to listen to for great dating advice

May 21, 2018 No Comments

Are you single and ready to find true love? Are you in a relationship, but experiencing a rough patch? Many of us know the feeling, searching for answers on how to not only find a loving relationship but also keep it up. Although your best friend and family may be there to help you wipe your tears away after a breakup or heartache, sometimes you just need an unbiased source to give you some great dating advice and help you develop healthy relationship goals to make your dating or romantic life more satisfying. Some daters opt for a therapist, but you may want to seek the latest trend of getting solid dating advice… listening to a dating podcast.

Hear us out: At fromgirltogirl.com we recently started listening to The Date Podcast which features new episodes every week, with every podcast being an interesting topic. Marriage and family therapist Emma Pineda and mobile app entrepreneur Zorric Sia launched their new podcast series to help singles successfully navigate the ins and outs of the popular dating apps. The podcast covers the use of dating apps, etiquette, and news.

“Dating apps can be a great tool for men and women to find love, but without understanding how the apps work – and how singles ‘work’ the apps – they can raise as many questions as they answer, especially for new users,” said Pineda, a licensed marriage and family therapist.

Some of our favorite episodes thus far include Episode #5 – Slow Dating, Episode #4 – Don’t Have a Dirty Mirror, Episode #3 – To Ghost or Not to Ghost, and Episode #7 – How Clean is Clean?

Not only is the dating advice and wisdom on relationships valuable but we also cannot get enough of the two podcast hosts Pineda and Sia who are close friends and self-proclaimed foodies. Moreover, we are getting relationship advice from people well-informed on finding and sustaining healthy relationships. Sia focuses on the research and article aspects of the podcast show, while Pineda adds expertise with her therapeutic and counseling skills. We also love how they are on the quest to find “the one” just like we are.

Dating apps are supposed to help singles find great matches, but they often leave users with more questions than answers. This is why Pineda and Sia discuss how to best use dating apps, along with dating app etiquette and news for the podcast series.

In addition to the perspectives and stories provided by the hosts, The Date Podcast features guests who contribute their professional insights and personal experiences.

“We’re finding that everyone has their own dating app stories and no one is holding back from sharing them,” said Sia.

One weakness Sia found by using dating apps was the dependence on direct messaging and static photos. That prompted him to develop and launch bopsee, which is a video-based dating app. “Video prevents the dreaded – and all too common – experience of meeting someone for the first time and discovering that they look nothing like their profile picture,” Sia added.

Here is how you can connect with The Date Podcast on social media via @DatePodcast on Twitter and Instagram. Listeners can tune into The Date Podcast on the website DatePodcast.com, iTunes or Google. Their dating app bopsee can be downloaded on iTunes or Google as well.

The Date Podcast is always looking for different dating perspectives, including yours. If you’d like to be a special guest on the podcast or have an interesting dating experience to share, contact Pineda and Sia . They would love to have you.

March 29, 2018 No Comments

In 2018, modern brides and grooms are using technology in creative, unexpected ways to save time and money for the big wedding day. With love still in the air from Valentine’s Day and summer wedding season quickly approaching, check out these wedding lifehacks from the popular Burner mobile app. Couples can use the app to make the stressful experience of planning their wedding a little easier.

Wedding lifehacks available through Burner Connections

Easy RSVPs: Instead of collecting hundreds of paper postcards via snail mail, simply have your guests text your Burner number with their “happily accept”s and “regretfully decline”s. Burner’s Google Sheets connection will automatically add them to a spreadsheet, keeping you organized in real time.

Guest photo collection: Stop scouring Instagram and Facebook to find photos that your guests took at the event, have them text their pics to your Burner number. The Dropbox Burner Connection will easily collect them all in one folder for you.

Access a wedding guest text message hotline: Busy couples don’t have time to answer last-minute questions from guests who forgot the hotel address or when the cocktail hour starts. Use the Evernote Burner Connection to set up a text message hotline so they can simply text “hotel” to your Burner number and receive all the details in response automatically.

Voicemail “guestbook”: Instead of (or in addition to) a traditional guestbook, ask guests to call your Burner number and leave a voicemail with their well wishes or sharing their favorite story about you as a couple. The SoundCloud Burner Connection will collect your loved ones’ messages on a private SoundCloud playlist, so you can cherish them forever.

About Burner

Burner is a app millions of people use to create temporary phone numbers for various uses. Burner wants to make the phone number “smarter” and more like software, and created Burner Connections as part of this mission – a tool for people to link their Burner numbers to popular apps like Google Sheets, Evernote, SoundCloud and Dropbox to trigger automatic actions.

New study shows cheaters prioritize affair partners over spouses

February 13, 2018 No Comments

Happy Valentine’s Day! Ashley Madison has just released a new study examining how cheaters juggle their marriage and their affairs on Valentine’s Day. Turns out cheaters prioritize affair partners over spouses on V-Day.

Check out key findings

30% of cheaters rather spend V-Day w/ their affair partners
Cheaters are spending upwards of $250 on affair partners
Nearly one-third of cheaters celebrate Valentine’s Day with their affair partner

No more sidelines for the Side Piece this Valentine’s Day

Ashley Madison, the world’s leading married dating website, used its unprecedented access to people who cheat to find out how members juggle the romantic responsibility of celebrating their marriage and their extramarital relationship on the special day. As it turns out, cheaters spend Valentine’s Day very differently between their two partners and prioritizing a spouse is no longer the status quo with almost a third (28%) of survey respondents opting to spend it with their affair partner.

Spouse vs. Mistress/Misteress

With extramarital partners, people often aren’t looking to replace their spouse, they’re looking to fulfill unmet needs. That said, it’s clear there is a shift happening and the affair partner is rising up the ranks as it pertains to partner priority.

“Typically, holidays and special occasions are reserved for the spouse and the affair partner is sidelined,” says Isabella Mise, Director of Communications at Ashley Madison. “But for Valentine’s Day this year, we’re seeing that affairs of the heart can lead to new traditions with a greater importance being placed on the extramarital relationship.”

Also interesting is that respondents spend about the same amount of money on their primary partner as they do for their affair partner. According to the survey, more than a third of respondents say they spend between $100-$250 on their affair partner, while the same amount (36%) say they spend $100-$250 when asked how much they spend on their spouse. This is surprising because you’d think the main romantic holiday of the year would be reserved for the primary partner, but this implies there is no real distinction between how they view the importance of each relationship.

Cheaters spend the same amount on their spouse and affair partner, but spend the money in different ways.

When asked, 71% of respondents say they celebrate Valentine’s Day with their affair partner by having sex, whereas 73% spend Valentine’s Day with their spouse by having dinner. Cheaters are likely spending their money on their spouse during dinner while spending the same amount on things like a hotel room for the affair partner.

“Between how they spend their money and how they spend their time, the members surveyed are demonstrating that there is an increased investment being made with affair partners,” says Mise. “It will be interesting to see if this shift continues.”

Why people cheat: Filling the emotional voids

February 9, 2018 No Comments

Today Ashley Madison released a new study examining why people cheat. The main takeaway: besides sex, affair partners are helping cheaters fill emotional voids that spouses aren’t. Here are key findings from the study:

Cheaters found more affection (44%) and friendship (42%) w/ affair partners vs. spouses
Cheaters say affair partners helped them regain confidence (29%) and feel more desired (48%)

The full study has more interesting data. Here are highlights:

According to the survey, sex is the number one reason people choose to cheat (61%), but the other reasons also show a great deal about why some relationships experience infidelity. Cheaters are actively trying to fill a void in their lives, in their marriages, and in their relationships. Some want to expand the physical elements like exploring new desires (45%), while others are looking for emotional reassurance like affection (44%), friendship (42%) and the feeling of butterflies again (30%).

“The reasons why people cheat are very telling of the types of relationships that people find themselves in,” says Isabella Mise, Director of Communications for Ashley Madison. “When sex and intimacy fade, often times monogamy becomes a struggle for our members but they don’t want to leave their partner altogether. Infidelity is an avenue for them to have certain needs met and stay happy in their primary relationship.”

Stray to Stay

Infidelity is often portrayed as an immoral act and is rarely looked at in a positive light. But the members of AshleyMadison.com aren’t necessarily looking to leave their spouse, they are looking to repair the emptiness that they are feeling. People find themselves in a family, in a loving marriage, in financial stability yet are lacking specific areas in those relationships. And that’s why sex comes up as a top reason for why people cheat. This doesn’t mean they’re looking to fully replace their spouse as 54% survey respondents are only seeking short-term dating. Furthermore, 50% of respondents said they cheat and not leave their spouse because they love their partner but are just looking for more sexual fulfillment.

As a result, survey respondents have revealed what it is they like about having affairs allows them to return to their marriage and their household unit as a happier more satisfied partner. Not surprisingly, for the majority it came down to the fact their sexual needs were met (76%). For others it made them feel more alive (51%), they felt desired (48%), their emotional needs were met (37%), and they regained their confidence (29%). These are all areas of life that people need to feel secure and be happy, and they get that from finding what they need outside of the marriage when their partner is unable to give them that.

Sure cheating comes with some downsides like potentially getting caught. But for the members of AshleyMadison.com, they aren’t too worried about it. When asked, 71% of respondents said they don’t feel guilty about cheating on their partner, nor is it the top concern for cheaters when entering an affair. So when it comes to cheating, is the risk worth the reward? If the reward means being happy again, then it seems like the answer is yes.

February 3, 2018 No Comments

Mini G Spot Vibrator for foreplay, masturbation and sex. — **We have a 15% discount just for you. Scroll to the end of the article for the code. Share with friends.**

From whips to bullet vibrators, the discussion of sex toys and overall sexual pleasure were topics to discuss behind closed doors. Lucky for us the world is changing and encourages us to think out loud about our deepest fantasies and so much more. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Fromgirltogirl is here to chat sex toys. Our new favorite on-the-go sex toy is the mini bullet vibrator.

About the mini bullet vibrator

Using a mini bullet vibrator has been on our bucket list for a while. We love that it is easy to use and carry around anytime we need it. Some may be surprised, but the mini is powerful for its size. The reason we decided to try the mini bullet is for clitoral stimulation, a favorite among sexual stimulation. But it can do so much more than a great orgasm.

Mini bullet vibrators are not solely for sexual pleasure. Feel free to use it for getting a massage. It feels great and gives better circulation of blood throughout the body. We even use it to relieve muscle pain and tension after working out.

The sex toy every woman should have

When we say every woman should have a mini bullet vibrator, we mean it. Here is what we love about it:

It has the power to give an orgasm in less than 3 minutes. The mini bullet vibrator is especially intense for clitoral stimulation but the toy can stimulate any part of the body.
The mini bullet vibrator can be used during sex as well as with other toys. One of the best ways to truly enjoy sex is to get to know your body. When you know your body, you know where you can reach the most pleasure and guide your sex partner to the right spots. Some favorite spots to use the mini bullet vibrator: the clitoris, nipples, and even the lower back.
The toy is portable. Yes, go and toss your vibrator in your handbag. You may even store it in your pocket. Why? It is a stress reliever when you need it and you never know when you will need that relief. No, you don’t have to use it on your vagina all the time. Sometimes you just need to massage your head because you have a headache. What works for you is what counts.
It makes for a great couples sex toy. For example, you can insert the mini bullet vibrator at the base of dildos, anal toys, or cock rings to offer vibration.

The mini bullet vibrator we got is easy to use, discrete. Watch the video below to learn more about the benefits:

Top 5 Favorite sex positions for men and women in 2018

January 27, 2018 No Comments

Ashley Madison reveals what makes extramarital sex so hot.

This week, Ashley Madison ,the world’s leading married dating website, a new study examining sexual preferences with spouses vs. affair partners. The results: affair partners are more daring and generous in bed.

Key Findings

53% never try new sex positions with their spouse while 93% try them with their affair partner
Only 38% use sex toys with their spouse while two-thirds (65%) do so with their affair partner
62% say their spouse performs oral on them but 94% say their affair partner gives them oral

Here are ways cheaters keep it sexy in the sack with these 5 positions

When it comes to extramarital affairs, is the sex hotter because desire and risk intersect? Does forbidden sex translate to more experimental sex? Ashley Madison surveyed a sample of its members to find out how they shake it up between the sheets with their affair partner, how this compares to sex with their spouse, and how men and women differ when it comes to seeking pleasure.

Doggy-Style Is Best in Show

When surveyed members were asked to name their favourite sex position, doggy-style took the top spot for men (53%) and women (57%). For men, this was followed by cowgirl (woman on top) at 37% and the more basic missionary (man on top) at 36%. Missionary took second place (33%) for women followed by the more nimble legs over the shoulder position (28%).

Top 5 Favorite Sex Positions For Males

Doggy-style – 53%
Cowgirl – 37%
Missionary – 36%
Sixty-nine – 31%
Legs over the shoulder – 30%

Top 5 Favorite Sex Positions For Females

Doggy-style – 57%
Missionary – 33%
Legs over the shoulder – 28%
Cowgirl – 25%
Legs up – 25%

Are surveyed members actually getting what they like? Not surprisingly, when asked what sex position they perform the most with their spouse the more basic missionary position ranked highest (60%). But when it comes to an extramarital partner, the most performed position is doggy-style (56%), followed by missionary (38%) and the cowgirl position (36%). Since doggy-style is the preferred position for females, it’s no wonder 83% said they are able to reach climax with their extramarital partner.

Playing inside (and outside) the marital bedroom

A lack of inhibition is much more common in extramarital encounters because they allow people to break out of their routine with someone they may or may not see again. That’s likely why 53% of respondents refrain from trying new sex positions with their spouse while 93% say they do try with their extramarital partner. It seems there is a greater willingness to infuse more adventure and creativity into their affair rather than improving the sex inside their marriage.

When it comes to play inside the bedroom, 38% admit to using sex toys with their spouse while more than half (65%) say they do so with their affair partner. As for roleplay, 16% engage in role play with their spouse compared to 48% engaging in role play with their extramarital partner.

What about giving and receiving? Almost three-quarters (74%) of respondents perform oral sex on their spouse with 62% saying their spouse performs oral sex on them. However, a whopping 90% say they perform oral sex on their extramarital partner with a further 94% saying their extramarital partner performs oral sex on them. Although many have oral sex with their spouse, there is a clearly more occurring between respondents in their extramarital relationships.

When asked where they prefer to have sex, most respondents (88%) said they like the mix it up both having sex inside and outside of the bedroom.

What to say when someone hurts your feelings and not hide your truth

October 14, 2017 No Comments

Ava Miles, who has recently released a new series of non-fiction books, is helping women let themselves be more comfortable expressing their inner goddesses. Miles shares with us on how to handle and what to say when someone hurts our feelings through her series “The Goddess Guides to Being a Woman.” If you read “Goddesses Don’t Do Drama: Removing Toxicity from Relationships,”which is one of the books from the series, it helps people get through relationship moments when they are feeling hurt or angry.

It takes courage to go from hurt to healing. What’s one of Ava’s secrets in knowing what to say when someone hurts your feelings? Transforming unhealthy relationship patterns.

According to Miles, many of us never learned how to express anger and sadness. Sometimes that may be the case because we are encouraged not to do so. We simply don’t know how to say things kindly when we’re upset. And sometimes it can make us physically ill and unhappy.

“You don’t have to walk away or wait until after the ‘f*ck you’ to speak your truth,” says Miles. It all begins with recognizing and removing victim/perpetrator language from the conversation.

What Is Victim/Perpetrator Language?

Here are some examples:

It’s all your fault.
You did this.
You’re to blame for this.
You’re wrong.
You’re not giving me enough.
This isn’t good enough.
You’re not pulling your weight.

Victim/perpetrator language is the language of drama. In order to get to the open-hearted, honest, loving communication we all crave — we need to begin to recognize and move away from the raised-voice or talk-to-the-hand variety. Ava invites us all to try our hand at goddess-woman language by using statements such as:

I feel…
What I think I hear you saying is…
This is hard for me to say, but I’d like to share this with you…
This doesn’t feel very loving or kind to me.
I want to understand.
My feelings are my responsibility.
I take responsibility for my part in _______.

“Goddess women use words that convey love, compassion, kindness, affirmation, and honesty,” says Miles. “Sure, we all have moments when we might not be able to package our feelings and thoughts into a big red bow, and that’s okay. We can be honest about that too.”
