The Year of The Weight Lifter

strongBy Briana Bookerv/strong I came to the realization that I am no longer 17 years old. My body is not as fast as it use to be. My body is not as slim as it use to be. But here I stand as the best woman I have ever been thus far. I guess it is true, looks are not everything. Although I am aging, I still want to keep up my health and appearance. I will never be someone that settles for letting myself go. I love myself. With that said, I would like to push myself to be better than my previous self by dedicating a few hours weekly to weight lifting. I am working on my core, which I notice is not as fit as it use to be. The love of my life ( or I would like to think he is the love of my life) thinks my new found curves are beautiful but I want the 17 year old me to travel with the wonderful woman I am becoming now. Who knows, I might just surpass the 17 year old me. I am up for the challenge. Stay tuned.

4 Ways To Have Spicy and Fierce Sex (Without the Sex): Casual dating to Commitment

By Briana Booker

Are you looking for ways to keep your developing romantic relationship passionate and healthy, while transitioning from casual dating to a healthy and committed relationship? If yes, Fromgirltogirl is here to help by giving you ways to have spicy, sexy and fierce, mindblowing sex without having sex with your partner. Read below to learn!

Sex is never anything you want to rush into in a relationship, if you are truly looking for a healthy and committed relationship. Trust me, sex is not the most important element of a healthy,romantic commitment but it sure does not hurt to keep it exciting.

You will never win someone’s love or commitment to you,if you are always readily available to give sex. If you can not respect yourself, no one will respect you sexually, mentally or spiritually.

But enough with the mommy warnings, you can get the man or woman of your dreams by exciting his or her interest. You should not give him or her what he or she wants right from the start. You have to learn how to grow his or her anticipation of what he or she can have completely for his or herself, if  in a committed relationship with you and only you.

Do not be the “main chick” or “man dude”. If you are okay with the degrading title and the actions that come with that title, you need to appreciate yourself more.

But with that said, here are 4 ways to have mindblowing sex that will help you grow commitment with the one you want and not the one you settle for:

Say Proudly You are not Going to Have Sex with Your Partner.

Yes, this sounds strange but it works. The perfect time to do this is during a make-out session with your significant other. Make sure you are looking the person directly in the eyes, so the person knows you are being serious. But do not stop what you are doing. It makes the person know what he or she can not have right now but that anything besides sex is up for grabs. It makes him or her want to earn being worthy of having you in that sense. It will also teach respect and taking the time and effort to respect you.

Use Your Hands

Forget sex and oral sex. You were given hands to explore and to accomplish tasks. With your hands you can be specific with placement, speed, and pressure. When you are with your partner be subtle, graceful and attentive. It will make your partner feel appreciated.

And you can do this just about anywhere – at  the movie showing , a car, or under a table cloth. Do what makes you happy.

Fantasy

Yes, your hands can do plenty, especially when it comes to acting out your partner and your fantasies. Dress up or do not dress up.  Use massage oils and a towel. Relax your partner. Trust me, it will make him or her happy to be cater by you.

Never Underestimate the Power of the Element of Surprise

You can always spice up your sexual and romantic life with the element of surprise. Unexpected but welcoming physical and emotional attention are always amazing to do towards your special someone. It does not matter if intercourse is involved in the matter or not, your partner and you will enjoy getting to know each other better.

Little gestures and caresses during breakfast or affectionate notes hidden in places your partner will find them will keep you on his or her mind all day.  He or she will look forward to alone time with you as soon as possible.
