According to a recent study of kissing, good kissing technique can pave the way to a long-term relationship—and the sex that comes with it—or leave you spending the night alone. And when you're in a committed relationship, your girlfriend or wife still judges you by your kisses. Whether it's your first kiss or your fiftieth, "women, more so than men, use kissing as an assessment device," says Susan M. If she's kissing you slowly, she wants more of a sensual experience. Hughes led the study at the University of Albany, which found that men and women not only kiss for different reasons, they also prefer different types of kissing. And a good kiss can lead to many more. "The first kiss is a deal-breaker in terms of determining how the relationship will play out. Jen, a 27-year-old from New York City, says she'd start a relationship with a guy based on his kissing. The First Kiss What's your best kissing strategy? Lips are important too.
Online Psychology Resources Your Body Language Art by LaetitziaAs we all know, communication is essential in society. Advancements in technology have transformed the way that we correspond with others in the modern world. Because of the constant buzz in our technological world, it's easy to forget how important communicating face-to-face is. When conversing old-school style, it's not only speech we verbalize that matters, but what our nonverbal gestures articulate as well.

Casanova's Principles of Sex and Seduction Despite an unremarkable mug, no man is more renowned for his power over women than Giacomo Casanova. In fact, his name has become synonymous with seduction. During his 73 years, he made love to noblewomen, actresses, dancers, chambermaids, Greek slave girls, a priest's niece, a farmer's daughter, five sisters (plus their mother), a transvestite, a hunchback (with "an excitingly misplaced vulva"), a nymphomaniac, and two unrepentant nuns -- 132 ladies in all. And we're here to tell you it's possible. That's all there is to it. "Unlike the fictional Don Juan or the Marquis de Sade, Casanova wasn't a sexual predator," says Ted Emery, Ph.D., an assistant professor of Italian at Dickinson College and a noted Casanovist. To gain a better understanding of this man's genius (without reading all 12 volumes of his autobiography), we attended a Casanova dinner at Sotheby's Institute of Art in New York City. So what did Casanova do that night? Casanova Commandment #1 Transform Your Body!
10 Ways Our Minds Warp Time How time perception is warped by life-threatening situations, eye movements, tiredness, hypnosis, age, the emotions and more… The mind does funny things to our experience of time. Just ask French cave expert Michel Siffre. In 1962 Siffre went to live in a cave that was completely isolated from mechanical clocks and natural light. When he tried to measure out two minutes by counting up to 120 at one-second intervals, it took him 5 minutes. But you don’t have to hide out in a cave for a couple of months to warp time, it happens to us all the time. 1. People often report that time seems to slow down in life-threatening situations, like skydiving. But are we really processing more information in these seconds when time seems to stretch? To test this, Stetson et al. (2007) had people staring at a special chronometer while free-falling 50 metres into a net. 2. We’ve all experienced the fact that time seems to fly when we’re having fun. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Time is relative
Relationship Rules | Psychology Today - StumbleUpon Human beings crave intimacy, need to love and be loved. Yet people have much trouble doing so. It's clear from the many letters I get that lots of folks have no idea what a healthy relationship even looks like. Because I care about these things, and care about the environments children grow in, I'm using this space as an attempt to remedy the problem—again. From many sources and many experts, I have culled some basic rules of relationships. This is by no means an exhaustive list. Choose a partner wisely and well. Sexual Attraction: Reading Body Language During my freshman year of college, I attended a traffic-light party at the student-union bar. Attendees were to wear red, yellow, or green to indicate their degree of sexual availability. As it turned out, I was the only partyer wearing an all-green outfit. Since then, however, I've always held out hope that there might be a way to reckon the workings of the female mind and, like some libidinous supervillain, that I could harness that power. So imagine my surprise when I learned that there does, in fact, exist a way to discern women's wants and needs, likes and dislikes with nary a word being uttered. The "secret" is nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication predates spoken language in humans by hundreds of thousands of years, is used by just about every species on the planet, and is almost certainly a more reliable gauge of someone's thinking than the torrent of garbage that spills from our mouths. What does that mean to you? Transform Your Body!

Sex and Relationships: Understanding Women via the Romance Novel One of my female friends maintains that you can't understand women without reading romance novels, just as you can't understand men without watching porn. Romance novels, she says, embody the hopes, dreams, and fantasies of many -- though not all -- women, just as porn embodies the hopes, dreams, and fantasies of many -- though not all -- men. (Right, all men; what was she thinking?) But then my friend told me that, in contemporary romantic fiction, oral sex and even a smidgen of good-natured lesbianism are increasingly common. It seems porn and romance novels are converging. That got my attention. So I signed up for the Put Your Heart in a Book Conference, sponsored by the New Jersey Romance Writers Organization. Until my friend opened my eyes to the potential for girl-on-girl action, I believed that most contemporary romance novels were bodice rippers with names like My Heart Is in the Highlands; My Brain Could Be Just about Anywhere.
