Nothing can be as worse as being sexually abused and then left alone in the hands of fate for life. Women who go through such a trauma in their lives are shattered for life and find it extremely hard to difficult in remarrying and to start a new life all over again. Due to post traumatic stress disorder these women are torn between their past and present. Love isn't supposed to hurt, but for too many women, physical and sexual abuse are part of their lives. Domestic violence experts estimate that 2 to 4 million women are battered each year. But domestic violence – an assault by a husband or boyfriend – doesn't always come in the most dramatic, headline-grabbing forms. Emotional and verbal abuse, date rape and more subtle forms of violence happen to women and girls of all ages. Are you – or is your daughter – in a potentially abusive relationship? Domestic violence is not about anger, says Michigan psychiatrist Laura McMahon, MD, who teaches young women what behaviors are – and are not – appropriate in a relationship. “Domestic violence is about domination, manipulation and control.” And abusive behavior often starts when a couple is just dating, she says.

Do you find it awkward, embarrassing or difficult to talk with your husband or wife about what feels good in sex, what feels great and what feels out of this world? Part of learning about the wonderful act of sex is finding out what feels best to you.This requires that both of you take time and to touch and carress all parts of each other's body while sharing with each other your experience. Your goal is to find what sensitive areas of your body help you enjoy sex the most.Sexual fears, taboos and attitudes as well as withheld negative feelings and secrets choke off spontaneity, energy and pleasure in marriage sex. Sharing sexual fears and sex secrets as well as sexual peak experiences and sexual fantasies is a powerful way to deepen the intimacy in your relationship and boost the passion meter in your marriage.Here is a simple, yet powerful, communication exercise that will free your sexual energy and promote trust and intimacy.

A relationship demands sacrifices. Both the partners sacrifice to make the relationship work. Recently I was with a couple and I was listening to the sacrifices the wife had made. She said- I used to paint when I was young. I was a dancer. I loved hiking. I loved outdoor sports. But now I am so overwhelmed with kids and home that I have no time for myself. I did not ask the husband but I am sure that he has also given up many things to make the relationship work. The question is do either of them feel grateful to the other for the sacrifices? I think that many times we forget that. Let us explore this more.Many relationships destroy person’s desires. Women are anyway expected to give up more to look after family. If her husband is callous about her desires she feels very bad. That may begin a break-up. Though men may not give up as much as women they also give up lot of freedom. Acknowledgment of this is very important. I may have sacrific

All of us seem to have a craving for power. We are all driven to get control over the situations we find ourselves in, and mostly, over our partners.We think to ourselves - "If she would only do what we want her to do," or "If he would only do what I need him to do," then life would be better. In some ways, these things might be true.How we go about getting what we want often turns into attempts to get power and control over our partners. This, of course, happens when we ourselves feel powerlessWhen we feel powerless we feel overwhelmed, out of control and helpless. It’s unbearable. So, we try desperately to regain a sense of control.

Mention it and you can clear a room faster than yelling “FIRE!”So what do we all have against this poor little piece of latex?Well, it can be an awkward addition to a passionate event… sort of the third party of a love triangle you don’t want to deal with.But practically speaking, you should always have a condom with you.Women should listen intently to this…

There is always a religious and scientific aspect of every topic on this earth so obviously contraceptives do also but has anyone thought of refraining from sex before your marriage its better to hold on to your emotions now and let go of yourself after marriage does it not seem like a fair deal. One of the purposes of marriage is for the procreation of human beings and building a society of righteous Muslims. When the issue of contraception is considered, it is firstly useful to categorise the different forms of contraception into two groups: those that permanently render a person unable to have children (vasectomy, tubal ligation and so on), and those that are temporary (such as condoms, the contraceptive pill and the IUD/Coil). With regard to the first category, it is not allowed to permanently prevent oneself from conceiving unless there is a medical reason that would cause the woman great harm or to die should she become pregnant. With regard to the second category, whilst it is strongly disliked in Islam, it is not forbidden to use such measures as a temporary means of contraception for a period of time. However, those methods of contraception which are known to affect the health of either the man or woman (such as the IUD or the contraceptive pill) should be carefully considered as Muslims are not permitted to knowingly cause harm to themselves. The decision to use contraception should be a mutual decision as it is the right of both the husband and the wife to enjoy the blessing of having a family. The avoidance of having children due to fear of poverty is mentioned in the Qur'an and Allah tells us that He is the Provider and Sustainer. Contraception is no problem -- if you happen to be a camel. Some pebbles in the uterus will do it. So why is human contraception so complicated? The quick answer is that camels are not worried about sexually transmitted diseases. The trouble with contraception now is that it is being asked to do more than prevent preg...

A while back I sat with a beautiful older woman who had been struggling with depression for most of her life. She and her husband have been married close to 40 years, and their relationship has become distant, though they still report to love each other. I was shocked to learn that in 40 years she had never experienced a climax with her husband. She didn’t even know what it was until her body did it spontaneously during a dream. My grandmother was 65 before she had ever experienced one either. She had been married to my grandfather for 50 years. After he died a man she had known in high school contacted her and eventually they married. Only then, at 65 did she discover what sex was all about. That was 20 years ago. I foolishly have thought that women today are not in that same boat; that with all the sexual education there is out there today, women couldn’t possibly not know about climaxing. Obviously, I was wrong. As I sat looking at my client who had opened up about this for the first time in her life I realized that there must be other women out there like her. I am sure she is not the only one.It would be easy to blame the husbands for not being sensitive to their wives needs, but that would be wrong. The reality is that these men know as little about sex as their wives. I cannot imagine that men who love their wives would knowingly not want their wives to enjoy their sexual relationship. But they are obviously unaware of what is happening with their wives and have never really enjoyed true physical intimacy with their partner. How terribly sad this is for both partners.

Even in this sexually ‘open’ age, people are often worried because they've had dreams with a sexual content. In particular, it can be very disturbing if, in a dream, you do something that would be totally shocking for you in real life! For instance, a woman who leads an extremely chaste and respectable life may be troubled by dreams in which she has rampaging sex with dozens of handsome males.Similarly, a man who prides himself on being 'straight' and who actually dislikes homosexuals, may be quite shattered to find that he has dreams in which he is engaging in sexual fondling with some good-looking guy!However, a lot of people are not disturbed by their sexual dreams and simply enjoy them for what they are. This is normally the best attitude to take.

During Pregnancy: It is safe to have sex throughout pregnancy, as long as, there are no other issues, such as vaginal bleeding or any other complications. If there are any, or you suspect that there may be, you should contact your doctor or midwife immediately.As pregnancy progresses couples may have to experiment with positions which will maximize the woman's comfort, and allow her to control the amount of penetration. If she is experiencing any discomfort the use of a lubricant might be helpful.
