Staying Sensual

Have You Lost Your Sexy?

I bet you feel sexy and sensual before you know it.
~Dr Nancy

Staying sensual and sexy is what it is all about for women in 2008. Have you lost your sexy? When was the last time you bought yourself some sexy underwear? Go and out find some and you will be surprised how sexy you look and feel.  Get out there and buy some now!!!!

Timeless Womenspeak Radio recently interviewed Dr Pepper Swartz, a sex educator, professor at University of Washington in Seattle. Pepper is an author, relationship expert on PerfectMatch.com and has appeared on The Today show and Oprah. In her new book, Prime: Adventures and Advice on Sex, Love and the Sensual Years, Dr Swartz is she wrote about her own sexual adventures while she was young woman and into her later years (50 years and beyond). Pepper is now 62 years young and sexy. (Reaction to her book has been overwhelmingly positive, although one scornful male blogger called her a "skank and a slut" for writing this book.  I asked Pepper about her reaction and she laughed and said, "I really liked it especially since I am 61 years old". I could not help but like her from that moment on.

She took us a journey in this interview to explain her reasons for the book and her great desire to empower women to not give up on relationships and to not lose their sensual, sexy selves. The book she said was a gift for her 10 best girlfriends whom she said were all hanging up their hearts and their passion and had put romance on the shelf.  She said she wanted to show them and other women over 50 years to keep on living in the moment and to find their newness in relationships and in places and keep adventures on the page of "things to do".

I loved what she said about pineapple. For most women, the biggest barrier to seeking a relationship is fear of rejection. Women need to get over this. She doesn’t like pineapple, she said, but that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with it. Most people really like pineapple. One rejection does not mean there’s anything wrong with you, so get out there and keeping passion and sensuality alive.

I asked her about the problem so many women are telling us about: they feel "invisible." She immediately enlightened me, saying (and I’ll add emphasis here) "IF YOU FEEL INVISIBLE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. If you act invisible you are invisible. Women can make themselves visible in their actions, their style and their wonderful personalities."

I have never had such good advice.
