6 Tips on How to Get Pregnant Faster NEW !

Are you attempting pregnancy for the first time? Have you been trying to have a baby for quite a long time without success? In either case, you are looking for a few valuable tricks and tips to get pregnant as fast as possible. How can you create good conditions to increase your chance to get pregnant? Let's answer to this question by means of a quiz.

1) Is there a favorable position to help you get pregnant faster?

Actually, experts agree that there isn't a specific sexual position to help you conceive faster. However, according to the majority of gynecologists, the missionary position (while the woman is lying on her back) would be a helpful position facilitating sperm to head towards the uterus and the fallopian tubes. Others say the doggy style is better.

2) Is having an orgasm necessary to conceive a baby?

Conception (part of the reproduction process) and orgasm (part of the sexual satisfaction) are two different matters. It is not necessary to have an organism in order to conceive a baby but a female climax would be able to help in a way. How? A female organism occurs with uterine contractions and would be able to propel or push the sperm further into the fallopian tubes.

3) Is it true that dying to get pregnant is an obstacle to conceive? 

Explaining your concern about not getting pregnant fast to your friends, you may have heard this retort: "You think too much about that! You'd better forget it and it will come by itself!" It's quite easy to say, isn't it? The fact remains that there is some truth in what your friends say! Don't stress over the idea of becoming pregnant. Stress is going to affect your menstrual cycle and it will be more difficult to determine when you are most fertile. Additionally, stress would be able to prevent the ovulation. Relax as much as possible!

4) Does it help to eat chocolate or spinach?

Not really! What you must do is to avoid fast food and have a balanced diet of whole foods rich in vegetables, fruits, and grains. Eat also food rich in folic acid!

5) I'm smoking, is it an obstacle to get pregnant?

Smoking is not really an obstacle to get pregnant. It happens to many women. But it has been shown that smoking can affect fertility in both men and women. It's far better to cut down on smoking.

6) How can I determine when I am most fertile? 

You can count the days, check your cervical mucus or even register your basal body temperature.

How to Create an Atmosphere of Success

Negative thinking can colour all the aspects of your life so that everything looks dismal. When you change the way that you think, and what you think about, you can begin to see the world through different eyes, and create an atmosphere of success.

Begin the day by being grateful

Attitudes of gratitude and thankfulness help you to focus on what you have; look around you - do you have dirty dishes? That means that you have eaten, and haven't gone hungry. Are you able to walk around? That means that you are healthy and not restricted in your mobility. Do you have friends and family you can talk to? That means that you are not lonely and isolated. Meditate and think on the many things you have to be thankful for.

Practice random acts of kindness

It is often expressed by many philosophers that you reap what you sow. When you sow happiness for others, by expressing encouragement and kindness towards others, you generate positive feelings in others towards yourself. It also gives you a mental boost, knowing that you have made another person joyful today. Many movements such as random acts of kindness, or the pay it forward movement, or suspended coffee movements thrive on being kind. It is generally part of a person's nature to want to be kind to others, foster that natural instinct in yourself, in order to improve the quality of your own life.

Spend time enjoying yourself

If you are always working, and not giving yourself a break, you set yourself up for prolonged stress and for burnout. It is important to rest and to relax, to enjoy yourself, and make time for activities and hobbies you enjoy. The brain and body both need to have time out, so when you sleep, rest, and spend time in creative pursuits, you work with your natural bodily rhythms which complement a life of work and balance in other areas of your life.

Many people follow spiritual pursuits in order to maintain mental wellness

Studies have shown that people who engage in spiritual pursuits, such as prayer, reading the Bible, and belonging to a church congregation have better health outcomes than people who do not follow spiritual practices. The benefits of belonging to a community of people are natural, in that they provide for social reinforcement, mutual encouragement, and extended systems of support amongst peers.

Practicing deliberate positive thinking improves mental health

When you deliberately think positive thoughts, and affirming thoughts about yourself, you are rewiring the brain into being in a thriving state, where you are less prone to be susceptible to the negative effects of stress. People who regularly affirm themselves and are not haughty about their achievements, but are generous towards themselves in self-compassion have been shown to be more resilient in life through a number of psychological studies.

A lot of people have experienced episodes of depression, anxiety disorders and mental health
problems, due to a number of reasons, including trauma, chronic stress and worries about day to day issues. They may also have been subject to burnout from overwork, or the burdens of being a carer. Through the practice of surrounding yourself with positive people, people who are compassionate, and like minded people who choose to see things as always being hopeful, you can change your life, and look forward to better outcomes for your life. Positive thinking and the reinforcement of happy, likeminded and encouraging peers will set your course for success.

Tips for Protecting Yourself Financially

If someone called you and said they were from your credit card company or bank, and they had a problem to discuss, would you give them confidential, personal information over the phone?
Don't be too quick to think it couldn't happen to you. One type of scam involves imposters posing as bank reps who call targeted victims about "problems" with their credit cards. They read off a list of phony charges made on the person's credit card to gain the card member's attention and card information. The person naturally gets upset and isn't thinking clearly so they give the caller their credit card numbers to help resolve the problem.

If the caller sounds especially friendly, convincing and kind, that may be the all it takes to separate that person from his or her hard-earned savings. Even the savviest person isn't immune to these scams because fraudulent cat and mouse games are always changing. Many scams purposely target seniors who have been known to be sympathetic to scammers.

This is one of the more common financial frauds aimed at grandparents. After listening to a sad tale on the phone about their "grandchild," the grandparent withdraws a large amount of cash from their bank and wires it to the bogus "granddaughter" or "grandson" who is "stranded" abroad in need of money. The grandchild has supposedly lost their wallet or passport abroad or they have been robbed of everything including their plane ticket. This is also a common email scam.

Unfortunately, even though some frauds have been around for years, there is always someone who is vulnerable to talking to a nice-sounding caller from a well-known company like a bank, credit card company, insurance agency or government organization who isn't who he says he is. But that caller has only one goal in mind: to gain access to your social security number and/or financial information.

How and Why Seniors are Targeted

Crooks use a variety of financial theft strategies. Here are some ways they get seniors and others to trust them.

• They purchase databases like direct mail focused on older adults or they buy lists of higher priced retirement communities or wealthy neighborhoods. They visit senior centers or health care centers where wealthy donors may be recognized on a wall or plaque to gain names of people who might be good targets.
• After a natural disaster, people are targeted to give money to a "fake" charity. Some scammers gain access to records of who has contributed to charities in the past. After the historic floods in Colorado in September, some telemarketers called people asking for credit card numbers to charge a donation. These callers were not usually legitimate.
• Unfortunately, seniors are often targets of scams because they may easily get confused and they want to trust the person they are talking to.
• People who live alone and are lonely may often be targets of fraudulent callers because they are known to respond to "nice-sounding" people.
• Many scams are Medicare or health-based. Because seniors have more medical issues it may seem natural to them to get calls about their health and the caller requests personal information.
• They want to make sure their bills get paid so when in doubt they give out confidential information when they shouldn't.

Tips for Protecting Yourself

• First off, never give personal banking anyone on the phone. Most banks only ask for personal information when absolutely necessary such as when you are opening or changing an account. The do not ask for personal information over the phone or by email because they recognize that both forms of communication are not completely not secure.
• Remember, financial institutions will not ask for non-public information by phone, e-mail or through a Web site. When in doubt, call your bank and ask if they've contacted you. Chances are they haven't.
• If an offer sounds good don't quickly react. Tell the caller to send it to you in writing.
• Don't reply to phone or email messages that don't seem quite right to you. If everyone did that, you would put the crooks out of business. From their perspective, it just wouldn't pay to keep doing what they're doing.
• If you want to make a donation to a charity, don't make the donation with a credit card or give out financial information over the phone.
• Stay up-to-date on your financial matters. Monitor your credit card and bank statements on a regular basis.

Keeping Elderly Parents & Friends Financially Safe

• Make regular in-person visits. Spend time with senior family members and friends. Make sure they are not lonely. You can do this by phone if you live out of the area, but in-person, open communication, is even better.
• Sit down with elderly parents and talk about how financial scams can occur. Let them know you are available to discuss any great "opportunity" they may have heard about.
• Put notes by the phones that say "Never Give Personal Banking Information to ANYONE."
• If a senior doesn't have close friends or family members close by they trust, suggest that they get an attorney to act as power of attorney as needed.
• Set up an annual or monthly budget for donations the person has an interest in. The senior has final say over their money but through a series of limited donations they can enjoy giving back to their community but just not over the phone to potential scammers.

Even though you are aware of how important it is to stay ahead of financial scams, fraudulent activity is gaining momentum. If no one was responding to requests for personal financial information, the scams would stop. Stay sharp, stay aware. Don't be tempted to give scammers valuable information and the opportunity to take what they want.

Massage Therapy: A Guide to Its Health Benefits

Body massage is a popular way to relax and get relief from pain and stress. But studies have shown that it is much more than that. In fact, a growing number of people are waking up to its therapeutic uses. Massage therapy at the hand of trained professionals can improve your overall wellbeing by providing relief from stress and migraine, improving your body posture, improving your blood circulation, decreasing your blood pressure and strengthening your immune system.

1. Provides relief from stress: 

Constant stress is bad for your physical and emotional wellbeing. It affects our body, mood and behavior. You can become anxious, irritated, restless, angry, sad and depressed. Physically, you may suffer from headache, chest pain, stomach ache, fatigue, inability to sleep, loss of appetite and loss of sexual desire. Massage therapy can relax your muscles, lower your heart rate and increases the production of endorphin, which is your body's natural feel good chemical. It also helps release serotonin and dopamine, chemicals that make it easier to overcome stress.

2. Helps improve posture: 

Today's work environment contributes to bad posture, which is bad not only for appearance but for your health as well. It forces some of your muscles to work harder than others, resulting in undue pressure on your internal organs, digestive system, blood circulation and breathing. Massage therapy loosens the muscles made stiff by bad posture, allows the joints to move more freely and relieves pain from pressure points. As a result, your body regains its pain-free natural posture.

3. Helps improve blood circulation and lower blood pressure:

Poor blood circulation can result in fatigue, ache, discomfort and lack of energy. Massage therapy facilitates blood circulation by putting pressure on blood to move through congested areas. It also helps improve the circulation of lymph fluids that carry away metabolic wastes from muscles and internal organs by flushing out the lactic acid accumulated in the muscles, which results in better blood circulation and improved body functions. Massage therapy can also decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

4. Provides relief from migraine:

Migraine is a neurological disorder that is characterized by chronic headache, which can be debilitating. It is often caused by high stress and lack of sleep. Massage therapy helps cure migraine by relaxing your nerves and by freeing your body from stress and pain, especially in the neck, shoulders and head area.

5. Helps strengthen the immune system:

Studies have shown that massage therapy increases the body's immune system by increasing the production of the natural killer cells (which fight disease-causing germs) and decreasing the number of T-cells that lower the capacity to fight diseases. By doing so, it enhances the body's ability to get nourishment, which improves overall health.

In addition to the above, regular massage therapy can make you healthier, stronger and happier by improving your breathing and flexibility of motion, relaxing your muscles and calming you mind. It has also been found to expedite post-operative recovery and healing of other injuries by helping deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues and vital organs.

 

 

Taking Medicines and Supplements to Help You

Health and fitness are important for people at any age, but they become of increased concern when a person grows older and finds that his body may be deteriorating. Anti-aging products have become very plentiful.

Years ago when my mother was living as an older woman, she visited her brother and his wife in another state. She was surprised at how many pills they took on a daily basis. They had both been pharmacists who believed in the medicines they ingested each day. They believed that they were being helped by the various products. Indeed, they enjoyed good health and fitness throughout their long lives.

The world is full of medicines. You cannot turn on the television without seeing commercials for all manner of prescription medicines which are available for all kinds of physical and mental problems. Doctors seem happy to prescribe pills for every imaginable ailment which should also make the drug companies and pharmacists happy with the business. However, some people are leery of using a lot of prescription drugs because of all the possible side effects which sound much worse than the illness which may be present. People are advised to inform their doctor of all medicines and supplements which they are taking.

Nutritional supplements and vitamin products which are said to contain so called natural ingredients are equally plentiful. They line the shelves of grocery and drug stores. They are available in large quantities at various discount and wholesale membership outlets. It is a huge business said to be in the trillions of dollars a year.

Some people who are looking for better health and fitness through using nutritional supplements are finding that they are able to use products which seem to help them while at the same time pursuing a home based business opportunity in network marketing. This industry has dozens of now quite well known companies selling all manner of supplements intended to help a person feel and look better.

While they are forbidden from making health claims about their products, the people who use them are able to share their success stories with others who may be interested. In this manner, they are able to get others to buy the products as well so they may start to earn some money as they consume products in which they have faith. They do have to share information about the products and the business opportunity to ever make any money in the business.

Better health and fitness can be achieved by most people no matter what age they are. It seems to be a well known fact that people are living longer and will begin to have even greater longevity in their lives. Trying to feel better as you age is a worthy goal for anyone.

Top 10 Functional Fitness Anti Aging Exercises

Prevention is always the best cure, and by adopting 10 simple anti-aging exercises into a functional fitness routine to increase your strength, flexibility and heart health, you can retain your youthful vigor and appearance while avoiding many of the common conditions that accompany aging, such as osteoporosis.

These exercises target areas of the body that frequently suffer painful and debilitating degeneration if not properly stimulated -- especially knees, hips and shoulders. A recent study conducted at the Lausanne University in Switzerland entitled "The Exercise -- Anti-Aging Connection" firmly concludes that "Regular physical exercise is a cornerstone in the anti-aging game."

1. Toe Touches - Lift your arms above your head and slowly bring them down in a graceful arc until you touch your toes. Hold for 10 seconds. This helps you to increase and maintain your range of motion so you continue to bend down without pain. Repeat this exercise to increase the range of motion in your spine and legs.

2. Balance Exercises - Lift your arms above your head again, but this time rise up on your tip toes and stretch up as far as possible. Hold for 5 seconds. Gradually lower your arms to shoulder level while finding your center of balance. Then slowly lower your arms as you sink down on your heels. Repeat until you feel centered. This will help you maintain your inner balance and avoid accidental falls.

3. Shoulder Stretches - Stand up straight and extend your arms behind your back. Clasp your hands behind your back. By 'unlocking' the muscles in your shoulders, you have more flexibility to reach high shelves and remove objects without causing strain.

4. Hip Circumduction - Put your hands behind your back and stand on one foot while you raise the other a few inches and point it forward. Slowly rotate your foot in a circular motion. Stand on both feet again, then repeat the motion with the other foot. This strengthens the muscles that surround your hips to help protect against hip fractures.

5. Squats - With your hands extended straight out, do some simple squats to strengthen your torso muscles and improve your balance so you can easily get in and out of cars.

6. Resistance - Place your hands against a wall and lean your body at an angle while on your tip toes. Feel your calf muscles and your upper body strengthen. This resistance helps to strengthens bones against osteoporosis.

7. Shoulder Stretch - Rotate your shoulders in a circular motion to increase lubricant in your joints and decrease joint pain.

8. Tricep Extensions - Sit up straight in a chair, place your hands on the arm rests lift yourself up 15x to increase your upper body strength.

9. Plyometric exercises - Stand on one leg with arms slightly behind your body. Propel your body up as high as possible, reaching up your arms and springing from your legs. Perform 3 times in rapid succession, then lower your foot and repeat on the other side. This "Michael Jordan" move creates the kind of explosive energy boost that maintains the muscle power that we lose as we age and is good for carrying suitcases.

10. Core muscles - Now that all the outer muscles are warmed up and flexible, it is important to set the 'core muscles' that support your body's framework. Stand up very straight with your feel planted firmly on the ground. Contract your abdomen by imagining you are drawing your belly button down to the base of your spine. Once you have the bottom muscles set, imagine there is a cord coming from the center of your chest pulling your breastbone up. Naturally allow your shoulders to fall back as you look up. Breathe normally while you hold this position and tighten all of your outer muscles around your core muscles. Maintain full body tension as long as possible, then relax them all at once. Repeat numerous times, noticing how your body tightens a little more with each repetition.

Once you have completed your routine, rest for a moment and allow your heart rate to return to normal. Also drink a glass of water to help remove any toxins that your body naturally releases when exercising to further enhance the anti-aging effects of your functional fitness.

What Is The Best Brain Food For You?

The old saying 'you are what you eat' is definitely true when it comes to our brains. Our brains are dramatically impacted by our diet. If we eat foods that are rich in fat and cholesterol, our brains tend to suffer from the consequences of hypertension, and the stress on the body inflicted by a high-fat diet. Conversely, if you want to keep your brain in optimal shape, you need to eat a diet that supplies the right combination of nutrients and vitamins, which will keep your brain's processes humming along quite nicely. Here are profiles of some of the best foods available for boosting mental processes and overall brain health.

Walnuts

It's a very interesting and fitting coincidence that shelled walnuts look like miniature brains. Their appearance is interesting because walnuts contain high levels of omega 3 which help boost brain function. It is quite interesting to see a nut that looks very similar to a brain be so beneficial for human brains. Omega-3 fatty acids acids help boost overall brain functions while other compounds in walnut help relieve oxidative stress on the brain which helps fend off Alzheimer's. Additionally, Walnuts contain high levels of Vitamin E, which helps arrest cognitive decline which usually comes with age.

Blueberries

Studies indicate that blueberries help reduce oxidative stress on brain tissue. This has been linked to a reduction in the effects of Alzheimer's and other age-related conditions. Additionally, studies have shown blueberries improved the motor skills and learning capacity of older lab rats. Blueberries can help older individuals preserve their mental hardware in old age.

Avocados

Avocados have high levels of monounsaturated fat. This type of fat is healthy and helps boost overall blood flow. Increased blood flow to the brain is a necessary condition of increased brain function and effectiveness. In fact, by boosting blood flow, avocados reduce hypertension. Hypertension has been linked to a reduction of the brain's overall cognitive abilities.

Nuts and seeds

Flaxseed has a decent level of omega 3s. As mentioned earlier, omega 3 helps boost overall brain function and can help with enhanced cognitive abilities. Sunflower seeds are also great brain-boosting seeds. In addition to flaxseed, individuals who are looking to strengthen their brain's overall health should also try a wide range of nuts. Since nuts pack lots of Vitamin E, they make for great brain-boosting snacks. Some nuts that are great for your brain include peanuts, filberts, cashews, brazil nuts, and almonds also have high levels of Vitamin E.

Beans

Beans help stabilize the blood's glucose levels. Since the brain needs glucose for energy, beans help deliver optimal amounts of energy to the brain without dramatic spikes in glucose. Beans help deliver a stead stream of energy the brain needs for optimal performance. Beans are also great for cardiovascular health since they help with nitric oxide levels. High nitric oxide levels help increase blood flow. The brain benefits when overall blood flow improves.

Pomegranate juice

You have probably heard of antioxidants' health boosting benefits. Antioxidants help suppress the amount of cancer-causing free radicals in organs. Pomegranate juice has a high level of antioxidants. Drink lots of pomegranate juice to help cut down on the number of antioxidants which might harm your brain. If you don't like pomegranate juice, you can also try a wide variety of citrus juices. These juices also have decent levels of antioxidants.

Dark Chocolate

Cocoa has a high level of antioxidants which can cut down on cancer-causing free radicals that can harm your brain. Additionally, this yummy substance also contains caffeine which helps increase energy level and mental focus.

Recovering From Sex Addiction

Sex addiction recovery is a long and painful process. However, each step along the way is necessary for true growth and a successful lifelong recovery. The first step in any sex addict's recovery is understanding that he or she has an addiction. Until the addict accepts that he or she has an addiction, recovery cannot happen.

After a sex addict identifies his or her addiction, he or she must make a commitment to seek help. Once the decision has been made to get help, there are many avenues that addicts can take to seek recovery. These options include addiction treatment programs, cognitive behavior therapy, interpersonal therapy, group therapy and 12 step programs.

Sex Addiction Treatment Programs

Many addicts find that sex addiction treatment programs are ideal for their recovery efforts. For one, they provide in-patient treatment with a comprehensive approach to recovery. At the start of recovery, it is easier to make a clean break from compulsive behaviors if the addict is not living at home where it is easy to fall back into addictive behaviors. Most programs also allow for out-patient treatment as addicts become better equipped to handle the realities of everyday life at home.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Treatment for this addiction often includes cognitive behavior therapy. This type of therapy helps addicts discover the underlying causes of their addiction. A majority of sex addicts report having experienced some form of abuse or neglect as a child. Others grew up in households where one or more parents were addicts. Some report early exposure to sexual activity or pornographic materials as a gateway to later compulsive behaviors. No matter what the underlying causes of the addiction is, cognitive behavior therapy helps people identify them and then learn how to deal with them post-addiction. Therapists usually encourage recovering addicts to find an activity such as exercising to take the place of sexually addictive behaviors when the compulsion arises.

Interpersonal Therapy

Interpersonal therapy is what most people think of when they hear the word therapy. Essentially, it is talk therapy. Talking is very therapeutic, especially for addicts who are isolated and depressed. Much of the burden that addicts have been carrying around can be relieved by simply expressing their emotions to a trained therapist. Therapists also prescribe medication to help facilitate the recovery process throughout interpersonal therapy treatment.

Group Therapy and 12 Step Programs

The guilt and shame that sex addicts experience are often best treated in group therapy. Being able to hear the experiences of other addicts and share their own experiences help them understand that they are not alone. Group therapy provides a supportive and safe environment where individuals can recover from their embarrassment, shame, and guilt. 12 step programs are a common form of group therapy. They provide addicts with a structured approach to recovery in a supportive environment. These programs are modeled after the Alcoholics Anonymous program and are widespread throughout the country.

It is important to keep in mind that not every treatment option is going to be right for every individual sex addict. Everyone is different and comes to their addiction from a different set of experiences and circumstances. If you try one treatment option and are not comfortable with it after a reasonable amount of time, then there is no shame in looking elsewhere for a good fit.

How to Prevent Schizophrenia And Neurosis

Your mental health is based on your capacity to think, feel, and sense your reality, so that you may be able to solve your problems and find happiness. However, you are not as intelligent as you may believe and you are insensitive. You may believe that you are a normal person and you have nothing to fear, but if you belong to the human race your mental stability is in danger. You are absurd from birth.

You can become schizophrenic at any time, depending on the events and situations you may face in your daily life.

I know you don't want to think about this possibility. I'm sure you will tell me that a million things can happen to you at any time, but you cannot protect yourself from all dangers.
In this article I will show you how you can protect yourself from all dangers and prevent all mental illnesses through dream translation. The guidance you have in dreams protects you from all dangers because it comes from God.
You will stop believing in illusions and learn many hidden truths.

The route an individual follows when he or she becomes schizophrenic is always the same. The bitter truth is that we already inherit schizophrenia into the biggest part of our brain, since our anti-conscience occupies the biggest part of our brain and psyche. The anti-conscience is our primitive conscience, which didn't evolve with time. It is a schizophrenic conscience because it always ends up on terror and despair.

This primitive conscience is disorganized, but it follows a well-organized process in order to destroy our human conscience through craziness, the same way that all wild animals follow an inherited behavioral program in order to kill their prey. All animals already know which movements they must make in order to imprison and kill another animal before learning this practice. This knowledge is indispensable for their survival, since they are wild animals. All wild animals have the wild nature of the anti-conscience. The anti-conscience is a shark that can think.

The anti-conscience is a wild animal that can think and imprison our conscience into the labyrinth of craziness by following several steps, but it is an idiotic and self-destructive conscience. Our anti-conscience is schizophrenic because it didn't learn how to organize its actions and control its behavior. It is unable to solve its existential problems and find peace. We inherit this absurd conscience because without it we are unable to think.

An individual becomes schizophrenic because he is gradually controlled by his primitive conscience (anti-conscience) as he accepts the absurd suggestions of his anti-conscience, especially after facing traumatic experiences. He makes numerous mistakes, and he ends up on despair. This is how he loses his mind and his anti-conscience manages to control his behavior.

An individual is mentally healthy when he/she doesn't accept the absurd suggestions of his anti-conscience and he manages to eliminate his anti-conscience through consciousness and wisdom.
In order to be a mentally healthy person, you must learn how to accurately translate the meaning of your dreams based on the scientific method of dream interpretation, or submit your dreams for professional dream translation. The unconscious mind discovered by Carl Jung is God's mind.
God shows you how you can eliminate your wild nature and cure your anti-conscience by organizing your thoughts and your behavior.

Life is a complex and dangerous adventure. You must learn how to solve all problems and always behave like a conscious human being. Otherwise, your wild tendencies will ruin your life, and destroy your human conscience.

This means that you have to be able to tame the violent and immoral tendencies you have inherited. If you want to keep your mental stability and evolve, you must learn how be calm, sincere, and friendly. You also have to discern what is good or bad, and condemn hypocrisy, poverty, and terror. You have to be sensitive and understand how others feel, think, and sense their reality.

If you are indifferent to your behavior, your anti-conscience will find ways to control your behavior. Your ego must control your behavior, and not your wild side. However, your ego is selfish and idiotic. Your ego has many absurd desires. Your ego must obey the divine guidance instead of doing what your ignorant and one-sided human conscience desires.

Your one-sided and under-developed conscience is easily manipulated by our absurd and evil anti-conscience because you prefer what is bad. You believe that it is more advantageous for you. This is why you easily fall into your anti-conscience's traps. Then, you become mentally ill, and instead of becoming the brilliant human being you could be, you feel that your life has no meaning.
In order to escape schizophrenia and all the other mental illnesses generated by the anti-conscience you have to be serious and learn how to control your behavior. You will become a mentally healthy person when you will have the behavior of an angel.

You may believe that I'm exaggerating, but the truth is that the people you consider mentally healthy are in fact mentally ill, but their mental illness was not discovered by the scientists of our historical time. For example, today's psychiatrists don't consider indifference or anger as indications of behavioral abnormalities, while they are clear indications of insensitivity and cruelty.
A conscious human being must always be calm and sensitive. A mentally healthy person is not contaminated by the poison of indifference and anger.

Indifference is as cruel as violence. Anger is an explosion of hatred.
By translating the meaning of your dreams you will understand how many of your reactions are abnormal because they are not positive for you and for your community, even though you believe that they are 'normal' reactions. The global abnormalities must not be considered to be normal. Everyone shows abnormal behavior on Earth because everyone inherits an absurd wild conscience that must be tamed.

You have to escape the tragic destiny of your ancestors, and learn how to become a better person until you will attain perfection. Instead of believing that 'nobody is perfect' and living like a rational animal influenced or controlled by your wild side, you should desire to attain spiritual perfection and become a superior person.

You can attain higher levels of knowledge instead of caring about the false information of the hypocritical world. You can become a genius and find bright solutions for problems that no one could solve. You can change the world thanks to your work and your example.
Now that you know the tragic truth about the satanic origin of the human conscience, and now that you know that you have God's guidance in your own dreams, you must pay attention to the unconscious lessons in the dream images. I simplified the dream language for you, and God is an excellent doctor.

The Top 4 Ways To Get A Woman To Orgasm

There are 4 proven ways to bring a woman to orgasm. It is very important and should go without saying that women need foreplay and the building of anticipation to get their "juices flowing".
The biggest disservice that the porn industry has done to couples is present male fantasy as reality.
The truth is women need long bouts of foreplay of at least 15-20 minutes and the building of anticipation to get them ready for mind blowing orgasms.

With that out of the way let's focus on the 4 methods.

1) Stimulating the clitoris.

For most women it is impossible to orgasm without this stimulation so we should focus a big part of our attention here. Slow even pressure with either the tongue or fingers will get the best results here.

2) Using your tongue.

Cunnilingus is the best method to get a woman ready to orgasm. Using the tongue on the clitoris as well as the next 2 areas with discuss will get results.

3) Stimulating the G spot.

It amazes me how few women have had proper G spot stimulation. This is obviously a must for intense achieving orgasms.

4) Stimulating the A spot.
The A spot is actually more of an area than a spot. This is one of the least understood areas and yet when properly stimulated it is actually one of the most sensitive that gets the best results. When stimulated in conjunction with the other areas women can reach the most intense orgasms that they have never even imagined.

When worked properly it is very common to hear a woman scream like she never has before and follow that with, "wow, that was intense".

This is why it is crucial to learn to combine multiple techniques that stimulate all these areas in combination. The effect on your sex life will be huge.

In fact this is one of the best ways to get your woman hooked on having sex with you.
The best way to get the most out of these areas is never to tell a woman in advance what you will be doing as it will kill any anticipation that you are trying to build. Remember anticipation is key to making the magic happen.

So what do I suggest? Start small involving one area at a time until you build experience and your own understanding and confidence. Fromthere you should work to begin combining 2 and then 3 areas.

The results will be worth it.

The Shift in Relationships: How to Be a STRONG Woman in Love

Relationships are shifting. We don't have relationships the same way our parents did and we certainly don't have relationships as our grandparents did.

Men and women will always be different, but evolution has forced us over the centuries to change the way men and women relate, couple, and choose to be monogamous or not. Divorce has allowed women to get out of oppressive relationships and choose a different way to support themselves.

As relationships are changing, then the ideal relationship also changes. A while back you got married to unite families and properties, that was the ideal. Now we have an ideal of "romantic" love through marriage because of hollywood and also because we are moving into love from spiritual places, not just about survival and pooling our resources. If you think about relationships in the caveman era... it was ALL about pooling resources. And women back then were the main providers because they did all the gathering of the everyday foods, nuts, seeds, berries, vegetables etc. The men only got the hunt every other occasion. The women were the source of 80% of the food. With evolution women took the background as men started to be dominant in providing resources through technology and through controlling women in marriage so the men could track who was the mother of their babies... and just because the whole world become about control. The stranglehold of control is what is starting to shift on our planet. Big time.

Take a look at our economy folks, we are swinging back to women becoming the providers. Helen Fisher, an anthropologist expert on love has pointed out how women today are coming back to the center of driving the economy. Women are becoming stronger because they are more central in gathering resources, in making choices about our daily lives and taking leadership roles in our governments and communities.

Love experts have said that a strong woman is intimidating to a man, while others say a woman needs to create the nurturing space for the relationship, to be being the "soil" for the man to plant his seed and grow. I don't think this gets to where we are arriving at with the shift in relationships. I think a deeper evolutionary process is happening where we are questioning the biological roles of men and women and exploring how to actually shift these roles, so that both men and women can be aware of their masculine and feminine bodies and hormones AND have more choice in relationships, more choice in how to love and more choice in creating the ideal love that they are looking. I know when my mother got married, she didn't think of any of those things! She was thinking, what a nice hunk, I hope he picks me!

The freedom women have now in relationships, means we need to take our dreams and ideals about relationships to a NEW place. Being a strong woman has been said to be a challenge to a man, but throughout history strong women have been necessary for survival and for keeping families together. Strong women are the ones who recognize that relationships are not what we think they are, but rather what we CREATE within the family and with their love partner.

The reason we are experiencing relationship "breakdowns" is not just because we do not want to "work" on the relationship, but rather the relationship itself is allowing us to access every wound, hurt, question about love we have been born to experience. You may find yourself with a great guy or a wonderful woman, but the relationship doesn't take off because a part of you is still resolving a hurt in love or deciding what exactly is the love you want to create. You may be staying with a certain person in a relationship not for ANY logical reason, but simply because your soul has made an agreement to be with that person. So our logical mind may question the relationship constantly, but the soul knows you must stay to help you learn your lesson of love and to help the other person get theirs.

Strong women are the ones who recognize that even when our romantic relationships don't work, we are still creating love at every corner. We still hold open a space for love in our lives. And we are working through centuries of expectations where women were expected to suffer through abusive relationships. But not anymore.

Women are choosing independence before suffering, because the new ideal of the shift in relationships is self realization in place of giving up the self for relationships. Women are creating choices now that will shift the planet into a world where the individual in the relationship has a voice to change the relationship for the better.

Strong women in love are the ones who stay open to the shift in relationships, because we no longer have the guarantee that any relationship will last. That does not mean that strong women do not feel the hurt of a relationship breaking down. In fact, it means we become more emotionally stronger to take separation and hurt and loss into our hearts and heal and look at all the unresolved hurts that we have experienced in love, not just this life - but for all the lives you have ever lived. I know my mother did not have the opportunity to resolve her hurt in her relationship. So I also spend time giving thanks to her. In spite of feeling trapped, unable to express herself and feeling not loved, my mother taught me to be free, independent and strong.

Strong women, teach other women and men how to be hurt and still love in spite of the hurt, to give instead of going into "what's in it for me". Imagine what the world will be like when we finally shift out of feeling trapped in our choices of love, life and relationships and start healing those old wounds. This shift in relationships is asking to lift every unturned stone and see what remains unloved and love it until we can be free of any suffering.

Strokes and Emotions Following a Stroke

Emotions and behaviour can change following a stroke. Approximately one third of all stroke survivors experience some emotional problems. These problems can result in depression, anger, frustration, feelings of loss and denial. There may be communication disorders which will include aphasia - to do with verbal abilities and auditory comprehension where they are unable to speak or to read, write or comprehend numbers. Or there may be motor speech disorders with slurred or garbled speech. All of these difficulties will affect the emotions creating sadness and possibly depression.

Extreme emotions will interfere with the rehabilitation process. Emotions are hard to control, partly because of chemical changes within the brain caused by the stroke. It is also a reaction to the challenges of dealing with the effects of a stroke. There can be rapid mood changes also causing crying or laughing inappropriately, feelings of hopelessness, changes in eating and sleeping, anger, anxiety and apathy.

Anxiety causes sleep disturbances. It may also cause difficulty with concentration. The stroke sufferer may avoid going out in public or even seeing friends. Irritability, another problem, can also cause difficulties with concentration and the stroke sufferer may tire more quickly.

Apathy is a dangerous emotion for a stroke survivor. It is lack of enthusiasm, motivation, listlessness and no interest in anything. For the stroke sufferer, if they have apathy they will likely not work diligently at rehabilitation. This is detrimental to their long-term health or for a positive outcome with the chance of fewer disabilities.

It is important for the stroke impaired to find ways to relax, i.e.: soak in a warm bath, listen to calm music, meditate or go for a walk. Writing down worries or talking to a friend or family member may also help. However, if it continues for quite a while and all else has failed, it may be necessary for them to see their family doctor. Medication may also be necessary.

Stroke recovery groups are also good for the stroke survivor because often talking about the effects of their stroke with others who are going through the same thing can help. Acknowledging their feelings will help them to deal with their emotions also. It will be important for the stroke-impaired person to be as informed as possible because the more they know, the more they will be able to help themselves.

Emotions following a stroke are often closer to the surface and will increase in intensity relative to the situation, perhaps summoning feelings that had not bothered them prior to their stroke. As upsetting as it is for the stroke survivor to experience these chaotic emotions, in almost all cases, these intense feelings will go and eventually they will feel more like themselves..

Problems with emotions following a stroke can result in personality changes. But as the stroke-impaired person begins to feel more like themselves, these changes often will cease to exist.

Sylvia Behnish has published 'Rollercoaster Ride With Brain Injury (For Loved Ones)', a non-fiction book detailing the difficult year following a brain injury; 'His Sins', a three generation family saga about how the actions of one person can affect future generations, and 'Life's Challenges, A Short Story Collection'.

She has also written numerous articles for newspapers, magazines and online on subjects relating to brain injuries, family issues and motivational topics.

Are We Making People Become Mentally Ill?

Mental illness has become a major problem in today's society. Some conditions formerly thought to be not that serious such as bipolar and depression have been found to cause people to do things in an extremely irrational manner. Mental problems in people have been attributed to cause mass shootings and terror.

Are we making people become mentally ill by our behavior toward them? A very disturbing piece was aired on the sports news about an NFL pro football player who was treated badly by his fellow teammates to the point where he left and went home to try and cope with the extreme distress he was feeling. It was reported that he had suffered several incidences of unkindness from other members of his team, but the last straw seemed to be when a group of them invited him to sit with them at a table where they were seated for lunch. Possibly feeling jubilant that they were finally accepting him, he went to sit with them whereupon the rest of the team immediately got up and left. They may have thought it was a funny practical joke, but their actions caused great harm.

I had not been aware of the situation and do not know the player's name, but it does seem totally unconscionable that such a thing would happen. This was done by grown men who are well educated and successful. They most certainly should have known better, and there is no excuse for their treatment of a fellow teammate who should be looked after and nurtured instead of being bullied and disrespected.

Bullying is not reserved for the young children in grade school, middle school, or high school. It seems to be a problem throughout society. The unbelievably sad stories of young people who commit suicide because of bullying are too numerous for what should be a civilized society. When children in high school and younger as well as young adults in college or in the military resort to ending their lives because of bullying and harassment from their peers, it is time to take action and do something.

People can and should be kinder to their fellowmen. There is no reason to make someone's life miserable. Life is hard enough without people unwittingly causing more problems knowingly and with malice toward someone. There should be no reason for people on the same team to be mean and hateful to one of their own. They have enough opponents. They should be considerate and kind to those who are closely associated with them on the same team and for the same purposes.

When someone does feel bullied or suffers from stress and depression, there are people and means to find help. There are people trained to help people cope with the trials of life. Doctors and counselors could be consulted. There are products which are said to help with stress and depression. Finding solutions are important for the health and well being of everyone who faces depression which could lead to mental issues. People should be helping people instead of hurting each other. We should do our part to assist those around us rather than causing problems for them.

Causes and Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile Dysfunction

It refers to the inability of a male to sustain erection consistently and repeatedly. It is a common problem and is reported that it affects around 18-30 million men. It exerts considerable effects on the quality of life. Most of the time people are reluctant to talk about it to others even to doctors. This is why it is important to address this problem openly.

What are the mechanics of erectile dysfunction?

The penis contains two cylinder-shaped chambers called corpora cavernosa which runs along the length of the penis. They contain arteries which bring the blood to the penis and veins which take the blood away from the penis. When there is sexual stimulation either physically or mentally our brain sends a message to the nerves in the penis to cause the relaxation of the penile arteries. This increases the blood flow to the penis making it stiff and hard, thus achieving erection.There is simultaneous contraction of specialized muscles located in the penis which compresses the veins and reduces the outflow of blood from the penis thereby helping to sustain erection.
This is clear now that anything that interferes with the either nerve impulses anywhere from the brain down to the penis or anything that limits the blood flow to the penis can result in erectile dysfunction.

Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

Most of the people consider it as a psychological problem. However it is not the case. Although psychological factors are involved in the causation of ED but mostly we do have any underlying physical cause of ED.

Physical Conditions Leading To ED

1. Vascular diseases

We understand that it is the increased blood flow to the penis that helps us achieve erection. Thus any vascular diseases which impair the blood flow to the penis will make it difficult to get erection. They include atherosclerosis, high blood pressure and increased levels of cholesterols.

2. Diabetes

Males suffering from diabetes mellitus usually experience erectile dysfunction at some point of life particularly when they don't have an optimum sugar control. The erectile dysfunction associated with diabetes is attributed to damage to blood vessels as well as nerves.

3. Neurologic Disorder

For adequate erection we require proper functioning of our nerves as well as brain. This is why any disorder that interferes with the functions of brain or nerves can cause erectile dysfunction. They include conditions such as Stroke Multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease.

4. Lifestyle

There are some lifestyle choices which can increase the risk of erectile dysfunction. They include smoking, drinking and drug abuse. The do so by interfering with the blood supply of the penis.

5. Trauma

Trauma to the blood vessels and nerve supplying the penis can also cause erectile dysfunction. The importance of trauma as a cause of erectile dysfunction has been implicated in people who have been riding bicycle for longer period of times. This is because bicycle seat can put constant pressure on the vessels and nerves supplying the penis thereby damaging them and resulting in erectile dysfunction.

6. Medications

There are certain drugs that can cause erectile dysfunction. They include medications used to lower blood pressure and also some antidepressant. The irony is depression and high blood pressure are some of the causes of erectile dysfunction and the drugs you are using to treat these conditions also cause erectile dysfunction. This is why it is important for you to talk to you doctor if you are on any medications and you start having problems with the erection.

7. Surgery

Mostly older people above the age of 50 have problems with erection. This is the age when people also present with enlargement of the prostate and even with prostate cancer. They require surgeries for these conditions and during surgery the nerves supplying the penis might be damaged resulting in erectile dysfunction.

Psychiatric Conditions Leading To ED

The brain is involved in achieving erection as well as pleasure and excitement associated with sex so any problem that interferes with functioning of brain can cause ED. Psychiatric conditions are responsible for only about 10-15%of the cases of ED. They include
• Stress
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Low-self esteem

How to Treat Erectile Dysfunction?

1. Lifestyle changes

There are certain life style changes which can help in the improvement of sexual function. They include cessation of smoking, exercise and weight loss.

2. Medications

There is this famous drug called sildenafil which is well known as Viagra. It is not the only drug, rather there is a whole class of drugs called phosphodiestrase inhibitors. The other important medications included in this group are Vardenafil ( Levita, Stxyn), Tadalafil (Cialis) and Avanafil (Stendra)

3. Vacuum Pumps

They are specialized devices containing a cylinder and a pump. The penis is placed in the cylinder and pump is used to draw the air out of the pump creating a cylinder. This increases the blood flow to the penis. In order to maintain the erection an elastic band is worn around the base of penis.

4. Surgery

If the erectile dysfunction is due to blockage of the artery supplying the penis especially in younger patients we can surgically restore that blood flow. The other things we can do surgically is place an implant in there. This implant is filled with the pressurized fluid whenever erection is required.

5. Psychotherapy

Erectile dysfunction is a complex problem to deal with. Therefore it is important for you to realize that you have to involve your partner and talk to a doctor if you want to get out of this troublesome situation. The other important issue to keep in mind is to avoid any self-medication at all as it might have lethal outcome.

Learning to Adjust to Life Following a Stroke

Statistics indicate that strokes are often life-altering. Sadly, fifteen percent will die, twenty-five percent will recover with only minor impairment and ten percent will almost completely recover. But the rest, fifty percent, will require some type of care.

There are huge challenges in adjusting to the effects of a stroke. There will likely be fear, apprehension, uncertainty and usually life changes. It will be important for the stroke sufferer to gain some control over his/her life and to work towards independence. They will need to work diligently to improve their emotional and physical well-being by thinking positively. It will be important for them to remain positive as expectations, by necessity, will be altered.

Adaptations will have to be made to overcome limitations. Practicing daily will be necessary as continual effort will have a cumulative effect on their abilities. It will be important to set goals, to do things they enjoy, to be social and to try new things. It will be important also to accept the many changes in their life and to adjust to how their stroke affects other people. It will be natural to initially fear the future because strokes affect the body, mind and emotions.

Following a stroke there may be some paralysis, weakness in the limbs, difficulties with balance or language, pain or vague sensations of feeling in their body, cognitive and memory problems, feelings of frustration, feeling a sense of loss, difficulties with bowel or bladder control, fatigue, trouble swallowing or difficulty maintaining their hygiene. There may also be depression. It will be important to seek help if depression is suspected.

In some cases brain cells may be only temporarily damaged. In other cases, different areas of the brain will take over from the damaged areas. Rehabilitation will play a large part in helping the stroke patient. Goal setting will also be important. And as with everything, a proper diet is necessary.

It will be important for either the stroke-impaired person or his/her caregiver to ask questions regarding their care, to allow him/her to express their wishes and opinions and to be made a partner in their own health care. It will be important to keep them informed and to encourage them to join a stroke support group.

Special equipment may also be required following a stroke, i.e.: a cane, walker, wheelchair, orthotic devices or communication aids. There are also services available such as meals on wheels and transportation services.

Adjusting to the effects of a stroke will be different for each stroke survivor because like every brain injury, each stroke is different also. A lot will depend on the attitude of the survivor and how hard he/she is willing to work at rehabilitation. It will also depend on the severity of the stroke and where it was. Whether there is a family member and/or caregiver available to assist with follow-up care and rehabilitation will make a difference too in both physical recovery and a positive attitude.

A Friend Who Helped Me Stop The Cycle Of Fear And Anxiety

It's amazing what my vitamin cabinet looked like after a while, I was a pill addict and there was no stopping me either. What had I become due to this anxiety disorder I thought to myself? How much money had I wasted on all of this stuff, as well as online miracle techniques that just just kept me coping with my panic and anxiety? It was sad to see, but in my mind back then I knew the instant cure was out there and knew my odds of potentially overcoming my panic and anxiety would increase if I tried everything on the market (not true as I found out the hard way). I learned that any kind of pill, whether they are herbs or prescribed medicine for anxiety, should never be thought of as a replacement for changing the daily habits that are creating negative experiences in our mental and physical well-being. In fact, the best thing anyone did for me during my search for a cure to my panic attacks and anxiety was what my best friend Mike did one day when I invited him over for a movie night.

Mike and I had known each other for just over ten years, and he has been there for me whenever I needed him. He was one of a handful of people I could possibly open up to that would understand what I was going through but I didn't. I kept my issues with panic and anxiety away from my closest friends and family due to the fear of them distancing themselves from me, thinking that maybe I was crazy or something. That day that Mike came over, he was confused on why I was drinking tea rather than sharing a beer with him (anxiety and beer just didn't mix for me). He had also noticed a lack of motivation and joy I had over the past few months in life in general, which of course was dragging him down as well. As he left the living room to grab another beer, he noticed my cabinet full of vitamins, herbs, prescriptions, and more.

 He started asking questions about them, and I started to explain to him that I was suffering from an anxiety disorder and how it was ruining my life in general. At that point, Mike grabbed a large garbage bag and dumped everything in the cabinet into it "what are you doing" I yelled at him, I couldn't believe what he was doing, I was speechless. Mike was an upfront guy and someone I always looked up to because of his outgoing personality that people were attracted to. He was someone who made you feel good inside and people wanted to be around him. He said to me that from that day on I was allowed only one herbal supplement and one vitamin supplement. He was a physiotherapist and was actually quite knowledgable about anxiety disorders for some reason and had a decent idea of what was best for me, so he recommended a B complex combined with Kava Kava and that was it. He also showed me a road map of what I needed to change in my lifestyle habits to increase calmness and decrease stress.

I was grateful to Mike for keeping it simple, and was glad I had someone who I could turn to if I needed and it felt great. We all think that overcoming panic and anxiety naturally is scary, an unknown world that could cost us much time, effort, potentially money and pain. But the natural path ahead to create change is not as bad as you might think. If you suffer from an anxiety disorder it's time to have an open mind and do your research, it's time to see what naturally has worked for others, and it's also time to see what this anxiety disorder is costing you in the many aspects of your life and take action because this is the fuel that you will need during those days you experience setbacks, and yes setbacks are a part of recovery which then leads me to the key ingredient on your recovery from anxiety... patience.

Prescription Drug Abuse And Over Doses In California

It is a prevalent fact that the prescription drug abuse has grown among all segments of population, even, it is common among high school students. It is estimated that in the U.S alone there are more than 15 million people abuse prescription drugs. The largest percentages of deaths are caused from drug overdosing. Mainly depressants, opioids, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, amphetamines and antidepressants are responsible for more overdose deaths. Even in California the overdose death is mainly due to prescription medications. It has been estimated that since 1999 the percentage of death has been increased by 31% due to this. It seems to be really epidemic. Research into the root causes of this has shown that problem has been existed over the course of many years. One of the reasons includes that the aggressive drug companies are making immense profits out of this. The second reason includes that the doctors are trying to control the unbearable pain of the patients mainly by giving overdoses.

There is a database that keeps and tracks the names of the physicians who tend to overprescribe medicines. This would be really helpful to identify those folks who give drug prescriptions unnecessarily. There is an active prescription monitoring program named CURES that meant for certain controlled substances, it does not require mandatory use by its prescribers, the report says. California, the state also don't have any law stating a pharmacist to permit identification prior to dispensing a controlled substance.

California Gov. Jerry Brown signed two bills aiming to curb prescription-drug abuse.The first bill SB 670 allows the state medical board to inspect and copy medical records of dead patients without any court order. The second bill SB 809 increases practitioners' licensing fees in order to support the renovation of the CURES database that too some doctors consider it complex. Here are some guidelines on how to prevent overdose:

• The patients themselves should take some precautions not to take overdoses: for this reason, they should read the labels and ensure that they take right medications.
• Follow the instructions correctly, take the medication appropriately only when it is required and don't overdo it or else it would bring only harm to you.
• Keep checking your medication for expiry dates and don't use the medications that have crossed the expiry date.
• Don't take any medication without any medical supervision; also do not take other people's medication. This is because each person's body is different and may react differently.
• Older people tend to suffer from memory lapses; they might overdose on their medications. Hence, it would be wise to write it down the name and dosage of the medications.

10 Common Questions Men Have About Sex Addiction

1. Question: Am I a sex addict?

Answer: There are a number of red flags that can signal an addiction to sex. A person who uses sexual activity be it intercourse, viewing pornography, phone sex, chat rooms, prostitution or masturbation as a numbing agent, something to prevent them from feeling bad, may have a sex addiction. Other indicators the sexual behavior is causing the addict problems include their spouse becoming upset over their behavior or they've gone into debt over payment for phone sex lines or Internet pornography sites. Spending an excessive amount of time viewing pornography Over 10 hours a week is another red flag, since this sexual behavior is interfering with time spent with friends, family or at work.

Another key factor is the addict has tried to stop engaging in sexual behavior but failed. When all these things come together, it's time to ask a professional about getting help.

2. Question: Can I be cured?

Answer: Many sex addicts have reported being able to bring their sexual behavior under control, through any one of a variety of treatment methods. Some attend intensive rehabilitation facilities; others go to therapy sessions, attend 12 step meetings or use medication and a host of other techniques to control their sexual behavior. This can include finding a trusted person to act as an "accountability partner." Or for pornography addicts, it can mean the use of pornography blocking computer programs.
3. Question: Does being cured mean I give up sex?
Answer: No. Unlike chemical dependencies related to alcohol or drugs, sex is recognized as a healthy aspect of life. Treatment for sex addiction, while it does involve a period of abstinence, seeks to bring harmful and unwanted troublesome sexual activity under control to where it is no longer causing harm. It may lead to stopping viewing pornography, discontinuing solicitation of prostitutes and other "bottom line" behaviors or even illegal activities. The goal is stopping harmful behavior, but certainly not giving up sex.

4. Question: Is sex addiction even real, or just something people use to excuse their behavior?

Answer: Truth be told, there are some experts who don't feel sex addiction is real and say it's more a product of conflicting social norms and mores. Other say sex addiction exists but do not feel it meets the definition of an addiction in the same way addiction to alcohol or drugs does. For a sex addict seeking treatment, it may be a moot point. To get treatment, first one has to recognize they have a problem and stop trying to use their own willpower alone to control it. Many people have sought treatment for sex addiction and reported results. Much of the criticism about its validity has been aimed at celebrities embroiled in public sex scandals and is hardly analogous to the average person not living in the public eye. Sex addiction is real and one struggling with unwanted sexual behaviors certainly can attest to that fact.

5. Question: What caused this? How did I get to be this way?

Answer: There is no definitive cause for sex addiction, and for each person it will be different. Many sex addicts report being sexually abused at a young age and growing up with a distorted view of sex and what a healthy sex life should be. For others, it is simply the rush of chemicals in their brain after discovering a parent's pornography stash or coming across it in some other fashion. Still others indicate the accessibility of Internet pornography had them fall into a cycle, while there are those who turned to using sex as a numbing agent during a difficult period in their lives and began relying on it as a coping mechanism. For some growing up with abuse, neglect, abandonment and enmeshment have cause the to seek out other ways to feel good about life and themselves.

While knowing the cause of sex addiction is important, those on the path to recovery should not seek to dwell on the unchangeable past; instead, they need to focus on their present actions.

6. Question: Does viewing pornography and sexual interaction over the Internet count as cheating on my spouse?

Answer: Not to be glib, but it can depend on the spouse. Certainly many women do feel that their spouses having cybersex or phone sex with another woman qualifies as infidelity. They may not react in the exact same way as if it had been physical sex with another woman, but the impact on a relationship can be dire. First, the wife will feel betrayed. She won't trust her husband if he's been hiding his behavior. She may can feel bad about herself, perhaps thinking some failing on her part led the husband to seek these sexual outlets.

Even pornography viewing can be a sore spot for women. Society places a lot of pressure on women to be physically attractive and sexually desirable and they may feel they are in competition with actresses in pornographic videos. This can affect their self-esteem, even if they do not confront their husband about the behavior.

7. Question: Can medication lower my sex drive so I don't have this problem.

Answer: Yes and no. There are medications out there that can lower a person's sex drive, and they are often used to treat sex addiction. However, they are limited in their power to erase the problem completely. Some form of therapy, be it a 12 step program or other process, is required.

8. Question: Will I ever be cured or is this a lifelong problem?

Answer: Many people report being able to bring their sexual behaviors under control, sometimes after a period of months or years, and are living lives relatively free of problems related to sex addiction. These people have addressed the factors in their life they had once sought to control by using sex; they have now embedded into their lives multiple tools to avoid falling back into destructive addiction cycles. For some, there is always the fear they will relapse, and some do struggle with sex addiction for long periods of time. There is no quick fix for the problem.

9. Question: I'm also addicted to alcohol. Is my sex addiction just a sign that I'm susceptible to addictive behaviors in general?

Answer: In some ways, yes. Many sex addicts report being addicted to alcohol, drugs, or behaviors such as gambling. They also claim family members with various addictions. It's certainly been theorized that a person can have a genetic predisposition to addictive behaviors. As to treating multiple addictions, it should be noted that many sex addiction treatment programs are modeled after alcohol treatment techniques developed by Alcoholics Anonymous. 12 step programs such as Sexaholics Anonymous, Sex Addicts Anonymous and Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous model their programs after and borrow their literature from that organization.

10. Question: Am I really a sex addict or is my sex drive just naturally high?

Answer: The difference between a sex addict and a person who enjoys a lot of sex has to do with why the behavior is being sought and the inability to stop an unwanted behavior as well as the obsession and compulsion. A person with a high sex drive is aroused and in most cases can control acting on that arousal. A sex addict is engaging in sex as a coping mechanism, isolating themselves from others even if they have a real life partner for the sex, and engaging in the sex act compulsively. They may feel shame after they complete the act, or some general feelings of depression. Actual arousal is not the primary motivator.
