DearSugar — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 15:00:00 -0800

The only way to get what you want is to ask for it, but when sexpert Dr. Laura Berman explains her second tip for living your best sex life on Oprah.com, she makes it seem a lot easier said than done.

Talking about sex, your body parts, his body parts, and what feels good can be incredibly intimidating for a lot of people, including myself from time to time. Not only can it be difficult to talk explicitly about what turns you on, but it's easy for the other person to become insecure if they don't think they're already pleasing you in that way. Communication is crucial in every relationship but tell me, do you feel comfortable asking your partner for what you want in the bedroom?

DearSugar — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 10:30:00 -0700

Dr. Laura Berman was back on Oprah yesterday talking about - what else? - sex. Only this time she was teaching the importance of talking to your kids about sex. Having the birds and the bees talk is definitely an uncomfortable and scary thing to do, but Dr. Berman feels that if you haven't already broached the subject with your teen, you could be making a huge mistake.

Through diagrams and open dialog, she helped mothers break the ice about sex and sexual pleasure, but one controversial thing she recommends parents do is talk and teach their kids about masturbation. It seemed like everyone in the audience was extremely uncomfortable with the idea of this and I have to agree - I don't recall my mother ever talking to me about pleasuring myself! Now I might be in the minority here, so tell me ladies, did you talk about masturbation with your parents when you were a kid? And do you plan on talking with your children about it?

Finding ways to de-stress, especially during times like these, is critical for your health and your happiness, and according to Dr. Laura Berman, kissing can really help in that crusade. Of course kissing and cuddling makes us feel close to our significant other, but it turns out that couples who engage in that connectedness are actually eight times less likely to be stressed and depressed than couples who don't take that time for each other. She also says that kissing for a minimum of a 10 seconds every day is crucial for our happiness - not just a peck ladies, but a real kiss!

I know that we all have busy schedules so tell me, do you have time to kiss your special someone for at least 10 seconds every single day?
