BAJAN SUN MAGAZINE NOV 2014 By Denise J Charles T he quickie may have gotten a bad rap over the years for lacking intimacy, but after reading this, you’ll see how it can spice up your marriage. Today, more than ever before, there is an unmistakable drive towards educating us in the fine art and science of lovemaking. After decades of underestimating the power of female sexuality, the "I Am Woman Hear Me Roar" anthem of the '60s and '70s has unleashed, for the most part, a brand of woman confident in her sexuality and far more knowledgeable about what she wants. This has not come without some effort, as we have all been exposed to the countless seminars, books and articles (present company included), which are designed to help us rev up our sex lives. Men, the previous culprits of "wham, bam, thank you mam" sex, have been tutored and cultured in the fine art of being virtual connoisseurs of lovemaking. Sounds excellent on paper, but the reality is, that with life in the fast lane as most of us experience it, fast-food sex is probably what we’re likely to get on a regular basis. Let’s be honest, in a normal week, how many of us really have the time to roll out the rose petals, scented candles and fragrant oils? We’re likely to reserve these things for special events or weekends as we seek to grab our sex quota between the waking baby, complaining teenager and our morning coffee (sounds familiar?). Which brings us to the inevitable quickie; with so much emphasis on long, leisurely lovemaking, do we even know how to make quick hay while the sun shines? I know many wives are wary of this idea because most of us women tend to describe ourselves sexually as slow ovens which need adequate time to heat up. But maybe there is a way to benefit from speedy sex which can still give new meaning to the phrase "you leave me breathless." Follow these tips to learn how to maximize and master the quickie. Train Your Brain Getting the most out of a quickie means virtually having a ready frame of mind for sex, most of the time. While for many husbands quick readiness may be a fait accompli, for most wives, it may take a literal retraining of our brains. We women have been told repeatedly that we need time to be aroused and while there may be some truth there, we need not become stuck in slow-response mode. Since sexual readiness and sexual enjoyment literally begin in the brain, then it makes loads of sense to deliberately think sexual thoughts. Use your imagination to fantasize and think up some steamy sex scenes with your spouse. Imagine doing all those things you love to do or haven’t had a chance to try. Take a little time from your busy schedule to try this for a few minutes each day. This is like putting extra storage in your arousal bank, which makes it easier for you to enter the sex act with minimum "on-site" preparation because your sex-bank has already been in over-drive. This makes you literally ready and rearing to go at the drop of a hat. www.bajansunonline.com/MAGAZINE/ | [email protected] | @BajanSunOnline Bajan Sun Magazine (0
