The Best Ways to Compliment a Woman in Bed

It would seem to be common sense that complimenting a woman in bed would make her more eager to please, but it doesn’t seem to be to many men. Flattery between the sheets could be just the aphrodisiac your woman needs to turn her into a naughty vixen.  Isabella Snow gives men several sexy compliments they can use in bed, the best time to use them, and for the truly clueless, she even explains why women would appreciate each compliment.

Compliments just aren’t as commonplace as they used to be. It’s really a shame, considering how receptive the average woman is to hearing them. Flattery is a great big plus in the eyes of any female, provided it sounds genuine. And if a man is willing to explore this arena in the bedroom, it can do wonders for his (and her) sex life.

The following phrases are sure to inspire; just be sure to mix them up once in a while. We don’t want to diminish their potency, nor do we want you to rely too heavily on any particular compliment.

22 Things You Should NEVER Say or Do During Sex

At The Frisky, Simcha lists 22 things that you should never say or do during sex.

Once, I got drunk at a wedding and took home a yuppie. He looked so cute in his white tux and charmed me into dancing to Earth, Wind & Fire. Needless to say, I couldn’t wait to take that stallion for a ride. But, as I unzipped his pants, he said, “Don’t get excited, you won’t be impressed.” A small penis never ruined my good time—until then. Things went from bad to worse. He was a deep-breathing whiner who just lay on his back because, he warned me, “Girls only get off when they’re on top.” Something tells me those other ladies weren’t given any other option—and they definitely didn’t orgasm. There are some things—like selling yourself short and telling someone how to get off—that you should never say or do during sex … Read more

10 Signs You’re Not Satisfying Her

Are you sexually satisfying your wife or girlfriend? Men’s Health lists ten signs that you’re not pleasing her.

If your wife has turned into No-Nookie of the North, bitch goddess of the frozen tundra, the problem may be emotional rather than physical, according to recent Kinsey Institute research. The study also suggests that in any given month, nearly one-quarter of women will report some sexual distress.

“When a woman feels dissatisfied, it’s very rarely in one realm,” says Scott Haltzman, M.D., a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University. Here are some clues she’s not happy.

1. She Pulls Away from Your Children
“She may resist caring for the kids because she’s hoping you might notice that her needs aren’t being met,” says Haltzman. “What she’s doing is asking you to talk.”

2. The Credit-Card Bill is Higher
“Some women resort to shop therapy to fulfill themselves,” says Bonnie Eaker Weil, Ph.D., author of Adultery, the Forgivable Sin.

3. She’s Gained Weight
“Women will over-compensate for the lack of sex by eating more to feed their sexual hunger,” says Eaker Weil. Read more

Why Sex Is Better When You’re Angry

Almost three-quarters of women withhold sex when we’re fighting with our partners. However, by doing that we may be missing out on some hot sex because the adrenalin rush of a fight creates a response in the brain similar to sexual arousal. And after all, having make-up sex doesn’t mean you lost the argument.

The two of you have had an argument. You’re still mad, but he’s not — and he wants to make up by making love. Fat chance: You cross your arms in front of your chest and stand firm, unmoved by the tender kisses he attempts to plant on the back of your neck. “How could he think he’s getting sex now?” you wonder. You’re not alone: In a poll on redbookmag.com, 72 percent of female respondents said they withhold sex from their husbands when they fight.

But maybe you should open your arms and embrace your man instead of pushing him away. Making love is not an admission that you’re wrong and he’s right. It’s an acknowledgment and a celebration of the love you share even in times of discord. Besides, 10 minutes after the shouting, he’s already past the argument. Women hold on to anger longer than men do. We could learn from them how to let it go.  Read more
