When West eventually responded, he denied ever having engaged in anal play of any sort, writing, "I stay away from that area all together [sic]." He then added, "I'm not into that kind of s-t..."
Sadly, this knee-jerk defensiveness is common among heterosexual men who are intrigued by--or who enjoy--anal play.
First of all, there is that fear among heterosexual women that their partners will be threatened by the introduction of a toy into the bedroom. What's interesting, though, is that the vast majority of men are not actually nervous or threatened by sex toys. A tidal change has happened in our culture.
It came in Chapter 1, when I was reading these data:
This is basically how Dr. Lloyd summarizes 32 studies conducted over 70+ years, on the frequency of women's orgasms with intercourse - intercourse ALONE, mind you, not orgasm with additional direct clitoral stimulation. (It doesn't add up to 100% because there are overlap in the groups, but it's a solid representation of 70 years of science.)
The central point Lloyd is making with these data is that only a minority of women are really reliably orgasmic from intercourse alone - the overwhelming majority are sometimes, rarely, or never orgasmic from intercourse and require more direct clitoral stimulation. This is something I talk about a lot on the blog, because the cultural narrative around women's orgasms is that they happen with intercourse, while the reality is sometimes they do and often they don't.
But the HOLY CRAP moment came for me when I realized that "5-10%" is the same range of "no orgasm at all" that I came to in my book.
I haven't read Lisa's book for several years, so I didn't (consciously) remember her statistic, but my own lit review led me to conclude the same range of the percentage of women who neverhave orgasms: 5-10%.
And then to top it all off, I read this Refinery29 article that cites this Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) page that says that 10% of women never orgasm at all.
Does that sound high to you? 10% never have orgasms, ever in their lives? One in 10?
It sounds high to me.
So I dug deeper into the research and put it together with my clinical and teaching experience... And I realized something remarkable:
That 5-10% range might actually be a huge overestimate. Here's why:
First: In general, sex therapists and educators refer to people who've never had an orgasm as "pre-orgasmic," rather than "anorgasmic," to emphasize that just because you HAVEN'T had an orgasm doesn't mean you CAN'T have an orgasm. Therapy for "anorgasmia"(typically 6-14 treatment sessions, with "homework" in between to begin practicing masturbation) is generally quite effective, and it's MOST effective for women who've never had an orgasm - around 80% of women with primary ("lifelong") anorgasmia successfully have an orgasm with the treatment.
Second: Most young women who've never had an orgasm begin having them later in life, without therapy. In this recent study (PDF) 12% of women between the ages of 17 and 28 had never had an orgasm, and about 4% weren't sure - much greater than 5-10%. The "5-10%" represents all women of all ages, not the proportion of women who will die never having had an orgasm, but this means that this group is composed disproportionately of women under the age of 25, who may very well go on to have orgasms later in life.
Third: Several times, I've taught about childhood sexual behavior - particularly the ways that girls masturbate by humping things - and someone has come up to me afterward and said, "I had totally forgotten, and of course at the time I had no idea what I was doing, but I was definitely having orgasms as a kid!"And these have almost always been women who had to work deliberately to have their "first" orgasms in adulthood. They would have identified as "women who haven't had an orgasm" before that first intentional orgasm at age 18 or 24 or 32... but they actually had had orgasms, without knowing that's what they were doing.
So it's not at all clear that women who've never had an orgasm are women who can't have an orgasm or will never have an orgasm They just women who haven't... yet... as far as they remember. I myself most often say that anyone interested enough to sex to WANT to have an orgasm almost certainly can, given the right context. That "right context" might involve a Hitachi Magic Wand, a racy sustained fantasy, and 45 minutes, but it can happen. Ruling out medical issues like spinal cord injury, medication side effects, etc,"no scientific evidence supports the idea that anorgasmia arises from dysfunctions in body systems" (paywall).
But then! I returned to the research... and this is the really weird thing:
I can find no research specifically on women with truly lifelong anorgasmia. None.
I did a far-reaching literature review and I can't find a single paper that looks at the experience of these women. The best I found was the section in The Hite Report, "Women Who Never Orgasm." Hite found:
1. Almost all the women who had never orgasmed would like to;
2. Some women aren't sure if they've had orgasms.
3. The best way to learn is to masturbate - though some women without orgasm did masturbate, just not to orgasm. The most effective masturbation technique for most women is directly stimulating the clitoris and vulva.
4. The age range of women without orgasm was 18-77.
Other things I can conclude from the research:
It's certainly not that these 5-10% of women are asexual - only about 1% of the population identifies as "asexual," and plenty of asexuals have orgasms. And it's not that there isn't loads of research on women who don't have orgasms - it's almost all clinical research, assessing efficacy of interventions to help women who want to learn to have orgasms.
So how many women will never, under any circumstances, have an orgasm? And do they wish they could, or are they not bothered?
For me, this is an intellectual puzzle - and for the women themselves it might be nothing more. But maybe they really want to have orgasms - maybe they have tried and failed. Like, what about the 20% of pre-orgasmic women who don't learn to have orgasms from therapy? If we extrapolate from the 5-10%, that's 1-2% of the total population. Who are they? How do they feel about it?
So I'm reaching out to you, oh blog of my blog, oh intelligent and sex positive readers. I want to hear from you if:
(a) You were late to orgasm - first orgasm after age 25 would generally put you in the 90th-95th percentile. Did you wonder if you never would? Do you feel orgasms come easily to you now, or do you sometimes struggle? What's your preferred technique? How do you feel about your orgasms?
(b) You have never had an orgasm. Would you like to? Do you not really care but feel pressured to by others? Are you "out and proud" or is there a sense that you "shouldn't" tell people you're not a person who has orgasms?
(c) You have a friend or partner who's never had an orgasm. Do you find yourself wanting to encourage them to try?
(d) You can point me to research that I didn't find. Is there a paper somewhere talking with women of various ages who have never had an orgasm? That 20% of preorgasmic women who are not successfully treated in therapy?
Please share!
There is a gap in the research, friends. Let us begin, in our small way, to fill it.]]>
But research has shown that as people age, they don't necessarily forget how to have a good time in the bedroom.
"Sex can be better after 40, 50 and 60 than it ever was in our 20s," says Joan Price, a writer, educator and senior sex expert. "Now, we're no longer propelled by our hormones -- we're having sex for other reasons: sexual pleasure and release, intimacy, joy, bonding, emotional well-being."
As I discussed in a previous CNN column, sex therapist David Schnarch writes about the difference between a person's "genital prime" and his or her "sexual prime."
For most of us, the genital prime happens during adolescence and our 20s, when the body is in its best shape. However, the mind may not be as well-developed sexually. Schnarch says that a person's sexual prime is actually well beyond what most of us think of as the hot-and-heavy sex years -- more like middle age than high school.
So is senior sex actually something you should be looking forward to? Does it get better with age?
According to a study in the November 2008 issue of Psychological Science, marital satisfaction may actually improve once your kids leave the nest, and this higher satisfaction level extends to the bedroom.
Is sex safe after a heart attack?
In fact, many of my colleagues in the world of sex therapy claim that empty-nesters tend to have more disposable income and more opportunity to enjoy quality time with their partner.
Not only that but, as we age, we benefit from accepting ourselves as we are, knowing what we like, and not being afraid to ask for it.
The New England Journal of Medicine in 2007 published a comprehensive sex survey of 57- to 85-year-olds in the United States.
The survey involved two-hour, face-to-face interviews with 3,005 men and women around the country.
Researchers also took blood, saliva and other samples so as to learn more about hormone levels, sex-related infections, and other health issues. They even tested how well seniors could see, taste, hear, and smell -- things that affect being able to have and enjoy sex.
Among survey respondents, 73% of those aged 57 to 64; 53% of those aged 64 to 75; and 26% of people 75 to 85 reported having sex with a partner in the previous year.
Of those who were active, most said they did it two to three times a month or more. Not only that, more than half of those aged 57 to 75 said they still gave or received oral sex, as did about a third of 75- to 85-year-olds.
Of course, not everything in your sexual future is rainbows and multiple orgasms. Sexual issues may arise at any age.
But in the case of this study, half of the sexually active respondents reported having at least one sexual issue to contend with. The most common issue for men was erection trouble (37%). As for women, they experienced low desire (43%), vaginal dryness (39%) and inability to have an orgasm (34%). In addition, one out of seven men used Viagra or other substances to improve sex.
Still, these issues don't deter them. Just last year, research published in the British Medical Journal showed that 80% of 50- to 90-year-olds were sexually active.
Take that, Miley.]]>
But should you really forgive and move on after infidelity?
"Most of us are totally unprepared for what lies ahead in a relationship, and ignorant of what's required to last the course," Spring writes. "An affair shocks us into reality. Fortunately, it also invites us to try again."
Adds Nelson, "Many couples instinctively know that infidelity is much more complicated than our culture sometimes admits."
Couples can, and do, often find their way to an ultimately deeper, more intimate bond -- but it can take time and effort.
"In the wake of infidelity, most betrayed partners feel surprised and caught off guard," says marriage and family therapist James Walkup. "But even though the hurt person may have assumed they would not stay married to a straying spouse, they may realize they still love their partner and want to work on the relationship."
Today, not all committed relationships follow the traditional definition of monogamy. For example, both partners may decide together what constitutes cheating going forward -- whether that means flirting with a particular friend, visiting a strip club or even having sex outside the relationship.
"I have seen a growing number (of) straight and same-sex couples thrive on the infamous 'monogamish' agreement," psychotherapist Jean Malpas says. "They realize that long-term relationships might need to include the reality of attractions to other people. They carefully define trust and craft guidelines for acceptable behavior based on their level of comfort with risk and fluidity."
Such a "monogamish" approach tends to be more common among gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people, notes sex therapist Margie Nichols.
"The issue is commonly on the table for consideration or discussion when LGBTQ partners get together, and when a transgression is purely sexual (as opposed to emotional), it may be less likely to end the relationship," she says.
That's not to say that monogamish couples are safe from infidelity, however.
"Just because a couple is monogamish does not mean that they will be any more forgiving of a partner who breaks the rules and violates their trust," says social psychologist Justin Lehmiller. "Deciding whether to work things out has less to do with the gender of the partners and more to do with whether it was a good quality relationship to begin with."
Nelson adds, "Ideally, your relationship will continue to grow and change as each of you grows and changes, and it may change position on the (monogamy) continuum throughout the years."
You can't heal from infidelity overnight. Instead, take time to rebuild your relationship slowly. Rather than ignoring the affair, be willing to share your pain, listen to each other and provide comfort when one partner is remembering the betrayal -- all can help lessen the pain while re-creating the original bond that joined the two of you together.
"Turning your back on a damaged relationship may be the simplest or most sensible solution, one that frees you from the tyranny of hope," Spring writes. "But it also may be a way to escape growing up, facing bitter truths about life, love and yourself, and assuming the terrible responsibility for making your relationship work."
Some couples undoubtedly view an infidelity as the end of their relationship -- and in some cases, going your separate ways may be the best decision. But for partners who are willing to recommit themselves to each other, an affair can be a turning point.
"Sometimes my clients acknowledge that coping with infidelity was the worst and yet the best thing to happen to their relationship," Walkup says. "The distance between them has been bridged, and a deeper level of sharing and intimacy can bring joy and hope in the long run."]]>
Arousability refers to your trait levels of SIS and SES (dual control model). Our best understanding at this point is that sexual arousability works along the lines of intelligence, height or any of the other plastic traits: you're born with a certain range of potential, and where you fall within that potential depends on life experience. It is "innate," along the lines of Jonathan Haidt's very useful definition: organized in advance of experience. That doesn't mean it's set in concrete at birth. It means that you're given a range of pontential at birth, and your experiences shape how that potential plays out.
In other words, your trait-level arousability is a result neither of nurture nor of nature, but of the interaction between the two.
Arousal, in contrast, is the product of the interaction between your arousability and the environment. And THAT is something you definitely CAN change deliberately.
Because while our capacity to respond to sexually relevant stimuli is organized in advance of experience, what qualifies as "sexually relevant" is NOT. (There may be one or two minor exceptions, but for the purposes of this question we'll cheerfully ignore them.)
Imagine a little girl, maybe 4 or 5 years old, lying in her bed at naptime, masturbating as is her habit. And imagine that her adult caregiver walks in on her and feels surprised and then embarrassed and then ashamed, and the parent says to the little girl, "Don't do that! That's bad!"
That little girl's brain creates a little glitch, a little brakes response that is associated with whatever arousal she was experiencing at the moment she was interrupted.
Now accumulate time and repetition. Let the steady drip of life corrode a pathway into the brain. The message doesn't have to be perfectly consistent - some of the learning can be contradictory, as long as the message is consistent ENOUGH, it will build a pathway in the brain deeper than the alternative pathway. And 20 years later, that girl who grew up in a culture that taught her masturbation was bad and her body was not her own to do with as she pleased, now wonders why she feels guilty when she's aroused and it takes her an hour to have an orgasm.
The good news is that this learned association can be unlearned. And that is what we can change about our sexual response.
The best book that I know of is Julia Heiman's Becoming Orgasmic. It walks you through a series of exercises that help you recognize when negative thoughts or feelings emerge when you're experiencing arousal, and then help you let go of those negative thoughts or feelings when they emerge.
It takes time and patience and practice. If changing your sexual response is walking to the center of a maze, I've just described the general route. This is not the same as actually going through the maze.
If going through it alone seems daunting, a sex therapist can walk through the maze with you.
It's absolutely possible. The glitches got planted because your brain was working APPROPRIATELY. You're not broken, you just grew up in a culture that built some stuff into your brain. And now that you're a grown up, you can choose whether to keep that stuff or try something different.
It takes time. Practice. Patience. But the same processes that built in the glitches can deconstruct the glitches and build a new and different response to sexual stimuli.]]>
At first I thought it was just the brilliant Brits. And then I did a little research and discovered that the term is already in use in some academic and educational circles here in the U.S. Pink Therapy is publicizing a growing cultural shift. I'm jumping for joy! I feel like I've waited a lifetime for this trend.
Because this isn't just a new alphabet soup. This is a different paradigm, a reversal of the pattern of making finer and finer distinctions of sex and gender that prevails in all areas from identity politics to scientific discourse.
They say in scientific thinking there are 'splitters' and 'lumpers; 'different issues at different times require both approaches. LGBT activism started in the 1970's with organizations that just used 'gay' in their titles, e.g. the National Gay Task Force. Then lesbians argued that 'lumping' them with gay men made them invisible, and that started the trend of adding letters to distinguish the different groups who wanted to be included under the 'big tent.' Politically, this made sense. But science followed politics, and over time researchers as well as the culture at large have behaved as though each letter in the acronym represents a distinctly different group. And this has led to some problems- identity politics have become conflated with reality. This is a time for us to be 'lumping' together people who are outliers, minorities, nonconformers in their gender expression/ identity and/or their sexual expression/identity. This group of people includes those with same sex attractions, or both/pan gender attractions; it includes the whole spectrum of TGNC (transgender and gender nonconforming) people; but it also includes kinky, nonmonogamous, asexual, queer, refuse-to-label-myself people as well.
Here's why we should all switch to GSD immediately:
The paradigm that currently dominates the field of sex therapy and research is one that first and foremost is a pathology model, a medical/psychiatric model that tends to see all 'outliers' as indicators of disease. And it is a 'splitting' model: every time the psychiatric Bible, the DSM, is amended the fights are about adding new categories of sexual anomaly/pathology. This time around, in the preparation of DSM5, there was a group proposing that 'hebephilia' be added as a 'paraphilia' i.e., sexual perversion. (Hebephilia, by the way, means sexual attraction to teenagers. Perhaps a majority of men would qualify as hebephiles.)
And what I keep coming back to is - maybe our categories are just plain wrong. Different cultures at different historical periods have 'sliced up' the GSD pie in different ways. For example, although we draw a bright line between gender and sexual orientation, throughout history more commonly the two have been conflated: 'Invert' was the nineteenth century term for homosexual.
We 'see' gender and the gender to which one is attracted as the two most important dimensions of sexuality. What if there are others we are missing completely? What if there are reasons - perhaps including even biological reasons - why the kink, nonmonogamy, and LGBT communities overlap so much? More intriguing examples: young people are replacing 'bisexual' with 'pansexual,' and it is true that there is a huge overlap between the bisexual, kink, transgender, and open relationship communities. What if we are missing an important dimension of human sexuality like general openess to a multitude of sex and gender expressions? Or this - there is a growing phenomenon of previously lesbian identified transmen who become attracted to gay men after transition. What if 'same-sex' orientation is exactly that - attraction to others of the same gender as you.
What if we don't have a clue? What if we are our understanding of sex/gender variation is in its infancy, as I believe? If there is a chance that is true - then the lens we need to use must be broad and inclusive. For now, GSD - Gender and Sexual Diversities - is the best paradigm we can use.]]>
The survey, which asked 120,000 American adults whether they identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, found that 6.4% of people aged 18 to 29 said they were LGBT: about three times more than people over age 65.
But do results like these indicate that younger adults are more likely to be LGBT, or are they simply more likely to acknowledge it? It's probably the latter, say my colleagues.
"These numbers might reflect a generational change in social acceptance for LGBT identities," said psychotherapist Jean Malpas, director of the Gender and Family Project at the New York-based Ackerman Institute for the Family. "Today's youth and young adults, at least in some communities, are gradually more comfortable being open about their sexual and gender identities."
Another potential reason for the increase in self-identified LGBT youth is the influence of a new generation of parents who embody a positive attitude and wouldn't have it any other way.
"Today's millennial parents are more than just accepting of their children's sexual identity. They're comfortable and embracing of it, too," said Ron Taffel, psychologist and author of the book "Childhood Unbound." "They want to actively support and engage their children through communication about all aspects of their lives."
Research, including this survey, also suggests that young women may be more likely than men to identify as bisexual.
"The pattern across surveys is that men are more likely to identify as gay, whereas women are more likely to identify as bisexual," explained social psychologist Justin Lehmiller. "We don't know exactly why this is, but many psychologists believe it results from women's sexuality being somewhat more 'flexible' or 'fluid' and men's sexuality being somewhat more 'fixed.' "
Many other young people are eschewing traditional descriptors for sexuality and gender completely.
"There's been a lot of work done on how LGBT youth is more and more frequently rejecting labels altogether, blurring the lines between sexual orientation and gender, creating new labels and identifying as gender-queer, gender-fluid or pansexual, to name a few," said sex therapist Margie Nichols. "The very term 'LGBT' is too confining now, which is why I prefer the term Gender and Sexual Diversity, or GSD."
That term could also include the 1% of people who identify as asexual, which means they aren't sexually attracted to anyone.
"While we're creating space for a variety of sexual identities, we also need to create space for non-sexual identities," said college sex educator Emily Nagoski.
Indeed, many of the experts I spoke to expressed frustration that Gallup and other surveys limit the options from which a respondent can choose.
"The terms lesbian, gay and bisexual just don't capture all sexual minority identities," Lehmiller said.
Nichols agrees. "These studies are missing a tremendous opportunity by not including an 'other' category. It's a shame, because the 'other' category is the wave of the future."
Separate from sexual identity is gender identity. While not addressed in the Gallup survey, experts say, this distinction is increasingly important, particularly for today's youth.
"Gender nonconforming expression and identity are different from sexual orientation," Malpas explained.
"Sexual orientation is about who you are attracted to and who you fall in love with. Gender expression and identity refer to the gender you feel comfortable expressing and identifying with, which might or might not be aligned with the biological sex you were assigned at birth."
As transgender and gender-nonconforming children and teens become more visible, both in communities and in the media, parents are less likely to dismiss them.
"Only a decade ago, a parent would have probably answered 'stop saying silly things' to a 6-year-old son who insisted on being a girl," Malpas added. "Today, the same parent will stop and think about the transgender children they've seen on TV or in magazines and may more readily inquire with professionals and other parents."
More than just stop and think, they'll also hopefully want to talk. Says Taffel, who specializes in breaking through to teens, "Open communication is a primary value for today's parents, much more so than setting limits and rules, and the spirit of open communication trumps the content of any conversation."
While it's important not to confuse gender and sexual identity, parents can take a similar approach in discussing them with their kids.
"Of course, you should reassure the child of your love, but you'll also want to find ways to expose your child to others like him or her so the child doesn't feel different or alone," Nichols suggested. "Allow yourself to experience mixed or negative feelings if you have them, and consider joining a support group. You've also got to be prepared to be your child's advocate with schools, neighbors and community activities."
I find the survey results very encouraging, as they indicate not just a shift of differences in human sexuality toward the mainstream but also suggest that the future is promising for people who don't fit into "the norm."
"We're evolving, culturally, beyond the need to impose rules on who's allowed to do what with their genitals and their hearts," Nagoski said. "This new generation of young people understands that love is love, that people are people and that the freedom to experience joy and mutually consensual pleasure is a birthright."]]>
Believe it or not, you aren't the first guy who has fantasized about this. In fact, a similar scenario has even appeared on one of the Top 10 Lists of Sexual Fantasies that I have compiled on my website. So let's talk first about where this fantasy might come from; however, please keep in mind that different reasons might exist for different men.
Perhaps the most common reason I hear from non-psychologists in trying to explain this fantasy is something along the lines of "well, duh, he's either gay or bisexual." This may be true for some guys, particularly guys who are interested not just in watching, but also joining the action--however, I don't think this explains why so many men have this fantasy. Instead, there may be some psychological and/or evolutionary reasons behind it.
For instance, some men may find it arousing to see their partner sleep around simply because they are voyeurs. In other words, they may derive great pleasure from watching other people engaged in sexual activity. A certain degree of voyeurism is common, given the widespread popularity of pornography; however, some people have more intense degrees of voyeurism than others and are only satisfied seeing the real thing in person.
Another possibility is that there is a biological or evolved mechanism that stimulates arousal in this situation. Specifically, seeing another man (or multiple men) bedding a desirable woman may stimulate sperm competition. The basic idea is that when such a situation is observed, men's bodies and brains respond in such a way as to increase the likelihood that their sperm will outcompete that of other men. Consistent with this idea, both men and women report that after a period of separation or when female infidelity is suspected, the male partner thrusts faster and deeper during their next sexual encounter, possibly as a means of displacing other men's semen.1 Perhaps even more compelling, research has found that after viewing pornography that depicts sperm competition (i.e., two men having sex with the same woman), male participants exhibited a greater percentage of active sperm in their ejaculate than did men who viewed porn featuring only women.2 Thus, it may be adaptive for men to be aroused by this situation because it will increase the odds that they will impregnate their partner instead of someone else.
Of course, other explanations are also possible (e.g., some guys may just have a desire to see their partner completely satisfied, while others may enjoy the fact that it is a forbidden or taboo activity). But no matter the reason, as long as the activity is consensual and nobody feels pressured into doing something they do not want to do, acting on this fantasy could potentially enhance sexual satisfaction for everyone involved.
As for the question of "how to talk your wife into it," I cannot tell you that because I do not know how your wife feels about nonmonogamy and the prospect of sleeping with other men. Like any other sexual fantasy, this is not something you can force upon your partner--going through with it has to be a mutual decision. The only thing you can do is tell your partner about your fantasy and see where it goes. Of course, that's easier said than done because sharing fantasies can be difficult, especially when they involve bringing other people into the mix. This is the kind of thing where you don't just want to blurt out what you're thinking; rather, you want to work up to it slowly through a more general process of communicating about your desires. Thus, the timing is important, as is the way it is framed because your partner may interpret this fantasy in a lot of different ways.

In fact, two recent studies show that cell phones can have a negative impact on close relationships.
Researchers from the University of Essex found that people who engaged in personal discussions when a cell phone was nearby -- even if neither was actually using it -- reported lower relationship quality and less trust for their partner. They also felt their partner was less empathetic to their concerns.
Other studies suggest that cell phones can distract our attention from the present moment. And that's a problem, considering the results of the Mobile Mindset Study, a recent survey that found three out of five U.S. smartphone users don't go more than hour without checking their gadgets.
Taken a few steps further, smartphones, tablets, and laptops -- and the social media they often support -- have the potential to tear couples apart.
I've talked before in this column about the capability of Facebook and other social media to threaten relationships: They provide a sense of instant gratification that stimulates our brain's reward centers, offering quick hits of novelty that can be downright addictive.
Plus, they allow us to connect with friends, co-workers, and even former flames, fostering an immediate and intense sense of intimacy that can lead us to romanticize these connections. At best, you're giving your energy to these digital distractions, not your partner. At worst, you could be setting the stage for emotional infidelity.
Of course, it's unrealistic to ditch your smartphone altogether, especially if you also need it for work. But there are things you can do to use it wisely -- and even help improve your relationship. Here are three tips for making technology work for you and your partner:
Set it aside. It should go without saying that cell phones are best kept out of sight and out of mind when you're on a date. Turn it off and place it in your bag or pocket for the duration -- the world won't end if you can't check your e-mail for an hour or two.
I also recommend shutting down phones, tablets and laptops at night, or at least charging them in a room other than your bedroom. Not only can they interfere with your ability to relax and unwind, but their distracting presence can also put a real crimp in intimacy.
Rethink social media. We've talked about the possible perils of connecting with your exes online. But I typically advise that you don't "friend" your partner, either. As Facebook friends, you have access to the most mundane parts of your significant other's day, from what he ate for lunch, to what new movies she wants to see. Talk about removing any sense of mystery!
If you do want to connect online as well as off, consider joining a digital service that helps foster togetherness. Best described as intimate online spaces for just you and your partner, programs like Between or TwoCup offer a place to share private memories, messages, and photos -- away from the prying eyes of others.
Make a sexy connection. Technology isn't all bad: It can actually bring you closer together -- and even add some spice to foreplay.
Use your smartphone to send your partner a sexy e-mail, voicemail message, or "sext" describing a fantasy or your plans with him or her for the evening. Engage in a little Skype or FaceTime flirtation, especially if one of you is out of town. Just a word of caution: Be sure to use personal, not company accounts.
Smartphones and other gadgets can clearly have a negative impact on your relationship -- but they don't have to. By learning to use them wisely, you can start to feel more connected to your partner than ever.]]>
After puberty, testosterone levels are usually at their highest, driving competitiveness, aggression, and sexuality. It seems that almost anything from nervousness, to excitation, to daydreaming, to boredom can trigger an erection. For many teenage guys, masturbating daily or even several times a day is common without untoward consequences.
Then we cut to a sexual situation. Maybe there is the expectation of having sex with a partner that is very attractive and exciting, so much so that a guy becomes anxious about his ability to please his partner. If his anxiety starts to overshadow his excitement, he may not be able to keep an erection or even get one at all. Once the anxiety becomes the predominating thought, not only does it flood the system with adrenaline, but it leaves little room for real erotic thoughts that drive arousal.
What kind of response a guy gets to his level of arousal can also greatly influence the level of his erection or ability to maintain it. A strong, judgmental, hysterical, or demanding attitude on the part of his partner is not only insensitive, but works directly against his arousal and can make the situation even worse. The more that a guy can continue to focus primarily on what he finds exciting without getting pressure from his partner or from his own performance anxiety, the better the chance that he will have in getting an erection that he is pleased with and keeping that erection.
When anxiety takes hold, the best tactic is to redirect one's thoughts to whatever activity or stimulus is pleasurable and erotic in the moment. Don't worry about what will happen 5 minutes from now since you are only in control of the present. Similarly, don't continue to beat yourself up about past disappointments, because those moments have passed and you have the ability to shape each moment differently. Instead, pick the first thing that is the most erotic for you and let yourself completely focus on this. Sex is much better when it is a "want to" and not a "have to."]]>
"Boredom is basically like an attack on our relationship's immunity system - once weakened we're all the more susceptible to a cascade of ailments," said sex therapist Ian Kerner.
Some of the top factors leading to relationship boredom include:
• Moving in together (15.6 percent)
• Marriage (13.8 percent)
• Getting pregnant (8 percent)
• Having kids (32.2 percent)
• Getting older (38.5 percent)
So it sounds like the the longer your relationship goes on, the more likely you are to become bored.
But listen up: When it comes to relationship boredom and infidelity, women may be more vulnerable than men. Maybe that's because men tend to cheat opportunistically - you know, "there she was just'a walking down the street" - whereas, for women, infidelity is more related to overall relationship satisfaction. And any woman will tell you that boredom strikes at the heart of contentedness and can quickly turn satisfaction into dissatisfaction.
So here are some tips to boredom-proof your relationship:
1. Ask your partner to try something new in the bedroom. The majority of the respondents were entirely interested in trying something new in the bedroom to combat boredom. So, get going. Need some ideas? Check out the Good in Bed Guide to 52 Weeks of Amazing Sex. Start with sharing a fantasy, or try a sex toy such as a vibrator. You may be surprised to find out that your lover actually does want to try a new position, play a sex game, use a lube -- or even an enhancer.
2. Maintain your individuality. For many people, this wasn't the first relationship in which they've felt bored, and most also felt bored both at home and work. In this sense, boredom is contagious, and you have to start with yourself. From your career, to your friends, to maintaining your own personal passions and interests, being a strong couple requires being a strong individual.
3. Keep finding things to talk about. At the end of the day, it's easy to feel that communication is a chore, that talking to your partner is boring or routine and that there's nothing new under the sun to possibly talk about. When you're feeling this way -- nodding and half-listening, with no real interest in how your partner's day went -- you're in serious danger of getting too detached and disconnected and becoming vulnerable to things like infidelity, depression and indifference.
One of the earlier explanations, known as genital echo theory, proposes that female breasts only became a significant factor in attraction once human beings started walking upright.1 Before we started walking on two legs, the biggest source of visual excitement for men was the female buttocks. However, when we stood up, the buttocks was no longer as prominently displayed. As a result, the thought is that the breasts became bigger and more pendulous in order to mimic the visual appeal of the buttocks (think about it this way: cleavage bears a striking resemblence to the rear end, doesn't it?).
One of the newer theories is that men have evolved a preference for breasts because stimulating them enhances bonding with a female partner.2 The basic idea is that women find breast and nipple stimulation to be sexually pleasurable. In fact, some women find nipple stimulation so pleasurable that it can lead to orgasm in and of itself! In addition, such stimulation causes the release of oxytocin in the brain. Oxytocin is a hormone that facilitates bonding between humans. Research has shown that it plays a role in the bonding that occurs between mother and child during breastfeeding, as well as between romantic partners who have sexual contact. Some scientists believe that men have developed an attraction to breasts precisely because breast and nipple stimulation tap into this neurochemical bonding system that can bring couples closer.
Other theories certainly exist (e.g., breasts may also be desired because they indicate sexual maturity and fertility status), however none of them tell us definitively why heterosexual men tend to look at women's breasts like they are one of the seven wonders of the world. These theories are complicated by the fact that not all men are into breasts, and that there are big cross-cultural variations in terms of what men find attractive about the female body. Although scientists do not fully agree on a single explanation, there does seem to consensus that men's fascination with breasts has evolutionary roots.

I'm always careful to make clear that while the adventures of Ana and Christian may make for a compelling erotic yarn, their story is by no means an accurate depiction of BDSM relationships (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism), nor is "Fifty Shades" any sort of guide book.
For instruction on that topic, you'll need to turn to the works of true sex-positive educators such as Clarisse Thorn or Tristan Taormino and their books "The S&M Feminist" and "The Ultimate Guide to Kink," respectively.
But there's no denying that "Fifty Shades" has sparked widespread interest in how to improve our sex lives -- and what better way to do that than via a good "how-to" book?
If you're uncomfortable talking about sex to your friends, doctor, therapist or even your partner, such books can be an important resource, whether they impart new information, help you work through an issue, inspire you to become more adventurous or simply turn you on.
So, in the spirit of sharing, I asked some of my favorite sex experts to pick their favorite sex books:
Debby Herbenick, a research scientist at Indiana University and the author of "Sex Made Easy:"
"Hands down, I recommend 'The New Male Sexuality' by Bernie Zilbergeld. A classic in the field, it gives a rich picture of men's sexual lives including myths they're taught about sex and common problems such as erectile issues, communication blocks and rapid ejaculation as well as solutions for these problems."
Joe Kort, a clinical sexologist and founder of the Center for Relationship and Sexual Health:
"I recommend Jack Morin's 'The Erotic Mind,' which helps remove the shame of sexual behaviors and fantasies by understanding what they mean in a nonsexual way. Morin addresses where fantasies and desires come from and how shame can be removed and replaced with healthy acceptance for individuals and couples."
Amy Levine, sex coach and founder of Ignite Your Pleasure:
" 'Hot Sex: Over 200 Things You Can Try Tonight' by Jamye Waxman and Emily Morse is a fun, sensual, seductive, creative and tantalizing book filled with more than 200 ways to tease, play, entwine and explore. When I coach couples who are in a sex rut, I suggest they use this book as a tool."
Laura Berman, sex educator, researcher and therapist:
"If I had to pick, I would choose either 'The Anatomy of Love' by Helen Fisher or 'The 5 Love Languages' by Gary Chapman. Both are extremely helpful for couples to understand how men and women are wired differently and to learn how to love one another in a way that lasts."
Justin Lehmiller, Harvard University social psychologist and online sex columnist at The Psychology of Human Sexuality:
" 'The Technology of Orgasm' by Rachel Maines chronicles the history of 'hysteria,' a bogus female medical condition that led to invention of the vibrator. Maines' book is a meticulously researched, fascinating and humorous look at the origin of hysteria and the birth of the motorized sex toy.
"I also adore 'Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex' by Mary Roach, which traces the history of how scientists have studied sexual arousal and orgasm in a very engaging way that refuses to take itself too seriously and never gets bogged down in jargon or technicalities.
"On a personal level, 'Bonk' holds a special place in my heart for helping me realize how much fun a career in sex research could be."
Megan Andelloux, certified sexuality educator and sexologist:
" 'America's War on Sex' by Marty Klein describes ridiculous sex laws and research that Americans are led to believe are true. It's a must-read book for anyone interested in sociology, psychology, sexuality education, law and parenting.
"I'm also a fan of 'My Secret Garden' by Nancy Friday, which discussed women's fantasies well before erotica became truly popular."
I've read and recommend many of these books myself, and this list is only the beginning of many exceptional works worth exploring and learning from.
In my opinion, no list would be complete without Esther Perel's "Mating in Captivity," an excellent guide to integrating a sense of sexual mystery into long-term relationships.
And on a personal note, in 10 years of writing sex books, my first, "She Comes First: The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a Woman," remains my most popular.
At the time, I often mused that many men -- through no fault of their own -- knew more about what was under the hood of a car than under a woman's clothes or what was behind her orgasm.
In writing "She Comes First," I am grateful to the Federation of Feminist Women's Health Centers and their book, "A New View of a Woman's Body" (unfortunately now out of print) and to Rebecca Chalker's excellent book, "The Clitoral Truth." Any man or woman truly interested in deepening their knowledge of a woman's full sexual potential should give this book a read.
No matter where your sexual interests lie, you're sure to find something new on the shelves of your local bookstore. And if you're too embarrassed to shop in person -- well, that's the beauty of the Kindle, Nook and other e-readers -- no plain brown wrapper necessary!
Any books to add to the list that have helped you improve your sex life? Tell me about them in the comments below. I'm always looking for a good read.]]>
When it comes to teaching kids about sex, most parents simply don't know what they should say, how they should say it, or when these conversations should begin. This seems to be especially true for dads, with research finding that fathers are typically far less involved than mothers in their children's sex education.1 Although there may be any number of reasons for this (e.g., women are more likely to be primary caregivers and are usually seen as the health educators in the home), the fact of the matter is that dads sit on the sidelines far too often in this regard. And when dads do talk to their sons about sex, these "talks" usually involve jokes, awkward silence, and a tendency to keep the more serious issues at a distance.2 This is a shame because by a wide margin teenage boys report that their parents are the most influential figures in their lives when it comes to making decisions about sex.3 And a lack of open and honest sexual communication has negative consequences. For instance, most teens report that they would have an easier time postponing sexual activity if they could talk more to their parents about sex.
So, for all of the dads out there, when should you have "the talk" with your son and what should you say? Below are a couple of tips to help get you started on the right foot.
1. Initiate the talk about sex early - ideally by age 10 or 11, if not sooner. Far too many parents want to wait until their kids are older or until the time seems "right" to broach the subject. However, the longer you wait, the less likely it is that the talk will ever happen, or if it does, it may be too little, too late. Admittedly, it is more difficult with boys than it is with girls to determine the "right" age, because with girls menstruation provides a natural segue into talking about sexual development. However, consider the fact that most boys are searching for pornography by the age of 10 or 11. With that social marker in mind, it tells us that boys need a relatively early lesson so that parents do not miss out on a vital opportunity to shape their sons' ideas about sex and relationships.
2. Find out when and what your kids are learning about sex in school - and be prepared to fill in the gaps. If possible, consider attending the sex education program your kids will be exposed to or, at the very least, speak with your son's teacher about what exactly will be covered. The idea here is that you do not simply want to assume that your kids are getting all of the knowledge they need elsewhere. For example, just consider that more than one-third of teenage boys report receiving no formal instruction regarding contraceptive use in school.4 You need to know what the school is providing so that you can supplement the information and also be prepared to answer any questions that your child might have.3. Recognize that uncertainty and embarrassment are normal reactions for any parent in this situation. Please do not avoid having the talk because you don't know how or because your parents never had the talk with you. The reality is that no one knows what they are supposed to say in this situation, and there is not one "correct" way to teach your kids about sex. It is also worth acknowledging that the talk will likely be embarrassing, but that there are things you can do to cope with that.5 For example, remember that kids embarrass their parents all of the time in all kinds of situations--so this should not be a new experience for you! If you are worried that you won't have the right words or be able to describe things well enough, then bring out some pictures and books to help (such as Let's Talk About S-E-X), or try to tie the conversation in with things that you see together on television.
4. Don't leave all of the hot-button and serious issues off of the table. As I mentioned above, dads have a tendency to keep the more serious issues at bay, but please try to avoid doing this. The talk that you have about sex should include more than just the mechanics of how babies are made, because human sexuality is far more complex and your kid wants (and needs) to know more than just the basics. Topics such as sexual orientation, masturbation, oral sex, and sexual assault should all be addressed too. You might think that teaching your son how to avoid getting a girl pregnant is the only goal here, but keep in mind that vaginal intercourse is just one of many sexual activities boys might pursue and that not all boys are heterosexual. How do you feel about other activities and what should your son know to keep himself (and his partners) safe?
5. Keep the conversation going and be sure to talk about relationships too. Finally, keep in mind that "the talk" isn't just a one-time thing. This is an ongoing conversation you will need to have with your son as he gets older because new questions are bound to come up for him and it's impossible to teach someone everything they should know about sex and sexuality in the span of just one short conversation. Also, keep in mind that your talks should not focus exclusively on sex--it is important to talk about relationships too. Developing healthy relationships is something that most of us learn by trial and error because it is not taught in elementary or high school, and not necessarily even in college. Sex, love, and intimacy all go together, so try as much as you can to relate these to one another over the course of your talks.
On a side note, while the focus of this article was on dads talking to their sons (a common problem area), most of the above tips would be useful for any parent who is trying to figure out how to talk to their child about sex. For more resources on this topic, check out Talking With Kids About Sex.

Officials: Shipman Fire near Kearny 47 percent contained
PHOENIX — A fire burning about 70 miles southeast of Phoenix has charred over 500 acres and has destroyed one home so far.
The Shipman Fire has been burning for almost three days, but is now 47 percent contained as of Wednesday night.
Residents near Kearney were evacuated Monday after a wildfire moved close to their homes but about 100 of the 200 homes have been cleared for re-occupancy.
Twenty more homes were evacuated due to the size of the fire.
No injuries have been reported, but at least three structures have burned, with one home being destroyed.
According to Pinal County officials, the Shipman Fire may have been sparked near the San Pedro River.
Jonetta Trued of the Eastern Arizona Incident Management Team said they have a full line of resources battling the fire.
Trued also said she remains optimistic the fire won't spread and that people could soon return to their homes.
The American Red Cross also said 25 people stayed Monday night in a shelter set up in an elementary school in Kearny.
Steve Henry, chief deputy with the Pinal County Sheriff's Office, said the wildfire began burning through salt cedar trees along the river bed and sending embers floating into Kearney.
Arizona Department of Transportation officials closed five miles of State Route 177 near Kearny for a time but that was reopened at 11:30 p.m. on Monday.
Kearny is located east of Florence, Ariz., and south of Globe, Ariz.

The YME School Board approved a motion on Monday night to charge students participation fees for both athletic and non athletic extracurricular activities.
Increasing fees and charging fees for both athletic and non-athletic activities has been discussed by YME school boards for several years. Previous boards have seldom raised athletic fees and never adopted fees for non-athletic activities.
Athletic and Activities director Tim Knapper told the board, "We all agree that we want students to be involved. The reality is that there are expenses and only limited ways to bring in revenue." Knapper has been gathering data on the fees charged by other districts in the conference and shared with the board that YME is one of only a few schools in the area that does not charge fees for non-athletic activities. "The numbers we're proposing are not on the top of the conference or the bottom; we'll be in the middle."
Board member Shelly Weir reacted to the new non-activity fee schedule saying, "I think $40 is outrageous. 0 to $40 is a big jump."
Questions were also asked about why there are two levels of fees, one for jr. high and one for sr. high and how the non-athletic activities were selected. Knapper said the difference in the levels is due to high school activities having longer seasons and incurring more costs than jr. high. Board member Tim Opdahl explained the rationale behind the selection of activities. "These are elective activities and cost the district money and should be included in the fee schedule."
Non-athletic activities that will be charged a participation fee include: math league, fall play, jr. high play, one act play, musical, knowledge bowl, speech, mock trial, robotics, Lego league, FFA competition and marching band.
Beginning with the 2012-2013 school year the fees for 9-12 athletics will be $80; the fee for 7-8 athletics will be $60; the fee for 9-12 non-athletic fees will be $40 and the fee for 7-8 non-athletics will be $25. There is a family cap of $350 for fees. In addition adult activity passes will increase to $75 and student activity passes will be $25.
Students who receive free and reduced lunch qualify for reduced participation fees. If a family qualifies for reduced lunch the participation fee is 50 percent of the regular fees. If a family qualifies for free lunch the participation fee is 20 percent of the regular fees. In the past, families that qualified for free and reduced lunch have not paid fees. Superintendent Al Stoeckman explained the rationale for now charging fees, "With the fees in place it is believed that the students will make a commitment to the activity and stick with it."
Knapper indicated to the board that there are other safety nets in place to help families pay participation fees. Athletic director office assistant Jean Feldman said, "We have never turned anyone away."
Page 2 of 2 - It is anticipated that between $12,000 and $17,000 in revenue will be raised through the participation fees.

- status: open --> open-fixed
PGV will not honour any requests to upload either a new GEDCOM or a replacement GEDCOM. After entering all the pertinent details of the GEDCOM configuration and clicking the "Save" button, PGV simply returns to the same Upload form with the file name field made empty.
The problem is caused by missing documentation in the PHP import_request_variables() function. This function *always* imports the _FILES array, and that is not documented anywhere.
The home-grown import_req_variables() function has been updated to make the importing of the _FILES array optional, and the call to this function in editconfig_gedcom.php has been changed to add _FILES to the list of arrays to import.
Fix PHP 5.4.0 and higher compatibility issues
The attached file should fix the compatibility issues introduced in PHP 5.4.0.
Download the attached ZIP file and expand it on your local PC. Copy the result to the server directory where PhpGedView is installed.
Three files should copy to that directory, and one file should copy to the subdirectory "includes/functions". These are the same files that were updated in SVN 7075 and then again in SVN 7078 and then again in SVN 7079.

U haven't had chicken unless u went to visit Paul n ordered a whole chicken cut up to go with sauce for dipping on the side. Then u must order extra chicken wings to go too.
U won't b sorry.
After one visit u will make many more n more.
we take the food out, and if I am having guests I can call that morning and order say 3 dozen wings and 2 large pasta salads, tell the time I will pick them up and it is ready
Based on other reviews, we tried the wings. They are simply mot good. For that matter, neither is the coleslaw or fries. Very disappointing.
Cabral's is the best rotisserie chicken on the planet. We get a freshly cooked bird once a week (closed on Mondays) and we can have at least two meals for two people with the small size.
The chicken falls right off the bone and is super tender and flavorful with a nicely cooked skin due to the side heated rotisserie...
You can not get better chicken wings . Good for a quick lunch . Many other items for the whole family .
I've been coming to Cabral's since I was an infant. Love LOVE the food and Paul. Couldn't talk to a nicer guy while getting an awesome meal. Chicken dinner is my favorite. Must try his macaroni salad, cole slaw and stuffies. I've had everything hear and can't complain about a single meal. Can't forget about Fish & Chips on Fridays!...
We went to The Arena Bar & Grill in Cranston for the NFL Sunday Tickets. They had one of the best wings I ever had for only 35c! The place was so cleaned and friendly staff! I highly recommend them.
How this is not the number one place on the list I do not know. While on vacation to the area, our party of seven gorged ourselves for only $50. Our group included one from Nigeria, one from London, one from New Orleans (by way of California), three kids below 10, and me from all over the US. The people...
I have been going to Cabral s for years. I can honestly say I have never been unhappy with the food. Great chicken, wings, stuffys, great sandwiches, especially the steak. No shaved stuff here. Don't forget Fridays Fish & Chips. I just ordered 2 and can't wait. Go to Cabral s. You'll be glad you did.
Dropped in for the chicken wings. It was just us and all the local contractors. The wings were large and very tasty, but just straight up cooked. You could get BBQ sauce with them that was different, the color of cranberry sauce. The owners were as pleasant and down to earth as could be. Four of those wings completely stuffed...

Ask Oprah's All Stars - 20 Questions for 20 Somethings
Dr. Oz, are you ever too young to use Botox?Dr. Oz: You can't make much of a difference with your wrinkles when you're 20, 25 or even 30 years of age because your skin is so flexible that it's gonna be able to bend back no matter how much you frowned or growled or anything else in life, so I think you're wasting your money to get Botox, and fillers.
Most of those things before the age of 30, most plastic surgeons, dermatologists won't want to do it...Some people get the beginnings of wrinkles but you're not gonna really impact them cause your skin is still flexible. When you get past the age of 30 depending on how you treated it, it becomes more like cardboard so it starts to leave creases in it.
I have a problem if someone is 20 years old and they're wanting to do things to them self to change. It is premature to do that. I'm not sure if it ever makes sense to do some of those things. But I certainly wouldn't think someone in their 20's should be doing that just because they're trying to capture the look of the day. Cause it's gonna change.
The issue is at what point is it worth even thinking about it, but before the age of 30 or 40 that should not be on your radar screen. There are bigger things, bigger places for you to grow and worrying about something that's going on just inside of your eyes or underneath your nose.

Pretty cool song. I really like the melody here. It creates a very nice atmosphere. Too bad I can't listen to this any louder right now, because I think I'm missing out on some very cool background stuff. But I still want to get this review done, heh...
Anyway, I got reminded a bit of Radiohead's "Kid A", while listening to this. While your song isn't as "creepy" in atmosphere, I still think this song would fit nicely on that album.

Thanks man! Getting compared with Radiohead makes me very happy! Thanks :3

Reviews From Guests
We had a great time! Edward's apartment was great. Very nicely decorated, exactly to our taste. We really like the apartment, plenty of space for 4 people to have a nice weekend trip ! Great neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants, bars and cafés. the metro station "Oberkampf" is only 2 minutes away. Edouard has detailed instructions for use of everything in his apartment, and is only a phone call away for questions! Great host. THX
Eduard was very welcoming and we had a nice chat. Everything was ready and very clean at our arrival. A bottle of wine and some fruits were waiting for us. We could even use his computer to check things on internet. Appartement is clean, luminous and really quiet, many shops and resturants arround (don't miss bakery at the corner...) We felt a bit as at home. I strongly recomend to stay at Edouard's appartment
The flat was just what we wanted - right near the trendy part of town and with two of the comfiest armchairs in Paris! Edouard was the perfect host - detailed instructions of how to get to his flat from Gare du Nord, and a handbook outlining some of the highlights in his neighbourhood. The flat felt very homely, and we were big fans of the decorations. I would highly recommend Edouard's flat to anyone looking for a place to stay in Paris!
The stay in the apartment was great, and Édouard was a great host, responding emails quickly and everything went very smooth. In the area you can find alot of restaurants and bars, it was great! The apartment was clean and felt quite big, it was perfect for me and my colleague. I will be back!
Staying in Edouard's apartment was a pleasant and rewarding experience. It is in one of the liveliest areas of Paris, yet the apartment itself is very quiet. Two useful Metro lines are just steps away and a short walk / one subway-stop ahead is Place Republique, offering quick connections to anywhere in Paris. In comparison with many of the rather small places in Paris the apartment offers plenty of space with kitchen, livingroom and separate bedroom. It is fully equipped and has everything needed and more. Edouard is a helpful and gentle host, he always responded very quickly to all my messages and was a really nice guy to meet in person. He offered his help immediately when my return flight was threatened by the wheater conditions. In the end I was able to fly but for sure would have enjoyed staying longer at his apartment. I will be back...
Edouard's apartment was fantastic! The location was great, right by several metro stations. It was clean and comfortable and felt like a home away from home. Edouard himself was really easy to get in contact with and super friendly! I would definitely stay here again and recommend his place to anyone.
Appartement calme et propre, et Edouard est tres acceuillant. C'etait exactement ce qu'il nous fallait
It was a pleasure to stay in Edouards Appartement. All comfort you need and a typical Parisian Atmosphere in his home. Excellent communication and a warm hospitality. I recommend this Place and Edouard!
We loved the apartment, plenty of space for 2 and felt like home! Great neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants, easy access to groceries, etc. The metro station was only a few blocks away. Edouard has detailed instructions for use of everything in his apartment, and is only a phone call away for questions! We had a great time!
Ho avuto un piacevole soggiorno dentro questo piccolo appartamento nel cuore del quartiere Oberkrampf, molto parigino. Nella stessa strada lavanderia - panetteria - supermarket e dei locali molto carini. Edouard è gentile e disponibile. Io ero a Parigi per lavoro quindi rientravo solo la sera, ho scelto questa zona per la comodità dei trasporti, la metro Oberkrampf è a 100 mt e perchè la sera gradivo fare un giro in un quartiere animato e sicuro, comunque consiglio questo appartamento a una clientela giovane.
Reviews From Hosts
Edouard e Alessandra, sao dois hospedes exemplares.responsaveis, organizados, limpos e muitissimo educados! Recomendo a todos estes hospedes
Edouard manages a theatre company and two actors stayed in my apptm for a few days. We didn't meet in person, but they left the place clean.
Tout s'est très bien déroulé, je ré-accueillerais avec plaisir pour un futur séjour à Bruxelles.
Edouard, it was a pleasure hosting your colleagues Fredéric, Lionel & Sylvain! Welcome back, any time! Wishing you a fruitful & sunny year, as well as all the finest, Aida & Berry
Eduard was clear and prompt in his communication. He booked for a friend, but arranged everything very well. Thanks a lot and hope to see you yourself another time!
Edouard was charming. He was very respectful both personally and with the house rules. He left the apartment in perfect condition. I recommend him to other hosts. mai 2015 .Said
Thanks to Edouard we hosted three of his friends. Everything went very well; they left the apartment in a very good order and very clean. It will be a pleasure to receive them again!
Very good - reliable, good communicator, flexible, and left the apartment in an impeccable state.
Édouard a réservé pour son collègue, il a été très clair dans sa communication et précis dans les informations communiquées. Son collègue Gaétan, est très sympathique, il a laissé l'appartement d'une propreté irréprochable.
