INTRODUCTION

Be sure to review, below,  the resources related to making love!!!!  Buy the essential ones, as part of learning the essentials of relationships and not being an unskilled or less skilled or less willing lover.  Consider reading at least Tracey Cox's book "Hot Sex".

Consider whether when you committed to your relationship whether you also implicitly committed to fulfilling your partner in love making.  As it is so vital, I would hope that you did.  If not, now is the time. 

And be clear, please, that lovemaking is not "performing", as there are no special skills needed beyond the basics of being caring and paying attention to what your partner wants.   (Most of us at one time or another have bought into the idealization of being a lover of epic skills and body parts - and we want to "measure up" so that we can attain the approval and acceptance from our partner.  But those who still hold these cultural myths as truths are doing themselves and their partners a great disservice.  It is more about caringly touching and communicating with one's partner, in ways that are easily learned and done.)

Some people may "take offense" at the suggestion that one should learn more about making love because they have "already learned it, of course!"  But few do, as the learning is by guessing and trial and error, but without full knowledge in one of the most key skills, which are totally learnable "soft" skills.

Now on to the materials.  And a bit of enjoyment and fulfillment!


THE MEANINGFULNESS OF LOVE MAKING

"Sex", What Is It Really? - There is much misunderstanding that is so harmful here.  People see this in such a narrow sense and they completely miss the key point.  It is a tragedy to not fully comprehend this. See the parts on what sex really is, deep down, to a man and what it is, beyond the physical, for a woman.

     Read the relevant section in Dr. Laura Schlessinger's book, The Proper Care
         and Feeding Of Husbands - and follow it!  Read also how to understand
         the other gender, see Resources, below, especially Making Sense Of Men
         , Kevin Leman, which gets more explicit.

              Why Have Sex? It's More Than Sex!!! - Understand this, as it is a basis for creating and
                   maintaining a foundation for a marriage.
              What Making Love Means To A Man - Understand this to remove the barriers, create
                   compassion, and to be able to truly love a man, in action!


REQUESTING WHAT YOU WANT

(F)            Love-Making - What Is Wanted And Preferred - Few people ever adequately
                    express this, so they are less likely to get what they want - in terms of what and
                    how.  (Explicit)
           
CREATING HAVING NO BARRIERS

               Making Love - The Barriers We Set Up And Why - Lots of reasons and things we
                          create, but they are mostly childish, from limited belief systems and incredible
                          assumptions and misinterpretations.
               Sex? What If I'm Not In The Mood? - It is crucial that you understand this, as it is
                          one of the biggest and most unintelligent of barriers.
               When The Desire Is Not There At The Time - What do you do? This is how to make it all
                    work.

BEING A SKILLED LOVER - AND WHY

               How Skilled At Making Love Should I Be? - Well, how important a part of life is it? 
                          If it's important, how do I go about being an expert, instead of an amateur or trial
                          and error person?



RESOURCES RELATED TO MAKING LOVE:


Books

Read at least one of these. Actually it is most important that you do make love, even if it is imperfect, as long as it is very caring; that is what meets the basic need, as high performance is not and should not be that important!

It is recommended that you read two books as this is such a vital area!  Being a good lover is not what you may think from the myths and the movies!) 

See also the books below on understanding the opposite gender, as the knowledge therein is essential to relating well, which in turn is the basis for feeling like making love, which is, in turn key to relating well...
