Creating Sexual Desire

Conflict Resolution, Romance and Intimacy, Sex Tips, Sexual Problems, Video / By Angela Skurtu

Most people treat desire like a feeling that comes and goes on a whim. As a result, they only act on their sexual urges when the feeling is present and they avoid sex when the desire feeling is not present. The problem with treating desire this way is that we have many feelings that come and go throughout our days. We may never have the right timing to engage in desire. For some people, desire may not even come up as a feeling for them for days, weeks or even months.

In this video, we discuss how desire can be created. You don’t have to wait to feel desire to engage sexually with a partner. You can be an active participant in creating desire. Check out this video to learn more about being proactive with your desire.

How to Practice Self Compassion

The more I do this work, the more I realize how important it is for me to help clients practice self compassion. We, as a society, are very unkind to ourselves in our minds. On a weekly basis, I say to my clients, “You are being so hard on yourself.” When you do this, it impacts every area of your life. It impacts your ability to have patience. It impacts your ability to have compassion for your partner or your children. It impacts your ability to learn new skills or take in feedback from a boss.

In this video, I teach clients how to stop beating themselves up and start creating a mental environment where actual growth is possible. This is the number one skill needed for emotional intelligence.
