Bonding With Your Partner – Without Candles, Wine Or Lingerie!

Posted in Beneath The Silk  by Alicia

dating_bonding_partner1Question – “What are some of the easy ways in which husband and wife can bond – without candles and wine and expensive lingerie?”

Easy ways? Well, it depends on what you mean by easy!

Bonding has nothing to do with candles, wine and expensive lingerie. It has to do with INTENT. In any given moment we are in one of two possible intents:

The intent to have control over getting love and avoiding pain.

The intent to learn about being loving to ourselves and to others.

Virtually all of us have learned many ways of trying to have control over getting love and avoiding pain. We learned these protective behaviors when we were children, and as adults we unconsciously continue these learned controlling behaviors, such as anger, criticism, withdrawal, resistance, or compliance. For most people, these protective, controlling behaviors have become automatic and habitual. As soon as any fear is triggered, we automatically protect against the fear by arguing, blaming, attacking, judging, shutting down, resisting, or giving in. In relationships, the fears of rejection and engulfment – of losing the other or losing ourselves – generally underlie our protective behavior.

In a relationship, if one or both partners are closed, protected, controlling, then they cannot emotionally connect with each other. No matter how much time they spend together with candles, wine or expensive lingerie, the connection will not be there when one or both are closed and protected. Ironically, when the intent is to get love or avoid pain, what we create is a lack of love and much pain. Our intent to control brings about the very things we are trying to avoid with our controlling behavior.

Our own intent is the one thing we do have control over. We do not have control over another’s intent to be open and loving, but we do have control over our own intent to be open to learning about what it means to be loving ourselves and to others. However, it takes both people being in the intent to learn for partners to emotionally bond.

If both are open to learning, then they will be emotionally available to each other and can bond with a touch, a smile, or a kind word. Bonding has to do with the energy between them, not with anything external like candles, and the energy comes from their intent. A controlling intent creates a heavy, dark, hard, closed-hearted energy, while the open-to-learning intent creates a light, soft, open-hearted energy.

The big challenge in relationships is to stay open to learning about loving. Because we automatically and unconsciously revert to our protective, controlling behavior in the face of fear, being open to learning needs to be a conscious choice. Developing the ability to make a conscious choice regarding your intent is a learning process. The hallmark of higher consciousness is being able to choose your intent each and every moment, even in the face of fear.

When relationship partners are both able to reliably choose to be open to learning about loving themselves and each other, they create a sweet and safe environment for their love to flourish. Then candles, vacations, and lingerie can enhance their experience with each other – the icing on the cake.

Easy ways to bond? Staying conscious and open to learning is not easy! The concept is simple, but doing it is far from easy. Yet devoting yourself to learning to stay open to learning in the face of fear may be the most fulfilling and rewarding experience in your life!

10 Tips For Succeding In Dating!

Posted in Beneath The Silk  by Alicia

Generally the most important step when dating someone is the anticipation moment which refers to your own decisions and also the prepairing for dating someone. And as the most important aspects are also the most difficult ones, people generally leave them aside or neglect them and this always proves to be harmful for a relationship.

This is the exact purpose of this article: to make people understand the importance of this first prepairing for dating and to propose some ways to turn it into something unbelievable:

1) The right state of mind
Turning to optimism can have a decisive effect for meeting your soulmate. A self-assured person, a confident one generally attracts many persons as these are qualities sought by everybody. Shyness and pesimism give the impression of a troubled person who is not willing to meet someone not to mention dating that person. That is why you should always give the sensation of a person who is eager to live new experiences.

2) Beware of your priorities
You should always be sure of what you want: just dating or meet your soulmate?This awareness or clarity in your thoughts preserves an equilibrium between hope and fear. Decide what you most want from a long-term relationship: look over the ones who are not to be changed and the ones which can be compromised.

3) Always preserve your values
Become aware of your values which cannot be changed by any means. If you will try to forget about them for the sake of the person you are dating, you will encounter lots of problems as you can’t escape your personality and thoughts for a relationship. Then see if the relationship can respect these values or not.

4) That’s me, alright!
What is it that you want? What are your needs? What makes you happy? What are your ideals and purposes in life? What are your strong and week points?What are your fears? You should always be very specific about your options and needs so that you can get help from the people who love you. Being specific and showing exactly what you want can become like a magnet for possible ‘candidates’ not only because of your tastes but also because of your preciseness.

5) Being a little selfish can be a wonderful thing!
Do what you want and what makes you happy. This means taking care of yourself and paying a lot of attention to your person. If you are happy you are prone to make the others happy too.

6) Don’t say no to your friends!
Don’t refuse help from your friends but first make sure that they are real friends, not the type who would stab you behind your back. You could recognize your true friends by their opinions which might not always be similar to yours but are intended to help you. Knowing thet you have reliable friends can help you a lot with your attitude.

7)The outside mirror technique
Others can become your outside mirror. You can see many reflections according to your state of mind and not only that – You can become aware of your flaws and acknowledge your qualities. You can also observe if you are capable of making people laugh or happy and in this, you can find other qualities. Awareness enables choice.

8) Forget about the past!
Forget about your past and especially your past relationships as they can do harm to your present relationship. Sometimes memories should be forgotten as they can ensnare people. Nothing can be changed from your past so there is no time for regrets or “what if’s”. It is always beneficial to start over.

9) Everything is so fascinating about you!
It is natural that you always remember about the life you had before dating. Maybe this is what attracted the person you are dating: your relationship with your friends, your commitment and passions. Don’t try to change or forget about your old habits. They characterize you and what makes you fascinating.

10) So this is it!
It is claimed that relationships are what shapes our personality: all kind of relationships and experience as well.

Shopping for Exotic Lingerie

Posted in Lingerie Articles  by admin

Bride Glamour Baby DollExotic lingerie are often characterized by sexy designs in the cut and form of the lingerie. They not only serve as mere undergarments or support for women. Instead, they also serve aesthetic purposes. They are the top choice when it comes to choosing lingerie for honeymoons.

No matter what height, weight, skin tone or hair color you have, there is an exotic lingerie in the market that perfectly suits your attributes. You just have to know the rules and use them to work for you in choosing your own exotic lingerie.

First, if you’re not so adventurous about trying a unique color, you can always go for red, black or white exotic lingerie. The fact that most exotic lingerie come in these colors means they are safe colors to wear. When it comes to material, you may choose lace, satin, silk, PVC, sheer mesh, velvet and even leather.

The most important thing you must remember when selecting exotic lingerie is to emphasize your assets. This is also a way of masking your body’s imperfections. For example, if you have large hips, avoid wearing exotic lingerie with fitted waistlines. Instead, go for those which have a straight cut. You may also conside avoiding waist cinchers and bustiers as they emphasize on the hip area.

Another example is if you have a huge belly. Again, don’t use exotic lingerie which accentuate the belly area. Mask it by turning the eyes to your hips, bottoms or breasts. Use exotic lingerie with fancy designs like thongs.

If height is a challenge for you, you can select certain styles to create illusions. For example if you’re short, stir away from exotic lingerie which are too long. Instead, go for gowns which have slits in the leg area. Such a design can make you look taller. The same is the effect of short baby dolls.

If you’re tall, you can cut your height by choosing exotic lingerie with a tie or lace around the waist. You can make your height work for you by choosing gowns or robes which are short in length, exposing your long legs.

How to Buy Lingerie as a Gift for Valentines Day

Posted in Lingerie Articles  by admin
Valentines Lingerie

Valentines Lingerie

Where To Shop?

Shopping in retail stores can be difficult and uncomfortable at times. You can get the look and feel of the garment you are selecting for your sweetheart but you may be the nervous type and wind up selecting the wrong item. Sometimes salespeople will approach you and tempt you into buying something that may be inappropriate for your relationship. Online lingerie stores are the best, easiest and safest place to shop. Your purchase there is discreet and confidential and can be returned. Just be sure the store has a return policy that is acceptable to you.

What size is she?

First, be sure the site you purchase from has sizing charts so that you can match that to her. You will need to do some investigation to figure out her correct size. Also, remember that all manufacturers sizing runs differently so be sure to email them if you are not sure. A good seller of intimates will quickly respond to questions and if they don’t then don’t expect them to ship promptly. When picking a size choose something on the smaller side rather than larger. It is better for your purchase to be too tight on her rather too loose. This could change the mood of the occasion very quickly !! Check out her underwear drawer and examine the labels. Garments are labeled, S, M, L, XL, 1X, 2X, 3X. Others are labeled size 6,8,10,12,14,16,18 …..and bra sizes are 34B, 40DD, 38D and so on.

What style to buy?

Think about what excites both of you and choose something that will be erotic and turn you both on. Sexy intimates offer many choices so take your time when choosing style and website. When considering the style, think about your relationship and how intimate you are and how long you have been together. You can then choose something that is casual and on the safe side such as lace, satin or silk. Or, select something more risky such as leather, lycra, PVC or vinyl. Be careful, PVC is great for the right occasion but only fits well on true sized people. This is also true for leather so be cautious when choosing this type of material. These types of outfits sometimes are better discussed in advance before purchasing. You want your lady to feel comfortable with your purchase so it is important that is pleases both of you.

What Color?

These choices are simple. Most women can wear red, white or black but try to match her hair color. Blondes look good in pastels and great in black. Brunettes need rich blues and reds. Redheads look good in green, blue and earthy tones.

What size woman?

Choose garter belts for the taller woman or corset types of outfits. Garters belts will make her legs go on forever !! Also, a body stocking may be a fun choice. For the larger voluptuous woman a babydoll may be a good choice but be sure not to choose white or anything see-through.

Scared to date?

Posted in Beneath The Silk, Lingerie Articles  by admin

Many of us get scared at the thought of asking someone on a date. The thought of getting rejected is often too much for us to handle. Unfortunately, this fear holds us back from experiencing life to its fullest.

If you are like most people, you commute to work or school several days a week. During the trip, there is always a chance of getting in a car accident and getting killed or seriously injured. Does that risk stop you? Of course not! Yet, most men and women fear asking someone out on a date, which involves much less risk.

Why are you fearful of asking someone out? It is probably because you lack experience. The best way to conquer your fear is to face it, and take action anyway. The first couple of times will be terrifying, but as you put this into practice dozens of times, asking someone out will be easy. It helps when you look good and feel good about yourself. For the ladies who like to dress really sexy, especially in a club environment, try our sexy leather and vinyl outfits. They will give you the sex appeal that guys outwardly look for.

If you lack the courage to ask someone out right now, take baby steps to help overcome your fear. Say hello to a stranger, or just strike up a conversation with a neighbor you haven’t met yet. You already look good with your sexy lingerie on, but now you have to show your personality. Easy on the pick up lines, because in this society today, nearly everyone is used to them, and bored of them.

Where do you find a prospective mate? The possibilities are endless. Most of us spend a major portion of our time at work, so strike up a conversation with a cute stranger in the break room! Guys, if you are looking for an available female, join a dance class, a cooking class, or a yoga class where females are likely to outnumber males. If you are a female looking for a guy, take a computer class or a class on auto repair, and there will be no shortage of males. If you happen to like the same sex, read my previous advice in this paragraph, and pretend it’s opposite day!

Get to know the person before asking them out. When you do “ask them out”, don’t say “Will you go out with me?” Just see if they want to hang out with you. Plan something much more interesting than “a dinner and a movie”. If you need ideas, take them miniature golfing, shoot some pool, or race some go karts.

Another reason why men and women fear asking someone out is because of the awkwardness of that first date. Think of dating as simply getting to know someone. This will ease the pressure that you feel tremendously. Remember, first dates are interviews, you’re asking questions and wanting answers, mainly to see if you are at all alike, can have a good conversation, etc. If the night ends in romance, excellent! If it doesn’t, either the time has not come yet, or you were simply weren’t right for each other.

So if you’re single, take a risk and start meeting people! You may meet a wonderful man or woman that is just right for you! Take advantage of this great advice and of our sexy lingerie to help you out!

Sometimes I Love You isn’t enough.

Posted in Beneath The Silk  by admin

Do you ever wonder why a relationship can�t always be based on love? Don�t get me wrong, love is of the utmost importance in your relationship, but there�s more to the words �I Love You� than just saying the words. Saying and showing are completely different, so when you tell your lover that you Love them, are they going to believe you? How do you show them your feelings? Is it all words and no action, all action or no words, or a little of both? Hopefully, it�s a little of both, but words can get stale and repetitive, so it�s important that you show your lover how you feel.

Words can warm the heart, but so can sexy lingerie. A simple baby doll, fantasy costume or a sexy bra and panty lingerie set can help show them how you feel. This is especially helpful if you�re one of those people who can�t or chooses not to communicate your feelings with words, but with actions. Trust in Girlfriends Lingerie for your needs, because since 1999, we have made Fantasies a Reality, and will continue to do so as long as our loyal customers keep coming back to us. With the Holiday season coming up, there are so many different gift ideas to choose from, but don�t take my word for it, have a look around our site�.browse until you find something nice, and put it in our wish list, something that we provide to you for you to send to yourself as a reminder as to what you want, or give someone you are with a little �nudge� and e mail them your wish list. Hopefully, the hint will arouse their curiosity and you will be wearing the very item(s) that you decided on.

Remember, love is more than just being about words, it�s about action, and with all the sexy lingerie that we offer here at GFL, we hope that the �action� part of your relationship is fruitful and fulfilling!

Pampering with Sexy Plus Size Lingerie

Posted in Lingerie Articles  by admin

Physically speaking, not all women are created equal. No one has the supposedly perfect figure of a Barbie doll; not all women are built like runway models. Instead of becoming self-accepting and simply maintaining a healthy lifestyle, women seek the unattainable body type and often make themselves ill.

Realistically, according to statistics, a growing majority of women are well endowed and wear plus sizes. Fortunately, responding to a growing need, the fashion industry has vastly improved

the styles and selections of clothing, including sexy plus size lingerie. Regardless of size, well-endowed women also deserve the physical, emotional, and personal pampering with sexy plus size lingerie.

First, consider humanity’s life-long love for the physical feeling of lingerie. For example, a baby’s first blanket is often hemmed in silky ribbon. Often, one side is covered in a satiny material used in manufacturing lingerie. On the other end of life’s spectrum, many people are actually laid to rest on a bed of satin. In between, both men and women enjoy the physical feeling of satin

sheets and good lingerie next to the skin. Lingerie is simply luxurious; lingerie is now available for all women, despite personal tastes and body structure. Women do not have to possess the perfect figure to appreciate the physical feeling of good lingerie. Continuing the love of comforting material is possible with plus size lingerie.

Occasional indulgence is necessary for all women’s emotional well being, regardless of her figure. Lingerie, especially sexy plus size lingerie is good for an individual’s self-esteem. For example, many women express improved attitudes and personal outlooks on life with a trip to the beauty salon to get their hair or nails done. Why not lingerie? Whether lingerie takes the form of nice undergarments or comfortable sexy plus size nighttime lingerie, feeling beautiful at rest, in relaxation, or intimate moments definitely enhances women’s emotional view of themselves and vastly improves self-esteem.

If a woman feels beautiful emotionally, and has a healthy self-esteem, plus size lingerie will likely translate into a more intimate and satisfying personal relationship. Feeling gorgeous, vibrant, and sensual in intimate moments will definitely improve private moments for women wearing sexy plus size lingerie, as well as their partners. Instead of hiding under the cloak of insecurity and darkness, confident women in plus size lingerie can spice up a relationship, initiating intimate encounters.

Therefore, sexy plus size lingerie provides a little personal treat for both well-endowed women and their partners.

In summary sexy plus size lingerie can improve the lives of many women in three important aspects. First, the physical feel of lingerie is a gratification learned from

infancy. Just because women do not have society’s view of the perfect figure, they often deny themselves the simple pleasure of beautiful plus size lingerie. Second, like a trip to the beauty parlor, sexy plus size lingerie is an emotional morale booster. Feeling pretty improves women’s self esteem. Finally, plus size lingerie can also improve personal relationships. Sensual to the touch, feeling pretty, and exuding sensuality, sexy plus size lingerie can result in improving many women’s quality of life, while providing some much needed pampering in the process.
