Comment by Clémence Linard, Raelian Guide and sex-therapist:

An article giving good keys to enjoy harmonious and happy sex life. 
Like the author remembers very well: "sex is about the journey, not the destination." 
Have fun to practice ;o)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


MASTURBATE.  Practice makes perfect.  Learn to play and control your own instrument before you duet, or partake in any other number ensemble for that matter.  When you masturbate, explore your deepest fantasies saying aloud whatever comes to mind.  This will help you evolve in your own sexual self-awareness and also help you become more comfortable with yourself.  If you use porn to masturbate regularly, try masturbating without porn as a mental exercise.  You’ll be surprised where your imagination can take you.
Ladies: if you haven’t figured out how to achieve orgasm through masturbation, the likelihood is you won’t be able to with your partner either.  Take as much time as you need to tease and drive yourself crazy before attempting to go for gold.  Keep trying, keep practicing, you WILL get there.  Besides, masturbation also burns calories, reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and calms aggression – which leads us to the next pointer …
DE-STRESS.  When you’re relaxed, you’re more aware of your sexual energy and feel freer to respond sexually.  Multiple studies over the past several years cite stress as the number one sex drive killer.  Yet ironically, if you would just do it, sex actually decreases stress and releases endorphins that relax you.  There are a plethora of stress-reducing activities that may work better for you than others.  Some include yoga, exercise, meditation, masturbation, prayer, singing, painting, shopping, dancing, volunteering, writing, reading, wine, a spa day, or anything that utilizes creative energy.  Whatever method(s) suits you best, prioritize time in your day to de-stress.  Then when the moment comes, you’ll be ready to reap the benefit of even more relaxation that occurs naturally – after sex.
EXPAND YOUR DEFINITION OF SEX.  It doesn’t have to be all about intercourse, nor should it be.  BOR-ING!  Oral sex, mutual masturbation sessions, holding and caressing each other, toys, erotic massage, and even a good make out sesh are all ways of exploring passionate and sexual feelings.
CHANGE YOUR ROUTINE.  After all, variety is the spice of life.  Sexuality can and should evolve just like all other aspects of your life. If you usually have sex in the evening, go for a nooner or have it in the morning.  Grab a book from the MoSex bookstore and try out some new positions.  Get physical somewhere new and different.  If you’re not brave enough to try it in public, at least leave the bedroom; try the kitchen, under or atop the dining room table, on the stairs, the backyard, or anywhere else that could be fun and different.  If you enjoy an occasional thrill, meet your lover for lunch then sneak away for some naughty fun in the bathroom of the restaurant – just don’t get caught!
DROP THE S-EXPECTATIONS.  Media and porn can exaggerate our ideas and expectations of sex.  Instead of focusing on meeting a goal, focus on having fun.  Don’t compare your body or your sexuality to others; every one is different in their own beautiful way and every one enjoys different aspects of sex.  We are ever evolving creatures, and so should be our sexualities.  Seek to love and appreciate these differences in your partner(s) as you evolve both individually and as lovers.  Stop being so hard on yourself (no pun intended).  Learn to accept and appreciate all aspects of your body, even those that might make you uncomfortable.  We’re not all porn stars, we’re not all models, and no one is perfect – especially not in the bedroom.  Most importantly, remember – sex is about the journey, not the destination.
SENSE OF HUMOR.  Queefs happen.  Gas happens.  Blood happens.  Loss of erection happens.  Shit happens.  No, seriously!!!!  If you’ve been lucky enough never to have experienced something surprising or downright embarrassing during sex, then maybe you just aren’t having enough sex.  Don’t let these little moments bother you.  Make a joke about it, stay humble obviously, but laugh it off!!  Besides, giggling and laughter are great building blocks for intimacy.  Life is just too short to get hung up on the stuff that happens to ALL of us at one point or another.
TALK.  Talk about sex with your friends, family, therapist, life coach, or whomever you feel secure discussing it with; you’ll never become more comfortable with yourself nor the subject matter if you cannot openly discuss it with someone else.   It certainly helps if that someone has a great sense of humor.  I know this first hand because I have a multitude of clients – men and women, gay, bi, and straight – who utilize me just for that purpose.  The more comfortable you are with discussing it, the more comfortable you will become with yourself, and therefore, the more you are able to evolve in your own sexual self-awareness.
TAKE ACTION.  Action precedes motivation.  If you wait around until you’re in the mood to work out, chances are, you won’t.  But if you just get off your bum and do it even when you don’t feel like it, your endorphins get pumping and you feel twice as good than when you were being a couch potato.  The same rings true for sex: Action precedes desire.  If you wait around until you’re in the mood, your sex life will suffer.  Try reading a dirty novel, watching an erotic movie, or simply caressing yourself or your lover – even if you’re not exactly in the mood.  You’ll be surprised at how quickly that switch can turn on if you simply take action.  Once you’re back in the practice of regular sex, you’ll be amazed at how naturally your sex drive will increase.
COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR PARTNER.  It doesn’t matter if it’s a one-night stand or your lover of many years: if they’re doing something you don’t like or something you really like, let them know.  Just do it in a loving and gentle manner.  Try body language at first if you’re worried about hurting someone’s ego.  For example, if your partner is rubbing something that starts to feel more aggravating than pleasurable, try moving his or her fingers from one part of your body to another.  Hopefully he or she will pick up on the cues, but if that fails, SPEAK UP.  Do not be afraid to tell your lover to stop doing something you don’t like; likewise, don’t be afraid to ask your lover to keep doing something you do like.  Human beings are not mind readers.  There is NO reason to put yourself through anything you don’t enjoy.
ATTITUDE.  Regardless of all else mentioned here, a great attitude toward yourself, sex, and your partner is by far the number one most important characteristic of ensuring a positive, fun, healthy sex life.  There is nothing sexier than being with a person who enjoys sex for the wonderful journey it is.  If you allow your insecurities, cultural constructs, or others’ views, definitions, and expectations of you or your sexuality negatively seep into your psyche, it will sour your attitude and devolve your sex life. If you embrace sex with a fearless excitement and appreciation of it and your partner(s), you will have a great sex life and sexual evolution.
Cheers to a happy and healthy sexual evolution in 2012!!!

"Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.
 
There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history, 
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
 
On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.

Comment by Clémence Linard, Raelian Guide and sex therapist:  Excellent article about Myth of sex addiction ! 
There is no scientific evidence that it exists because it doesn't at all. As the author says very well, "they are sending them for a treatment that has never been scientifically shown to have 
 any effect, for a disorder that does not exist". Sex addiction is "a pop-psychology phenomenon, serving only to demonize sex, enforce moral views of sex and relationship and excuse irresponsible behaviors."
The key of sexual life fulfillment is to give a REAL sexual education from an early age, period.

Myth of sex addiction

Despite Tiger and other star ‘sufferers,’ disorder isn’t real

By DAVID J. LEY
Last Updated: 1:24 AM, April 15, 2012

It seems inevitable that when a famous man gets in trouble for sex, he is immediately diagnosed as a sex addict. Tiger Woods, David Duchovny and Michael Douglas have all been “treated” for it, while the media has labeled everyone from Bill Clinton to Dominique Strauss-Kahn with the affliction.
The trouble is that sex addiction is nothing more than a pop-psychology phenomenon, serving only to demonize sex, enforce moral views of sex and relationship and excuse irresponsible behaviors.
The concept of sex addiction first appeared in the 1980s, though it has its roots in the history of the anti-masturbation movement that flourished in America a hundred years ago. Masturbation doesn’t make you go blind, and sex is not a disease. But these facts haven’t stopped people from falsely proclaiming that too much sex is bad for you, too much masturbation will turn you into a pervert and too much porn will turn a person into an uncontrollable pedophile or rapist.
David Duchovny not only claimed to be a sex addict,
              he plays one on TV. But he and Woods don’t have a real
              disease.
SHOWTIME
David Duchovny not only claimed to be a sex addict, he plays one on TV. But he and Woods don’t have a real disease.
It is commonly asserted that 3% to 5% of Americans are addicted to sex, though these numbers have no legitimate basis in science. Sex addiction has been rejected by the American Psychiatric Association, time and time again, because there is no scientific evidence that it exists.
The proponents of sex addiction use concepts borrowed from Alcoholics Anonymous, applying the 12-step model to sexual behaviors. For decades, sex addictionologists have refused to conduct their own science to defend their claims that sex is a disease and that too much sex causes psychological problems. Instead, they’ve used what I call “Valley Girl Science” to claim that sex addiction is real because it is “like” drugs and alcohol.
But sex is not like alcohol or drugs, no matter how much they claim that it is. Sex has no tolerance or withdrawal effects. No one has ever died from being unable to have sex, nor has anyone ever overdosed from sex.
Alcohol and drugs create changes in the chemistry of the brain, while during sex, the brain is working the way it is supposed to.
Does sexual desire affect our judgment? Yes, it does, but this is normal. Human sexuality is designed to make us want to have sex, and everyone has had the experience of wanting sex to the point that they get a little stupid. But it is a far stretch to reach from this mild effect of arousal to suggesting that sex takes away someone’s self-control. To suggest this would be to imply that all people (especially men) are potential rapists.
More than 85% of self-proclaimed sex addicts are male. The majority of men who enter sex-addiction treatment do so because they’re in trouble with their wives for infidelity or merely for wanting more sex than she does. The list of sexual behaviors that are allegedly addictive is dominated by stereotypically masculine sexuality. Things like masturbation, use of pornography, cyber-sex, going to strip clubs or prostitutes, and even infidelity, are all behaviors that over a century’s worthy of sexuality research has demonstrated are common, if not universal, in men.
Why do these folks have a problem with male sexuality? Because our society has decided that masculine sexuality is inherently dangerous and destructive and must be controlled. In the dark ages, female sexuality was seen as the main way the devil entered women’s hearts and turned them into witches. Today, male sexual desire is seen as equally susceptible to evil. Again and again, it is male leaders, stars and athletes who are labeled as sex addicts, when their indulgence of their sexual desires creates a controversy.
It’s not just men in power who use sex addiction as an excuse. Despite the fact that sex addiction does not meet legal rules to be admissible as evidence, it is pervasively used in courts across the country. In trials of rape, sexual crimes and even divorce proceedings, the claim of sex addiction is raised by defendants as ways to plead for leniency and for sex addiction treatment in lieu of punishment. When courts succumb to pity, they are sending them for a treatment that has never been scientifically shown to have any effect, for a disorder that does not exist.
Believing in sex addiction doesn’t teach men to be responsible, to be thoughtful and conscious in their sexual choices. Instead, it teaches men that they are powerless to control their sexual desires without professional help.
Though the male libido is a powerful force, research shows that all men have the ability to control their sexual desires, if they choose to exert it. We need to teach our young men that having lots of sex doesn’t make them more manly, but that respect, integrity, responsibility and self-control are the qualities of a real man. We do need to demand that our leaders act ethically and responsibly. If powerful men choose not to exert control and accept responsibility for their sexual behaviors, how can we trust them with our laws, lives and government?
Society itself has become addicted, to using the label of addiction to explain people’s behaviors and to absolve them of responsibility. We cannot teach people to be in control of their sexual desire, if we tell them that it is inherently addictive and destructive.
David J. Ley is a clinical psychologist and the author of “The Myth of Sex Addiction” (Rowman & Littlefield), out this week.

WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their intelligence at its
full capacity, the label "selected by RAEL" on some articles does not
mean that I agree with their content or support it. "Selected by RAEL"
means that I believe it is important for the people of this planet to
know about what people think or do, even when what they think or do is
completely stupid and against our philosophy. When I selected articles
in the past about stupid Christian fundamentalists in America praying
for rain, I am sure no Rael-Science reader was stupid enough to
believe that I was supporting praying to change the weather. So, when
I select articles which are in favor of drugs, anti-semitic,
anti-Jewish, racist, revisionist, or inciting hatred against any group
or religion, or any other stupid article, it does not mean that I
support them. It just means that it is important for all human beings
to know about them. Common sense, which is usually very good among our
readers, is good enough to understand that. When, like in the recent
articles on drug decriminalization, it is necessary to make it
clearer, I add a comment, which in this case was very clear: I support
decriminalizing all drugs, as it is stupid to throw depressed and sad
people (as only depressed and sad people use drugs) in prison and ruin
their life with a criminal record. That does not mean that there is
any change to the Message which says clearly that we must not use any
drug except for medical purposes. The same applies to the freedom of
expression which must be absolute. That does not mean again of course
that I agree with anti-Jews, antisemites, racists of any kind or
anti-Raelians. But by knowing your enemies or the enemies of your
values, you are better equipped to fight them. With love and respect
of course, and with the wonderful sentence of the French philosopher
Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to
the death your right to say it".
