I was reading Cosmo - odd magazine for a 43 year old to read but it is teaching me stuff - this was the most recent article.
So what is pre-ejaculation? Well it's when a little of his cum comes out - right.....well here is what Cosmo said....
"The fluid released when a guy is turned on serves for two purposes: First, it lubricares the head of his penis, making penetration easier. It also neutralizes the acidic enviroment of the urethra, which could be lethal to sperm, says Sheldon Marks......"
I found that interesting!

Good Morning
I hope you enjoyed the newsletter for June. What happened to Spring? So I am having some interesting insight into my life. I have been getting to know more and more people, not knowing them closely, but knowing them. It is nice to expand your social network. Plus I have been listening to some books about spirituality and things like that and I am really coming to peace with myself. I think working for Athena has helped me go into the right direction.
So I told you I would tell you one of the funny things said at the Sales Meeting - I might not get this exact but it was said - making sales calls is like stimulating the Virgina - the more you do it the more it will come......

Men and Sex
I read this great article the other day that comes to my email. I am surprised at how little men know about Sex. Then again, I am surprised at how little I knew before working at Athena's Home Novelties. What do you think? Do you think men ever read the articles? I know that I have had to educate men in the past...
There is what I read....
Let’s face it: No matter how proficient you think you are, every now and then, you could use a little boost to improve your sex life and satisfy your partner. Try these simple, achievable sex tips with your lover tonight.
1. Talk about sex. As time passes in a relationship, it’s easy to get into a rut and just go through the motions, rather than express what you really want (and need) in bed. Sex therapist Williams Lucena, FMD, says it’s time to break this cycle with some frank talk. “Ask each other, ‘What do I need in bed from you?’” he suggests. “Get back to the communication you used to have.”
2. Eat healthy. This doesn’t sound like a sex tip, but treating your body right with good nutrition helps the whole body, including your libido, says Debbie Mandel, a stress management expert and author of Addicted to Stress. “Eat healthy foods to reduce cholesterol and keep your cardiovascular system humming,” she adds. “This will ensure that circulation is at peak performance for the ‘southern hemisphere.’”
3. Do your household chores. Want to put your wife in the mood for better sex? “Help around the house,” says Mandel. “The best foreplay happens outside the bedroom. By helping with chores and errands, you make them feel valued.”
4. Exercise. Few things will get you ready to satisfy women quite like getting in regular exercise each day, says Matthew N. Simmons, MD, PhD, of the Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute in Cleveland. “Even as little as 15 minutes of exercise daily will improve self-esteem, self-image, and libido,” he says. “Exercise makes the physical aspects of sex more enjoyable. Furthermore, making exercise a habit promotes cardiovascular health, which is necessary for normal erectile function.”
5. But don’t overdo it. Too much exercise can have the opposite effect, says Pete McCall, MS, an exercise physiologist with the American Council on Exercise. “Being in an overtraining state produces general feelings of fatigue and low energy and can disrupt sleep patterns and change mood,” he says. “This is hardly a good combination for wooing a romantic partner.”
6. In fact, work out together. If exercise is good, then exercising with your lover is an even better sex tip, says Mandel. “Working out together ensures that both libidos and endorphins will be up,” she says. “Since you’re both already sweating, take it to the next level. Stretching together is also a good idea.”
7. Abstain a bit. Abstinence as a sex tip? Believe it or not, it’s a surefire way to improve sex and make your next encounter with your lover even more exciting. “Practice abstinence for a couple of days, a weekend, or a week,” says Mandel. “Abstinence does make the heart grow fonder and makes you lust after forbidden fruit.”
8. Plan for sex. It may not sound that romantic, but Dr. Simmons says it’s a great way to improve your sex life and satisfy women. Construct a plan for having sex, he suggests: “Setting aside time or arranging opportunities for sex is very important, especially for busy couples or those with children. Don’t let the frequency of sex dwindle due to fatigue or the inability to find the ‘right time.’”
9. Make use of technology. Want to keep her in the mood for sex later that night while you’re stuck at the office? Use your cell phone or e-mail. “Send her sexy messages throughout the day,” advises Mandel.
10. Compliment her body. Want a foolproof way to drive her wild and ensure better sex? “Find a particular feature, and tell her that she is the best in this class,” says Mandel.
11. Focus on relaxation. Men like to get excited for better sex, but women are more likely to get in the mood through relaxation. “Wash her hair in the shower or massage her scalp to relax her,” says Debbie Mandel, a stress management expert and author of Addicted to Stress. “A woman needs to be relaxed before she is ready to receive.”
12. Foreplay. Regardless of how you get revved up for better sex, Matthew N. Simmons, MD, PhD, of the Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute in Cleveland, suggests not skimping on the foreplay — no matter how long you have been together as a couple. “Foreplay contributes greatly to stronger orgasms and improved sex,” he says. “Gearing up your autonomic nervous system will increase sensitivity, excitement, and strength of orgasm. Your patience and attentiveness will pay dividends.”
13. Think like a woman. Natalie Bencivenga, co-founder, editor, and writer of twodaymag.com, advises thinking like a woman. “To think like a woman in bed, you don’t have to be one,” she says. “Give attention to some of her most neglected areas, like her neck, her feet, her inner thighs. Tease her mercilessly. Make her want it. You will be surprised what a build-up will bring!”
14. Let her take the lead. Men so often take the lead in bed. Sometimes, the key to better sex is letting her be in charge. “Don’t be afraid to let your mate lead,” says Joyce Morley, EdD, a licensed counselor in Decatur, Ga. “Allow your mate to initiate sexual pleasure on occasions, as well as taking the top position.”
15. Don’t overlook lubricant. According to Bencivenga, there’s no shame in using lubricant to satisfy women. “Many guys think that since women get wet, if we aren’t wet, then we aren’t into it,” she says. “That’s not true. Sometimes, whether it’s stress, certain times of the month, or fatigue, women can have a hard time getting physically aroused even when they are mentally in the game. Lubricant in the bedside drawer is your new best friend.”
16. Switch things up. If you’re experiencing a case of the “same-old, same-old,” working on adding a little variety is the key to better sex, says Simmons. “Spice things up by planning and discussing variations on your usual sexual habits,” he explains. “Lingerie, toys, new positions, and other creative additions can enhance intimacy and orgasm.”
17. Change the location. Another way to add variety and improve sex life, suggests Mandel, is to try someplace new. “Do it in different places to experience a different energy,” she says. “Take it outdoors if you are overwhelmed with technology and want to get back your natural rhythm.”
18. Make love instead. Does it feel lately like it’s just sex? “Try making love,” advises Dr. Morley. “You make love with that special someone, but you have sex with anybody.”
19. Use touch even without sex. Even when you’re not having sex, you can still improve your sex life by using touch in an intimate, but not sexual, way. “Touching is important, but doesn’t always mean sex,” says Morley. “It is important to be intimate with your mate by touching her with love and affection on a daily basis. Kiss daily, and don’t be afraid to allow her to reciprocate.”
20. Practice self-care. “Take good care of your penis,” says Dr. Simmons. “Penile injury is usually sustained when your partner is on top or when the penis buckles from missed penetration. If things are getting out of hand, ask your partner to ease up. If you suspect a penile fracture due to a perceived ‘pop’ followed by bruising, see a urologist immediately.”
What do you think? Do you think your male partner knew these things? Do you think there are others that should be added?

Diet Soda
But it's Diet I was thinking - now I have to get this....Thank you Challenge of the day
Re-Think That Diet Drink
Those who drink diet soda every day have a greater risk of stroke. Limit diet beverages to no more than 1 or 2 a week. Try green tea with seltzer and honey instead

Yeast Infections
Banish Frequent Yeast Infections
Unfortunately, yeast infections are a fact of life for most of us — 75 percent of women will experience an infection at one time or another. But persistent yeast infections — defined as four or more a year — make this ordinary nuisance a more serious concern. Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of fungus in the vagina. Anything that changes the delicate balance of chemicals in the vagina, such as going on or off oral contraceptives, taking a new sex partner, becoming pregnant, or general health problems, can cause an infection. Prolonged use of antibiotics is another major risk factor for recurrent yeast infections. Other common causes include a weakened immune system and a poor diet. However, there are things you can do to protect against yeast infections. Cutting down on sugar in your diet may be the best way, and eating yogurt can help restore the balance of good bacteria to your vagina and your entire intestinal track. What should you avoid doing? Some no-no's include douching, using perfumed sprays or soaps, and wearing underwear that is too restrictive or made from synthetic fabrics. Also, receiving oral sex may be a risk factor for women who are especially prone to yeast infections, so use a dental dam (basically a small piece of latex that acts as a barrier) if you know you're one of them.
Luckily, there are effective over-the-counter remedies available to fight yeast infections — but if you've never had a yeast infection before, you should see your doctor first.

Loving Athena's
I love working for Athena's. I had my first party last weekend. Oh, my was it fun and funny. One person wanted to know some very interesting things and we all helped her. It was amazing to see how people are reacting to have talks about sex. I will be sharing little tidbits of information that I have read while I am out and about or reading about sex, etc. Who knew that just talking and learning more about sex could be so fun?
Last night we went out to dinner with Mike's father and partner, we went to Kon's in East Greenwich. It was great. We had a wonderful time. Our waitress (I think her name was Nicky) was wonderful. She has never been to an Athena party so I gave her my card and I hope she will call.
When we were leaving the building there were tons of young women standing by the door. It looked like they had been to a few bars prior to this one. I asked if they were 18 or old and they looked at me like I was insane. "YEAH" Ok then I can give you my card, "woohoo it's an Athena goddess" they all yelled. One yelled, I love the Virgina toys , they were crazy and fun. I hope they call too.
Oh - so much fun and I couldn't do it without my friends and my other Goddess/Adoni friends. They all have been and are supportive. THANK YOU!!! xo
