Well hello! How have you been? It’s been busy as usual over here at Coach Sappho.
- Looking on the bright side this week I’d like to congratulate the State of Maine, who became the 16th state to add sexual orientation and gender identity to a Maine law that bars discrimination in employment, housing, credit, public accomodations and education.
- How’s your love life? If you’ve ever been in a relationship over a year, you know things tend to “cool down.” But, is it inevitable that they “cool off?” I’ll never forget what the psychology professor I took a Human Sexuality class with in college said:
Did you know that your biggest sex organ is between your ears!?!
Yes, indeed, is she nuts, now, just what did she mean? That imagination, mystery and creativity are sexy turn ons! So, don’t let your brain cells go limp when it comes to sex and intimacy, even if you are not in a relationship (catch my drift!). 
Hate to break it to you but love isn’t all wine, roses and, for some of us, chocolates! We have to add a dash of brain food in there too once in awhile.
Make time for sensuality in your life, you deserve it (and it’s no doubt great for stress reduction!). Stimulate your dendrites and they will give you a tingle!
And, if you’re looking for suggestions to jump start your brain, here’s a couple of my favorite books/tapes on the subject:
Hot Monogamy by Pat Love, EdD (book) (audiotape) – excellent ideas delivered in an often humorous manner. I just love Pat Love!!!
The Whole Lesbian Sex Book by Felice Newman – full of education and information
Or, here’s a simple suggestion that goes the distance: each of you should make a list of activities you’ve gotten away from doing that you enjoy or that you’ve fantasized about or want to try. Then, be sure to do one of those activities at least once a week, alternating back and forth. And, again, if you are a single slinger, make a list and treat yourself.
