Here's some quick info about me. I'm 41, married for 10 years with a 4-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. My libido is generally high to begin with and I've never had trouble having clitoral orgasms. I became interested in the book because I wanted to see if I could make a good thing better and I was very interested in seeing if I could have vaginal orgasms, which I've never had and possibly even have multiple orgasms. Well, I've been on the full dose of fish oil for two weeks now and have noticed a change in my mood for the better and an increase in libido and desire. My skin has always been oily and is more so now and I have to make sure I wash it before going to bed or start to break out. That's a small price to pay though. I also started with gyneflex exercises. Even though I've had 2 kids, they were both unplanned c-sections so I was able to start out on the #4 gyneflex. This is where it got interesting for me. While using it, I notice a sort of tingling way up inside my vagina and I start to get turned on. This is so encouraging for me because I'm thinking it means if I keep up with this, a vaginal O is within reach. I've also noticed the cul-de-sac area is way more sensitive now. During oral sex one night, my husband was simultaneously stimulating my cul-de-sac and I'm surprised I didn't wake the kids up with all the noise I made! I did get a little side-tracked last week. My mom needed surgery and I was very stressed about that and had to be out of town for a couple of days. Then I developed a yeast infection and now my period has arrived. Today, we were at a birthday party and I was bored and just started doing some kegels and felt the tingling and arousal. I am so getting back into the routine with that gyneflex this week! This is so exciting for me! Thank-you Marrena for sharing your discovery.
Thank you so much for your feedback! It does sound very likely that you are close to acquiring vaginal orgasmic ability. Can you close the #4? That's typically the level where women on my diet can gain the ability.
I found out about your diet on the Colboards and I've never thought you were "weird" at all. Then again I'm 41 and have been around the block several times and a lot of the people over there are still in their 20s. I'm votequimby over there in case you hadn't figured that out.
Thanks for the video links! I so want to be that coffee cup! I'd also never seen your redux of Dancing Muchachos. Excellent!
It's ok. I don't mind being "outed". LOL! I actually suggested to someone there that they should buy your book for their wife. He said he didn't think she'd even read it so he didn't see the point. Poor guy.
Well I seem to have hit a slump. I know this happens but it's still frustrating. For the past week or so I have not felt attractive or terribly sexual. I think it's mostly due to eating too much junk and stress. I'm a stay at home mom with 2 kids under the age of 5. My husband and I have also been having some problems. We had a blow-up on Sunday that we still haven't had a chance to sit down and talk out. Anyone else ever wonder if this whole marriage thing is really worth all the trouble? I do love my husband, but sometimes...... And then that heartless b**ch Aunt Flo arrived a day early so now I just physically feel like crap. I did increase my DHA dose so I'm hoping by this time next week I'll be feeling more back to normal. I've been using my gyneflex 3 times a week for 20 mins a session. I still haven't had a vaginal orgasm but I'm hopeful it will happen eventually. I do have clitoral orgasms easily and even have them during intercourse (only when he's on top though and only one) so I suppose I shouldn't complain too much. I'm still hoping for those vaginal Os and maybe even multiple Os. That would rock! So thanks for reading my vent if you've made it this far.
That's rough! I know how it is. Being around little kids all day can make you full totally unsexual.
As long as he respects you and cares for you, marriage is worth it (especially with little ones around). I say stick it out, every couple has their ups and downs.
Any chance of maybe some babysitting for a break? It can do wonders for mental outlook.
Also, of course my diet just handles the physical side of things, of course relationship issues still do have an effect. They do with men too. I think my diet just evens out the proportion more so that relationship issues have about the same weight for women as they do for men.
Vaginal orgasms can take some months. You have to get the requisite tone (although it sounds like you started out there), and then there's a process of waking the vagina up. Be patient with it and enjoy the journey.
Thanks Marrena! Yes, he respects me and cares for me and it is worth sticking it out. We've been together a long time and will most likely work this out too. We have some babysitting. His mother will babysit pretty much any time we ask and we are WAY overdue for a night out alone. What we really need is a weekend away but his mother won't take them for the weekend yet and we don't have anyone else right now who could. So yeah, exhaustion and hormones and stress all rolled into one! I know if I stick with the gyneflex I'll most likely get where I want to be. I've only been at this for about 6-8 weeks. I can't remember exactly when I started. I know I can't expect everything to be perfect and I truly am enjoying the journey. I think what I really needed was just to vent some steam. I feel better already!
Even a mother's helper might help, a friendly tween looking to make some extra money. It's the constant body contact and whining for attention--sometimes then when the husband comes home it feels like he's just the last in line. If she's there when you are and can take the brunt, it can help.
Hmmm. That's an idea. I'll have to look around the neighborhood. My next door neighbor, and good friend, is being laid off at the end of next month and is just going to take the summer off and has offered to take the kids off my hands for a few hours here and there if I need it. I will definitely be taking her up on that offer! My son and hers are best buds so it's a good situation.
I'm starting to feel better now. I'm getting those tingles back and things are better with the husband. I realize I also need to try to get more time for myself. I do work on Saturdays where I get to be around adults and use my brain but I'm a veterinary technician so I'm on my feet the whole shift and wrestling animals. I'm usually pretty beat when I get home. I'll be looking for a mother's helper and taking my neighbor up on her offer to babysit. I love my kids more than life itself but I do need a break now and then.
Stupid $%^$#*& hormones! For the past few days I've been in a slump again. Feeling ugly, stupid, tired and generally bitchy as hell. It's hormones! I realized I was at the same point in my cycle as I was last month when I felt like this. I've been having short cycles for the past several months, 23-24 days. I'm glad the little lightbulb went off in my head because I know it will pass in a few more days and I'll be feeling like a normal, rational person again. Well, rational for me anyway. I need to remember to not watch the news when I'm like this. Burma, the tornadoes in the US and now the earthquake in China. It's very sad and just contributes to my general uneasiness about the world. To put it in very simple terms, I'm feeling a lot of bad vibes right now.
On a lighter note, I did have something interesting happen during sex the other night. It was definitely a C-O but there was something else going on too. A different sensation and it felt really, really good. I don't think it was a full-blown V-O but it may have been the beginnings of one. It was very encouraging!
Oh, by the way Marrena, I hope you have a really great time tomorrow!
