Here's Your Fall 2021 Watch List For Netflix, Hulu, and Apple TV
Fall is almost here. The weather will soon start cooling and the days will get shorter.
What to do when you just want to veg out on the couch or in bed? Binge-watch great shows are my suggestion. There are so many things to watch for sure. Too many choices almost, but I have six shows I recommend for this fall to keep you entertained as your fall hibernation begins.
My recommendations are See, Nine Perfect Strangers, Clickbait, Only Murders In The Building, and You. The shows can all be found on Apple TV, Hulu, and Netflix. Apple TV and Hulu release new episodes weekly but Netflix allows the full binge experience.
See Season 2
“Far in a dystopian future, the human race has lost the sense of sight, and society has had to find new ways to interact, build, hunt, and to survive. All of that is challenged when a set of twins are born with sight.” - IMBD
There are now two great seasons of See to binge watch. Season 1 introduces us to Baba, his wife, and their sighted twin children. In a world where sight is looked upon as witchcraft and is illegal, Baba will do anything to protect his children.
Season 2 picks up right where season one left off, and that’s with a new enemy for Baba (Jason Momoa), his brother played by Dave Bautista. New episodes are available each Friday on Apple TV.
Nine Perfect Strangers
“Nine stressed city dwellers visit a boutique health-and-wellness resort that promises healing and transformation. The resort's director is a woman on a mission to reinvigorate their tired minds and bodies.” - IMDB
Nine Perfect Strangers is full of recognizable faces and names, which brings some comfort as you try to figure out where this story is trying to take you. I have to admit that after six episodes I still don’t know where this series is going but I don’t mind the journey.
New episodes premiere each Wednesday on Hulu.
Clickbait
When family man Nick Brewer is abducted in a crime with a sinister online twist, those closest to him race to uncover who is behind it and why.” - IMDB
With eight episodes total, Clickbait is completely binge-worthy. I literally binged this show in a day. With Netflix, they drop all episodes at once which is awesome! Each episode is centered around one particular character but with the goal of moving the story forward.
There are some issues with the plot for sure but at the end of the series, I was still happy I watched. And honestly, there are some takeaways and lessons to be learned as well. Clickbait can be viewed now on Netflix.
Only Murders In The Building
“Three strangers who share an obsession with true crime suddenly find themselves caught up in one.” - IMDB
Only Murders In The Building is undeniably quirky and weird, but of course, it would be with Steve Martin and Martin Short, but I am still invested in figuring out the whodunit of it all. There are actually two murders to solve, one from the past and one from the present.
I for one cannot wait to see how it all plays out. New episodes premiere each Wednesday on Hulu.
You Season 3
“A dangerously charming, intensely obsessive young man goes to extreme measures to insert himself into the lives of those he is transfixed by.” - IMBD
The much anticipated season three of “You” premieres on Netflix on October 15th. So if you need a refresher or haven’t watched the previous two seasons, you have time.
Joe and Love are starting a new life together and it’s looking like there is someone new to obsess about. Who is the mystery lady we glimpsed at the end of season two? We shall see. I’m ready for it.
Truth Be Told
“A true-crime podcaster tries to solve the mystery surrounding a family patriarch's death.” - IMDB
Although season one of Truth Be Told premiered a couple of years ago, I only recently watched season one. I was instantly hooked, as I am a fan of true-crime podcasts and can relate to the intrigue they create. True crime stories bring out the sleuth in all of us.
Season 2 of Truth Be Told recently dropped with a new mystery to solve and this one is closer to home for the lead Poppy. New episodes premiere on Thursday on Apple TV.
I think I have given you all some great choices of shows to binge watch across several streaming services. They are not documentaries or going to change the world but they serve their purpose. They entertain. Please give one or all a watch and come back and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
What Do When You Have Fallen Out Of Love With Your Significant Other
You promised forever but your heart is no longer in it. Perhaps you cannot pinpoint the moment you fell out of love with your significant other, or perhaps you actually can, but either way, the feelings are gone and you are torn about what to do.
It may surprise you, but romantic love in relationships can be cyclical. Yep, it’s true. Over the course of a long-term relationship, you may fall in and out of love with your partner, many times. Or you may fall out of love and are never able to get that loving, romantic feeling back.
You have some choices to make if or when you find yourself in this situation.
What To Do When You Have Fallen Out Of Love
Make An Effort To Reconnect
Sometimes we fall out of love because we sort of forget about one another. We get so busy with other things in life like work or children that we forget to nurture one of our most important relationships.
If you notice a lack of connection with your partner, it is important to try to get your relationship and your connection to one another back on track. You can reconnect by talking and listening to one another. Or by doing things together that require conversation and interaction.
So no plopping down on the couch in front of the television. Try going out for a nice dinner or just on a walk together, and build up to a trip with just the two of you. Spending time together will either help make you closer or help you make a decision about ending things.
Become Friends
As I have said many times before, friendship, true friendship is the real foundation of a long-lasting, loving relationship. We trust our friends, we depend on our friends, and we confide in our friends.
It is important to be that safe place for each other. If you were never friends, this may be a good time to explore a friendship with each other and see where that takes you. People in relationships fall in and out of love, but having a friendship with one another can get you through that lull in love.
Self-Reflect
You need to figure out what has changed. Has your partner changed or have you changed? Has your partner committed an unforgivable deal breaker?
Self-reflection is an important tool to use in deciding where do you go from here. Do you no longer want to be married, are you struggling mentally and emotionally, or do you think the relationship has run its course?
You may not like the conclusion you come to after reflecting on how you got to this place, but it knowing the answer will help you move forward, either with your partner or alone.
Relationship Counseling
Counseling can help, especially if you have identified a cause for your change of heart but still want to work things out. Of course, your partner also has to be a willing participant for couple’s counseling to work, but either way, it is worth a shot.
You may also want to consider individual counseling. Counseling just for you will assist with some much-needed self-reflection and will help you process your feelings and emotions about no longer being in love with your partner.
Relationships are work. Some relationships are hard work. And some relationships are not worth the work. At the end of the day, only you can decide if the relationship is worth fighting for. Is it worth the work and effort you need to put in to make things better or do you just want to be done and move on with your life? It’s a difficult decision but and a necessary one if you are no longer in love.
What are your thoughts on handling a relationship when you have fallen out of love? Do you agree with my recommendations? What would you do? Please share your thoughts and experience!
“The way I see it, you mostly stop loving a person the same way you stop respecting them. It can happen all at once if something enormous and terrible falls over the two of you. But for the most part, it happens in inches. In a thousand tiny moments of contempt that unravel the image you had of the person you thought you knew.”
― Sarah Gailey, The Echo Wife
How To Accept What You Cannot Control
One does not need to be a control freak in order to want to control most or all aspects of their life. Unfortunately, the reality is that there are many things in our lives we have no control over.
Accepting the fact that we cannot control certain situations or certain people, especially partners and children, can be challenging for some, to say the least. And frustrating and anxiety-inducing for others.
The easiest outlook to have is to just say “it is what it is” with situations beyond our control but of course that is always easier said than done. While the words may not work there are behaviors you can change that make having a lack of control more bearable.
Ways To Accept What You Can’t Control
Focus On What You Can Control
It is very easy to hyperfocus and stress over situations and people we cannot control. The fact is, we can only control ourselves, and sometimes we may not be able to even control what is happening to our own bodies.
Regardless of what the circumstance or situation is, there will be one element within your control, and that is your response to it. Focus on you. Focus on your mental and physical health which will get you through this challenging time.
Let It Go
As hard as it may be, sometimes the best thing you can do is just let it go. Let that stressful job go. Or let go of that toxic friendship that leaves you feeling like crap. And let go and accept that the man or woman you have been pining after for years will never return your love or love you the way you deserve.
Decompress
Whether it is hitting the gym, going for a run, or meditating, decompressing is key to coping with and accepting circumstances beyond your control.
What are your thoughts on accepting what you can’t control? Do you find it difficult or have you found techniques that work for you? Please share your thoughts and experience!
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” ― Lao Tzu
Self-Love First For A Healthy Relationship
Self-love is about loving yourself, respecting yourself, and putting yourself first. Self-love is a hard concept for many, especially women, and even more so for mothers. Some might think that the concept of putting yourself first is selfish. People have a lot of opinions, myself included.
We spend so much time taking care of our loved ones. Whether you are taking care of your children, spouse, and or aging parents, it can be hard to remember to take care of yourself.
If your goal is to have healthy, loving relationships with others, including romantic ones, you need to start with self-love first. Here are some ways to show yourself and build a mentally and emotionally better you.
Ways To Give Yourself Some Love
Eat Healthily
You don’t have to deprive yourself of all the foods and drinks that you love to enjoy but there is something to be said about moderation. Fried foods and sugary foods and drinks can be addicting but can also make you feel like crap and cause health issues.
When you eat well you feel good.
Visit Your Doctor
Nobody loves going to the doctor. I mean, after all, the “white coat syndrome” exists for a reason. But regular checkups and physicals can literally save your life.
Going in for regular checkups with your doctor is important for preventative care and staying healthy. Prioritizing your health is an act of self-love.
Exercise
Exercise is great for you both mentally and physically. Exercise is not only a great way to stay fit and healthy, it is also a great tool for managing stress, and anxiety, and the everyday pressures put on you.
Exercising creates endorphins, which are feel-good hormones. When we exercise we feel happier and happy people are infectious.
Hang Out With Friends
Time spent with great friends is one of the best ways to spend your free time. Spending time with friends is a great stress reliever. Gives you time to share, vent, laugh, and bond.
Friends also provide you with a great support system and can be a nice distraction from some of the more unpleasant things in your life.
Enjoy “Me” Time
You deserve some “me” time. We all do. Your “me time” can be as busy or as lazy as you want it to be. It can be going on a road trip by yourself, sitting and reading quietly, or going to a salon to get your hair or nails done.
The point of “me time” is that it is about you. The focus is you and what makes you happy or what you find relaxing.
The bottom line Is to be kind to yourself. You deserve it. As the saying goes, “ If you cannot love yourself, how in the hell can you love somebody else.” Being a natural caretaker is wonderful but that should also include taking care of yourself because if you don’t, you will stress out or burn out.
What are your thoughts on self-love? What do you do to take care of yourself. Please share your thoughts and experience!

5 Signs He’s Always Thinking About You
Do you ever just lay in bed or working at your job or maybe just out and about driving and you can’t help thinking about that certain person and wonder if they are thinking about you too? Of course, you do. If they are on your mind and in your thoughts, the hope is that they are being haunted just as much with thoughts of you.
Unfortunately, they may not come out and tell you just how much they think about you and basically miss you, but some of their actions may give away their true feelings.
When we care about someone deeply or are newly falling in love, they tend to be on our minds a lot. They are on our minds when we go to sleep, and immediately in our thoughts when we wake up in the morning. We are always thinking about them in one way or another. Here are the signs that he‘s always thinking about you.
5 Signs He’s Always Thinking About You
He Calls Out of The Blue
You were not expecting to hear from him. He had to work or had other plans but here he is calling you while he is out with his guy pals.
You are on his mind and he can’t stop thinking about you. The remedy is to see you or hear your voice. Something to make him feel closer to you in the moment.
He’s Texting A Lot
Maybe your guy is away at school or on a business trip, or maybe just in the other room, wherever he is at, he is thinking about you and just wants to connect. So he texts.
He may send texts here or there or long chains of loving words and just small talk. It doesn’t matter what you two talk about, he just wants you on the other end of his texts. He is missing you and needs his fix.
He’s On Your Social Media
When he is thinking of you and missing you he may be glued to your social media when you two are apart. He may send you cute little messages and memes, and he will always be the first to like a new pic or comment of yours.
You may also find that he tends to go through your old post and like pics from the past too.
He Admits It
His intent may not be to say you’re always on his mind but when he tells how something reminded him of you when he was out and about or says he thought about you because a song came on the radio is all telling enough. He is saying you are always there, on his mind.
Or he may just be willing to be vulnerable and romantic and tell you how much he misses you when apart and how much you are on his mind.
He’s Buying Thoughtful Or Random Gifts
Gifts are always nice and appreciated but you were not expecting anything from your guy. But when he saw the candle, or necklace, or a cute little stuffed animal he couldn’t help but think of you so he bought it.
The fact that he is not declaring his undying love for you does not mean he is not falling for you or already in love. Signs are always there when it comes to how a man really feels, good or bad. Not every thought or feeling needs to be said, and the fact that they are not being said does not make a budding romance or love any less real.
Of course, as a relationship progresses there should be no guessing games. But in the early stages, it’s nice the be able to recognize the signs that he’s always thinking about you, which means he has developed feelings for you.
What are your thoughts on the signs he’s always thinking about you? Do you agree with the signs? Do you patiently wait for him to confess his real feelings? Please share your thoughts and experience!

The Benefits of Collagen Supplements and Why I Love Them
Have you ever discovered something new and asked yourself how it was that you never knew about it before? That is how I felt when I first found out about the benefits of boosting collagen levels and collagen supplements, The purpose of this blog is to share how I have personally benefited from increasing my collagen levels and why I am now recommending it to you.
Collagen is a protein in our body. The collagen in your body helps maintain your bones, muscles, tendons, skin, and ligaments. Many consider collagen to be the glue in our bodies. Unfortunately, as we age, our bodies produce less collagen and our natural collagen levels decrease.
If you are looking for ways to reduce joint pain, grow your hair longer, and smooth out those fine lines on your face, you may want to give collagen supplements a try.
The Benefits Of Collagen Supplements
Joint Pain
Collagen is bountiful in the body, but as levels decrease as you age you may start to notice more joint aches and pains. As someone who has had multiple knee injuries and suffers from chronic knee pain, I noticed a significant reduction in pain in my knees and back when exercising and going up and down the stairs,
Skin
Collagen is a beauty secret for many women. Collagen supplements definitely benefit the skin but the changes are subtle at first so you really have to be looking to notice. Over time you will notice more supple, plump skin which will reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Collagen has helped give me a more youthful appearance and glow.
Hair and Nails
If you are struggling with brittle nails or dull hair that doesn’t seem to grow very fast collagen supplements may help you. Just a short time after increasing your collagen levels by supplements or food you will start to see the faster hair growth and longer, stronger nails.
How To Increase Your Collagens Level
There are several ways to increase your collagen levels. The first method, which is the preferred method is to just eat collagen-rich foods. Obviously, this is easier said than done for many, but not impossible if you make collagen-rich foods a priority in your diet.
Collagen Rich Foods
Collagen-rich foods include proteins, fruits, and veggies. But my number one got collagen-rich food is bone broth. You can buy bone broth, or make your own. I make my own bone broth and keep it in freezer-safe containers until ready to use when I want soup or as a flavorful addition to a sauce.
Other foods that include high collagen levels include citrus, berries, eggs, tomatoes, chicken, beans, and of course leafy greens. Replace a meal with a nice green salad with some fruit or beans and tomatoes on top, and wash it down with some citrus-infused water and you are well on your way to increasing your collagen intake and levels.
Collagen Powder
Collagen powder is a great way to increase your collagen levels and see great results in a short period of time. You can get collagen powders that are completely tasteless and you can add to your water, smoothies, or even food. I usually add a scoop to my morning coffee because I find that the powder dissolves much better in hot drinks than cold.
One downside with the powder, besides it not dissolving well, is that you may miss out on some of the collagen if you do not completely finish your beverage. I am currently using Vital Protein collagen and have seen great results.
Collagen Capsules
Collagen capsules work just as great as the powder but it comes down to a matter of preference. With collagen captures you will usually need to take at least six horse-sized pills daily to get your appropriate collagen dose and see results. But the good thing is that you will see results. My preferred brand for collagen capsules is Youth Theory.
Besides having to deal with the large capsules, collagen supplements may cause some gastrointestinal distress as you get used to taking them.
As I have aged and done lots of research on beauty and aging gracefully, I have learned the collagen was the best thing I never knew I needed. I recommend collagen supplements to family and friends because they work, but you will have to decide which brand works best for you. Whichever brand you choose, I recommend you give it at least 90 days to see results.
What are your thoughts on collagen supplements? If you take collagen supplements, do you prefer powder or capsules? Please share your results!
Here's Why Love Alone Isn’t Enough
Relationships will always have ups and downs and challenges over the years, but can love conquer all?
You can love your partner deeply and still be miserable in your relationship because your mental, emotional, or sexual needs are not being met.
You can love someone deeply but still choose not to be with them because sometimes love just isn’t enough. When elements are missing from your relationship, despite your love, you know it’s not going to work, and that it may be time to move on.
Reasons Why Love Isn’t Enough
Trust
It is very hard to continue on in a relationship once trust is lost. Trust is everything in a committed relationship, and without it you really have nothing. Unfortunately, your love will not make a cheating partner more faithful or honest. They are who they are and will only be true and trustworthy if it’s in their character.
Yes, people make mistakes, and sometimes forgiveness is warranted. Trust can be regained but it is a slow process, and much like a fractured bone it is forever fragile.
Communication
Poor communication is the cause of most fights and unhappiness in many relationships. Having a partner who is able to communicate their feelings, wants, and desires is extremely important. Just as important is a partner who is able to listen and receive what their partner is communicating to them.
Attraction
Call it shallow, but the reality is people want to feel attracted to their partner. Are looks the most important thing in a relationship? Of course not, but losing attraction for your partner, or even worse, feeling repulsed by them can mean the end of your happy union.
Commitment
Love is just a word without action behind it. A commitment is an obligation. A relationship commitment is an obligation of choice. We choose to be with that one person and we choose them again and again.
The problem is that sometimes the commitment feels like a burden, which is a sign that something is not working.
Determination
Once you are knee-deep into a relationship, with the honeymoon phase over, you have to want it to work to keep it going.
Relationships can be challenging, even hard at times. If you love someone and you want your relationship to work you have to be determined for that to happen.
Love alone will never be enough to sustain a healthy relationship when all or most of the key elements are missing. The important word being healthy. And remember that love will not make him change, and love does not hit, or use, or abuse. Love yourself first.
What are your thoughts on love alone being enough to keep going in a relationship when all the other elements appear to be missing? Please share your thoughts and experience!

8 Signs He’s Crazy About You
Being in love is a wonderful feeling but when you are truly loved by that special someone there is something just magical about it. Crazy in love makes you feel, well a little crazy, but in the best way possible. And having that love returned by your crush or the guy you love makes you feel all gooey inside.
Sometimes you can be dating a guy or in a relationship and it feels like he is just going through the motions. Other times you can feel completely and totally loved even though the words may not have been spoken. If you are trying to figure out if he is as crazy about you as you are about him there are signs to look for.
8 Signs He’s Crazy About You
He Can’t Stay Away
When a man is crazy about you he cannot stay away for very long. He wants to see you, every day. He misses you when apart and if he can’t see you face to face he will want to FaceTime with you, talk on the phone, or just text with you. Anything to be near, talk to, or to see the face of the woman he’s crazy about.
Needs To Connect With You
A guy who is crazy about you will want to continually connect with you in some way. Whether it’s a physical connection and in person, or just a phone call or text, he desperately craves interaction with his love. His desire to connect is also about the mental, intellectual, and emotional connections you two have created.
Wants To Touch You
When a guy is crazy about you he will want to touch you a lot, and the touching will not be just about sex. When together he cannot keep himself from just kissing you or holding your hand, or just touching your hair. He wants to physically connect with you and express his feelings through touch. He would also love for these actions to be reciprocated.
He Can’t Stop Talking About You
A guy who is crazy about you will talk about you constantly without him even realizing it is happening. Your name comes out of his mouth constantly. He’s not doing it on purpose but he cannot help himself.
You are always on his mind. Plus he just likes talking about you and saying your name. Others tend to notice how frequently he mentions you.
He’s Willing To Change For You
None of us are perfect and a guy who is crazy about you may recognize he has some work to do if he wants to be with you. There could be some things about him that don’t necessarily mesh well with you and out of care for you, he is willing to change some behaviors or at least compromise to meet you halfway.
He’s Tolerating Your Crazy
When crazy about someone we tend to give them a pass on behaviors that we would find annoying or dealbreakers in others. You are far from perfect. You can be indecisive, moody, and you also snore, but he doesn’t care because he is crazy about you and loves you for you.
He Tells You
A guy who is crazy about you will have a hard time keeping his feelings to himself for long. A man who is serious about a future with you will never make you question where you stand with him. A guy who is crazy about you and in love with you will tell you his feelings because he doesn’t want to risk losing you.
You Just Know It
A man’s body language and actions will tell you everything you need to know about how he truly feels about you. The way he looks at you says it all. His eyes will show the depth of his feelings, as will his behavior. A man who is crazy about you will be consistent in his courtship and treatment of you.
When a man is crazy about you, he will be willing to be vulnerable and all in. He knows that letting you know how much you mean to him may give you the upper hand, but he won’t care because you are not a game to him. He cares about you and being with you, and expressing his feelings for you will start a new chapter in your relationship.
So while you will be able to tell how he feels about you, he won’t keep you waiting on confirmation.
What are your thoughts on the signs of a man crazy about you? Do you agree with the signs? How do you tell if a guy is crazy about you? Please share your advice or experience!

Rekindling A Romance...Should You Fan Old Flames?
Life and love have lots of ups and downs and tend to leave many people wanting a do-over. If the Hallmark channel has taught me anything, it is that returning home and high school reunions are for rekindling old love and romance.
If you could go back and do it all over again, would you? Some old flames needed to be put out, but others burned so hotly that years later the embers still smoldered. There are pros and cons to rekindling an old love. As time has passed, you may be remembering more of the good and forgetting a lot of the bad.
If you are considering reigniting an old flame, here are the pros and cons to consider.
Pros Of Reigniting An Old Flame
It’s Familiar
No matter how much time passes, you never forget your first love. Coming back together years later may feel like coming home. The relationship feels familiar and comfortable, and comforting in many ways. You came back together and it was like you were never apart.
It’s Feels Good
Somehow the rekindling of an old flame takes you back in time and makes you feel all giddy and silly again. The excitement and passion are crazy. You have been transported back to being that gushy twenty-something girl who doodled his name over and over again.
You’re Both Different
Whether it has been ten years or twenty-five years, you have both grown and changed. The relationship ended for a reason in the past, but people can change, and perhaps the obstacles faced before are no longer an issue.
Cons Of Reigniting An Old Flame
Both The Same
While some things change, other things also stay the same. Yes, you are both older and hopefully wiser, but you are basically still the same people. Perhaps once you get past the newness of your old relationship, old issues and problems will resurface.
Your Lives Don’t Mesh
You may have reconnected at a reunion or on Facebook, but you live thousands of miles apart and your lives don’t fit together. You both have responsibilities and neither are capable nor willing to just pick up and leave your current life to chase a possibility.
Unrealistic Expectations
While you were once the hot “it” couple, neither of you was perfect, but you may be remembering things differently. You may be disappointed to find that you no longer share the same interests, that they are not as attractive as they used to be, and you may not actually be compatible anymore.
At the end of the day, I think many of us would love a do-over with a lost love. Whether you choose to give it a go should depend on why it ended the first time and if the current man or woman before you seems worthy of a second chance. If they have a history of abuse of any kind I say absolutely do not let them back in your life but otherwise, I recommend going for it. If your heart is open and you are available, what do you really have to lose?
What are your thoughts on rekindling an old flame? Romantic or ripe for disaster? Please share your thoughts and experience!
Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they’re trying to find someone who’s going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take. - Pietro Aretino
7 Fascinating Facts About Orgasms
I am very much aware that this is taboo and perhaps a very uncomfortable topic for some, although I don’t think that it should be. But let’s be honest, it’s also an interesting and fascinating topic too, which is why you are reading this blog.
Clearly many people are having orgasms since the world continues to be populated. But say the word orgasm out loud and we get all shy and embarrassed. Of course, orgasm talk isn’t for the church, work, or the family dinner table, but it is definitely something adults should be able to comfortably discuss with their partners and in the bedroom.
Orgasms are wonderful and maybe if people were having more of them there would be a lot more smiles on people’s faces and joy in their hearts. And on that note, here are some interesting facts about orgasms.
Fascinating About Orgasm Facts
Most Women Need More Than Just Intercourse To Orgasm
Oral or digital stimulation of the clitoris is helpful and needed in most sexual interactions for a woman to orgasm. If a man properly stimulates a woman prior to penetration, she will be more likely to orgasm. Know that the stimulation can also consist of mental arousal with fantasy, dirty talk, and sex play.
The bottom line though is if there is no foreplay before intercourse, she will not likely orgasm and if it does seem like she is always having orgasms without it she is probably faking it. Just saying.
The Clitoris Is A Pleasure Center
While women can and do have vaginal orgasms, the clitoris is definitely a woman’s sexual hot button. The clitoris is estimated to have over six thousand nerve endings, which is very sensitive and a key component when it comes to her sexual arousal.
Orgasms Have Many Prompts
Orgasms can be brought on by not only intercourse, but also by physical touches such as a massage, and mental stimulation. You can also orgasm from deep relaxation, pressure to the right spot and orgasms can even be prompted by tension in the body
Men Orgasm Faster Than Women
Not sure if this fact comes as a surprise to anyone, but I do think it’s worth noting. Hence the importance of foreplay. It typically takes a woman longer to orgasm than it does a man, so providing her an orgasm during foreplay or priming her body before penetration is very important to her ultimate pleasure and climax.
One-Third Of Men Are Pre Ejaculator
This does not mean that a man is done when he pre ejaculates, but there will be some sperm released during his erection and excitement. So just a tip, if you are trying to avoid pregnancy, a condom and or a form of birth control is recommended.
Orgasm Are Great Migraine Relievers
Not sure if it’s the fact that your body is flooded with endorphins, but over sixty percent of migraine sufferers reported some or complete migraine relief after experiencing an orgasm.
Multiple Orgasms Are A Thing
Multiple orgasms are orgasms that occur in close proximity to one another. Both men and women can experience multiple orgasms from intercourse, but the ability for this to happen will vary from person to person.
Orgasms can last up to two minutes and if have you the good fortune of being above-average in this category, I salute you for being able to get anything else done. The right orgasm with the right person can give you an out-of-body experience and literally make you feel like you are floating.
They say the best orgasm are the ones you really wanted. The one you really craved. Maybe your wedding night, or your first time with the man or woman you desired for so long. I say the best orgasms come from being with someone you have an intense attraction for and chemistry with.

“The difference between a self-induced orgasm and an orgasm given by a man is like comparing a rainy day and a rainstorm. Rain was a sure thing, you knew exactly what you were going to get: a clean and crisp, both sweet and refreshing experience. But rainstorms were unpredictable, they were riddled with surprises, messy and wet; they were something you had no control over.” - Madeline Sheehan
