Inspired by Teyana Taylor’s hypnotizing feature in Kanye West’s “Fade” video, I want to chat with you about leveling up your sexy. Whether you’re single, taken,  divorced or on the prowl – everyone deserves to feel their best. Here are 5 easy ways to do it now.

**Note: I’ve included a few affiliate links to help with your sexy experience **

1. Get Glammed.

Even if you’re like me and aren’t into makeup, it’s undeniable that a “beat face” draws enamored gazes. Head to your local mall makeup counter (or call your favorite MUA) and let them have their way with you. Whether you’re in sweats or a dress, enjoy the stolen glances as you walk throughout the day. Feels nice,  right?

 

PS – wash your face before you go.

2. Put on a sexy piece of underwear.

This tip is often underrated when it comes to ways you can help yourself get sexier. The power of feeling intimate when no one can see is amazing and deserves our attention. Pull on a sexy bra while running out for coffee, wear garters under your office skirt or add some lacey panties with your favorite pair of jeans.  Watching Teyana dance in those workout undies definitely can inspire sensuality. You deserve to feel delicate and strong simultaneously.

3. Try a pole dancing class.

 

Pole dancing may still be taboo, but it’s a great way to get sexier now. Not only does it provide a comfortable atmosphere to express your sexy self – it’s an actual workout! Enjoy the strengthening of your core while bringing out the inner vixen you know is hiding inside.

 

If you’re more of the private type,  get your own pole and host a pole party at home.

4. Watch some sexy videos.

No, you don’t have to watch porn to enjoy sexy videos (but, you totally can). Watching a little (or a lot of) gyrating can help stimulate arousal in the mind. Not only can it help you get in the mood, you may find some empowerment in the strength of a fellow sexy woman.

Need some inspiration? Try these videos:

Ciara – Ride

Beyonce – Dance for You

Mya – It’s All About Me

Aaliyah –  Rock the Boat

5. Go Jogging. 

 

Get Sexier Now

 

Exercise releases endorphins – hormones that make your brain and body feel good. Taking a quick jog or brisk walk can help you work up a sweat and the urge to work up another sweat. Even if you’re not in the mood for sex, burning calories is always a good feel-good method. Losing bloat from water retention is a quick way to get sexier now, and you can do it almost any time of the day.

How Misogyny Can Get You Killed (No Matter Who You Are)

How Misogyny Can Get You Killed (No Matter Who You Are)

Honestly, I had a whole different post set up for today. It was all about feeling sexy and self-care. This weekend’s events and the death of Tiarah Poyau have completely changed my tune. I read her story over and over and realized I could have been her at multiple points in my life. I suppose this musing is about self-care in a way, because there’s a very strong lesson for us women and men to learn about Misogyny.

Misogyny
Misogyny (mi·sog·y·ny)- dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women.

 

As everyone knows, I’m a born and raised New Yorker. I spent my high school summers in the streets of NYC and gathered my homegirls annually to attend the Labor Day festivities on Eastern Parkway. We’d plan our outfits the week before, and I’d usually have a Dominican or Jamaican flag donned up into some sort of shirt contraption. My mother would always tell us to be safe and aware while on the road. At that age, I didn’t even consider predators or creeps being there – I just wanted to have a good time with my friends.

Beyond the occasional cat call, I can’t say I had any wild experiences out there. We were warned to stay away from the shadowed areas of the parkway, despite the fact that a group of us were walking in broad daylight. Deviants didn’t care about sunshine, all they needed was the cloak of shade. Nevertheless, I survived Eastern Parkway unscathed, and had a great time dancing and eating and singing with the masses.

Fast forward to 2005, and I migrated from the “Mother Country” of New York to Sunny South Florida. I landed a job at a swanky retail spot that was always teeming with creepy men (and sometimes women). I’d get approached almost daily by a wealthy regular or two who wanted to proposition their role as my sugar daddy. Each day was sprinkled with “I can take you outta here,” or “what if your tuition was paid in full this semester?” I’d laugh it off and politely decline. Even though I carried weaponry for the late night walks to my car (I’m still a New Yorker, after all), I still felt relatively safe.

It wasn’t until a year later, when this old man made a quiet advance at me that I started to feel concerned. I declined politely, reminded him that I was at work. He then began creeping through the aisles, watching me through the shelving spaces. This happened so frequently, I had to tell my manager. Immediately after the first instance, I drove to the local flea market and bought myself a taser. Violating store policy and all, I kept that thing in my apron every day. That same taser nearly saved my life one night, as a man tried to “holla” at me through my car window. When I declined, he asked for money, when I declined that – he stuck his body through my window. I set my taser to “stun,” and he scurried off into the shadows like vermin. Lord knows what he was about to try and do.

I tried venturing into Miami’s scene for Labor Day festivities, feeling like I’d try something new with my friends. Similar to New York, men and women flood the streets for music, dancing and drinking. While walking to my car to head home, we stepped through a mixed crowd of men. I felt a firm hand jam itself between my legs and squeeze my crotch. I yanked the arm as hard as I could, and the male it was attached to growled with anger. Instead of saying anything to me, he smelled his hand, smiled and kept walking.

Disgusting.

Misogyny
Stay away from the shadows…

Another story – fast forward a few more years, I’m out with my family for a cousin’s birthday celebration. We picked a night club that appealed to an older crowd, in hopes of having a mature time. We were almost in the clear, until an older male approached my cousin to dance. She ignored him and kept dancing with our group. He returned and made another attempt, then a third. After the fourth time, I intervened and politely stepped in between them. I’ve dealt with drunk men before and figured this would be easy. I smiled, put my hands on the probably drunk male and shook my head to indicate that she wasn’t interested. He forcefully grabbed my wrist, and I pulled it away with equal force. Do you know what he did next?

He struck me in my face.

What. The. F*ck.

The rage that consumed me was immeasurable. I came back with the strongest uppercut I could muster, and hit him with all my might. A scuffle ensued (yes, he continued to fight me), and the police ultimately escorted him out of the venue. They were nice enough to allow me to put on my shoes (I was really going in) – and even gave me the option to stay. The night was ruined, so we decided to go home – but not before I got one last hit in. He deserved it. The officers agreed.

 

Misogyny (and rape culture) is a thing. It’s a thing because society has grown a callous over its feelings towards women. Furthermore, women of color are barely a microcosm in this testosterone-addled universe. [tweetthis twitter_handles=”@kimilevadge” hidden_hashtags=”#Misogyny #SayHerName”] We’re degraded at home, abused in the streets and mistreated in the workplace.[/tweetthis] How discouraging are the feelings of danger that young women experience when they merely want to enjoy themselves? When they merely want to exist? Since when is it acceptable to violate anyone’s personal space, much less a woman you don’t know? I felt disgusted and disgusting in each of these instances, and there are countless more that I won’t bore you with. At any given time, one of these men could have pulled out a gun and killed me – all because I wasn’t interested.

Seems like there’s something about rejection (no matter how gentle or polite) that can trigger violent anger in the weakest of the male species.  The deflation of their ego in front of peers is something that some males just cannot accept. It’s pitifully sad to witness in person, and disgusting to see via social media. [tweetthis twitter_handles=”@kimilevadge” remove_url=”true”]Memes and Worldstar have fueled fires of hate in the hearts of those who pine for bad bitches and long to be loved.[/tweetthis] All the while, males all over the world are realizing they’re doomed to be without both. This is a constant psychological battle for some, one that I don’t have time to become a punching bag or target for.

I’ve had times where I thought to myself, “self – what is the right way to decline?” How do we peacefully and amicably agree to disagree about a person’s decision to want us? Do we need hostage negotiators each time we want to say no to someone?

No. 

Maybe it’s time for us to fix this misogyny bull. For friends to stop their “friends” from hassling women as they mind their business. Time for fathers to teach their sons that women aren’t just commodities to acquire like Monopoly game pieces. Mothers need to instill self-worth and confidence in their sons – so that our daughters can coexist with them. I left out the ethnicities of the men in my stories, because it doesn’t matter who you are. Whether you’re Black, Latino, White, Asian or anyone in between – you can learn how to respect the humans that inhabit the earth with you.

In conclusion, as a rape survivor, I shouldn’t have to worry about being attacked again when I walk the streets. [tweetthis twitter_handles=”@kimilevadge” hidden_hashtags=”#Misogyny #SayHerName”]Men shouldn’t be the things of nightmares when describing them to our daughters.[/tweetthis] [tweetthis twitter_handles=”@kimilevadge” remove_url=”true”]Every male has at least one female loved one. Think about her the next time you decide to be a creep.[/tweetthis]

I haven’t figured out what I’m going to do to take my stand against this ridiculous trend – but I’ll be racking my brain until I do. Come join me at kimi@vforvadge.com

Stay safe, my friends.

Get Your Sexy Back With the 5 Day Fast Diet

Sexual and physical wellness go hand in hand, right? It’s no wonder that many people feel their sex lives take a hit when they’ve been eating poorly and skipping exercise. The body requires proper nutrients and a good metabolism to work at full potential, and your sex organs are included. It’s not always easy to maintain a perfect dietary or fitness regimen, but what if there were a way to kick it back into gear?

 

5 Day Fast Diet
Unboxing the 5 Day Fast Diet

 

I have had the chance to try Weight Loss Buddy’s “5 Day Fast Diet” this week, and it was surprisingly not torture. The diet tricks your body into fasting through small snacks and metabolism – boosting drinks.

**Note: I was not paid for this review, but I did receive the 5 Day Fast Diet kit in exchange for my honest feedback. I’m never scared to give that to you. **

5 Day Fast Diet

 

About the 5 Day Fast Diet (via the5dayfastdiet.com): 

  • “The 5-Day FAST Diet is a pre- measured, pre-calculated 5-day eating plan delivered to your door. You don’t have to make long term plans for what days you want to be on or off, you don’t have to bring out a scale to measure portions, you don’t even have to count calories by reading the backs of food boxes. Delicious food and teas are supplied in sealed packages, one for each day.”‘

5 Day Fast Diet

On Day 1, I was a bit nervous because I’ve fasted before. The relief was that I actually got to eat this time around. It was awesome to be able to have a small snack and drink as much tea as I wanted.

 

5 Day Fast DIet
Skinny Pop – yum.

 

Coupling the fast diet with exercise, I felt more energized in more aspects than one. It was great to make it through the entire work day without the afternoon slump.

5 Day Fast Diet

After the 5th day, I had lost about 6 pounds. I felt lighter, and my stomach was flatter than when I started. The key with this diet is to stay hydrated, so the teas that were included came in very handy.  Overall, I’d do it again, and I’m looking forward to this month’s 5 Day Fast Diet.

 

Would you try a diet plan like this?

The Shave Combo Your Bikini Line Needs Right Now

 

 

Note: While this post may be sponsored by PrivateRX, the opinions and tips are 100% mine. You’re welcome!

Summer is in full effect, and many of us are out on vacations, staycations or in our home pools. If you’re like any of the millions who shave their bikini line, you know the dread that can come with it. Razor bumps, irritation, hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) – who really has time for that?

I honestly prefer to wax, but when I’m short on time – I am not afraid to shave. I’ve mastered this art at home, and have built my own strategy through trial and error that has yet to fail me. I love giving away life hacks, so I’m ready to share it with you. Here are a few tips to keep your summer bikini line sexy…

 

 

– Cleanse.

No one should EVER shave dirty skin. Not only does it dull and dirty your blade/shaver, but it leaves your skin vulnerable to infection. Considering that the bikini line leads to one of our most precious organs – I think we should be taking special care. Not only should you clean your shaver with rubbing alcohol or Barbicide, you should clean yourself.

 

Bikini Line

 

The Nectar cleanser is all natural and contains the anti-bacterial properties of raw honey. Not only does this help soothe your skin, but it helps avoid infection, should you accidentally nick yourself. Ancient clay absorbs oils and sweat, while castile soap and essential oils gently clean the skin.

Now that your special place is feeling squeaky clean, time to get started.

 

– Shave.

Make sure that your razor or shaver is clean before every use.  I really enjoy using my Norelco shaver, because it gets really close without ever cutting the skin. When I say close, I mean labia close.

 

Bikini Line
Philips Norelco Multigroom

I’m not an expert with the shape game, but I like to leave a little strip at the top. Do what you wish at this point.

 

– Exfoliate.

This part is important, because shaving doesn’t remove hair from the follicles. If you miss a hair or two, you’re at risk for ingrown hairs and irritation. Exfoliating works those potential missed hairs out of the skin, and allows the hairs to lay on top of the skin instead.

Try a gentle exfoliant, like our Honey Love masque. Not only does it exfoliate using sugars and spices, the raw honey is antibacterial. Perfect for after shave care. Rinse in the shower and pat dry.

 

Soothe.

There are few things worse than an itchy, irritated crotch area. When the genital region is irritated, it stops being a vagina and starts being a crotch. Just, crude and unhappy. Using a soothing serum after shaving or waxing gives your body time to re-grow hair without agitating your entire bikini line and sex life.

Bikini Line

 

The PrivateRx Soothing Serum is an intense super-moisturizing aftercare product to help prevent ingrown hair and irritation caused by shaving or waxing. Couple this with their Cooling Wipes, and you’ve got a cool breeze down there. I especially enjoy going commando after using this duo – it’s a real summer treat.

Beach Getaways – San Juan, Puerto Rico

If you’re looking for a “Baecation” beach getaway that won’t break the bank, San Juan Puerto Rico is the place for you. It’s absolutely one of my favorite “countries” to visit, and I’m honored to share it with you.

 

Open scene: A warm, soothing breeze flows over your skin. You turn your face towards the sun and feel the kiss of its rays on your cheek. Open your eyes, and beautiful waves splash at your feet. No, this is not a dream – this is San Juan.

 

The island is just overflowing with beautiful landscape and sea breeze. This trip, we stayed in Condado, walking distance from San Juan’s popular beaches…

We visit at the same time every year, during the “Noche de San Juan” festivities. The holiday is of religious origin, but has since become a Pride weekend of sorts. People from all over the island and the world come together to dance, swim and enjoy good company. It’s a great vibe, and a wonderful trip for a couple looking to enjoy island travel without a passport.

That’s right – no passport is needed for Puerto Rico!

Visiting (Castillo San Felipe) del Morro is such a necessary part of going to San Juan. Not only is it a beautiful sight, but it’s super affordable. You can check out the rates here, but I must warn you – it’s ridiculously inexpensive.

Most of San Juan is walk-able, so it’s a great place to explore with your significant other, or even your family. San Juan, Puerto Rico is definitely a Caribbean gem that seems to go unnoticed as a US territory.

When I say inexpensive travel – I mean it!

 

Everyone deserves to take a vacation once in a while, no matter your budget. Puerto Rico is one of the most ideal locations that I’ve encountered in my travels. So, what are you waiting for?

The Truth about Men and Sex as They Age

The Truth about Men and Sex as They Age

Truth about Men

 

 

It is a strange but real truth about men that, from the peak period of sexuality until your genitals are laid to rest with your other organs at life’s end, they undergo no visual change. While your other organs degenerate—skin wrinkles, waistline expands, hair grays—your sexual organ undergoes virtually no change in size or appearance as you age.

 

What does change is how this body part behaves—erections are more difficult to achieve, ejaculation is less explosive, and more recovery time is needed between sexual encounters. These changes do not mean a man must stop enjoying sex; rather, understanding these changes can help a man maintain sexual longevity for a lifetime.
Older men first notice that it takes longer to get an erection. This begins to happen to men in their twenties, but so gradually that most men don’t notice until they approach middle age. Much depends on the kinds of relationships they have and the frequency of sexual activity. Once your testosterone levels diminish with age, fantasies are no longer enough; the mere sight of a sexy body or heated foreplay might not do it. Many older men can only get an erection from the vacuum effect of oral sex and the psychological aspects associated with that sexual act.

Truth about Men
You might also notice that sometimes your erections as you age are only half-hard or semi-rigid until added stimulation hopefully brings them to full strength. This, too, is normal, but men often panic, recalling the days when they spent half their time concealing their erections.
The same is true of the refractory period. The amount of time it takes to recover after an ejaculation increases and the volume of the ejaculate decreases in proportion to a man’s age. When a man reaches his fifties and sixties, the refractory period might be as long as twenty-four hours, even with direct stimulation. At eighty, it might be one week.

Truth about Men
Men also notice that the ejaculation itself feels less and less explosive as they age; the semen leaks out rather than being forcefully expelled. Orgasms might feel less intense. All this is a normal part of the aging process. The good news is that with age comes increased experience, wisdom, and seasoning, which should be a boon to your sex life.

 
As you age, not only do you naturally acquire greater ejaculatory control, but also you should have learned a great deal about pleasing a partner in general, and your partner in particular. You should have learned tricks for arousing and satisfying the person with whom you share your bed.
As you reach your sixties and seventies, you may have to adjust your style of lovemaking. You might have more control over when you ejaculate, but your arms might not be strong enough to support you for as long as they used to do. The muscles in your back and legs might tire quickly, and your joints and ligaments might not be as flexible. This may mean you have to rest or change positions more often. You might have to try different positions. And you’ll want to maintain a healthy lifestyle, making it a priority to have a healthy diet and a vigorous exercise regimen.

 
Another truth about men that should be viewed as a bonus: it takes longer to reach orgasm. If your partner is a woman, she may get more pleasure as a result of this change because bringing a woman to orgasm is usually easier with prolonged intercourse, and the more satisfied your partner is, the more aroused you will be.

As you age, your body may not be as flexible, your sex drive may diminish, and your erections may not be as firm, but you can use your wisdom and sexual insight to your advantage. You and your partner can enjoy the extra foreplay required to get you ready. Focus your attention on getting the absolute most out of the intercourse you can handle.

 

Do not be let down if your ejaculations are not as volcanic as they once were—you can still enjoy the pleasure of orgasm well into old age.

The LELO HEX Story: Made of Honey & Gold

The LELO HEX Story:
 Made of Honey & Gold

Fun Fact: The condom has not been re-engineered in over 60 years and according to Charlie Sheen, “this is NOT your grandfather’s condom.”

[divider]
LELO HEX is the thinnest, strongest condom to date and was endorsed by comedian and actor Charlie Sheen at the premier of the new condom. The design was inspired by graphene, which is known for its thinness and strength. The hexagon pattern makes this material more flexible and increases resistance from tearing. For those of you who hate when the condom slips off, the LELO HEX condom will hold on for as long as you want it to.

Just before guests could head home and try the condom out for themselves, LELO made sure to have a demonstration station.  Representatives did a number of tests to show just how amazing the new condom is. They stretched and pulled and even poked holes in the condom to show its tear resistance.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BGnbcQ2q2AT/?taken-by=kimi_levadge

To be honest, the LELO HEX condom is also very appealing to the eyes. Especially due to the fact that they had a giant ice sculpture of the condom with RESPECT etched into the shaft of it. Clearly LELO knows how important it is to respect ourselves and others, especially when it comes to safe and amazing sex.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BGnc6Pfq2EN/?taken-by=kimi_levadge
For those of you who haven’t heard of the LELO sex toy brand, you are serious depriving yourself of pure luxury. So much so, that they don’t even call their toys “sex toys”, they call them “pleasure objects”. Let that sink in.

In case there is any doubt that LELO isn’t all about the luxurious life, they are the first sex toy brand to have used 24-karat gold on their sex toys. A demonstrator revealed their 24- karat gold-plated luxury massager, OLGA. When holding the gold-plated dildo, I had to reconsider if diamonds were REALLY a girl’s best friend.

 

https://www.instagram.com/p/BGndJhjq2Eo/?taken-by=kimi_levadge

https://www.instagram.com/p/BGnb8MEq2B5/?taken-by=kimi_levadge

The tasty drink selection was icing on top. As someone with a true oral fixation, I was tickled at the variety of drinks offered and if nothing else, I LOVE my fancies tickled.

 

https://www.instagram.com/p/BGnbP7OK2Ps/?taken-by=kimi_levadge
To top off the LELO experience, there was an amazing DJ, delicious hors d’oeuvres and finally the gift bag of any sex toy lover. The gift bag was equipped with their 24-karat draped couples massager TIANI, LELO personal lubricant, LELO HEX condoms and a LELO toy cleaner. Talk about treating yo’self! Trust me lovies, there will definitely be a review on these products.

Gay VS Straight: 4 Ways Gay Men Worry More About Dating

Gay VS Straight: 4 Ways Gay Men Worry More About Dating

The irony in a gay vs straight debate is that those paying adequate attention will soon realize that the difficulties faced are eerily similar. I personally found this study extremely interesting and insightful – hopefully you will, too.

 

Gay VS Straight

Using data from over 20,000 singles, elitesingles.com found that gay men are less confident, less secure, more anxious and feel more misunderstood compared with straight men.

Do gay vs straight men really worry more about their love life? Yes, a new study by popular dating website EliteSingles says, but it doesn’t make them any less happy overall. The large-scale data analysis of users’ responses discovered that, across all the indicators, gay men were demonstrably more neurotic than straight men.

– Over 20,000 American men studied in large-scale member data analysis

– Gay men in the US 3.5% less confident than straight men

– Study also shows them 3% less secure, 2% more anxious and 2% more misunderstood

– Level of happiness on par with straight men however

– UK study had similar results (-3% confident, -3% secure, +4.5% anxious, +3% misunderstood)

 

Gay VS Straight
via elitesingles.com

 

Gay men lack confidence: In the study, gay singles in the US were on average a staggering 3.5% down on how confident they felt, compared with the sample group of 10,000 heterosexual men.

Gay men feel more insecure: Gay men also averaged 3% lower on the ‘secure’ scale. The same correlation was seen in the UK study.

Gay men are more ‘anxious about the future’: Gay respondents were 2% more likely to describe themselves as ‘anxious about the future’. This pales in comparison to the UK figure however, which stood at a whopping +4.5%.

Gay men feel more misunderstood: Gay singles were also more likely to feel ‘misunderstood’, scoring 2% higher in this area.

Whilst none of the figures are large enough for concern, the study does identify an interesting behavioral pattern. Though it does seem that gay men worry more, the same analysis also took into account how ‘happy’ respondents felt and produced no significant difference between gay and straight men. With a difference less than 1%, this might suggest that worrying about our love life more actually has little impact on our general happiness.

Gay VS Straight

Resident psychologist at EliteSingles, Salama Marine had this to say: “Lack of confidence can come from a difficult former relationship, or even stem from childhood,” before adding “this can be a real problem whilst dating.”

To build more confidence when dating, Marine suggests these practical steps:

1. Make a list of all your qualities and be honest with yourself. Write down everything you have to offer someone in a relationship. For some people, this exercise can be really helpful because they can – literally – see just how valuable they are on the page in front of them.

2. If you feel that it’s not enough to realize this by yourself, why not talk with your friends? Just by asking simple questions like “Why are you my friend?” and “Why do you like to spend time with me?” you can realize your own value in other people’s eyes and learn to believe that you are a good person to know.

3. Fix reasonable objectives. When people want to change, they tend to forget that it needs to be done step by step – it’s important to fix doable objectives to avoid any disappointment. For example, it’s not easy for everyone to just walk up to someone they like in a bar and start talking to them. In this scenario, online dating can be really helpful; it can help you to realize that meeting and dating completely new people is not a big deal – you just need the practice!

 

So, the next time you see a gay or straight individual on the dating scene, take a moment to realize that they’re probably going through the same life lessons and challenges as you. After all, no one truly wants to be alone – right?

How to Get Your Body Summer Ready

Summer, winter, spring or fall; no matter what the season, good health equals better penis power. The general condition of your mind and body are reflected in the state of your penis performance. In the summer, it becomes even more important to get and maintain a high level of well-being, both mentally and physically. As the days get longer and warmer, we tend to be more active, and more of our bodies are visible. Dr. Dudley Danoff is back with some tips you’ll need to get your body summer ready.

Get Your Body Summer Ready

Get Fit and Stay Fit

A good exercise program is central to overall health and sexual fitness. It takes energy and strength to make love; the muscles of your arms, legs, back, and abdomen are all involved in the action. If they become flabby, your penis also risks becoming flabby. Build up your muscular strength with weights, push-ups, sit-ups, yoga, or whatever exercise you prefer. The summer is the perfect time to ride your bicycle in the park or take a jog. It is not that you have to get “ripped” or sculpted like an Egyptian god, but it is important to develop muscular strength and flexibility.

As the summer approaches, it’s time to commit to cardiovascular fitness. A vigorous half hour of aerobic exercise four or five times a week is what I recommend for developing and maintaining cardiovascular fitness. Physical inactivity leads to the deterioration of your body as a whole and can also lead to deterioration of your penis power. If you start wheezing or gasping for breath while making love, your penis will get the message that you need rest, and that is exactly what it will do.

Watch What You Eat

As spring turns to summer, it is even more important than ever to pay attention to what you eat. A diet low in saturated fat and high in fiber is the most effective diet to get your body summer ready. The most important factor in getting and keeping a firm erection is blood flow; and It is obvious that super potency depends on clean arteries. Do not gum up the works by ingesting saturated fats and bad cholesterol. If you have ever made love when you felt bloated or constipated, you know how much better you functioned when your digestive system was not overtaxed.Get Your Body Summer Ready

Do not overeat; make sure you consume plenty of fiber within each day. Wining and dining can be romantic, but the romance withers if you overdo either one. Too much alcohol (or any intoxicant) might increase your desire, but will surely diminish your penis power. Too much dining, and you will feel sluggish, heavy, and tired. In addition, a super potent man should be concerned with maintaining good prostate health. Reliable evidence supports a low-fat, high-fiber, and high-protein diet in addition to regular exercise as part of a good overall regimen to keep your prostate healthy year round.

Summer and the goal of weight control go hand-in-hand. Let us face it—it is a lot easier to operate smoothly and vigorously in bed if you are not carrying a twenty-pound belt of blubber around your waist. Not only do real health risks exist when overweight, but for most women, a lean physique is much more attractive. Even more important than how other people see you is your perception of your body. Maintaining a healthy body weight encourages self-confidence and promotes a healthy, positive outlook on life. In addition, if you are overweight and looking down at your penis from above a big belly, you might start thinking of your penis as small because layers of fat obscure so much of it. That in turn will cause you to think small about your penis power.

Stay Positive

In general and particularly in the summertime, I have found that men with poor body images have some degree of penis weakness. Men who are comfortable with their bodies and are content with their looks have a higher likelihood for super potency. Believe it or not, men with positive body images are not necessarily hunks. Some good-looking, well-built men have far worse body images than men with ordinary bodies. It is all a matter of how you see yourself. Some men are so insecure and vain that if they do not see Brad Pitt when they look in the mirror, they hate their bodies and ultimately spin a pall of negativity over their self-esteem. Others are content with what nature gave them as long as they stay in reasonable shape. In my opinion, every man is capable of attaining a positive body image. As you get ready for a joyful summer, set your own standards of health and fitness and maintain a regular routine.

Vnatural was created after I took my pregnant self to the pharmacy looking for natural personal lubricant one night. Not only did I find none, but everything I found had weird chemicals that could harm my unborn child. This inspired the formulation of a food-based lubricant. From there, our focus was to create natural body care products with sensual applications. Infusing our product with aphrodisiacs helps to encourage self-confidence and foster intimacy amongst our customers. To date, we have a cozy lineup of products that are natural and effective.

Safe for everyone – perfect for adults.
