Tips
for a satisfying relationship
How
to make sure that your partner's expectations are met
By Pierre
Coda
| Francesca, 30, who lives in San Diego, writes to us, asking for
advice on her
relationship. She has been in a relationship with a 42 year-old divorced man with
four kids for three years. She adds, "I was very desperate after not being able to find a relationship and then tried
online
dating. In literally no time I met a wonderful man. He is very sensitive and romantic. He is very good
in bed, and naturally, quite experienced (he was married for 12 years). He says he loves me, wants to marry me,
and have a baby with me. How do I satisfy this experienced man? I love the way he
does it to me. I find some of the things that he wants to do a bit too much for me. I only started
having physical intimacy at 25 with my first boyfriend; we were both young and inexperienced. Then with current boyfriend so far it's been very nice. I am afraid that if I am not able to satisfy him, he may be
tempted to
cheat. What should I do?" (Related

This is a question that is very frequently asked by women along with techniques to
seduce a man. There is no denying that complete satisfaction should be
an integral part of any relationship. As our research has demonstrated, men who are not emotionally and
physically
satisfied with their partner are highly likely to seek both elsewhere, resulting in
cheating. So by recognizing this,
you have taken the first step in having a healthy and happy
relationship with your partner. Tim Rassiter, the author of the widely
acclaimed book "How
to drive your man wild" says, "If you want to have your
man eating out of your hands, we suggest a change in attitude.
Attitude is everything." (Related article: Finding

In order to satisfy your
man, there are a few things you must do:
-
Have a conversation with your
partner.
I have found that when couples do not communicate, most of the
problems start. So even if you find a topic uncomfortable, for
example, his preferences, you must listen to him.
Otherwise, he will be tempted to find someone else.
-
Keep an open mind. Yes, as
you have a right to pick and choose what type of intimacy you like and
want, so does he. The goal is to make sure that both of you
can come to a compromise so that none of you is either miserable
(because you hate a particular activity or is not getting
what you want) or is tempted to find another partner.
You will need to make compromises, of course. No loving
partner will force you or do something that you do not enjoy but
most activities can be enjoyed by couples without pain.
While sometimes men might come across as selfish and ruthless that
is not the case in reality. Kara Oh, the cultural
anthropologist and author of the book "Men
made easy" says, "A man doesn’t usually pay much
attention to his relationship. Either it works or it doesn’t...Much
of what he does and how he reacts is a variety of automatic
responses––such as needing to succeed, to solve problems, and
how easily he’s excited." Or in other words, if you
know what to do to win a
man, you can make him do what you really
want. (Related article: Finding

While some activities can be painful
unless proper precautions are used, they can actually be a lot of
fun. You must let your inhibitions and biases go away and give
it a try. There is nothing dirty about anything.
-
Men are very visual creatures
and there is no easier way to please them than to please their
eyes. So make sure that you wear only the finest lingerie in
the bedroom. Of
course, this does not mean that you can ignore how you look at other
times. In fact 80% of men in our survey said that they rate
looks and style very high when they fantasize about their
partner.
-
Become a student, again. Learn
from books,
videos and websites where you can find excellent
information. Talk to your girlfriends for tips and
advice. And there is no harm in asking your partner to also be
your teacher. If he has all this experience, he will be
delighted to teach you.
