THE ALLMAN REPORT- Your Body Image for Women by Alex Allman

If you've ever spent the day at the beach

or at a pool wearing swimsuit and feeling

uncomfortable with your body… obsessing about

your belly, your butt, thighs, or arms…

And then later that night wondered why you

weren't feeling sexually connected to your

lover…

Then you are NOT ALONE!

Your ability to be comfortable and confident in

your body plays a BIG part in your sex life.

When you are feeling sexy and confident in your

own skin, it attracts your man like a magnet.

I'm not going to just blow smoke here and say that

that physical looks don't count in sexual attraction.

I'm a bit of a fitness freak myself and put a

lot of effort into my own diet and exercise…

BUT, your ability to enjoy and ACCEPT your own body,

EXACTLY AS IT IS plays a huge role in the way

you show up for you man.

How big a role exactly?

Well, in my survey of thousands of men, when I

asked them what really attracts them to an ideal

sex partner, I expected them to say something like…

"big boobs"

or "great oral skills"

or "high sex drive"

…but the #1 response was, "she's comfortable with

her own body and sexuality."

A woman's confidence, how "comfortable" she

feels in her body is the MOST sexy and desirable

thing to a man.

If you don't feel confident and sexy in your

bikini or summertime clothes, your man can tell.

Which is why, in my Revolutionary Sex For Her

program, I invited my friend Andrea Albright to be

a guest teacher on the subject of loving and

accepting your body.

Andrea is in my Inner Circle of my closest friends,

and she is just an amazing, magical person.

And she also has a program that she teaches for women

to get into shape that is based entirely on learning

to accept and love your body exactly the way it is.

Her principle is that NOBODY EVER gets into shape

through will power.  That might work for a short

period of time, but eventually it's just too

miserable and people stop going to the gym and

fall off their diets…

But people who are already fit, who love exercise

and eat well out of preference, do so because they

love and enjoy the body they are in.  It makes them

WANT to do healthy things.  And so there's no will

power involved.  Success is inevitable.

So she designed a "weight loss program" not around

"losing weight," but an entire program around

nothing but methods to give you confidence and

enjoyment around your body image and learning how to

feel great in the body you've got.

Obviously it works because she's become very

popular online and has a lot of success stories.

Bottom line is, I've heard Andrea talk about

this process a lot, and I absolutely love her

ideas and her loving approach to teaching women

to love and appreciate themselves.

But…

I can remember the first time I heard her passionately

talking about it I thought to myself, "well sure, it's

easy for a skinny chick to talk about loving your

body!"  I had a lot of friends who really struggled

with slow metabolism and had a lot of emotional

pain around their weight.

I said something to her about it one day and that's

when she broke out the pictures of herself from

her early 20s…

I was shocked.  I had NO IDEA that she used to

be heavy.  I would not have believed it if I hadn't

seen the pictures.

She just has such an easy, sunny attitude around

eating and exercise… not one of those obsessed,

calorie counting, constantly bitter around dessert

time people… but more like one of those naturally

thin people who just have no anxiety around the

subject.

Anyway, if this sounds as intriguing to you as it was

to me, I invite you to find out more about Andrea.

I think you are going to love her.

You can get on her newsletter (which is wonderful) and

get a very good free report from her by going here:

Blast Belly Fat

And, if you have any issues around weight or body

image, she's running a 5 day special on her program

(which I super-highly recommend).

I am neither a woman nor overweight, but I've listened

to some of this program and I think it is brilliant

and absolutely beautiful.  In fact, listening to a

section of it actually made me cry!  I have so

many close female friends who struggle with these

issues, and hearing Andrea talk about it showed me

new possibilities that really touched my heart.

No matter what your genetics, or what shape you

are in… You deserve to love your body.

If this strikes a chord in you and you'd like to

re-wire some of your emotions on this subject, you

should take advantage of Andrea's program.  It

just might change your life.

For Passion,

Alex

Extatica Love Tips: How to Connect More Deeply with Yourself, Your Lover and the Divine

Trust and Be Vulnerable

A while back, I addressed the sounds of love in the tip, "Wake the Neighbors." In this tip we look at another aspect of abandon.

If you feel inhibited relative to sexual abandon, you're not alone. In western Puritanical culture, an aptitude for wild-haired unabashed expression of pleasure has never been on the list of discussable personal attributes in most social circles.

So if you find yourself sometimes holding back in terms of full sexual self-expression, discuss it with your partner. Together you need to create a cocoon of permission and safety. You may fear losing control. But remember that one reason orgasm is so sought after is BECAUSE we lose control, we go beyond our egos, if only for a moment. We secretly yearn for a chance to loosen our tightly held grip on the constructed image we present to the world. This transpersonal experience can be expanded, and who better to do it with than with the one you love? You may not be comfortable with how you think you look or sound, only to find that your partner finds you most attractive when you are cutting loose.

Here's one measure of your willingness to be vulnerable: When you are alone sexually, are you more uninhibited than with a partner? If so, notice what you are holding back when you are together, and see if you can allow yourself to relax into the experience without reservation.

Trust and vulnerability are intrinsically linked. The degree to which you allow yourself to be vulnerable and out of control, conveys the degree to which you trust your partner. And your partner intuitively knows this. When you let yourself lose control during lovemaking, you are saying to your partner, "I trust you enough to know you're not going to judge me or take advantage of me when you see me like this."

It works both ways. Can you allow your partner total sexual abandon? . . . facial contortions? . . . how about emotional release in the form of screams, tears, growls or whatever comes out? Can you remain fully present, accepting, even enthusiastic, regardless of how he or she looks and acts in the midst of unrestrained passion?

If this is difficult for either of you, try experimenting with baby steps toward self-abandonment, toward trust and vulnerability. You might make a game of it, each of you trying one or two new ways to let your partner know how much you're enjoying a particular moment or move, and then check in afterwards to see if they "got it." This kind of discussion and shared experimentation can, in itself, lead to greater intimacy.
