Girlfriends to the Rescue!

Alright girlfriends, here's the deal. There have been several recurring themes brought up in the comments and Patty and I aren't the best chicks to tackle them. Things like addressing the challenges of menopausal sex. Well, maybe Patty could do that one, I don't know! {Sorry Patty, you're such a good sport I couldn't resist! :)}

Anyhow! A main reason we started this blog stems from our belief that one of our greatest resources is each other. So we need all zesty chicks to pull together and share knowledge.

Here's our idea: We will regularly throw out a topic/question that you bring up and then let everyone share their tricks of the trade, thus benefiting us all. Kind of like a "Works for My Marriage Bed" instead of a "Works for Me Wednesday."

Some topics already on the table are:
- Menopausal Love Making
- Chronic Illness and Love Making
- Tips for Achieving Sexual Climax
- What about when he's not interested?

We will throw out the first topic soon, but what we need from you right now is questions and topics you'd like to hear from other zesty chicks on. It can be anything related to sex (physical, emotional, spiritual, etc) and you can comment anonymously.

I for one am looking forward to learning from you! Can't wait to hear what you zesty ladies are up to! :)

15 Zesters spoke up:

Today's my 23rd wedding anniversary! I'm menopausal, and I've been diagnosed with a chronic pain condition (fibromyalgia; I've had symptoms for over 25 years). My menopause tip (whether for intimacy or not) is to keep a small electric fan within reach by the bed. That helps so much!

ROFL
Heidi, you crack me up, girl!

And I just hafta tell ya--every time I see the title of this post I think of the (old) cartoon--'SuperTwins Power, activate!' or something like that! LoL does that give you a clue to my age? ;-)

But yanno, that's what we're wanting to do--pool our resources, those of all the Zesters put together, and encourage each other as well as throw ideas on the table of things that might help each other. There's so much sound wisdom out there that we want to tap into. And what works for one person might not for another, but it just may spark an idea that will work. We don't have to walk this path alone, and I'm so glad!

I'm really excited about this!
Love you girls!

Hugs!

At the moment, I have NO other suggestions for topics - but two of the ones "up there" are SOOOOOO on my mind! I may have even mentioned them LOL. This will be WONderful! PLEASE do it! Please!

Julie said...

I can talk about menopausal sex... I just finished my year. I'm officially done, they say...

But I'll wait for the post to tell what's helped me through!

Karin said...

Hi -

I've been wondering whether or not to post this. It might not be anything you can help me with (you might need to ask your hubbies). My situation is pretty much the reverse of most marriages:

My love language is physical touch. My hubby...not so much. In fact, there were times when I practically had to beg my husband for intimacy (there's more to this story, but it's too long for now).

So maybe no one else deals with this, so it might not be something to post for everyone, but it's one of the biggest struggles regarding intimacy in my marriage.

[For the record - hubby is really trying...things are MUCH better than they used to be!]

Thanks for listening!
Karin

I'm really looking forward to hearing more on these topics. I'm particularly interested in menapausal love making, and chronic illness with love making. I've got experience with both (even though I'm only 25!) I have an extremely painful disease that effects my reproductive organs and I've been on an injection therapy for six months that put me into premature menapause. So I may have some tips, and I am looking forward to learning!! Thanks so much for being willing to address these topics!

Proverbs 27:19 said...

Hey girlfriends!

I was advised by a Sister in Christ to have some type of lubricant during menopause. Don't know how that helps, but I guess I'll see when my time does come.

Other topics: sex after adultery and or pornography and

what "tricks" are okay to do?

smooches,
Larie

Beth in NC said...

I think all of the topics sound great. Larie had some wonderful suggestions too!

Joanne Sher said...

Karin - you are NOT alone. that's ALL I'm sayin'

Kristi said...

I have been married 3 years, with no physical experience prior......and often I just engage in the act because I know my hubby wants/needs to. Not because I feel anything. I think climax for me has only happened once in our marriage bed. So, ideas on things to try, resources for tips (that aren't raunchy). He is so open about things, but I have no clue what to suggest. HELP!

This is a great idea!

This may be beyond the scope of this series, but I would like to know how to be fully intimate with my husband when I know he is looking at internet porn. I wonder whether it is ME he is with or the images in his head. He has also "trained" his body to respond quickly, so he is done when I am just getting started.

I just discovered this site today and I am so glad to see it! The subject of sex has been entirely too "closed" in Christian circles but in marriage, God gives freedom. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
