Sexual Healing

Today’s post is all about sexual healing. No, not Marvin Gaye, but rather issues in the bedroom. This helpful post has been written by those lovelies at Lloyds Pharmacy who are pretty nifty at helping people sort out all kinds of issues.

3 Problems That Could be Hindering your Love Life

Perhaps you’re in a relationship that’s on the rocks, or maybe you’re struggling to find that special someone. Let’s face it, there is a whole range of things that can derail your love life. Here, we take a look at three and offer some tips on how to prevent them from getting in the way of true romance.

Unresolved issues between the sheets

Sexual issues can be embarrassing to talk about, but they’re more common than you might think. As many as a third of women experience difficulties between the sheets, and this figure rises as people age. From a drop in sex drive to pain during intercourse, women can suffer a variety of problems. Among men, erectile dysfunction is widespread, with most men experiencing this issue at some point in their lives.

These difficulties can stop you from pursuing romance, or if you’re already in a relationship, they might drive a wedge between you and your partner. The important thing is to know that you don’t have to suffer in silence. Help is available. You can book an appointment with a doctor or speak to a pharmacist to get the bottom of what’s causing the problem. These experts should be able to advise you on the treatments available. They might suggest making lifestyle changes, or identify an underlying health problem that you need to address. They could also recommend a targeted treatment like Viagra, which is commonly prescribed to men who are experiencing erectile dysfunction. There are alternatives to this well-known erectile dysfunction medicine too. For example, men can also buy Cialis from LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor and other reputable pharmacies.

Discovering the cause of your sexual problem and finding a treatment that works can make you feel more relaxed and positive about the physical side of relationships.

Poor Communication

Bad communication is one of the most serious barriers to a happy love life, so if you struggle to get your point across or you’re not very good at listening, now’s the time to take action. There are some good habits that it pays to get into. For example, make time in your schedule to give that special someone your undivided attention. If you live with your partner, simply putting your phone on silent and turning off the TV can give you the time and space you need to have meaningful talks. Make an effort to spend quality time together too. Whether you enjoy a catch up over a romantic meal out or you have a chat over a long stroll, this should give you the perfect opportunity to discuss anything that’s on your mind.

Also, if you have disagreements with your other half, try to keep a cool head and see things from their point of view too.

Sexual Healing: An Unwillingness to Trust

If you struggle to trust, you might find it impossible to feel secure in a relationship. Perhaps you’ve been lied to or cheated on in the past, or maybe your partner’s behaviour is making you feel suspicious now. There may be things you can do to stop this from ruining your relationships though. For example, if your lack of trust is based on previous experiences, it might be worth getting counselling to see if you can change your thought patterns and become more trusting.

Being open and honest with your partner about any concerns you have could help too. Bottling up your anxieties will just make you feel worse, and there may be surprisingly simple explanations that help to put your mind at rest.

There’s no panacea for relationship problems, but if you’re prepared to work at issues like these, you stand a good chance of keeping your love life on track.

Ok,  with a title like that I can’t not include a little Marvin-style Sexual Healing after all, can I?

Your Design: A Review

I love personalised gifts, both giving them and receiving them. Such things are personal to the person who is lucky enough to be gifted them and with so many funky options out there, the fun never ends.

Your Design is a rather cool online business offering personal gifts ranging from photo gifts, to cushions, mugs and more. Now if you are thinking “Yeah, but there are loads of personalised gift websites”, think again. This isn’t your bog standard site given that as well as the “normal” gifts you would expect to see, there is much more on offer. I also find the level of customisation impressive.

With Father’s Day coming up (Sunday 18th June here in the UK) I had started to think about getting some little gifts and treats from the boys for Roy, on top of the handmade goodies they always make which he loves. After having a nosy I came across this fab t-shirt.

I could choose to have this one personalised with “Since 2006″ (or whatever date) but actually liked it by itself. This t-shirt has arrived and is spot on. The printing is great, the t-shirt is good quality and best of all the sizing is spot on. Roy is 6ft 5” so needs a longer/bigger t-shirt and quite often the sizes tend to disappoint. Not this time though.

As a second gift, I chose this gamer’s mug. As well as his Dungeons and Dragons, scenery building and everything else, Roy loves his Xbox. I really liked this design and on the other side have had it personalised with his game tag (which I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t want me to advertise openly).

These goodies have been squirrelled away for Father’s Day but the boys saw them first and they were hailed with cries of “awesome-sauce!” and “epic” so I’m assuming that means they’ve passed their cool requirements.

As the title of this post suggests, this is a review post. I was offered a couple of items of my choice to keep, free of charge in exchange for an open and honest review, which is what I’ve provided. Had I thought the quality was crap, I’d have posted that. Thankfully though I didn’t need to, and on top of what I’ve received I have already bookmarked a couple of items for family members for later in the year. 

These type of gifts are great for those who are awkward to buy for (we all have one of those), for treats for your own home and even work-related, business branded items. The team at Your Design are always happy to talk to you to see what they can do to help you with your personalised orders.

A question for you on personalised items: If you could receive one thing, one item which as personalised in some way, what would it be?
