Breathe Your Way To Orgasm - Orgasmic Breathing Tips. Of all the things you need to remember when you're in the sack with a dude — Did I clean my toilet? Do I look hot? Am I making weird noises? Is this condom gonna break? Should I go back to grad school? Am I adopted? — you may not think breathing is one of them. However, apparently many of us are forgetting to breathe deeply during sex, and that's (forgive me) cockblocking us from our orgasm. "Many women who aren't orgasmic are holding their breath during sex," says Alex Katehakis, the clinical director of the Center for Healthy Sex in Los Angeles. Shallow breaths, the kind that go straight from nose to mouth, aren't doing us any favors in the bedroom either.

Katehakis recommends that deep breathing into the pelvic area — the same way in yoga, for instance, the instructor tells you to "breathe into" your abdomen or certain limbs — and imagining that you're sending the breath into the vaginal canal before gently exhaling through the nose.

You’re not exactly sure what’s going on. Your heart keeps racing, regardless of whether or not you’re in this person’s presence. Thoughts flood your mind, making it difficult to focus on anything other than the person in front of you. This person is there with you throughout the day, keeping you company in your moments of solitude.

You can’t let go of him or her because this person has somehow managed to seep through your pores, fusing and making the distinction between you and this person a little more than shadow. You’re falling in love, and the world finally just started spinning. We’re cursed to forever draw comparisons between new experiences and memories. Just as much as it is advantageous, having the ability to prop two things side by side, compare them and analyze them, is also what damns us to a life riddled with sadness and disappointment. Accepting that the lows in life are necessary for the highs isn’t built into our nature.

Narcissism Checklist: Am I a Narcissist? | The Narcissistic Life. If you have been in a relationship with a narcissist or are the adult child of narcisstic parents, your biggest fear may be discovering that you, too, may have some narcissistic traits.

Narcissism is a “spectrum disorder”, that is, it is on a continuum and we all have some traits along that continuum. You may have narcisstic traits at the lower end of that spectrum and you would be considered confident and emotionally healthy with good self esteem. The more traits along the spectrum that you have, however, the more difficulties you will experience in your relationships. For example, you might have difficulty in the give-and-take relationship with others or the ability to tune in to your children’s emotional needs. Am I a Narcissist?

In an opposing theory, it is also believed that it can be caused in some cases by neglectful or abusive parents, causing the child to resort to this mindset at the earliest possible opportunity as a way of mentally dealing with the abuses of their past/present.

It is believed that underneath the narcissist's conscious awareness, these people have a severe inferiority complex, though they will never admit it, and are sometimes not even aware of it. Reconditioning a Narcissist. Understanding Dysfunctional Relationship Patterns in Your Family. Many people hope that once they leave home, they will leave their family and childhood problems behind. However, many find that they experience similar problems, as well as similar feelings and relationship patterns, long after they have left the family environment. Ideally, children grow up in family environments which help them feel worthwhile and valuable. They learn that their feelings and needs are important and can be expressed. Children growing up in such supportive environments are likely to form healthy, open relationships in adulthood.

However, families may fail to provide for many of their children’s emotional and physical needs. In addition, the families’ communication patterns may severely limit the child’s expressions of feelings and needs. Children growing up in such families are likely to develop low self esteem and feel that their needs are not important or perhaps should not be taken seriously by others.
