Better Sex Summer Sale - Best Sellers
Thanks to everyone who purchased from our Better Sex Summer Sale. The sale is going great and we've only run out of a few things. We included new products in our sale. That is a first and including new products meant we had to throw darts at a board to guess stock levels. Some of these products have passports and come from half way around the world, so one dart is what we had to throw. We've only had a few products go out-of-stock so far, so our guesses were pretty good and we get to keep our jobs (YES!!!!).

Better Sex Erotic Fiction Contest - Update

2008-06-16T11:12:00.006-04:00

Wednesday June 18th - Show Me The Money
Spent the morning organizing $100 check requests for Chaucer, Larissa Lyons and Buffy Christopher. Winning authors from Weeks One, Two and Three.

Read their winning Better Sex Erotic Fiction Contest Stories.

Several writers have asked to be paid with PayPal. GREAT idea! We will use PayPal for our next contest especially for smaller cash prizes. By the time we cut these $100 first round checks we've probably spent $200. PayPal will also be much faster than our current manual process. Whoever suggested this idea....THANKS.

Submission Problems Resolved
Submissions are coming to msmith@bettersex.com and siiweb@bettersex.com
Our email hurdles of last week seem to be resolved. We working on email receipts for several authors whose stories we received yesterday. We are also reading for week seven and eight right now.

When do the finals start?
We've tentatively scheduled the Better Sex Erotic Fiction semi-final community voting rounds for Mid-August. The BetterSex.com community will determine three finalist. A 3 judge panel will pick the Grand Prize Winner.

What is the submission deadline?
September 1st is the deadline for story submissions. Publication slots for our Summer contest will fill up before September 1st.

What if I send my story in after your contest is full?
Any story not selected for our Summer Better Sex Erotic Fiction Contest will be considered for our next erotic fiction contest. Our preliminary plans are to have our 2009 contest earlier. In fact, we may start in November and end on Valentine's Day 2009.

We need a long weekend at the beach before the next contest. We love reading the great writing we receive. It is inspiring. We've always wanted an Erotic Fiction Contest that ends on St. Valentine's Day. No time like the present, so send in your stories even if we are "full". We will post a note here when all summer slots are filled.

What will I hear from you?
Every writer contributes something important and valuable to BetterSex.com. Even if we do not use your story, we appreciate and support your writing. Every writer will receive a note from me (Martin) with reasons why we did not use their story in our summer contest. Each writer will also receive our thanks and a special discount code.

I hope these notes do not seem like "rejections". There are many reasons why a story may not be right for this contest. Veteran writers know this and will write regardless since writing is a particular kind of addiction. Many contest writers are first-time erotic fiction writers. My advice to first time writers is to keep writing.

Writing is a lot like riding a bicycle. You never forget how and the more you do it the easier it gets. As you might imagine, we are swamped and reading as fast as we can and still keep our day jobs of running a sizable web site. Please be patient and know we are on your side. Every writer who submits a story will hear from me, but it may take several weeks. My goal is to have notes to all writers by start of semi-finals in Mid-August.

Thanks and keep writing,

Martin

Spring Sexual Revolution

2008-04-22T21:35:00.004-04:00

All Revolutions Begin In The Spring

This is not true. The Russian Revolution started in October and Castro overthrew Batista in July. It just seems like all revolutions should happen in the spring. Revolution and pollen are in the air here in North Carolina. Everything is green and lush seemingly overnight. Nature is staging her own revolution on a massive scale.

There are many things you can do this spring that can revolutionize your sex life and they won't cost a dime:

* Listen To The Rain
You can here the purpose of spring rain. Open the windows, listen for distance thunder, count the beats from lightening flash to sound match nature's timing.

* Go To The Beach
Tides help unwind our too fast clocks. Go now before the summer crowds replace serenity with more of the same frenzy we deal with daily. This time of year is meant for the cliché long walks on the beach. Remember all clichés are true so hit the beach and don't stop walking until the sun is hanging pregnant in that moment just before sundown.

* Climb a Mountain
Spring comes a little later in the mountains, but it comes roaring in. Here the sounds of streams rolling melting snow to its summer home is the free natural sound that will help center and focus your mind. Bring a sweater and marvel at nature's ability to create Van Gogh murals every single year.

What about the Spring Sexual Revolution
Revolutions are hard to manufacture. They tend to spark one idea and person to the next. Given the too fast, bombarded and context poor way we live, it is revolutionary to just stop, listen and connect. Do any one of these ideas fully and with commitment and see if you start a quiet revolution this spring. Sex is not just about the physical and that may be the most revolutionary idea of them all.

Ever had a sexual revolution of your own? What worked for you?

We've launched our new Great Sex For A Lifetime 2 DVD adult sex education series in the spring on purpose. Our hope is that our new adult sex education series will help you create a spring sexual revolution if a spring rain, the beach or mountains aren't handy. Find other ideas at Better Sex.

Casting Call - Better Sex Video Series

2007-09-12T15:09:00.001-04:00

BetterSex.com announced a casting and resource call to baby boomers today with a contribution deadline of October 19th .Baby Boomers, people born between 1946 and 1964, are asked to contribute to a new sex education production. Our videos feature couples who share sex secrets on camera supported by professional sex therapists and educators, explained Martin Smith Director of E-Commerce for the Sinclair Institute and BetterSex.com.

The company is issuing an open casting call searching for roughly thirty boomer couples and individuals. Boomers with a great story to tell about their loves, desires and passions are just as important as couples who will share their sex secrets, explained Mr. Smith, because our productions are about relationships, connection, communication and life. It is certainly possible to be happy when your sex life is rewarding, but reverse the equation and happiness can be hard to find.

BetterSex.com casting call extends beyond couples interested in appearing in the new project. In addition to people, we are searching for great period pictures, home movies and original art work from the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s that will help enrich our production Mr. Smith said. The company is searching for original photographs, movies and art work that can help create a sense of time and place moving from the fifties to present day.

Our new project focuses on the endless creativity of baby boomers, said Mr. Smith. Many members of our team are boomers so our connection creates a desire to create something great. As always, we know we will receive support, suggestions and passion from our friends, customers and community, concluded Mr. Smith.

Summer Romance Tips

2007-06-23T13:29:00.000-04:00

Tips for Rekindling Romance This Summer:

Summer is supposed to be about fun, relaxation and family time together. Isn’t it? But in today’s 24/7 world where multi-tasking is king, the “lazy days of summer” can be anything but. If you’re a parent with young kids, finding time for romance can be next to impossible. Kids are at home. There are more activities to drive them to. And there’s more work at the office when everybody else takes vacation. So what’s a tired couple to do? The Sinclair Institute and bettersex.com offer these tips for finding play time for Mom and Dad – and putting the romance back into summer.

A Good Breakfast
Just like a healthy diet starts with a good breakfast, healthy romance and intimacy start with positive interactions right when the day begins. Greet your partner warmly. Show affection. Let him or her know you find them attractive – “You look great.” “You smell nice.” Make time for a touch and a kiss before the day’s to-do list begins. Most of us don’t have an “on-off switch” for romance. How you relate over the breakfast table sets the tone for the rest of the day. You want to create a kind, loving connection. So enjoy summer’s early morning sunshine – and don’t forget to share it with your partner.

Call Me
An important part of building intimacy is making your partner feel safe; they need to feel like they’re important and respected. So take a couple of minutes out of your busy day to call your partner or send an e-mail. Tell her or him that you’re thinking of them. Better still, put a special note in their briefcase or lunch – or post it on their mirror. Just say, “I love you,” and “Can’t wait to see you later today.”

Family Time
As kids’ activities wind down and the work day draws to an end, Moms and Dads can feel pulled in a million different directions. Finding balance and a chance to recharge are keys. First of all, don’t forget your partner. Say hello and let them know you’re glad to see them. Then you can begin to create a transition time that brings the family together and slows down the pace. It’s a chance to refresh and reconnect. After a simple summer supper, take some time to play a game together or share a good book. Just a little goes a long way. You’ll create a family ritual that’s relaxing and something to look forward to. And most of all, the kids will be calmer and ready for bed.

Dreamland
Kids need more sleep, plain and simple. And Mom and Dad need time together. That’s why setting – and sticking to – a regular bedtime is important for all. Be consistent and make it clear that by a certain time they have to be in their own bed. For older kids, you can agree that they have to be in their rooms, but either way, they need to know exactly what you expect. By setting this boundary, kids get the vital sleep they need, and parents get precious time to foster intimacy.

Fruits of Summer
After the kids are tucked in bed, Mom and Dad may both need a little time to themselves. It’s important to take that time, but then agree to get together to do something special. On a summer night, consider preparing a nice bowl of summer berries or a tasty fruit sorbet. Dim the lights and take turns sharing with one another. Focus on each other and nothing else. Fruit can be very sensual. And that little sweetness will give you a natural energy boost.

Cool Oasis
Another nice way to end the day is to create your own little oasis in the master bath. Run a warm bath, add some soothing mineral salts and light candles around the tub. Play some soft music, and enjoy a cool drink. Imagine the tropical breezes, and enjoy each other in the soft light. Light, sound and scent are all important paths to relaxation and sensuality. Take the time to set the stage and transcend beyond your daily routine. And if you need help selecting music that will set the proper mood, consider Aphrodisia, or other music collections available at bettersex.com.

Dancing Barefoot
Spontaneity is an important part of every relationship. But couples – especially parents – say it’s one of the hardest things to achieve. It can be as simple as turning on your favorite CD and kicking off your shoes. Gently reach for your partner, turn off the lights and dance together on the kitchen floor. (Or if you’re a little more adventurous, adjourn to the bedroom and kick off your clothes as well.) Just twirl, laugh and hold each other close. No special skills required. The closeness and rhythms of dance will erase the tensions of the day and boost your energy and mood. Then just see where it takes you...

Midsummer Nights
Warm summer nights have a magic all their own. Capture it by inviting your partner out on the porch. Turn off the lights. Look at the stars. Listen to the evening sounds and the rise and fall of your partner’s breath. That keen focus on your surroundings – and on your partner – keeps you in the present and frees up energy that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Take advantage of the warmth of the evening by retiring to bed with fewer clothes than in the colder months. Turn off the AC for a bit, lighten up your clothing and share a sensual massage.

A Little Spice
For couples juggling hectic schedules and end-of-day fatigue, it often feels easier to turn on the TV than to find the strength for intimacy. It’s important to keep lovemaking interesting and fresh. The first step is to talk about it – in a non-threatening way – outside the bedroom. One way to foster good communication is to share a book or watch a film to teach you new techniques and ideas. Try The Better Sex Video Series ®: Sexplorations which features real couples and provides step-by-step instruction. By watching with your partner, you open the door to a new level of communication and exploration that can lead to better lovemaking and a closer relationship.

Pick you up at 8
The idea of “date night” is not new. More and more couples are scheduling time to go out and enjoy a nice evening together – just like when they were dating. But there’s a new twist worth considering. In addition to planning “date nights out ‘, why not plan “date nights in.” Go ahead and arrange for the kids to visit friends or stay with a family member. Or better yet, work out a trade with another couple who has young kids. Set a time for your date to begin, allowing plenty of time for bathing, dressing and preparing. Then spend the evening in – enjoying some of the new things you’ve learned together.

Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
Communication is the key to intimacy – and to better sex. This can’t be emphasized enough. The more you can talk about your needs and feelings, the safer and more respected you will feel. Learn to listen and acknowledge what your partner is feeling; then make clear your own thoughts and needs. Be aware of the language you use and avoid words like “but” that can put up barriers and shut down communication. Most importantly, give yourself and your partner permission to be human. You don’t have to say or do things perfectly.

Garden Path
The last thing to keep in mind is that these summer ideas are just that – ideas. Use your imagination to create your own ideas for all seasons. Making time to reconnect, communicate and foster greater intimacy – and better sex – are all steps down a lifelong path. Remember, it’s the journey, not the destination that matters most.

Better Sex Is The First To Bring You What's Called Slipping

2007-06-20T10:12:00.001-04:00

Sitting in front of our televisions from 1966 to 1969, we were propelled forward in time to the 23rd century where Star Trek followers “boldly went where no man has gone before”, on the starship Enterprise, led by Captain James T. Kirk. The science fiction fantasy that Star Trek sparked began to come true in the summer of 1967 as NASA launched the Lunar Orbiter 4 to map the surface of the moon. The findings of the Lunar Orbiter would later be used for the first “walk on the moon” by Neil Armstrong.

The opportunity for making your most intimate fantasies come true is all around you. Better yet, you don’t need the technology of NASA (or pharmaceutical companies) to discover it. You might need some helpful suggestions and creative ideas. We’ve got the answers.

In 1967, Venera 4 became the first probe the interior of Venus's atmosphere. But I want you to think about probing the interior of “VENIS”. Very Erotic Non-Insertive Sex

VENIS is a highly erotic sexual technique that has men and women turning “foreplay” into the “the play”. VENIS sexual-enhancement techniques were originally developed to teach adolescents about safer sex, but have since turned into a cult of carnal wonder for couples.

Here’s the catch: “no penetration allowed”. Sexual pleasure without intercourse is the simple point of VENIS. It's an exciting alternative for anyone who's looking to spice up a lackluster love life. It’s an opportunity not to just treat erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation but eliminate it as a concern.

Technique for Tonight From Better Sex: Slipping Party

Turn on some sexy music with a dance beat. While he is sitting on the edge of a chair or bed approach him either dressed in very scant lingerie or completely naked holding a bottle of silicone lube or massage oil. Better Sex Buzz Team recommends a one hand pump type bottle of personal lubricant like Better Sex Personal Lubricant for easy application. Hand him the lube and then undress him seductively in any way you see fit.

Then give him the rules:

1. He can squirt the lube anywhere he wants on himself or you.
2. He cannot touch you with his hands and he can only touch himself
3. As the woman, you can use your hands or the lube anywhere at anytime
4. No penetration

Ask him to apply the lube or oil on your breast, thighs and buttock or on his naked body in select areas. Once you are well oiled, and slick to the touch, rub your body against his – your back to his front, your front to his front. He has no limitations, accept under no circumstance is he allowed to touch you with his hands, and there can never be penetration, so be creative with these rules. At some point when you are really hot, straddle the place on his leg where it meets his hip, then, undulate and rub your clitoris on his thigh. If you can’t hold back any longer, you have permission to touch his privates but eventually ask him to take over as you get closer to orgasm so you can really focus on achieving that euphoric pulse. If your man is so inclined you can add a little twist to the slipping party called “the hook”. Have him stand up and lean back against the wall. Reach around or through his open legs and place you finger or a mini vibrating bullet or vibrating egg in or around his anus to really put him over the edge.
