Hard to Get: Playing hard to get is still the way to go

Posted by: Sarah on: October 4, 2011

As crazy as it seems playing “hard to get” still works.  This does not mean endless games, but it does mean taking a deep breath, and having more patience than most of us possess.  Wait for the other person to make a move if you have at least laid down some hints.  There is something [...]

Relationships: Is this person “the one”?

Posted by: Sarah on: September 21, 2011

How do you know you have the “right one”?  The person who will lead to happiness.  This is a hard question on a lot of levels, and some of the most important things to consider are: Can you see your future without them? Are you committed to the relationship through thick and thin? Do you [...]

Teen Girls and Body Image: How we are losing the war

Posted by: Sarah on: September 20, 2011

Were did we go wrong?  Is it the magazines with super skinny models?  The TV shows full of people who must not eat?  The air-brushed bill-boards? When did we as a society make all the teenage girls, and women for that matter, feel so bad about the way their bodies were created that they want [...]

Women and Sex: How your self-image impacts sexuality

Posted by: Sarah on: July 11, 2011

We all know that the way we view ourselves has an impact on how we feel.  If we don’t feel good about our outside it can be hard to feel good about our inside.  How does this impact sex?  It might seem obvious that feeling less than attractive on the outside can lead many women [...]

Teens and Sex: When to start talking

Posted by: Sarah on: January 18, 2010

Not that you have missed the boat if you already have a teenager, and you haven’t really touched topics like sex and alcohol/drugs, but the boat is certainly on its way out to sea.  I suggest you run to the dock and jump before it is really too far gone! Every year younger and younger [...]

I get a lot of questions about sex from teens who are debating having sex for the first time.  The age old conundrums still exists.  Girls want their first time to be special, and boys tend to see it more as  a right of passage.  Deciding when to have sex is a very personal decision, [...]

Sexting and Teens: you write it, it’s yours

Posted by: Sarah on: September 30, 2009

For some reason the teens I know keep writing things on impulse!  Oh wait, that’s how the teen brain operates.  We are in a scary new world of written communication.  There are texts, and face book messages, and tweets, and all of them are out there for lots of people to see. Unfortunately teens do [...]

Teens and Anal Sex: the new virginity

Posted by: Sarah on: September 22, 2009

OK, so apparently I got a lot of peoples attention with my last blog about oral sex.  The stats were off the charts.  I figured I would throw another controversial one at you.  I got a question this week about anal sex and whether you are still a virgin if you have anal sex.  Apparently [...]

Teens and Oral Sex: not just for movie theatres anymore

Posted by: Sarah on: September 19, 2009

There is an alarming trend when it comes to teens and oral sex.  It seems to be happening at younger and younger ages and in more and more scary/creative places, like school buses and school bathrooms.  Teens seem to flock to oral sex as an alternative to “real” sex that allows them to keep their [...]

Let’s Talk About Sex

Posted by: Sarah on: September 16, 2009

There is a scary new survey that says parents are not even close to being a primary source of information about sex for their teens.  Teens continue to wish that they could talk to their parents about sex, and the ball keeps getting dropped somewhere in between.  What are we so afraid of? Are we [...]
