Tackle your jealousy and he can't climax....
If you're struggling with jealousy (haven't we all at some point? I'm as guilty as the next!) I've written an article to help people take practical steps to handling their jealousy. It's gone live on MSN.co.uk today.
The thing about jealousy is it's a completely natural emotion to experience but it's how you handle your feelings that count.
If you turn into the proverbial green eyed monster - that's very damaging to yourself and your relationship.
If you manage to deal with it - and realise it's unfounded (hopefully it's unfounded and your partner isn't messing around!) you can then move on.
I had an interesting dilemma to tackle on my weekly iVillage.co.uk column today. A woman got in touch concerned about her boyfriend not being able to climax. I know what you're thinking - how can a man not reach orgasm? Delayed or inhibited orgasm is more common than you'd think.
There are many potential causes for it from the physical (e.g. poor circulation) to the emotional (e.g. insecurity within himself or fear of getting her pregnant). Take a look if this affects your life.
TODAY’S THOUGHT: as I said, you might find it hard to believe that a man wouldn't be able to have an orgasm once he's aroused. But that's the thing about human behaviour – it’s so unpredictable and unique from one person to another - and it never ceases to amaze me.
So when you're amazed about the way someone's behaving - break down the elements of their life/situation and take a closer look. Their behaviour may not be so surprising.
Someone asked me recently why I’d chosen to do psychology - and then move on to becoming an agony aunt - the answer is simple - human behaviour is rarely boring!
Can't wait as having dinner with some gal pals tonight - one who is living in Spain and just back for a visit. Lovely to meet up with people you don't see very often!
Enjoy your Wednesday, Pam X
