From Cory Silverberg, your Guide to Sexuality
For people like me -- so called "pleasers" -- who put others needs and comfort before their own, the holiday season comes with a certain sense of redemption. This time of year we're encouraged to be giving and think about others before ourselves, which is validating since we do that all year round. Which isn't to say that people who are pleaser's are any less screwed up than people who aren't. Most of us focus too much on the act and not enough on the process. Giving and receiving, whether its sexual, intellectual, emotional, or financial, is in some ways as much about the process as it is about the final goal. Being mindful and thoughtful matters, and in the long run may have a more lasting impact than even the largest of packages. Before we hit the height of holiday pressure, anxiety, and depression, why not take a few minutes today and think about not only what you'd like to give, but how you'd like to give it, and to whom. Philanthropy can be dirty in a good way. ~ Cory

Mutual Masturbation
There's so much pressure on people to perform and be great lovers for their partner (setting aside their own needs or desires) that doing yourself with your partner or doing your partner as they'd do themselves or some combination of the two presents an interesting challenge to traditional sexual scripts. It can also be a whole lot of fun and a quick and easy sex fix.

Increasing Intimacy Through Touch
Exploring sexual touch with your partner can be a wonderful way to deepen sexual intimacy, and discover new aspects of your own (and your partner's) sexuality. Sexual touch is not about orgasm, it's about exploration. Try not to think of it as another technique to get to some end point.

Tell Your Lover What You Really Want for the Holidays
The holiday season is one of the few times each year when we are encouraged to ask for things we want. But there are limits on what we're "supposed" to ask for. New clothes? Yes. A cordless drill? Sure. A little extra time in the oral sex department? Ummm...probably not.
