Each Wednesday, Sexcerpts will feature a top sex expert’s favorite sex tip ever. (So you know it’s got to be good.)
Today’s sexpert is Dr. Patti Britton, Ph.D., a.k.a. “America’s Sex Coach.” In addition to counseling women and men through her workshops and lectures, Dr. Patti is the author of The Art of Sex Coaching and co-author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Sensual Massage. Here’s what she told Sexcerpts is her best sex tip:
You have to love and accept the skin you’re in!
Dr. Patti explains:
“Even though it may seem like the world pushes you to change the shape of your body and alter the external first to have better sex, more love and the perfect mate, the truth is that you can (and must) learn to love how you look from the inside out. Many women come to me for healing past relationship wounds, or they feel bad about their looks or bodies and can’t enjoy pleasure. Or they’re suffering from an ‘I hate me’ complex or whine, ‘Why don’t I meet the good men?’
“When they take the time to do the healing on themselves and shift the focus inward, often that shift changes everything. Your body really is your temple. It belongs to you, from birth to the very last breath. Even if you feel like doing some body-modification work, which is fine as long as it is moderate and enhancing for your positive self-esteem, you can do a lot by turning your thoughts toward self-love or self-acceptance. Treat your body like your best friend or your new car, and things are gonna change in your outward experience of love, sex, and pleasure. I’ve seen this magical transformation happen with thousands of women. You can do it, too!”
Love the body-as-new-car metaphor. Now please excuse me while I run out for a triple-polish citrus body scrub.
