Legal recognition to same-sex marriage may help curbing HIV/AIDS, say experts.

Although the rate of HIV infection is 0.05 percent in China, gay men have been the hardest hit by the sexually transmitted disease, experts warned ahead of this year's World AIDS Day.

According to experts, in some cities, nearly one out of five is HIV positive in the gay community, reports the China Daily.

However, in the recent years the dating sites have become stagnant and even the top players in the market only have a 7% growth rate which is not quite great. It is not surprising then that adult dating sites are doing a lot better in comparison with a growth rate of around 67%.

There are many good sexually oriented dating sites that are gaining popularity among people of all age groups. Though it might sound surprising, the dating sites are now experiencing a set back and there are many reasons for it. The online dating sites make dating quite a serious affair.

Is Love More Powerful than Sex

Sex and romance may seem inextricably linked, but the human brain clearly distinguishes between the two, according to a new study. The upshot: Love is the more powerful emotion.

The results of brain scans speak to longstanding questions of whether the pursuit of love and sex are different emotional endeavors or whether romance is just warmed over sexual arousal.

"Our findings show that the brain areas activated when someone looks at a photo of their beloved only partially overlap with the brain regions associated with sexual arousal," said Arthur Aron of the State University of New York-Stony Brook. "Sex and romantic love involve quite different brain systems."

How to Make Your Woman More Passionate

All the things about great sex involves touching and mastering the essentials of touching is one of the best ways to make her realize how fun sex can be. Therefore I want to share with you some techniques for touching a woman, that will give her euphoric sensation, make her flush uncontrollably with excitement and drive her wild with desire.

(1) Touch her more

The 1st thing you must know is that women love to be touched. For women, being touched gives her strong feelings of approval. It is a powerful reward to a woman when you touch her and it can instantly make her feel great.

Women link many feelings of sexuality, love and trust with the sensations, love and trust with the sensations that are aroused in them when a man puts his hands on her. It can make her feel both sexually excited and safe at the same time.

Love Is A Decision

When you Google LOVE, there are so many websites/advice on LOVE. I used to be one of those LOVE seekers until I got married. It was then I discovered LOVE is not a feeling but is a decision. Attraction/lust is a feeling but it is definitely not the good foundation for LOVE. Love is when one can look beyond the lust/attraction feeling and make a CONSCIOUS decision to accept the other party for his/her entirety.

Those Mills and Boons books describing the heart palpitation are just temporary and initial feelings when you meet someone. As you get to know a person, it is then you make the decision whether to fall IN LOVE with the person. Similarly, a divorce is also a decision to fall OUT OF LOVE with the person.

It's not the other party has changed but you yourself has DECIDED not to accept the person for his/her flaws. When lust was in place, the flaws are often pushed aside but as stability or should I say monotonous sets in, the flaws starts surfacing. Usually the party the make the conscious decision to fall OUT OF love will find excuses for his/her conscience that things have changed or the other party has changed.

But in all honesty, the person that decides to fall OUT OF LOVE, could not face up to the fact that he/she has make that conscious decision to do so and it has nothing to do with the other party.

Many people try to find love and said that they couldn't. It is because all of us have set our own criteria for LOVE. Some of us wants a Tall, Dark, Handsome man, Singaporean set the 5C's criteria, men wants women with big boobs/bum etc. But did any of us prepare ourselves what happens when this criteria disappears after a while? What do we do when our Tall, Dark, Handsome man become a couch potato with pot belly, our 5C man loses his job, our big boobs woman has a mastectomy? Do we then make the conscious decision to fall OUT OF LOVE and initiate a divorce based on irreconcilable differences?

We envy those who celebrate their golden anniversary but if we talk to this people, you will find that it's their decision to stay together. No doubt, I know that there are many people who also decide to stay together for the sake of their children but they are not happy together. But whatever it is, it is still a decision - to fall in love, to fall out of love, to stay together but remain unhappy. It's all a choice - A DECISION.

So to those who cant find love, maybe it is your decision not to, to those facing a divorce, it is also a decision either from you or your partner and to those happily married for 50 years, it is also your decision to make the best of what you have chosen. What I am saying is by all means you these websites to widen your circle, to know more people, to increase your choices but if these websites promised to find you love, then think twice.

It is your own decision to love or not to love, no one can give you the shortcut and the secret to finding love.

Romantic Kiss & Sex

Think that sex is the end-all and be-all of a relationship? You may be in the minority. Emotional closeness tops physical contact, according to a new survey, where six out of 10 people prefer a kiss and a cuddle to sex and say being hugged reduces stress and helps with relaxation.

Seventy-three percent of those surveyed also believe that touch is a natural instinct rather than a conscious decision.

The survey, by contraceptive makers Bayer Schering Pharma, revealed that companionship (38 percent) and commitment (40 percent) rated significantly higher in a relationship than sex (6 percent) and physical contact (9 percent).

However, where they like to be touched differed significantly between men and women.

According to the survey, almost a third of men liked to be touched on their genitals.

More than half of the women questioned preferred their neck and back.

Christine Webber, sex and relationships expert, said: "Our desire for physical contact can be reduced by a wide variety of factors and one that is often overlooked is that a woman may simply be using a contraceptive type or brand that is the wrong choice for her.

"Other factors include being too busy, tired and stressed.

"In 2010, very many women lead such hectic lives that they feel constantly exhausted. As a result, sex drifts down the list of priorities.

"Unfortunately, fatigue is a real enemy of libido. This is very sad because lack of intimacy can endanger any relationship.

"However, when we touch our partners -- and have caring and loving sex -- this boosts the levels in our bodies of a hormone called oxytocin.

"This hormone helps us to feel more bonded to our partner and generates a real sense of well-being.

"Anything we can do to get up close and personal rather more often is likely to make us feel good."

While 98 percent of Brits surveyed believed intimacy plays a vital role in a relationship, it is men who have to take the lead, with nine in 10 women admitting that they do not initiate physical contact and leave it up to their partner.

More than half of those questioned said they thought the rise of social networking had led to less physical interaction.

Hot Seduction Tips

Believe it or not, most men don't really know how to take their lovey-dovey relationship to the next level. Most men don't really understand how to get physical with a woman, without seeming too desperate for it.

So, for those of you who belong to the league of men who do not know how to propose sexual intimacy, here are tips that will put you on the right track...

• Chivalry is the key
Most men make the mistake of directly wanting to jump into the bed. Remember, women generally like to take it slow and steady. Therefore, always begin with gentle touches and tender taps. Be a gentleman, open the door of the car for her, give her your hand, and stroke her subtly so that she gets comfortable with your touch.

• Whisper sweet nothings
Know her erogenous zone and play with it. Her ears are one of the most sensually stimulating areas. So, instead of kissing her left, right and centre, whisper something erotic into her ear. Rub your soft lips against her supple earlobe. This would surely heat her up for some more pleasurable action.

• Tease her to tempt
Tease her to tempt her. The formula works very well for women like those men who have self control. So lean towards her, whisper something into her ears, lightly brush your lips against her skin, continue to do so for a while till you see chills running down her spine and then move back. Chances are that you'll soon see her pouncing upon you.

• Offer her a sensual massage
Another sure shot way to get physical with your woman is to offer her a massage. A woman would love to bed a guy who’s not only good at heating things up, but also great at cooling it down. Set the mood right, get some aromatic massage oils and begin with gentle strokes on the neck. Read her body language to know if she likes your touch and take things forward from there.

• Be a man enough
Last but not the least; don’t ever try getting physical with a woman without her consent. Be a gentleman enough to not to propose sexual intimacy when you know she intoxicated or in a state of rebound. Give her time to open up if she’s not comfortable with the idea of jumping into sheets with you!

What Is Safer Sex?

Safer sex is a general term used to describe methods for reducing the chance that you will spread or catch sexually transmitted diseases (STDs, also known as sexually transmitted infections or STIs). The idea is that with a few simple tools and strategies, you can increase safety without sacrificing your sex life.

Use condoms
The first and best line of defense is to use a latex barrier whenever you have sex (if you have a latex allergy, use polyurethane instead). That means using a condom on the penis or on a sex toy; latex gloves on your hands; and when engaging in oral sex, dental dams or plastic wrap to cover the anus or vagina.

Get tested for HIV and other Knowing your own status is the only way to approach the next point honestly.

Communicate
Safer sex also involves talking with your partner, discussing activities and risks and making educated choices together. Of course, sex raises a number of other questions. Do you trust your partner? How do you get a guy to use a condom if he refuses to do so? What if you are suspicious that your partner is not being monogamous?

Change sex practices
Some people choose to avoid risky activities completely or find ways to reduce the complications associated with them—although this strategy still requires honesty, communication, and STD testing.

Be monogamous or abstinent
Total abstinence is the only 100% effective safe sex method; it's just not that realistic for most people. Next in line is a long-term monogamous relationship in which both partners know their status to be negative for STDs, and both stay true to the monogamous ideal.

Better Love Life, Better Sex Life Need More Time

Remember when being with your partner excited your passions, your love and your lust? Where have those days gone?

We all want to experience a lifetime of passionate, healthy, fun-loving sex. The reality today is that we seem to lead such frantic lives that when we get together to celebrate what we mean to each other, we want to make the most of those special times. They should be memorable moments - they may have to last a while until we have the time and the energy to "bliss out" again.

Good sex comes from spending quality time together and making it fun - sex is really playtime for adults.

Women especially love the ambience and the mood to be just right. Sexual satisfaction comes as much through stimulation of the brain as the genitals. It's about connecting - kissing, touching, cuddling, talking and having fun. Whilst a "quickie" can be exciting, the best sex is often a long leisurely affair. A few "props" can often help to set the mood.

LoveLife Plus have carefully selected a range of quality products to help you set the mood for your playtime.

Great sex means getting in touch with that spark of eroticism inside us and giving it the fuel to keep burning bright. We can all do with learning some new skills and tricks to try on our lover that can make sex great for both lovers.

It also means dedicating time to sex. If you're caught in a pattern where you never - or rarely - have sex with your partner (easily done when you have kids or demanding work schedules), you may simply have lost the habit of being physical together. You can start to break that habit from today. Don't wait for your partner to make a move towards you or for the tiredness to abate. Instead approach him or her tonight, no matter how you're feeling. It may seem forced at first but after you've done this a few times, it will start to feel comforting, lovely and normal to be intimate with your partner once more, and you'll actually start to look forward to sex again.

Once you are again in the habit of sex, you can create special times for being together. Your special times may require special planning.

Read on for ideas to make "playtime" more fun:

Fantasy and dressing up
Touching and massage
Rude food
Games and tricks
Films, books, music and mood

How Should Women Dress to Flirt?

Achieving your first goal to look like a sexually alive woman should be easy with proper colorful clothes, shiny jewelry, medium to heavy makeup, and especially prepared "casual" look of your hair. Be sure to show your bare neck and ears. That signals "available".

Your goal is to attract the attention of men but not invite sexual attack. The difference between too little and too much skin is narrow, so adjustable clothing is best. In some environments jeans are great for either pulling up to cover skin or letting "accidentally" slide down to show your thong bikini in back. Even when pulled up they will still reveal all your great feminine curves. Guys love to look at those female curves!

In the appropriate environment, high-heel shoes make a woman look very sexy. Even though high-heels restrict foot movement on the dance floor, make walking appear awkward and uncomfortable, and even cause women to trip in some cases, they are worth their usual high price.

High-heeled shoes signify sexuality and desirability. The most effective fetish both constricts, up-lifts, binds and raises the woman's body parts. High-heeled shoes and bras are favorites. High-heels represent heightened sexuality. Shackles of a sort, they place the feminine wearer in a position of greater vulnerability and desirability.

So, if appropriate in the place where you are going to find a man, wear sexy high-heel shoes and reveal plenty of bare skin.

If you bring together your best makeup and color-coordinated clothes that shout to the world, "I am a sexually alive woman! I am here! You can approach me!" you will have the men lined up trying to get to you. Guaranteed! But also remember this: When you fish with shark bait, guess what you catch?

Keep in mind that men understand that they must court a woman and please her in order to be selected by her for a mate. It has been this way for millions of generations in all species. Females have the power to reject or accept the male of her choice. Good choices produce good relationships. Understanding and reading men's body language can help women make good choices.

Does Physical Attraction Matter?

The truth is, men prefer pretty women. Humans are drawn to beauty. We seek beauty in nature, art and pretty much everything else; that is just how God made us. Many of the saints have said that man's desire for beauty is a reflection of our higher nature that seeks God, as the creation is a reflection of its creator. To get back down to earth though, no man has ever gazed at a woman across a crowded room and exclaimed, "Wow, she has a great personality!"

Researchers have found that babies respond more positively to attractive people. Babies haven't been enculturated to learn what our popular culture considers attractive, but they still respond to beauty. Folk takes show us that long before television and magazines began to shape our social consciousness, beautiful women were associated with goodness and other positive attributes, while the villains were ugly old witches. Even the Bible tells the story of Esther, the beautiful Hebrew woman who was so desired by the King of Persia, that she was able to save her people solely on the merits of her physical attractiveness.

A recent study found that physical beauty is the highest priority for men in choosing a mate. Before you women reply with the typical "Lifetime Television" response condemning men as being shallow, consider this: the same study found that women placed physical attraction second only to how much money a man has. The pursuit of money would hardly seem to be a nobler goal than the pursuit of beauty!

That study sheds light on the whole "trophy wife" phenomenon. A woman who is pretty enough to have any man she wants seeks the richest guy she can find, and a man who is rich enough to have any woman he wants seeks the prettiest woman he can find. Donald Trump leaves Ivana for Marla and Anna Nicole Smith married a rich old geezer. They all seem to be rather shallow people. They all got what they wanted. Both sexes are equally superficial…or driven by basal/preservation instinct.

Beautiful women have more romantic options and opportunities. However, in my opinion, only about 5% of the population falls into the truly beautiful category. In some geographical regions this percentage may be higher; Italy has a surplus of beautiful women, as does Cuba and the American south – but, these regions also have the best food and, as obesity is not considered attractive by most men, it all balances out in the end. So, 95% of the population is not beautiful, but about 90% of folks get married. Most women are average in appearance and most women find mates; how is that?

My mother is a psychologist and she notices a lot of things about people that I usually miss. Not long ago, she commented, "Have you noticed how almost all of the couples on the E-Harmony commercials look alike? They look as though they could be related." This led her to conclude that many people are attracted to mates who look similar to themselves. This might explain why, even though I am most attracted to dark haired, olive skinned women, I usually end up with tall, pale, willowy blondes. I'm 6'4", with fair hair and complexion. I certainly don't seek these women out, but maybe they seek me out.

Here is a useful tip for average looking women: if you see a guy to whom you are attracted, go up to him and say hello. Men are not usually as socially adept as women. However, we are always expected to make the first move. Very few of us are comfortable approaching a woman and starting a conversation. Heck, most of us can barely talk with each other with any level of comfort! Just go up to the guy and start talking and flirting and doing what comes naturally to women. Don't stand there, waiting for him to make the first move. Even if you are not the most attractive woman in the room, you will be in his eyes.

I would also suggest that most people of both genders have a less than realistic opinion of their own looks. Most above average looking guys think that beautiful women are out of their league. They will choose a more average looking woman for fear of rejection or because they doubt they are attractive enough to cause a beautiful woman to fall in love with them and remain faithful.

Then, there is desperation. Many people get together motivated mainly by a desire not to be alone. A friend of mine recently married one of the most unpleasant women I've ever met mainly because he wanted to get married before he turned 40.

In the immortal words of Mickey Gilley, from "The Girls All Get Prettier at Closing Time":

Another point needs to be examined. A recent study by Martin Fieder and Susanne Huber, of the University of Vienna found that men are most desirous of women younger than themselves, while women prefer older men. That makes sense considering that younger women tend to be more attractive and older men have had more time to make money. Historically, this has been the trend that humanity has followed, regardless of culture.

It was only in the 1950s, when advertisers began to market products to specific generations and the teenager became a pop-culture phenomenon, that the natural desire of age difference in a romantic relationship began to fade – older men marrying younger women began to be seen as old fashioned, backward and less than ideal. I'm not going to say that age disparity is preferable. However, anyone can see that divorce rates skyrocketed from that point on.

I'm reminded of Ray and Rosa Hicks. Ray was a famous storyteller from the mountains of North Carolina, and a good friend of mine. Ray was 27 and Rosa was 14 when they married. They remained deeply in love throughout their marriage, raised several children, and Rosa was at Ray's side when he died at the age of 81.

Their lives were very tough and Ray was a hard man to live with, but they stuck it out and their marriage survived – they remained attracted to each other and even jealous of one another to the end. You can read about Ray and Rosa in a book entitled The Last Chivaree. Now days, such relationships are not accepted. A man of 27 who was in love with a 14 year old girl would be branded a pedophile and arrested. Maybe things have changed for the better, but I would be hard pressed to find any evidence of it in our society.

One last aspect of this whole physical attraction thing, that I feel should be addressed, is society's concept of beauty. Over the past few decades the women who have been held up as the ideal of beauty in our culture are pencil thin, flat chested waifs.

Frankly, I think the only people who think the ideal woman should look like a boy are the homosexuals who dominate the fashion and entertainment industries. Androgyny is not a quality to which one should aspire. This is unhealthy and just plain wrong. Arguably, the two most beautiful women America has ever produced were Marilyn Monroe and Ava Gardner.

Those gorgeous creatures would be considered fat by today's standards and not even allowed in the entertainment industry. Here is a newsflash for the promoters of pop-culture: Men like breasts, and hips and curves! Anyone who thinks Angelina Jolie is more attractive in her current anorexic state than she was 10 years ago is sick. Paris Hilton is disgusting. Anyone who promotes such misguided images of beauty should be tarred, feathered and pushed off the left coast!
