Bumped Up

I found a bump on my body today. A terror washed over me and as I toweled off I caught my reflection in the mirror. All a sudden I looked frail and I lost trust in my body. 
Then I thought about my wife and then my kids. Right after that I felt guilt of not having thought of them first. How terribly selfish of me. I did a lot of mental math and considered answers to short term concerns and quickly pondered what I could miss. My mind always goes for the worst.
 Now after visiting and talking to a doctor I found that this bump is a common condition. The MD joked that I’m sure to see a whole lot more sunrises in life. 
That’s a good thing…I’d hate to miss checking out more rainbows with those I should have thought of first.

Sex on the Brain | 12 Lessons to Enhance Your Love Life – A Book Review

Sex on the Brain: 12 Lessons to Enhance Your Love LifeSex on the Brain: 12 Lessons to Enhance Your Love Life by Daniel G. Amen
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A healthy brain is a sexy brain. That is the main take away I pulled from Sex on the Brain from Daniel Amen.

That is not a bad thing as the book does a terrific job of delineating the importance of a healthy noggin’ in sex and life in general.

I enjoyed reading the many interesting anecdotes and stories of people who are afflicted by a variety of imbalances and I found a new understanding of how fetishes and compulsions may function. It certainly gives some insight and it makes the argument that in order to enjoy a more complete sex life it is important to shy away from drugs/alcohol and also to seek help from professionals when a perceived issue arises.

The book is heavy on lists and at time this becomes tedious.

Overall, a good reminder that a loving sexual relationship doesn’t happen by change. It takes lots of work and care.
