Sexual Intelligence by Marty Klein
« on: November 06, 2014, 09:53:57 AM »
I know this doesn't seem like an MMM book, but the premise is about letting go of all the messed up, societal imposed, not your own ideas about sex.  And to do this, of course, one also needs to use let-it-go type thinking with other aspects of one's life.  I read this book 4 years ago and it started me questioning my assumptions about many things.  I was able to let go of the idea that an aging body isn't as sexy as a young one--I have done this so well, I actually feel better about myself now than when I was younger.

Recently, I have found myself using let it go as my mantra. 

Why do I think I need candles for my husband's birthday cake?  I forgot them and jumping in the car to go get them defeats the fact that i did all of the shopping/errands on my bike, made the cake from scratch and am in a relaxed mood.  I let it go and found an old large candle with candle stick that we used instead.  It was a better solution as I was able to be generous and loving toward my hubby on his special day instead of stressed.

Children don't take my advice, let it go, maybe my way of thinking isn't helpful to them at the moment. 
What if we don't take a big vacation this year?  Why do I think we need to?  What if we look at doing things a new way.  Let it go.

Anywho.  Just thought I would share this tidbit as it has been very helpful to me as of late. 

Cheers!

Sounds good, thanks for posting. I`ll see if I can find it in the library. I`m now reading "The Untethered Soul" by Michael A. Singer. It`s all about letting go of the inner commentary. You know, the voice that never shuts up. So far it`s very interesting.

is it geared towards one sex or fairly universal advice? sounds like it would be a great read for guys especially. I know, I just made a sexist comment but I don't have my filter on right now.

This is a great read for men and women.  Anyone who has a few beliefs about sex that they should perhaps "let go."  If you think the man should always initiate, that it should always be spontaneous to be good, that you need to be thin to have the lights on, etc.  For someone who is now middle-aged, it was good to look at sex with more mature, thoughtful ideas and embrace my aging.  And it made me consider that as we get older, the knees will have issues, or the back and that you don't want to just sigh and say "well sex is for the young."  I reject that!

I firmly believe that the best way to enjoy FIRE is to invest also in your relationship because a good sex will make you feel wealthy every day.
