Breast Cancer Awareness and Pure Romance

As I'm sure you are aware, this month is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There aren't many of us that have not been touched by this disease in some way. Please take this time to think about how you can take care of yourself, do your self-checks and get your mammograms. If you know of someone who is not doing so, encourage them. As women, we put often ourselves last on the 'to-do' list, but if we are not well, how can we take care of those we love? Visit http://www.nbcam.org/ to learn more or find out how you can help others in this fight.

I will be donating all proceeds from the sales this month of Just Like Me, our PH-balanced lubricant, to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. It is part of our special pink ribbon line developed to provide safe and effective products for extremely sensitive women. http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/

Sexuality, Sensuality and Survival

"In 2006, Patty and Chris asked our research team at Indiana University to find out more about the sexual health needs and concerns of young breast cancer survivors. After all, they are a neglected group even though a growing number of women under age 50 are diagnosed with breast cancer. With improved treatment options, more women survive breast cancer - which means they need help after treatment so that they can have the opportunity for a high quality of life." (Dr. Debbie Herbenick, a research scientist at the Center for Sexual Health Promotion and a Sexual Health Educator at the Kinsey Institute. www.mysexprofessor.com)

Information was collected from 115 young survivors of breast cancer about what types of problems with their sexual lives they were having and if they would be interested in sexual enhancement products that could possibly help. They overwhelmingly responded that YES, they were interested in learning more about these products, lubricants, vibrators and massage products in particular. Their main concern was difficulty with sexual desire, arousal, interest, vaginal dryiness genital pain and orgasm. The products they showed the most interest in could help with those things. In addition, some needed special products that were unflavored and unscented due to their sensitivity from treatments.

Not only has Patty, the owner of Pure Romance, addressed these women's needs, she created an entire program dedicated to helping those women who have been diagnosed with cancer recapture their sensuality. Here is more about Pure Romance's Sensuality, Sexuality and Survival Program from Pure Romance's website at http://www.pureromance.com/sss/.

Our Mission
To help women recapture their sensual and sexual selves through education, empowerment, and safe product offerings designed specifically for women following cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Our Pledge
Offer safe products to enhance women's sexual experiences

Raise public awareness on intimacy and sexual challenges faced by women with breast cancer

Provide ongoing support through current literature and specially trained Pure Romance Consultants

Provide an ongoing support network for women and their partners

Develop and maintain programs to educate and support women living with breast cancer

Our Challenge
Approximately 200,000 women a year are diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States alone (ACS).

Approximately 50% of women treated for breast cancer suffer from sexual dysfunction, sometimes up to five years after surgery or treatment (Fleming & Kleinbart, 2001).

Many women find the degree of support and information they obtained from their health care providers regarding their sexuality following breast cancer treatments to be lacking (Wilmoth, 2001).

Buying your Sex Toys at Walmart?

More and more we are hearing about how sex toys are becoming more mainstreams, vibrators in particular. As in my blog yesterday, even the New York Times discussed in a recent article how the combination of toys being both more acceptable and more widely available is changing public perception. Women of all ages are becoming more knowledgable about themselves and how our bodies work. This education helps both them and their partners know better how to find that pleasure that we're all looking for.

LiveScience also posted and article just yesterday saying that half of all Americans use vibrators. And why not, I say? There are studies linking a healthy sex life with people having less stress, more intimate relationships and as the article points out, possibly even better health! ("In fact, female vibrator users were significantly more likely to have had a gynecological exam during the past year and to have performed genital self-examination during the previous month.")

Now I am not saying that you can't have a perfectly amazing sex life without the use of vibrators. Of course you can! BUT, like chocolate syrup on ice cream (as well as whipped topping, nuts and a cherry!), sometimes it's nice to change things a bit. And, sometimes it's even necessary. As we learn more about the body and mind, we are finding out just how different men and women's arousal and orgasms are. What's easily achieved by one person, may not be for another. That doesn't make one person more 'normal' than another any more than the fact that I struggle with dieting and my aunt struggles with trying to GAIN weight.

So whether you're trying to add a little spice to the bedroom or just explore how things can feel differently with arousal creams, toys and other bedroom accessories, Pure Romance is a great way to do that. Can you imagine asking the teenage kid in Walmart what a good choice for a vibrator might be? What about lubes...is this one more slippery or will this one for someone more sensitive? Women can get their girlfriends together to play games, sample edible products, and view all the different types of toys with a professional, educated consultant. It's a fun, comfortable way to just see what all the buzz is about ;)

Pure Romance in the New York Times!

Pure Romance in the New York Times!
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/28/fashion/28generationb.html

"The researchers attribute the widespread use to easier availability and a cultural shift away from the bad ol’ boy, Triple-X-rated sex toy industry. Vibrators are now sold at Wal-Mart, 7-Eleven and CVS"

Pure Romance Parties are much more fun (and private!) than buying your toys at Wal-Mart! ;) Call me to book a party or get help selecting a high-quality product!

Joy of Sex is Revised

I don’t know if it’s necessarily a good memory, but it’s certainly one of my first memories about my curiousity about sex - finding my parent’s ‘Joy of Sex’ book in their old school headboard. (You know the kind with the sliding doors?) Honestly, I was both mortified and fascinated. If I were to look at it now, I would probably still be mortified and fascinated with the 70’s version complete with excess hair everywhere and all of that old-fashioned vernacular.

MSN had a link this morning on their homepage that ‘Joy of Sex’ has finally been updated. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28589259/?GT1=43001 Thank goodness! While I doubt that there will be too many people pick up this book with the hairy man throughout while choosing from the infinite possiblities out there now, if they did, I would hate for them to get outdated information such as pushing the concepts of not wearing condoms and orgies (a truly dangerous combination!) The book has been a staple for a lot of people for a lot of years. I believe that’s because it’s been around as long as anyone can remember and it’s title let’s you know exactly what to expect. Some of the books we carry at Pure Romance have more amusing names, such as Tickle His Pickle, Tickle Her Fancy and Ride ‘em Cowgirl http://ww2.pureromance.com/PublicStore/catalog/Books,148.aspx, some really aren’t sure how to take that. However, I prefer these books by far because of the humor of the author’s writing and cartoon characters rather than real people. It’s more light-hearted to me and less ‘clinical’, plus my husband is much more likely to read it with me when it’s funny too. Sex, in my opinion, should always be fun and funny, not taken too seriously. However, books like Joy of Sex certainly have their place when they are providing good information that can both help inform it’s readers and shake things up in the bedroom with new ideas.

And if you really want the end all book to answer all of the questions you’ve ever had about sex, your sex drive, orgasms, spicing things up in the bedroom and more, you need to consider Patty Brisben’s Between the Sheets. Who else than this wonderful woman who has heard it all - every question imaginable - and had teams of experts at her disposal to answer those intimate questions? She’s put it all in this book and there isn’t a single person out there who couldn’t learn from it. The first step to a great sex life is knowledge. Below is a description of the book. And if you’d like to purchase any of these books, email me directly for a 10% discount at pamloveland@pureromance.com.

Product Description

Tired of feeling like your sex life has become boring? Frustrated that your sex drive isn’t what it used to be? Do you really understand what your body needs to be sexually satisfied?
If you are like most women, figuring out exactly how to spice up your sex life can feel intimidating. Patty Brisben is here to help you learn the secrets behind your body’s sexuality and revitalize your intimate relationship with your partner.

And now she wants to help you. She knows that it can be hard to get accurate, honest, compassionate answers to your most private of questions, but she also knows that if you give up on your sexuality, you’re turning your back on an essential part of life.

The first step toward living your best sexual life is learning how to truly tune in to your body’s sexual health, its needs, and all the factors that may be inhibiting you from feeling pleasure and sensation. Like no sex educator before, Patty finally offers information that will teach you how to overcome your insecurities, understand your libido, and learn the ins and outs of orgasm.
Once you reconnect with your sexual self, then you can let your partner in on the fun. With Patty’s step-by-step guidelines, you can transform your intimate relationship, infusing it with novelty, passion, and pleasure. You will find tips that have helped thousands of women find the right lubricant, introduce a bedroom accessory to their relationship, and expand their notions of orgasm, intercourse, and massage. Using Patty’s time-tested techniques, you and your partner will reconnect and reignite your relationship — forever!

Throughout Pure Romance Between the Sheets, Patty answers questions from real women, covering the full range of common sexual concerns, from the connection between birth control and sex drive to how common medications can impact arousal, and why lubricants and other enhancement products can literally resuscitate sexual desire and pleasure.
Pure Romance Between the Sheets will give you the knowledge and confidence to live the fuller, healthier, and more sexually satisfying life that you deserve.

Always a Hot Topic at Pure Romance Parties - Libido

One of the most talked about topics at parties is loss of sexual desire, or libido. Changes in a person’s sex drive is common and natural. There are many things that influence our bodies and desires, so it’s not uncommon that sexual intimacy would rise and fall as those changes occur. It’s also a very personal subject because for some people and couples, a less frequent sex life works for them and they are comfortable with it. Issues may arise when there isn’t a match, or even a middle ground, between levels of desire between couples. That’s going to happen from time-to-time throughout a relationship, but if one person has an ongoing feeling of their need for that physical intimacy not being met, it can strain that relationship. And it’s not always the women who have a lower sex drive than the men. Men have a lot more expected of them these days than they did in the previous generation which can sometimes cause stress, exhaustion and a lessening of their libido as well.

• Approximately 33% of women between 18-59 years of age reported a loss of sexual desire for at least a few months over the last year. (JAMA, 1999)
• Approximately 20% of women reported a lack of vaginal lubrication during sexual stimulation. (JAMA, 1999)
• In a survey of 1,328 women ages 40 and older, 45% of women surveyed use intimcacy enhancing products for added stimulation. (Frankel, 2005)

Here is a link to moreinformation about the subject, things to do that could help and additional resources.

Pure Romance Health Education Newsletter Sept. 2008

Back from Cincinnati with Energy..Oh and New Toys ;)

Can you feel it through your screen?! If you could see how fast I’m typing this out, you’d have some idea of how energized I’m feeling! (Well, now that I’ve gotten some sleep because there was none going on while I was there!) I’m so full of ideas and knowledge to pass on to my downline and customers I can hardly stay focused. Pure Romance brought us some amazing speakers to learn from: Dan Thurman, Lisa Daily, Karen Phelps, Tonya Grimes, Brian Biro and Cindy Kubica! From the very first night there, we were pumped and bursting with energy from the guests and just being with our fellow Consultants again. Let me back up though, even before we got there, we were having a blast on the bus with the local girls! Seriously, when they started blasting music and telling us we’d be ‘dancing down the aisles’, I slumped so far down in my seat trying not to get picked I was almost under it! Don’t get me wrong, I love to dance and dance really well….after a couple of drinks! :) All you girls out there that say, “Oh, I’m too shy, I couldn’t do parties,” you can now see how shy I am! You’re not fooling me - quiet girls are the craziest! *wink*

Some of you may know I’m a small town girl too, from Dodge City, Kansas, and I’ve not been too many places (yet…PR is changing that!) So going to Cincinnati was a blast. We went to the Reds game and I had probably the best chili dog I’ve ever had in my life (Nathan’s - they put cocoa in it??? Chocolate in anything is a good thing to me!) We spent some time shopping and walking around downtown then one of the nights at the Cadillac Ranch. It’s been a LONG time since I went out dancing until 2:00 in the morning, then of course a food run afterwards :) 6 am to get ready for our next classes was rough! But the next morning we were listening to Brian Biro and you couldn’t help but get energized (and cry!) The best part was the ‘board breaking’ where we put whatever it was that holds us back from being the best we could be on one side of a board then all of the things we would be rewarded with if we just pushed past that on the other then broke it! I told my friends “I don’t cry…I WON’T cry!” I cried. LOL!

And the new products. I LOVE when we get new products! It’s like waiting for Christmas to see what they’ll come up with next. I’ve come home with things like ‘H.O.G’ (Hand Operated Girlfriend - it’s actually very pretty, ladies!), Purple Hooter, Tag Team, Microbullet, Buzz and more! Of course I had to buy an extra too…one for me, one for you, one for me…hehe. Product testing, c’mon! My husband is such a giver - it’s hard being a Pure Romance Consultant’s spouse
So here we go - I’m pumped and ready to go rock some parties and change some women’s lives by giving them the opportunity to experience what I’m feeling now! I’m feeling the WOO!

Is your relationship sex starved?

I read this heading yesterday and thought, “Nah….we have sex ‘x’ amount of times a week, we’re doing fine!” But as I began to read through the article, it made me wonder if my husband felt the same way? Was he getting as much as he wanted?

I can pinpoint at what points in our 9 year relationship our sex lives were in a slump. (Yes, even Pure Romance girls have slumps!) Those were the times when we fought the most, were more dissatisfied with our lives and were just generally more irritable. I kind of knew that this seemed to get better after we’d had sex, but really didn’t put enough importance on the connection. My husband and I have been through a LOT in our time together. Loss of a job, unexpected death of both of my parents days apart for unrelated causes, a new baby, a big move to another part of the country where we knew no one and didn’t have jobs waiting for us and so much more. Then there are the everyday little things - kids, jobs, bills, Kung Fu, birthday parties, etc., etc., etc. We hear all the time that we need to make exercise a priority, but what about sex? What would you think if someone said to you, “You need to have sex at least 4 days-a-week to be healthy.” Now that’s just a random number because, just like the article said, if two people are both happy with ABC sex (anniversary, birthday and Christmas), than that is fine for them. As long as they are in agreement - that works for them. But often that’s not the case.

Michele Weiner-Davis says:

“Sex is an extremely important part of marriage. When it’s good, it offers couples opportunities to give and receive physical pleasure, to connect emotionally and spiritually. It builds closeness, intimacy and a sense of partnership. It defines their relationship as different from all others. In short, sex is a powerful tie that binds.”

“Sex experts estimate that one out of every three couples struggles with mismatched sexual desire; one spouse is hot when the other is not. Because of advancements in medical and psychological libido-boosting alternatives available to those whose desire has waned, bridging the desire gap should, in theory, be a simple endeavor. Unfortunately, it’s anything but. That’s because millions of people with low desire are simply not concerned about or troubled by their lack of interest in sex. Nor are they particularly motivated to do much about it. Just ask their spouses!”

“Being complacent about ho-hum sex is a formula for marital disaster. When one spouse is sexually dissatisfied and the other is oblivious, unconcerned or uncaring, sex isn’t the only casualty; intimacy on every level becomes non-existent. Spouses stop touching affectionately, having meaningful talks, laughing at each other’s jokes, or connecting emotionally. They become like two ships passing in the night. Infidelity and divorce become all too real threats.”

So what do we do? It. That’s what we do. Most people feel like they need the feelings to be there - the desire and arousal - before they can have sex. But there are people that need the physical contact FIRST before they can have that desire. Catch 22 right? That’s why that even though it may take the ’spontaneity’ out of it, planned intimacy can be helpful. It’s better than no intimacy right? Often after you begin touching, kissing, laughing and just relax and pay attention to one another, those feelings will come back. I know that my husband has tried to give me a kiss before as I was running around like crazy trying to cook dinner, make phone calls, take care of something the 3 year old wanted and probably nine other things and I’ve given him a quick peck as I ran…or rather tried to run…by. He will grab me and make me pause and pay attention for just a minute, less than a minute, and that can mean a lot. We all need to slow down just a little and pay attention to ourselves and our partners.

Read the full article - better yet, buy the book. Consider it preemptive measures.

Growing for my Grandchildren's Sake

You know, I have always had on this page the normal stuff you see on 'about me' pages - just that, about me. I had things about my family, my job, my start in Pure Romance and all of that is still here, down below. But I had a big change in my way of thinking and in my life that I wanted to share. Since starting Pure Romance, I've changed. I've gained confidence, pride in my work and amazing life skills. I also have spent a lot of time soul-searching. Pure Romance really is about empowering women just as they say, so it's hard to be a Consultant and not start to think about what you want and who you are. As this became more for me than just a little extra money - as this became my business in every sense of the word and my passion - I have tried to learn how to grow so my business will grow. To grow, you need to know what direction you're going. Plants know to grow toward the sun - that it nourishes them. I know my family nourishes me and being a mother is my calling. I have come to realize that my success goes deeper than what I can immediately provide for them. What I am learning about business and myself I can teach them so they can be successful, their children after them and so-on. Success isn't just about the money - it's about all the emotions and spiritual growth that you get when you achieve a dream. It's about financial independence and security. It's about getting that time you deserve to spend with your family rather than working longer and longer hours. Pure Romance offers me a chance at all of that and the vision of my future grandchildren's success is my sun that will take me there.
