The personality of a Practical is simple, uncomplicated and pragmatic. They are the salt of the earth, ‘wholesome’ as a friend described them and probably the easiest people to talk to. They are above all friendly, down-to-earth and unpretentious. They are refreshingly authentic. They are the natural-looking people you come across,- they can be short or tall, are usually sturdy in appearance, not sophisticated in their outlook nor glamorous in their appearance – but certainly real.

They usually enjoy sport and outdoor activities, borne or the women were tomboys in their youth. 1 hats the lire they loved and still hanker tor and you can see them in their jeans, slacks and T-shirts or polo shirts most of the time. Casual suits them best in appearance and behaviour. Often their hair is straight and easy to look after. Practicals ask the hairdresser for ‘a good cut’. Some of the men like having a beard or moustache. They will not be slaves to fashion and grooming. Often they have no idea and no interest in what’s in fashion for clothes or decoration. They do not overly decorate themselves or their homes. They wear lots of natural fabrics. Neither women nor men like wearing clothes that are tight since comfort is very important. For women, stockings are only occasionally worn because they are uncomfortable and not natural. Very little jewellery and makeup is used for the same reason. In fact they tend to decorate their bodies with the same colours they decorate their bedrooms.

They have colour and pattern harmony in the bedroom but nothing unnecessary and none of the sophistication that appeals to a Classic. Being practical and functional is what they ask of their clothing, their furniture, their crockery, their car and their friends. What wonderfully warm friends they are.

Good examples of Practicals are Dawn Fraser, Dick Smith, Tom Cruise and Ellen Degeneres.

The bedroom behaviour of Practicals is simple and comfortable. Very little subterfuge here. They do like romance and will sometimes team it with a degree of athleticism. Nothing particularly beguiling for them but it’s absolutely genuine. Talking before and in bed is necessary too. And when it is over, ‘we’ve got to get a good night’s sleep so we can function well tomorrow’.

Key words: simple, plain, uncomplicated, useful, practical, easy care and no unnecessary decoration.

How can you improve the romance and sex in your relationship? By understanding how each style likes to be wooed. Enjoy some very enlightening advice from the following ideas.

Men and women interpret sexual moves and seduction techniques differently. What is normal behaviour for some could be seen by others as confronting and compromising. The tactics you choose to seduce are probably very different from those used by your friends and acquaintances. Interestingly, we never talk about these step-by-step intimate details even to our closest friends because they are our own private techniques and with each partner they vary slightly. These are the processes we have found work for us over the years: the body language, the pauses, the lingering, the smiles, the flirting, the haste and the words which are our fingerprints of technique.

The good news is you can keep doing those flirtatious behaviours, but now you can add something else which will give you unparalleled success. We have knowledge for you to make the path from A to Z intriguingly seductive. When you begin to demonstrate how much pleasure you can give, you will find your partner responding too. These strategies work equally well for a new romance as for a long-term romance. Put away the bitterness, the anger, the hurt and the regrets if you want more romance in your life. Lift your relationship out of its predictable and boring state. Here are some ideas to assist you to become a splendid seducer.

The first task is to identify the personality style of your partner, remembering that combinations of two styles are the most common. Think about what your partner wears and how he or she decorates the home. The more you understand your partner, the greater the chance for success. Romance is not just sex. It is a relationship. So notice how your partner lives. The way the home is arranged, kept clean and tidy, the internal and external appearance of the car (not the choice and model) speaks volumes about confidence, self-esteem and most importantly for us, their preferred bedroom style in decoration and ultimately in behaviour.

When we discuss combinations of styles we mean two major styles. Some people are very definitely one style, but most are two. When you look closely at a bedroom and a house you can often see aspects of each of the nine styles represented. Which style or styles predominate?

This is relatively simple if you are in the early stages of a romance. Take a peek at the bedroom. If you live together and you both had some say in the decoration of the bedroom, scrutinise carefully your partner’s input. Identify the style or styles they prefer in this most intimate of rooms.

Many elderly people are prescribed and take too many drugs. Because older people suffer from degenerative diseases, often of different systems, they are seen and treated by different specialists, who forget to find out what treatment other doctors have given. The result is that many elderly people are walking pharmacies. This can cause symptoms of mental decay, which are thought to be due to old age, not to doctors’ errors. An example was given in the British Medical Journal in July 1977:

Mrs. А.В., aged 68, moved here three weeks ago to live with her daughter. She has been asthmatic for many years and has been receiving prednisone (10 mg. daily) for the past 15 years. She has also had osteoarthritis of her knees and hips for nine years and has been taking ibuprofen (800 mg. thrice daily) for three years. Two months ago she consulted her GP because of a slight tremor of her hands, and because of insomnia. He started her on benzhexol (5 mg. thrice daily) and nitrazepam (10 mg. nightly) and also gave her a supply of pentazocine to take as necessary for her osteoarthrosis. Since then, she has become increasingly incapable of looking after herself; she has become confused, disorientated, and sometimes hallucinated. Her family felt that she could no longer look after herself, and she has come to live with her daughter. We would like advice on two matters; are her drugs responsible for her recent deterioration; can we rationalise her drug treatment?

It is wrong to call the emotional instability of a man’s middle years the ‘male menopause’. There are two reasons: he does not menstruate, and no changes occur in the production of his gonadotrophin hormones, his testosterone levels do not decrease, nor does he produce fewer sperms. But many middle-aged men do go through a period of emotional anxiety, of depression, and of stress. To call this the ‘male menopause’, because it occurs during the same years that a woman inevitably ceases to menstruate, is catchy and comforting. It is comforting because it implies that the ‘crisis of middle age’ is not due to a man’s actions or inactions, but to his altered hormones and, consequently, is inevitable. This is not true: our faults are not in our hormones, but in ourselves.

The emotional problems of middle age may be due to a man’s actions – or to his lack of action. They will only be solved if he alters his way of life. He does not lack hormones, he does not need hormone injections and they do not help!

A disturbing condition affecting men particularly, which appears to be sexually transmitted, has increased in reported numbers in the past two decades in several countries. In England and Wales, for example, 11,500 cases were reported from hospital clinics in 1952; ten years later this had risen to 25,000, by 1972 to 50,000, and by 1980 to over 110,000. In 1980, 40,000 more cases of NSU were reported than of gonorrhoea.

The condition is called non-specific urethritis, because no specific cause, such as gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, chemical irritation, or anxiety-induced irritation, can be found.

About 10 to 30 days after sexual intercourse, usually with a casual partner, the man discovers that he has a discharge from his urethra, which may be clear or purulent. When he urinates, the passage of the urine along his urethra causes pain, although often this is only mild. Occasionally the symptoms are more severe. The man develops bladder pain and an urgent and frequent need to pass urine. If he seeks medical examination he should avoid passing urine for at least two hours before seeing the doctor. The doctor may massage his penis along the urethra, to express a bead of pus, or it may be present without the need to do this.

Communication is important, as many men who are premature ejaculators are unwilling (or unable) to bring their sexual partner to orgasm.

The researchers in St. Louis have found that when the couple followed their therapeutic programme, the woman obtained increased sexual satisfaction. The couple were no longer so inhibited when they talked to each other and touched each other, so the tensions were reduced. As the woman became involved in correcting her partner’s sexual problem, she obtained psychological pleasure in the obvious improvement, and became less tense about her own sexuality. During the period of immobility when she sat with the man’s penis quietly contained in her vagina, she was actively involved in sexual intercourse. Before this, often through the entire relationship, she had been a pressed-upon, inferior, inert, recipient of an urgent, rapidly completed sexual assault. Now, for perhaps the first time, she had sexual freedom and sexual responsibility and, by helping her partner to cure his premature ejaculation, she obtained pleasure because he lasted longer before ejaculating.

During pregnancy, changes in a woman’s sexual desire and in her response are usual. Most pregnant women have a reduced sexual interest in the first half of pregnancy, which continues, with considerable individual variation, through the second half of pregnancy. Once aroused, however, pregnant women experience an increased amount of swelling around the vagina, so that sexual intercourse itself can be very pleasurable to both partners.

It is not clear why women are less sexually aroused in pregnancy. While it is probably due to the hormones which are produced by the placenta, there is also an emotional factor. Some women find that sexual intercourse is uncomfortable; others fear that the man’s thrusting penis may injure the baby; others are embarrassed about their enlarged, droopy breasts and their swollen abdomen, and see themselves as unattractive and not sexy. In contrast, some women enjoy sex more in pregnancy, as they have proved their fertility and are no longer fearful of becoming pregnant.
