The person lying on their side places their head on their partner's upper chest and wraps their arm around their body. The partner lying on their back wraps their arm around their partner as well. The benefits: Like full-on spooning, the half-spoon position heightens intimacy and feelings of closeness, Fehr says.

Read More »Cuddling is as casual as it is comfy for most couples, but many often underestimate its ability to help bolster physical intimacy — and according to relationship experts, cuddling can be a hallmark tool for feeling comfortable and well-connected to your partner. For starters, there's documented evidence that suggests the physical aspect of a good cuddle session can decrease cortisol (a.k.a fight stress!) and work to improve your mood by triggering hormones like oxytocin — research highlighted by Penn Medicine indicates that some data has even indicated a same-day reduction in blood pressure for those who frequently casually embrace their partner intimately. But even more promising is the emotional impact that cuddling can provide. "When you are regularly physically affectionate with your partner, they're more likely to see you as trustworthy and likable, building on an attraction that doesn't always need to lead to sex or eroctic interactions," says Jessica O'Reilly, Ph.D., sex and relationship expert, author and host of the 'Sex With Dr. Jess' podcast. "Cuddling can help stave off and improve the management of conflict between partners; if you've laid the groundwork to feel fondness and satisfaction through cuddling, which is just one of the ways to feel this way, you're less likely to have intense conflict — or you may be better able to resolve conflict overall." Every couple is different, and what "cuddling" actually looks like for you and your partner can be as unique as you want it to be, she adds. And while it can indeed be a gateway to more sensual activities — O'Reilly tells us cuddling leads to sex about 16% of the time, per survey data sourced in 2011 — cuddling all on its own can feel just as fulfilling (if not more so!).
Basically it comes down to three important things — resilience, respect, and responsiveness. Showing respect is one of the most powerful, loving...

What is Low Self-Esteem? Low self-esteem is when someone lacks confidence about who they are and what they can do. They often feel incompetent, unloved, or inadequate. People who struggle with low self-esteem are consistently afraid about making mistakes or letting other people down. Having self-esteem issues can be detrimental to your health and negatively affect your personal and professional relationships. There are many reasons why you may have low self-esteem — your genes, how and where you grew up, and other life circumstances all play a role. A major factor of low self-esteem, however, comes from your own mental state. Your inner voice, or the thoughts in your head, can be constantly telling you that you are not good enough or worth anything, even if there is evidence to the contrary. Negative thinking in general is linked to low self-worth and low self-esteem. Signs of Low Self-Esteem There are several signs that either you or someone you know may be struggling with low self-esteem. Those signs of low self-esteem include:
Men prefer a woman who can stay calm and relaxed. Beauty is more than make-up and a fancy haircut. Men find women more attractive when they are...
