Read Yourself Sexy!

I have called bodice rippers and romance novels "Girl Porn"!

Can reading turn you on? I mean really, really turn you on! Spike up your sexual desire - and make you want to get grab your partner - or have a little sexual fun with...oh yourself? 

We all know about "girlie magazines" right? That is pretty clear - but I have to admit to some very ripe memories of reading bodice rippers and giggling with my girlfriends that they were "girl porn". Yep - they turned me on and got me all hot and bothered! Little did I know that I was engaging in  BibliotherapyI

Biblitherapy is using reading to increase sexual desire - and turn up our sexual heat.

I couldn't get over that there was an actual therapy based on what I was doing organically and for fun! I learned all about this from a fabulous sexologist by the name of Dr. Susan Kellogg Spadt when I heard her speak recently at breakfast dedicated to understanding female sexual arousal sponsored by Zestra - a new organic female arousal gel - that I love.

I could read myself sexy! I loved that - and it was good to be reminded that I used to actually do that all the time. It was fun - and easy. And why had I stopped doing this?  I really didn't know....but I had. When was the last time you picked up a sexy book?

I don't know about you....but I am heading off to Barnes and Nobel! I have a little reading to do! I know - I'm shameless!
