DAY 126: SPIRITUAL SUNDAY
The Letting-Go Exercise

What keeps you from fully enjoying your sexuality?

The number one culprit is negative sex attitudes, which can manifest in several ways. Women more than men are prone to judge harshly their own (and one another’s) sexual behavior. But men have their own attitude traps, like the Madonna/Whore syndrome, which holds the wife/mother as too good for lust, while believing sexuality is all some other women have to offer.

Open a conversation with your man about the sexual attitudes that affect you and possibly him, too. Some of those negative attitudes include:

• Only young and beautiful women are sexually attractive.

• Intimacy is more important than sexual gratification for women.

• Men are always ready for sex and want more sex than women do.

• If you love each other, the sex will be rapturous, and if it isn’t, you have fallen out of love.

Make this the day to get your hidden negative sex attitudes out on the table, where you can begin to let go of them. When you say them out loud, they sound ridiculous. But stuck in your head, they can do a lot of harm.
