You are home party plan business consultant, you are in this of course to have fun, partying in your home or that of a hostess for the express purpose of making home party sales and profits.

It boils down to, COMMUNICATION, which in humans is facilitated by three things:
i) neurons,
ii) neurotransmitters and
iii) cells. 

Our bodies communicate through chemicals (neurotransmitters) that are released by the pituitary gland and passed on to the responsive cells by neurons. The chemical substance of interest that facilitates communication that provides the positive side effects of sex is called dopamine. You can think of dopamine as the “I’ve got to have it” neuro-chemical, whatever “it” is. It’s the “craving” neuro-chemical.

The more dopamine one releases, the more your reward circuit is activated. The more “reward” you experience. A good example is food. I get a much bigger blast of dopamine eating high-calorie foods than I do low-calorie foods. It’s why I choose chocolate cake over Brussels sprouts (yuck!)

Dopamine is your major motivation, not the item or activity.  The motivation is pleasure. direct sales marketing then should be about activating the reward circuit as often as possible.  Remember neurons that fire together, wire together.

Home Party Plan Success Tip: Let your prospects associate you with all things good, all things pleasurable all things that create status.  

Why Are Home Parties  A  Serious Consideration For Tradiitional Business Owners?

There is the dopamine effect that we have highlighted.  Then there is the money and practically on the other hand.

Traditional catalogers and retailers are among the companies contributing to the home party industry’s growth. Monroe, WI-based Swiss Colony, for one, launched a direct-selling arm, Swiss Colony Occasions, in February of 2007. Direct Selling consultants/agents use a 24-page Occasions catalog to help them sell food, serving bowls, and decorative items. Bristol, PA-based women’s apparel merchant Jones Apparel Group in March introduced Million Wishes, a party-plan program that sells accessories such as jewelry, scarves, and handbags that complement the company’s other product lines.

There have been other recent big-name entrants into home-party marketing including Jockey, Crayola, Aerosoles, and Reader’s Digest’s Taste of Home division.

1.    It is an activity that both men and women can and do enjoy.  It is not uncommon to host adult home parties for couples.  Men just don’t get into candles and jewelry or kitchen knick knacks
2.    Adult toy parties at home are purely about education.  It is almost as though the advent of Viagra has given women permission to explore, ask questions, experiment and try new stuff.
3.    The other big reason home parties are a big it is that you get to sample.  We’ve all been to Costco.  We all love to try before we buy.  Trust me, the market research in try before you buy shows a fool proof method of getting repeat buyers.  Women attending a in home  show party get to try the lotions, and potions, the tingly gels and massage oils. They get to touch the various items. They get to see and smell.  Any activity that involves the 5 senses is bound to be cash cow because it doesn’t leave room for thought since the brain is so overwhelmed by sensory data!
4.    The atmosphere is one of ease, fun and calm.  Because of the weighty nature of the subject matter of money, a little jug of margaritas and some hor d’oevres go a long way to sate the nerves.  Nervous people make the worst buyers and our friends in lingerie home party plans have it all figured out.
5.    There is little or no guilt associated with the purchases.  When it comes to it buyers remorse tends to be very low.  People hate to feel pressured.  But we all know the postive effect peer pressure has on us, use it your advantage you savvy home party consultant you ?!

It is the season of giving and sharing. Your relationship can grow and blossom during the Christmas holidays. It does not matter if you have been together twenty years, twenty months, or twenty days. The holidays are a time to enjoy that new or old relationship, together.

This holiday season surprise your lover with more than one present. You can spend one cold, indoor day having a Christmas Scavenger Hunt. The adult theme behind your Christmas Scavenger Hunt can make all the difference, and provide some very exciting and erotic fun.

You will need to keep a few things in mind when you start to plan a Christmas Scavenger Hunt. When you are planning the hunt for your lover, you should consider the following Scavenger Hunt tips.

Consider the Presents You Buy
Ask yourself the following questions before you purchase anything for your holiday Scavenger Hunt.

Who is the person you are buying these presents for?
Is your lover more conservative or a wild sex kitten/beast in the bedroom?
Does your lover have any major likes/dislikes?
What kind of budget on presents do you seek to spend?
What do you hope to accomplish by having this Christmas Scavenger Hunt (i.e. provide more variety in the bedroom so you purchase lots of toys, give him/her a chance to relax more so you buy bubble bath, hot oil, etc.)?
Do you plan to buy big, small, medium, or a mix of all of the aforementioned sized gifts?

Once you have determined what kind of toys, clothes, or other potential presents you want to purchase for your lover, you can move on towards planning the actual Scavenger Hunt.

Leaving Him/Her the Right Clues
The main part of the Christmas Scavenger Hunt is the actual hunt. You want to make sure you have a little time to plant items around the house. Perhaps you will wake up an hour early one morning, or you may plant the items before he or she gets home from work. Whatever you decide to do, you need a little time to prepare the house, yard (if it is a private backyard), or another area where the hunt will be held for the actual activity part of the evening.

Once you have everything hidden, you should leave clues with the presents. This way, she will know exactly where the next present is hidden. Make sure you leave the right clues. Try not to confuse your lover too much as he or she will need to be able to find the presents or the entire Scavenger Hunt planning was a fruitless effort on your part.

You can use written clues, or draw pictures. For example, if you leave present #2 under the Christmas tree, draw a picture of the tree, or leave a silly riddle that points towards the Christmas tree. You can get creative with this so do not hold back!

Have a Christmas Scavenger Hunt Objective
What was your goal for having a Christmas Scavenger Hunt? Each person’s goal may be different. Some may be trying to build up to a large Christmas gift, such as sexual adventure furniture or an expensive toy. Others may be leading their lover into the bedroom where they have set up a romantic rendezvous for two. With new sheets, candlelight, and all the new toys and clothing in tow from the Scavenger Hunt, you will be prepared for a romantic evening together.

Whatever your purpose is, plan the entire Christmas Scavenger Hunt around it. It will make it easier in the end to have an objective. Then, once you have the entire hunt prepared, you can sit back, relax, and watch your lover joyfully hunt during the ultimate Christmas extravaganza. Of course, the thank you that you will receive will be more than worth it as you try out all the new presents you purchased together.

Why do some couples get bored with sex after a few months while others continue to enjoy making love throughout their adult lives? The conventional wisdom is that the way to stave off sexual boredom is variety — that “great sex” consists of different positions, different techniques, different routines, different times of day, different venues, different toys and devices, different perfumes, different condom colors — and different lovers. Much of contemporary sex material caters to this view, constantly feeding people new ideas on how to add to the sexual menu. Why else would all those women’s magazines tout a sex article on the cover of every single issue?

Variety-oriented sex advice focuses almost exclusively on foreplay. That’s understandable, since there are endless permutations to the positions and possibilities of this part of lovemaking. The whole body is an erogenous zone, and if a couple has the time, the imagination, and the stamina, foreplay can be new and interesting practically forever. Most sex advice spends little if any time on the way in which couples have their orgasms — because, as we saw in earlier chapters, there are relatively few effective approaches to this part of lovemaking.

But is variety during foreplay really the key to avoiding sexual boredom? Two people can make love in an outrageous number of ways and still grow weary of each other sexually. This can happen if they’ve fallen out of love, been betrayed, or suffer from other problems, but it can also happen to couples who are in love and really want to make the relationship work. Could it be that another variable is more important to the staying power of a sexual relationship?

This is an empirical question; we could find the answer by doing really thorough, honest, confidential interviews with couples for whom lovemaking has and hasn’t stood the test of time. Unfortunately, sex literature is not particularly helpful in this important area — probably because researchers haven’t been asking the right questions.

While we wait for better research, though, we can speculate about what truly keeps passion alive. Here’s a theory; it’s unproven, but it poses an intriguing alternative to the idea that variety is everything.

In the early stages of a romantic relationship lovers are full of passion and excitement and often experiment with lots of different positions and approaches and explore their likes and dislikes. As they get to know each other better they tend to settle into a routine — certain preliminaries and a specific way of reaching (or not reaching) orgasms — with occasional variations. This is a crucial point in a sexual relationship. Are both partners having satisfying orgasms (not necessarily simultaneous) when they make love? If a couple’s routine leaves one partner sexually unsatisfied (and it’s almost always the woman), there is trouble ahead. These lovers may confide in their friends that sex has become “boring,” but boredom is not the real issue. The nub of the matter is a lack of deep satisfaction for the woman, which robs lovemaking of mutuality and depth — and may affect her partner’s level of satisfaction as well; men may be more sensitive to the subtle dynamics of sex than we suppose.

Without the deep satisfaction of mutual orgasms, there’s a tendency to focus on sexual behaviors that by themselves can seem repetitive and even tiresome. It is boring to go through the same routine week after week if it doesn’t culminate in good mutual orgasms. The hypothesis here is that if we interviewed couples who have become “bored” with sex and asked the right questions, we would find that they do not have a good technique for mutual orgasms. We would predict that such couples would become increasingly dissatisfied with their sex life and either accept that (and have a sexless marriage), use other means to gain satisfaction (perhaps masturbation), or look for new partners to try to recreate the “sheer excitement” phase that they remember so fondly.

Conversely, if we interviewed couples who have been genuinely happy with their sex life for several years, our prediction would be that at some point they discovered a good sexual finale and continued to use it (perhaps with variations) over time.

But doesn’t using the same mutual-orgasm approach get monotonous? Strangely enough, it doesn’t. People don’t get tired of having orgasms together any more than they get tired of eating good food. The analogy with food works on a number of levels.

Our appetite for food and for sex are basic drives that build up over time. When we’ve had a fine meal or a good orgasm, we feel mellow and satisfied and our drives are temporarily slaked.

Both types of hunger are influenced by quality: when food or lovemaking is mediocre, our appetite goes down; when the meal or the sex is good, our appetite increases.

If we’re extremely hungry or haven’t had sex in a long time, we are less fussy about the finer points of cuisine and lovemaking.

With both food and sex, we can have too much of a good thing: with food we feel sick to our stomachs; with sex, we get exhausted and sore. In both cases, our appetite disappears, and we have no desire to eat or make love for a period of time. But the basic drives are still there, and before long, they’re back.

But the food/sex analogy breaks down in one area. Although we can get great enjoyment in the course of eating and making love, what truly quenches our sexual appetite and leaves a sense of deep gratification and closeness is not all the foreplay; it’s the orgasms. The kissing, hugging, different positions, techniques, toys, etc., can be great fun, sharpen the palate and heighten sexual arousal, and even boost the eventual level of gratification — but unlike the courses of a good meal (which are the meal), foreplay activities are a means to an end; it’s the orgasmic finale that really hits the spot. The quality of this final stage of lovemaking is what delivers the lasting physical and emotional payoff. Getting that part right is the key — a point that sex books and videos rarely emphasize.

Another reason that using the same mutual-orgasm technique can be satisfying year after year is that the feelings lovers experience from orgasms can change from session to session. One of the remarkable things about sex is the potential for great variety within the same technique. Lovemaking in which a couple uses a single mutual-orgasm approach can be hot and lustful, sweet and gentle, loud and raunchy, whispery and quiet, and everything in between. Subtle differences in mood, time of month, level of arousal, positions, pressure, and timing can produce quite different feelings and climaxes. So within the context of one successful approach to mutual orgasms, there can be great variety over the years.

How do lovers know if they have found a good mutual-orgasm technique? There are several ways to tell:

First, does it deliver a satisfying climax to both partners during a lovemaking session?

Second, is it acceptable and comfortable for both partners?

Third, does it still work on a Friday night when both partners are pretty weary? (Let’s face it: most couples with children have limited options for private lovemaking time, most of which are times when they’re not fresh and well-rested.)

Finally, does it continue to work for both partners over the years?

These questions may be the best indicators available to loving couples as their relationship moves through the years. If they are honest with each other, they will know the answer to the first and second questions quite early on. They’ll get the answer to the third question as life gets busier and they’re more exhausted on weekends, and the answer to the fourth will become apparent after a few years. If they’re always “too tired” for sex on Friday night and sex is becoming “boring,” it’s a sure sign that the couple needs to go back to questions one and two and find a different route to mutual orgasms that really works for both of them.

It’s very easy to turn your lover on by talking dirty. It’s also a great way to spice up your love life. It’s not always the words you choose to say but how you say them. If you blurt out a comment with no emotion or feeling in it then it’s nothing more than a wasted word! For example imagine saying this with no feeling at all. “I like it when you do that.” At that point you have left your lover wondering what it is you like because chances are he was doing more than one thing or your tone of voice was so plain and emotionless he’s trying to figure what he’s doing wrong instead of right!

Men are often thought of as “horn dogs” they want one thing and one thing only THEIR organism! That’s not true at least not in 99% of all committed relationships. The majority of men are more eager to please the woman than themselves.

The best way to turn your lover on and talk dirty to him is to share your secret fantasies with him. Don’t even say you don’t have a secret fantasy! In the event you really don’t then you need to get one and fast!

The secret to sharing your fantasy even if it’s about Keanu Reeves AND Patrick Swayze and involves the three of you on a deserted island with a shipwrecked boat full of adult toys, you have to be a little discrete and pretend that Keanu and Patrick don’t really exist and it’s just you and your lover on the island full of adult toys. I think you get the picture and technically it’s not lying because your lover isn’t going to tell you that Jennifer Aniston and Halley Berry just showed up too!

Spend a few minutes talking about what the two of you would do on the island of adult toys. Then have him share his fantasy with you. By now both of you should be turned on.

At this point it’s fun to tease him a little and let his imagination carry him away once he’s sufficiently turned on continue to tell him a little story of the two of you and your island adventure. Encourage him to do the same about his fantasy and before you know it you both be swept up in your secret fantasy world having awesome sex.

Turning your lover on by talking dirty using your fantasies can continue as a story each time you climb into bed. When you finish one fantasy you can move on to another one.

Ireland has never had a very great market for adult entertainment and while it may be a bit rare to find an adult store in Ireland still today, it is not impossible to find one. The Irish society is rather a bit reluctant to adapt to the change that is also taking place elsewhere in other parts of the world. They have developed a negative feeling about the adult entertainment world.

The overall situation is a bit controversial as there are many local stores with magazine covers that have naked female breasts on them. Such magazines can be found very freely displayed and easily available for minors to look at them. However, it has been known, that, when the first sex shop had been opened up in a town in Ireland, the people had protested for its closure. It is mere irony.

The situation is a lot lighter now and the news of protests has not been heard for quite a while. This is probably because the people have finally become more open to reality and have learnt to accept another aspect of life. Hence, be one of the first, and break the ice. Do not be afraid; make your way to a sex shop, today!

Each and every one of us has a fantasy that we would like to have fulfilled, and denial is not the way to go about it. You must realize that it is a natural feeling, and not something to hide and be ashamed of. Many people are into bondage, and many are not. To those who are not into it, it may seem weird, but you will not know its enjoyment till you have enjoyed its pleasure like the person who has.

Previously, Irish sex shops were very out dated and had an out dated range of products. But, nowadays, a sex shop in Ireland is very well capable of providing you with sexy erotic lingerie, bondage gear, adult DVDs, sex toys such as vibrators and basically everything that you need to make your wildest dreams come true. How does that sound?

There are just too many items to name. If you have never been to an adult store, you would not know. There are so many ways a person could enhance his or her sexual experience. Give yourself the treat you deserve, and be sure to visit an adult store when you have the time. For you will be able to find products, that not only enhance your intimate experience, but also make your partner happy and leave you with a more connected feeling to your partner, than your have ever experienced. If you are still unsure if it is a good idea to visit an adult store, you can browse an online adult store at the privacy of your home.

There are many Irish sex shops operating online. Once you check one out, rest assured that, your eyes will be opened up to an entire new world of pleasure. So, be open, the experience of a lifetime is waiting on you to make a move.
