Problem: Article: The safest, smartest, and quickest way to improve your sex life is to communicate openly with your partner. Tell your partner what turns you on and what turns you off. Discuss your limitations and your ambitions for your sex life. Tell your partner anything they need to know to make your sex life as pleasurable as possible. Don't focus on what your partner is doing wrong, instead, focus on expressing your desires. Use "I" statements, such as "I like it when you touch me like this" or "I'd feel more comfortable waiting for that." If you find it difficult or embarrassing to talk about sex with your partner, do simultaneous free-writes and share your writing with each other, or turn off the lights and talking in the dark. Talking builds trust and intimacy. While it may seem hotter to cut to the chase, talking in the early stages of your relationship will help you avoid awkwardness and build the trust necessary to facilitate a healthy sex life. Don't do anything you're not ready for. Talk about it first. When talking about sex, we often get sheepish and fall somewhat short of talking as specifically as would be helpful. Try to be as specific as possible so your partner doesn't have to work to decode your messages. Instead of saying, "I wish we'd have more sex" or "I wish we'd have different sex," tell your partner how much you love being with them and how you want to work on building your intimacy with each other. Then discuss specific things you'd like to do together, or specific things you'd like to change. Don't fake anything. This damages trust and intimacy in the relationship. Instead, make your desires known and be honest of what is and isn't working. Both men and women experience physical changes that can affect their sex lives. If menopause is changing your libido, say something. It's better than your partner thinking you are uninterested. If you are experiencing erectile dysfunction, talk with your partner and your doctor. The condition is often easily treated and is nothing to be embarrassed about. Maybe you shrug off having a higher sex drive than your partner, but perhaps you are not engaging in the most interesting sex for your partner. Discuss what each of you likes that the other partner does. Then, discuss things you'd like to introduce that may be new or different. The goal is to ensure the happiness of both partners in mutual pleasure. Approach this discussion with a non-judgmental attitude and do not be afraid of shame; feel safe discussing sexuality with your partner. Talk about the things you fantasize about, the things that turn you on. Write them down if you feel sheepish and then discuss them with your partner. If something comes up in conversation, like when you're watching television or reading a magazine, ask "What do you think of that?" Be honest and be open with your partner. Sharing fantasies can be refreshing in your sex life. The brain is your most sensitive sexual organ. Discussing fantasies doesn't necessarily mean you're going to act them out in real life, but in a trusting and open relationship, discussing fantasies of all sorts can be an open door to explore your sexual side and keep your sex life fresh, spontaneous, and fun. Before sexually connecting, try connecting in different ways. These ways may differ from couple to couple, so it's important to connect in meaningful ways as a couple. Find the ways you meaningfully connect, then engage these interactions before sex. Intimacy can include intellectual, experiential, and emotional connection. You want to build a sense of intimacy and trust as a foundation. Emotionally connect through heart-filled conversation, sharing your feelings and practicing empathy. Intellectually connect by discussing a topic you both care about. Connect physically with your partner by sitting across from each other and staring into each other's eyes. It may feel silly or you might start to feel vulnerable, but keep with it and maintain this intimacy until you are ready to move forward.
Summary: Tell your partner what you like. Be specific. Be honest about changes in your body. Engage in mutually pleasurable activities. Share fantasies. Connect with your partner.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take the string you would like to use first in your left hand. Hold both of the other strings in your right hand, putting a little tension on the tape to keep these two strings straight. Pull the first string to the right, then lay it over the other two strings to create a loop which looks like a "4." Wrap the first string under the other two and through the loop you created Pull the thread through the loop. Take the tail, or end, of the '4' by putting your hand in the wide space of the '4' and pull the tail. As you tie the knot, pull the two strings in one hand vertically (downward), or parallel to your table. Pull the tail of the string with which you pulled through the loop gently upward toward the top of the bracelet where it is taped to the table. The knot will rise to the top. Make the knot tight enough that it will stay in place, but not so tight that it cinches your bracelet. As you continue weaving, make sure that these knots lie one right after the other on your bracelet and don't overlap. Continue repeating this overhand loop until you have enough length of this color on your bracelet. Every five ties should make about 1/4 inch of color. Be sure that you keep track of how many loops you put in the first color. Use the same number of loops for each color to keep the length of each color consistent. Repeat this process with the next color you would like to see in your bracelet. Continue on to the last color, then go back to the first one until you have a bracelet of sufficient length.

SUMMARY: Make an overhand loop. Tighten the knot. Finish off this color. Wrap overhand loops of each color.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Sit down in a chair where you can easily put both of your feet flat on the floor. Then, extend either your left or right leg straight out in front of you. Make sure your foot is relaxed when your leg is extended all the way. Roll your ankle a few times and point your toes and flex them back and forth to get your foot in a true relaxed state. Unless you are very flexible, it is difficult to get an accurate measurement on your own. Have another person take a tape measure or ruler and measure from the bottom of your heel to where the ball of the foot bends at the end of the ball. The measurement they get is your ideal heel height. The ball of the foot is the padded part of the sole that is between your arch and toes. If you rise up off of your heels, you will be balancing on the balls and toes of your feet. If you don't have someone who can help you measure, you can do it on your own. Attach a tape measure to the wall at the same height your leg will be extended. Attaching it where the bottom of your heel will be is ideal for the easiest and most accurate measurement. Set up a camera against a wall at a height where it will be able to fully capture your extended leg and tape measure. You will need a camera with a self-timer, selfie stick, or remote to capture the picture. Take a few test shots to make sure you have the camera set to the right angle and height. Once you've taken a good photo, you can determine the measurement on the camera screen, but it's typically easier if you upload the photo onto your computer. After it has been uploaded, you can zoom in to determine your ideal heel height or draw lines with Photoshop or a similar image editing software to make determining the measurement very easy to read.
Summary:
Sit and extend your leg directly in front of you. Have a friend measure from the ball of your foot to your heel. Attach measuring tape to the wall alternatively. Set up a camera to capture the measurement on your own. Upload the photo and draw lines to determine heel height.
