It is important to make your partner aware of any issues you're having, and what types of treatment you're receiving. It is also helpful to speak openly to your partner about what you consider to be sexual satisfaction, including the things your partner does that you do and do not like. Focus more on the level of intimacy between you and your partner, instead of just on the sex. Make time to have sex with your partner so you can focus on the enjoyment and pleasure of the situation. Try different types of sexual positions with your partner. If you experience pain with one position, try several others until you find one that's comfortable. Foreplay can include a lot of different activities, including: watching erotic videos or reading erotic books; playing out erotic fantasies; sensual massages; or even a warm bath. They key to foreplay is that it is different for everyone, so you need to communicate with your partner in order to determine what works best for the both of you. You may also need to change it up every now and again to keep foreplay fun and exciting. Vaginal dryness, which can be caused by a large number of things, can often make intercourse uncomfortable and even painful. One potential simple and easy solution is to use a lubricant. It is worth giving this option a try to see if there is any improvement. There is a large variety of lubricants available on the market for you to try. However, be sure to read the instructions carefully as some lubricants cannot be used with some other types of birth control, like a condom. If you are a woman who needs to have clitoral stimulation in order to become aroused or to orgasm, using a vibrator or other sexual device might be very helpful. You can either teach your partner where to use the device so you get pleasure, or you can use it yourself. Don't be embarrassed about buying a vibrator or other sex toy. If it works, it's well worth it! Plus there are many online stores that you can order from that mail out their products in unlabelled boxes and disguise the company name on your credit card bill. Excess alcohol in your system has the ability to blunt sexual responsiveness. Cutting back on the amount of alcohol you consume may help alleviate sexual issues you're experiencing. Smoking can restrict the blood flow in your body, which in turn means that less blood is able to reach your sexual organs. Less blood to your sexual organs can cause you to have trouble becoming aroused or to have trouble experiencing an orgasm. Ensuring you get enough physical activity every week, eating properly, and taking the time you need to relax once in a while can have a long-term and positive impact on your sexual experiences. Regular aerobic exercise can increase your stamina and elevate your mood. Taking the time to relax now and again can help relieve stress and anxiety, and help you be able to focus on sexual activity. While not for everyone, it is possible to use acupuncture to help relieve problems that cause FSD. If you already get acupuncture, speak to your therapist about the sexual problems you've been experiencing and see what specific treatments they may be able to perform. Yoga, in general, is a great way to increase your flexibility and balance, and can reduce stress and tension. There are even yoga poses designed specifically to improve sexual functioning. If you were looking for a way to increase your level of physical activity anyway, consider giving yoga a try.

Summary: Open the lines of communication with your partner. Increase the amount of foreplay before sex. Use a lubricant. Get a sex toy. Reduce the amount of alcohol you consume. Stop smoking. Take better care of yourself. Consider acupuncture. Take up yoga.

If you have your brain concentrate on a moderately difficult activity, it might stop causing the hiccups. If you have been drinking, you might have to concentrate a little harder, but in this case that might actually help. Try one of these tasks: Count backwards from 100. Say or sing the alphabet backwards Do multiplication problems (4 x 2 = 8; 4 x 5 = 20; 4 x 6 = 24; etc.) Say each letter of the alphabet and a word that begins with that letter Normally, we don't think about breathing. If you concentrate on it, however, it might help end the hiccups. Try holding your breath and slowly counting to 10. Try inhaling through your nose as slowly and as deeply as you can, then exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat this several times. If there is an abnormally high level of carbon dioxide in your blood, your brain will focus on this, and the hiccups may stop. You can increase your bloodstream's carbon dioxide level by breathing abnormally: Hold your breath as long as you can Breathe deeply and slowly Blow up a balloon Breathe into a paper bag You might try bending over as you drink, or drinking from the far side of the glass. Since this is an unusual way to drink, you will have to concentrate not to spill the water. The distraction might help end the hiccups. Make sure that is only water that you are drinking and not alcohol, which can cause hiccups. Being frightened is a good way to take you mind off of something, including hiccups. If you are really scared by something, your brain might focus on that rather than the hiccup reflex. For this to work, you will need a friend to helpask them to leap out of the darkness or jump around a corner when you least expect it.

Summary: Try counting or other rote activities. Focus on breathing. Increase the amount of carbon dioxide in your bloodstream. Drink water in an uncomfortable position. Have someone scare you.

Sketch a circle that's as large as you want the lion's head to be. Then, draw a half-circle on the top of the circle off to 1 side. Make another half-circle on the opposite side. These will be the ears. Since you're making a cartoon, you can exaggerate the size of the lion's nose. Draw a horizontal line in the center of the circle and make it as long as you like. To make this into a triangular-shaped nose, draw a "V" coming down from the ends of the line. You can keep the triangle pointed or round the edges to make a smoother looking nose. Place your pen or pencil at the bottom point of the nose and draw a curved line like a half-circle at the bottom of the straight line. Make the half-circle curve up in both directions. The upward curves will make your lion look like it's smiling. To make your cartoon lion look whimsical, add 2 or 3 horizontal lines going away from each side of the face. You can make the whiskers as long as you like. If you're drawing a female lion, you might want to leave out the whiskers but make dots above the mouth. Decide how large you'd like the lion's eyes to be and make 2 circles halfway between the nose and top of the head. Leave a gap that's the size of 1 eye in between the eyes. Shade in most of the circles, but leave 2 tiny dots to represent the pupils. Make the eyes as expressive as you like. You could leave the circles very simple or sketch eyebrows and eyelashes, for instance. Create a scalloped edge around the lion's entire head. To make a large mane, leave a wide gap between the mane and the face. Skip this step if you're drawing a female lion. Sketch 2 lines from the bottom of the mane that curve down towards the center. Make 2 paws at the bottom and bring the lines back up to make the lion's legs. Then, make 2 taller legs that stick out from the sides of the lion so it looks like the lion is sitting on its haunches. Keep in mind that you won't see most of the lion's body in this position. To draw the paws, make 3 half-circles in a row. Draw a thin line coming from the lion's back leg and make it curve up. Sketch another parallel line to make the thin tail look 3-dimensional. Then, add a bushy circle at the end of the tail. If you prefer, draw the tail so it curves around and lies in front of the lion on the ground.
Summary: Draw a circle for the lion's head and make 2 half-circles for ears. Sketch a triangular nose in the middle of the face. Draw a curved mouth coming down from the nose. Make 3 long lines extend from the side of the face to create whiskers. Draw 2 circular eyes in the top half of the lion's head. Add a bushy mane around the head if you're drawing a male lion. Draw the lion's legs if you want to show it sitting on its haunches. Make a tail that sticks out from 1 side of the lion. Finished.
