Whatever your sexuality, it is likely you will rate confidence pretty high
up on your list of attractive personality traits. Sexual confidence is like
a magnet; it will draw people to you, and not just potential lovers but
new friends and professional contacts. Hiding one's charms under a blanket
of modesty or nerves is more likely to put people off than attract them
- others will pick up the signal that you have something to hide rather
than that you are shy. Unlike in Jane Austen's era, these days we don't
have the time to court each other with lengthy and impressive letter-writing
or the suggestive wave of a fan on a chaperoned walk. We have to display
our confidence, but make sure we do it in ways that are not going to come
over as too overbearing or desperate.
Sexual confidence is about more than being able to attract someone. It is
also about being happy in our own company, and not thinking that we have
to spend every moment of our free time with a partner because we aren't
valid as a single unit. If we feel happy with ourselves and are able to
enjoy the quiet times to explore our own interests rather than worry about
our love lives, we will find that we have more to offer our lovers when
we are with them. We will glow with zest and vitality and attract people
to us as if we were the proverbial ray of sunshine. It is important to spend
quality time on pampering yourself at least one evening a week, replenishing
your batteries and making sure you get enough rest so that you have the
energy when you need it. On this note, having good sleep is one of the best
things we can do to ensure sexual happiness. Our libido levels suffer if
we regularly get less than seven hours sleep per night.
