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.
