The Best sex is ....S-P-I-C-E
Men and women often feel challenged by the experience of having to abstain from genital sexual activity. SPICE has many positive elements, which can broaden your concept of human sexuality. Couples who abstain from genital activity can develop the broader aspects of their relationship.
Sexuality is not just about the physical act of making love, it is also about giving and receiving as males and females from the mind and heart. A holistic sexual expression includes Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Communicative/ Creative and Emotional dimensions, i.e., SPICE
SPICE brings many benefits to male and female relationships:
• Self Control
• Self Discovery
• Self Esteem
• Personal Growth
• Selflessness
• Mutual respect
• Happiness
• Preparation for Life
Examples of SPICE are as follows:
• Spiritual -supporting each other/ praying together
• Physical -hugging/holding hands
• Intellectual - reading together, sharing hobbies
• Communicative/ Creative - discussing family issues, planning outings together
• Emotional - sharing feelings, hopes, aspirations
If you are not in a physically intimate sexual relationship....SPICE may be just what you are looking for to bring your relationship to "The next Level". Spice can be the making of a lasting relationship that may possibly be destroyed by sex.
