- If he has sex with me it means he likes me.
- I need to show him how good it is.
- If he doesn’t get it from me, he’s going to get it from someone else.
- I need to see if we are sexually compatible.

How to Cultivate the Right Mindset [10:28]
Relationships are a human need and men really want them. Taking the time in the early stages of a relationship to see if a man has the emotional qualities you are looking for will give you the opportunity to explore the sexual connection.
To get what you want, you have to talk about it and ask for it.
Bringing Sexy Back [18:02]
Everyone wants to feel sexy. But, often we have things that hold us back from feeling fully into our sexuality. Amber offers some tips women can use to get comfortable with their bodies and their sexuality.
Many women believe that men have certain expectations around sex because some have felt the pressure to have sex at some point in their lives.
But, sex will never create security in a connection. So, if you are looking for a long-term commitment, leading with sex doesn’t give you the emotional security you need for long-term happiness.
