Massage evenings in Sydney will be held on the last Monday in July, August and September for Body Electric graduates. Please contact Bob Moore for more details on 0402 111222. All graduates of Body Electric workshops are welcome. These are a great opportunity to reconnect with men in a loving supportive way and to give and receive touch.

Men Massaging Men Evening Sydney – experience touch in a safe and honouring way.

For all those men who want a taste of what Body Electric offerswe are having our first Men Massaging Men night on Friday 24th August. CBE Graduates are invited to bring a friend and/or partner along to this event to experience some connection and touch with other men. The objective is to provide men who have not necessarily completed a CBE Workshop with the opportunity to experience some connection and intimacy in the company of other men.

Please contact Bob Moore for more details on 0402 111222.

Our second graduate reunion for participants of previous Body Electric workshops is being held at the Rainbow Retreat centre on the central coast near Wyee. The graduate reunion will be held on 30 Nov-1 Dec.

Some inspired thoughts from the Dalai Lama Enjoy!

I N S T R U C T I O N S  F O R  L I F E

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three R’s:
   Respect for self,
   Respect for others and
   Responsibility for all your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great relationship.
7. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
8. Spend some time alone every day.
9. Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
11. Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.
14. Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.
15. Be gentle with the earth.
16. Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.
17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

Article: Low Sex Drive 
John R. Ballew, M.S., L.P.C.

Men are supposed to want sex all the time, right? 

That’s what a lot of men believe.  The idea starts at puberty with talking about sex in high school locker rooms.  It continues later in life when we come out and start exploring gay culture, which looks like a big sex party to a lot of men.  Gay, bi or straight, men are all about sex, all the time.  As one authority on male sexuality has put it, the myth is that men are supposed to be “two feet long, hard as steel and able to go all night.” 

Does that describe you?  Maybe not.  What if you enjoy sex…but not as much as everyone else around you seems to enjoy it?  If your sex drive is lower than average, you may wonder what is wrong with you.
