Since you might be engaging more in masturbation these days, this is the time to take your time and switch up your masturbation style. The thing about masturbation is when we get into our masturbation routine, we tend to do the same things over and over again because we know it works.

When pursuing a serious relationship with someone, you must have the same values. I tell this all the time to my clients. For some reason, it might get ignored for several reasons: you love the person, you’ve invested a lot of time into the relationship already, you want to have children with them, everything is perfect except for that, etc. But the struggle is real.
