younger women are finding them very virile and excellent lovers? Why do older men think ladies over 50 are past it, when younger men of any age are finding beautiful mature women intriguing,

Sex and Dating in a singles world Shannon, Ceo of Perfect Partners and a renowned relationship coach and matchmaker, finds it very interesting that people in general are ageing more graciously than ever before! Last month we wrote about the Silver Fox syndrome of younger women fancying older men, and the same can be said for the ladies, as the Cougar syndrome is well recognised too! What is the wicked perception that older men 'don't have lead in their pencils anymore' when younger women are finding them very virile and excellent lovers? Why do older men think ladies over 50 are past it, when younger men of any age are finding beautiful mature women intriguing,
sexually versed and very competent in the seduction stakes‌.especially in the singles world! Are there other compensations, or even psychological or pathological reasons behind this? We would love to hear our reader's views! Of course, there are very happy couples in mature same-age groups that enjoy fabulously loving and rewarding relationships, enjoying an excellent sex life, well into old age! Is the quality
sport or a means to an end and then maybe will never matter! Find your ecstatic state being! Happy loving and fabulous relationsh to you all, much love and light until next time!
of sex between a same-age couple who have grown together over decades, much deeper than just physical attraction? These couples have something very precious and are no longer titillated by just the 'visual' or the preening and prancing antics of courting singles – but seem to have found real soul mate love! Even some birds and animals mate for life, and seldom take another mate if one dies, what is the secret that nature knows that humans do not? I believe we should love with all our heart, use sex as an expression of deep devotion, not as a sport or a means to an end and then maybe age will never matter! Find your ecstatic state of being! Happy loving and fabulous relationships to you all, much love and light until next time!

AS THE YEAR DRAWS TO A CLOSE... November is the month during which we are inevitably constantly reminded in various ways that the current year will soon be drawing to a close. Invitations to year end functions arrive; Christmas decorations go up in the stores; carols are played ad nauseam in elevators and shopping centres; Facebook spreads jokes about the number of shopping days left ... and more. It is with some wonderment each year that I observe the almost panicked pace at which everyone ‘hurries up’ in order to ‘slow down’ as year-end draws closer. More so as the envisaged ‘slowing down’ is
often an illusion for those juggling work; shopping; entertaining; cooking and negotiating around the family dynamics that so often emerge alongside the expectation of being ‘happy’ and ‘festive’. Instead of falling into the same old traps this year, perhaps these last weeks can be handled differently, with less pressure, more genuine enjoyment, gratitude and grace. My late mother-in-law used to say that the Festive Season is about family; relationships; spending time together with those we love and giving thanks for our journey together so far - a time of pause, rather than that of heightened activity.
With this in mind, perhaps it would be a worthwhile exercise to fill the weeks leading up to Christmas, calmly and deliberately thinking about the value of each of our relationships - what they mean and for what we are most grateful. Rather than rushing out to buy gifts or throwing ourselves into parties, maybe each of us could consider writing a note of gratitude to those we love for being in our lives; sharing what makes them special, and investing in the recall, acknowledgment and relishing of the memories that our history together has made. No one can foretell the future.
Nobody knows who will still be at our side this time next year. All we have is the present; the greatest gift of all. The upcoming weeks offer an opportunity to create a gift of timeless giving, irrespective of what the upcoming New Year brings. Use them wisely.

Get your Skin in Top Condition It is official - the silly season is upon us once again and calendars are filling up with parties requiring us looking and feeling our best. To ensure a glowing, smooth complexion accompanying us to the line-up of events it is essential not to leave treatments to the last minute. The following treatments will leave skin in top condition:
Dr Bianca le Feuvre Dr Bianca Le Feuvre is a GP with a special interest in Aesthetic, Anti-Ageing & Cosmetic Medicine who joined the Skin Renewal team in March 2010. She is based in Cape Town and works between the Claremont, Cape Quarter and Constantia branches. She is a member of The Aesthetic and Anti-aging Medicine Society of South Africa.
Silhouette Soft Suspension Sutures Lifting Technique The insertion technique of this treatment which is ideal for those who wants a lift without surgery - has been refined over the years. Improved lifting results are seen when three sets of 8-Cone Silhouette threads are inserted mid-face. Dermaquest C-Infusion Peel This peel, known as an antioxidant powerhouse, revitalizes the skin while removing sluggish cells. Dull and lifeless skin particularly benefit from this peel. Three peels over a nine-week period are recommended.
Jett Plasma Skin Tightening Treatment This non-ablative treatment gently stimulates deeper lying cells responsible for making collagen, elastin and Hyaluronic Acid. Initially a number of consecutive treatments are required after which time results can be maintained by having a treatment with your monthly facial, where you can target specific ageing areas, such as the eyes, mouth and cheeks. No Pad Eye Cream by Matriskin This topical cream treats large fat pads under the eyes through lipolysis. These pads have been tricky to treat in the past, but the Phosphatidyl Choline found in this medically tested product, along with a number of antiageing ingredients allow for fantastic results, in an area normally treated in a clinic. To find out more about the treatments above, or to see what specials Skin Renewal has on offer over this period, contact Skin Renewal on 0861 7546 72 (SKIN SA) or visit www.skinrenewal.co.za
