Let's talk about sex....
Sex, for many of us, is not the easiest thing to talk about. But it's a wonderful way to turn toward your partner, and it's a great opportunity to create more intimacy in your relationship.
If you're hesitant to talk about sex with your partner, then start small. Try discussing non-sexual intimacy. Do you like to cuddle or hold hands? How does your partner like to be touched? In what ways do you find each other attractive?
Then, if you're ready, you can move into discussing sex:
How can we create comfortable and regular ways to discuss sex?
How to initiate sex? How to say yes, or no?
What are your partner's preferences, needs, and desires?
What are yours? How can we make sex a priority?
And if you're feeling a bit more open and adventurous, then you can start talking about new fantasies that you and your partner might like to try.
The most important thing here is to become attuned to your partner's sexual needs. And remember, don't judge, blame, or criticize. Romance, passion, and good sex only thrive when there's an atmosphere of safety, warmth, and understanding.

Further important update to all Neighbourly members
Dear Neighbours,
We wanted to update you with what we have uncovered in regards to the potential Neighbourly data breach which we were alerted to on Thursday January 1.
Over the past few days we have worked to understand whether our members’ data had been accessed without authorisation and, if so, the extent of the breach.
We have now confirmed that there was a breach of some data from our registered users. We are now satisfied that the breach was quickly contained, and we have restored the Neighbourly site and services.
Our investigations have shown that there was unauthorised access of Neighbourly data, which included our registered members’ names, email addresses, GPS coordinates, forum posts and member communications. It did not include passwords but some publicly advertised event and business addresses were included.
Following best practice, we will look to seek a court injunction against any use of the material.
We want to apologise to our members for this occurrence and any concerns it may have caused you over the past few days. We have, of course, addressed the issue that allowed the theft to occur, and we are satisfied that the site is secure for use by all of our members. We will work closely with all our staff to ensure we have the most robust processes in place to prevent it from happening again.
Thank you to our members who contacted us over this period and for the understanding you have shown as we work through the complex issues associated with cyber theft.
