My VERY PERSONAL Story

Artistic Expression: Copia Sculpture

***Caution! This true story of our intimate reawakening gets very personal… you have been warned.***

I lovingly created the program, “Revive Her Drive,” out of my own personal marital struggles with Tim (my hubby of 21 years). After about 5 years we were like friends – co-habitating, raising our daughter – but we’d lost our sexual intimacy.

Sex had become mechanical. Sporadic.

In retrospect, I was dying for touch, connection, sensual joy and my man’s PRESENCE.

But somehow, over time, I had turned a cold shoulder to him.

I dunno.

I guess I got bored.

Same-o, same-o. Needed spicing up but we didn’t realize it and we simply drifted apart sexually.

We were both miserable but it didn’t register for ME that it was because we’d stopped having juicy sex.

Tim knew.

But he withdrew, after trying quite a few things that just didn’t get me going again.

It’s embarrassing to admit all this.

But I am motivated to share my experience, because I know that the large majority of my married friends (or friends who live together for more than a few years) are secretly miserable. Whether they know it or not, they are dying a little inside every day because they are not getting the intimacy and the raw sexuality that, as humans, we all deserve.

Tim and I knew we couldn’t do any better than each other as far as spouses. All we could do was divorce and trade each other in for a “fresh model.”

We wanted to get inside, underneath, to dissect what happened to our sex life.  And fix it, if possible.

Why didn’t it get better and better the longer we were together?  Doesn’t practice make perfect?

He wanted to leave me because he was essentially in a sexless marriage. I wanted him to leave because he was checked out of the relationship.

It was a circuitous FAIL from hell situation.

But Tim and I are of the mindset that we can design our lives. That we are, in large part, in control of what happens and how we react to opposition and opportunity.

We got honest, brutally honest, with each other.

Raw honesty.

Truthiness.

WHEN is the time to come clean with your partner? When you have EVERYTHING TO LOSE.

We didn’t want to sell our house, break up our marriage, split up our crap, destroy our daughter’s childhood, cleave our family apart… but we were miserable.

So, instead, we took matters into our own hands. We tried two therapists. We healed some of my past trauma that was preventing me from being fully present during our lovemaking. And we took sex classes.

We went to a Tantra class. We learned Expanded O. We participated in multiple levels of the Human Awareness Institute’s “Love, Sex and Intimacy” program.

It was REALLY HARD for me to go to these workshops. I’d have a meltdown right before every one. Even though when I left, I felt better than ever.

We did Tony Robbin’s series, the best of which was Date With Destiny, which helped us honestly express to each other what we really wanted out of a marriage.

It was different for both of us.  Tim wanted passion and I wanted security as our top needs. (I created a workbook called Relationship Values™ and put it in Revive Her Drive for you so you can easily figure out your Relationship Values with each other.)

Through all the things we learned about each other during this process, we started to understand and support each other in a way we’d been simply too ignorant to know in the first 11 years we were together.

Sometimes you have to hit bottom. That’s where the phone with the wake up call is located, right?

The good news is, we’ve been going strong for the last five years since our “revival,” having ever juicier sex and becoming so deeply connected to each other in a soul-satisfying way that it’s made me happier than I’ve ever, ever been in my whole life.

Tim too.

Happy. Satisfied. More creative. More grounded.  He’s just GOOD.  (being well “sexed up” will do that for a guy, ya’ know?)

When our friends saw our transformation, they were impressed, to say the least.

Jealous too.

“I want what you guys have!”

“You two are the model for the kind of relationship I want.”

“What’s your secret?????”

It was simple. We worked on having good sex together. Through trial, education and honesty.

We worked on my resistance issues… I thought sex was pretty boring, so we spiced it up. We put a lot of effort into arousal and engorgement, by practicing Expanded Orgasm (we now sell a couples program called Expand Her Orgasm Tonight because it had such a powerful effect on making our sex feel so good together.) I dealt with some abuse from my childhood that had always driven a wedge between me and sexual abandon. I put a lot of energy into increasing my sexual skills and knowledge.

He worked on his masculinity within our relationship. If you know us, I’m a steamroller and he’s Mr. Easy Going. With a powerful wife on his hands, Tim had to learn how to be dominant in the bedroom. Sexual leadership is impossible for a guy if his woman controls the sex.  I let go. He took up the mantle.

He also honed his sexual skill set, his seduction techniques, his Expanded Orgasm stroking mastery and our energetic, intimate mental connection.

We “did the work.”

And saw the results.

When I think back five years ago to how we used to make love (stiff and quick) and what our relationship was like then (feeling separate, almost abandoned in our own marriage) versus NOW that we have skills and honesty that keep our connection burning like a bright, oxygenated fire, not a flickering flame, a dying ember or tiny spark.

Life just feels easier, richer, more gratifying.

The work we’re doing together (like producing and marketing Revive Her Drive) and our marriage together are rewarding.

We have ease together.

It’s

I wanted to bottle up our solution and say, “Drink me!” to all my married friends.

If we can do it, you can do it too. You can have what we have.

That’s when I got on this idea of putting my money where my mouth was.

I’d create a step-by-step revival program for my friends and customers.

But I’m not a therapist. And you’d have to have thousands of dollars and a lot of time to go to all the workshops we attended in our return to sexy love.

So I decided to create a program where I’d get the best advice from my favorite experts and package it up into a step-by-step revival program anyone could follow.

I focused on men. They feel the lack of sex more than women. They are more motivated to fix this problem.  Biology dictates that the longer woman goes without sex, the less she cares. Yet the longer a man goes, the more it bothers him. (typically, not absolutely)

I conducted nearly 50 intimate interviews with men.

I fielded over 600 online surveys.

I read nearly 50 books on love, sex, seduction and intimacy in relationship.

And I chose the dozen specialists I believed had a diversity of approaches and advice for creating a systematized plan any man could use with any woman who filled the following criteria:

==> You are healthy (no major mental or physical disorders that would require a medical professional).
==> You did, at one time, have a good sex life.
==> You don’t want to cheat or divorce, you want to have great sex and intimacy with the woman you have NOW.
==> You are willing to agree that it is not YOUR fault, not HER fault and can let go of any resentment, frustration, anger, blame – lose any negative resistance and move toward a solution.
==>  You are self-determined. Willing to learn a solution and try it.

And I wanted to create the turn-around plan in a way that a guy could start DOING and BEING a different way in the relationship to move her toward her sexuality, even without telling her he was doing it.

Sometimes it’s easier to get a little positive momentum, some good results, before you bring up the painful issues of a sexless or sex-lite problem.

Who wants to go poking that hornet’s nest unless you have to?

With Revive Her Drive, you can turn-around your sex life without any conversation! (My goal is for her to one day just start desiring you again sexually.)

The positive female psychology seduction strategies are things you just do.  And she responds.

So I made sure there was a Stealth Turn-Around option so more men would try the program.

And when I interviewed my dozen experts, I distilled their advice into clusters and saw the pattern…

There are Four Elements of Revival.

Polarity – the guy needs to lead so she can surrender to his sexual vision (that may sound sexist, and it’s NOT, as you’ll see).

Overcoming Resistance – why is she holding back? There are nine typical reasons and sometimes she has multiple reasons that change from day to day. So we teach you how to defeat these demons.

Seduction Techniques Built on Positive Female Psychology – the stuff you guys try backfires. I show you what women respond to.

Advanced Sexual Mastery Skills – women need variety and trust to hand over their nervous system to you. Want more sex? Become an erotic genius by knowing the most important concepts that help her feel delicious and have plenty of orgasms so she’ll want you again and again.

Then I assessed all the research and in-person interviews and realized there are four common scenarios that happen in relationships that blow up the sex.

So I applied these Four Elements of Revival to fixing those four unique situations.

And I’m sure you’re thinking right now that your situation is worse, or totally unique, or not like the others.

Well, darling. Trust me. I think I gotcha close enough here that you can find your way back with this plan. Hell, I don’t care. Just cherry pick stuff outta the product and give it a shot.  That’s going to be more efficacious than what you’re doing now.

You are in control. Not I.

You decide to take action. You decide to trust me. You decide that your sex life, your intimate world, your relationship could be waaaaaay better and make your move.

You may prefer to go see a marriage counselor.

Or try a heart-to-heart with your lady and figure it out together.

Or you could give Revive Her Drive a chance.

I know you will gain valuable insights, impressive wisdom and sexy nuggets to use.

And I know that if you listen to the interviews you’ll feel:

  • less alone
  • more positive
  • more hopeful
  • more knowledgeable
  • inspired.

Alex Allman’s riff on lifelong passion may bring you to tears and it will move you.

Sheri Winston’s giggling soliloquy on erectile tissue and ‘loving the Yoni you have’ is a priceless reminder that we are just silly creatures making the most of our time on earth and we’d better go for it.

Destin Gerek’s moan track is singularly and humorously unique. He teaches us how to make noise during sex that sounds so macho and hot if you only did THAT she’d probably want sex with you every night.

So much of what we captured here brings the zest and fun back into a situation that oftentimes is filled only with exasperation.

I notice that a lot of single men buy our advanced sexual mastery programs in preparation for the hot woman they seek. They want to be amazing lovers whenever they get the chance.

I wonder if married guys will take Revive Her Drive just to enhance their seductive skills in a relationship where the sex is already good?  I bet so, because I could have just as easily positioned the product toward getting MORE sex, instead of getting SOME better sex.

But I told you, my mission is to help other couples get to where we are now, with a plan they can follow, instead of feeling their way through the dark by themselves, wondering if they are doing the right things, guessing at next steps, not understanding the macro-concept of how to revive a flagging sexual relationship.

Phew.

That’s my story.

And my vision for you is that you will buy Revive Her Drive. You’ll listen to the fascinating, motivational, educational interviews with my dozen specialists answering the question, “What can a man do to restore his sex life, even take it to new levels of pleasure and connection when it’s gone downhill over time and she doesn’t seem interested, even shuts him down?”

The program is launching in just a few days. I’ll be sending you some free samples over the next few days and a link to a special offer within the week.

Will you keep your mind open? Consider this?

Read my emails? Pop open the ebooks for a quick peek?  Listen to the audio sampler I’m going to send you?

Send me an email if you have any questions about the product or about how it works or how it can work for you.

And if you are reading this, thank you. I know it took a few minutes to get here and I’m appreciative of your time and consideration.

If I can help you, will you please give me the honor of allowing me to support you?

With Love,
Susan Bratton

  1. Thanks for the reminder…a close friend of mine reminds me constantly that it’s all in the journey. It is easy for me to fall into that trap. It is how I used to live. It’s that place where you are missing the moment and always living to get to the next place. Not a good way to live. You miss out on life that way. Yeah, I needed that reminder. Especially with regard to my relationship with my wife. Thanks; you talk my language. I appreciate that.

  2. First off I can not believe there are no comments on your story. For a guy like me the story gives the power to any lesson. You learn what to do and what not to do by someone telling their story. It could be a success or even a failure story. Regardless, the story delivers the message. This is true even in the Bible. I have an opinion that the reason the story works so well is that at least for me when you say YOU NEED to do this…..my mind closes off. But when you say hey here is the experience, here is what happened (strength) and here are the results (hope). I listen. Case and Point…..You said kiss her eyelids…..I said to myself yeah right…..I resisted…now; thankfully I have been trained to take successful people’s “models” and do what they suggest regardless of how I feel. So I chose to do it anyway. The results???? She loved it! Now she sometimes lines up for it lol. This also happened with the foot massage suggestion. I thought why the hell would she want me to rub her feet? I did it and she liked it. As a matter of fact it indirectly led us to our first sensual massage that evening. We used avocado oil as you suggested….I was ready with the oil and had told her I was going to ask her to take part in a sensual massage no strings attached several weeks ago….I am grateful you chose to do this work and share it with others. I have seen so far that there has not been one instance….NOT ONE….where you have misguided me and or where wrong. I pulled out the relationship values workbook I did with my wife as I read your story and reviewed what we wrote and about fell over when I double checked it….guess what my top value is and guess what my wife’s top relationship value is? Passion and Security. Is there irony in that or is there a natural occurrence that is common in a vast majority??? I have had 100% success with RHD to date. NO, We are not having squirting orgasms or even expanded orgasms…YET….but just little things I can see are present…weird shit is happening now….like one night she asked me to sleep with her on the sofa bed. I reluctantly said yes just because she asked and it was something different. Actually? I hate that sofa let alone the bed. I have not remotely indicated that to her since we got that sofa 6 months ago which is a miracle in it self. I have shut her down for so many years she has been afraid to ask me to do anything…..cuz we always did what I wanted. So we had a great night of holding each other on a shitty sofa bed which I got so so sleep. She loved it. She said she slept great….my take away was that I got to hold her. That lights me up! My further interpretation of this request is that she does want to have sex in other places! She just doesn’t know it yet. (Phil smiles) That’s the shred of hope I get out of that from the sexual stand point, and then I see the emotional growth part that is for me; so far, better than the sex….So I go back to my soap box that I have to remind myself that this stuff takes time and there will be stumbles and I will have to go back (as I already have) and re-listen and try something different and repeat repeat repeat. My story so far is that fantastic things have happened in the little over a months time I have been with RHD. I was shocked how fast the turn around was although I am currently at a resistance point. So I have to go back and rework in that area. Your story inspires me to keep going. Unfortunately for me, I get frustrated quickly and feel like its not working and this frustration can occur very quickly ….and I need the story repeated over and over that tells me yes this does work…LOOK AROUND YOU. I have been blessed with a gift of being able to find the tiniest bit of shred of hope in the most negative of circumstances. However, when the negative circumstance applies to me, it is all that more difficult for me to see, and I struggle. So back to the story I go. What examples can I find whether it is passed or present that I can tell someone or share with someone that will help them. Often when I share my story I find myself helping myself more than I have helped them. That is the beauty of it. As I am learning, this is how love works also. Of course there is love in telling your story….because if you tell your story you obviously care…and if you care there is love inside you somewhere…..I would love to hear more of your story (without being intrusive). Don’t take this incorrectly but when you shared how you would cry before going to your sessions I liked hearing that. It shows struggle with willingness, courage, faith, and love. Strength and perseverance are shown by you going anyway. So yeah that’s good stuff. I feed off stuff like that. It gives me willingness, courage, faith, and love Strength and perseverance in seeing that YES you can do it because someone walked that way before you. For me it gives the power to get up and go do it and stay with it no matter what. In addition, even more so I would love to hear Tim’s story. One of the first things I thought I would see in RHD was a interview with who else but the man that helped you. Anyway Susan…..I go back to saying Thank You again. THANK YOU FOR PASSING OUT IN THE NAME OF GOOD SEX! LOL. RHD is taking me to a new level of existence. I am using this program in conjunction with other self help program(s) I have been using for the last 10 years. It is truly an answer to my prayers. <——That is a fact.

    1. Phil,
      I really appreciate your updates and I do get a LOT of comments back on Our Personal Story, but they come in the form of email replies. Our story does touch a cord with people. Tim and my MISSION is to help other couples see their way clear to a deeply intimate, passionate relationship. And there are always stumbles in any relationship, even a great one. It’s truly the journey vs. the destination strategy that makes for a solid, love-filled, sensual relationship.
