This way of thinking extends to penile size as well. Big men are most likely to have slightly bigger penises, although, contrary to popular belief, there is no correlation between the size of a man's nose or feet and the size of his organ. Does it really make any difference when you're having sex? For Samantha X, it matters - a lot. "Sure it matters - I've had some massive members in my time, and I really enjoyed them! I find that the bigger the penis, the greater the feeling." In fact, a woman who doesn't prefer a bigger-than-average penis is more of an exception rather than the norm. While men's penis come in various colors, shapes and sizes, a study conducted by the Alfred C. Kinsey Institute for Sex Research has shown that the average penis size is anywhere from 5-7 inches. Size does not matter - to a certain extent - in order bestow a physical sensation upon a woman. "I once slept with a guy who had a stub for a cock and I couldn't feel anything. I ended up going into the bathroom and satisfying myself - a situation I don't care to repeat." The heart of the matter is that most women don't like very small penises, whatever is done with them. A small, slender penis is not very rewarding in itself and many women complain that they 'can't feel anything,' especially if their vagina has previously been stretched by having children. That does not necessarily mean that length-challenged men cannot be good lovers, but that penis size alone probably is not going to do it. Research has confirmed that what most women want is a bigger-than-average penis, but what is really important is width rather than length. They say the ideal penis is one which is thick enough to stretch the woman's vaginal opening and which can be felt inside their body, each time they have sex. "I would rather sleep with a guy who has a thick member than someone with a thin, reedy schlong that hits my cervix every time he penetrates me." Similarly, most of the 200 women interviewed representing all ages (over 18), sizes, ethnicities, and sexual habits opted for girth (or the circumference) over length, as they claimed to enjoy the feeling of a thick penis rubbing against their vaginal walls rather than having an unusually long penis poking against their insides. When it comes to racial preferences, Samantha had this to say: "I've noticed that African-Americans are really well-endowed as compared to other nationalities. They also seem to be much more confident in bed knowing that they have the right size package." One's ethnic group does produce significant anatomical differences among males. For instance, black men are indeed bigger than Caucasian men, but only by half an inch or so, on average, while Asian men are about half an inch smaller on average. All these information just show that women are turned on and satisfied by a large, thick, and powerful penis, not to mention they are visually stimulating as well. Women such as Samantha know how to appreciate well-endowed men, or even those just think they are, since they are usually much more sexually confident about their sack skills. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/8463862839748995405/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=8463862839748995405&isPopup=true' title='55 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/8463862839748995405'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/8463862839748995405'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2009/01/why-she-likes-big-penis.html' title='Why She Likes a Big Penis'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>55</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-8663693442631159618</id><published>2009-01-10T20:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-10T20:54:18.728-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Male Insecurity and Jealousy</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">So, you finally got the girl of your dreams. She's fine-looking and sexy. She's definitely a catch! Every time you go out, other guys are checking her out. So, you hold her closer, have a protective arm around her, and cast steely "Don't you mess with my girlfriend" stares at the other guys. You closely watch her every move and feel a pang of jealousy and insecurity, even at times when it is not the least bit warranted. You constantly call her up to check up on her or count the seconds before she answers your call. You've been too paranoid too many times whenever she says she's out with her girl friends or co-workers, or if she's meeting up with a high school sweetheart or an ex-flame. You instantly erupt in jealous rage at the mention of past loves. You feel trapped by your insecurity and direct your energy to over protectiveness and jealousy instead. So, you try to buy her time and attention by overwhelming her with the prettiest flowers, wonderful gifts, expensive dinners, and luxurious holidays. You want to control and have the upper hand in the relationship. You utilize the possess-and-isolate tactic on her. You always make excuses for her to be always with you, or to be available at your beck and call. Her girl friends are exasperated with you and upset at how possessive you are. So where does all this insecurity and jealousy spring from? You may have bad experiences before regarding relationships and loyalty, and you ensure that it doesn't ever happen again. In turn, you intensely guarantee that you are the sole object of her desire. Male insecurity has also been known to directly correlate with a deficiency in the size of the male member. Many men are bothered that they are not big enough or they're not gonna please their ladies with their current size. This probably explains the thriving and often lucrative business that is penis enlargement. Another reason may be about money or resources. Many guys feel disdain, oftentimes envy, towards other men who are better off than themselves. With more money, you could probably spend lavish gifts for your girl; and with more presents, you think you make yourself highly desirable and attractive. Men, just like women, also need to be liked. They want to be respected, adored, and esteemed. They want to be feel important and special to someone. They want to be loved and needed. So, how would you rein in your insecurity and keep your jealousy in check? Take time to do a self-assessment. Improve your looks and learn new things. Go to the gym, join sports club, or enroll in short courses like foreign languages, arts, or even acting. More importantly, is the measure of trust and loyalty that you and your girl have for each other. Don't let your insecurities cloud your judgment and ruin your relationships. Treat her with respect as much as you would want her to do the same for you. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/8663693442631159618/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=8663693442631159618&isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/8663693442631159618'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/8663693442631159618'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2009/01/male-insecurity-and-jealousy.html' title='Male Insecurity and Jealousy'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-5178365932749938344</id><published>2009-01-10T20:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-10T20:53:27.136-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Types Of Soap To Use</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">Dermatologists recommend washing the face with soap twice daily, the body once daily - and the hands as often as necessary to keep them sanitary. How do you know which soap is right for you? Soap used to have a bad reputation because of the inclusion of harsh detergents, which stripped oil from the skin. However, that is no longer the case with all soaps anymore. Before we discuss what skincare routine to follow, you need to know your skin type. To do so, look at your face in a mirror in natural daylight (i.e., outside or near a window) and observe the various areas of your face. In general: Oily skin is shiny - especially along the T-zone (the forehead, nose and chin areas), where oil glands are most prevalent - and tends to break out with pimples. If you have large pores, these may also indicate oiliness. Dry skin feels tight and dehydrated and pores may be very fine. It may also look flaky, and has a rough, papery texture. Normal skin has a uniform texture and tone that only occasionally break out in spots. Combination skin has oily and dry patches: It may be shiny/blemished along the T-zone and scaly around the cheeks. Once you have determined your skin type, you use this information to pay attention to your specific skincare needs. If your skin is oily and/or acne-prone, select soaps that contain salicylic acid -- a skin-sloughing beta hydroxy acid that keeps pores unclogged. Similarly, choose products with the pimple-drying ingredient benzoyl peroxide. For dry skin, stick with gentle, super-fatted soaps, many of which contain up to one-third moisturizers. Pure glycerin soap will also help your skin retain moisture. However, avoid deodorant soaps, which can dry your skin even further. Those with sensitive skin should opt for hypoallergenic soaps, and avoid perfumed, antibacterial and deodorant soaps, which can be irritating. Try to use very little soap, do not scrub too hard, and make sure to rinse well with cool water (warm or hot water can be drying). People with normal skin have plenty of options: feed your skin with plant-based soaps, lather up with triple-milled soaps or use a gentle face bar soap that is non-comedogenic (won't clog pores). Those suffering from windburned, sunburned or chapped skin can calm it with soap rich in soothing glycerin and aloe vera. As much as possible, avoid bars with overpowering fragrances since they can irritate the skin further. Even when you're partying until the wee hours of the morning or pulling overtime at the office, it's essential to cleanse your face thoroughly before you hit the sack. Ideally, you should wash your face twice a day, put on toner, and moisturize immediately after cleansing your face. By removing makeup and daily grime from your face daily, you can avoid clogged pores and breakouts. However, we don't live in a perfect world and there will be times when you just want to slip into your bed and forget about your beauty ritual. When you're too tired or there isn't that much time to conduct your full facial regimen, you can save time and effort by using a multipurpose cleanser that'll strip away dirt, oil, and even hard-to-remove makeup like waterproof mascara all at once. You can also try using disposable cloths that you simply moisten (to activate the built-in cleanser) and smooth over your face to lift away the day's dirt. There are plenty of ways to protect and beautify your face, and establishing a regular beauty regimen is one of them. Start one today and your skin will thank you for it. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/5178365932749938344/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=5178365932749938344&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/5178365932749938344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/5178365932749938344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2009/01/types-of-soap-to-use.html' title='Types Of Soap To Use'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-4828279540786234731</id><published>2009-01-10T20:51:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-10T20:51:59.582-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Anatomy of the Vagina</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">Both men and women have an internal and external region for their genitalia. This article focuses on the internal and external anatomy of the vagina which can be considered as one of the most interesting and exciting organs that can be found in the female body. Contrary to what most people think, the vagina is not the first thing that you see in the female genitalia. As we begin from the outside, the outermost part of the female genitalia is the vulva. This is usually covered by the pubic hair which grows from the tissue called mons pubis, although some women or girls prefer to shave their pubic hair. Pubic hair aside, the next part that you will be seeing is a lip-like appearance which most people call the outer lips. These outer lips are really known as Labia Majora and contain fatty tissues that enfold the vulva from the mons pubis to the perineum (an opening that tears during childbirth). The Labia Majora contains sweat and oil glands that emit a certain scent which most people claim to be sexually stimulating. Next to Labia Majora is another set of lips called the Labia Minora or the inner lips that protects the clitoris, urethra, and the vagina. As you go deeper, you can find a small, oval shaped part of the vagina called the clitoris or the "clit." This part is adjoined to the labia and seems to be hooded by skin. This small portion of the vagina contains numerous nerve endings that are very sensitive and this one small part contributes a very great deal, since its main function to bring sexual pleasure to women when touched or stimulated. Just below the clitoris is the urethra, which is an opening where the urine passes through. The urethra is not a part of the women's reproductive system and is much more connected to the bladder although it is located near the rest of the vaginal parts. The opening to your vagina is covered by a thin membrane or tissue called the hymen. The intact hymen has been a symbol for virginity and is very thin and sensitive. It can be torn by rigorous activities or through penetration of the penis, vibrators, dildos, and so on. Another opening in the female genitalia is the perineum which is a stretch of skin that goes up to the anus and is where infants come out during labor. The internal parts of the female genitalia are the vaginal canal where the penis passes through during sexual intercourse and goes to the cervix. The vagina's size can expand and contract to make way for the size of the penis. The Bartholin's glands and the hymen glands excrete fluids which serve as lubricants during sexual arousal to keep the vagina moist. Next is the uterus or better known as the womb where the fetus grows in and held there during pregnancy. On both sides of the uterus are the fallopian tubes where the fertilization of the ova (egg) takes place. These eggs are produced in the ovaries which is another part of the vagina. Aside from ova production, the ovaries are responsible for the production of estrogen and progesterone or the female sex hormones. All of these parts make up the vagina which is the female species' vital organ in reproduction and copulation. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/4828279540786234731/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=4828279540786234731&isPopup=true' title='27 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/4828279540786234731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/4828279540786234731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2009/01/anatomy-of-vagina.html' title='Anatomy of the Vagina'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>27</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-2209485457743238482</id><published>2009-01-10T20:48:00.002-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-10T20:51:04.732-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Male Infertility</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">There are some couples who just can get pregnant after many attempts within the span of one year. When the problem is identified to be with the man, it is referred to as male infertility. According to statistics, male infertility accounts for a third of reported infertility cases. A man is diagnosed to have male infertility when there is a problem with his ejaculation or his sperm count. Ejaculation is when semen is released through the penis during orgasm. When the man can properly release semen to get the woman pregnant, he can be suffering from: erectile dysfunctions, premature ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation (wherein the semen is pushed back into the bladder), or complications from surgery or radiation therapy. A low sperm count (or no sperm at all) may be caused by severe mumps infection, hormonal disorder, hereditary factors, or infections. It can also be triggered by wearing tight or restrictive underwear, excessive use of tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs, and exposure to radiation or poisonous chemicals. A man sperm may also be abnormal, which is said to be malformed and has a short life span. Thus, the sperm couldnt swim correctly. This is brought on by abnormal development or inflammation of the testicles and swollen veins in the scrotum. This condition heats the inside of the scrotum and may critically affect the sperm production. If you have concerns regarding male infertility, you should see a doctor immediately, especially if you tried getting pregnant for already a year. A physical examination may pinpoint the exact or underlying problems that may be causing the infertility and treat them early on. The examination would take into account your medical history, a culture of fluid from the penis, a blood test (to check for hormone problems or infections), and a semen analysis (to check the number and quality of sperm). More testing may be necessary, depending on the results. You may be wondering if male infertility may be treated. Of course, it can be. In fact, more than 50 percent of male infertility cases can be remedied. Treatment by conventional methods may help the couple get pregnant through normal sexual intercourse. There are medications, antibiotics, and hormones that a man can take to help in sperm production, get rid of infection, or aid in hormonal imbalance. Also, you can try wearing loose clothing like boxers or avoiding hot tubs, saunas, and long hot showers. Other treatments are also available, though these may be invasive or too expensive. This includes in vitro fertilization, artificial insemination, and use of sperm donor. In vitro fertilization involves the fertilization of the couples sperm and egg in a laboratory and placing the fertilized egg inside the females uterus. Artificial insemination, on the other hand, involves the collection of sperm and manually placing it inside the fallopian tubes or the female uterus to facilitate conception. A donor sperm can instead be acquired if there is no sperm production at all or there are other functional problems with the mans sperm. Generally, male infertility caused by an illness or genetic problems cannot be prevented. Although, there are different ways and means that you can do to reduce the chances of having infertility problems. One way is to avoid drugs, alcohol, and other poisonous substances.

Many guys are concerned with what their semen tastes like. This may rise from the fact that they want to score blow jobs. First of all, you can stress to your partner that semen will not make a person fat. It contains only about 12 to 15 calories per ejaculation; the same amount found in gelatin or egg white. Some people say that semen tastes bitter, salty, or even acrid. So for loads of exciting fun in the bedroom, you can make your partner swallow your cum if you make your cum taste better. Since semen is excreted by the body, its taste and smell would most likely be affected by what you eat and drink. What is the best diet for better-tasting cum? For one, you should start living a clean and healthy lifestyle. Say no to alcohol, drugs and nicotine. Avoid junk foods and instead have lots of fruits and greens in your diet. Plus, drink a lot of liquids (water). Drinking fruit juices from pineapple, citrus, and cranberry is also known to make your cum taste sweeter. Throw in melon, mango, apple, or grape, and other fruits that are high in sugar. Likewise, vegetables like parsley and celery are recommended. There are also some foods that you should steer clear of. Fish and red meat produce a bitter, fishy taste because of their alkaline content. Chemically-processed alcohol can also make your semen taste bitter. Instead, try naturally fermented drinks for a change. Garlic and onion are likely to produce strong odors since they are high in sulfur; so lay off on these. A better-tasting semen is good; but having extra loads of better-tasting semen is better. The volume of your load depends upon a number of concerns, including age, heredity, and general health. We practically can抰 change our age and genetics, but we could instead make dietary adjustments. There are various supplements that you can take like zinc oxide, Horny Goat Weed, L-Arginine, L-Lysine which are supposed to boost quantity of your load. By simply increasing your fluid intake, you can increase the amount of your ejaculation. When your body is well hydrated, your body systems are able to work more efficiently and have less trouble getting water from the bloodstream. The most important to remember, though, is to keep yourself healthy and fit. Regular exercise encourages good blood circulation, which in turn, aids ejaculation. Also, refrain from wearing tight clothing especially in the crotch area since it can decrease sperm count. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/4526442186970442758/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=4526442186970442758&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/4526442186970442758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/4526442186970442758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2009/01/your-semen-and-you.html' title='Your Semen and You'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-1521415212240237717</id><published>2009-01-10T20:47:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-10T20:47:52.776-08:00</updated><title type='text'>How to Shave Your Balls?</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">Why shave? Well, there are myriad of reasons to. But mainly, men just want to show off their genitals in full view -- minus the fuzz. Besides, shaving makes your member look bigger. Without your pubes, an extra 2 inches of your meat is exposed. A clean crotch is also very tempting for a nice blowjob. The act of shaving itself is a highly erotic act which you and your sweetie can share. What do you need? For starters, you will need razors and shaving gel. Use a brand new razor; do not even bother with electric shavers, or else?And do not use shaving cream that you use for your face; get one which is for sensitive skin or for feminine use. Gather up your things and proceed to the bathroom. Better trim the longer hair first before you go about it to make the work much easier for you. Wash up the area with warm water and lather it up with shaving gel thoroughly. How do you go about it? You can start by shaving off the part above your member. Remember to shave against the grain (bottom to top); it will give you the closest, smoothest shave. Gently pull down your penis so that you can go about the area much easier. Then, pull it on either side so you can get into the corners. Now, you抮e ready to do your scrotum. Stretch out the skin as you gently work your razor with equal strokes. You can reach the area under by pulling your entire package -- shaft and all -- up against your lower belly. Feel the skin and shave the area that you may have missed. Voila! You have just made your package look bigger. Now, why haven抰 you thought of this sooner? Remember to shave gently and focus on what you抮e doing (turn off the basketball/football game) to avoid any unwelcome accidents. But while you抮e at it, you can also shave the adjacent area on the top of your legs, or maybe your underarms and your chest. Rinse off with a nice body wash and give your pubic area (and maybe your chest and your body) a good lathering and wash off any stray hair. You can also use body scrubs to remove off dead skin cells which causes itching. Dry off by patting the just-shaved area with a clean towel or cloth. Wear boxers for proper ventilation. To alleviate the itching, apply some lotion, baby powder, or anti itch cream. No need to do this everyday; maybe once or twice a week. Now, you can try it out on your girl and see if she can notice the extra inches you have just gained! </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/1521415212240237717/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=1521415212240237717&isPopup=true' title='27 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/1521415212240237717'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/1521415212240237717'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2009/01/how-to-shave-your-balls.html' title='How to Shave Your Balls?'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>27</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-4546210706188677028</id><published>2009-01-10T20:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-10T20:43:43.459-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Curing Impotence</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">Impotence is a man's inability or difficulty to have or maintain an erection. Although a lot of physical causes may be attributed to impotence, there are also psychological factors that lead to it. Some of these can be depression, stress and pressures about home or work, anxiety, relationship problems and arguments, insecurities and a low self-esteem, and even sexual boredom and the loss of intimacy. These problems can be addressed as psychosomatic problems since these situations are affected by psychological factors or the emotion. When this is the case, then there are very high chances of curing the impotence. It may sound difficult at first, especially if you do not want to resolve the problem or you fear it, or worse is that you are unaware of the situation. However, when you have accepted that there is a problem and there is a need to work on it, then you can try different ways to treat psychosomatic impotence by using psychology as well. One does not need to turn to medications or surgery right away. One treatment that you can undergo is Psychosexual Therapy. In psychosexual therapy or psychotherapy, the man and his partner are given techniques or exercises to help them renew their intimacy, sexual relation, sexual interests, and arousal. This can be done through talks, discussions, and activities that can lift the stress or anxiety that hasten impotence. Another cure for impotence can be behavior modification. A new and positive outlook about one's self, performance, and even his partner can bring about change and improvements. Behavior modification can really take time, but it is also cheaper and does not only help cure impotence, it also improves one's personality. To do this, here are a few suggested tips: . Do a little reality check including a check on your personal situation and your present situation with your partner. What do you really feel about yourself, your member, and your partner? . Talk with your partner to make things easier and lighter. It lifts up your burden and at the same time you are confident that there is someone who listens to you. If your partner is the one that's putting the strain on you, all the more that you should talk. Ask what your partner wants, say what you want, and come into a solution. You have to speak up and work things out together without turning into an argument. . Your lifestyle is very important and it affects your penile health a great deal, so do a check on your lifestyle. Just like taking care of the rest of your body, you should also take care of your penis. Trim down your fat, alcohol and nicotine or tobacco intake. Eat healthier and try to do some exercises. If possible, get into an exercise program or visit the gym regularly. . If you still have more concerns, then it's time that you should seek professional advice from a trained therapist or doctor. Remember that you should not be ashamed of your situation and that you are not the only one suffering from it. Your health and a sound mind are much more important so you should do something about it. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/4546210706188677028/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=4546210706188677028&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/4546210706188677028'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/4546210706188677028'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2009/01/curing-impotence.html' title='Curing Impotence'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-4883259138344692593</id><published>2009-01-10T20:40:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-10T20:42:27.632-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bigger Looking Penis</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">The penis may come in different lengths and thickness; it even comes in different shapes. However, there are some people who are overweight that see their penises have become smaller. It did not get smaller; it's just that the body's size has grown to overpower the penis. Losing weight doesn't make your penis bigger or increase in size. Although, it can make your penis and scrotum "look" bigger when you shed off some fat, especially in the thigh and belly area. It will create an appearance that your penis is more protruding and that it is more visible with the reduction of those fatty tissues blocking the view. Sometimes, being overweight or large is not just the reason for having a seemingly small penis. Temperature and sexual libido also makes the penis "alive" or not. When you are not aroused or when you feel cold, your penis wouldn't stand up or enlarge, giving the impression that it is small. You can also opt to remove some of your pubic hair to see your penis. Keeping a trim or well toned body can really add on to your self esteem and confidence about your penis. You don't necessarily need to jump into medications or devices to make your penis big, you can start with a lifestyle check and some improvements to improve your penile health and appearance. Now with regards to your diet, there are a lot of weight loss programs that you can get into. In fact, your eating habits or eating lifestyle contributes a great deal into losing weight. Skipping meals won't do you good but eating healthier while doing some physical exercises can help shape you up. You can start by seeking advice from a health care professional and a nutritionist. Keep a relaxed mind together with your body and little by little you will see changes with your well being and with your outlook on that buddy of yours. When losing weight, you should remember that cutting down on the calories can be a big help. If you can't totally cut down on the eating, you have to increase your physical activities. It would be better if you can do both but do it gradually. It wouldn't do you any good if you get into those fad diets or crash diets. Try looking for a program that suits you and it should be something that you can stick to. Maintenance is very important and once your dieting has started to take effect, it doesn't mean that you should stop immediately. In fact, doing them regularly until they become a part of your system helps give you an assurance that you can stay fit and that your penis isn't getting any smaller. When it comes to your diet, take in less fat like oily or salty foods and sweets. Try taking in more servings of fruits and vegetables, since they are rich in vitamins, fiber, and water making you feel full. Eat a decent portion of meat and carbohydrates and cut down on the alcohol, caffeine, and cigarette consumption. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/4883259138344692593/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=4883259138344692593&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/4883259138344692593'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/4883259138344692593'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2009/01/bigger-looking-penis.html' title='Bigger Looking Penis'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-6386529499673641156</id><published>2008-07-03T09:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-03T09:18:26.855-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bad Sex Can Ruin a Relationship!</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">Somebody once said that sex is like pizza -- even when it's really bad, it's still pretty good. However, those of us who have experienced bad sex know that it is quite a different story. Indeed, in some situations, a case of bad sex can ruin a relationship! Of course, sex isn't going to involve fireworks every single time. Even the happiest couples experience a dismal round of intercourse every now and again. But if you are routinely having bad sex with your partner, something is certainly amiss! A satisfying sex life is the right of every adult, so if your partner is leaving something to desired, you need to take action. Here are three tips to get you started on the road to passionate and fulfilling sex: Sizzle, don't fizzle: The first step is to discover why you and your partner aren't meshing in the bedroom. Does he skimp on foreplay? Is she passive and bored during the act? These are delicate topics, but rest assured, they can be addressed. Do so with respect and delicacy. Try couching your complaint inside a compliment, such as "I have been thinking about us making love all day. Let's enjoy foreplay before we rush into it." Or, "I love when you are vocal about your pleasure during sex. It really turns me on." Most couples want to please each other in the bedroom, so once they hear what really turns you on, you won't need to tell them twice! Bring your "A" game: Unfortunately, when people feel as though their partner is disinterested or disengaged from sex, they too will begin to disengage and lose interest. However, once this occurs, the sex life is doomed to failure! If you want your partner to be a pro in the bedroom, you need to become a pro too. Initiate a new position, confess a fantasy, and indulge in a little erotica together. If you want to turn up the temperature in your sex life, you need to be the one who brings the heat! Let go of perfection: Most of us have received our sexual expectations from the media. Whether it is Cosmopolitan, romantic comedies, or adult flicks, we all have certain expectations about what "should" happen in the bedroom. Unfortunately, the media is rarely realistic when it comes to sex. Sex can't always involve hours of foreplay, champagne, and silk sheets. Sometimes it has to happen first thing in the morning while the kids are still in bed, sometimes it has to happen when the house is messy and your legs aren't shaved, etc. Whatever the case, it is time to ditch the perfect image of what we believe sex "should" be. Once you lose the shackles of expectations, you can begin creating your own version of your perfect sex life! </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/6386529499673641156/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=6386529499673641156&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/6386529499673641156'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/6386529499673641156'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/07/bad-sex-can-ruin-relationship.html' title='Bad Sex Can Ruin a Relationship!'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-5983582459448975878</id><published>2008-07-03T09:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-03T09:09:26.952-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Poor Decisions - Learn From Miley Cyrus Mistake</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">Disney popstar Miley Cyrus is currently embroiled in a firestorm of controversy for racy photos which she posed for in the latest issue of Vanity Fair. Whether or not your tweens are fans of Hannah Montana, you no doubt felt a little startled by the blatant sexualization of this fifteen-year-old star. (Some of the pictures included her seemingly topless and posing in an unmade bed.) Miley Cyrus's parents (both of whom have been very vocal about their Christian morals) should never have allowed their young daughter to pose for these scandalous pictures. Her parents were on set throughout the day and saw the shoot in question, thus it is uncalled for them to try to cast all blame on the photographer or the magazine. As parents,we have the responsibility to guide our young children's decisions, even when it comes to self-expression and sexuality. Research has shown that young teens do not have a fully developed frontal cortex (which is the part of the brain that is responsible for decision making and judgment), so even if a teen's body is fully developed and ready for sex physically, that doesn't mean that she is ready emotionally or mentally. Another interesting development which came from this controversy was the number of people who have condemned Miley for these photographs. Her heartfelt apology aside, Miley does not deserve a tarring-and-feathering just for showing a little skin. Teenage girls have to walk a very fine line when it comes to what is appropriate and what is not appropriate for their age. Teenaged girls receive appreciation and admiration from older boys and men for their bodies, yet they are also simultaneously told that they are not fully adults. This mixed messaging is very confusing and can result in a quasi-sexual, quasi-childlike state, leading young girls to try to "play" at being adult women, even though they are not at all ready for the ramifications of their actions. However, not all is lost. When poor decisions made by celebrities take over the news, parents can use the controversy as a "teachable moment" in which they discuss what is appropriate and what is not appropriate with their children. The "sex" talk should not be limited to just one conversation, as children and teens need ongoing guidance and reminders about making the right decisions. Keep the communication lines open with your children and let them know they can always come to you with questions and concerns. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/5983582459448975878/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=5983582459448975878&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/5983582459448975878'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/5983582459448975878'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/07/poor-decisions-learn-from-miley-cyrus.html' title='Poor Decisions - Learn From Miley Cyrus Mistake'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-5062506748746368880</id><published>2008-07-03T09:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-07-03T09:04:16.716-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Flags That You're Headed for a Breakup</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">When it comes to breaking up, hindsight is 20/20. But wouldn't it be nice if you could tell that you and your partner were headed for a falling out before it happened? Fortunately, you can predict a break up. And with just a little bit of tweaking, you can get back on track and rescue your relationship before it hits the rocks. Red Flag #1: Tuning Out One of the most common reasons relationships fail is because one or both partners is tuning out. It might sound minor, but in actuality, few things are more hurtful than being ignored by your loved one, whether that is accompanied by emotional neglect or physical distance. The Cure: Take Down the Wall Tuning back in is easy. All you have to do is agree to listen to your partner's feedback and dedicate time and emotion to the relationship again. Start taking down the emotional wall, brick by brick. Look at your partner in the eye when he or she speaks (even if it is not what you want to hear), make physical contact daily (even if it is just holding hands), and re-commit to the relationship. Red Flag #2: Fighting Fire with Fire Couples who fight fire with fire can expect a relationship that is constantly up in flames. Name-calling, sarcasm, criticism, and violence (from throwing things, slamming doors, to actual physical abuse) result in emotional wounds that are hard to heal and relationships that are hard to rescue. The Cure: Pour Water on the Flames The next time you feel anger guiding you to say, or do, things you might regret, take time to cool off. If that's not possible, try framing your complaints as requests. For instance instead of, "Why did you forget our date?," you could say, "I feel sad that you forgot our date. How can we make sure this doesn't happen again?" If your partner is the one who is fanning the flames, don't engage in the vicious cycle of insults and tantrums. You can't fight fire with fire if the other person won't engage in the flame-throwing. Red Flag #3: Refusing to Own Up No one is perfect, so why is it that some of us refuse to take responsibility in our most important relationships? Passing the buck and playing the victim are surefire ways to put a relationship in jeopardy. The Cure: Take Responsibility for Your Actions The next time you forget an anniversary, or say something hurtful to your spouse, don't try to pass the buck and refuse to take responsibility. Instead, admit where you went wrong and try harder next time. Sounds simple... but it can save your relationship. By making simple changes to the way you and your partner communicate, you can keep your relationship intact. All couples fight and argue, but it is how you fight and argue that determines whether your love can weather the storm. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/5062506748746368880/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=5062506748746368880&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/5062506748746368880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/5062506748746368880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/07/flags-that-youre-headed-for-breakup.html' title='Flags That You're Headed for a Breakup'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-1099063863370055427</id><published>2008-06-20T06:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-20T06:47:46.613-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Set yourself free from the bad boy habit</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">Have you gone out with more than one bad boy in the last year? Are you in an on-again off-again relationship with a bad boy? If so, you may have a bad-boy habit that needs to be broken. Set yourself free from that bad boy with these five steps: 1. Write a list of all the bad things he has done to you. Women tend to get short memories when it comes to all the terrible ways bad boys treat them. They don't want to think about it. But if you decide to break the bad-boy habit, you need to force yourself to think about it! Write down a list of all the downright mean things he has done to you. If he cheated on you and lied about it, write it down. If he stayed out until 3 a.m. without calling you, write it down. Anytime he made you cry, write it down. Here is the best part -- put the list up on the wall next to a picture of him, so you associate his face with all the awful things he has done to you. He doesn't seem so attractive now, does he? "If he stayed out until 3 a.m. without calling you, write it down." 2. Stop having sex with him. A lot of times women will keep bad boys in their life way too long. This prevents you from meeting other people. And if you do meet someone else, you are not going to give him a fair shot. By continuing to have sex with the bad boy, you are prolonging the chemistry you feel for him. And then you wonder why you don't feel attracted to the nice guy who just asked you out. It's because you've got all your hormones wrapped up in Mr. Bad. 3. Realize that nice isn't boring. Nice guys often get the label of being boring, and the problem is it's not true! The truth is that the bad boys are the boring ones because they are so predictably bad. It's easy to predict that if you get back together with him for the third time, he is going to flirt with other women right in front of you. It's easy to predict that he is going to make you feel unattractive and miserable in a day or two. There are no surprises in this type of relationship. Yet, the nice guy is liable to surprise you with a DVD of your favorite movie when you are sick or a fabulous compliment when you are feeling down. Now, that's exciting! "The truth is that the bad boys are the boring ones because they are so predictably bad." 4. Ask yourself why you keep going for the bad-boy type. If you keep allowing yourself to get involved with bad boys, there is a reason and you need to start to dig deep for it. Maybe you have become addicted to drama. Maybe there is abuse in your background so you keep going toward what is familiar to you. Maybe you are not sure what the qualities are that you should be looking for in a man. Take time to self-reflect about it, educate yourself about it, and think about seeing a therapist to help you along the way. 5. Remember bad boys really are bad! For some women, the idea of the bad-boy type has an allure. For a split second it may seem sexy and fun. What they don't realize is that bad boys are going to treat you bad and it's not sexy or fun! There is a big difference between the bad-boy fantasy and the reality of having a relationship with one. The actual relationships are harsh and mean and they don't change. Stop falling for the fantasy. Instead, fall for a real, good guy! "Maybe there is abuse in your background so you keep going toward what is familiar to you." </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/1099063863370055427/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=1099063863370055427&isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/1099063863370055427'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/1099063863370055427'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/06/set-yourself-free-from-bad-boy-habit.html' title='Set yourself free from the bad boy habit'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-986652003471830971</id><published>2008-06-20T06:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-20T06:35:59.588-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Does drama follow you from relationship to relationship?</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">1. When you break-up, make it for good: So much drama lies in the breaking-up-getting-back together cycle. Stomping the drama means stopping this cycle before it starts. Statements like, "If you keep going out all the time without me, I'm going to break up with you," are all wrong. Instead, let your partner know your thoughts and feelings with statements like, "It really upsets me to be left alone all the time." Then you can get into problem solving mode. No one should have to live with the constant threat of a break-up. It leaves you sick, insecure, and on edge in the whole relationship. But if you truly want to end it, make it stick the first time. 2. Learn to spot drama-prone personalities: People who like drama like attention. If someone you want to date is constantly flirting with other people, fighting with other people, and seeking the spotlight at parties or clubs, know you're likely to have drama on your hands if you decide to get involved. Also, people who seems to have a constant, steady flow of chaos in their life rather than having all their ducks in a row is usually a relationship drama magnet. 3. Stop picking fights: Believe it or not, a lot of fights get started out of boredom. Begin to notice if you and your partner are picking fights with each other on rainy days when there is nothing to do. Also, notice if fights start when you and your partner are frustrated about something unrelated to the argument. Then you can work on solving that problem, rather then creating needless drama in your relationship. 4. Learn how to say, "Game over!": If you've got a game-player on your hands, most likely you've got drama on your hands. People who are authentic, know how to communicate, and are honest about what they are thinking and feeling will leave you drama-free. 5. Take your arguments down a notch: Drama gets created when every little thing gets turned into a big crisis. "You forgot to bring the bananas home. You never do anything for me. You don't love me." Okay, time to stomp the drama. Learn to deescalate your arguments by toning down the criticism, and not making a federal case out of everything. Let some stuff go... it's likely your partner will start to do the same. 6. Find other ways to create excitement in your relationships: No doubt you are swamped with work, family, and other responsibilities in your life. So much so that you may loose touch with the things you love to do -- the things that give you joy, pleasure and healthy excitement. Take time to get in touch with the positive things that make you happy. Is it dancing, watching movies, swimming, cooking? Whatever they are, take time out to do these things with the person you are dating -- and try to come up with some new things as well. Salsa dancing lessons anyone? 7. Detox the drama addiction: Drama can be addictive. It's a rollercoaster ride of exciting highs and lows. Healthy relationships have their highs and lows, but they also have some really secure, steady no-waves moments where you can chill and breathe a big sigh of relief. If just being together without the drama isn't enough, it's time to find out why this relationship or any healthy relationship doesn't seem fulfilling -- counseling is always a good option. 8. Know that drama gets boring: After a while, all the emotional crises, all the breaking-up and getting back together, and all the hurt gets predictable and boring. Soon, your friends are going to be done with it, your family is going to be done with it, and you are going to be drained and done with it. Get over it before it starts. Stomp the drama! </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/986652003471830971/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=986652003471830971&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/986652003471830971'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/986652003471830971'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/06/does-drama-follow-you-from-relationship.html' title='Does drama follow you from relationship to relationship?'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-313275088274961734</id><published>2008-04-25T11:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-25T11:56:57.469-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sex Toys: The Cone Vibrator</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">The Cone doesn’t follow the norm when it comes to shape. The hands-free design will leave you more than satisfied. The innovative shape hits all the spots and the funky, contemporary style means you don't need to hide it away in the bedroom drawer. </div> <center> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hAnmzA2O1h8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed> </center> <div style="text-align: justify;">Sit on It! This is the cone vibrator. It is new. We first heard about the cone vibrator from the European version of Cosmo magazine. Cosmo featured The Cone in their December '06 issue. The problem was, the product is from the UK and it wasn't available here in the States. Well, we knew that we just had to get it in stock. You see, the cone vibrator is different. It is actually quite large and a person rests on it. That is right, you sit on the cone. This pink, squishy cone comfortably lets you just sit right on it. As you rest or do other things with your hands, the cone does all of the work. Inside its little brain are 16 different programs. They range from gentle vibrators to a wild sequence of pulsations. For those that like to skip to the end, the cone vibrator features the "orgasm button". Push the orgasm button and the cone vibrator skips right to program number 16 which is all business! The cone vibrator is 7 inches accross at the base and 5 inches tall. It features two buttons and an indicator light. The cone is soft to the touch. It operates on 3 C cell batteries which give it all the power you could want. Here at Vibrators.com we are very proud to offer the cone vibrator. In order to get it to you we had an advanced shipment sent directly from the UK to us. We are one of the first importers of the cone because we know you will like it. Waves of Pleasure Wow! We just got this amazing product in and it has the most powerful vibrator of ANY sex toy we sell at Femplay! A soft rubber base ensures it stays where it should, the tip of the cone is soft and rubbery. There is truly nothing like this on the market today, but of course there will be cheaper and less effective imitations that crop up before you know it! I actually think this product is underpriced for what it is. Its about time somebody came out with an innovative product that isnt just another rabbit vibrator rip off. And powered with 3 X C Sized batteries, its the most powerful vibrator we sell. I absolutely love this toy and you will too... The Cone is a new innovation in adult entertainment. Be one of the first to enjoy The Cone – the sex toy with style. The Cone doesn’t follow the norm when it comes to shape, but don’t be fooled, the hands-free design will leave you more than satisfied. The innovative shape hits all the spots and the funky, contemporary style means it doesn’t need to be hidden away in the bedroom drawer. Enjoy waves of pleasure with 16 automated programmes including an orgasm button for the less patient. Great fun to use on your own or even more fun for two. We hope you have as much fun with it as we have! Designed by Twisted Products, The Cone began life as a wooden S&amp;M chair, however, it proved to be too comfortable! By re-moulding the shape in a super-soft plastic and adding a powerful vibration motor, we found ourselves with a fantastic new toy. The shape has several benefits, its hand-free to start with and because its only moderately penetrative, some of our testers found that it seems to tighten the area in which it was being used! We are still looking into the benefits of this in muscle rehabilitation. Users noticed an increase in libido and increased sensitivity too! With a powerful 3 Volt, 3000 Rpm Gold Brush Motor, and 16 in-built programmes (which vary the vibration speed and frequency up to 30Hz), the Cone provides excellent all-round entertainment! The Cone measures a cool 135mm high with a diameter of 185mm and weighs a whopping 375g* (*Approx size/weight without batteries) CUSTOMER REVIEWS Product Review by Sally I can sum this toy up in one word: AMAZING! I’ve never owned a sex toy before and the choice is a bit overwhelming. I chose The Cone based upon its innovative design and purpose. I must admit... The Cone is quite large in proportions, I don’t think the image does it justice. This allows a strong foundation point for any actions you may wish to attempt with it. “The Cone” is designed for multiple positions, sitting, standing, crouching and anything else you can imagine. It appears to be very adaptable. I initially found it cumbersome, however after a little experimentation the cone has become an effective hands free clit stimulator that takes minimal effort for maximum enjoyment. The Cone has an easy to use interface, simply click the button to cycle up the intensities; push “The Cone” button to send it into the highest setting (also functions as the on/off switch). It creates vibrations from a low buzz, to a thumping sensation and mixes it all up in a variety of intensities. Another great feature is that it doesn’t look like anything naughty! If it is accidentally left out no one (except another owner) knows what it is... Product Review by Maddie My husband takes a special interest in supplying me with interesting and varied sex toys one of which was the cone. The vibrating surface of the cone is quite large giving a deliciously powerful vibration. The cone doesn’t look like a sex toy. It has a circular base and is cone shaped. My favourite use for the cone is to lie on my stomach on the bed with the cone between my legs. In this position the tip of the cone sits on my clitoris so that I can move my clitoris up and down and round and round on the cone while my hands are free to do other things. The sensation is delightful. Also in this position my husband can fuck me with his cock or a dong. Bliss! The cone is easy to control by feel with two raised push buttons, you can adjust the intensity of vibration and also use pulsation. The batteries last for ages. The cone is a strong solid sex toy which doesn’t break. It’s a unique sex toy for hands free orgasmic pleasure. The investment is well worth it especially for the person that buys you one. Product Review by Tessa Thought I would drop you a line about The Cone that I received today. WOW!!!!!!! I don't need 150 words to review The Cone. I only need 5. "You must buy The Cone". After receiving it today and unpacking it my first thought was "Oh my god" at the size. Then I put the batteries in and away my husband &amp; I went. After several programmes and positions later I would have to say my favourite, so far, is with me lying face down with The Cone underneath me with it between my legs. In that position my husband can fuck me and I can have the benefits of cilitoral stimulation with The Cone and my husband ramming me at the same time. It would have to be the best and most innovative vibrator I have had the pleasure of using. The Cone is so easy to use with a click of a button. The surface is smooth and flexible. What I love most about The Cone is how easy it is to use and it's hands free feature. It's a definite winner in this house and we will enjoy many more nights &amp; days with it. I think my internet usage will go down now I have The Cone. I wonder if my friends will know where I am or what I'm doing? </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/313275088274961734/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=313275088274961734&isPopup=true' title='30 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/313275088274961734'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/313275088274961734'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/04/sex-toys-cone-vibrator.html' title='Sex Toys: The Cone Vibrator'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>30</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-8910636751968070097</id><published>2008-04-25T11:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-25T11:46:39.768-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Is There More to Sex Than Fucking?</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">Penetration is one of many sexual activities. Others are oral sex, nipple pinching, butt squeezing, clit rubbing, ball tickling, breast binding, toe sucking... The erogenous activities that constitute "sex" are as varied as the people who do them. </div> <center> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/koRlFnBlDH0&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed> </center> <div style="text-align: justify;">Why does the media stick to an outdated, offensive and boring definition of sex? A study to be published next month in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, based on a survey of sex therapists, concluded that the "optimal amount of time for sexual intercourse was 3 to 13 minutes." I scratched my head on that one, until I read that "the time does not include foreplay." And then the bulb went on. Well, two bulbs went on. First, why are they using those tired, narrow definitions of "sex" and "foreplay" -- as if they were separate activities? And second, what if "intercourse" isn't in your sexual vocabulary, although you're having fabulous erotic experiences? Or if your idea of intercourse involves neither a penis nor a vagina? What's sex? This conflation of "sex" and "sexual intercourse" is as outdated an idea as the prohibition on wearing white shoes after Labor Day or the belief that birth control causes promiscuity. Let's get real. Penetration is one of many sexual activities. Others are oral sex, nipple pinching, butt squeezing, clit rubbing, ball tickling, breast binding, toe sucking and, did I say clit rubbing? The actions that constitute "sex" -- undistinguished from "foreplay" -- are as varied as the people who do them. If a couple has kissed and touched and teased and stroked and sucked until both of them are totally satiated -- but they haven't screwed -- is that not sex? If someone has a fetish -- say they are wild about stockings -- and they get off humping the silk-encased thigh of their partner -- is that not sex? What's intercourse? Intercourse isn't right for everyone and isn't required for reaching an ecstatic orgasm. Sometimes you want penetration and luckily there are a number of possible spots to penetrate with a number of body parts -- from fingers to tongue to penis -- and non-body parts -- from dildos to ben-wa balls to fruit. But the AP report on this study seems to be all about heterosexual penile/vaginal intercourse and even that is very limited and limiting. Not only do people feel varied levels of enthusiasm about such sexual intercourse at various times of their lives (or months), some people cannot perform that particular activity at all. There are plenty of reasons for this, including the thinning of the vaginal walls with age, medications that prevent strong erections, a personal safer sex guideline or simply no inclination for copulation. Don't gay and lesbian people have sex? Do their activities fit this definition of "sexual intercourse"? And the woman who drizzles lubricant in her cleavage and then presses her breasts together as her male lover pumps, is that intercourse? Does anal sex constitute intercourse? What about fisting? The article's general thrust is that you shouldn't feel bad about having such short-lived sex, since it appears to be the norm. In fact, the piece includes a promise that this study will "ease the minds" of those worried about the stopwatch. In support of low expectations, Marianne Brandon, a clinical psychologist, is quoted as saying: "There are so many myths in our culture of what other people are doing sexually. Most people's sex lives are not as exciting as other people think they are." Perhaps if the sex therapists encouraged the broadest exploration of pleasure, we wouldn't have to resort to measuring such a narrow notion of sex. Separating "foreplay" from "sex" is as logical as separating tea from water. It's in the mix that we find the thrill and satisfaction. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/8910636751968070097/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=8910636751968070097&isPopup=true' title='18 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/8910636751968070097'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/8910636751968070097'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/04/is-there-more-to-sex-than-fucking.html' title='Is There More to Sex Than Fucking?'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>18</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-6135338752858475336</id><published>2008-04-25T11:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-25T11:29:31.004-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Is Vaginal Orgasm the Exception?</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">Why do some women have orgasms solely from vaginal stimulation? The answer is they probably aren’t. It's that the labia minora are formed in such a way that vaginal penetration actually causes the labia to rub against or gently pull on the clitoris. Could This Revolutionize Sexual Intercourse? One of the biggest misconceptions people have about female orgasms is that they are all created equal. The truth is that not all orgasms are the same: they may all be equally pleasurable but they are generally arrived at through different means. Basically, there are two types of female orgasms: vaginal and clitoral. Vaginal Orgasm This type of orgasm was the only type Freud and other men of his time felt to be legitimate types of sexual pleasure for women to experience. Unfortunately for women, only about 20% can receive an orgasm through vaginal stimulation alone. The other 80% need something a little extra. Before we get into that, let me explain exactly what we mean by vaginal orgasm. A vaginal orgasm occurs solely because of stimulation of the vagina. That stimulation is usually in the form of the thrusting of the male penis during vaginal intercourse. The reason most women do not receive an orgasm just from penetration is that the vagina is not a highly sensitive area. This is actually a good thing. Remember that the vagina is not just used for sex but also for delivering babies. If the inside walls of the vagina were made up of concentrated nerve endings like we find in the nipple, the clitoris, or the penis, then childbirth would be even more difficult for women. In fact, only the first two inches of the vagina are sensitive at all. So why do some women have orgasms solely from vaginal stimulation? The answer is they probably aren’t. Women who report vaginal orgasms benefit from their anatomy. In some women, the labia minora are formed in such a way that vaginal penetration actually causes the labia to rub against or gently pull on the clitoris. This, not vaginal stimulation, is leading to the orgasm in most cases. Technically, however, this would still be considered a vaginal orgasm because there is not direct stimulation of the clitoris. Another reason why some women report having vaginal orgasms is that the shape of the penis and their preferred position allow for stimulation of the G-spot. Because the G-spot is linked to increased pleasure and may also induce orgasms, this is another possibility worth considering. The bottom line here though is that vaginal orgasms are not common. Men and women need to realize that penetration is often not going to be enough to accomplish the goal. The good news is that gives both partners an excuse to experiment with some new things and ideas! Clitoral Orgasm By far the most common way for a woman to regularly reach orgasm is through direct or indirect clitoral stimulation. First, let me share with you some information about the clitoris. The clitoris is located just by the vaginal entrance and behind the labia minora. In most women, it is a small nub of flesh which contains a high concentration of nerve endings which make it highly sensitive. It is often covered by a clitoral hood. Many people don’t realize that only a small portion of the clitoris is actually visible. The remainder of the organ is surrounded by the rest of the reproductive system and extends all the way to the bottom of the pubic bone. Two things are particularly interesting about the clitoris. First, all female mammals have a clitoris. This is interesting because the sole purpose, at least according to biologists, of the clitoris is sexual pleasure. That would seem to mean that humans aren’t the only ones who enjoy the way sex feels. Second, the clitoris is made from the same material as the penis. In fact, in men the clitoris becomes a full-fledged penis after the embryo is exposed to testosterone in the womb. Just like the penis, the clitoris fills with blood and becomes erect during sexual arousal. The clitoral hood is essentially the same as the foreskin of a penis. The only real difference between a clitoris and a penis – besides location in the body – seems to be that the penis is also used for urination while the clitoris is not. With that said, it’s important to realize that the clitoris is really similar in size to the penis, even though most of it cannot be seen. Vibrations through the pelvic region caused by intercourse could stimulate the nerve endings in the unseen part of the clitoris as well and this can also cause orgasms. What many people don’t realize about the clitoris is that the penis alone usually cannot stimulate it. Because of its position in the woman’s body, the ability of the penis to provide rhythmic stimulation to the clitoris is extremely difficult. That means traditional intercourse usually needs to be coupled with clitoral stimulation. The question is how does one engage in clitoral stimulation. Some male partners take the approach that the women should be responsible for the stimulation themselves, which has always seemed a bit unfair to me since the woman is providing him with the stimulation he needs to reach orgasm. However, this is one way to deal with it. Another method is by, what I like to call multi-tasking. Multi-tasking basically means the man does more than one thing at the same time. For example, he may be penetrating the vagina while also stimulating the clitoris in one way or another (we’ll discuss those ways a little later). If the couple wants to achieve orgasm at or near the same time, this is clearly the best option. Other couples I’ve met with have resorted to an alternative approach. One person reaches orgasm at a time. Depending on how each person best reaches orgasm, this may be a possibility but it’s usually not the most satisfactory approach. The best thing about clitoral orgasms is that they can be achieved in many different ways. Because the entire area is highly sensitive, experimenting with these types of orgasms can also add some interest and spice to sexual relationships which may have become less enthusiastic over time. And the key is experimenting because different women prefer different types of clitoral stimulation. While some prefer direct stimulation, others find it uncomfortable and prefer to have the area around the clitoris stimulated instead. Women who have masturbated will generally have a much better idea of what type of stimulation they prefer than women who have not. So, bottom line: Please understand: there is NOTHING wrong if your woman requires clitoral stimulation besides penetration to reach an orgasm. And actually, it IS more fun! Once you understand this fact, you´ll both start to get more “creative” in bed. And trust me, she will NOT be frustrated anymore! </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/6135338752858475336/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=6135338752858475336&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/6135338752858475336'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/6135338752858475336'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/04/is-vaginal-orgasm-exception.html' title='Is Vaginal Orgasm the Exception?'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-8207003422472991392</id><published>2008-04-25T11:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-25T11:18:06.735-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sex, Sexual, Sexuality: It's Arousal Time</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">In contrast with men, both heterosexual and lesbian women tend to become sexually aroused by both male and female porn, thus having a bisexual arousal pattern.

In other words, men's sexual arousal patterns seem obvious. But a new Northwestern University study boosts the relatively limited research on women's sexuality with a surprisingly different finding regarding women's sexual arousal. In contrast to men, both heterosexual and lesbian women tend to become sexually aroused by both male and female erotica, and, thus, have a bisexual arousal pattern. "These findings likely represent a fundamental difference between men's and women's brains and have important implications for understanding how sexual orientation development differs between men and women," said J. Michael Bailey, professor and chair of psychology at Northwestern and senior researcher of the study "A Sex Difference in the Specificity of Sexual Arousal." The study is forthcoming in the journal Psychological Science. Bailey's main research focus has been on the genetics and environment of sexual orientation, and he is one of the principal investigators of a widely cited study that concludes that genes influence male homosexuality. As in many areas of sexuality, research on women's sexual arousal patterns has lagged far behind men's, but the scant research on the subject does hint that, compared with men, women's sexual arousal patterns may be less tightly connected to their sexual orientation. The Northwestern study strongly suggests this is true. The Northwestern researchers measured the psychological and physiological sexual arousal in homosexual and heterosexual men and women as they watched porn videos. There were three types of video: those featuring only men, those featuring only women and those featuring male and female couples. As with previous research, the researchers found that men responded consistent with their sexual orientations. In contrast, both homosexual and heterosexual women showed a bisexual pattern of psychological as well as genital arousal. That is, heterosexual women were just as sexually aroused by watching female stimuli as by watching male stimuli, even though they prefer having sex with men rather than women. "In fact, the large majority of women in contemporary Western societies have sex exclusively with men," said Meredith Chivers, a Ph.D. candidate in clinical psychology at Northwestern University, a psychology intern at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and the study's first author. "But I have long suspected that women's sexuality is very different from men's, and this study scientifically demonstrates one way this is so." The study's results mesh with current research showing that women's sexuality demonstrates increased flexibility relative to men in other areas besides sexual orientation, according to Chivers. "Taken together, these results suggest that women's sexuality differs from men and emphasize the need for researchers to develop a model of the development and organization of female sexuality independent of models of male sexuality," she said. The study's four authors include Bailey and three graduate students in Northwestern's psychology department, Chivers, Gerulf Rieger and Elizabeth Latty. "Since most women seem capable of sexual arousal to both sexes, why do they choose one or the other?" Bailey asked. "Probably for reasons other than sexual arousal." Sexual arousal is the emotional and physical response to sexual stimuli, including erotica or actual people. It has been known since the early 1960s that homosexual and heterosexual men respond in specific but opposite ways to sexual stimuli depicting men and women. Films provoke the greatest sexual response, and films of men having sex with men or of women having sex with women provoke the largest differences between homosexual and heterosexual men. That is because the same-sex films offer clear-cut results, whereas watching heterosexual sex could be exciting to both homosexual and heterosexual men, but for different reasons. Typically, men experience genital arousal and psychological sexual arousal when they watch films depicting their preferred sex, but not when they watch films depicting the other sex. Men's specific pattern of sexual arousal is such a reliable fact that genital arousal can be used to assess men's sexual preferences. Even gay men who deny their own homosexuality will become more sexually aroused by male sexual stimuli than by female stimuli. "The fact that women's sexual arousal patterns are not all predicted by their sexual orientations suggests that men's and women's minds and brains are very different," Bailey said. To rule out the possibility that the differences between men's and women's genital sexual arousal patterns might be due to the different ways that genital arousal is measured in men and women, the Northwestern researchers identified a subset of subjects: postoperative transsexuals who began life as men but had surgery to construct artificial vaginas. In a sense, those transsexuals have the brains of men but the genitals of women. Their psychological and genital arousal patterns matched those of men -- those who like men were more aroused by male stimuli and those who like women were more aroused by the female stimuli -- even though their genital arousal was measured in the same way women's was. "This shows that the sex difference that we found is real and almost certainly due to a sex difference in the brain," said Bailey. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/8207003422472991392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=8207003422472991392&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/8207003422472991392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/8207003422472991392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/04/sex-sexual-sexuality-its-arousal-time.html' title='Sex, Sexual, Sexuality: It's Arousal Time'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtvsECQZCitStepioGfjjzrn8rXykLIoMZfv9sfpXelvH9gTKx2uxvGqKz9kXtf8XtCGLdKD09wXEF8CaZmb-zexp0Et5YiPfprcI5gE0iMEGq1vqqA3CuxwKaTB_whPlPmfPXduFhfJk/s72-c/sex_seduction_cunnilingus.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-7914785387625188237</id><published>2008-04-25T10:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-25T11:10:55.412-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Female Orgasm"/><title type='text'>Female Orgasm - What's Its Evolutionary Function?</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">Women do not routinely have orgasms during sexual intercourse.

Evolutionary scientists have never had difficulty explaining the male orgasm, closely tied as it is to reproduction. But the Darwinian logic behind the female orgasm has remained elusive. Women can have sexual intercourse and even become pregnant - doing their part for the perpetuation of the species - without experiencing orgasm. So what is its evolutionary purpose? Over the last four decades, scientists have come up with a variety of theories, arguing, for example, that orgasm encourages women to have sex and, therefore, reproduce or that it leads women to favor stronger and healthier men, maximizing their offspring's chances of survival. But in a new book, Dr. Elisabeth A. Lloyd, a philosopher of science and professor of biology at Indiana University, takes on 20 leading theories and finds them wanting. The female orgasm, she argues in the book, The Case of the Female Orgasm: Bias in the Science of Evolution, has no evolutionary function at all. Rather, Dr. Lloyd says the most convincing theory is one put forward in 1979 by Dr. Donald Symons, an anthropologist. That theory holds that female orgasms are simply artifacts - a byproduct of the parallel development of male and female embryos in the first eight or nine weeks of life. In that early period, the nerve and tissue pathways are laid down for various reflexes, including the orgasm, Dr. Lloyd said. As development progresses, male hormones saturate the embryo, and sexuality is defined. In boys, the penis develops, along with the potential to have orgasms and ejaculate, while "females get the nerve pathways for orgasm by initially having the same body plan." Nipples in men are similarly vestigial, Dr. Lloyd pointed out. While nipples in woman serve a purpose, male nipples appear to be simply left over from the initial stage of embryonic development. The female orgasm, she said, "is for fun." Dr. Lloyd said scientists had insisted on finding an evolutionary function for female orgasm in humans either because they were invested in believing that women's sexuality must exactly parallel that of men or because they were convinced that all traits had to be "adaptations," that is, serve an evolutionary function. Theories of female orgasm are significant, she added, because "men's expectations about women's normal sexuality, about how women should perform, are built around these notions." "And men are the ones who reflect back immediately to the woman whether or not she is adequate sexually," Dr. Lloyd continued. Central to her thesis is the fact that women do not routinely have orgasms during sexual intercourse. She analyzed 32 studies, conducted over 74 years, of the frequency of female orgasm during intercourse. When intercourse was "unassisted," that is not accompanied by stimulation of the clitoris, just a quarter of the women studied experienced orgasms often or very often during intercourse, she found. Five to 10 percent never had orgasms. Yet many of the women became pregnant. Dr. Lloyd's figures are lower than those of Dr. Alfred A. Kinsey, who in his 1953 book "Sexual Behavior in the Human Female" found that 39 to 47 percent of women reported that they always, or almost always, had orgasm during intercourse. But Kinsey, Dr. Lloyd said, included orgasms assisted by clitoral stimulation. Dr. Lloyd said there was no doubt in her mind that the clitoris was an evolutionary adaptation, selected to create excitement, leading to sexual intercourse and then reproduction. But, "without a link to fertility or reproduction," Dr. Lloyd said, "orgasm cannot be an adaptation." Not everyone agrees. For example, Dr. John Alcock, a professor of biology at Arizona State University, criticized an earlier version of Dr. Lloyd's thesis, discussed in in a 1987 article by Stephen Jay Gould in the magazine Natural History. In a phone interview, Dr. Alcock said that he had not read her new book, but that he still maintained the hypothesis that the fact that "orgasm doesn't occur every time a woman has intercourse is not evidence that it's not adaptive." "I'm flabbergasted by the notion that orgasm has to happen every time to be adaptive," he added. Dr. Alcock theorized that a woman might use orgasm "as an unconscious way to evaluate the quality of the male," his genetic fitness and, thus, how suitable he would be as a father for her offspring. "Under those circumstances, you wouldn't expect her to have it every time," Dr. Alcock said. Among the theories that Dr. Lloyd addresses in her book is one proposed in 1993, by Dr. R. Robin Baker and Dr. Mark A. Bellis, at Manchester University in England. In two papers published in the journal Animal Behaviour, they argued that female orgasm was a way of manipulating the retention of sperm by creating suction in the uterus. When a woman has an orgasm from one minute before the man ejaculates to 45 minutes after, she retains more sperm, they said. Furthermore, they asserted, when a woman has intercourse with a man other than her regular sexual partner, she is more likely to have an orgasm in that prime time span and thus retain more sperm, presumably making conception more likely. They postulated that women seek other partners in an effort to obtain better genes for their offspring. Dr. Lloyd said the Baker-Bellis argument was "fatally flawed because their sample size is too small." "In one table," she said, "73 percent of the data is based on the experience of one person." In an e-mail message recently, Dr. Baker wrote that his and Dr. Bellis's manuscript had "received intense peer review appraisal" before publication. Statisticians were among the reviewers, he said, and they noted that some sample sizes were small, "but considered that none of these were fatal to our paper." Dr. Lloyd said that studies called into question the logic of such theories. Research by Dr. Ludwig Wildt and his colleagues at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany in 1998, for example, found that in a healthy woman the uterus undergoes peristaltic contractions throughout the day in the absence of sexual intercourse or orgasm. This casts doubt, Dr. Lloyd argues, on the idea that the contractions of orgasm somehow affect sperm retention. Another hypothesis, proposed in 1995 by Dr. Randy Thornhill, a professor of biology at the University of New Mexico and two colleagues, held that women were more likely to have orgasms during intercourse with men with symmetrical physical features. On the basis of earlier studies of physical attraction, Dr. Thornhill argued that symmetry might be an indicator of genetic fitness. Dr. Lloyd, however, said those conclusions were not viable because "they only cover a minority of women, 45 percent, who say they sometimes do, and sometimes don't, have orgasm during intercourse." "It excludes women on either end of the spectrum," she said. "The 25 percent who say they almost always have orgasm in intercourse and the 30 percent who say they rarely or never do. And that last 30 percent includes the 10 percent who say they never have orgasm under any circumstances." In a phone interview, Dr. Thornhill said that he had not read Dr. Lloyd's book but the fact that not all women have orgasms during intercourse supports his theory. "There will be patterns in orgasm with preferred and not preferred men," he said. Dr. Lloyd also criticized work by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, an emeritus professor of anthropology at the University of California, Davis, who studies primate behavior and female reproductive strategies. Scientists have documented that orgasm occurs in some female primates; for other mammals, whether orgasm occurs remains an open question. In the 1981 book "The Woman That Never Evolved" and in her other work, Dr. Hrdy argues that orgasm evolved in nonhuman primates as a way for the female to protect her offspring from the depredation of males. She points out that langur monkeys have a high infant mortality rate, with 30 percent of deaths a result of babies' being killed by males who are not the fathers. Male langurs, she says, will not kill the babies of females they have mated with. In macaques and chimpanzees, she said, females are conditioned by the pleasurable sensations of clitoral stimulation to keep copulating with multiple partners until they have an orgasm. Thus, males do not know which infants are theirs and which are not and do not attack them. Dr. Hrdy also argues against the idea that female orgasm is an artifact of the early parallel development of male and female embryos. "I'm convinced," she said, "that the selection of the clitoris is quite separate from that of the penis in males." In critiquing Dr. Hrdy's view, Dr. Lloyd disputes the idea that longer periods of sexual intercourse lead to a higher incidence of orgasm, something that if it is true, may provide an evolutionary rationale for female orgasm. But Dr. Hrdy said her work did not speak one way or another to the issue of female orgasm in humans. "My hypothesis is silent," she said. One possibility, Dr. Hrdy said, is that orgasm in women may have been an adaptive trait in our prehuman ancestors. "But we separated from our common primate ancestors about seven million years ago," she said. "Perhaps the reason orgasm is so erratic is that it's phasing out," Dr. Hrdy said. "Our descendants on the starships may well wonder what all the fuss was about." Western culture is suffused with images of women's sexuality, of women in the throes of orgasm during intercourse and seeming to reach heights of pleasure that are rare, if not impossible, for most women in everyday life. "Accounts of our evolutionary past tell us how the various parts of our body should function," Dr. Lloyd said. If women, she said, are told that it is "natural" to have orgasms every time they have intercourse and that orgasms will help make them pregnant, then they feel inadequate or inferior or abnormal when they do not achieve it. "Getting the evolutionary story straight has potentially very large social and personal consequences for all women," Dr. Lloyd said. "And indirectly for men, as well." </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/7914785387625188237/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=7914785387625188237&isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/7914785387625188237'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/7914785387625188237'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/04/female-orgasm-whats-its-evolutionary.html' title='Female Orgasm - What's Its Evolutionary Function?'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixiOwgxaLq7zsz3ZFk23rHC3abVKRvwxfEashc9CdaIWFtR7SwMYo5eYbOBSl3LWB1ErFKkxrM7Nzuhanz7Ff04NtLj_b3PcPuec_uJOk22d-G64rbKQWA78UcrpFRL_iuUl_WyL7KeOI/s72-c/sex+orgasm8.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-8058763108688104861</id><published>2008-03-30T02:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-30T02:38:08.688-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="The Worst Computer Viruses"/><title type='text'>The Worst Computer Viruses List of All Time</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">If you haven't experienced a computer virus yet, just wait -- you probably will. Fortunately, you missed the real heyday of computer viruses when anti-virus software wasn't very widely used, and virus attacks caused millions of dollars in damages overnight. Today's viruses can still be nightmarish, but for the average user, cleanup is considerably easier than it was just a few years ago, when the only solution in many cases was reformatting your hard drive and starting from scratch (and even that didn't do the trick sometimes). So join me on a trip down memory lane as we revisit some of the worst viruses of all time and count our blessings that our computers are still up and running despite it all. (Though, please note, "worst" is a matter of considerable debate in the security industry, as the number of infected machines and amount of financial loss is always estimated. If you think another virus was worse than these, please post it in the comments to remind us!) The worst viruses of all time Brain, 1986 It all started here: Brain was the first "real" virus ever discovered, back in 1986. Brain didn't really hurt your PC, but it launched the malware industry with a bang and gave bad ideas to over 100,000 virus creators for the next 2 decades. Michelangelo, 1991 The worst MS-DOS virus ever, Michelangelo attacked the boot sector of your hard drive and any floppy drive inserted into the computer, which caused the virus to spread rapidly. After spreading quietly for months, the virus "activated" on March 6, and promptly started destroying data on tens of thousands of computers. Melissa, 1999 Technically a worm, Melissa (named after a stripper) collapsed entire email systems by causing computers to send mountains of messages to each other. The author of the virus was eventually caught and sentenced to 20 months in prison. ILOVEYOU, 2000 This was notable for being one of the first viruses to trick users into opening a file, which in this case claimed to be a love letter sent to the recipient. In reality, the file was a VBS script that sent mountains of junk mail and deleted thousands of files. The results were terribly devastating- one estimate holds that 10 percent of all computers were affected, to a cost of $5.5 billion. It remains perhaps the worst worm of all time. Code Red, 2001 An early "blended threat" attack, Code Red targeted Web servers instead of user machines, defacing websites and later launching denial-of-service attacks on a host of IP addresses, including those of the White House. Nimda, 2001 Built on Code Red's attack system of finding multiple avenues into machines (email, websites, network connections, and others), Nimda infected both Web servers and user machines. It found paths into computers so effectively that, 22 minutes after it was released, it became the Internet's most widespread virus at the time. Klez, 2001 An email virus, Klez pioneered spoofing the "From" field in email messages it sent, making it impossible to tell if Bill Gates did or did not really send you that information about getting free money. Slammer, 2003 Another fast spreader, this worm infected about 75,000 systems in just 10 minutes, slowing the Internet to a crawl (much like Code Red) and shutting down thousands of websites. MyDoom, 2004 Notable as the fastest-spreading email virus of all time, MyDoom infected computers so they would, in turn, send even more junk mail. In a strange twist, MyDoom was also used to attack the website of SCO Group, a very unpopular company that was suing other companies over its code being used in Linux distributions. Storm, 2007 The worst recent virus, Storm spread via email spam with a fake attachment and ultimately infected up to 10 million computers, causing them to join its zombie botnet. Thanks to Symantec for helping to compile this list. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/8058763108688104861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=8058763108688104861&isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/8058763108688104861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/8058763108688104861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/03/worst-computer-viruses-list-of-all-time.html' title='The Worst Computer Viruses List of All Time'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-318424097988233593</id><published>2008-03-15T00:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-15T00:58:16.578-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Identity Theft Scams"/><title type='text'>Top Identity Theft - Scams We Need To Know</title><content type='html'><div style="text-align: justify;">Identity theft has become a huge problem in the United States. The FTC recently reported that identity theft was the number one complaint again last year for the eighth consecutive year! There are literally thousands of scams out there, and you're probably familiar with most of them, but new scams are getting more sophisticated as people get savvier. Here are the top scams you may not know about.. Tax and Rebate Scams The Scam: Consumers get a call or e-mail claiming to be from a government agency, such as the IRS or Social Security Administration, that asks for personal information to process a rebate check. These crooks ask consumers to provide personal information like their social security number, bank account number, or other details they can use to commit identity theft. If they resist giving out information, they're told they cannot receive the rebate unless the information is provided. The Don'ts: Never give sensitive information to anyone over the phone or email. If you get a suspicious email, delete it immediately. Don't click on any links either, for they might take you to a phishing site or install spyware on your computer. Keep in mind that most government agencies don't collect information by phone or email. The FTC recommends you contact the IRS or SSA directly if you have any questions or concerns.

Cheap Electronics Scam The Scam: Shopping website that appears legit sells electronic products at extremely low prices. The site is so sophisticated, even the most savvy consumer will have a hard time telling it's a fake. One recent article on PCMag, mentions these scamming sites may be part of a bigger network, since they all have a $500 minimum purchase requirement, and may ask for payment in the form of a Western Union money order to be mailed to a foreign address. The Signs: Things a like a foreign address, a $500 minimum purchase, or the lack of a secure payment transaction form should raise red flags. A site may appear legitimate, but if you have a hard time recognizing the validity of the website, watch out for things like a new domain registration, questionable contact information, grammatical and spelling errors, a no return policy, and untraceable payment methods. Do do some research online because chances are others may already be expressing their concerns on forums or blogs. Chatroom Scams The Scam: Russian cyber-crooks have developed a software robot that poses as a human in chatrooms. These bots can chat with up to 10 people simultaneously, and easily persuade them to hand over phone numbers, photographs, birthday, address, and other personal information. The site claims "Not a single girl has yet realized that she was communicating with a program!" Information harvested by these bots can be used by fraudsters to carry out various forms of fraud. Unsuspecting victims may also be tricked into visiting a 'personal site' that could load malware onto their computers. Sergei Shevchenko, Senior Malware Analyst at PC Tools said CyberLover, "employs highly intelligent and customized dialogue to target users of social networking systems. It can monitor Internet browser activity, automatically recognize and fill in the fields in the web pages, generate keystrokes and mouse clicks, and post messages, URLs, files and photos." The Dont's: Common sense says never, ever give out personal information to anyone you just met online. Local Charity Scams The Scam: Fraudsters claiming to be from the local police department or DARE program are calling or approaching private citizens and businesses soliciting donations purporting to benefit police officers. What's convincing some people into handing over personal and financial information to these imposters is the spoofed number that pops up in the caller ID. Police say many victims have reported a phone number that appears to be from the local police department, so don't be fooled. The Do's: If you want to support the local police or fire department, find out when they hold their annual fund drives. Most departments don't solicit donations via telephone, so it's best to check out their site to find out when and how they seek donations. Cancer Cure Scam The Scam: As more people turn to the web for medical advice, they're encountering websites that advertise natural products they claim will prevent or cure everything from cancer to diabetes. Scammers know people are searching for natural remedies online, so they exaggerate the language on their site, and even add a few medical terms to sound legitimate. Oftentimes, they'll claim their supplies are not sold anywhere else, and sell them at a high price. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a miracle cure for cancer, but these scammers will have you believe there is, and will even discourage you from taking real medicine. The reality is many of these products are not proven, effective, or safe, and the sites are full of false testimonials. The Do's: Canada has already started to crack down on such sites, demanding they remove any false claims quickly. Andrea Rosen, Acting Deputy Commissioner of Canada's Competition Bureau, says consumers should be skeptical of health-related products or services that look too good to be true. People should talk to their doctor before trying any new treatment.

New research suggests couples view one another as even more irritating and demanding the longer they are together. The same trend was not found for relationships with children or friends. The study results could be a consequence of accumulated contact with a spouse, such that the nitpicking or frequent demands that once triggered just a mild chafe develops into a major pain. But accumulated irritation has its silver lining. "As we age and become closer and more comfortable with one another, it could be that we're more able to express ourselves to each other," said lead study author Kira Birditt, a research fellow at the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. "In other words, it's possible that negativity is a normal aspect of close relationships that include a great deal of daily contact." Rather than breeding unhappy couples and ill health, the increase in negativity could be a normal part of relationships. "Because we found that pattern was overall among the participants, it appears to be normative. It's not something unusual that happens," Birditt said. Relationship report Birditt and U-M colleagues Lisa Jackey and Toni Antonucci looked at how negative views of spouses, friends and children changed over time and among different age groups, including young adults (ages 20 to 39), middle-aged adults (40 to 59) and older adults (60 and over). The researchers analyzed responses collected in 1992 and 2005 as part of the Social Relations and Health Over the Life Course study, a regionally representative sample of people from the greater Detroit metropolitan area. More than 800 individuals indicated the level of negativity in relationships with their spouses or partners, children and best friends. Participants also noted whether or not their responses referred to the same spouse, child and friend during the 2005 interviews. Each participant rated how strongly they agreed or disagreed with two statements: * "My (spouse/partner, child, friend) gets on my nerves." * "My (spouse/partner, child, friend) makes too many demands on me." Irksome partners In all age groups, individuals reported viewing their spouse as the most negative compared with children and friends. The negative view of spouses tended to increase over time. "We were surprised because in the gerontological research, it suggests that as people age they get better at regulating their emotions and experience less negative relationships," Birditt told LiveScience. "But we found that it depends on which relationship you're looking at." As relationships with spouses became more negative, relationships with children and friends seemed to become less demanding and irritating over time. Negativity toward friends decreases over time partially because we can continuously choose and weed our friends, ditching those pals who are irritating, according to the researchers. "Relationships with children may become less negative because of role changes as children move through adolescence and young adulthood, grow and mature, usually becoming more stable and independent," Birditt explained. Kids moving out didn't seem to impact spousal negativity, however, as the researchers found the same trend for spouses irrespective of the age group. Participants in their 20s and 30s reported having the most negative relationships overall. Older adults had the least negative relationships with spouses, children and friends. Past research by Birditt and others has shown that older adults are more likely to report less conflict in their relationships compared with younger adults. "Older adults are more likely than younger people to report that they try to deal with conflict by avoiding confrontations, rather than by discussing problems," Birditt said. In general, the longer partners stay together, the more they have to deal with the other's idiosyncrasies, for instance. "When you’re living together, it’s a lot harder to avoid each other," Birditt said. The research was presented in November at an annual meeting of the Gerontological Society of America, and it has also been submitted to a journal for publication. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/8186994039441529939/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=8186994039441529939&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/8186994039441529939'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/8186994039441529939'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/02/marriage-get-worse.html' title='Marriage Get Worse'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-3438770331245930251</id><published>2008-01-20T07:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-20T07:34:26.293-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Condoms and Women"/><title type='text'>Types of Condoms and What Women Like About Them</title><content type='html'><div align="justify">Nowadays, condoms come in a variety of sizes, colors, and even flavors. There are small ones, skinny ones, purple ones, strawberry ones, peppermint ones.you name it, and it probably exists. Soon, we might find that we already have as many types of condoms as Hallmark have cards. There used to be a time in another era when there was only one kind of condom out in the market, as far as the texture (or nubbing) is concerned. That has changed in monumental fashion. Nowadays, they can be adorned with latex or they can be ribbed. Some of them can just be on the exterior but some are studded both inside and outside. Presumably, this is also to provide the user with added enjoyment. Exactly how many different kinds of condoms are out there? Are there in fact any significant differences at all? Basically, all condoms would fall under 8 categories in general, based on the primary consideration. These do not include the ones that would be invented tomorrow (knowing the ingenuity of today's generation, they will come up with something). The first is the material; it is either made from polyurethane or latex. Second is the size that involves the width and not the length. However, those available in convenience shops are standard-sized. Third is the kind of lubrication where different substances are used for different brands of condoms. Fourth is the spermicidal. Spermicidal lubricant is sometimes used to lessen the probability of pregnancy. One of the more common is called nonoxynol-9. Some individuals are sensitive to this and in fact, if used a lot of times, may heighten HIV-infection possibility. Fifth is the Ribbed. There are many people out there, espe cially young people, who utter in disgust "if AIDS is not so prevalent, I would never use this.I cannot feel a thing." This type is the heaven-sent condom for them. It has ridges making sex more "feel-able" for the couple. Next is color, enough said, it's self-explanatory. Seventh would be flavor, obviously, this is for those daring individuals who have a propensity for oral sex. Tastes can range from strawberry to god knows what else! However, these condoms should not be used for vaginal/anal sex. Eighth and the last, is the reservoir tipped. Most condoms in fact have a reservoir-like end to hold the semen as opposed to the few others which have plain tips. For the reservoir type, make sure that you pinch the tip before dressing it on. This is more or less mandatory because if air gets in, it could easily break when you are busy and that is what you wouldn't like to happen. Actually, there is another one, but since our topic is men's condoms, a simple mention of it would suffice. This is the female condom (If you are a guy reading t! his and you are the kind who is so averse to putting on condoms, this should give you an idea, right?) Now that we are through enumerating them, let us go to the more important part which is to answer the question "what are the qualities of a good condom?" In terms of material, latex is probably the best; avoid the naturally made ones (lamb membrane for example). Some unenlightened souls claim that a few viruses can go thru latex that is absolutely untrue. Those made from natural materials are porous and so there is a probability of virus-transmission. Another would be the presence of lubricants. Picking the water-based ones is best like those that are pre-lubricated with spermicidal gel or foam. Petroleum, baby oil or cream used as lubricant is risky. These types have the tendency to weaken condoms, even latex. Packaging is also an invitation. (Not only vis-à-vis colors although to some people, color is paramount, they are probably the reason why the glow-in-the dark type was born.) More specifically, what do women want in a condom? Some condoms are packaged to look like tampon containers and a few women are attracted to this. Form also counts - to illustrate, French ticklers (condoms having long appendages) have popular appeal as these (just like the ridges) increase pleasure during intercourse. For this same purpose, some women would insist that their husbands/boyfriends buy the ultra thin type. Of course, not all nationalities are alike. Japanese women in fact, are insistent on using condoms over pills but they are not particular over the kind or form of condom to be used. For as long as she gets assured that it would not break, she probably would not actually care on what specific kind of condom is being used. If you are an American though, a piece of advice: bring your own, the size being manufactured in there might not be to your liking. Lastly, the most interesting though, according to one expert on the topic (she came out with a hilarious yet enlightening piece) - women generally, do not care about the ridges, ribbing or the lubrication. The problem she claims is that condoms are designed by men. She asserts that if women were to be the ones to do this designing, they would just make "padded" condoms. Length may not really be crucial, but according to her, width does and that is where the padding comes in naturally. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/3438770331245930251/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=3438770331245930251&isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/3438770331245930251'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/3438770331245930251'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/01/types-of-condoms-and-what-women-like.html' title='Types of Condoms and What Women Like About Them'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-7457922538088054365</id><published>2008-01-20T07:32:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-20T07:33:25.521-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Insecurity"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Jealousy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Male"/><title type='text'>Male Insecurity and Jealousy</title><content type='html'><div align="justify">So, you finally got the girl of your dreams. She's fine-looking and sexy. She's definitely a catch! Every time you go out, other guys are checking her out. So, you hold her closer, have a protective arm around her, and cast steely "Don't you mess with my girlfriend" stares at the other guys. You closely watch her every move and feel a pang of jealousy and insecurity, even at times when it is not the least bit warranted. You constantly call her up to check up on her or count the seconds before she answers your call. You've been too paranoid too many times whenever she says she's out with her girl friends or co-workers, or if she's meeting up with a high school sweetheart or an ex-flame. You instantly erupt in jealous rage at the mention of past loves. You feel trapped by your insecurity and direct your energy to over protectiveness and jealousy instead. So, you try to buy her time and attention by overwhelming her with the prettiest flowers, wonderful gifts, expensive dinners, and luxurious holidays. You want to control and have the upper hand in the relationship. You utilize the possess-and-isolate tactic on her. You always make excuses for her to be always with you, or to be available at your beck and call. Her girl friends are exasperated with you and upset at how possessive you are. So where does all this insecurity and jealousy spring from? You may have bad experiences before regarding relationships and loyalty, and you ensure that it doesn't ever happen again. In turn, you intensely guarantee that you are the sole object of her desire. Male insecurity has also been known to directly correlate with a deficiency in the size of the male member. Many men are bothered that they are not big enough or they're not gonna please their ladies with their current size. This probably explains the thriving and often lucrative business that is penis enlargement. Another reason may be about money or resources. Many guys feel disdain, oftentimes envy, towards other men who are better off than themselves. With more money, you could probably spend lavish gifts for your girl; and with more presents, you think you make yourself highly desirable and attractive. Men, just like women, also need to be liked. They want to be respected, adored, and esteemed. They want to be feel important and special to someone. They want to be loved and needed. So, how would you rein in your insecurity and keep your jealousy in check? Take time to do a self-assessment. Improve your looks and learn new things. Go to the gym, join sports club, or enroll in short courses like foreign languages, arts, or even acting. More importantly, is the measure of trust and loyalty that you and your girl have for each other. Don't let your insecurities cloud your judgment and ruin your relationships. Treat her with respect as much as you would want her to do the same for you. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/7457922538088054365/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=7457922538088054365&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/7457922538088054365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/7457922538088054365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/01/male-insecurity-and-jealousy.html' title='Male Insecurity and Jealousy'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991307586948788312.post-4785539958639610761</id><published>2008-01-20T07:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-20T07:31:56.998-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Foreplay"/><title type='text'>Foreplay Advice</title><content type='html'><div align="justify">Foreplay is a critical and crucial part of the whole lovemaking experience. It is simply define as everything that comes before actual intercourse. A couple needs foreplay to spice up their sex life, get fully aroused and heighten pleasure. Men are from Mars. Sometimes men need prolonged foreplay to get an erection. Foreplay for men is relatively simple and easy. The direct touching of the genitals usually does the trick. But for those women, who want to tantalize their men into submission remember these five foreplay-for-him maneuvers. 1. Visuals play a vital role, so a sexy clothe would be a nice touch but giving him an unadulterated view of your body will be the hottest gift. Reinforce this view with some steamy moves guaranteed to thrill, like giving him a strip tease. 2. Let your parted lips roam his body, like his stomach or chest, then slowly exhale. The rush of hot air will change the temperature in his skin and heighten his arousal. 3. Seize control and show your animal instinct. You'll be surprise to know that men crave seduction as much as a woman and being aggressive is a sign of lust and that you're as into it as he is. 4. Excite them with touch. Guys are especially touchy when they are between the sheets. Giving him butt massages and long but gentle scratches up and down their back will turn your fella right on. 5. Do what ever it is you are doing to bring him to the brink. Then ease up, not necessarily stopping, but put off the good thing for a while. Do this a few times until he screams "enough already." Women are from Venus. Women need foreplay to become properly lubricated. For women foreplay is a bit more complicated. Direct genital touching is the last place you should go, consider every where else on her body as a good place to touch, massage and kiss before you go there. Letting her know that she is wanted for more than sex, that she is cared about as a woman, is what really turns her on. Here is a five step plan to help her get ready. 1. Nothing is more important to a woman than knowing that you have a connection. It can be as simple as telling her that you were thinking about her, and missed her, nothing over-the-top, just honest and caring conversation. 2. Remember that being intimate does not have to mean being sexual. Once in a while ask her probing questions and give her more than one-word replies when she asks you the same. Confide in her, and let her know that you appreciate her listening. 3. Establish physical contact without being sexual, like holding her hand, giving her massages, do anything to simply make contact without mauling her. 4. Kissing, for women, is an incredible turn on. You have to remember that women sees kissing as another form of emotional intimacy so do not go to a lot of tongue action right away. It will be good to start with a brief caressing of lips and pay attention to whether or not she's digging it. If she is, continue from there with a bit more passion but always be aware of whether she is reciprocating. A great trick is to imitate her kissing style, as it's surely a sign of what she likes! 5. Remember that from kissing her until the "heavy petting" stage, there should be some interval in between. The duration of the kiss will depend on how hot and bothered you both get. The longer and slower you kiss her, the more experienced you'll seem, and the she'll be excited. There is no time limit on foreplay, usually the longer it takes the more sensitized your skin becomes and sends your senses to haywire that leads to explosive orgasm. The key is to start intercourse when both partners are fully aroused and having a hard time controlling their desires. Remember that initiating sex, breaking routine, exploration, new places, new positions, letting him/her know that he/she is wanted sexually is what turns your partner on. </div></content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/feeds/4785539958639610761/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8991307586948788312&postID=4785539958639610761&isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/4785539958639610761'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8991307586948788312/posts/default/4785539958639610761'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://menwomensextips.blogspot.com/2008/01/foreplay-advice.html' title='Foreplay Advice'/><author><name>GiRLs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01148639308310653172</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
