The Foreplay Your Man Secretly Desires

Aren’t men always ready for sex? A quick kiss, a gentle nibble and they are up for action.

But there are times they crave some foreplay too. Turning him on slowly and seductively is the way to go.

Here are the foreplay moves which they secretly crave but rarely openly accept.

Seeing you naked: Your man must have seen you naked numerous times, but what he really wants to do is, take some time out and admire your naked body. Don’t be shy, let him examine every curve and contour and feel proud that you belong to him. It’s a major turn-on.

Breath play: Men love it when you use your breath to turn them on. Slowly breathe on his neck, letting him know that you are ready to get hot and heavy with him. Breathe near his bare chest and even stomach. The rush of hot air speeds up arousal and makes lovemaking even more interesting.

Rough game: Guys often like a forceful approach to foreplay, while women prefer love tender seduction. Take charge and play boss. Don’t let him touch you, instead kiss him with all the passion you have. Using your nails will also add to the pleasure and drive him crazy.

It basically had shreds of material hanging down from her waist, rather than a skirt - a bit like Cinderella.

The Work singer, who certainly isn't afraid of flashing the flesh in her music videos, was seen fanning out her dress in an attempt to cover her dignity (or show more of her super-toned bod - we can't work out which and she does look rather promiscuous).

Wande Cole Leaves Mavin Records

Mavin Records has released an official statement regarding Wande Cole's exi from the label.....

Read the statement below.....

It is with deep regret that we officially announce the departure of recording artist Wande Ojosipe, popularly known as Wande Coal, from Mavin Records due to irreconcilable differences.

Over the past few months, Mavin Records has made a concerted move to consolidate its position in the Nigerian music industry. Mavin has pursued a renewed ethos to raise its standards of quality and professionalism to a world-class level. Wande’s vision has not aligned with ours and a few months ago all parties mutually agreed that a separation would be the best course of action.

Legal parties on both sides have spent the past six months trying to reach an amicable solution in terms of musical property rights. However the decision by Wande Coal to release ‘Baby Face’ purportedly as his own material is a direct breach of intellectual property law and compelled an immediate clarification on our part.

LADIES: 12 Steps To Make Him Love You

The fact is, the course of true love never runs smooth, so here’s a few tips to ensure he falls for you as much as you have for him.

1. Eye Him:

Not of your breasts or bottom or any other body part, but of your eyes. Locking eyes with a guy doesn’t just tell him you’re interested, it can even make him feel like he’s falling in love with you. Why? Because it’s the behaviour of loved-up couples. By encouraging him to gaze into your eyes by maintaining eye contact with him, you can lead his brain towards the idea of love.

2. Be Like Him

There’s no need to start shaving your chin or scratching between your legs, but focusing on the ways in which you’re alike can help create a mutual attraction. We may not realise it, but we have a natural tendency to go for people who not only have similar interests and backgrounds to us, but also use similar facial expressions. Researchers found that we’re more likely to go for people who look similar to us because we perceive certain facial attributes as clues to personality. Laughter lines, frown lines, wide smiles, restrained expressions are all indications of what a person is like – sociable, friendly, shy, emotional – so we seek out people who look as though they’d be compatible with us.

"The Yeezus Tour will resume its scheduled routing on Saturday, November 16th at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA," reads a statement posted on the rapper's website. "The Chicago, Toronto, and Detroit dates have been rescheduled."

Why Some Women Cannot Enjoy Sex

QUESTION:

My wife is sexually frigid. There is nothing I do sexually that moves her. Please help me, I am getting frustrated. What can we do?
Mr. Jones

Sexual frigidity can be a problem in marriage, but this article will go a long way in helping to educate the likes of Mr. Jones and his wife.

According to the Oxford Advanced Learner dictionary, frigidity in women is the lack of the ability to enjoy sex. With about 7 billion people on earth and over half of this number being women, it is not impossible some women are born physically incapable of experiencing orgasm. When a woman finds it impossible to experience orgasm or enjoy sex, the problem is usually emotionally caused and not physically induced. That is why it has been said that a woman’s greatest sex organ is her mind. There is no reason why every woman should not have regular and frequent orgasms, if she wants to. No psychiatrist has ever seen a woman with this condition who was raised by loving parents in a warm, secure family environment. Most women who suffer from orgasmic impairment suffered serious emotional deprivation during childhood and after.

It has been discovered that women raised by loving and caring parents usually enjoy the pleasure of lovemaking more than those raised by cruel and unloving parents. This is so because the warm father-daughter love relationship experienced during a girl’s formative stage plays a very important role in whom she grows to become. That is why every father must open his heart and his arm to his daughter at all times, and this I can say, is strange to the norms in Africa, where the girl-child is seen as “her mother’s child” while the male-child is embraced and cuddled by the father.

HEALTH: Bad Food For Children

Yogurt, bread, whole grain cereal, fruit juice– these sound like staples of a healthy child’s diet, right? However, these wholesome sounding foods may really be full of fat, sugar, sodium, and unnecessary additives or have little nutritional value at all. Read on to learn how to decipher food labels and make healthier choices for your kids.

 Soda drinks

Though many parents know that sugary drinks pose a lot of dangers for kids, yet they keep rewarding or bribing them  with sodas and fizzy drinks when they want them to do their homework or a house chore. A can of soda is not 1 serving. A 12-ounce can of soda is actually 1 1/2 servings. Whether you drink the whole can or not, it’s not a great choice for anyone, especially your kids. A can of cola, for example, has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, more than in a brownie. Sports drinks and juices also have sugar your kids don’t need.

Water is a better option and kids can drink as much as they want. Low-fat milk is another great choice.

Pastries

Meat pies and sausages are no longer occasional treats for children. Experts say pastries contain processed and less nutritious ingredients like sugar and butter which do children no good.

Snacks should be served with fruits and lots of water to help them digest the pastries quickly and to also add healthy vitamins that they may have lost by eating junks.

How Tiwa Savage Caused The Feud Between Don Jazzy And Wande Coal

There is a new twist to the Don Jazzy versus Wande Coal saga as new reports allege that Tiwa Savage, the first lady of Mavin records is the source of the whole trouble.

Some hours ago, Don Jazzy accused former label mate Wande Coal for allegedly stealing one of his songs titled ‘Baby face’.

According to report, Tiwa and Don Jazzy were rejoicing over the positive responses from fans over the success of their recently released 'Eminado' video when she brought his attention to the released 'Baby Face' track.

A reliable source said, "Tiwa and Wande Coal haven't always been friends, and she was the one that brought Don Jazzy's attention to the baby face song. When Don Jazzy saw and heard the song, he was angry and had resolved to giving Wande Coal a call but Tiwa insisted that he should make it public."

Tiwa allegedly said, "He can not continue to steal from you, he should at least be respectful enough to credit you, if you don't do this, he will continue to steal your works, if you put it out on twitter, he'll know you are serious. It's wrong to always take people for granted."

Meanwhile, Tiwa Savage is known for always attacking anyone who offends on twitter.

She recently attacked editors of TW on twitter for a publication rather than calling them privately to settle whatever misunderstanding they had.

HEALTH: How To Prevent Migraines

Nearly 30 million Americans suffer from migraines. If you are one of these unlucky victims, you know the annoying and sometime debilitating symptoms they can cause.

These stimuli may be difficult to avoid, but things like driving at night, movie theaters, clubs and crowded venues, and glare from the sun are common environments that may cause migraines. Take breaks from the TV or computer screen to rest your eyes, and adjust the brightness levels on these screens. Pay close attention to all visual and audio disturbances and make sure you can easily avoid them if a migraine arises

Relationships: How to Stop Being Overly Jealous

Do you find yourself getting nagging feelings of jealousy when your partner is talking to other girls?

Do you worry that you’re smothering the relationship with your fears? To stop being an overly-jealous girlfriend and start being a dream girl, follow these instructions.

1. Give your partner space

If you’ve been dogging his footsteps, confronting him with accusations, stalking his social media profiles, or exhibiting any other desperate behavior, your first order of business is to back off. Take a few deep breaths, detach, and play it cool for a while.

Find opportunities to be with friends, go to an event you've been interested in, and turn him down for at least one get-together.

Be very careful not to act vindictive about this, the point isn't to punish him, give him the cold shoulder, or manipulate him into begging for forgiveness, but to give the both of you a break so you can blow off a little steam, get some perspective, and hopefully save the relationship.

Nigerians Prepare For Solar Eclipse Today

Starting at midday today, young Nigerians would for the first time in their lives witness the solar eclipse, also known as eclipse of the sun.

Solar eclipse is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when the moon moves between the earth and the sun, partially or completely blocking the rays of the sun hitting the earth. Direct blockage of the sun’s rays in this manner casts a shadow on the earth, resulting in partial or total eclipse, depending on where on earth the cosmic event occurs.

Solar eclipse happens because the moon is closer to the earth at an average distance of 384,400 km while the sun is about 150 million km from the earth.

To prepare Nigerians for the unique astronomical event expected to happen today, Director, Centre for Basic Space Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Prof. Fidelis Opara, has predicted the time the solar eclipse would be observed in different parts of the country.

According to him, the eclipse will occur in Abakaliki between 1.06pm and 4.09pm, in Ibadan between 12.52pm and 4.01pm, in Port Harcourt between 1.03pm and 4.09pm,in Enugu between 1.04pm and 4.07pm, in Lagos between 12.50pm and 4.01pm, in Kano between 1.07pm and 4.01pm; Abuja between 1.03pm and 4.03pm and in Uyo between 1.06pm to 4.09pm.

Chris Brown To Be Jailed For Two Years? C'mon MTO, Stop!

MediaTakeOut is the only gossip site in the world reporting that Chris Brown is about to be locked up for 2 years. If it was TMZ reporting this, I'd be really worried, but MTO have a way of exaggerating things. Hopefully this is not true. Below is how they are reporting Chris Brown's impending jail time.

MediaTakeOut.com just spoke with a very well placed insider - inside the Los Angeles Probation Department - and they tell us that they will ask that Chris Brown be taken to jail immediately  for two years..

The insider told us that the decision has already been made - they want Chris in jail for two years. And the department is working on a brief as we speak - to ensure that Chris gets locked up.

According to our insider, there is not much that Chris Brown can do about it either. They explained, "[Chris] lawyer can't really stop him from getting locked up. Only the judge can save Chris . . . but no one expects that to happen."

According to our insider Chris is expected to be locked up as early as next week.

HEALTH: Eating Carrot Boosts Sperm Quality, Fertility

There has been a lot written about carrot, especially its beneficial effects as vision aider. But beyond its immense benefits to the eyes, carrot has been discovered to offer more health benefits to men than ever imagined in relation to their sexual activities. Jenny Hope of Daily Mail reports on the findings of a new research on the benefits of carrot on the human sperm.

Carrots have long been said to be good for your vision. Now, it has emerged, they can also improve the fertility of men.

Researchers investigating the effect of fruit and vegetables on the health of sperm discovered that carrots produced the best all-round results.

They had the greatest effect on ‘motility’ – a term used to describe the ability of sperm to swim towards an egg.

Researchers at Harvard University in the US asked almost 200 young men to follow diets containing a variety of fruit and veg before testing to see what effect it had on sperm.

Yellow and orange foods were found to help make the sperm stronger.

The boost was attributed to pigments called carotenoids because the body converts some of these into health-boosting antioxidants.

HEALTH: What You Need To Know About Pile

Haemorrhoids are swollen blood vessels in or around the anus and rectum. The haemorrhoidal veins are located in the lowest part of the rectum and the anus. Sometimes, they swell so that the vein walls become stretched, thin, and irritated by passing bowel movements. Haemorrhoids are classified into two general categories: internal and external.

Internal haemorrhoids lie far enough inside the rectum that you can’t see or feel them. They don’t usually hurt because there are few pain-sensing nerves in the rectum. Bleeding may be the only sign that they are there. Sometimes internal haemorrhoids  prolapse, or enlarge and protrude outside the anal sphincter. If so, you may be able to see or feel them as moist, pink pads of skin that are pinker than the surrounding area. Prolapsed haemorrhoids may hurt because they become irritated by rubbing from clothing and sitting. They usually recede into the rectum on their own; if they don’t, they can be gently pushed back into place.

External haemorrhoids lie within the anus and are often uncomfortable. If an external haemorrhoid prolapses to the outside (usually in the course of passing a stool), you can see and feel it. Blood clots sometimes form within prolapsed external haemorrhoids, causing an extremely painful condition called a thrombosis. If an external haemorrhoid becomes thrombosed, it can look rather frightening, turning purple or blue, and could possibly bleed. Despite their appearance, thrombosed haemorrhoids are usually not serious and will resolve themselves in about a week. If the pain is unbearable, the thrombosed haemorrhoid can be removed with surgery, which stops the pain.

Want A Healthy Relationship - Learn What Forgiveness Really Means

Forgiveness is often misunderstood. A lack of this understanding can hurt relationships in terrible ways. The symptoms of such hurt may take form bitterness, envy, pride, and lust. Though whatever symptom arises, it results in broken relationships. To stay away from such relational disaster, we must learn how to rightly forgive. 

Are you sure you can say what forgiveness IS and what it IS NOT? Let's take a look at what forgiveness is all about.

Forgiveness Does Not Excuse Behavior

We must realize that granting forgiveness does not mean that the injustice wasn't grievous. When someone apologizes to you, have you ever responded, "It's OK"? I know I have. That's normal to say when you're dealing with minor infractions. But when someone abuses, cheats, lies, steals, etc., these things are not simply "OK", just because someone apologizes for them. In these situations, things may never be OK again between you and that individual... but you can still forgive, while knowing that what they did was wrong, and that it may bring consequences. This brings us to our next point.
