Is your partner financially unfaithful?

Image
Ever hidden a purchase from your partner or stored away some cash secretly? Financially 'cheating' your spouse or partner is something that is and has been prevalent and couples indulge in it sometimes without even knowing that it amounts to 'cheating'. A man goes out with his gang of buddies and they spend a few thousands at a resto-bar, though he knows his wife will not like it. So, he simply avoids telling her about it. In another instance a woman who knows her husband would question her about her salon visits, decides to keep mum about her beauty parlour bills. This is financial infidelity, in its mildest forms. Dr Kersi Chavda, psychiatrist, says, "Sometimes, a person cannot control their shopping or spending impulses; to avoid a fracas at home, they lie." He maintains that when it is about a simple manicure then, it's not such a big thing. "However," he adds, "when this involves an enormous amount of money, then it can be a problem....

No Outside Interference: Birth Control Alternatives

by wiki. SEX .pedia Some people just don’t like using certain types of contraceptives. There can be a number of reasons for this objection. It is believable to say that they would cite religious reasons for their objections, though that argument may be fading out, if some statistics are to be believed. Another typically cited reason would be that a number of popular methods of birth control are simply flawed. A condom is not always effective and a number of factors can make even the most potent birth control medication still have an appreciable risk of pregnancy. There are, of course, other methods that do not entail the use of pharmaceutical and external tricks but instead rely more on good old-fashioned discipline. These methods present their own risks, largely due to the fact that the less experienced the person is in the method, the less successful it is. There is no arguing that the lack of sex is inevitably going to be the best birth control available. The simple logic of abstin...

10 cruel things women do to men

Image
Despite being known as the fairer sex, women can be downright nasty and often do cruel things to men. Now, Fox News has compiled a list of top 10 cruel things that women do to men and how they play with the guy's emotions or ego. 10. They don't pick up the phone While men feel good as they manage to take the girls' phone number, the girls often give them a fake number or don't pick up the call. 9. Use men for free drinks Some women go out never planning to spend any of their own money on drinks at the bar or club. Instead, they count on their feminine wiles to convince guys to shell out for their libations. While some of them might begin to get to know him, the cruel and heartless ones will take that drink, flirt a little and move on. 8. Use men as placeholders If she is a decent person, she'll just get it over with and dump the boy, but if she's cruel, she'll hold on to him for a while until somebody new comes along. These girls don't like to be alone a...

Heat magazine is one of the biggest selling magazines in the UK with a circulation of over half a million, and this is only one of a long list of celebrity gossip magazines that is produced each week.

Sex addiction is controllable

Image
Sex addiction is controllable, according to an expert, who says her new research could help treat the problem by dealing with the issues causing impulsive sexual behaviour. Adriana Lima "When people say `sex addict' they shrug their shoulders and say `it's out of my control''. It is within their control," Stuff quoted Sex Therapy NZ co-director Robyn Salisbury saying. For an addict, the behaviour is not about sex but more an urge for sexualised relief, she said. "Out-of-control sexual behaviour is not about the sexual drive, just like alcohol isn't about being thirsty, Salisbury said. "If people are uptight or lonely they will eat, drink or have a drive to have sex. The compulsion doesn't meet their needs; it's just looking for a temporary soother. Addicts end up getting a "mindless buzz", which can be heartbreaking for intimate partners, she added. More than 880 people participated in an anonymous online questionnaire about the...

Magnetic bras spell end for tricky hooks

Image
The battle to fasten and unfasten lingerie using those tricky bra hooks seems to have come to an end thanks to magnets. Christine Martin A British department store has unveiled a hi-tech line of lingerie that stays on. Selfridges will soon sell a collection of French lingerie in which the fastenings are replaced with tiny, invisible magnets rather than the traditional hooks, reports News . The bra comes with a matching pair of 'clip-on, clip-off' panties, which have magnetic strips at the sides. Created by French designer Laetitia Schlumberger, the 'Dement' - French word for 'insane' – underwear starts from 165 pounds for a bra and panties set. "Fumbling to unhook a bra strap can actually be quite a passion killer," said Helen Attwood, the head lingerie buyer at Selfridges. "This new magnetic lingerie is the biggest innovation in the underwear market for years. Those moments wasted with the bra fumble can now be put to much better use," she...

Men like women with sexy looks

Image
Men are attracted towards women with sexy looks, according to a new survey. And a great cleavage is the next best thing to turn them on. However, when it comes to women, just a simple smile is enough to get them attracted to men. Adriana Lima In the survey, it was found that women were also attracted to men with a good sense of humour, even though they were unattractive. The survey led by popcorn makers Butterkist also revealed that stockings and suspenders, knee-high boots and short skirts also featured on the list of what men couldn't resist about women. Thoughtfulness, generosity, and intelligence along with affectionate attitude made it to the list of biggest turn-ons for women. "We wanted to get under the skin of what it is that makes someone actually irresistible," the Daily Express quoted a Butterkist spokesman as saying. "We found it's a rare combination of things, both mental and physical," he added. One in 10 admit having never met someone they cou...

Singles want friendship, not sex

Image
Exotic Dancing A survey on nearly 150,000 romantic hopefuls has found that when looking for love, friendship is their number one priority, while sex was not thought to be that important. Adriana Lima The survey, by online dating website eHarmony.com.au , revealed that friendship and chemistry came in as the top two most popular relationship ideals among all age groups, reports the Sydney Morning Herald . Both genders placed friendship and chemistry as the two most important qualities, and while women placed more importance on kindness men did not. Partners' ability to communicate is seen as more important by women than men, and men placed more importance on enjoying physical closeness than women. Where quality in a partner was concerned, both genders listed ten most sought after qualities. 1. Friendship between me and my partner 2. Chemistry between me and my partner 3. Enjoying the way I feel around my partner 4. Having my partner be open with me about feelings 5. My partner's...

Why women outlive men

Image
Hot Girl Doing Yoga The reason for women outliving men has been put down to the possibility that the cells of male bodies are not genetically programmed to last as long as those of the females. Professor Tom Kirkwood, a leading gerontologist at the University of Newcastle, believes there is now growing evidence to suggest that men are literally more disposable than women. Kirkwood had a "eureka moment" while having a bath one winter's night in 1977, and he came up with the theory called "disposable soma". It has become the leading scientific explanation for why we age, why we cannot live forever - and now the reason why women live longer than men. The disposable soma theory states that, although the genes are immortal and can indeed "live forever" by being continually passed on to subsequent generations, the body or "soma" is disposable because it is designed to live only long enough to act as a vehicle for carrying genes to the next generati...

Rising in divine love

Image
Rouse yourself to the behold Divinity that's in you. First you wake up from inertia and dullness; then the human in you wakes up; thereafter the Divinity in you becomes evident. Yasmen Ghauri One story says that after creating man, God said, "I made a mistake". For God was flooded with complaints: "Why did you do this? Why did you do that?" God wondered why despite all that he had created, man was so full of complaints. Why was man grumbling most of the time? God went to a saint and said, "I am in deep trouble. Man may even drag me to court!" The saint whispered something into God's ear. He told God to go and hide in the heart of man because that's where man never goes. God's eyes sparkled. He sneaked into the heart of man and has been lying hidden there ever since. Become aware, therefore, of the Divinity that's in you. So what then is God? God is beauty. God is space, joy and love, and God is all-pervading. God is the space in which e...

Affairs good for couples?

You thought infidelity breaks up marriages? You're wrong, 'coz according to Maryse Vaillant, a prominent French psychologist, "Men who keep mistresses improve their marriage". In her latest book, "Men, Love, Fidelity", Maryse says, "Infidelity is essential to the psychic functioning of certain men who are still very much in love, and it can be liberating for women." So if your husband's been enjoying secret meetings with another woman, don't run after him with a knife. For all you know, it could improve your marriage. Maryse says that infidelity is not, by definition, proof of love. Agrees engineer Charu Verma*, 29, "We practically spend our lives in office, so naturally, one gets attached to colleagues. And why blame men; women too get into relationships of convenience. I work for 12-15 hours a day, and since I don't get to see my husband often, we started having a lot of fights. I needed emotional support, and a colleague helped ...

Men too fake orgasms

Image
Women aren't the only ones who can pretend to have orgasms, according to a new study, which found that even men feign pleasure in bed. Yamila Diaz In a study of more than 200 college students, 25 per cent of men and half of the women reported that they'd acted out an orgasm during sexual activity. The reason to fake it was to end the sex without the awkwardness of hurting their partner's feelings, reports Live Science . The new study, conducted by psychologists at the University of Kansas, asked 180 college-age men and 101 college-age women questions about their sexual histories. Each participant was asked whether they had ever pretended to have an orgasm. To catch those who might be ashamed to admit their deceit, the participants were also asked whether they'd "done something similar" to pretending to orgasm. Almost 100 per cent of those surveyed had experienced some sort of partnered sexual stimulation, whether manual or oral. Just under 70 per cent of the w...

Nice guys always get the girl

Image
New research suggests that nice guys really do finish first when it comes to getting the girl. Yamila Diaz According to psychologists, traits such as selflessness and altruism have become part of our genetic make-up because they were attractive to mates. They believe that as humans evolved, qualities such as being fittest and strongest were usurped by other qualities – such as offering a helping hand in bringing up the children. "The expansion of the human brain would have greatly increased the cost of raising children so it would have been important for our ancestors to choose mates both willing and able to be good, long-term parents," the Telegraph quoted Dr Tim Phillips and colleagues from the University of Nottingham and Institute of Psychiatry, King's College, London, as saying. "Displays of altruism could well have provided accurate clues to this and so led to a link between human altruism and sexual selection." The study, which investigated whether altr...

Tips for sizzling sex

Image
Sex needs to be spontaneous and only then does it completely fulfill and please one. Here are three steps that will guarantee ultimate sexual pleasure. Larissa Riquelme Don't try too hard: When it comes to great sex, be natural. Trying too hard will make the process harder as no matter how hard you try to curb it, you will let your partner know that you are trying too hard. This is especially true for men who think if he doesn't try variety, the girl won't enjoy the sack session. So he might just try to pull off tricks that might actually turn her off, since she would realize he is not really into the act. Don't think too much: There is the concept of Gourmet sex, which is touted to be the most fulfilling and satisfying form of sex. It basically means having sex with a free and easy mind and allowing it to be a satisfying experience. Bed is definitely not the place to think. This especially involves women who are extremely self-conscious of their image. While into the a...

Plenty of sex gives men long lives

Image
An active sex life is the key to a longer life for men only if they are faithful to their partners, a new research has found. Larissa Riquelme Italian medical researchers have found that a healthy sex life means fewer cardiovascular problems for men. "What was evident from the research was that men who had active sex lives and were faithful to their partners had fewer cardiovascular complaints and lived longer," the Telegraph quoted Emmanuele Jannini, coordinator of the research, as saying. "Increased sexual activity produces more testosterone, which leads to less depression and a better cardiovascular performance which means an improved metabolism," said Jannini. Jannini said the study has revealed that those who were unfaithful had a poor cardiovascular performance because they were "also coping with the increased stress of their infidelity." She said that an increased amount of testosterone produced during sex was good for men because it burned off exce...

Sexual problems in women

Medical science is increasingly confronted with sexual problems in women. These problems can vary substantially, to reach solutions which also vary substantially. What causes my sexual problems?, Runs constantly in demand. The question is easy to answer more difficult. Female sexuality is in fact a complex mix of mental, emotional and physical signals; a problem in one area can cause problems in other areas. Thus, a physical problem just lead to the development of the fear of pain, fear which in turn can lead to feelings of guilt about their effects on the partner. Consequence of this complexity is that the sexual problems in women are often hidden away and thus only by chance to the surface. Very often, sexual problems, only to surface when the problems of different nature are examined. The causes of sexual problems are so strongly intertwined, meaning they are difficult to disentangle The psychological reasons for sexual problems are thus related to physical or emotional reasons, pas...

Consensual flirting can get dangerous

Image
Japanese Girl Doing Yoga When does 'consensual flirting' become sexual harassment? We ask those in the know to define the fine line Larissa Riquelme Lisa Rundle, a former Penguin employee, recently crashed into our consciousness when she alleged that Indian publishing poster boy and novelist David Davidar sexually harassed her. In his defence, with blow by blow details of what-she-did and what-he-did, Davidar called their relationship a consensual flirtation. Have you been yo-yoing about which side to be on? Have you caught yourself thinking back to something you said or did in office that could be construed as harassment? Have you been wondering if something someone said or did was harmless or ill-intentioned? Relax. The line between flirting and harassment is not as thin as it may appear. It is, in fact, a thick bold boundary, according to sociologist Maithili Ganjoo, who believes that it is important to address this urban phenomenon. "We are spending more time at work t...

Food for love

Make everyday a day for love and romance. With this recipe, love can't stay too far from your kitchen! Danni Wells Make sure it is simple, delicious and easy-to-do. Spending too much time cooking a complicated meal is something none of us look forward to! Red being the colour of the day, it's easy to add this vibrant colour to your Valentine's Day meals. For breakfast, you can use beautiful bright red fruit like perfect heart-shaped strawberries, deep red cranberries or even an apple to give it that special touch. Cranberry juice is a good alternative to your regular orange or apple juice. You can add dried cranberries to your morning cereal. For the slightly more adventurous, bake cranberry muffins. However, nothing can beat a crisp French toast for breakfast. There are many versions of this toast. Some believe that it was a creation of some medieval European cooks who used stale bread to feed their families with. They revived this bread with moisture and heat and ate it. ...

Big boobs a big no-no!

Latina Alexis Being flat-chested may once have been an embarrassment, but recent trends indicate otherwise. Joanna Krupa Ellen Shing, the owner of Lula Lu, a California-based website that caters to AAA- to A-cup sizes, said that while some women do look for padded bras, the majority "don't want to super-size themselves". "It's a misconception that you want to be bigger if you're smaller," The New York Daily News quoted Shing as saying. An increasing number of websites and retailers are saying, "The way you are is perfect, and here's how I can help you" and not "Here's how you stuff your bra", said Elisabeth Dale (formerly Squires), author of Boobs: A Guide to Your Girls. In fact, women with modest busts are proudly flaunting what little they've got with a deep V-neck cut or a halter-top. Twitter, Facebook and online blogs are witnessing a surge in online users "gushing about the lingerie and clothes that scream, '...

Erica Ellyson Psychiatrist Harish Shetty gives us the low-down on what could drive a loved one to self-destruction and how you can help Danni Wells Model Viveka Babajee's recent death again thows up the fallacies around suicides. With models Nafisa Joseph and Kuldeep Randhawa taking their lives in a similar manner a few years ago, a trend is apparent. Psychiatrist Harish Shetty clears some misconceptions about what drives a person to take his or her own life and what can help. Myth: Those who talk about attempting suicide are less likely to act. Fact: People who threaten to take their lives are more prone to attempt it than those who do not. Hence do not take these as empty threats and challenge them.
