Endure a sex marathon

Not very often does one get the opportunity to spend extended lovemaking time with their lover, but when such rare occasion does arise one should make it a point to keep it enjoyable as well as enduring.

Enduring a sex marathon can take a few hours or longer if the situation demands it, and many times it could go all night.

Thus, to keep oneself in good form, even the most virile and energetic must rest and rejuvenate, reports Fox News.

Before embarking on your sex marathon, it is better to be well-fed (but not too well) with food that releases energy slowly (such as grains and low GI carbohydrates) and be well hydrated.

And here are some tips on enduring a sex marathon:

Don't orgasm
You can do this by choosing positions that provide less stimulation - because everyone is different, only you will know what these are for you. Change positions if you feel like you're losing the power of your drive and erection or getting too close to orgasm. Bear in mind that having an orgasm isn't the end of the session and you can take a rest before you continue. This is a good time to experiment with positions that you may not have tried with your partner.

Pleasure her to keep the focus off of you
If you do happen to need a rest while enduring a sex marathon or you do orgasm, you can easily shift the focus off of you and onto her. This can include cuddling, fondling, massage, general touching, and kissing. A rest does not have to be totally sexual in nature, and it is just as nice to make love for hours as it is to just touch each other in nice ways - or invent new ways of loving.

Don't drink too much
Alcohol is known to be a relaxant and can be a wonderful addition to the time you share with your lover. In saying that, after two or more drinks, alcohol lowers a man's ability to achieve and maintain erections, and can trigger an inability to orgasm for a long time. Alcohol also has sedative effects - it could cause you to fall asleep easily. Drinking can also encourage unsafe behaviour. Drinking too much alcohol will not help enduring a sex marathon.

Get creative
While enduring a sex marathon, you can introduce sex toys like vibrators, beads or sex paraphernalia such as whips, ropes and blindfolds. Food is also a great diversion and pleasure- ice cream, chocolate sauce or whipped cream are great. Get creative - you can draw out the process for quite some time with some very lusty teasing using these objects.

Keep lube handy
One of the main problems of sex play for hours could be dryness, so keep some good quality lubricant handy, one that tastes nice and is non-greasy. A glass of water nearby is also going to be useful, not only to rehydrate but to moisten your mouth. source

Spice up your sex plans!

Want to spice things up in the bedroom? Well, then turn your attention the following tips. Here are five rules for better sex and romance...

Initiate sex
If women can initiate sex, it can actually spice up your life. The custom of a male approaching a female sometimes do not work, as men are often apprehensive of being rejected. Hence, sometimes it's better if women initiate kinky things.

Washing up can be an aphrodisiac
Women want their men to be with them even while doing household chores. Men who do household chores seem sexier to women.

Dress to impress
A survey conducted by anthropologist John Townsend and Gary Levy from Syracuse University showed that expensive clothing can lure women. The polled women said they preferred having sex with men wearing smart suits, white shirts with designer ties and expensive watches to those dressed in low status clothing, such as T-shirts and jeans, vests, baseball caps and a fast food restaurant uniform.

Smart women often make bad love choices
Lot of studies have shown that smarter women make wrong choices when it comes to matters of the heart. Author of Success Intelligence, Dr Robert Holden insists that intelligent women waste their time analysing the true meaning of their relationships, instead of being open.

Humour is an aphrodisiac

Super-intimate moves in bed

Sex apart from being a source of great pleasure, is also one of the strongest bonds a couple may share. The act is as intimate as it is heady. Keeping this thought in mind, here are some highly intimate moves which are likely to send your senses spiraling.

1. While kissing him, lick and suck his tongue to simulate action below his belt. Make it an unhurried, slow and pleasure-giving activity with love and intimacy thrown in for good measure. The longer your kiss, the better will be the consequent action.

2. In the middle of the act, dig your nails into his butt and pull him in closer. This action will convey your urgency and need for him to be even closer, if possible.

3. Have him sit with his legs crossed on the bed or floor. Then straddle him, wrap your legs behind his back, and rock back and forth. As your bodies will be tight together, use it to kiss him all over his face and neck.

4. As your man goes down on you, ask him to draw figure eights with his tongue all the way down. You will soon be moaning with ecstasy!

5. How about gently wrapping a nylon stocking around his base, so that it's snug. The compression will make him even more sensitive, and the knots stimulate you as you move in girl-on-top.

6. Have your man sit in a chair and bind his hands together behind him using a scarf. Then give him a lap dance, teasing him with your untouchable hotness. His inability to touch you with his hands will drive him wild with unattainable pleasure.

7. Lower yourself sideways onto your man. He'll be able to feel your inner contours in an entirely new way. source

Women to keep away from your guy

Making your friends meet your guy might seem like a normal thing to do, after all they are the ones who know you best and are seen with you almost everywhere.

But it is not always safe to let the two ends meet, lest it turn fatal.

Overtly friendly types : These girls just don't seem to know where to draw the line. The Miss Congeniality type is commonly seen falling over other men. She may mean no harm, but tries to keep on touching him all over; would want to rest her body on him or laugh even at the silliest joke he cracks, giving out wrong signals. Such women are bound to make you feel awkward and left out since they don't know how to give space to a couple.

Manisha Kishore, 27 years, a PR consultant says, "We all had gone out to a pub once. When the music started to play and drinks started to roll, this pretty friend of mine dragged my boyfriend on to the dance floor. She was falling all over him making me feel embarrassed to the core. I didn't know how to handle the situation and I left the place fuming. I had a huge row with my boyfriend regarding this."

Expert Tip : "It's best to act mature in such cases and let your guy know that you don't like any woman takes such liberty with your beau. Also explain to him that he should shun such women so to avoid problems between the two of you. Do not over react since your guy is not exactly at fault in this situation. He might just be trying to be sweet to your friend," says psychiatrist Anjali Kumar.

Grabby types : She just can't resist a good catch. She is infamous for dating several men at the same time, some of whom may even be already engaged.

Swati Sharma, 22 years, an MBA student recalls, "I had this lass in college who we all friends knew was sleeping around with almost every man she could lay her hands on. Once our college gang had gone out for a movie where my guy was supposed to join us. This girl also came along. When my guy came, she started acting strange. She tried everything possible to grab some private moments alone with him and my guy didn't even resist her overtures. I got mighty pissed off and two days later found her raunchy text message on his mobile phone. I dumped him the same day."

Expert Tip : "Take your guy into confidence and tell him everything about the girl. This should do the trick since he won't then try to take her advances seriously," suggests Dr Bhavna Uniyal.

Gossipy kinds : She is not one of your best friends, yet knows a lot about your past (rather, all the secrets of your past). You can't leave your man alone with her because she might just spill the beans from your past that you don't want your partner to find out just yet.

Priyanka Sinha, 25 years, a legal executive with an MNC says, "I used to often hang out with a colleague (cum friend) from my workplace. We were like the best of bitching partners in office. Once it so happened that we got late outside and my guy had to drop her home. I was so restless all the while and my worst fears came true the very next morning. She told my guy about an ex who was a common friend my boy was really wary of. I didn't know what to say."

Expert Tip : "It's safest to keep this woman away from your guy or best to confide in him about your past and make him understand that it's history now. If you are successfully able to do that then you don't really need to worry about the woman," says psychologist Pankaj Vohra.

Desperate singleton : These women are constantly seen cribbing about their single status. She has tried her luck with almost every guy. She sees every man as a prospective target and leaves no stone unturned to make her seem available.

Ritu Kapoor, 29 years, a content writer states, "I took my fiancé out to our college alumni. I wanted him to meet my friends. A single friend started to take a lot of interest in him asking him about his profession, his interests, while I was busy mingling with other long lost friends. She even asked for his number. My eyes were constantly glued on to them and as a result I could not enjoy the evening at all. It was awful. I never want them to meet again."

Expert Tip : "If you are good friends with the girl, it's better to confide in her about the seriousness of your relationship and if you two aren't really good friends, then you should try to make your guy do something to put her off," says relationship expert Namita Krishnamurthy.

'I am sexy and i know it' : This best defines women belonging to this category. They know that they can win over any guy if they want to and are a dream catch for almost every guy they meet. Such friends pose a higher risk because they could very well catch your guy's fancy.

Ruchika Aggarwal, 22, a freelancer adds, "I had this super hot friend in college who met my guy soon after we started dating. Thereafter, he kept on asking me about making a plan with that group. It made me feel superbly insecure and I confided in him. He confessed that he found her quite hot and fun. So I had to cook up this really 'mean' story about her being a lesbian to turn him off."

Expert Tip : "Try to dress up well for your man. Accentuate your strengths. He won't have time to take his eyes off you," opines relationship expert Priya Saxena. Source

How to combat body odour

Every region of the human body has a different odour; sometimes the odour is so distinctive so as to allow immediate identification of its origin . For instance, underarm and feet odours are easily recognised .

Recent medical research has shown that people with body odour are prone to less confidence levels which ultimately affect their personal and social relationships.

Feelings of shame, embarrassment, low self-esteem, isolation, frustration, anxiety and depression are extremely common where Body odour is present. Body odor refers to the unpleasant smell that is emitted by the body. The smell results from the presence of bacteria on the body.

The most common body parts that are associated with body odor include hair, feet, groin, skin, armpits, genitals, pubic hair, belly button and ears. Though sweating is seen as the most common reason for body odor, there are other reasons as well, due to which your body may emit a foul smell.

Sweat is not caused only by outside heat; it can also be caused by nervousness, sudden anxiety, unease, apprehension or fear. Perspiration, or sweat, is body's way of cooling itself, whether that extra heat comes from hardworking muscles or from over-stimulated nerves. Body odor is primarily generated in the area under the arms where there is a high concentration of sweat glands.

Body odour can be an embarrassment, which many face from time to time. Zodhita Inc., a successful pharma company from US is launching a range of Antiperspirants and Deodorants in Indian market to combat the typical body odour and perspiration problems of Indians. The range is available in the Indian market from October 2009 onwards. Go check out the Personal Hygiene shelves for the latest solutions available in the range of anti-perspirants and deodorants from Zodhita.

Seven simple home remedies to kill body odour
Alivia C suggests these simple and effective steps to reduce body odour and the ill effects there of:
Wash yourself: Take bath twice a day and always wash your self with soap and water, particularly areas that are likely to smell, such as the armpits and genital areas and the mouth. A few drops of rose water or tea tree oil added to the bath, will give long lasting freshness.

Use an Antiperspirant: Antiperspirants leave chemicals on the skin that kills the bacteria that causes body odour.

Kitchen comes to rescue: Applying baking soda, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, alcohol, lime or ashes, tomatoes, which are readily available at home, can also help reduce perspiration.

Eat healthy: What you eat is directly related to your body odour, so eat healthy and avoid processed foods and too much red meat. Frequent consumption of garlic, cumin and masala can be the cause of foul smell, avoid alcohol and tobacco – this worsens your problem. According to medical experts, extracts of proteins and oils from certain foods and spices remain in your body's excretions for hours after eating them and can also impart on your body odour. Drink lots of water and fresh vegetable juices to reduce sweating and hydrate the body. Drink a glass of water in the morning, on an empty stomach, along with 500mg of wheatgrass. The chlorophyll present in the grass will help in reducing odour.

Cotton is the answer: Make it a habit of wearing fabrics such as cotton rather than synthetic materials. Cotton fabrics allow air to pass through it. So it reduces sweating and the odour associated with it. Choose your colours carefully; the colour black is known to produce heat which can make you sweat profusely. You can wear other cool colours like blue and white. You should avoid repeating your clothes without washing them and make it a point to wash the parts under the armpits thoroughly.

Waxing: The underarms tend to accumulate more sweat, removing hair by waxing or shaving helps prevent sweat rings.

Keep Calm: Keeping calm can also do the trick. Getting excited, feeling anxious or nervous make you perspire a lot. If you know you will go through these emotions, you have to use an extra dose of the antiperspirant in the morning. Source

Different forms of Love

Whether you're 80 or 18, everyone just needs to be loved! Let's discover how notions of love expand and how falling in love has lost its retirement age!

We're living in a world where the age span of love is rising. From teenagers who are being told, 'How to be a Perfect Kisser', to middle-aged women who figure out '10 Ways to Please your Man in Bed' from magazines, and old couples who are advised on '20 Ways to Better Loving' – can anyone ignore love at any age? Why, even author Gabriel Garcia Marquez said, "I would prove to men how wrong they are to think that they stop falling in love as they get older, since they actually start getting older as soon as they stop falling in love."

Says relationship guru, Dr Rohit Juneja, "We're expanding our notions of love and are finding new expressions to show it; this makes us energetic and lively. The increasing divorce rate, in a way is healthy, because that shows that people don't want to be in loveless relationships."

Finally, the pursuit of love is making us get out of our comfort zone.

Desire to love: When you're 14, you don't need a reason to be in love. The love gurus have marketed love in every space of a youngster's life. At 14, for Vandana Sareen, boys are a fascinating subject. "We can't stop talking about guys. I'm in love with a boy in my class. At my age, the pressure to fall in love is intense. I don't know the difference between attraction and love yet. So, I'll just experiment."

For youngsters in the love market, it's about experimentation and glamour. Says psychologist Anu Goel, "Love in the teens is dreamy." There's an openness in the post I-pill generation. Explains marriage counsellor, Dr Kamal Khurana, "It's more fairy-tale and fantasy-like, where they think that everything is possible."

Maintenance of love : "There's hardly any maintenance required; love comes easy, and also goes easy," says psychologist Goel. "Women are more upfront in expressing love, which is all about deep intimacy, sexual longing and exploration fuelled by a consumer mentality," says Radhika Chopra, a sociologist at Delhi University. When you are young, and you fall in love, it's an illusion. For singer Hard Kaur, "Love is understanding... it's about making pancakes at three in the morning!" Why, even Rakhi Sawant is trying to look for love on India's national television. "I feel the need to find love and share my life with someone."

Middle-aged love
Love gets me every time my heart changed my mind – Shania Twain, singer

Desire to love: Even Google doesn't have a clear description of love for a middle-aged person! You're supposed to be looking after your babies and making a success of your career or having great sex outside marriage! This is the most vulnerable group; 'settled' couples feel 'unsettled', and divorce isn't uncommon, as most feel there's still time to find love. Says relationship expert Dr Rohit Juneja, "These are people living lives in quiet desperation. They want to break free. So, they start by having affairs. Monogamy is the monopoly of one individual, which leads to monotony."

Says author Kishwar Desai, who met Meghnad

Desai when she was 47. "Love happened to me. We share everything and have a deep sense of bonding!" Dr Avdesh Sharma says, "You cannot imagine how unhappy mid-lifers are with their marriages. When they meet attractive people, the chemistry is lethal. There's a craving for deep emotional intimacy in this group." So, what do men and women look for in love at this age? Says Anu Chadha, 52, accessory exporter, "I'm looking for love that is serene not heady and hip-hop." Sanjeev Khatri, VP, Queen's International Travels, believes, "Being in love makes you vivacious. For men, it's to be with someone who is emotionally and sexually attractive."

Maintenance of love : Growing up doesn't cool off desire, rather, it fires it up. "Love is about intimacy, appreciation and communication. Remove your conflicts," advises Dr Juneja. Meera Bhardwaj, a recently-married Delhi University lecturer at 42 feels, "Keeping love alive is about indulging in small romantic gestures, giving compliments and showing gratitude."

Desire to love : Don't just blame Viagra; the desire to find love is intense at 62 for Col Raj Khanna. He says, "I lost my wife some years ago and was looking for friendship. So, when I found love for the second time, it was more about sharing." Dr Avdesh Sharma, psychiatrist, opines, "I've had men come to me, who have spouses who don't want sex. There are a lot of mismatched couples looking for emotional fulfillment. The solution is to find newness in your daily routine."

Maintenance of love : At 77, Mehtab Singh's definition of love is, "Loving stays young; the body grows old. Love can give you a glow even in your 70s." Says Dr Kamal Khurana, "Many people face the empty nest syndrome, so love in this stage has to be supportive." The need for physical intimacy is reflected in the attitude of 60- plus men in Joggers' Park, where conversations revolve around sex! Says Dr Raj Bhrambhat, sexologist, "There's new hope with Viagra. Men want sexual gratification even after 70. There's no age for love and sex. It can happen anytime." source:The Times of India

Love style

Research has conclusively proved that love comes in several different forms that can be further categorized. These few styles may be a blend of two or three styles!

Love! Ah, what does one say - it's like a cool breeze on a hot, muggy summer night, a magical droplet from the sky, a warm kiss from a lover, a hug from a buddy. Although, the experience may be very divergent, what's certain is that love means different things to different people.

Hues of love:

How do I get this done love: Some people experience love as a game to be played with other people's emotions. The desire is to gain control over a partner through clever calculation. People who experience this kind of love have multiple love interests where they are in complete control. Lying, cheating and deception are common for these people as it is part of the game. For people who experience such love, it is satisfying to outwit a partner and exploit his or her weak spots.

Madly, deeply, irrevocably in love: Some people experience love with a lot of passion, intimacy and intensity. Here the love has a strong sexual and emotional component. People who experience love this way want to be emotionally and physically close to their romantic partners and tend to idealize love. Such love is marked by passion as well as compassion (kindness and consideration). This kind of love is best viewed as romantic, passionate love - the type that creates excitement at the beginning of a new relationship.

Obsessed, possessed love: For some people, love is being out of control! It turns one's life upside down and results in a complete loss of one's identity. People who experience this kind of love fall in love quickly, but their love tends to consume them, and is likely to burnout even before it gets the chance to mature. Such love is often marked by extreme delusions, rash decisions and vulnerability.

Steady slow love: Some people experience love as a gradual and slow process. When love is like this, getting to know a potential partner comes before having intense feelings for that person. Falling in love requires genuine liking and understanding and it develops slowly over time. It is often compared to the love that one has for a friend. In fact, people who experience this kind of love often fall in love with their friends.

Nurturing love: For some people, love is taking care of a person. It is the overwhelming desire to look after a partner like one would after a child or a parent. Such love is attentive, caring, compassionate and kind - an altruistic type of love.

Logical love: However oxymoronic it may sound, but there are some people who take a practical approach to love. It is a clear-cut way of thinking based on common sense and reason. People who experience this kind of love tend to pick a 'suitable' mate after much deliberation and thinking. Practical concerns underlie this type of love. source:The Times of India
