MAKING LOVE IS DIFFERENT FROM MAKING SEX

Image
Have Sex is a phrase that describes physical connection that leads to sexual pleasure, release and gratification. Making Love is all of this, but also emphasizes the deep emotional connection, affection and shared bond that develops between caring lovers. While making love is also to do with the state of mind, having sex is more about the physical relation.

RELATIONSHIP IS LIKE RUBBER BAND, NO MEN ARE LIKE RUBBER BANDS (PART 2)

A MAN AUTOMATICALLY ALTERNATES BETWEEN NEEDING INTIMACY AND AUTONOMY. For example, in the beginning of his relationship Jeff was strong and full of desire. His rubber band was fully stretched. He wanted to impress her, fulfill her, please her, and get close to her. As he succeeded she also wanted to get closer. As she opened her heart to his he got closer and closer. When they achieved intimacy he felt wonderful. But after a brief period a change took place. Imagine what happens to the rubber band. The rubber band becomes limp. Its power and stretch are gone. There is no longer any movement. This is exactly what happens to a man's desire to get close after intimacy has been achieved. Even though this closeness if fulfilling to a man, he will inevitably begin to go through an inner shift. He will begin to feel the urge to pull away. Having temporarily fulfilled his hunger for intimacy, he now feels his hunger to be independent, to be on his own. Enough of this needing another ...

RELATIONSHIP IS LIKE RUBBER BAND, NO MEN ARE LIKE RUBBER BANDS. (PART 1)

Men are like rubber bands. When they pull away, they can stretch only so far before they come springing back. A rubber band is the perfect metaphor to understand the male intimacy cycle. This cycle involves getting close, pulling away, and then getting close again. Most women are surprised to realize that even a man loves a woman, periodically he needs to pull away before he can get closer. Men instinctively feel this urge to pull away. It is not a decision or choice. It just happens. It is neither his fault nor her fault. It is a natural cycle. WHEN A MAN LOVES A WOMAN, PERIODICALLY HE NEEDS TO PULL AWAY BEFORE HE CAN GET CLOSER. Women misinterpret a man's pulling away because generally a woman pulls away for different reasons. She pulls back when she doesn't trust him to understand her feelings, when she has been hurt and is afraid of being hurt again, or when he has done something wrong and disappointed her. Certainly a man may pull away for the same reasons, but he wil...

It’s Okay to Be Imperfect

Many of us strive for the perfect house, the perfect relationship, the perfect body, or the perfect career, but is it really a good thing? “Nobody’s perfect, but perfectionists want to be that person who is,” says Gordon Flett, PhD, professor of psychology at York University in Toronto and specialist in the role of perfectionism in psychopathology. All that pressure gets exhausting, and may lead to chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and lack of self-acceptance, he says. When your inner control freak takes over, here’s how to let it go. FOUR (4) REASONS OF IMPERFECT 1. KEEP YOUR FOCUS Having things “just right” may seem like a good thing, but striving for perfection can actually hurt our ability to accomplish our goals, Flett says. In fact, he says there is no strong link between perfectionism and higher achievement. When we’re trying to be perfect, instead of focusing on the task, we get derailed and lose focus because we’re too worried about making a mistake. Solution: Set...

Why Women Live Longer Than Men

Image
Stress alone does not explain the longevity gap If there are any men left who still believe that women are the weaker sex, it is long past time for them to think again. With respect to that most essential proof of robustness. The power to stay alive: Women are tougher than men from birth through to extreme old age. The average man may run a 100-meter race faster than the average woman and lift heavier weights. But nowadays women outlive men by about five to six years. By age 85 there are roughly six women to every four men. At age 100 the ratio is more than two to one. And by age 122 the current world record for human longevity, the score stands at one-nil in favor of women. So why do women live longer than men? One idea is that men drive themselves to an early grave with all the hardship and stress of their working lives. If this were so, however, then in these days of greater gender equality, you might expect the mortality gap would vanish or at least diminish. Yet there...

Hon. James Abiodun Faleke (a.k.a. Arole 1): Graph into Kogi State Politic

Image
The All Progressives Congress, APC, has officially picked James Abiodun Faleke, the lawmaker representing Ikeja Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives as its deputy governorship candidate for Kogi State, North-Central Nigeria. He has carefully built his political career on the ideals and objectives of progressive politics anchored on the people-oriented, welfarist politics of the indefatigable leader of progressive politics in Nigeria today, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Right from his sojourn into politics during the days of the Alliance for Democracy (AD); moving on to the Action Congress (AC); and then to the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN); and now to the All Progressives Congress (APC), the politics of Faleke have remained the same: commitment and development of people’s welfare, total loyalty to the ideals and objectives of the party and determination and will to achieve success in any given endeavour. When he was elected Chairman of Ojodu Local Council Developme...
