Did You Lose Friends When You Coupled Up?

I just broke up with a good friend over the weekend. Long story short: She got a boyfriend, she got serious, she canceled on plans numerous times, and I needed pals I could trust.

It was tough and we both cried, just like a real breakup. Which is why it makes me bittersweet to report on recent research from Oxford University that found that we tend to lose two friends every time we enter a serious romantic relationship.

Yikes! But also understandable, especially as we get older and our romantic partners aren't necessarily in the same social circle. When I get involved with someone, I try to make time for my pals, but some things: girls nights, Gossip Girl watching marathons, early Saturday spin classes fall by the wayside. I think the best thing is to make the concerted effort to see pals, but then also to realize that maybe your friendship worked better when you were both single.

I think that was the case with me and my friend. A large part of our friendship centered on the fact that we were single, and we weren't entirely happy about it. And I really do wish her the best. It's still . . . breaking up is hard to do!

Have you ever had a best friend breakup? And how did you keep friends when you got close to your partner?

Who Are All the Celebs Cheating On?

Tiki Barber. Ashton Kutcher and David Beckham (allegedly). And, of course, Tiger.

What is up with all these men? Is it that guys in the spotlight have more chances of being caught cheating—what with paparazzi cameras everywhere, the fact that women who sleep with celebs are offered big bucks to kiss and tell, and that the 24/7 news cycle is desperate for something—or is it something more endemic in American culture?

Obviously, cheating is nothing new—but since when has cheating been a viable career path for women who crave the spotlight?

This is kind of old, but Tiki Barber's mistress, Traci Johnson, told all in her own words about her affair. Here's what she said:

This stumbling, well let’s be honest, in my case, falling flat on my face, was a recurrent theme in my relationship history. Scars and bruises of my past ill-fated trips down lover’s lane are ever present in my mind, so when I began dating my current boyfriend in the beginning of January 2010 I was optimistic, yet cautious.

1.Know your spouse

4.Bring back the passion when you are dating
5.Remember to compliment he/she

Sexify:Ice Special

Freezing cold against your skin stimulates both pain and temperature nerves,which are exactly the types of fibres which trigger your sex climax.The ice special takes advantage of this fact.Before intercourse,the wife places at the bedside a bowl of crushed ice wrapped in a wet towel.

Both partners strip and enjoy sex in any face-to-face posture with the husband on top.As the husband starts his final surge to climax,the wife picks up a handful of crushed ice or the cold towel.Just as the paroxysms of orgasm start,she puts the cold ice poultice against her husband crotch and keeps it there throughout.

The ice special works well in reverse also,with the wife astride and the husband performing the manoeuvre.In this position,however the technique calls for a perfectly-timed,mutual climax:the icy flood involves te husband as it cascades off the wife,and oftens upsets his erection-maintaining balance if it hits too early.

If you use ice on a preliminary female orgasm or if your timing sometimes abit off,use a method which avoids run-off.You can chill your hand in the ice bowl,then boost your wife's climax with the frigid hand instead of the ice itself,for instance.

Sex And Man's Eating Habits

Can a man's habits reveal much about the kind of lover he will be?Check it out.

1.The Exotic Eater.The man who likes to start dinner with escargots and finish with a pomegranate is adventurous and experimental and probably so in his sex life.

2.The Gourmet.He's finicky about his food and sends back the vichyssoise because its not cold enough and sweetbreads because they are not hot enough.He will probably be just as finicky in his love-making and be interested in quality,surroundings, and ambiance.If you are interested in quantity,he may not be the man for you.

3.The Meat and Potatoes Man.He is likely to be solid and dependable as a lover,but be prepared.

4.The Health Food And Vitamin Freak.He is careful about his health and his life.He probably studies the subject and will probably know enough about sex to lead a good healthy sex life.

5.The Hearty Eater.He may be a hearty and good lover.On the other hand,spending all that time eating and carrying around all that avoirdupois may make him sluggish in bed.

Number And Its Significance Part 2

4.You are very serious and lacking imagination.Love-making is real and earnest,and the form of the act is more important than the act itself.The way into your bed is through patience and indirection.Whatever your mates wants to do,you are likely to want just the opposite.

5.You are as energetic and resourceful in your love life as in anything else in your life.You are also restless and fickle.Rather than a comparison shopper,you are more apt to be an impulsive rolling stone who jumps into bed without thought-and then move outs and on to new experiences.Your partner must beware of trying to hold on to you because more than anything else you fear the loss of your freedom.The person who gets to you for a mate needs open hands.

6.You are idealistic and home-loving.You are a nester.Unfortunately for you,flattery is is irresistible to you and may affect your common sense in the selection of your mate.In bed you can be dominant or very giving.Contradiction is the key to your character and keeps your mate off the balance most of the time.

7.Your approach to sex is analytical and perfectionistic.You are likely to avoid emotional commitments because you find it hard to give up an intellectual approach.Your partner is likely to find you silent and withdrawn,You need a mate with an equally intellectual approach to sex,and the missionary position will suffice most of the time.You may break out in a rare display of spontaneity in bed,but that is rare.

8.You place great demands on your mate.You enjoy watching the performance,but generally you are more concerned with your own satisfaction.You are quite willing to use sex as a weapon.You need love but are not so ready to show it to your partner.

9.You love home and family and you make a faithful mate.you are also very possessive and can smother your partner with the intensity of your desires.You are a great romantic,easily disenchanted when the mate fails to remain on the pedestal you have created.If you lay the field you can find no happiness.For you,contentment is your own fine side.

Number And Its Sexual Significance

Basically,you just need to add together the day,month and year of your birth.This will always produce a four-digit number.Thus,if you were born in 12May 1978,you:

12+5+1978=1995

Then,add these four digits together:1+9+9+5=24

If you get a single digit,leave it.If the result is 2 digit,add the 2 digit again:2+4=6

Here is the Sexual Significance of your number.Just use it as a guide as it is not entirely true.

1.Your sex life will be creative and original.On the other hand,some of your partners may find you over-talkative.You want to dominate your partner.Your mate requires warmth and patience.Affection is necessary to your well being.

2.You are sensitive and modest to the point of fearful shyness.You go to the extremes that result in strong,unreasoned likes and dislikes.you can't stand any hint of coarseness in your partner.You reach for permanent relationships.No one-night stands for you.Your mate must surround you with an orderly and beautiful environment in order to reap your rich rewards.

3.You can give great joy to your partner and express yoursef bubbling fun.However,you are moody and like to indulge in extravagant gossip,which could make you a 'kiss and tell' partner.If your mate isn't wary of criticising you,you would become cold and unforgiving.You would reject a lover for a thoughtless word and mourn later for your hastiness.

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2010 to all the readers out there.Wish you guys/gals have a smooth year ahead.Enjoy yourselves^^.
