Here's three necessary pathways that both women AND men need to get comfortable with to enjoy ecstatic sex and an overflow of orgasmic energy: Nudity. Full blown in your face nudity. Nudity can feel so fucking vulnerable, but feeling completely free and at ease in our own skin is essential for great sex. Not just naked with our lovers - also free to be naked in front of friends, sisters, brothers, and our children. If you don’t feel comfortable naked, it’s time to work on the body shame, the self-consciousness ... the dislike of your beautiful body. This is a key piece to enjoying ecstatic sex. Acceptance that sex isn’t always pretty. It’s raw. It’s messy. It’s loud (like sometimes weirdly loud sounds that are not glam). It’s unpredictable. Accept that real sex is about accepting all that unfolds and choose to make love to people who love and adore you in these messy moments. Shame exists. Pretty much all of us carry some shame and guilt around sex. I know I still do (and

Three tenants were left in a sorry state yesterday morning after they were reportedly flogged mercilessly by soldiers at Lekki Palm City Estate, Ajah.  It was gathered that the soldiers acted on the orders of their landlord, identified as Majuka Nnamdi Emmanuel. Trouble reportedly started after a tenant identified as Ayo, demanded for a refund of his N1.3m rent, following a robbery attack on his house, just days after moving in, a report by stated. He allegedly reported the robbery case at the Alagbon police station but nothing came out of the investigation. Feeling unsafe, he contacted the agent for a refund of the remainder of his rent, asking him to deduct the cost of the days he had spent in the house. The agent delivered the message to the landlord, but Majuka refused, insisting that he can't get a refund except someone else moves in and then he can partly refund Ayo. The argument for a refund went on for some time. However, to the surprise of the tenants, they w

President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated that the driving force for seeking public office should be to serve the people, improve their lives and not for frivolity or personal ambition. "I am not in politics for fun, frivolity or to amass wealth, I have always been driven by a deep sense of commitment to make a difference to lives of our people." This is contained in a statement signed by Malam Garba Shehu, his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity. The statement said that Buhari made this known at the All Progressives Party’s (APC) Ward Congress held at Bayagida Model Primary School, Daura, Katsina State on Saturday. The president also maintained that the passion to serve and see real changes in the lives of Nigerians informed his choice to join partisan politics in the first place. He said the zeal inspired him to contest elections in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015. Buhari said that his decision to seek a second term in office was borne out of a deep passi

Here's a brief excerpts of the interview the President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Samson Ayokunle, had with Punch. You said President Muhammadu Buhari should forget about his second term bid if security is not improved on? Can you throw more light on this? If I am not sure I will be safe as it looks now, how do we commit the future into his hands? We don’t vote people because we want them to go and sit down in government. Are they there for a jamboree? If security issue remains this way, will CAN raise a candidate using a political platform?  We are not politicians in CAN. Christians can decide on their own to contest. Apart from security, which other areas would you advise the government to improve on?  Infrastructure is number one. There is less supply of electricity. This is the third year of this administration and all we hear are promises. Did the rest of the world get their electricity from heaven? Why has our own not arrive yet? Collap

Arsenal FC turned on the style, on Sunday to thrash Burnley 5-0 in Arsene Wenger’s final home game as manager. The 68-year-old, who has won 10 major trophies during a near 22-year reign, oversaw a dominant, free-flowing display in his 1,233rd game, with slick first-half goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.  Another after the break was started and finished explosively by Alex Iwobi, one of 83 academy graduates to come through the ranks under Wenger, after Sead Kolasinac had scored with a powerful low drive. Aubameyang got his second from close range to complete the rout. Wenger was given a guard of honour by both teams before kick-off and urged supporters, some of whom have long called for his exit, to “no matter what, keep the faith” in quotes tweeted by the club. Fans of both sides frequently chanted “There’s only one Arsene Wenger”, and Arsenal’s supporters also sang the name of former midfielder Patrick Vieira, who has been among the nam
