Re: Vibrator wife: the way the cookie crumbles

Just before the elections, I published the unfortunate development on the story of a young couple battling with problems of sexual differences. The wife had finally been kicked out by her in-laws who were unable to understand nor appreciate why the couple should still remain together, especially after four years of marriage without a child. The problem had started when the husband referred to as “worried guy” caught his wife in their matrimonial bed with a vibrator.

But last year, I met another guy at a conference and we clicked well and ended up talking for hours. However, one thing led to another and things happened that I never intended to happen.

Remember mummy and daddy Samson? Yes, the young, beautiful couple with four lovely kids whom I’d always thought were the perfect couple. Or so it was until the great revelation one fateful night. The story concludes below. From what I gathered that night, their fights had become a regular occurrence in the compound. The more I processed all that I was hearing, the more the respect and admiration I had built in six months for daddy Samson slipped away.

Why older men tend to be more sexually active than women

Why older men tend to be more sexually active than women

Age is no barrier to an active love life, research shows. For among the 70s, more than half of men and almost a third of women say they are still sexually active. Of these, one in three say they have sex at least twice a month. The University of Manchester study was the first of its kind to include men and women aged 80-plus. It also found that love and affection stand the test of time, with many in their 70s and 80s saying they still indulge in frequent kissing.

ON the surface, it is completely realistic. You want sex. You want it now. A willing partner has the hots for you and, if you had any sense, you would go for it. Who knows when the next opportunity would rear its head. Right? Well, wrong! Not if you have a steady relationship with someone else. When Yanju met Mercy at a stag night for a colleague, he believed she was the type he could fall for. “I was in between girlfriends and there she was, bossomy with a British accent.

‘I thought my husband was too handsome to marry me’

Not every man a woman meets is meant to be his wife and not every relationship must end up in marriage because there are husband materials and friend materials, but when people end up marrying those who ought to be just friends, they would end up having all manner of marital problems. But when a man marries his real wife, ordained for him by God and a woman marries a man ordained for her by God, even if they encounter problems along the line, they always overcome because God has purposed them to be together.

Should I watch porn with my wife?

Should I watch porn with my wife?

Recently, my wife confessed she always had a desire to watch porn with me. I’m thrilled but a little confused. I’ve often watched alone or with my close friends for a laugh. What sort of porn would be suitable for both of use to watch? And what do I do whilst she’s watching it? Do I look at writhing figures on the screen or at her? Will she get upset if I get turned on looking at the girls on screen? Am I supposed to say she looks hotter than they do, even if she doesn’t? Should we then make love immediately after?

I think that too much emphasis is placed on sex these days and I’m a bit cynical about relationships. This worries me a lot. I am a 28-year-old girl and have lost count of the number of men I have slept with.

However, you need to tell your husband how you feel, I bet he doesn’t realise how at risk your marriage is. Once he does, he would want to support you more.

Perception, sometimes far from the truth!

Perception, sometimes far from the truth!

There are always two sides to every story or event, especially when it involves two or more persons. Our perception may depend on which side of the account we hear. We forget that disputes occur when people disagree on issues, especially when they fail to see things from each other’s perspectives, regardless of what is right or wrong. Unfortunately, the loudest or most popular arguments may not always be the correct or true account of events. And for this, we all often make grave mistakes and take unwarranted actions.
