Here's what Spooning means during sex and how to do it right Posted: 05 Dec 2021 06:00 AM PST If you have had a partner or a friend, there is a chance you have practised spooning without knowing it.Spooning is a way of cuddling where two individuals lie down facing the same direction. The concept "spooning" was formed from the position of spoons stacked in the cutlery holding.The spoon in front is usually called the "little spoon," while the one at the back is the "big spoon." Hence, when two people are positioned like these spoons, it can be called "big spoon little spoon cuddling." In spooning among couples, partners, or even friends, the taller person stays and the back and is called the big spoon. At the same time, the smaller person who stays in the front is called the little spoon. Why spooning? One of the reasons couples spooning is practised and loved is the surreal feeling it provides both parties. When you are in the spooning position with your partner, both of you will feel loved and cared for. Since spooning involves physical proximity, it can help to bring couples together both physically and emotionally. This act is a private one where partners are not shy to show their feelings to each other naturally, and it answers the question, "what is spooning in a relationship?" For couples who are struggling with their sexual life, spooning can be a great way to improve sexual intimacy and attraction in the relationship. Benefits of spooning If you have been spooning with your partner without knowing its merits, here are some benefits to be aware of. It increases your emotional bond with your partner When you spoon with your partner, you become more intimate with them. It is easy to spoon; all you have to do is lay on the side with your partner and face the same direction as spoons. During spooning, the oxytocin hormone is released, which creates this special bond between partners. When this is practised more often, there is a reduced chance of conflicts in the relationship. It improves the quality of sleep If you find it difficult to fall asleep, you should try spooning with your partner often. Before you roll to the other side of the bed to continue sleeping, you can have a short spooning session with your partner. Spooning helps your body relax, and it helps you stop overthinking, which in turn helps you sleep better at night. It improves your sex life Usually, when partners struggle to keep their sex life on track, experts would generally advise that they spend time spooning and cuddling together. When you spoon with your partner, it implies that you are shutting out all of life's distractions to concentrate on you and your partner. Spooning helps to increase intimacy which helps couples to have better sex. It reduces stress level Sometimes, the stress of work can take its toll on you, and you will be looking forward to getting home and de-stressing. One way to achieve this is to practice spooning. Since spooning provides similar benefits as cuddling, you will be able to fight off stress when you spoon with your partner. How to do it right Spooning can occur based on two major precedents. First, it might be regular cuddling between couples who want to experience intimacy and love. Also, spooning might be an avenue to engage in sexual activities. If you want to spoon, and your partner is not in the mood, it is better not to go further because the situation could become awkward. Some couples spoon after sex and fall asleep after, and this happens if there is a mutual agreement. Spooning is a profound way to connect emotionally and physically, but it can get uncomfortable after a long time. Hence, one of the important spooning tips is to communicate with your partner. You can have a short conversation with them before spooning to ensure that everyone enjoys that moment. |
6 Lagosians share why they didn't ask for a 2nd date Posted: 05 Dec 2021 05:00 AM PST Sometimes all you need is one date to figure out you never want to see someone again.Lagos is a fast-paced city and the dating scene moves at the same breakneck speed.Many people choose not to go on a second date because of what happens during the first. Some reasons are petty, but others are important. Here are why a second date was never in the works for these people: David said he couldn't go on a second date with a young lady because, "She kept taking Snapchat videos and wanted to go to the toilet to take mirror selfies." Sandra also didn't want to go on a second date because, "I didn't like his perfume." As petty as that might sound, she also did admit she wasn't the least bit interested in him before the first date. It was the food for Tope. He had bought his date so much food, including 'ice-cream that was worth N7,000', but she still wanted moi-moi too, and that put him off. Dayo said his date had asked for money and he gave her. Then she kept asking for more. "She was also addicted to smoking." For Bisi, "He asked for sex on the first date but couldn't afford the hotel of the restaurant we were at. He wanted us to find a cheaper hotel." Daniel said he couldn't go on a second date because, "She doesn't like head." You only get one chance to make a good first impression, and most people blow it on the first date. |
Natural body defects people are self-conscious about Posted: 05 Dec 2021 04:30 AM PST Natural skin conditions can be beautiful or make the owner self-conscious.There are some body defects that people are self-conscious about but they occur naturally or they are born with them.Although some people might see them as beautiful, others do not. 1. Stretch marks Stretch marks appear as long, narrow streaks or stripes on parts of the body like the abdomen, breasts, hips, and so on. They are usually lighter than the skin colour and so noticeable. Extreme weight gain can lead to prominently red stretch marks with veins showing. Pregnancy and puberty can also cause stretch marks to appear. They aren't painful or cause health problems, but they can be an issue of embarrassment to people, most likely women, that have them. 2. Moles and beauty spot Beauty spots and moles are little black growths on the skin. They can appear in different parts of the body. Moles refer to these growths that do not look good, while beauty spots are beautiful, but they are in fact the same thing. It all depends on the placement of the mole or the perspective of the person. 3. Freckles Although it is not too common, African people can have freckles. These are dark spots on the face and body. Nigerian-British singer, Sade Adu, and American singer, SZA, both have freckles. 4. Vitiligo Vitiligo is a skin defect that causes white patches to appear on a black person's skin. It cannot be cured. Michael Jackson had it and model Winnie Harlow lives with it. 5. Dark knuckles Dark knuckles can be a reaction to certain creams and drugs, but dark knuckles can be gotten genetically and naturally and is not a reaction to bleaching. Since these are natural body defects, it's helpful if people are not stigmatised for them. However, there is also nothing wrong with trying to change them if you are not comfortable. |
Know this things before getting Botox treatment Posted: 05 Dec 2021 04:00 AM PST For years, Botox has been well known for its ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face, including creases on the forehead and near the eyes.Botox can also be used for the treatment of other conditions like excessive sweating and chronic migraines.What is Botox? You might have heard Botox several times without knowing the meaning. It is an injectable drug that is used to smoothen wrinkles and give people a younger appearance. Trained and qualified professionals only use Botox for medical and cosmetic purposes. If you are considering getting a Botox treatment, below are some things you need to know. 1. Look for a qualified doctor Always go for a certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or medical professional. They have the necessary experience and training required to help you safely achieve the results you want. Also, if you experience any side effects, they'll be available and well-equipped to treat you. 2. Botox is safe When carried out by a medical professional, Botox is a safe procedure, so you do not have anything to worry about. The overall risk is minor, but it is advisable not to receive treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. 3. It does not erase wrinkles Some wrinkles like forehead lines form due to the contraction of the muscle located directly underneath them. Botox blocks the nerve signals that trigger the muscle contractions, and the wrinkles will appear smoother, but they won't be completely gone. 4. You may feel discomfort Although the Botox experience varies from person to person, the pain is usually minimal. The needle for injection is often tiny, and a topical anesthetic can be applied before you receive the shot to numb the pain totally. As for the side effects, they are also very minimal. Slight redness and bruising at the injection spots are the most common. Rare effects can include nausea and headache. You won't see the results of your Botox immediately after treatment. Most times, it can take seven days or more to see the full result. If you have additional questions, consult your doctor. |
What makes the Igbo apprenticeship system special Posted: 05 Dec 2021 03:30 AM PST The Igbos from southeastern Nigeria are known to be entrepreneurial.The Igbo apprenticeship system called 'Imu-Ahia' (meaning 'to learn a trade') is the popular way of practicing trade among the Igbos.The system is so popular and widespread that it was acknowledged by Harvard Business Review which defined it is stakeholder capitalism. It is a way of setting up businesses that helps members of the community, the community itself and everyone involved. The set up is simple: the boss has a shop, warehouse or craft. He then gets young boys from the village to work for him for free while he provides accommodation and feeding. At the end of the agreed period and after learning the rudiments of the business, the young boy, now a young man, is given goods and money to start his own business What makes the Igbo apprenticeship system special is the focus on the community and the distribution of wealth. Instead of one person being the sole owner of a big business, he teaches others and they go on to establish their own businesses in that community or elsewhere and then wealth is redistributed amongst people. It is believed that this system of apprenticeship started because of the harsh economic effect of the civil war which left the Igbos at an economic disadvantage in the 70s. Others believe it goes as far back as during the slave trade in the 15th century. The downside of this system is that it places the fate of the young man on the goodwill of his master. He could be treated unkindly and given nothing at the end of his apprenticeship. |
