Oteh assumed office after the crash in stock market. Prof. Ndidi Okereke-Onyiuke should be arrested for financial mismanagement during her tenure as head of NSE. Okereke-Onyiuke is always involved in controversies.She had a problem with Dangote and later was accused of collecting donations for Obama election.
Reps panel on the other hand are like kettle calling kettle black. They have no integrity. Majority of them are there for their own pocket and not for the development of Nigeria. - May 9, 2012 at 11:41 AM
Definitely the truth, and the real truth is yet to be exposed by the women GLADIATORS !

See her winch face as ebe. Chopping money can never change ugliness. Tufiakwa!!!

I find it weird that most of these "powerful" Naija women always hypen their maiden name including their hubby's name.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala...Ndidi Okereke-Onyiuke...
If I'm the husband, bitch berra decide who she married. Her papa or me! Nonsense! - May 9, 2012 at 12:43 PM
Ndidi Okereke-Onyiuke is a fat fool! This is one of Nigerian tragedies. A thief put in charge of people's money. This is the same woman conducting a "Fund raiser" for USA President Obama in Lagos, Nigeria! Imagine that. Ndidi Okereke-Onyiuke, Soludo and the banks CEOs messed up Nigeria's financial sectors. These people should have locked and never to be heard from again.I alaways get mad whenever i see Okereke-Onyiuke's ugly face and body. Fucking Pen robbers.

The actions two women suggests that neither of their hands is clean! They are both bloody rogues; a disgrace to womanhood........Ndi Okereke nah Rolex freak. I have never seen her ever without putting on an expensive rolex wristwatch and different jewelries. With all these expensive accessories she looks like a beast....#Godforgivemychoiceofwords#.
She not only succeeded in wrecking the stock exchange but illegally enriching herself and her cohorts or cartel.....the like of Aliko Dangote, Oba Otudeko etc.
Mrs Arunma Oteh isn't any better spending several millions of naira just eating in a country were a millions of graduates are unemployed! #Godiswatching# I pity all our leaders that have plundered this country; a divine revolution is around the corner.......make dem continue their days are numbered! - May 9, 2012 at 1:54 PM

How is a probe of the in-fighting within SEC in recent times connected to the crash of the Nigerian stock market in 2008?
No system is ever changed without casualties,the old will always fight the new. Please can we focus on the issues. - May 9, 2012 at 2:20 PM
I seriously don't know whether this is the right platform to discuss these issues.. and Linda you would have stated Ndi's claims verbatim rather than just saying SEC's side of the story.
From my little knowledge of the capital market, SEC's intervention only worsened matters, and what we have here is a power tussle by two organisations trying to seek relevance.
From my little knowledge as a partaker in this market, SEC is a redundant and very incompetent regulatory authority, which is yet to come to grasp with its real purpose in the financial markets. They should take a cue from the likes of PENCOM and now NAICOM, CBN sef don dey try small small in the eyes of the operators.
I know Ndi had her excesses, but you don't use illegality to fight illegality. And has she proved yesterday, NSE is private company, limited by guarantee (people should read before they talk). NSE's profits are not shared like a normal company, so all the allegations of sharing money is unfounded, because how would they have shared their windfall.
Secondly, the NSE is a company made up of stockbrokers, by stockbrokers, for stockbrokers... its functions is to ensure the mutual trading platform which would ensure that its members investment objectives are met is running optimally. If SEC can prove that that function wasn't being met, then they have something to say. Because if you ask any stockbroker, NSE wasn't the real reason for the slump in our market. The slump in the market was because of the slump in the price of oil globally, and Nigeria being solely dependent on oil for its revenue was definitely going to head to a recession for this. Unfortunately, the people's savior Mr Sanusi, didn't manage the crisis well, he dismembered 40% of our financial sector in one night, and our market being heavily dependent on the success of the banking sector was definitely going to crash.
Our people should stop trading blames and face the real issue, our economy is like the proverbial house built with straw (from the 3 little pigs), any small blow by the werewolf would leave us exposed. - May 9, 2012 at 2:30 PM

- May 10, 2012 at 11:09 AM
I don't mean to be insultive but i think we should not only learn to read, we should also try to understand. Also, the ability to listen is most important because when you listen, you learn more. Like Prof. rightly said, she is not an angel...If most of us passing comment(s) had listen to the prob from the outset, i'm very sure we won't be passing these derogatory comments about the Prof. So far, Arumah Oteh has refused to answer any form of question(s) posed to her rather resorting to petty blackmail to appear innocent while Prof. has proven her mettle by answering all questions asked by the committee. My question is, who is lying? The person refusing to tell us why she aggreed to sell up people's live investment without recourse to them (shares holders) and refusing to answer salient questions OR the person who has answered to say "you don't leave an ill child to treat a healthy child." Keep cursing the Prof. most of you will never get to where she is. She might be ungly but she has got the brains to be relevant.
Peace. - May 10, 2012 at 11:46 AM
Nigerian are easily swayed by falsehood. why running into conclusion by the propaganda of SEC. The revelation of yesterday will tell in a short while who is telling the truth.The current leadership of SEC are killing the capital market by the revelation of yesterday. Let not rush into conclusion to condemn but wait to hear more from the revelations emanating from the public hearing.However, Prof Ndi Oyiuke Okereke tenure witnessed a great period in the life of the investment public before this present charade.

It is a pity that people who went to school can't seem to make simple analysis. I watched Ndi's presentation, and one could not but feel sad that this woman who caused innocent investors like me to lose their lives savings came into the House and was given airtime to whitewash her reputation. A lot of those who write are probably in the rented crowd category or just know nothing about the capital market. If they did, Okereke Onyiuke is 150% culpable for the collapse (not near collapse) of the mkt. anyone watching would see that the whole hearing both the botched and present was put together for the sole purpose of rubbishing Ms. Oteh. From everything, her so called Commissioners who together with Ndi's oversaw the mess of a market where all sorts of fraud went on, cannot stand someone coming to clean the market. where we're they when the mkt crashed? With all the stupid meetings they had, how come the mkt stank and Ndi was uncontrollable & untouchable leaving the NSE bankrupt? What manner of committee would ignore the. Truth and come to waste tax payers money questioning Ms Oteh about project 50 & employment of 2 pro bono staff as if govt offices are not filled with seconded private sector staff. Who are they deceiving. The house has again shown the sham it is. Emeka Ihedioha has a lot to answer for this

11 clever meteor tweets we wish we'd thought of
You've heard the news about the meteor (not meteorite or asteriod) that caused an enormous explosion in Russia. But perhaps your reservoir of space jokes is suffering a drought. Not to fear. If there's one thing Twitter excels at, it's humor in the face of calamity.
- At first, media companies struggled to find the right words to describe the event. Literally. The right words.
- Doug might also be unimpressed.
- There were more than 115,000 tweets posted about the meteor in just a couple of hours. Twitter had predictably (but not literally) exploded.
- Remember back in 2008 when former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house?
- Technically some guy would have probably said something like, "этот день не может быть хуже," which isn't very funny unless you speak Russian.
- No response from @PiersMorgan. Yet. Maybe Paul should have included a remark about his right to own a gun to protect himself from said meteor.
- Remember when Marco Rubio's water bottle became a "thing" on Twitter? @JakeFogelnest is on a personal mission to stop parody accounts. Where do we sign up?
- Hello, this is @jakefogelnest. As a public service, I have registered this Twitter account to prevent another parody account.
- Thanks to Scott for bringing it full circle.

Recent FIS NewsBelow you will find a listing of recent FIS News Find your newsGreat conclusion for Sierra Nevada 2012 The FIS Junior Snowboard World Championships concluded Sunday on the Sulayr Snowpark course in Sierra Nevada, Spain. Despite record low amounts of snow, the Organizing Committee managed a successful Championship. Thirteen different nations were awarded 30 medals across five events for ladies and men during the ten-day championships. Russia, showing their strength leading up to the Sochi 2014 Games, received the highest number of medals with six podiums as Switzerland and France were close behind, each winning five medals. The coveted Marc Hodler Trophy, awarded to the nation with the highest cumulative results in the top ten across all events, went to Switzerland for the second year in a row. Thanks to their strong team performance in PGS, PSL, SBX, halfpipe and slopestyle, the Swiss delegation took home to trophy as the best team at Sierra Nevada 2012. Although Switzerland came out on top, FIS Race Director Peter Krogoll was very happy with the number of nations showing promise as eight different nations won gold medals in the ten events. "It is always interesting that we have so many different nations participating and competing for the medals. Many small nations are taking the chance to send athletes, and the results have shown it worthwhile," he stated following the final ceremonies. He continued: "It was a big success and the best test for the Organizing Committee for future competitions. Even with their great experience from the past such as the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in 1996 and other World Cups it was a challenge to organize a Junior World Championship in Snowboard, especially with the new events of halfpipe and slopestyle." He concluded: ""We've been lucky to collaborate with such a fantastic Organizer as Sierra Nevada since they provide a fantastic venue for all our disciplines- we are looking forward to the 2013 Snowboard and Freestyle World Cup Finals and hopefully, the FIS Snowboard and Freestyle World Championships 2017." Also impressed by the success of the event were the FIS judges. The FIS Slopestyle judge representing Spain, Jesus Fiochi, noted that both athletes are now at a level with tricks that were once reserved for only for Olympic Winter Games. He referred specifically to the "backside double cork" rotation which, according to Fiochi, is a maneuver "used by only the best in the world and only a very few times...[the trick] began to run shortly before the Vancouver 2010 Olympics and today it has been in Sierra Nevada! " The slopestyle gold medalist on the ladies side, Katarzyna Rusin of Poland, is already looking towards the future: "The slope was very well done, so we must thank the shapers who have done a great job. I love Sierra Nevada and I hope to come next year to the finals of the Snowboard World Cup." The Organizers were pleased with the outcome of the two weeks of competitions. "Not only for Sierra Nevada but for FIS and the whole of the snow industry, it is very important to offer something which is able to attract the youth to the slopes. The Snowboard Junior World Championships fit perfectly with this goal," concluded Eduardo Venuzuala, Sierra Nevada Mountain Manager. As the sun set on Spain's southernmost mountains, the closing ceremony of the FIS Junior Snowboard World Championships was celebrated with 7 DJs, two 80 square meter LED screens, towering audio masts amongst a well-attended crowd of athletes, volunteers, spectators and staff.

10-4A GIRLS BASKETBALL: Highland Park hands West Mesquite rare district loss
By DEVIN HASSON, email@example.com
During its streak of district championships, West Mesquite has shown the ability to rise to the occasion whenever a serious challenge has been presented.
But in one of the early showcase games of the 10-4A season, it was Highland Park that stole the show, racing to a huge early lead on its way to a 65-54 victory over the Wranglers on Thursday.
The Scots improve to 4-0 and are tied for first place with Carrollton Newman Smith, while West Mesquite slips back into third place at 3-1.
West Mesquite made a strong surge to close the game, but it fell far short. Claudia Price had 20 points, while Tamia Culligan and Alexis Jordan each added 11 for the Wranglers.
At the other end of the standings, Poteet's rough season continued with a 51-37 loss to Carrollton Creekview.
The Pirates were hoping to pick up their first 10-4A win and push themselves back into the playoff race, but instead fell to 0-4.
Poteet trailed by double digits after the first quarter but got back to within 22-16 at halftime. Creekview reestablished control in the second half, though, steadily pulling away for the win.
Shyari Cheathem shouldered the scoring load for the Pirates with 25 points but no other player had more than four.
The 10-4A teams have little time to rest, as they will return to the court on Saturday.
West Mesquite has another huge contest as it hosts co-leader Carrollton Newman Smith. If the Wranglers come up short, they would fall two games off the 10-4A lead.
Poteet also has a big opportunity as it takes on Terrell in a battle of winless teams. The winner of this contest will not only earn its first district victory, but also be right back in the postseason mix.
Highland Park 4-0 16-5
Carrollton Newman Smith 4-0 13-8
West Mesquite 3-1 17-7
Carrollton Creekview 2-2 5-13
Forney 1-2 9-12

Terrell 0-3 1-10
Poteet 0-4 7-15

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
This exercise will help build your mental endurance and concentration. Each line contains a common phrase that has been printed backwards. See how long it takes you identify and read the phrase correctly.

noun :: The quality or state of being flat, thin, or insipid; flat commonness; triteness; staleness of ideas of language. noun :: A thought or remark which is flat, dull, trite, or weak; a truism; a commonplace. "A trite platitude about his not caring to lose her was on his lips, but he refrained from uttering it." -- London, Jack We're sorry to say that there is no "secret technique" or "quick fix" that will give you a miraculous memory. If you want to improve your memory ability, you are going to need to learn a variety of different techniques that you can apply to different situations. Just like you would pick a hammer (not a saw) to drive a nail, you'll need to pick the right memory tool for each memory task.
Some of the things that will affect which memory tool you choose are: How familiar with the topic are you? What are you trying to remember (names, facts, numbers, etc)? How specific does your memory need to be (concepts only, word-for-word)? How long do you need to remember this information? We will present a tool for each situation, so if you practice our exercises, you will eventually have a complete tool chest of memory techniques. |

FLOSS SACHET,VEGAN,CRNBRY, CT by Radius, 0085178001967
RADIUS was founded on the Caribbean island of Tortola. James O'Halloran and Kevin Foley were architects who were fascinated by the idea of a functional and enjoyable toothbrush. They were appalled at the small head, hard toothbrushes of the day. Research indicates that the major problem in oral hygiene is that of compliance - people don't use toothbrushes for long enough and tend to keep their toothbrush for too long. Dentists believe that with diligence - teeth and gums could be perfectly maintained for a lifetime. The average brushing time is from 31 to 65 seconds, depending on age or sex. The average toothbrush is thrown away after 10 months. RADIUS aimed to make the toothbrush comfortable, enjoyable and effective.

hey im very embarrassed to have to post this, but things have come to a point where im emotionally and physically desperate.
My boyfriend is amazing he kisses me and is affectionate, our domestic life is so great but we dont have sex anymore. He specifically said to me the other night we should both just masturbate because hes lazy and getting me off is too much work. I dont blame him, often his arm would get tired and he'd have to stop. But while ive performed various sexual acts for him multiple times in a week, he touches me sexually about 10 times per year. I feel awful, like ive done something wrong, i feel unattractive and disgusting and im actually quite depressed.
I know sex isnt everything in a relationship, i know that two people can love each other without sex, but my situation is very specific.
I cant masturbate for a number reasons and i dont know how to fix it.
I dont get aroused for myself, ive tried to run my hands along other parts of my body, and while some are more sensitive than others, it just feels mute and not arousing. No matter what i do ive always been dry, nothing swells, i can never find my clit, even if i rub the spot where its supposed to come out from under the hood it just feels intense but not in a pleasurable way, more like someone dragging their nails down my skin.
I like internal penetration more, but it doesn't feel like anything really, and usually i cant do it, both my hands are disabled for different reasons, my left hand and wrist is shattered and doesnt bend much at all. My right one is permanently burned and cracks open and flakes all over, whenever i try to pleasure myself internally with it, it becomes a searing burning pain and i have to run it under cold water for ten minutes just for the burned skin to calm down.
i have a toy but it keeps my boyfriend up at night, he says i should use it when hes gone, but were home at the same time between my work and his schooling.
It doesnt bring me much pleasure though, i just dont feel anything much internally but clit stimulation doesnt feel good either.
Someone said i might havd FSAD but dont people with FSAD have no desire for sexual pleasure? Because i do, i definitely do, but i cant get aroused, no matter how hard or long i try, 3 hours 4 hours, all night till the morning comes and im exhausted and unsatisfied.
I haven't been touched in nearly 3 months im desperate but i cant get aroused and everything hurts and i cant stop spontaneously crying.
i dont know what to do?

I'm so sorry you're feeling so bad and are struggling with this.
You know, the issues in your relationship aside, it sounds like it's past time for you to really explore and discover your own sexuality, as it exists without this partner or any other. Even when things are going well sexually in a relationship, they're always only going to go so well if anyone in the relationship really doesn't have some ownership and prowess when it comes to their sexuality, all by themselves, about themselves.
Before going to masturbation -- and obviously, hopefully, it's a given that your boyfriend can masturbate whenever he likes, without your permission -- I'd suggest investing some time and energy just starting by trying to identify your own expreiences and sense of pleasure and desire. And before going to a sexual place with that, I'd start with other kinds of pleasure and desire, in other areas of your life.
Are you up for talking about that? If so, I'd be happy to help as I can.
if you are up for that, perhaps you can write a little about ways you experience desire -- a strong want for something, anything, but let's not make it about sex -- and pleasure -- a deep enjoyment of something, anything at all, perhaps including something (again, not sex) where you experience pleasure in both your body and your mind. can you think of some things like that and talk about them a little here?
(A little later on, btw, if you want, we can talk about options for masturbation with vaginal entry, per toys. I have a hand disability myself, so I understand that this can present some challenges.)

Thank you for the prompt reply Heather, i greatly appreciate your input.
Yes my boyfriend can masturbate whenever he likes, hes very considerate and quiet or does it when im away, i have no qualms about it.
Im not really sure if i can remember a time where i had a burning desire for anything really, im pretty frugal, but i have small desires? To play video games, or to go out for a smoke occasionally, but when i entertain either i usually don't find a whole lot of enjoyment, mostly disappointment.
But i guess that's because i have had depression my whole life.
Ive never had a lifestyle where i could want things or take the time to enjoy them.
Im so sorry that wasnt a very helpful answer but this is a very new and saddening realization for me, so i dont know what to say?

I don't need instant magic: I'm fine to talk for a while -- days, weeks or moths even -- if you like. There's no hurry on my end, nor a need for you to magically have all the answers to anything right away.
I hear you on where you're at with desire. What about, say, a desire to eat things you like? Or to be with people you care about? Desires in terms of life goals or dreams? If with those things, you still come up mostly empty, can I ask if you have any current or past history with depression, or if that's something you've ever been evaluated for?
How about with pleasure, and the questions I asked about that?

Thank you for your patience, i never expected things to get fixed instantly i was just saying that its nice to have some support. I dont think i can rush something like this.
Food isn't really appealing, some is better than others. I dont have a lot of people whom i am close to. And im not really sure where i want to go with my life. I guess id like to buy my own house in the future and grow lots of plants at some point in time maybe?
Ive had clinical depression since i was a very young child, ive been treated for it by my psychiatrists since i was a teenager.
The only thing i can think about that brings me pleasure is my family?
My family is boyfriend and our cat, if i can make either of them happy im happy.
Member # 3
If, as it sounds, you are finding that you have deeply diminished desire and pleasure in life -- what I'd call a lack of zeal or passion for living, ultimately -- and you have a history of depression, it's very likely that that is, if not THE central issue, a biggie.
Can I ask what your course of treatment is? If it's medication without talk therapy, have you tried adding talk therapy? If you do both, have you talked about all or any of this -- sexually or otherwise -- with your therapist or prescribing physician?

I can understand why that would play a big part in self satisfaction.
I am being treated with medication and talk therapy, and i have asked him about this before but he said that that wasn't his area of expertise and didn't have any helpful advise or tips.
Member # 3
So, the answer was that this person couldn't talk to you at all about sexual issues? or about lack of pleasure and desire in your life, period?
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
Yes he told me he really doesnt know anything about these kinds of issues.
im sorry
Member # 3
You don't have to be sorry, but he should be.
Seriously, sexual issues and generally diminished desire and a sense of pleasure are HIGHLY common issues for people with depression, and anyone treating anyone with depression should have at least some knowledge, experience and expertise with them. At the very least, if they don't, they should be apologizing for such a big lack on their part and have another, more qualified therapist they refer patients to.
Is it possible for you to switch to a more qualified therapist? Because a) these are big issues, and are for you right now, and b) honestly, a therapist working with patients with depression who just has nothing on these things probably isn't someone very good to begin with in general.
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
He is actually quite a good therapist and we talk about all the things i need to talk about except that.
I have a lot of insecurities about switching doctors, or new doctors, or doctors in general.
I don't know... Id have to think about that for a really long time, we have a shortage of doctors in my town, and most of them are awful, horrible people who shouldn't be doctors, honestly.
Member # 3
So, it sounds like this therapist has been good for you in some ways, but in this one major way, there's a big bunch of nothing.
Really, with this longtime history of depression, and with all of this likely at least highly influenced by your depression, I just wouldn't know how to advise you to deal with it well, and sort it out, without at least some real address of it in therapy. At the very least, an address of feeling like you have little desire or pleasure in your life, period (which I just can't figure how a therapist who works with depression has no experience with, because really, that's,. overall, the biggest part of what depression really is in a person's life).
Maybe there's somewhere in the middle to meet here? Am I right that you HAVE asked him about finding little pleasure in life period, and feeling like you have few feelings of desire in any aspect of your life? Sorry if this is a rerun, I just didn't get a sense of if this was only about sex where he said he couldn't address this or even offer a referral or any other helps.
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
The two of us have worked on feeling happy, but he said that only i can find fulfillment in the things i like to do. He said it would get better as time went on and it has.
Life used to be deciding whether to live or not because i felt like everything i did was meaningless, and pointless, and a burden, but now all the things i do are just mildly disappointing.
I never asked him for a referral, maybe i should next time?
But what do i ask for a referral for?
I dont feel comfortable around doctors, and it takes me a long time to warm up to one never mind asking about my sex life.
Member # 3
I'm glad to hear that your depression has improved for you at least somewhat.
Therapists working with people with sexuality not only understand about taking time to build trust like other therapists do, they also know well that sex and sexuality tend to be particularly loaded for people.
I'd ask him for a referral to a therapist who DOES have the education and experience to work with you around sex and sexuality. At the very least, if he's qualified to prescribe medication for you, he at least MUST have the ability to look at your meds and see if any you are taking 9and this is pretty much the case with all medications for depression) may be impacting your sex life more than an alternative medication might.
Heck, I'm not a doctor, but I can pull out my own physician's desk reference and could check that for you (and I could, by the way, if you even just want to get a sense of if you're taking any meds that are particular offenders in this department -- that way you might know if it makes sense to talk with him about sexual side effects of your medication or medications). ANY physician with a license to prescribe can do that (and plenty of people without one), so if he's saying he can't even look into sexual side effects of your medication, he's earnestly saying he's not qualified to be your physician. Get what I mean?
In terms of this relationship that you're in: it seems you're saying you've never really had real sexual desires of your own before, or found much satisfaction in masturbation. can I ask if, in this relationship, you ever felt strong sexual desires and satisfaction? If not, can you maybe clue me in on why you entered this as a sexual relationship?

(I'll only be here for another hour or so today, but if you're still around, before I go, if you like, we can brainstorm a strategy to help you manage these issues in your relationship right now, even just some basic ways to kind of shelve this with your partner while you start to try and sort it out for yourself.)
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
Yes i could ask him about any other doctors, ill have to wait for my next appointment in a couple weeks first though. I take zoloft as an antidepressant and seroquel as an antipsychotic, do you know if either of those have effects that might be making this problem worse?
Before this relationship i had never had sexual self discovery, so to say, i didnt have a safe or private home where i could do anything like that. I remember wanting to try things with myself but never had an environment for that.
In my relationship ive felt strong sexual desires and satisfaction, not often, but yes i have.
Member # 3
Like most SSRIs, Zoloft absolutely is associated with sexual side effects like loss of desire (or reduced desire), and trouble reaching orgasm or feeling sexually satisfied. It's on most lists of SSRIs *most* likely to have those sexual side effects. Two least likely are Wellbutrin and Remeron, if you want to ask about those as options for you.
Alas, Seroquel is also associated with those side effcts.
So, while all of this probably isn't only about your medications, I'd say it's certainly worth having a discussion around medication options for those which might not have these side effects for you, or are less likely to.
I hear you saying that before this relationship, you didn't ever really explore your own sexuality in any way. Am I right about that?
if so, with this relationship, did you walk into it feeling the desire for it to be sexual? Or was this something that was more initiated by your partner, and where he really led most or altogether?
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
Oh well ill have to talk to my doctor about that then i guess, i had no idea both of them had sexual side effects, thank you for telling me i really appreciate it.
Yes you are correct, the environment i was in didnt allow for me to have any private time, and even if i did i never felt safe enough or alone enough to experiment with myself.
Also ive always wanted to be sexual with someone ive trusted, and im usually the one who has to initiate sexual contact with my boyfriend, he almost never does, and if he does he usually stops before the waistline and gives up.
Member # 3
When you say he gives up, can you give me a little more detail about that?
Like, let's say the two of you are making out. You're enjoying yourself, and then he stops because...?
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
He tends to run his hands all over, up my shirt, but as soon as he runs his fingers under my waistband its like he's been burned, he kisses me and leaves to go do something else, or says hes tired and goes to sleep.
I feel very self conscious, like ive done something wrong or i just turn him off.
Member # 3
Okay, so it's sounding to me like you BOTH may have some issues with desire or other sexual issues.
In other words, it sounds like by no means is this just about you.
When you talk to him about this -- this situation you just described where he stops doing whatever you two are doing sexually -- what does he usually say about it? What does he say he's feeling at that time, or expecting, or wanting that he isn't getting?
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
I would say thats a logical explanation but he literally said he likes to pleasure himself, and prefers his hand most of the time over anything else.
I feel very discouraged, like he isnt interested in me at all, when i offer to give him a hand he usually tells me thats its fine and not to worry about it.
Usually if he stops our makeout session he says its because hes tired or lazy. which is just about every time recently.
Maybe he's bored of me?
Member # 3
Have the two of you talked lately about how he feels about your relationship? I hear you saying it's mostly great, save the sexual issues. Does he feel the same way?
I guess I also want to check in to see if you have a sense of if either of you really has strong sexual feelings/desire about and for the other anymore. In other words, if rather than talking about desire in general for a bit, we could shift gears and talk about your specific sexual feelings for each other?
Also, does your partner also suffer from depression? If not, would you say there was a time when he WAS far more interested in engaging in sex with you, when he didn't often stop in the middle of things because he was feeling too tired or lazy?
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
Just today he told me i was the best thing thats ever happened to him, and he's still very affectionate.
I definitely would like to have a sexual relationship with him, i desire him more than anything else in the world.
No my Boyfriend doesnt have depression, at one time a couple months into our relationship, sex was more common than it is now, but sexual encounters were still very few and far between.
Member # 3
Okay, but I feel a little confused, because I hear you saying that you don't often feel strong sexual desire.
Or, are you saying that the only time you DO experience strong arousal and desire is with this person? Or, if not with, for?
You say in the earlier parts of the relationship, sexual encounters were few and far between, and you also say it's usually been you initiating sex. Did he ever initiate any kind of sexual activity with you back then?
(I know I'm asking a lot of questions, btw. Just trying to fill in the gaps so we can try and get to the bottom of this.)
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
I do feel strong sexual desire, not just for anyone though, only for my boyfriend.
Yes he used to initiate sexual activity sometimes, even now he does, but he just doesn't go anywhere with it.
(thats okay, ask as many questions as you need.)
Member # 3
I'm starting to get some ideas for suggestions here, for the both of you, but before I make those, I want to see if I can't get a better sense of what both of you really want at this point.
I hear you saying you very much want a sexual relationship with this person, but I can't tell what his level of interest is here. You say he says things like that sex with you feels like work, that he feels too lazy or tired. he also seems to have expressed that he'd rather you both masturbate at this point. All of that sounds to me like he doesn't really want a sexual relationship anymore.
What has he said when you've talked about this? Has he said he very much still wants to try and have a sexual relationship together?
(Also, if you don't mind my asking, when he's saying it takes "too long" for you to experience orgasm or pleasure, how long are we talking here? Ten minutes? twenty? A half hour? An hour?)
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
I feel like he doesnt want a sexual relationship anymore either, everything ive collected from him tells me so, i havent talked to him about it in depth, but it seems clear, im not here to convince him to do something he doesnt want to do.
( When you ask that, does the time include fooling around and foreplay?)
Member # 3
When I say sex, I mean
So, if "fooling around" and whatever sexual activities you call foreplay are things you each do to express and explore sexual feelings and desires, yes.
So, when you talk to him about this, he says he doesn't really want a sexual relationship anymore? Or....?
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
well i guess around an hour or so, sometimes more...
I havent brought up the guts to directly ask him if hes interested in having sex any more.
Ive hinted at it lots, asked him if hes interested in sex in the near future, but he seems uninterested.
Whenever i suggest he come to bed with me he just continues using the computer, talking to people, playing video games till midnight or past.
Its been nearly three months, and he still seems uninterested, so i assume he doesn't want a sexual relationship.
Member # 3
Okay, so first things first, it sounds like you two really need to have that conversation. How he feels about this is obviously going to play a bit part in what I suggest.
I'd not make assumptions here: might you be able to have a real talk about this in the next day or two?
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
Im not sure when ill have the courage to ask that question, i guess ill get back to you when that happens.
Robin Lee
Member # 90293
Would you like some help in figuring out how to start this conversation with him?
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
I talked to my boyfriend, and he said he is still interested in a sexual relationship with me, but that he has a hard time making the first move.
Member # 3
I'm so glad you were able to start talking?
Can I ask what he also had to say about what's going on for him at those times when you've initiated, which it sounds like you usually do, and then he "stops?"
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
Me too. Thank you for the suggestion. (:
I didnt ask him about that though, ill ask him when i can.
Member # 3
I think knowing that is going to help us figure out the best ways to move forward from here.
While you're talking to him next time, I wonder if you might also bring up the possibility of using sex toys together? If you have a hand disability, and his hands get tired, but you're both wanting to have genital sex together that involves stimulating your genitals, I'm thinking that bringing toys into the equation might be very helpful.
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
The last few times ive had sexual activity with him we've used my vibrator, his arm seems to get just as tired though.
I actually bought it specifically for him, so it wouldn't be as hard to pleasure me, and even though ive told him that, he doesn't seem any more encouraged.
Member # 3
Does *he* have any health issues, or disabilities per his hands?
What about talking about using hands-free toys together?
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
Nope his hands are great.
Hands free toys?
Member # 3
Something it sounds like you might want to look into just for yourself per your disability, regardless.
There are some hands-free toys, or toys that rely a lot less on big use of your hands than others. And those exist for both external stimulation but also for internal or which do both.
I don't suppose you're in or near any major cities in Canada? Asking because we could probably direct you to a good, indie shop if you are where you could get some help with this.
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
I dont feel comfortable saying where im from specifically, but i can tell you im way out in back country with no large towns or cities nearby, going to get something like that is a long drive, but it can be done.
Member # 3
Okay. Well, if nothing else, be it a drive or ordering online, we could certainly find you a way to look into and probably find a hands-free toy that worked for you.
cranberry 20da
Member # 101648
Is their any recommended hands free toys? cause as im looking online im kind of lost, theres lots of options?
Member # 3
What I'd suggest you do, if you're ordering online, is send an email into whoever you are looking to order from asking for them to suggest toys, since not all stores will carry the same things.
Come As You Are in Toronto is probably the best place to do that in Canada, and I also know that they have long been specifically keyed-in around disability, so they'll be great with this.
Member # 3
Have you two been able to have any more conversations about all of this?

Gaza-Israel-Strike (will update)
Another day of loud booms and deadly weaponry plummeting from the sky wracked Israel and Gaza on Sunday, with fresh casualties reported on both sides of a conflict that international leaders scrambled to end. Rescuers pulled the bloodied bodies of children from the wreckage of a Gaza home Sunday after an Israeli airstrike, which Israel said killed a top Hamas militant. Earlier, a rocket lauched from Gaza struck a car in the Israeli town of Ofakim, injuring an unspecified number of people, the Israel Defense Forces reported. Another hit a woman's carport while she was inside her house in Ashkelon. It was the latest violence in what has become a daily nightmare for millions in the region.
POL-Obama-Asia-Trip (will update)
On the eve of a historic trip to Myanmar, U.S. President Barack Obama deflected criticism Sunday, insisting the visit "is not an endorsement of the Burmese government."
US-Oil-Platform-Blast (will update)
Divers found the body of a man believed to be one of two crew members missing after an oil platform blast in the Gulf of Mexico, the platform's manager said.

Jeff Sessions on Social SecurityRepublican Jr Senator (AL) |
Proponents recommend voting YES because:
Perhaps the worst example of wasteful spending is when we take the taxes people pay for Social Security and, instead of saving them, we spend them on other things. Even worse than spending Social Security on other things is we do not count it as debt when we talk about the deficit every year. So using the Social Security money is actually a way to hide even more wasteful spending without counting it as debt. This Amendment would change that.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
This amendment has a fatal flaw. It leaves the door open for private Social Security accounts by providing participants with the option of "pre-funding of at least some portion of future benefits."
The mission of the Alliance for Retired Americans is to ensure social and economic justice and full civil rights for all citizens so that they may enjoy lives of dignity, personal and family fulfillment and security. The Alliance believes that all older and retired persons have a responsibility to strive to create a society that incorporates these goals and rights and that retirement provides them with opportunities to pursue new and expanded activities with their unions, civic organizations and their communities.

SONOMA LIFE - Farmer's Market
There are an incredible number of reasons why we love living in the Valley, and you all will agree that one of the most popular ones is the Valley of the Moon Certified Farmers' Market on Tuesdays.
We all look forward to the Opening Day, and every Tuesday after that, when we all get to go to the Plaza and participate in this wonderful community event. We go with friends and family; we promenade, visit, shop, eat and enjoy the always-present musical talents.
We also love taking visitors and new comers to the market because here they will witness the true small town spirit that makes living here such an extraordinary adventure.
This is what living and visiting Sonoma Valley is all about: the people, the food, the wine, the flowers, and the music.
Valley of the Moon Certified Farmers' Market - Sonoma Life at its best!

About Cressi Cressi was originally founded in 1946 as a diving company rich in innovation and product development. An entirely family owned and operated Italian brand, Cressi was the first company to produce items such as the diving mask with dedicated nose pocket, and the adjustable open heel fins. Since the beginning, all Cressi products have been designed and manufactured in Italy using Cressis own machinery and equipment. To this day, Cressi remains an innovator in product research, development and manufacturing. Cressi is a full 360 degree water sports company, as it manufactures its own products for Diving, Spear Fishing, Snorkeling and Swimming. The first Cressi swimming goggles were produced in the 1950s and were called the Nuoto Goggles. Throughout the course of the companys history, Cressi has continued to improve and expand their swimming product collection. In fact, many European swimming champions have used Cressi swimming products such as short swim fins and goggles during the 1950´s and 1960´s. Since the companys beginning, Swim products have been an important part of the Cressi product range. In 2005, Cressi established a separate brand specifically for swimming products. Cressi Swim was established and offered a full range of swimming products and apparel including swim masks, goggles, fins, caps, swim suits and accessories. In recent years, products such as the Cobra Swim Mask and the Palau Short Adjustable fins represent Cressis continued emphasis on product development and innovation. In 2009, the Cressi Swim website was launched as a place where people all over the world can find information about the entire Cressi Swim line on the internet. |

Reviewer: Barbara Rock on 10/20/2012 Nose clip not for thin noses - I needed a nose clip and looked and looked for the kind of my youth, ya know, the flesh-colored one with an attached rubber strap? I couldnt find any cuz it was after the swim season. But I did find the Cressi one. I have to attached wax to the tips to keep it on my nose. My partner uses hers and her nose has more flesh than mine and hers works beautifully. Mine slips down and barely keeps the water out. I have to adjust it after every lap practically. I guess Ill keep looking for the one from yesteryear. | ||
Cressi Reaction Pro Full Foot Fins Reviews
Reviewer: Sheila Callaghan on 6/29/2010 Great fit - I wear a womens size 8 shoe and the Cressi womens size 6-6.5 fit perfectly without needing socks. They are comfy and propel well with just a little kicking action on my part. The only reason they are not a five is they are not split fins and therefore I feel they do not propel quite as well as split fins do. |

Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we've read, discussions we've followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it's clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity's sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
