FamilyRe: We Have Not Been Able To Have Sex Yet After 7 Months Of Marriage by favoredchild(f): 6:15pm On Apr 04, 2020
Bro, I also experienced what your wife is experiencing but I overcame my own fear after like a month. Seriously I know what you guys are passing through because I have been there. But to be frank with you, sedative is not a good idea, you need to sit her down, tell her it's will be painful at first but she have to bear the pain. Nobody talked to me, I talked to myself because I realized my husband was suffering because of me. It wasn't easy because when I later made up my mind I had ties that lasted for weeks, I had to be doing seatbath and doctor also told us we had to continue because if it heals, we will go through the process again. Please be gentle with her, and keep trying, follow Donald instructions, it will really help. Sending you cheer

Hi nairalanders,

I dated my wife for close to 8 years without sex, we went to same school. Though the decision of no sex before marriage was mine. Cos I am a very addictive person, I never wanted to be addicted to sex during my undergraduate days. She later told me she was a virgin then which I never believed and I told her I am not interested in her being a virgin or not.

Fast forward to our wedding night last year, naxo amaria begin they cry my daddy, my daddy, lets do this thing nah, nah tears full bed. So I took her to see her dad the next day and both of them were crying like a baby.

We got back to our location, we made several attempts with no sex, we've seen different pharmacists, we but different lubricants, but a touch of "pola" on the honeypot area, she will start crying of pains, she's so scared to the extreme. Confession: It was after 3 months that we've been trying that I was even also able to recognise the location of virginal, I had been putting the thing in a wrong place initially. cheesy ....sorry, ain't a bookworm but a bit spirikoko

I reported her to her parents , they came, brought diiferent lubricants, still we weren't able to reach the promise land grin . Now we've decided to go the way of sedative drugs .

Is there any side effects to the drugs?

Do I have to get her to sign a paper cos women ain't predictable, that she won't start shouting emotional trauma in the future that her husband drugged her to have the first sex with her. We need kids mehn.

Thanks..

Science/TechnologyRare Supermoon Eclipse Would Be Seen Today by favoredchild(op): 8:47am On Sep 27, 2015
Astronomers and skywatchers are looking forward to the event this weekend. Others see it as a signal of the apocalypse. On Sunday night and early Monday morning, much of the Earth will witness a glorious heavenly event.

The night of September 27-28 will showcase a lunar eclipse coupled with a "supermoon": a full moon that appears larger because it's at perigee, the closest point of its orbit with Earth. The concurrence is relatively rare, having not happened since 1982.

Though some observers are viewing the date with fear -- calling the eclipse a "blood moon" -- for astronomers and stargazers, the event is to be welcomed with celebration.

"It's a beautiful sight in the nighttime sky," said Mark Hammergren, an astronomer at Chicago's Adler Planetarium. "It's a way of connecting us to the universe at large. It gives us this view that there's a bigger picture than just what we're concerned with in our daily lives."



The entire eclipse, from first shadow to last, will be visible from most of the Americas -- including the eastern half of the United States -- Greenland, Western Europe, western Africa north of the equator and parts of Antarctica. Other portions of the world, including western North America, the rest of Europe and Africa and a swath of western Asia, will see most of the drama, though they'll miss the first or fading bites of the moon.


In the United States, observatories are hosting a variety of festivities to showcase the eclipse and supermoon.

The University of Nebraska Omaha is opening its Durham Science Center observatory and planetarium to the public, adding telescopes with smartphone adapters so visitors can take pictures. The Kopernik Observatory & Science Center near Binghamton, New York, the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles and Hammergren's own Adler are planning moon parties for what the Cincinnati Observatory is calling "THE astronomical event of the year."


Can't make it to a planetarium? NASA TV will have live eclipse coverage that you can watch in the comfort of your own home.

Or you can walk outside.

"You don't have to be anyplace special. If you can see the moon, you can just look up," said the Griffith's curator, Laura Danly.

The Earth's shadow will start making its way across the moon at 8:11 p.m. ET. The total eclipse begins at 10:11 p.m. ET and will peak at 10:47 p.m. ET. The total eclipse will last about 72 minutes.

As of Friday morning, CNN Weather reported that most areas east of the Mississippi River and along the Gulf Coast will have poor viewing conditions, with clouds in the Southeast U.S. extending north to the Great Lakes. The Southeast will also be rainy; the Midwest and Ohio Valley, however, will be dry.

New England will be the exception in the East, with clear skies mostly north of Massachusetts.

The rest of the country, including the Plains states, desert Southwest and Pacific coast, should offer good viewing conditions.

Hammergren points out the supermoon eclipse is one of those events best viewed with the naked eye (though binoculars can come in handy), so anywhere there's a clear sky will do the trick.



But don't miss your chance at Sunday's supermoon eclipse. The next one isn't due until 2033.

EducationHow To Overcome The Fear Of Public Speaking by favoredchild(op):
Fear of public speaking is a common phobia. It can range from slight nervousness to paralyzing fear and panic. Many people with a fear of public speaking avoid public speaking situations altogether, or they suffer through them with shaking hands and a quavering voice. But with preparation and persistence, you can overcome your fear.
These steps may help:

* Know your topic well
The better you understand what you're talking about and the more you care about the topic, the less likely you'll make a mistake or get off track. And if you do get lost, you'll be able to recover quickly. Take some time to consider what questions the audience may ask and have your responses ready.

* Get organized
Ahead of time, carefully plan out the information you want to present, including any props, audio or visual aids you'll use. The more organized you are, the less nervous you'll be. Use an outline on a small card to keep yourself on track. If possible, take time to visit the place where you'll be speaking and review available equipment before your presentation.

* Practice, and then practice some more
Practice your complete presentation several times. Do it for a few people you're comfortable with. Ask them to give you feedback. Or, record it with a video camera and watch it so that you can see opportunities for improvement.

* Visualize your success
Imagine that your presentation will go well. Positive thoughts can help decrease some of your negativity about your social performance and relieve some anxiety.

* Do some deep breathing
This can be very calming. Take two or more deep, slow breaths before you get up to the podium and during your speech.

* Focus on your material, not on your audience. People mainly pay attention to new information not how it's presented. They may not notice your nervousness. If audience members do notice that you're nervous, they may root for you and want your presentation to be a success.

* Don't be afraid of a moment of silence
If you lose track of what you're saying or you begin to feel nervous and your mind goes blank, it can seem like you've stopped talking for an eternity. But in reality, it's probably only a few seconds. Even if it's longer, it's likely your audience won't mind a pause to consider what you've been saying. This might be a good time to take a few slow, deep breaths.

* Recognize your success
After your speech or presentation, give yourself a pat on the back. It may not have been perfect, but chances are you're far more critical of yourself than your audience is. Everyone makes mistakes during speeches or presentations. Look at any mistakes you made as an opportunity to improve your skills.

* Get support
Join a group that offers support for people who have difficulty with public speaking. One effective resource is Toastmasters, a nonprofit organization with local chapters that focuses on training people in speaking and leadership skills.

If you can't overcome your fear with practice alone, consider seeking professional help. Cognitive behavioral therapy can be a successful treatment for reducing fear of public speaking.
As another option, your doctor may prescribe a calming medication that you take before public speaking. For example, beta blockers (usually used to treat high blood pressure and certain heart conditions) have been shown to help. Some beta blockers are more effective than others. If your doctor prescribes a medication, try it before your speaking engagement to see how it affects you.
Nervousness or anxiety in certain situations is normal, and public speaking is no exception. Known as performance anxiety, other examples include stage fright, test anxiety and writer's block. However, people with severe, debilitating performance anxiety that includes anxiety in other social situations may have social anxiety disorder (also called social phobia). Social anxiety disorder may require treatment with medications, talk therapy (psychotherapy) or a combination of the two.
