Dobermans are my favourite breed. I hope to get one someday.

Your dog is really cute.

I heard that's how they grow so be patient with her.

How about her confidence training? Is Lola more confident now? What steps are you taking to train her to be confident?

I'm really eager to know.

Take heart, my brother.

I know EXACTLY how you feel.

Because I am going through exactly the same thing.

Our condition is called (unofficial tho) DEATH GRIP SYNDROME.

When your only way or main way of gaining sexual pleasure is through masturbation your brain conditions itself to the sensation you get during masturbation.

The consequence of this is that when you eventually have sex the vaginal walls can't offer the same amount of pressure your hard grip has been exerting on your penis.

Plus, you probably masturbate with a particular kind of image in your mind. Your brain has also conditioned itself to gain sexual pleasure from that image.

I know you are afraid. I was too. I still am.

I felt like I've destroyed myself. That I might not have children. That I may never enjoy sex again.

But I did a bit of research and that's where I learnt the things I just stated here. It made me a bit more hopeful.

I'm sure by now (just like I also realised) you know that masturbation is a NO GO AREA.

What we have to do is to stay away from masturbation so our brain forgets what that sensation feels like.

Then maybe after like 3 months have normal sex. With time your brain is going to get used to this 'new' sensation.

I want you to expect to FAIL.

It's a normal part of getting out of any form of addiction.

Times will come when you'll lose your resolve and masturbate again.

But I want you to be a man and start all over afresh. It doesn't matter.

I'm still struggling with it.

I KNOW I WILL GET OVER THIS. Tell yourself this.

Malware which signed users up to subscription services without their permission has been found on thousands of mobiles sold in Africa.

Anti-fraud firm Upstream found the malicious code on 53,000 Tecno handsets, sold in Ethiopia, Cameroon, Egypt, Ghana and South Africa.

Manufacturer Transsion told Buzzfeed it was installed in the supply chain without its knowledge.

Upstream said it was taking advantage of the "most vulnerable".

"The fact that the malware arrives pre-installed on handsets that are bought in their millions by typically low-income households tells you everything you need to know about what the industry is currently up against," said Geoffrey Cleaves, head of Upstream's Secure-D platform.

The Triada malware found by the firm on the Android smartphones installs malicious code known as xHelper which then finds subscription services and submits fraudulent requests on behalf of users, doing so invisibly and without the user's knowledge.

If the request is successful, it consumes pre-paid airtime, the only way to pay for digital services in many developing countries.

In total, Upstream found what it described as "suspicious activity" on more than 200,000 Tecno smartphones.

According to research firm IDC, Transsion Holdings is one of China's leading phone manufacturers and in Africa it is the top-selling mobile manufacturer.

In response Tecno Mobile said that the issue was "an old and solved mobile security issue globally" to which it issued a fix in March 2018.

"For current W2 consumers that are potentially facing Triada issues now, they are highly recommended to download the over-the-air fix through their phone for installation or contact Tecno's after-sales service support for assistance in any questions," the firm told the BBC in a statement.

It added that it is attached "great importance to consumers' data security and product safety".

"Every single software installed on each device runs through a series of rigorous security checks, such as our own security scan platform," it added.

Common problem
At the beginning of the year, security firm Malwarebytes warned that similar pre-installed apps were found on another Chinese Android phone - the UMX U686CL. This handset was offered to low-income families in the US via a government scheme.

And in 2016, researcher Ryan Johnson found that more than 700 million Android smartphones had malware installed.

Google, which developed the Android operating system, is aware of the issue.

In a blog written last year it blamed third-party vendors, used by manufacturers to install features such as face unlock, for pre-installing Triada malware.

It said it had worked with manufacturers to remove the threat from devices.

That's a Boerboel. Wonderful breed!

I really appreciate this post, boss.

This post just at the time I'm planning to ditch my android phone for about a month and pay good attention to my life.

I realised that most of my bad habits and my negative aspects are one way or the other linked to either my phone or social media or the internet.

And so I decided to take a break and focus on what matters like reading more books, studying God's word, writing more ( I am a writer), focusing on my health and others aspects.

Thank you, sir.

This is strange. do girls enjoy this shit? most of our Naija girls have been genitally mutilated (circumcised) and therefore hate sex because they don't enjoy it. it still baffles me how guys manage to fvck them.

Where did you get this rubbish you're talking about? MOST of OUR girls??

Maybe most of your village girls. Maybe they will practise that wicked custom I'm your side.
