RomanceRe: My Fiance Is A 2-Minute Man & We Are Set To Do Our Introduction. Please Help by themonk(m): 1:17am On Jan 17, 2020
Miffia:
Hi everyone... Good Afternoon

I will keep this brief and short.. Ignore any typographical error, please.

I have this boyfriend, we've been dating for years now. The thing is, he doesn't last long during sex, he's a 2 minutes man, as you people call it. There was a time, we had sex, less than 1 minute, yes, I mean less than a minute, just 3 or 4 thrusts and he released. He was shocked, sad and disappointed, I was shocked too. I was even the one cheering him up, not to be sad, that everything will be okay, that's not his fault, he just wore his cloth and left.

This is someone I want to marry, we will soon do our introduction and wedding, and I don't want our sex life to be boring, we are not enjoying s*x at all, and I don't want to cheat on him... We love each other so much.

Please, anybody that has experienced this before, or know how to stop it should advice me on what to do, its not making me happy neither is my boyfriend happy too

Your advice will be appreciated.. Thank You.
You need to make sure this problem is solved and verified to be solved before you proceed. Don't live the remainder of your life sexually frustrated or a cheating wife.

Sex, I repeat, sex is very important in marriage.

You know most Nairalanders like you have ego and emotional problems. I innocently asked for evidence and all of sudden you are shaking your head. I am not even doubting that earthquakes can be caused for military gains, believe me I know worse things. Anybody you thinks doubts you, you lash out to the person immediately right? That’s the evidence of a psychological problem. People like you can’t have a conversation without thinking the other person hates them or is attacking them especially when the other person has a different opinion.

You no sabi anything, if the article says they will not give it to Boeing what stops them from saying in the same article that they will be handing it to Ukraine.
Do Iran needs a drama all the time before they do what is right?
You are an idiot who adds your own stupid thoughts to an article. Are you asking me why the article didn’t talk about the situation of the handling of the black box between Iran and Ukraine? That is because we do not know! And your empty brain shouldn’t assume.

No country is obligated to release anything about an incident that happened in their country. If Iran decides they won’t release it to Ukraine, that they would study it themselves it is an act in tandem with their sovereignty. Stop running your mouth about things you don’t know or make assumptions with your empty skull.

Wrong! Boeing or the manufacturer would normally get the Black Box. Reports and results of forensics will then be released to the Airline.

Anything short is inviting trouble. That the Iranian got to the crash site and moved the Black Box so swiftly rather than guard the crash site only implies they are responsible.
You mean Iran should send back a data that might be used to implicate them to an American company?

USA that is chasing Huawei away from America just because they do not trust China, are you even conversant with how politics work? Huawei has not done anything wrong and their source code has been evaluated by the British government and they is no evidence of spying yet the USA wants them out.

You totally ignored the rest of the passage that I posted and ended up repeating yourself and going off the point, which I notice you have a habit of doing when the conversation is not going your way.

You are totally unserious lol tisbah aala khair ya ukhti kiss Better put your own education to good use and learn to read before responding!
LOL, you now accuse someone of what you did when I was arguing with you. Religious people do not answer direct questions because their religion is crooked, never straight forward.

If you put 25 different pastors on a pulpit, they would give you 20 or more different interpretations of the bible and yet they claim to be under the same Holy Spirit.

How many denominations does Christianity have again? Some denominations their holy spirit told them that if a woman puts on trousers she would go to hell, other denominations their holy spirit told them that you must not wear earnings. The funny thing is that all these denominations supposedly does miracles and their members would have dreams and tell you that they dreamt were they wore trouser and went to hell or they saw that all catholics are going to hell. Religion is the greatest mass hallucination funded by mental masturbation ever. People cannot sit down and look at facts instead they are trying to help God prove that he exists.

You have to be an Atheist to the other 4200 distinct gods throughout history and gamble that your own God is the true God. Or you mentally masturbate with the bible verse that says "God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise" which also shows your God probably likes foolish people and not people who think. The different between you and an Atheist is that he denys existence of 4200 gods and you deny existence of 4199. If you were born a Muslim the probablity you'd be an Atheist to the Christian God is high.

The best thing to be is agnostic, just say you don't know, Your don't have to know everything and you must not follow the crowd.

They didn’t ask how to end a quarrel rather how to end an argument. An argument is just people with different ideas trying to convince one another their own idea could be better than the other.

You don’t apologize for arguing with someone.

You dont need to respond to me Sir, you need to go back and read. Youre going outside of the point because you are basing your questions on a wrong foundation; thats what Im trying to explain to you.

I dont deny that you may have read the Bible severally. I said you needed guidance. Reading the Bible from cover to cover a million times without the original context for every single book, translation guides, different perspectives, interpretations, philosophies is not going to help you. People study these things for years before they are able to understand it.

They dont just read it and take all the words on face value because its not a novel; its a historical text with so many different reference points and circumstances. You sound like you have never heard a decent sermon from a trained clergyman before. Or you are not a church-goer? Have you just been reading the thing like a storybook and waiting for inspiration or whathuh

Any preacher worth his salt will explain passages that sound at odds with how we live our lives today. Using the context.

You keep asking the same unintelligent questions because you dont want to acknowledge that your life bears absolutely no resemblance to that of a nomadic peasant living in the Middle East thousands of years ago. So how would the Bible make any sense to you on first principles??

What is the meaning of "slavery"? What was a slaves position in Israelite society? What rights did a slave have? Why were Jews allowed to own them? What was the purpose of the enslavement? What laws were enacted concerning owning slaves? This is what you should be asking and not futile mewling about "owning another human being".

Do you know if, at some point in the future, it will be considered "wrong" for your father to say that he "owns" you? Why have the West totally abandoned the concept of paying a bride-price in marriage, while we choose to continue with it? Would it be fair for the whites to say we are "selling" women herehuh Or "demeaning" them, or treating them as "property"? The context of an action within a particular culture is the important thing here and not arguing in absolutes because something offends your own sensibilities. That the Bible gives licence or provisions for certain practices does not mean that it necessarily approves of them.

"God could have just told Abraham to free all his slaves and that would save people from a lot of pain..." This very statement shows that youre speaking out of ignorance. Abraham should free all his slaves and then what? Who will do all the work? Who will take stock of food and provisions from the harvest? Who will account for his expenditure and budget? Abraham who had no children until ...? Lol seriously what are you talking abouthuh

God provided laws and regulations to improve the treatment of slaves and protect their interests instead of enacting something that wouldnt be realistic in the society He was presiding over.
You are stockpiling a huge load of irrational arguments, I do not see any context where a human being should own another human being as property. You mean the context which preachers use to brainwash people? I asked you direct questions and you never answered them because guess what? the Bible is not straight forward and it is interpreted by a bunch of clergymen every Sunday to mean what they want it to mean.

I lost hope in this argument when you said people owned slaves because “who will do all the work?”. The 13th amendment will feel insulted by this question. Do we have slaves now, And who is doing all the work? I mean a God that is all knowing could not tell the Jews to organize their society in a way that is just?

Don’t ever say the white man did bad by enslaving blacks again. Maybe you would be a slave that loves his/her chain and accepts his/her position as property if you lived in that era. The truth is modern man is more just that the biblical God based on empirical evidence. You conveniently avoided the topic of God instigating tribes to war against other tribes.

When supposedly rapture takes place God will tell you there is no heaven and he meant you are going to heaven in another CONTEXT. Just keep brainwashing yourself.

Like I said, you have to go back and look at the context first; there is no need for me to start railing about it.

What translates as "slave" now is not necessarily what it pertained to back then. You have to look at the family and social structures of ancient Israel before jumping to conclusions.

The culture of a nomadic, agrarian, tribal nation in ancient times, fighting wars over water and resources, defending kingdoms and all that stuff cant be looked at with a 21st century eye. And plus, God seeks to maintain justice and order in our fallen world by taking a firm stand against evil. Sometimes wars are necessary though not ideal.

Dont you think that behaviour has a context? In times of old in Igboland, neighbouring clans would pray before going to war, slaughtering and capturing each other. Does it mean that Igbo deities are automatically evil in and of themselves, looking back? Does it stop us from naming ourselves with "Chi" and "Chukwu"?

God did not change in the New Testament. He simply showed us another aspect of His character. The message of love and reconciliation is just as important as that of retribution and punishment and besides Jesus still showed his righteous anger against wrongdoing. And the Jews were under Roman occupation and not even fighting anything anywhere!

Its okay.

I think Ive already answered the pastors/ native doctors stuff. The point is not that other religions are all evil or devoid of spirituality, the point is that our stance with can only be justified via Jesus' atoning sacrifice. Man is spirit and so always yearns to connect with God, but he cant! Unless He accepts the blood of Jesus to cover the stench of his sin.

If you keep reading the Bible without any technical guidance you will keep asking the same kind of shallow and wrong-footed questions youre asking here and thinking that they invalidate the message when they dont even scratch the surface.
On a normal day I would not respond to this because it does not directly answer any questions I posed. It just beats around the bush and gets to nothing.

I am not jumping to conclusion. I have read the Bible severally and God directly instructed a particular tribe to go to war against another tribe repeatedly and even gave them power to kill other tribes. I am going to ask you direct questions now.

Did God enable humans to kill each other?
Is this character consistent with someone who is loving?

You say slavery was different back then. I actually did a bit of research to see if maybe slavery meant a maid or something but no. Slavery is the act of acquiring your fellow human being as property, here is a Wikipedia link that talks about it.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_and_slavery

Direct questions would be:

Did God enable humans to own each other as property?
Does this exemplify someone who is just?

God could have just told Abraham to free all his slaves and that would save people from a lot of pain and show his just behavior. The summary of this whole thing is that the God of the Bible cannot be trusted to do what is right and if there is an esoteric knowledge that explains how this things are just please let me know. You keep talking about “context” and “guidance”, various versions of Christians have interpreted these contexts differently over time.

None of Early Christian writers ever said that stars falling down from the sky into the earth as was said in revelation was figurative. But when science discovered that those stars are are so so bigger than earth they changed the narrative to these stars means the great men of earth or another version would say the fallen angels. There is no consensus among bible scholars and christian denominations about meaning of these things so I will say they are either under different holyspirits(which is supposed to interpret the Bible) or the Bible is literal in which case it is junk.

Please I need you to explain or justify a God enabling or encouraging slavery and tribal wars. Show me how these things are justified or point me to a place I can read about it. Please only point me to materials by sane authors.

Interesting school of thought with the God change speech but you're postired wrongly. It wasn't God who fought whatever wars that were fought but mankind. Mankind overtime learnt to behave better from better understanding. God was through time and process leading humankind into better frontiers. And if you advocate the fights Between Israel and the ancient Arab wars as God supportive of those wars, then it means your atheism is hinged upon revenge against God's action much more than a belief smbased system. Of which your indiscretions and mental swings doesn't necessitates the existence of God nor does it affect him in anyway. Its His world we are His creations. Its either you accept Him and abide by his tenets or get thrown into hell fire if you die in sin. No grammar here will qualify you to stand before Him let alone try to outwit/debate Him in any discussions. It's either proceed to the hall of saints or depart to Hell


Again its your choice and whatever your decision is, God can't be more powerful, remorseful, weaker.

And update your knowledge. Your arguments are placed on very very eatery and one-sided thesis.
