A lot of men that are virgins have a lot of tension about their virginity and how long they are going to last in bed. They fear being humiliated and ashamed of their lack of sexual experience. However, in reality, if their first times are approached properly, they can be very fulfilling and set the precedent for an amazing sex life. Here are a few words on why being a virgin doesn’t have to be a bad thing and how you can last longer in bed your first time.

• Let the woman know you’re a virgin. Guys, women are not cruel, and if your partner knows that you are a virgin, she will most likely help you ease your sexual issues. Letting the woman know also helps her to understand not to expect too much from you, as if you didn’t she might be disappointed thinking that you are sexually experience. If you let your partner know the deal, they will be more than happy to ease your tension and maybe even help you last longer your first time.
• Virgins start out on a clean slate. Some guys that suffer from premature ejaculation have the problem because their early sexual experiences were rushed and/or secretive. Their bodies got used to rushing sex that they now suffer from premature ejaculation because of improper past experiences. Starting out with the right mindset will help you to last longer your first time, and every other time after that.
• Understand that sex is no big deal. Many men, myself included, before being virgins thought of sex as a grand accomplishment – and this creates unnecessary drama, tension, nervousness and worry. If you have a relaxed attitude going into sex, you’ll have a more pleasurable experience and probably last longer your first time.

Learning how to last longer in bed naturally is more straight forward than you might think guys. Over recent years due to the media, magazines and our own vanity; our overall appearance and “abilities” have been brought into question from various sources, and one of these is our staying power in the bedroom, or lack thereof.

No one wants to last a disappointing 5-10 minutes during sex with our partner, yet the number of men suffering from problems with premature ejaculation are on the rise, not a good situation at all.

Help is at hand though in the form of some simple exercises that will help you boost your sexual stamina and very quickly all you to last more than half an hour more than you can manage just now. There are various techniques that you can use, some exercises work better for others and vice versa so the best way is to give them all a good try and see which works best for you. In no time at all, without pills, lotions or sprays, you will be able to last longer in bed naturally.

The eventual result of this means you can please your woman as much as you both want and have the best sex of your lives ever.

Towel Technique:

One of the best methods to naturally last longer is the tried and tested towel method. This will greatly assist in increasing the overall size of your penis (both girth and length). Maybe more importantly though, it exercises the “PC” muscle which is a very important piece of the puzzle when it comes to gaining total physical control over your erect state and eventual orgasm.

To do the towel method, your penis will need to be in a fully erect state.

• Put a light towel or cloth onto your penis about 1 inch above the base.
• OK, here’s where your PC muscle comes in; your goal is to flex and relax the PC muscle, when you do this correctly you will see the towel moving up and down as you do this exercise, you will experience a very distinct feeling when doing this.
• We want to aim for around 25 reps (repetitions). One rep is completed after tensing/relaxing the PC muscle, or if you like, your penis going from the lowest angle to the highest angle (If you can’t manage the 25 reps to begin with, just aim as close to this number as you can.

Porn Actors seem to last as long as they want to. So how do they do it? Interviews with the real deal are the best way to find out. I asked a man who has slept with more than 200 women in front of the camera what he does to ensure he doesn’t embarrass himself.

Make sure you’re not too worked up – this is the biggest mistake most young guys make. They get all excited thinking about what they’re going to be doing and set themselves over the edge before they even get down to any action. Try taking your mind off things, relax! There’s always that old trick used by every pro, masturbate before the big show. You always last longer the second time.

Always wear a condom – and not just to control pregnancy and protect yourself from diseases. The rubber will give you an extra bit of desensitising protection which could make all the difference. If things are really bad, consider using one of the ones with some antiseptic cream in the tip. You can get them from just about every drugstore.

Make sure she’s really slippery – there are two issues with a less wet girl. Firstly it pulls back the skin on your penis and exposes all of your sensitive head, and secondly the friction generated it so much more. Increased friction means more stimulation, which mean you lose it too fast.

You can use lubricant, spit or go down on her for ages, do whatever it takes to makes sure she’s ready for action. You shouldn’t feel much more than the heat and the tightness as you push into her – definitely no pulling.

Find out what sets you off – some guys can’t help but finish doing doggy style, some lose control when she talks dirty, others when she breathes on your neck. What ever sets you off; make sure you know what it is. When you have this knowledge you can then take steps to avoid these situations. Only until you really want them.

Practice, Practice, Practice – when he told me this one he had a massive smile on his face. As with every thing we do the more you do it, the better you get. If you’re young or don’t have much experience the best thing to do is have lots of sex. If that’s not possible, for whatever reason, do it yourself. Jack off heaps. But make sure, every time you have discipline. If you want to last at least 5 minutes with a girl, that’s how long you need to train for. If you want to last longer, you know what to do.

Seventeen months ago our daughter died from the injuries she received in a car crash. Since that tragic accident we have walked with grief every day. We have also become a GRGs — grandparents raising grandchildren. My husband and I are the legal guardians of 16-year-old, fraternal twins. Raising them is our new life mission — a sacred mission — and we will do our best.

We are trying to help the twins deal with their grief, move forward with life, and make new goals. Clearing out our daughter’s house, the house she and the kids loved so much, has been a heartbreaking experience. Our grandchildren packed some items and, after that, they didn’t want to go to the house. Their home had been a happy place, a place filled with love and laughter.

Now it was a sad and lonely place and we had to sell it.

Months ago, rural towns in Southeastern Minnesota were hit by a tremendous flood. Many families lost everything they had and some were still living in government trailers. And so, instead of having an auction, my husband and I decided to donate the contents of our daughter’s home to Rushford Flood Relief. We discussed the idea with our grandchildren and they approved it.

The contact organization was Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Spring Valley, Minnesota. Packing items took us several months. Items that were not designated for flood relief were donated to the Goodwill. Last Saturday a huge rental truck pulled up in front of the house. A smiling man with a white beard got out of the truck and introduced himself as the church Pastor. “This is a sorrowful day for me,” I told him, “and I will cry.” He understood completely.

Twenty-two church volunteers (youth group and adult members) had offered their help. The president of the congregation gave them loading instructions. Before the loading began the group gathered together in a prayer circle. The Pastor asked God to bless the volunteers and thanked our family for its generosity. After the prayer I added, “Many of you know our story. Our goal is to make something good from grief.” Tears trickled down my cheeks as I voiced these words.

Many volunteers thanked us personally for what we were doing. “There’s a lot of good stuff here,” one said. “You’re going to help many people.” The volunteers worked quickly and a “parade” of items went out the door: dining tables, coffee tables, straight chairs, wing chairs, lamps, television sets, computer work stations, dishes, pots and pans, bedding, porch furniture, and more. Two hours later the truck was packed to the ceiling.

The Pastor locked the back hatch, got into the truck, and slowly pulled away. I stood in front of the house and sobbed. Though a few items were still on the floor and the garage wasn’t cleared yet, the last vestiges of our daughter’s daily life were gone. The next day I received an email from the president of the congregation.

According to him, volunteering had given youth group members a better understanding of compassion and giving. He went on to say that 10 new volunteers unloaded the truck when it reached Rushford. Residents of the flooded communities gathered around the truck and took the furniture and labeled boxes they needed. An hour later — just one hour — the truck was empty.

From the prayer circle, to meeting volunteers, to locking the back hatch, the day was a religious experience. Giving to others made us feel better and we think it made our grandchildren feel better, too. James Russell Lowell wrote about giving in the “Vision of Sir Launfal” and we hold his words in our hearts. He wrote:

Not what we give, but what we share —

For the gift without the giver is bare;

Who gives himself with his alms feeds three —

Himself, his hungering neighbor, and me.

When taking an international missions trip, you will want to make sure that you have taken care of some very important last minute details. Here are a few helpful steps for preparing yourself for your missions trip before your departure.

A few things to keep in mind:

1. Make sure you have at least 2 copies of your passport in case your original is lost. Storing one of the copies in your checked baggage is a very good idea.

2. Purchase a secure silk money belt for your travel which can be hidden under your clothes for safety. The silk material is very nice as it allows your skin to breathe which is very important when traveling for a long time in the airplane.

3. Taking a baby aspirin during your travel is a good idea when sitting long hours on the plane to help with the risk of blood clots (make sure you check with your doctor about medications.)

4. Make sure that you remind yourself to take small walks during safe walking times while in the air to help with the risk of blood clots as well from sitting in one position where blood can pool.

5. Make sure you have an electricity converter so that you can plug your appliances into an outlet.

6. Check to find out what Immunizations are needed by contacting the CDC website.

7. Check the weather where you are traveling to pack appropriate clothes for the season.

8. Bug Spray (Including DEET) is recommended for travel into areas with mosquitoes to help prevent malaria from bites.

9. Good shoes for walking in the airports and working on the mission field are a must!

10. Check Baggage Limits with the airline to make sure that you don’t have to pay extra for bags over the limits.

11. Make sure you have purchased trip insurance from a reliable source.

12. Bring Cash Money with you on your trip in large bills with newer dates. Banks in Africa will not take small bills less than 50 USD.

13. Bring toiletries in carry on baggage using the new regulations for carry on liquids. (Treat carry on bag as survival bag in case checked bags are lost during your flight. You will want to make sure contact lenses, solutions, and medications are in carry on bag.)

14. Reconfirm your flights 72 hours prior to departure with the airline.

I hope that you take time to make sure that all of these details have been taken care of! We pray that this will help to equip you for your next missions trip!

Also, keep in mind that seeking the LORD is the most important step! Make sure that before all else, you have allowed the LORD to work in your own heart to prepare you… the rest will fall into place as you desire to walk in His wisdom.

When it comes to the topic of how to last longer in bed, many men don’t actually know that there are some shortcuts that you can try. Most of you will think that, to last longer in bed, you need weeks and weeks of practice to build your stamina, or even something drastic like drugs and/or a “device”. I’m glad to let you know that, there is a simple way you can last longer in bed tonight, using ONLY your tongue.

Here’s how…

Firstly, when you feel you are close to reaching climax, press the tip of your tongue firmly against the roof of your mouth. Now, while your tongue is still pressed firmly onto the top (roof) of your mouth, move your tongue in a circular motion – keep the motion slow, but firm. You need to really apply pressure, otherwise it won’t work. But don’t overdo it, you might hurt your tongue in the process!

Doesn’t seem like much, does it? But yes, it’s that simple, and this technique really does work! And before you go ahead and start doubting this simple method, why don’t you try it for yourself first? It’s extremely simple, and anyone can do it. You have nothing to lose.

Many men assume that this technique works because it distracts you from the sexual act, but that isn’t the case. This secret technique works because it helps you tune in to other sensations in your body, and not just those that you experience in your genitals, which in effect helps lessen the arousal you experience and the sensations in your penis.

Try it and see how it works for you. Leave a comment on this article and let us know if it worked!

If you are not having the kind of success with texting girls that you would like, it’s probably because you are breaking one or more of these 4 rules.

In this article, you’re going to find out what these 4 mysterious rules for texting girls are and why it’s so important that you follow them. They might sound counter intuitive and maybe even crazy, but trust me, if you follow every one of them to a tee, you’ll have more girls in your bed then you’ll know what to do with.

So, with that said, let’s cut the foreplay and get to it…

Text Seduction Rule #1: Always Wait For Her To Reply To Your First Text Before You Send Her More Messages

This one is a biggie and it’s also the most commonly committed. You know who you are!

The typical scenario goes like this:

“Guy” sends “Hot Babe He Just Met Last Night” a text.

10 minutes goes by. No reply.

“Guy” gets nerves. Thinks to himself, “OMG, what if she doesn’t like me. Did I say something wrong?”

“Guy” sends “Hot Babe” a barrage of text. Each successive one more approval-seeking than the last.

“Hot Babe” comes back from the shower to see that her phone has exploded with text messages.

“Hot Babe” gets weird-ed out by “Guy’s” stalker-like behavior.

“Hot Babe” dumps “Guy”

The End.

Do You Want This To Happen To You? I Don’t Think So!

So don’t do what “Guy” did. By doing so, you are only shifting the power over to her side, lowering your value in her eyes, and making yourself seem needy and desperate.

Text Seduction Rule #2: Match (Or Exceed) Her Respond Time

This rule ties in with the last one. You should match a girl’s respond time to your texts. So if it takes her around 10 minutes to text you back, you should wait around the same amount of time (or more).

If a girl takes 15 – 20 minutes to respond to each of your text, yet you reply to hers the second that you get them, how do you think that is going to look in her eyes?

That’s right! It makes you look like a needy dude who has nothing better to do then sit around waiting for her to text you back. Again, this is a turn off for women.

Text Seduction Rule #3: Just When You Got Her Hot & Horny With Your Sexy Texts…Turn OFF The Sex Talk.

Yeah, I told you these rules are unorthodox, didn’t I?

So if your ultimate goal is to make a girl hot & bothered with your text messages, why in the world would you want to turn of the sex talk just when things are getting good?

OK, hear me out.

See, rarely will a sexy text conversation with a girl turn into full-blown sex.

Yes, she might be a little turned on. But she’s not quite there yet.

So what you need to do is pull back a little bit. Change the subject to something more neutral.

Then, a little down the road, you can reintroduce the sex talk again and ramp up the heat even more (more details on exactly how to do this in other articles.)

Here’s why this is so important.

Every time you turn on the sex talk and then VOLUNTARILY step back from it, you are making her feel more and more comfortable with the idea of sex and you. You are showing her that you are not some out of control pervert (right?) and that you’re not going to jump all over her as soon as she show you the slightest bit of sexual interest.

Therefore, the next time the topic of sex comes up, she will be much more willing to get back into it with you.

Pretty sneaky, huh?

Text Seduction Rule #4: Try To NOT Be The Last Person To Text Back When The Conversation Is Ending.

At some point, your text conversation with a girl will come to an end. And when that happens, I want you to make it a point to NOT have the last word.

For example, your conversation with her might go something like this:

You: “Oh wow. It’s getting late. I should hit the hay soon. Long day tomorrow.”

Hot Babe: “Oh okay, no problem. Yeah I guess it is getting pretty late. K, good night!

You: “Goodnight! Don’t you go staying up all night thinking about me or anything”

Hot Babe: “LOL yeah right. You wish! haha”

You should end the conversation right here and leave her hanging.

Notice that you could have just said “Goodnight!” and the conversation could have ended right there. But instead, you added a little tease and baited her to respond back. This way she will be the one with the last word.

OK, I know this sounds pretty childish, but it’s actually a very powerful tactic for building attraction.

See, when you don’t reply to her last text, it leaves and open loop in her mind. She’ll find herself wondering if you’ll text her back, or even if you are slightly mad at her.

The point is, she will be thinking about you. And the more she thinks about you, the more she will feel attracted to you. That’s just how the human mind works.

These 4 Text Seduction rules are critically to your success as a text game PUA (Pick Up Artist) and if you follow them you’ll find your success skyrocketing.

But there is something else you should do if you want to really master this game and that is…

You are probably wondering how long the Flowmaster exhaust lasts. As an auto enthusiast in search of a good exhaust system there are a number of parts that the exhaust system consists of and you should look at each one individually.

While there are a lot of different functional parts within every exhaust system, typically, the only part of an exhaust that you are able to see is the exhaust tip. Because your exhaust tips are so vital to the appearance of the rear of your vehicle, you will want to have the best looking exhaust tips that are available out there. Flowmaster exhaust tips look excellent on the rear of any vehicle. Like a lot of Flowmaster products, Flowmaster exhaust tips are designed and made out of stainless steel and made to last.

Now if you are asking “how long does the Flowmaster exhaust pipe last?” you can have a look at the warranty and get a pretty good idea. The aluminized steel is guaranteed for 3 years and the stainless steel exhaust is guaranteed for 10 years. I would really think because of the warranty that you will not have any problems for at least double that amount of time. I have not come across anyone complaining how little time they got out of their Flowmaster exhaust pipe.

Next question is how long does the Flowmaster muffler last? Some of their mufflers are made of aluminized steel and others of stainless steel. These are your options as you go through a website checkout. People have seen these torn up and stuff, but they are not known to rust out and some people have had them on for 20 years and more. And that is just the aluminized steel mufflers. I wouldn’t worry about muffler decay so much.

To go along with the warranty that comes with every Flowmaster product, they also assure you of dependable service when you need it. Car hobbyists absolutely deserve excellent assistance when shopping for great quality auto parts for their car or truck. Therefore, Flowmaster has also put up a round-the-clock help agency to help you with your requests. These groups of technical assistants who have been trained for troubleshooting all types of Flowmaster product concern will be available to help, Monday through Friday.

For many a man, sex is a situation in which much pressure is placed upon oneself to not only perform well, but to perform LONGER. Lasting longer in bed is not a subject that should bring about shame and ridicule; it’s a subject that we men need to tackle head on….

Big disclaimer here – I’m not a sexual expert. However, I am a man that has seen his share of ups and downs in the bedroom. I have learned some things when it comes to sex and I feel it is my obligation to share them with all of you.

The first thing we men need to do in order to last longer in bed is ENJOY having sex. I can’t stress this enough. Sex is not a job. It should not be treated as and looked upon as one and it definitely should not bring about the same type of feelings a dreaded job does. Get it in your mind right now that you are gonna enjoy having sex with your partner. This is where the battle begins and is usually lost. You see, many men feel so much pressure just to perform that they ultimately over stimulate their mind and that usually causes them to prematurely ejaculate. Well, that obviously isn’t gonna work well when trying to last longer in bed.

Another trick to lasting longer in bed is to take your time. Fella’s, this is not a sprint, it’s a marathon and you should treat it that way. Remember, women take longer to reach climax….some longer than others. Do this, make a commitment to bring you partner to at least one climax before you orgasm. I promise you, this will pay huge dividends in lasting longer in bed and maybe lasting longer in the relationship….if there is one.

Finally, and maybe the most challenging, don’t be lazy when having sex. You want to last longer in bed?? Try having intercourse in multiple positions. This will cause your mind and heart rate to slow down. You will be surprised at how helpful this can be when trying to last longer in bed. Make a commitment to having intercourse in four different positions. I don’t care if you spend 45 seconds per position. If your do the math, 45 seconds in four positions with 15 seconds for change and kissing, you’ve already gotten yourself nearly 4 whole minutes and pure intercourse bliss!

So here is the recap, lasting longer in bed is a mind game. You need to get it in your head that enjoy sex and not be stressed out about it like you would a dreaded job. Take your time; this is a marathon, not a sprint. Make your partner climax before you do!! Don’t be lazy!! Use multiple positions when having intercourse and use the changing of positions to kiss and touch your partner.

I want to close with this….Have a plan in your mind developed beforehand. It is okay think about how you’re gonna please your partner. Remember, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

“Kiss me, Hardy” or “Kismet, Hardy”? Both versions are commonly used, the former being clearly more universal . The easy answer is that, whatever variation, these were not his final words (that is a trick question!).

It is a common misconception that Nelson’s last words were “Kiss me, Hardy”, spoken to the captain of HMS Victory, Thomas Hardy. Nelson did say this to Hardy, but Hardy was not present for Nelson’s last words, having been called back on deck at that time. Contemporaneous sources report his last words to Hardy as being “God bless you, Hardy”, spoken after Hardy had kissed him (which he did, so there is no doubt what Hardy thought he heard).

Nelson’s final words (as related by 3 written accounts of those who were with Nelson when he died) were “Thank God I have done my duty”, which he is said to have repeated until he became unable to speak. Although this is recorded by Surgeon Beatty, he was not actually present when Nelson became unable to speak, having been called away, and returning just before Nelson died. The Chaplain, Scott and the Purser, Burke, appear to have been with Nelson throughout, and Scott supports the “Thank God I have done my duty” as the last words.

At a more human level, throughout the three hours of pain Nelson suffered, it is reported that his continuing refrain was “Rub, rub… fan, fan…. drink, drink” as the instructions to those around him for the three things which gave him some comfort. There is a chance that those were his last words in fact, but there was no possibility they would ever have been recorded as such, certainly not by the Chaplain.

The misconception that Nelson actually said “Kismet Hardy”, (kismet comes from the Arabic word ‘qismah’, meaning fate or lot) seems a Victorian invention, since the earliest recorded use in the English language of “kismet” was 1849.

It is probably not coincidental that the mid Victorian era saw the emergence of the large Public Schools’ which educated the boys who were to fight for and rule the Empire. This was the same era that embraced the works of Thomas Bowdler (whose family friendly versions of Shakespeare were first published in 1818), and there is no doubt Victorian teachers would have thought “Kiss me, Hardy” was an unmanly and dangerous thing to teach impressionable boys in boarding schools.

The teachers of the day would have attempted to explain this by saying that Nelson may have known the word from his Mediterranean tours of duty and this was just misheard by the others because no other words apart from “kiss me” made sense to them.

However for such an explanation to work, we must ignore all the sources which record Nelson’s religious observance, because introducing the alien word ‘Kismet’ at such a time, alongside the statements “God bless you Hardy” and “Thank God I have done my duty” is not really credible inasmuch as if he meant to imply he was destined to die, then he would have said something like it being just another part of gods grand design.

So, the answers are:

Last words to Hardy: “God bless you Hardy”

Last words recorded: “Thank God I have done my duty”
