Men think about sex every 7 seconds?

Posted: 25 Jan 2013 08:59 AM PST


Are men more promiscuous than women? Do men fake it too? If these are some of the questions bothering you about sex, it's time to separate myth from fact

When it comes to sex, there have been far too many to-dos, what-to-dos and what-not-do-dos, since time immemorial. Half of these are based on realistic facts, but the rest are pure fiction. Unfortunately, due to lack of proper information, many relationships go awry. If you have been one of the many victims of sex myths, it's time to forget what you've heard so far. We separate the frisky fact from fiction and put these popular beliefs to bed.

Fantasizing about someone else during the act is bad
Get this clear before entering any relationship. Sexual experience primarily starts from the brain and not just the organ. And the brain does have a tendency to wander. What matters most in a relationship is commitment. If that's in place, doesn't matter whether you think of a Bipasha Basu or Brad Pitt while in bed.

Women are safe if a guy pulls out before ejaculation
Bad news on that front, guys. Men do not always realise when the ejaculatory fluid seeps out. This contains sperm which gets released and it's enough to get your partner pregnant.

Men think about sex every seven seconds
One wonders where this number popped up from. According to a research conducted by the Kinsey institute, USA, I4 per cent of men think about sex every day or several times a day, 43 per cent a few times per month or per week and 4 per cent less than once a month.

Interestingly, it was reported that 19 per cent of women think about sex every day or several times a day, 67 per cent a few times per month or a few times per week and 14 per cent less than once a month. When it comes to number crunching, both sexes are pretty much equal.

Oral sex is safer than its vaginal counterpart
Oral sex counts as sex as well. Hence you are not totally immune from getting a sexually transmitted disease if you only indulge in oral sex. As there is an exchange of fluids, diseases can enter your body through sores or small cuts in your mouth and throat.

Men are always ready for sex
One of the most prevalent myths about male sexuality is that men are never too tired for sex. Fact is, men are not robots. They get stressed and tired as well, and sometimes may just not be in the mood to have sex. Besides, they are driven by emotions too, which in turn affect their libido.

So if your man is not responding to your overtures, it doesn't mean he isn't interested in you anymore. He may simply not be in the mood.

Size matters
For the nth time, men, STOP looking down, because it doesn't matter. Instead, get a copy of the Kamasutra and work (hard) on getting the right technique. When you know the real art of pleasuring your partner, chances are, she won't even realise how big (or small) your organ really is. Give it a topping of love and get the 'performer' tag no size can ever help you earn.

If all else fails, Viagra will always come to your rescue
The band-aid solutions (aka Viagra) to big problems (aka erectile dysfunction) are bound to give disappointing results. Instead, consult an expert, get to the root of the problem and have it treated accordingly.

Moreover, if disorders like hypertension and diabetes are the culprits behind the lack of 'lift', oral medications can lead to serious side-effects. So save yourself from the all-knowing quack expert within you and junk that pill till you know exactly what you are doing.

After a certain age, sex is no longer important
The person who came up with this idea must have been a party pooper. If you are capable of having sex (and feel like it), just do it. It's as simple as that.

Moreover, the positive physical and emotional repercussions of frequent sex can even add some years to your life. With age, loss of libido is common, but factors such as hormonal issues, depression, communication problems with partner and anxiety disorders play an equally important role.

Most men are not interested in foreplay
Most women believe that men usually have one goal when it comes to sex and that is reaching an orgasm. But a lot of men have thankfully risen above just the orgasm and are attentive to the needs of their partners. In fact, men enjoy foreplay as well, as it helps them to keep the performance stress away and think about something other than their erection.

Great sex just happens
True. It 'just happens' once in a while. But if you wish to have a fulfilling sex life where each encounter leaves you wanting for more, stand up and take charge. There's no standard 'to-do' list that will work wonders for everyone every time, which is why good communication and mutual willingness to experiment is a must. That mindblowing sex will end with an orgasm in bed, but starts with a stimulating conversation on the couch.

Shah Rukh Khan outranks Salman Khan in earning power

Posted: 25 Jan 2013 08:57 AM PST


Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, whose earnings between October 2011 and September 2012 amounted to Rs.202.8 crore, has topped the inaugural Forbes India Celebrity 100 list.

The list, a ranking of India's biggest entertainers based on their income and popularity, also features Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni on the second and third spot, respectively.

Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Kareena Kapoor, Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli and Katrina Kaif are amont the top 10.

Both Salman and Dhoni are ahead of Shah Rukh in terms of popularity and fame, but King Khan occupies the top spot courtesy his earning power, mainly riding on massive income from brand endorsements, according to the official website of the magazine.

By Forbes India estimates, SRK, who also features on the magazine's cover, earned Rs 202.8 crore, compared to Salman's Rs 144.2 crore and Dhoni's Rs 135.16 crore in the said period.

The Forbes India's special edition "decodes what lies behind the success of India's biggest creative entrepreneurs across eight categories: film actors, directors, sport stars, TV personalities, singers/musicians, authors, models and comedians", it said.

The list was arrived at after a rigorous data collection process that considered the celebrities' income (from the business of entertainment) and fame (as measured by media mentions, online presence and social media followers) in a definite time period.

Dhoni, captain of the Indian cricket team, is the top sportsperson, while Oscar-winning composer A.R.Rahman leads the pack of singers/musicians and is the only representative of the category in the top 20.

Malaika Arora Khan is the leading TV personality, and Karan Johar is the most powerful director. Author Chetan Bhagat, comedian Vir Das and model Esha Gupta topped their respective categories.

A majority of celebrities who made it to the list fall in the age bracket of 30 to 50. However, 12 youngsters, including Saina Nehwal, Virat Kohli, Anusukha Sharma and Sania Mirza have broken into the top 50.

At 23, Saina Nehwal is the youngest celebrity on the list.

5 Best positions to get pregnant fast

Posted: 24 Jan 2013 08:29 AM PST

Getting pregnant maybe the easiest of all things, however, some couples do find it hard to conceive for several reasons, including weak or insufficient sperm count.

In some cases, as when nature needs a boost, a little push from you and your partner can go a long way in getting pregnant. When it comes to the best position to get pregnant, the general rule is that the male sperm must be deposited as near to the female cervix as possible.

This has something to do with the life spans of the female egg and the male sperm. Once an egg is released from the ovary - a stage also known as ovulation - it begins its path down the fallopian tube to the uterus. A released egg typically survives for only 24 hours, while a sperm can last anywhere from three to five days in the female body. As such, the egg has to be as close to the egg as possible so they can meet and join before the egg dies.

While not a lot of people will agree that the sexual positions have anything to do with getting pregnant, the logical inference is that it makes sense to assume the position that can help the sperm meet the egg in the shortest possible time.

This is especially true when for couples who have problems or difficulty conceiving. Having said this, the first "best position to get pregnant" tip is to avoid positions that least expose the cervix to the male sperm, and that generally defy gravity such as sex while standing up, sitting down, or with the woman on top. When trying to conceive, it is best to limit the amount of sperm that flows back out of the vagina.

The woman's hips should also be positioned in such a way that the sperm released is kept inside, giving it enough time to swim up to the female cervix.

Consider the following positions instead:

1. The missionary position. Or man-on-top is said to be the position that's best for getting pregnant. This is because this particular position allows for the deepest possible penetration, making it possible for the sperm to get deposited closest to the cervix.

2. Raise the hips. Elevating the hips, which can be done by placing a pillow behind her, can also be helpful because this exposes the female cervix to as much semen as the male can release.

3. Doggy-style. The rear-entry position where the man enters the woman from behind is also a recommended position. In this position, sperm is also deposited closest to the cervix, thereby helping increase the chances of conception.

4. Side-by-side. You can also try having intercourse while lying side by side. This position likewise causes the most exposure of the cervix to the male sperm.

5. Orgasms. Finally, while this has nothing to do with sexual positions, there are also researches that suggest the importance of the female orgasm in conceiving. According to studies, female orgasm leads to contractions that could push sperm up into the cervix. The lesson: have fun while trying to conceive.

Govinda’s comedy is rustic: Juhi Chawla

Posted: 24 Jan 2013 08:22 AM PST


Actress Juhi Chawla, who has entertained audiences with her impeccable comic timing in many films, says she is a great fan of Govinda when it comes to comedy.
"As a hero with whom I enjoyed and whenever I see him I feel he is such a fabulous actor, he is Govinda. He understands Hindi so well. His comedy is very rustic and connected with the common man," the 46 year-old said here Tuesday at the launch of SAB TV's new comedy show "Safar Filmy Comedy Ka".
"His lifestyle is also like any common man. He does all that what his fans like. So I really think he is a fine actor," she added.
Juhi has worked with Govinda in films like "Deewana Mastana", "Bhagaywan" and "Radha Ka Sangam", to name a few.
On being asked about her all-time favourite comedy film, she said: "'Andaaz Apna Apna' is my favourite comedy film and whenever I watch it, tears roll down my eyes while laughing," she said.
"Both Salman and Aamir have done a fabulous job in the film. Karisma and Raveena also gave great performances. The entire star cast was great," added the actress.
Juhi will next be seen in a children's film titled "Main Krishna Hoon"

What it takes being a Khan? SRK pours his heart out

Posted: 22 Jan 2013 07:44 AM PST

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan bares it all on what it means to be a Muslim in the Post-9/11 world and how he became an "inadvertent object of political leaders" in first person account for Outlook Turning Points magazine, published in association with The New York Times newspaper. He also features on the cover of the publication.
Titled "Being a Khan", the write-up appears in the current issue of the magazine and the 47-year-old actor, one of the few Indian actors with international recognition, writes: "I sometimes become the inadvertent object of political leaders who choose to make me a symbol of all that they think is wrong and unpatriotic about Muslims in India."
"There have been occasions when I have been accused of bearing allegiance to our neighbouring nation rather than my own country – this even though I am an Indian, whose father fought for the freedom of India. Rallies have been held where leaders have exhorted me to leave and return what they refer to my original homeland," added the superstar of Hindi cinema.
SRK is married to Gauri, a Hindu, and has two children – Aryan and Suhana.
"I gave my son and daughter names that could pass for generic (pan-India and pan-religious) ones – Aryan and Suhana. The Khan has been bequeathed by me so they can't really escape it."
"I pronounce it with my epiglottis when asked by Muslims and throw the Aryan as evidence of their race when non-Muslims enquire. I imagine this will prevent my offspring from receiving unwarranted eviction orders or random fatwas in the future," he wrote.
He said he became so sick of being mistaken for some crazed terrorist, "who co-incidentally carries the same name as mine that I made a film subtly titled 'My Name Is Khan' (and I am not a terrorist) to prove a point."
Set in the post 9/11 US, "My Name Is Khan" focuses on religious and national identitaies through Rizwan (SRK), who has Asperger's Syndrome, and how his Khan identity becomes all important in a suspicious America.
"Ironically, I was interrogated at the airport for hours about my last name when I was going to promote the film in America for the first time," said SRK

5 subtle ways to sexually arouse him

Posted: 20 Jan 2013 10:05 AM PST

It need not be bold, it need not be wild — there are subtle ways of arousing your man

There are several things that can turn him on, some of which are pretty erotic, while others are simply suggestive. However knowing how to keep the spark alive between the two of you is imperative in a long-term relationship. We give you certain subtle gestures that will give him the hint.

Blow and bite his ears: It is subtle but thrilling and a trick that will give him goosebumps. The ears are a very sensitive zone for both men and women, so blowing into his ears is an excellent way to get a guy hard. To tickle his libido a little more, try biting the outer edge of his ears and watch him shiver in ecstasy.

Nibble his neck: Much like the ears, the neck is a very sensitive area as well. Gently bite or lick his neck to give him the hint. It will leave him gasping for more and get you exactly what you want.

Touch his chest and waist: Contrary to popular belief, men actually enjoy being touched. Gently run your nails all over his chest and down to his waist curves, and watch his skin burst into goosebumps.

Tease him: Believe it or not, men actually prefer a woman who can speak her mind, especially when it comes to erotica. If you are not too comfortable with hardcore dirty talk, just tease him lightly and that should do it.

Touch yourself: Finally, the one sure-fire way to get your man hard is by simply touching yourself. Most men find it extremely attractive when their ladylove is sheepishly touching herself and alluring him with that 'come hither' look.

Men want cuddles, and women sex

Posted: 20 Jan 2013 10:04 AM PST


Researchers have found that acts of affection like hugs and kisses were more important to men than women.
And for women, sex tends to get better over time - after a couple has been together about 15 years.
Researchers surveyed over 1,000 couples from five different countries who had been in relationships for between one and 51 years.
Men who reported frequent kissing and cuddling were three times as happy, on average, as those who had less snuggling with their wives or girlfriends.
Women, meanwhile, said that such shows of affection had very little impact on their happiness.
Both men and women reported their sex lives improving the longer their relationship had lasted.
But men were more likely to say they were happy with their relationship while women were more likely to report being satisfied with the sex.
The survey of couples from the US, Germany, Spain, Japan and Brazil was carried out by researchers from the Kinsey Institute at America's Indiana University.
Lead author Julia Heiman said that the first 15 years of a relationship may be emotionally draining for women while they are raising children. As they get older, they have fewer pressures.
"It's possible that women became more sexually satisfied over time because their expectations change or life changes when their children grow up," the Telegraph quoted Heiman.
"The period of less satisfaction seems to overlap with the period of raising children, during which other things really take a focus," added Heiman.
The findings about intimacy were the opposite of what researchers had expected, she revealed.
She said: "We became interested in relationships that endure and how might we begin to understand them.
"Cuddles were more important to men in predicting the degree of happiness. The really useful message is we should not make presumptions about the genders."
"Because there''s no way to be sure we're going to be right in any way."
The study has been published in journal Archives of Sexual Behaviour.

Set new trend of Rs 200 crore movies Ekta Kapoor wants.

Posted: 20 Jan 2013 10:03 AM PST

Filmmaker Ekta Kapoor says she is now in a position to make a gritty action film like "Shootout At Wadala", adding its time to kick start a new trend of movies doing Rs.200 crore business."Today, every film does Rs.100 crore business… even a film which earns Rs.95 crore, joins the Rs 100 crore club business," Ekta told reporters here Saturday.
"So now it's time to create a new trend. 'Shootout at Wadala' is unique and I hope it makes Rs.200 crore club. Is there any club of that, should we start one?"
She was here for the live trailer launch of the crime thriller, a dramatised version of Mumbai police's first registered shootout in which gangster Manya Surve was gunned down in 1982 at Wadala, at the the Great India Place Mall here.
Ekta is quite confident about her film.
"I have made a film and the film is based on a book, so if the book is doing great, then why should I be scared? I think one should remain true to their heart, rest will fall into place," she said.
"I think actors have been brave to play the roles and the director has been brave enough to make the film. Also, I think I am in a brave position now to given such films," added the filmmaker who dared to make "The Dirty Picture", an unofficial biopic on southern sex icon "Silk Smitha".
Directed by Sanjay Gupta, the crime thriller is set for a May 1 release and features John Abraham, Kangna Ranaut, Tusshar Kapoor and Sonu Sood.
The film, a prequel to 2007 film "Shootout at Lokhandwala", is based on the book "Dongri To Dubai" written by Hussain Zaidi.
It is the story of gangsters like Sabir Ibrahim, Manya Surve and Dawood Ibrahim and Ekta has given the same name to the characters of the movies.

How healthy is your marriage?

Posted: 19 Jan 2013 09:35 AM PST

Marriages may be made in heaven but need maintenance on earth, here's a look at the parameters for the 21st century matrimonial bliss.

What is the definition of a healthy marriage?
One that is equally satisfying to both partners, says marriage counsellor, Pratibha Gheewala. In a world of rapidly changing social definitions, the answer to this question has altered considerably from what it was ten years ago. According to clinical psychologist Dr Varkha Chulani, the definition of a healthy marriage has evolved into one where both individuals retain their individuality and believe that in being a couple, they can make their lives healthier and happier. Though a healthy marriage is an art that comes without a guidebook, there are a host of parameters that can guide it in that direction.

Communication
Communication is a very important ingredient for a healthy married life.Men and women tend to assume that their spouses must understand them completely without even as much as vocalising their expectations.This is the worst assumption to live by, according to Dr John Gray, the author of Men are from Mars,Women are from Venus.Men and women are inherently disparate and attach priority to different aspects of a relationship." Though thoughtfulness is a welcome bonus, one should not be chastised for the lack of it", says Radhika Mehta, a housewife from the city whose husband regularly forgets birthdays and anniversaries. Men love rules and guidelines and find it much easier to toe the line than always having to guess a woman's mind, she says.Women tend to have fairy tale expectations of marriage whereas men are more practical. It is a healthy balance between the two that really works. One needs to put in more effort to communicate with each other like having meals together, talking about each other's day and being affectionate with each other whenever possible.

Sexual intimacy
Even though we are known as the land of the Kamasutra, sex is a subject that is rarely discussed openly."Sexual compatibility is very important in a relationship", says Dr Meera Iyer, a marriage counsellor. In India we tend to feel shy about discussing our sexual needs. In our society, the sexual dynamics have been such that the male has been dominant in a sexual relationship. However, women are waking up to their physical needs and are making their expectations more explicit. With stressful work lives and time reigning at a premium, couples are sharing lesser intimacy, either having lesser sex or a mechanical approach towards it. "The key to a healthy sex life is in mutually communicating one's needs and working towards achieving them. It is this physical bond that differentiates a husband and wife from any other relationship in the world", says Dr Iyer.

Friendship
According to Neena Nath the key to her healthy marriage is the fact that her spouse is also her best friend. One is caring and selflessly available for our friends; however,we tend to forget that in a marriage."We are careful not to hurt our friends and always put their interests foremost in our minds, if we treated our spouses the same way, there would be a lot less unhappy marriages," says Dr Tendulkar, a clinical psychologist.

Space
Each relationship requires both breathing space and space to grow."It's very important to accept and maintain each other's individuality in a marriage", says Dr Chulani. Most often, couples are trying to change one another to suit their needs which lead to one's loss of identity and eventual dissatisfaction with the marriage. It is important to allow your spouse the space to make his or her choices and be responsible for them.

Respect and acceptance
Respect and acceptance are one of the most important tools in creating a healthy marriage. Very often couples tend to take each other for granted and believe they have a right to be condescending towards each other. Couples need to respect one another and allow each other space for mistakes. One needs to accept the other as an individual with a past, a present, a career, personal choices and existing relationships. "A constant need to reject and change your spouse leads to humiliation and loss of self esteem, contributing to an unhealthy marriage", explains Dr Chulani.

Interests and passions
A common interest or passion contributes greatly to a healthy marriage. Learning about each other's careers, playing a sport together, sharing a passion for reading or simply playing board games, can inject a marriage with vitality. Studies show that couples who play together stay together.

Commitment and fidelity
Gheewala believes that earlier marriages were more secure though less fulfilling, whereas now marriages are more fulfilling but less secure.Marriages are on a shorter fuse than ever before. Women are becoming increasingly financially independent and couples no longer feel the need to stick to each other for lack of a better option. Expectations from each other have also increased due to increased exposure to the outside world. Dr Chulani stresses on forethought and making the right choice for a partner before one gets married.When young, people tend to make their choices based on the wrong pretexts, therefore pre marriage counselling is a great idea, one that is gaining momentum these days. For post marriage health, a positive and constructive attitude is what helps couples tide over the years, and of course, lots of love and fresh air!

Do you know everything about sex?

Posted: 19 Jan 2013 09:32 AM PST

Think again for the more someone claims to know, the less they generally do know.

Alicia Stanton, a board-certified OB/GYN and the author of ''Hormone Harmony,'' who specializes in treating men and women suffering hormone imbalances, has listed top nine sex-related myths and what the real scoop is about sex, desire, and making it all work, reports the Fox News.

Myth: Interest in sex decreases with menopause.
Reality: Many women maintain hormonal balance and interest in sex through menopause. And, pregnancy and menstruation are no longer a concern, spontaneity can reign. Also, they are typically more confident and knowledgeable about what they want, so sex has the potential to be better than ever.

Myth: The only hormone important for libido is testosterone.
Reality: Although testosterone is very important for libido and sexual function in men and women, other hormones play a part as well. Estrogen is actually very important for desire in both men and women. Also, a high level of cortisol, our "fight or flight hormone," works against libido. If your body thinks that you're running for your life, literally or figuratively, it is not going to be very interested in sex.

Myth: If you're truly in love, desire for sex and high libido should come easily.
Reality: Relationships and making a real connection with someone takes time and energy. Relationships require as much attention as anything about which you are passionate. Focus on keeping your partner and his or her interests high on your priority list and you will find yourself discovering new ways to connect and keep the passion alive.

Myth: If you're healthy, you should want sex all of the time.
Reality: A wide variety in sexual appetite or level of libido exists. The way you know if you're having the "right" amount of sex is if you and your partner are both happy with your level of activity. There's no need to compare yourself to others.

Myth: If you're connected with your partner, you shouldn't have to ask for what you need.
Reality : Even if you and your partner haven't previously spoken much about your sexual relationship, it might be good to start talking. This is especially true if you're entering a new phase of life, including childbirth, menopause, or andropause, often called male menopause. If you begin to notice changes in your body or sexual desire, be sure to let your partner know what's going on. And, remember, communicating about what feels good enhances the experience for both of you.

Myth: Your most important sex organs are "south of the border."
Reality: Although those places are lots of fun, remember that your brain is the biggest sex organ in your body. You always have the ability to choose how you feel and think about sex and your sexuality. The desirability a man or woman feels about himself or herself is a very potent aphrodisiac. If you feel irresistible, your partner will find you irresistible. Passion is contagious!

Myth: If you don't have a partner, there is no sense in having a libido.
Reality: Having a loving relationship with yourself is essential. Even if you don't currently have a partner, feeling sensual and desirable will add passion to many aspects of your life. It takes practice to learn what arouses you and what a potential partner finds arousing. Learning to pleasure yourself is an important skill that you can continue to enjoy on your own, or that you can teach to a partner one day.

Myth: Women are the only ones who have problems with low libido.
Reality: Although the sexual desire disorder known as low libido is more common in women, it occurs in men as well. Some physical causes include alcohol, various medications, stress, hormone imbalances (such as low testosterone), cocaine use, brain tumors that produce the hormone prolactin, diabetes, and other major diseases such as cancer.

Myth: Hormonal issues are the only cause of low libido in women.
Reality: There are hormone imbalances such as low estrogen, low testosterone, hypothyroidism, and high cortisol from stress, but there are many other potential causes as well. Physical problems such as vulvar or vaginal pain or dryness may cause an increase in frustration and reduced libido. Surgery or other major health conditions like cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure or arthritis can also reduce libido.

Also, relationship issues, psychological issues (including depression), alcohol, tobacco use, and weight issues may also contribute to low libido.

Poonam Pandey took a holy dip in the Sangam on Thursday. Visiting her grandparents in Allahabad for the first time, Pandey camped in the Kumbh area along with her relatives.
"Though I have stayed in the most luxurious hotels, but camping in a tent on the sandy banks of the Ganga was the most amazing experience of my life. I felt so invigorated and refreshed after the holy dip," said the model, who also took a boat ride on the Ganga and described the experience at the Kumbh as "something which can not be explained but realised".

She added, "It is a new me after my stay there, and I would certainly like to come back."

Poonam made it a point to interact with the sadhus. "I was very curious about meeting the Naga sadhus. They were delighted to meet me and even gave me their blessings!" she said.

The model also tweeted about her experiences: "Tried a #NASHA first time in my Life at Kumbh Mela as a Prasad .... What a #NASHA it was.. JAI BHOLE NAATH .. JAI SHIV SHAMBHOO .. Full Power."

Nasha is the title of her debut film.
