Battle on Haifa Street, Baghdad, Iraq

American infantry and snipers from the U.S. Army's 3rd Stryker Brigade team up with Iraqi soldiers from the 6th Iraqi Army Division during a firefight on Baghdad's notorious Haifa Street, January 2007.

The Iraq War: Legal or Illegal? Please don't ignore this. Think about a little

Is the U.S.-led invasion and occupation of Iraq legal or illegal? Do any of the charges of illegality we've been hearing about have any legal basis at all? And why should we even care about international law anyway?

Osama bin Laden and Bush : FRIENDS?

No, that’s not a misprint and I’m not smoking anything illegal. In many ways the President and Osama are and have been quite dependent on each other and both of them have there own reasons for sending each other a special thank you card.

Let’s take a look from the President’s point of view.

When the President first came to office, he was not very well liked as the latest White House resident. He had only been confirmed as the President due to a decision in the election by the Supreme Court. (In fact, since that Supreme Court decision, the vote count after-the-fact has shown that Al Gore may in fact have actually won the election.) Unfortunately, after Gore had officially conceded the election, there was no going back.

In addition, after the election, Bush was so anti-Clinton, he ordered any projects that were started by the Clinton administration to either be cancelled or to be given the lowest priority. One of Clinton’s top projects at the time was the continued pursuit of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda. However, Condoleezza Rice, Bush’s then National Security Advisor was told to not continue with that pursuit. If not for the 9/11 disaster in 2001, it’s hard to imagine exactly what kind of presidency George W would have had. In fact, most political historians seem to agree that without the terrorist attacks on the twin towers and the Pentagon, the eventual “War President”, George W Bush would most likely have been a one-term president, as was his father.

After 9/11, President Bush’s popularity went to the highest level of his two terms. At that time, he and Rudy Giuliani were probably the most popular and recognized individuals in America and most of the free world. As horrible as 9/11 was, one would have to admit that both George W and Rudy owe their initial popularity and current notoriety to Osama bin Laden’s actions.

One project that was a focus of George W, even before he became president, was the removal of the Iraq regime of Saddam Hussein. There have been a number of articles about how George W wanted to finish the job where his father left off by getting rid of Saddam. In one such interview, George W. is quoted as saying that if he ever had the “political capital” and popularity as his father had during the previous Gulf War, he would not waste it as George H.W. had done. George W. said he would spend it by going straight into Baghdad and rid the world of Saddam. Unfortunately, for a short time, Osama’s strike on American soil gave George W. that “political capital”. After the attack and a successful series of strikes on al Qaeda in Afghanistan (where he should have stayed.) George W. spent his remaining “capital” in selling the country, the congress and other countries on an illegal war in Iraq. To sum it up, Osama made George W. popular for just enough time that he could fulfill his goal of going after Saddam. There aren’t many single individuals in the world who could cause the world’s most powerful country to go to war, so I guess one could say Osama’s been a pretty good supporter of George W. Bush.

Now from Osama’s point of view, George W. Bush has been a gift from Allah. Osama can thank George W. for two major decisions that have allowed Osama to stay alive and to become one of the most famous and effective Muslim marketing and recruiting individuals in history.

First, by initially only sending a small strike force into Afghanistan, this allowed Osama to escape to the Tora Bora mountain region and to then slip away from the American troops trying to corner him in Afghanistan. George W. then decided to change his focus from finding Osama to going after Saddam. He subsequently also diverted the American military to concentrating on Iraq instead of where al Qaeda and Osama were headquartered in Afghanistan. This fulfilled two of Osama’s most critical requirements. It immediately took the focus off of the US military for finding Osama, which allowed him to stay alive and escape into the mountain regions of bordering Pakistan. It also gave Osama the greatest recruitment tool a radical Muslim could wish for at just the right time.

Osama had previously warned the Muslim world that the US would eventually use its military power to attack and occupy a Muslim country and that the US would then station military troops on sacred Muslim territory. (Remember, one of the reasons that Osama attacked America at home was because the US Military had stationed troops on sacred Muslim grounds in Saudi Arabia during the original Gulf War.) By attacking and occupying Iraq, President Bush confirmed Osama’s predictions which raised the aura of Osama even higher in the view of devout Muslims around the world. Since 2001, the US military has done a good job of dealing heavy blows to Osama’s radical al Qaeda military organization. But George W. has personally done more to promote Osama’s global radical Muslim marketing and recruiting efforts than any program or person in the world.

Actually, when you look at it from either the President or Osama’s point of view, they have been more than best friends. Their combined personal goals could only been achieved by the direct actions of both individuals.

Continuous Male Orgasms

Several years ago I learned that by getting extremely close to the threshold of ejaculatory inevitability, then halting all stimulation, then getting "close" again repeatedly, I would achieve a continuous plateau stage with frequent partial orgasms. The resultant intensity of pleasure is possibly one half that felt in a full ejaculatory orgasm but potentially unending. Furthermore, the associated sexual organs exercise, and the learned ability to better control those organs mentally, has greatly increased the scope and persuasiveness of my sexual pleasure. It is my opinion that I have learned to enhance and maintain indefinitely the physical events and associated pleasure of an absolutely imminent ejaculatory orgasm. Feelings of pleasure are augmented by greater loin vasocongestion, and sexual organ fluid fullness and readiness. The following discussion attempts to teach men how to achieve a continuous orgasm, and to explain the physiological basis of this phenomenon. My discovery of the continuous orgasm was accidental, but recounting the event may help others separate their orgasm and ejaculatory experiences. The first time I experienced the potential of this technique I was masturbating while stoned on pot. Stimulation to my penis felt somewhat dulled. I got close to cumming but sensed that my orgasm was going to be weak, so I stopped all stimulation, knowing that I could build up to a better orgasm. When I was able to resume penile stimulation I noticed the pleasure of touching my penis was greater...so I came close to cumming again and again...and it felt better and better.
Possibly five "close calls" later, my prostate had swollen and my seminal vesicles hardened and discharged but no semen flowed into my urethra. Pot seems to broaden the threshold between my orgasm emissions phase and the ejaculatory reflex. Intense pleasure emanated from my testes, which were swollen and drawn under the tissue aside my penis. Possibly forty minutes into this routine my loin muscles began to ache, so I proceeded to the most intensely pleasurable orgasm and high quantity ejaculation I had ever had! Long afterward
my loins continued to radiate an enjoyable ache. I had given all my sexual organ muscles a hearty exercising. I eagerly anticipated my next masturbation session, with delay dictated by my need to reload with semen. I no longer use, nor do I advocate the use of pot because of its damaging effect on the lungs. Possibly marijuana brownies will do the trick. Again, pot use helped me control and broaden the threshold of ejaculatory inevitability, thus facilitating the learning of the continuous orgasm. Pot use also has a strong aphrodisiac effect when I entertained myself in this pre-ejaculation orgasm stage. Feelings of pleasure (sex munchies) are enhanced. For several months, without pot, I rarely achieved intense orgasm feelings without eliciting a few spasmodic pumping throbs and ejaculating small amounts of seminal fluid. With practice though, use of pot is not necessary to enjoy an orgasm without ejaculation. Practice results in discoveries of higher degrees of sexual pleasure and sensations, so it is easy to exercise! At this point I would like to discuss the physiology of the male ejaculatory orgasm. Reference books describe the event in stages involving sexual organ vasocongestion, rising to the plateau stage, then the orgasm which consists of internal sexual organ emissions and the ejaculation reflex response.
Actually, events beyond the plateau phase can be broken into many additional stages. My first sensations come from my testes, which draw up into my body. When men first sense the arrival of their orgasm, those feelings emanate from the epididymis and the spermatic cords which contract and spasm to move sperm up the ductus (vas) deferns into the ampullary gland or ampulla. The ampulla filling with sperm accentuates sexual stimulation pleasure. Continued penile stimulation soon triggers a hardening of the seminal vesicles which discharge fluid into the ampulla then into the ejaculatory ducts. Sufficient pressure quickly builds in the ejaculatory ducts to trigger a hardening of the prostate, which discharges directly into the urethra. Ejaculation is inevitable once the prostate hardens. Finally, the valves at the ends of the ejaculatory ducts open simultaneously with the initiation of the ejaculation reflex. Semen discharged from the penis comes in a distinct sequence of partially mixed emissions: 1.prostatic fluid (10%); 2. sperm (5%) and ampullary gland fluid (10%); 3. seminal fluid (70%) and again; 4. prostatic fluid (5%). Note that there are valves at the ends of the ejaculatory ducts and that fluids pressure triggers the ejaculation reflex. I evidently orgasm and discharge sperm, ampullary gland, and seminal vesicle fluid into the ejaculatory ducts without triggering ejaculation or the opening those valves. I have trained myself to lock the ejaculatory duct valves closed during these emissions.
The key is WHEN YOU GET VERY CLOSE TO EJACULATORY INEVITABILITY COMPLETELY RELAX ALL SEXUAL ORGAN MUSCLES, AND CEASE STIMULATION TO THE PENIS. This muscle relaxation locks the ejaculatory ducts valves closed, even as the seminal vesicles proceed to harden and discharge. Ampullary gland fluid, sperm and seminal fluid pressure builds behind the duct valves. Stopping stimulation to the penis halts the orgasmic emissions pressure driven progression to the ejaculation reflex. With experience and exercise, I have raised the pressure level required to trigger the ejaculation reflex response. I sense exactly how much more pressure can build before crossing the threshold to ejaculatory inevitability. My orgasms are stronger and ultimately continuous without triggering ejaculation. My seminal vesicles harden right after I have nearly cum; hence they are almost constantly hard and discharging. My prostate swells without hardening, currently to about just half as much during a full ejaculatory orgasm. Every approach to ejaculation increases the amount of fluid held in the ampulla, with an associated increase in pleasure and passion of sexual readiness.
The presence of sperm, ampullary gland, and seminal fluid in my ejaculatory ducts is evidenced sensations I can produce after nearly cumming. Shortly after ceasing stimulation I can contract my bulbospongiosus muscle and thereby press
on my prostate and feel the fluids being pushed back up into the ampulla and seminal vesicles. This feeling of fluid movement and fullness is very pleasurable. I can stop masturbating, and hours (days) later still feel the semen in my loins eager for release. My testes also feel full and are slightly sensitive to jostling. Notice my descriptions of the physical changes to internal sexual organs that occur during an orgasm and ejaculation. By placing a middle finger into your rectum the hardening of the seminal vesicles and prostate can be palpitated digitally. Softly massaging the prostate and ampulla when they are gorged from orgasmic filling is pleasurable. The ampullary gland is the triangular organ, point facing downward, that lies just above the prostate. Four final observations can be made. First, it seems that over time my sexual organs and/or testes are producing more sperm. I easily cum twice daily (at 41 years old), and after just 48 hours of abstinence fluids build up to a sense of fullness that demands release. That sense of fullness comes from my testes.
Secondly, I can generate a strong feeling of sexual excitement mentally at will. I am able to elicit a feeling of sexual rush at will, by mentally inducing contractions in my epididymis and spermatic cord causing sperm movement up my ductus (vas) deferens. The sperm rising to fill my ampullary gland raises my level of sexual excitement. My scrotum and spermatic cords move my testes around when I generate these pleasure sensations. Thirdly, I am now working on maintaining orgasms without stimulation to my penis. Once a high degree of fluid pressure has accumulated behind the ejaculatory ducts valves, I can induce contractions in my epididymis and spermatic cord thereby generate sexual stimulation. This stimulation maintains my continuous orgasm and can trigger the ejaculatory reflex. Finally, my forth observation is that the ability to enjoy orgasms while delaying ejaculation makes me a better lover. I am in no hurry, my partner is excited by my level of readyness and periodic dry penile throbs. I am satisfied and concentrate on giving pleasure.

Make a woman orgasm

How to make a woman orgasm... and scream for more... every time! by Jeanette Harper:

Sex is a wonderful thing - I haven't met a person yet who would dispute this. Everybody loves sex, whether they like talking about it openly or not. One of the reasons you're reading this is because you enjoy sex and you would like to enjoy it more and have your partner enjoy it more. For all you males reading this, wouldn't you like to be known around town as the greatest fuck of all time? Or husbands and men in steady relationship - wouldn't you like your woman to be amazed at your new found sexual knowledge and have her beg you for more sex? Sex can be the greatest pleasure a person can ever experience - or a major disappointment.

Surveys have shown that 75% of women fake orgasm every time, 15% faked it most of the time and about 9.5% said they occasionally faked it. Which leaves about 0.5% who said they never faked it. I know most of you men out there will find this hard to believe, but it's true. I'm a woman, I know.

Women, by faking orgasms, are missing out on one of the most pleasurable experiences imagineable - but so are their partners. You will realize the difference once you have read this Playgal exclusive article. Both the male and females sexual pleasure increases to unbelievable new heights once you know how to bring a woman to an orgasm every time. Your woman will want you as never before - she will never want or need another man. And girls, if you want to have better sex, then teach your man what I am about to tell you.

Most men I have met were anxious to learn how to satisfy women during sex. Each man I interviewed I asked 'What do you think makes a woman orgasm most during intercourse?' Most responses were along the lines of:

'Just putting my penis inside her gets her excited' - It may get your partner excited but it is not enough - no where near enough.

'She just loves me ramming her hard' - This is so far from the truth it is ridiculous!

'Fucking her fast' - Wrong!

It is generally easy for men to become sexually aroused because his sexual organs are on the outside of the body and are easily stimulated. Men that are unfit mentally or physically can sometimes take longer to arouse, as do men that are bored with their partners. Do you know the main reason men get bored with their partners sexually? Could it be that the woman herself is bored because she is not getting sexual pleasure and therefore doesn't seem interested in sex as much. Sex would get boring if the pleasure is all one sided, don't you think guys? Imagine having sex every few days and never reaching an orgasm. Doesn't sound like much fun does it?

Some men can get a woman worked into a sexual frenzy during foreplay, but then when it comes to intercourse .. the momentum doesn't continue and in most cases, both the man and woman don't know what is wrong. Then the woman finally pretends to have an orgasm because she wants the whole event to be over to end the boredom and/or pain.

If a man doesn't know how to handle intercourse properly the woman will become bored and unsatisfied in the relationship, and look for other options. Most women will tell their men everything is great - just to keep them feeling like a man. The men usually are unsuspecting that there is a problem.

But guys, it's not your fault - you're a man; how could you possibly know what it feels like? Only a woman really knows how to satisfy a woman. Only a woman knows the physical sensations of a woman's body. Most women don't like talking about it with their partners because it may make them feel less manly.

Most literature is written about rough, ramming and hard sex, so why would anyone think sex should be different - most women think this is the way to have sex too. But I'm going to help you and your partner enjoy sex to its maximum over the next few editions of Playgal.

Tease your Partner First

Women like affection. They like to have their bodies gently caressed. Imagine yourself lying totally naked and 100% relaxed with hands slowly and gently touching your body. Try running your fingertips gently, so gentle you are barely touching your body along the inside of your own arm down to your hand. It tickles a bit but it feels nice, even if it feels like you need to scratch it a little.

When making love with your partner you need to give their body a desire. Gently run your fingertips all over her body barely touching the skin. Do this for 3-4 minutes without touching the breasts or clitoris then slowly work your way up to her breasts but DONT touch her nipples. Circle her breasts with the palms of your hands and fingertips. You can occasionally kiss gently around her breasts but DON'T touch her nipples yet - touch below and above them but not on them.

This will start to drive her crazy - you have created a desire for you to touch her nipples. You are not giving her something she wants. After a few minutes of teasing her very very softly touch her nipples. Then continue to circle the nipples gently with your fingers then gently lick once or twice next to each nipple but not on it.

You are in total control - she is being driven insane by now. You have created an excitement and desire within her sexual being. Now when you feel she is ready - she will let you know it is time to move on to the next step .. The beginning of Intercourse, in PART 2, next month.

Note to Part 1:
It is important not to weaken and begin to grope and paw at her breasts and body and do not touch her clitoris in this teasing phase - it will only turn her off. The purpose is to create a want. Don't weaken - stay in control, this is only the warm-up for great love making.

Part Two
Ready for Action!
Now, you're both ready to go .. you're hard and ready, and she's giving you that look that says she wants it. You just want to plunge straight in - and she's cheering you on.

DON'T DO IT!

You haven't gone to all this effort to blow it all now, pardon the pun. Now - you've got to really start torturing her..

Touch your penis to the lips of her clitoris .. gently. Softly rub your penis over her clit, letting her know it's there, ready to enter .. if you want it to. You are now completely in charge, and in total control of the situation. You're going to tease her until she screams for you to put it in!

Now, she's asking you to put it in .. but you don't. Keep teasing. She asks more urgently .. you still don't. You are in control, and she's loving it - not knowing when you're going to enter! Keep teasing, gently rubbing, even if she does scream for you to put it in.

Only when she begins building towards orgasm to you move it further in .. just half an inch or so, very slowly, in and out. After a little while (staying in control!) move it slowly in a full inch .. gradually, keep increasing the amount you put it in, until it's almost the whole length.

Remember, if you enter the entire length - ram it in - you will make contact with her clit, and this we don't want; the object is to tease her, make her want you to thrust all the way. The longer you tease her, and yourself, the more intense your orgasms will be.

The Point of Surrender

Now, she's quivering with desire. Speed up a little - not to ramming speed though - and it'll push her over the edge. She may scream, she may call at your name (hopefully!) or she may just whimper softly - but you'll know you've given her an orgasm. But keep going! Keep moving in and out, faster now; she'll orgasm again - more quickly now, with no need for teasing. You can sped up even more if you wish (and can) - but don't resort to 'ramming' her hard.

She may have several more orgasms .. or only one more. Two to five is the norm, and this may be the first one she's had in a long time! If you've been able to keep going past the first one, that's great .. but even if you cum now, it will be one of the deepest and most incredible orgasms you yourself have ever had.

Refine your technique; try to make yourself hold off longer and longer. It will enrich the sexual experience for both you and your partner.

Note to Part 2:
If you're both adventurous - and really willing to torture each other, wait until the point of orgasm and stop - dead. Withdraw, and lie down beside her.. then resume again later that or the next day. The anticipation will peak, until the next time you'll both be ready with hardly any teasing!

Home Builder : It will be much more worst then it is now

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The battered markets for real estate and home building still have farther to fall, according to a range of economists who spoke Wednesday at a forecast conference sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders.

The economists agreed that the problems with home finance markets will continue to hit housing into next year, and that even when there is a recovery, it will be a slow process that will see weakness continue into 2009

While most said they believed the overall U.S. economy can weather the housing downturn, several saw significant risk of a recession. Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Economy.com, said that large areas of the country will fall into recession, if they haven't done so already.

The economists also admitted to being surprised by how bad the housing downturn has become, and all said that making forecasts of a recovery is difficult due to the problems in the credit markets.

"This time, we just don't know how it's going to pan out because the securities markets have become so much more important," said David Seiders, chief economist with the builder's trade group.

The conference was held in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, as another trade group, the National Association of Realtors, was reporting the lowest pace of existing home sales since it started using current measures to track those sales since 1999. The sales of existing home sales slowed to the slowest pace since 1998, while the supply of homes on the market rose to its highest level in 12 years.

Zandi estimated that the excess inventory of homes on the market is close to one million, and he added that the glut could get worse if mortgage defaults and foreclosures increase, as it now appears they will.

"We're awash in inventory," he said. "I don't think this [credit] crisis is over. It's less stark than it was four to eight weeks ago. But I wouldn't be surprised if the embers which are smolder catch on fire again."

Thomas Lawler, a former Fannie Mae official who is now a private housing and finance consultant, said the easy financing terms of the boom years have been replaced by an overly restrictive lending environment. But even when underwriting standards return to more normal conditions, it won't be enough to lift demand and prices back to peak levels, he added.

"There's a part of the mortgage market that is gone for at least a while, and it should be because it should never have been there," Lawler said. "But that will slash demand. If the pace of building doesn't continue to fall, we'll see even worse price declines." He's now projecting prices down another 6 or 7 percent next year, on top of declines of that amount this year.

"The fact that building wasn't cut as early as it should have been is one of the reasons that that prices continue to fall," he said.

Still, Michael Moran of Daiwa Securities said he puts the chance of a recession at only about 30 percent, as employment and income should stop the housing market from going into a free fall.

"I think it's a blow the economy should be able to absorb," he said. "The housing prices are holding up reasonably well. If you look at the traditional determinants of housing demand, they're not that bad."

And Bernard Markstein, a National Association of Home Builders economist, said that the fact that home building isn't seen as coming back to 2005 levels or even 2006 levels for the foreseeable future isn't a bad thing.

"The real comparison should be to 2002 to 2003, back when we were meeting our needs, not to 2004 or 2005," Markstein said. "That's when we were overbuilding - we don't want to be there."

Bush urges world to help Cuba become free

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush blistered Fidel Castro's government in Cuba on Wednesday and challenged the world to help the people of the communist island shed Castro's rule and become a free society.

President Bush kisses Marlenis Gonzalez, whose husband is a political prisoner in Cuba, after speaking Wednesday.

"Now is the time to support the democratic movement growing on the island," Bush said in an address at the U.S. State Department. "Now is the time to stand with the Cuban people as they stand up for their liberty. And now is the time for the world to put aside its differences and prepare for Cuban's transitions to a future of freedom and progress and promise."

Bush added, "The dissidents of today will be the nation's leaders. And when freedom finally comes, they will surely remember who stood with them."

In his first major address on Cuban policy in four years, Bush sought to refocus world attention on life in Cuba under Castro He spoke of citizens there who he said have no freedom of employment or expression, who live in dire circumstances and who fear beatings for pursuing the lives they want.

"As with all totalitarian systems, Cuba's regime no doubt has other horrors still unknown to the rest of the world," Bush said. "Once revealed, they will shock the conscience of humanity, and they will shame the regime's defenders and all those democracies that had been silent."

In a brief essay published Tuesday, Castro pre-empted Bush's address, saying that the U.S. leader is threatening the world with nuclear war and widespread famine.

"The danger of a massive world famine is aggravated by Mr. Bush's recent initiative to transform foods into fuel," the 81-year-old wrote, referring to U.S. support for alternative energy initiatives using corn and other food crops to produce biofuels.

Castro went on to write that by "calling on strategic security principles, [Bush] threatens humanity with World War III, this time using atomic weapons."

The art of oral sex

What's Down There?

This is for you guys. Most men don't really know what they've been sticking their cock into. Many women also don't appreciate what they have, and can't understand why a man would think that it was beautiful, let alone want to put his face in it.

Why would a man like to eat pussy? Most men I know who really love women and want make having sex with them a joint endeavor rather than a conquest, also like to eat pussy. They don't want to just eat her, they want to bring her to a great climax and then build her up for a fuck that neither will forget, or maybe get a good blowjob if that's what she wants to do. I think that there are two basic reasons. First, many men want to give their woman the most sexual satisfaction they can, they enjoy pleasing her and will go to great lengths to do so, the more their woman likes what they are doing to her, the harder their cocks get until sometimes they cum just from eating her. The second is the role that the mouth, tongue, taste and smell play in sex. Why do people kiss? They receive pleasure from the interaction that takes place during a kiss. The mouth, lips and tongue are some of the more erogenous zones of the body and are active rather than passive, you do something with them. You nibble on her ears, kiss and suck on her nipples, kiss her navel, why not kiss and suck on the most sexual part of her body, her pussy. The tastes and odors of the fresh secretions from a clean healthy woman's pussy are also erotic to many men. Put this all together and your mouth in her pussy is where it's at guys.

Now that you've got your woman out of the shower, on the bed, and fairly well warmed up (or she's got you there), stop and look at what you see. Leave the lights on, or get a flashlight or something, so that you can examine her carefully. Take a good look at what's between her legs. Beautiful, isn't it? There's nothing that makes a woman more unique than her pussy. I know. I've seen plenty of them. They come in all different sizes, colors and shapes; some are tucked inside like a little girl's cunnie and some have thick luscious lips that come out to greet you. Some are nested in brushes of fur and others are covered with transparent fuzz.

The first thing you see is her muff. It should be the same color as the rest of her hair but who knows these days. It has a slightly different texture than the hair on her head and can cover a large or small area but usually just up over the mons area, that fleshy mound over her pelvic bone, and down each side of her pussy to its lower end. It usually does not spread out to her thighs and has sparse growth partially onto the outer lips.

Don't worry, looking at it won't make you go blind. Nestled in the midst of her muff are the outer, or major, lips of her pussy (they are vertical on all women). They are not overly sensitive to touch on the outside (but it's a good place to start), about the same as the shaft of your cock. They extend from the upper part of the hood that covers her clit to more or less the bottom of her pussy. They're thick and luscious in the middle and thin out at each end blending into her body. Some are almost closed while others are open to varying extents, allowing the inner pleasures to peep through. They don't generally come together completely at the top, exposing the upper cone of the clitoral hood, and less so at the bottom, giving you a glimpse of the bottom of the vaginal entrance where the lower parts of the inner lips surround it.

Underneath the outer lips are the inner, or minor, lips. These are much thinner, more sensitive and fun to play with. At the top they form the cone-shaped hood that protects the sensitive clit, closing in under the clit and then coming back out to continue down to the bottom of the vaginal entrance. They tend to blossom out between the outer lips, especially near the bottom.

Between the underside of the clit and the bottom of the vaginal opening lies the vestibule, your new playground. Although the clit's hood is a part of the inner lips, they appear to only cover the vestibule. The urethra and vagina open into the vestibule. Excluding the obvious first place role of the clit, it's the vestibule and the entrance to the vagina where a lot of the action takes place.

I've saved the best for last, the clitoris or clit, accent on the first syllable. Most of you know it, but for those who don't, it's THE woman's sex organ, period. It may feel great to be fucked vaginally or otherwise, but if the stimulation isn't right there, on the clit, you're ignoring the place that's going to make her cum, and presumably that's why you're reading this, right? It's right there at the top juncture of her inner lips, a small knob of pink flesh. This is where it's at boys, and don't forget it. Almost any licking and sucking of the labia or vaginal entrance are going to feel just dandy; just remember that's pleasurable, teasing, not the main event. I can't tell you how many guys have thrust their tongues up my cunt thinking that that was going to make me cum. They were wrong. Of course, with a little manual stimulation . . . but I'm getting ahead of myself.

Women feel differently about how much direct stimulation they can take on their clit. Some women will adore it if you suck hard on their exposed clits, others will shriek in pain. You may encounter a woman who is completely unable to take direct stimulation of her clit; the goal is still the same, but you'll have to stimulate it indirectly, such as through her labia. IMPORTANT NOTE: Often, what is unacceptably rough at first, may be fine after she's very excited. The fact is, most women really need a good bit of stimulation before a targeted attack on their clit, but once they're ready, that's where you want to devote your attention.

Back off for now, rest your head on her thigh and just admire the view. Learn to appreciate your woman's unique qualities and tell her what makes her special. Describe what you see, in poets' words if you can, but in any way you can as long as it's with love and admiration.

How to relate to your children

Your relationship with a child will go more smoothly if you show a little kindness.

Steps

1. Be nice to a child. step down a little and physically go to his or her level.
2. Be giving and kind. Don't scold or hit.
3. Listen. Really pay attention to what they have to say. Some of it will be silly. Some of it will be repetitive or less than sensible. Then, go with it. Joke and be silly, explain, answer their questions as best you can, or ask them some questions of your own to get them thinking.
4. Let them get away with a few things, as long as it won't cause too much trouble. This will make them think you're cool. Let them stay up late, or invite all kinds of friends over. Let them get into the chocolate, watch the big kid movies or a TV show that is on a little late.
5. Make time for kids. Get off your computer, and play some children's games like "Mother May I", "Red Light, Green Light", or even board games.
6. Read to them, or let them read to you. A good story is a great thing to share.
7. Or play pretend games like "house", or "doctor".
8. Get outside and keep kids active. When kids are getting some exercise and fresh air their behavior is better than if they are playing video games all the time. The best way to convince them to get outside is to announce "in half and hour we're all going outside, so you have a half hour to play video games" then in 10 minutes time, remind them again. Then when they have to get off there will be less likelihood of all the screaming and "I hate yous".
9. Encourage the children. Cheer them on with phrases such as "good job". Give high fives. This will get them excited and will make them feel appreciated.
10. Take children places. Playgrounds, libraries, amusement parks, rinks, lakes, movies, museums, anywhere where they can explore.
11. Go crazy! Dance, laugh, sing, shout, tell jokes, tell secrets, be a kid yourself!

Tips

• On rainy days, have indoor activities planned like board games, or make a tent inside, dance, dress up, or get soaked in the rain.
• On sunny days go outside, wander around and play tag, go swimming, rake leaves, go sledding, or skating, be fun!
• Be supportive to the child, when things go wrong don't freak out, children get upset when someone is angry at them. Stay calm, even though they lost your ring, or broke your favorite whatever. Use a firm voice, never scold. Help them when things go wrong. Hug them and hold them and tell them you love them.
• Surprise them once in awhile with a treat, not necessarily candy but maybe a new pet, or their favorite dinner, or take them to their favorite place but don't tell them until they see for themselves. Write notes in their lunch box, buy them a toy and give it to them when they get home.

Warnings

• Children heat up quickly when angry and take a few minutes before they love you to death again.

The truth about Female Orgasm

Understanding of the Purpose of Female Pleasure

In contrast to the male orgasm which has a very clear biological purpose – to impregnate – it seems that people have not been able to find a clear biological purpose for the female orgasm. When you ask this simple question at a cocktail party, you will find out that almost no one knows the answer. To set the record straight, EGO correspondent Marius Peter decided to take matters into his own hands, brush up on his biology studies at Harvard, and research various online and off-line information sources to find out the little-known, surprising and definitely revolutionary truth that the female orgasm increases the chances of getting pregnant over five (5) times, and more importantly he found out how it all happens.

Over the centuries, scientist of all sorts including biologists, psychologists, sexologists, anthropologists and feminists have all put forth various theories which could be classified by and large into three categories. Let us first review them.

Theory 1: “No purpose”

Harvard professor Stephen Jay Gould that the clitoris is vestigial or frivolous in the female, much like the nipples are purposeless in the male (or are they?), and that female orgasm serves no particular evolutionary function. Many feminists such as Natalie Angier have criticized this theory, because it understates the value of female orgasm. Well, Natalie you will find your answer at the end of this article.

In fact, I only found one source which got the truth right besides the discovery channel. The reader is encouraged to do their own Googleing and mail us any conclusions or leave them in the comment area below the article.

Theory 2: “The purpose of the female orgasm is just ‘fun’”.

This argument makes no sense to me. Many things are “fun” for people, such as eating,sleeping, drinking or skiing but their primary reason is not to be fun but something else. Take eating and sleeping for instance – we need to sleep to rest, not just becasue it's fun, we need to eat to replenish the body, not because we need to have fun. True, nature encourages us to do these things by making them "fun", but the primary purpose is sometihng else. "Fun" is just a way to encourage the body to do things whose deeper, primary purpose is something else.

Also, you can argue that men can also have fun during intercourse without an orgasm so we can safely concluding that “fun” might be necessary (to encourage procreation) but not a sufficient argument.

Theory 3: “The purpose is to maximize the likelihood of pregnancy” and its Conclusive Proof

The question is how? So what actually happens during a female orgasm and what are the detailed mechanics that would cause to maximize the likelihood of pregnancy?

Before we can answer this question, we have to be precise about the language and clarify which female orgasm we are talking about. Namely, it turns out, unlike men, women can have many forms of orgasms. They are usually classified as vaginal, clitoral and blended orgasms, which the combination of the two. Now let’s just make clear that in the context of biological purpose and while discussing the mechanics of an orgasm, we are only talking about the vaginal orgasm.

Now, what most people do seem to know is that during an orgasm women experience contractions and those can occur multiple times, and this is where most information sources that I reviewed except for one stopped.

But so what? How could cramping or contractions be useful to maximize fertility? Sometimes my upper lip also contracts and cramps with no apparent purpose.

It turns out that the same day that The New York Times published the article claiming no purpose or putting forth some quasi-evolutionary fallacy argument that if a woman experiences more orgasms with a certain man they are more likely to stay with them as a couple would be good for procreation. That is true, but it is a very roundabout, hardly satisfying answer. In science, these are called second or third-order factors which often have no impact. So what is the first-order factor?

Four Scientists and a Camera

As I was sitting down in my living room and flipping through various TV channels, I accidentally stopped at the Discovery Channel and lo and behold what did my young eyes see. The scientific documentary featured scientists in white robes inserting a miniature camera into the female vagina during the orgasm and the camera revealed the elusive truth that so many had been pursuing for years. What the camera showed was a female uterus jumping forward like a vacuum pump and sucking up the semen from vagina.

Mystical Force

This truth also had a very personal meaning for me. When I was a very, very young man, it so happened that over the years I had more than one sexual experience and even more than partner In certain cases, perhaps one third of the time, I felt that during intercourse an even more powerful force coming from inside the woman was pumping against me with a tremendous, mystical force. And for years, I had been wondering the origin of this mystical force. What is more, I believe that most men who have experienced this type of powerful head-on collision would agree that the Mystical Force also produces them immense pleasure.

By the way, when I tell this part of the story at a dinner party, people’s expressions are priceless. A good percentage of men express a light smile and revel in distant memories thinking about their ex-girlfriends or wives or more exotic adventures, whereas most women look befuddled at best.

Finally, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out how this type of sucking vacuum movement would maximize semen uptake and pregnancy. In fact, medical literature on fertility reveals that if there is no orgasm, only 1% of the sperm make it inside the uterus, whereas if there is an orgasm as much as 5% semen make it to their destination. This is a significant difference since it improves the chances of becoming pregnant five times.

“Manuchito”

A few weeks after learning this secret truth, I was in Manhattan taking car service and to kill some time, I told the driver, who was from the Dominican Republic, my story. When I finished, I asked the driver whether he had ever felt this magical force.

He turned around, smiled and said: “Of course, it happens all the time with our women, we even have a word for this – “manuchito”. This reminded me of the fact that Eskimos purportedly have 14 words for “snow”, and if I were not married, I would start booking my ticket for the next flight to the Dominican Republic.

How to sleep better

Steps
Get on schedule. Varying your sleeping times by more than an hour can severely disrupt your sleep quality by "advancing the sleep phase". For example, let's say you normally wake up at 7 a.m. on weekdays to get to work, so youget to bed around 11 p.m. because that's when you start to feel sleepy, and it's also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep .If on the weekend you sleep in until 9 a.m., you probably won't be able to fall asleep that night until 1 a.m. Then, you probably won't want to wake up the next morning until 10 a.m., in which case it will start getting very difficult to fall asleep at 11 p.m. again. In other words, your body thrives on running on a routine; erratic sleeping sessions will interfere with your internal "biological clock."

Sleep on an empty stomach. Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion doesn't work well while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. Do not eat heavy foods for the few hours prior to sleep. Switch to decaf coffee and avoid tea cocoa and cola drinks, because caffeine can keep you awake even if you drank it earlier in the day as the effect of caffeine lasts for about 8 hours. Avoid tobacco products in evenings as well. While alcohol will make you feel sleepy, it will reduce sleep quality. If you find your stomach grumbling for contents and keeping you awake, have a light snack about an hour before bedtime. Stick to milk, turkey and peanuts which all contain chemicals that help the brain relax
Keep the room dark. Exposure to light during the time you're supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body's internal cycles. This has been documented in studies surrounding circadian rhythms. Turn your light off, or use a very dim night light. Pull curtains across, blinds down or shut the shutters, to prevent outdoor lights from shining on you. If you wake up and see any kind of bright light, you'll have a much harder time falling back asleep. Try to eliminate all sources of light, including from windows, LED clocks and cable boxes, by covering them with heavy paper or cloth covers, or blue tack.
Change your sleeping position. You may think that it's impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren't fully aware of what your doing, but it is possible and can make a big difference. When you go to sleep, or when you wake up in the middle of the night, make a conscious effort to follow these guidelines until it becomes habitual:
Keep your body in a "mid-line" position, where both your head and neck are kept roughly straight. Don't use a flat pillow that causes your head to tilt down towards the mattress. Likewise, don't stack your pillows so that your head is propped at an angle.

Place a pillow between your legs if you sleep on your side. This will support your hips and make this position more comfortable plus it feels good!

Place a pillow under your legs if you sleep on your back to take stress off your lower back.

Avoid sleeping on your stomach. It's difficult to maintain the mid-line position, and it is more likely to cause aches and pains. If you must, bend one arm upwards and place it under your pillow. This will help alleviate stress on your back and neck by slightly propping up your body on one side.

Maintain your matressTurn the mattress over every few months. Replace it after 5-7 years of regular use. If you feel springs or ridges beneath the surface when you're lying on the bed, or you and your partner roll to the middle of the bed unintentionally, it's time to go mattress shopping. You can also tell that the mattress may be the culprit if you find yourself sleeping well in another bed.

Exercise If you have a sedentary job, a lack of physical exertion may be reducing the quality of your sleep. The human body uses sleep to repair and recover. If there isn't much to recover from, your body's sleep cycle could be disrupted. A day of physical exertion (such as taking a run or a swim) or, better yet, regular exercise can make for deeper and more restful sleep.
Make note of unusual circumstances. If you are not sleeping well, there could be many reasons for it, such as stress, certain illnesses, or maybe something you heard or saw which traumatized you. Is there any recent event or change in circumstances that has been troubling or preoccupying you? This issue may be following you subconsciously and interfering with your sleep. If the issue itself cannot be addressed or resolved directly, consider employing relaxation tehniques such as meditation.
Visit your doctor. If you are concerned that you may have a sleep disorder, tell your doctor. Some of the most common sleep disorders areinsomnia OSA , restless legs syndrome (RLS), narcolepsy, parasomnias, and even heartburn (acid reflux). If you are indeed suffering from and diagnosed with any of these conditions, your doctor will recommend treatment accordingly.

Tips
Don'tgo for nap any more than 15-20 minutes per day. It can throw off your sleep cycle and make it harder for you to get good sleep at night.
Try not wearing socks for an hour before you go to bed and putting them on right before you go to sleep - the shock of warmness and comfort helps some sleep.
Wear appropriate clothing in relation to the weather. Don't forget your feet- cold feet can keep you awake! Keeps sweatshirt or an extra blanchet right next to the bed, just in case you get too cold at night.
Avoid leaving your TV or music on overnight. If you need it to fall asleep, use the timer feature to make sure it turns off by the time you usually fall asleep.
Close your eyes! It may sound obvious, but when staring at the ceiling (or whatever else) it is hard to fall asleep.
If you can't fall asleep within the first 40 minutes of going to bed, get up and do something else until you feel sleepy. Lying in bed awake for long periods of time will cause you to associate your bed with not sleeping.
You may try using a particular ritual before you go to bed that will make you sleepy. For example, taking a warm bath, reading a relaxing or even dull book or drinking a glass of warm milk. Also, the scent of lavender will calm you down and may make you feel a little sleepy. If you have lavender scented body splash or perfume, you can try scenting your pillow with it.
Too hot? Learn how to sleep confortably over night.
Try taking a cool shower before going to bed. You wash off a good deal of what might make you itchy, especially if you've been outdoors and have a bug bite or two.
Keep bedroom clutter to a minimum so the last thing you see at night is your bed, not all the little things that need to be taken care of.
If you don't fall asleep quickly, don't lie there "trying" to go to sleep -- just tell yourself you'll rest for a while. When you stop trying, you just might fall asleep.
People with Attention Deficit Disorder (with or without Hyperactivity) sometimes find that stimulants (caffeine) calm them and help them sleep. You may know someone who makes a pot of coffee just before bedtime.
Here is how you can find the optimal thickness for a pillow: Stand comfortably with your back against a wall. The distance between the wall and your head is the ideal compressed pillow thickness.
Kill the Noise. Having distracting noises that startle you can spike your heart rate. Find a quiet place to sleep.
Try to sleep with a window open to have some fresh air come in on a cool night helps me sleep very well.
If you are struggling to sleep due to changes in your sleep cycle, take one dose of Melatonin before you go to sleep. Continue this routine for a few days, or as instructed on the back of the medicine bottle. If you still cannot establish a regular sleep cycle after taking Melatonin, do not continue to take Melatonin. Seek advice from a Pharmacist or Physician about your irregular sleeping habits.

Warnings
Do not become dependent on sleep medication (even over the counter) as they can become addictive, and you may not be able to go to sleep without them. Also, the medication can have side effects in which you fall asleep during the day and can reduce sleep quality.
Do not keep noisy animals in the same room where you sleep.
Try not to fall asleep with the TV on as it trains your body to need the noise in order to fall asleep. If you wake up in the middle of the night and it's quiet you may have trouble getting back to sleep.

How to fall asleep fast everytime

Your mind is racing and you can't seem to get it to stop, but you don't want to become addicted to those sleeping pills they are always talking about, so how do you cope? Not being able to fall asleep is a problem that we all face from time to time. Here are some simple home solutions to help you fall asleep at night.
Steps
Practice good "sleep hygiene". Get yourself ready for sleep by relaxing a few hours before bedtime -- take a warm bath, drink some warm milk or herbal tea (decaf only). You should also sniff lavender. Drinking a glass of warm milk (with a teaspoon of honey if you'd like) before bed is a traditional solution for falling asleep. Just be sure to brush your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste before bed-- the sugar in milk and honey can cause tooth decay, especially if your mouth dries out at night. Try a two-week regimen to get your body into the habit. Make notes if you discover patterns of sleep or going to bed that work. For some people, sleep can be highly ritualistic...cultivate the rituals that produce your best sleep experiences. (If you don't like the taste of plain warm milk, try it by making hot chocolate with warm milk instead of water)
Make sure you have a comfortable bed in which you can get a good night's sleep. Buy a decent mattress. A mattress is worth more than you think, considering you use it every night, so don't hold back! If you're too hot or cold, add or remove blankets until comfortable. Adjust the temperature so it is cooler than usual, but not too cold. Make sure to stock up on blankets if you do this.
Read. Reading will help the mind focus on only one thing, instead of racing about the day's activities. Make it something calming rather than an exciting thriller novel. Fairy tales or nonfiction would be good choices. If you do read, it is recommended that you read with a low light on. This way your eyes will get used to the darkness and it makes it easier to fall asleep.
Adjust the lights to a level you are comfortable with. For optimal results, a pitch black room with no lights helps you sleep better through the night. If you have an alarm clock that is lighting up half the room as you try to sleep, turn it around or turn it off. Most cell phones have an alarm on them, so you can use that instead of a bright, bulky alarm clock. If you must have mild illumination in your bedroom (e.g. glowing face of digital clock, night light), remember that red wavelengths of light generally are not as disruptive to sleep cycles as blue or green wavelengths. If you need to sleep during the day, use eye covers.
Get into a comfortable position, loosen any tight restrictive clothing. Position yourself comfortably on your back in bed, with your arms by your side. If you are uncomfortable with any way your body feels on the bed, correct it immediately, e.g., your body's weight on your arm is too strong, or your hip feels awkward--change position quickly until you're completely comfortable.
Practice deep breathing. If you're having trouble trying to sleep, try a deep breathing exercise. For example, lie on your back in bed and breath in deeply for three counts, watching your stomach rise, and then breathe out for three counts. Do this for about ten minutes and then switch so you're lying on your right, and repeat the breathing process. Another way to go about doing it is:
Take a deep breath, hold it for as long as you can and then let it all the way out. Force all the air out as you relax. Repeat.
Start breathing normally, relax and feel the air entering your lungs.
Focus your attention on the air coming in, and pay attention when it changes direction, and as you exhale.
Close your eyes, count each breath as you inhale and then relax as you exhale all the bad toxins out of your system. Most people will fall asleep before they reach the count of 20.
Pray or meditate. Whatever is on your mind is probably there for a reason. When you pray, talk to the deity of your choice about what is racing through your mind, and give the situation over to that deity. If meditating, visualize yourself addressing your thoughts and resolving them. Or, meditate on a calming word or phrase. As you do so, it helps you to lower your heart rate and relax your muscles, making it easier for you to lay down and fall asleep. Many times this will work because you no longer have that burden on your mind and you can relax enough to fall asleep.
Consider over-the-counter drugs.
There is an over-the-counter drug called melatonin that can help. (Note: Melatonin is a hormone and has a larger role than sleep initiation. A reduction in melatonin levels causes the body to initiate puberty, if melatonin levels stay high puberty will be delayed. It is not for use by children, teenagers, or pregnant or lactating women. If you have any disorder at all or are on medication consult a physician before taking melatonin.) Melatonin may help you fall asleep if you take it at the same time each day before you go to sleep. As we age, melatonin levels decrease so melatonin may be more helpful from an age related perspective. Some people may find taking melatonin in a "staged" manner helpful: take half a melatonin tablet before going to bed, and the remaining half if you awaken in the middle of the night.
Valerian, an over the counter herbal, may also be considered. Valerian has mild sedative effects and is generally safe for most people and appears not to cause grogginess upon awakening. However, some herbal literature indicates that if used for a period longer than about a week, the herb can have the opposite effects. Other herbal sleep/ relaxant aids to consider are: Lemon Balm, Chamomile, Hops, and Kava Kava. Talk with someone who has experience with these herbs or do some research.
Unisom is highly effective (and non-addictive), just make sure you have a full eight hours to sleep. Unisom and Sominex have the same active ingredient as Benadryl, but Benadryl (an antihistamine)is cheaper (especially generic). While Benadryl isn't addictive, it can slow you down the next morning by making you feel groggy-headed. Look for natural sleep aids sold in health-food stores before trying Unisom.
Count as high as you can. This makes your mind focus on one easy thing.
Think of something you like. This makes you calm. This also gets your mind away from distractions of life. You may also have a good dream.
Start the habit of using your bed only for sleeping. Do not read, play video games, etc. because then your body will be used to doing those things while in bed and make you more awake.
Get a picture of sheep on a field. The picture must contain as many sheep as possible. Try counting all of the sheep in a dim light.
Another way to fall asleep is to sing a song in your head. Pick a song that you know very well and sing all of the lyrics in your head. If that doesn't work, act like you are typing the lyrics on an imaginary keyboard. Or, if you know sign language, you can sign all of the lyrics. The song I always use is the extended version of "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air". It's easy to remember and easy to fall asleep to. Pick a song that you know every word to and you are familiar with.
Another way to fall asleep is to think about a story in your head. Make it light and happy like a fairy tale, you can make it up. (Suggested) and what really helps is to picture the story in your mind. This may or may not help but do try it if you are having trouble falling to sleep.
Wake up in the middle of the night? Every time you wake up. I suggest reading three to five pages of a good book every time you wake. You should breethe using the exercises. Think of happy thoughts or count to 30 with your eyes closed, re-think about one of your favorite T.V show scenes, eyes still closed.

Tips
Count. As high as you can. Try not to think at all while you do this. You mind will get bored and fall asleep.
Picture a water fall. It is very calming and you will fall asleep quickly.
Pretend that you are floating on a river. Look up and see the blue sky and feel the water below you.
Imagine your perfect room. What would it look like? What color is it? What's in it? Imagine yourself lying in it. Why is it so relaxing to you? Imagining yourself in this perfect room focuses your mind on relaxation.[A sleep therapist introduced this technique to me.]
As much as you can, try to stay in bed with your eyes closed, even if you are not actually sleeping. You will drift in-and-out of sleep even if you do not realize it. As a result, you will be more relaxed in the long run.
Relax by imagining a wave of comfort start from your feet and slowly work this 'wave' up your body. The process should take about 10 minutes.
Do pranayama like 'Anulom-Vilom' i.e. take a deep breath with one nostril closed and exhale with the one which was closed during the inhalation, however during this time close the other nostril.Repeat the same with other nostril. Do this 60 times (at least 15 minutes) and you will feel very relaxed.
Starting from the very tips of your toes, imagine yourself sinking into the mattress. In your mind, begin to "acknowledge" everything around you that all your senses are experiencing. For example: Say to yourself (not out loud), "I hear the clock ticking. I smell the lotion I just applied to my hands. I feel my legs' weight on the bed. I hear my spouse/partner breathing. I see different shades of black. I hear the dog barking in the distance. I hear myself in my own mind talking.", etc. This should help to clear your mind by slowly acknowledging everything and subsequently dismissing it. Stay on your back, sunk into the mattress until you feel it is time to roll into your desired position.
Other foods that will help you fall asleep are: Cheese, Mustard, Pickles, Lettuce, Turkey. They have natural chemicals that work with your brain to send a 'calm' message over your body.
Some people believe that eating protein-enriched foods as a snack will help slow the mind so it can focus on sleeping. So a small pack of nuts or trail mix would be helpful.
Many people find tryptophan (available in health food stores) to be a safe and reasonably effective sleep aid, probably due to its ability to increase brain levels of serotonin and/or melatonin
You can also pick up a dreaming CD from various websites. If you plan on listening to music while you sleep, you can also try listening to the softer songs of your favorite band. If you have trouble blocking out sounds around you (especially in an apartment building) then wear a set of earbud headphones to bed with some language tapes running. Listening to the language tapes provides you with a soothing voice that is talking in a very mellow tone and has the bonus of reinforcing your knowledge of the language while you sleep.
Do mathematical calculations in your mind, for example, think of two or three digit numbers and add them up in your mind.
A messy room will distract most people, and it can make you feel uncomfortable. If you have time, consider cleaning your room before trying to get to bed. Having a clean room can be calming when trying to fall asleep.
Lavender is well known for its sleep inducing qualities. Try a lavender neck pillow,or a few drops of essential oil on your pillow slip.
Exercise during the late afternoon. Go for a jog or to the gym. The aftereffects of the chemicals in your body released during the workout will get you through the evening. It's much easier to fall asleep if you've done something active since it's much easier to go to sleep when you're exhausted or tired than just sitting at home with all your energy from food you ate.
If you have noisy neighbors, consider buying a white noise machine, or leaving the fan on in the bathroom to drown out the irregular beats of their music, televisions, late night arguments, etc. If that doesn't work, don't underestimate the power of earplugs... Just make sure you can still hear your alarm!
Sometimes, it's easier to go to sleep with some lights on if you wear a sleeping mask.
Tense all your leg muscles. Inhale slowly. Relax and exhale slowly. Repeat about seven times.
Do not watch t.v. to help you go to sleep. The lights and the noise can make you stay awake for an hour or more.
Do not exercise before going to bed. This will get your adrenaline going, your heart pumping, and speed up your respiratory system. Those things will make it very hard to fall asleep.
The most important part of your body that should be relaxed (and the one that almost everyone overlooks) is your tongue. When you notice it, you'll find that it is invariably plastered against the roof of your mouth or up against your front teeth. Make a conscious effort to relax your tongue, jaw, and face along with the rest of your body. You'll be surprised how quickly you fall asleep!
Some people with an over-active mind when falling asleep may find it easier to think up of a story to play over in your mind. This distracts the sleeper enough to fall asleep quickly.
Sleep is just a lowered state of consciousness. Get to that state faster by not thinking. The easiest way to do this is to focus on the color black you "see" when you close your eyes. Deflect any other thought that arrives, as it will hinder your ability to focus on black. It is a difficult task initially, but if you can stick to it, you'll be asleep within 2-3 minutes.
Listen to an audio tape very quietly or just loud enough for you to catch words or hear what is going on.
Picture your ideal fantasy and try to play it out in your head.
Be sure you have closed your eyes. Research has proven that if you don't close your eyes, it would be more difficult for you to fall asleep.
Eat a banana or two before bed. The magnesium in the banana will help your muscles to relax.
Cover up the display or turn around an alarm clock, so you lose the perception of time. If you can't sleep and you see the hours going by, it can stress you out by thinking that you have to sleep ASAP.
Try a number of things until you figure out what works.

Warnings
If you have any questions or concerns, contact a physician or other health care professional before engaging in any activity related to health and diet. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
If you are reading this, it is very likely it is late at night and you can't fall asleep. After you read this, go immediatly to sleep, or if you absolutely cannot fall asleep, (if possible) turn the brightness of your computer down. Most labtops have this setting.
Making your bed every morning will aid in not having to fight with your blanket every night.
Don't force sleep. Don't think "must sleep, or I'm going to be a wreck tomorrow". While that may be true, worrying about it is not going to make you sleep. Concentrate on something else. Also, if you can't fall asleep after about 15 minutes, get up and do something quiet and relaxing until you feel sleepy.
Don't strain your eyes by trying to read or count in light that is too dim. It has been proven that this cannot actually cause permanent damage to ones eyes, but it can make them sore for the time being, and pain will more than likely give you one more thing to think about.
Do NOT get on the internet late at night if you can't sleep - this will only make you more awake.

Things You'll Need

Comfortable mattress
A relaxed mind
A fluffy pillow
Eyes to close
Sleeping mask (optional)
A quiet environment
A blanket
Pajamas
Steady sound if other noise is present

How to buy condoms discreetly

Every sexually active person has been in the awkward situation of buying condoms in their local drugstore. Here's how to do it without getting stage-fright.
Steps
Figure out what type of condom you are going to purchase before beginning your mission. don't be shy in preparing yourself before going to the store.
Approach the store nonchalantly, perhaps in a group of friends. Be casual and act as if it is regular and not out of place for you to be buying a condom. Have your research finished before you get into the store.
Walk discreetly up to the condom shelves. Grab what you are looking for and walk calmly to the checkout counter.
While not necessary, you might feel more comfortable if you buy a few more things so you are not standing at the counter with nothing but a box of condoms.
Tie a knot aruond the top of the bag with the handles so if you drop the bag the contents won't go flying out.
Tips
Stores with self-checkout systems are handy to use to buy condoms discreetly.
Thanks to the fantastic age we live in, you can now buy condoms online, and not have to go through this whole ordeal, if you should so choose to do so. The advantages to taking this route is that generally you have more choice, can browse without feeling antsy, and online stores can have much better prices than the local convenience store.
Store the condoms in a cool, dry place, not in a wallet!
You can get condoms at teen clinics for free.
Size is something some people need to worry about. Sure condoms can stretch over an entire arm, but it can still be uncomfortable and even hurt in the wrong place at the wrong time. Think about it.
It may be helpful to take a few minutes to ask yourself why you are so nervous. While many personal purchases can be a little blush-worthy, no one should be ashamed of taking care of themselves. Are you worried that you seem too young? If you are getting into something that you are not ready for, then don't. Are you worried about your parents or friends seeing you? Why? Do a little soul searching to see if these fears hold any water. If there is a legitimate reason for shame, then maybe you shouldnt be buying them. If there is no legitimate reason for shame, then why the discomfort? Someone who is mature enough to have sex really needs to be mature enough to take whatever steps are necessary to care for their health.
Extra ribbing sometimes doesn't do much at all. Don't let marketing hype sell you on something thats a cheap plastic, and feels like saran wrap. Try several different varieties until you find one that fits and works well.
If you're mature enough to have sex, then you are mature enough to get an STD or pregnant. Teens are the highest demographic on both. If you can't handle being pressured to get an abortion, or you can't handle an incurable disease and a 10 year lifespan then make sure you see the documentation for your partner being tested before you start exchanging bodily fluids. The only 100% guaranteed protection is abstinence.
Warnings
Make sure to use the right lubricants - water-based, not oil-based, or they can damage the condom.
Don't brag to your girlfriend/boyfriend that you have a box of condoms, it seems incredibly pathetic.
Make sure not to buy flavored condoms for vaginal or anal sex. They can cause irritation and the powder tends to spread, and you smell weird for days afterwards.
Normal intercourse with normal condoms still smells strange.
Many condoms are coated with a spermicide called nonoxynol-9. It increases the efficacy of birth control, but also tends to cause yeast infections. Be aware of this if you start to experience discomfort - you may need to switch to a brand without the chemical.
Some stores keep their condoms behind a counter. Go for the right reason. If you are a paranoid teen worrying about his first condom purchase, go to where you can feel comfortable. If you are a married adult, and you are managing pregnancy and will be for a while, don't be afraid to go to where you can buy a larger box.
Make sure to check the "best before" date before you buy and/or use the condoms.
If you live in a small town where EVERYone knows your parents, get your friends to buy them for you. :)
