Hot Debate: Is It Better To Be A Man Or A Woman?

They say it’s better to be a man than a woman. It’s so bloody true. There’s so many reasons to support this argument and all are perfectly valid too:

1. Men Can Piss Standing Up

This a a bloody good thing if you really think about it. Just unzip and piss whenever and wherever you want with absolutely no mess. Well, at the end there might be that little shake off but that’s nothing compared to undressing a quarter of the way, wiping the toilet seat off before using it. It’s a whole ritual men don’t need to do. And don’t even get me started on women pissing outside - it’s quite a mess!

2. Most Men Do Not Need To Wear Make-up

This is another obvious advantage of being a man. It saves us an awful lot of time to spruce ourselves up to prepare ourselves for the world’s viewing. It also saves us tonnes and tonnes of make-up money. Of course some men do wear make-up but it takes an extraordinary kind of man for that.

3. Men Are More Efficient With Clothes and Shoes

This is linked to reason #2 above. We don’t need all the time in the world to get dressed. We just need our pants, jeans, a nice t-shirt, socks and trainers. No fancy clothes, no time wasted arguing about which matches what and most of all no big decisions. All we have to do is toss it and go! It also saves us loads of our beer money.

4. Men Are Taller

This one is quite simple really. We can reach loads more things higher up, like in shops with higher shelves. While it’s true there are taller women like in Germany or Holland where women average 5′8″. But anybody will tell you that no women can jump …. as high as men!

5. Men Are Stronger

This is so true. Men are generally physically and, usually, mentally stronger than women. We can lift stuff they can’t and do all those nifty things such as open jars easily. Of course there are a couple of women that are as strong as or even stronger than men but they are an extremely rare breed indeed.

6. Men Do Not Worry About Their Looks

Men don’t stare at themselves in mirrors for ages just to spot a pimple or wrinkle. We don’t have to worry about getting old either. When women hit thirty, they whine about their age and start lying. Not us men! We answer without a thought when asked about our age. We men also don’t sit about worrying if our bums are too big and we can even talk to other men and joke about it hahaha.

7. Men Are Better Cooks

Contrary to the popular belief that women are better cooks than men, who’s the best, biggest and most famous chefs? Men! We’ve got Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver, that greasy-haired French bastard and many more. Women are trying to catch up with Nigella Lawson but cooking is still largely a man’s world.

8. Men Have Fewer Orgasms

Hang on, I know women are asking ‘how is this an advantage?’. Simple! We have one, or rarely two, orgasms and we’re spent! Sex is finished and we’re back to work. Women have one orgasm and keep wanting more, more and more. They also want to cuddle afterwards. In my book, it’s a complete waste of time. We just sort it out and forget it. Twenty minutes and we can do other productive things for the rest of the day.

9. Men Do Not Have Periods

This is one of the biggest reasons why being a man is so much better. Men don’t get extra wacky 3 or more days per month and get headaches, cramps or fits of frustration without reason. Men also don’t need to buy stupid tampons or any of those disgusting things specifically designated as hygiene products.

10. Men Do Not Get Pregnant

This is the number ONE advantage of being a man. We do not get pregnant! Wooooohooo! Yes mate, enough said, let’s get a pint!

Is it better to be a woman than a man? Absobloodylutely! In response to Mr Blue’s argument, here’s my reasons to disprove all his illusory comments.

1. Women Piss Sitting Down

You might ask how this is an advantage. Really simple. Women get to relax for 5 or 10 minutes and sit down while they pee. Men usually have to stand. It’s highly unfair, I’m telling you. Not fair!

2. Women Are Way Easier on the Eye

Hardly anybody, male or female, will disagree with this. Women have much nicer curves and no ghastly, unwanted, cylindrical appendage protruding from the body. We’ve just got one sleek, aerodynamic curve. Women have got nicer legs and their butts are far from hairy too!

3. Women Are Shorter

This is so good because women ain’t got as far to bend down just to reach the floor. As a result, we can better spot loose change on the ground. We can also do the sexy limbo dance better. And don’t forget those shorter doorways. Yes, women are so bloody lucky!

4. Women Are Weaker

Now I assume most of you might be confounded by this one. The logic is rather simple. Because women are weaker than men, guess who is made to do all the heavy lifting and body-breaking work? Men of course! Why do women live longer? Because women use their apparent weakness as a perfect excuse to let stupid men do the physically intensive labour. See how lucky and clever women are!

5. Women Wear Make-up

Women get to buy loads of lovely make-up and accessories. It’s so much fun using all those nifty gadgets. Make-up also makes women feel pretty, oh so pretty! Ok, enough of that!

6. Women Need Expensive Fashion

This is a major advantage. It’s possible for women to change their outfits more than 10 Mr Potato sets and 30 accessory gift sets combined. Did you know Einstein had 10 identical suits so he wouldn’t have to choose? Confucius even said, “more choices are better!” and everyone just couldn’t agree much more!

7. Women Have More Orgasms

Hmmm, enough said!

8. Women Cook More

While men might be better chefs, far more women cook at home, where they ain’t working. Women let their male counterparts be the cooks at work because it’s WORK, while they’re master of their domain i.e. the kitchen at home. Women are a street better at it and let’s face it; men can never live on pot noodles, steaks or hot dogs alone!

9. Women Have Periods

This is simply amazing! Women have a perfect excuse to be themselves three days per month. During this time, they are allowed to be angry, moody or anything they want to be and everyone will just back off. When men do this, they’re labelled grumpy or crazy!

10. Women Can Be Bisexual

This is a bloody wicked one. I’ve heard somewhere that over 70% of women are bisexual. This is a great advantage over men! Men caught looking at other men’s bums are often singled out but women can stare at other women’s or men’s bums without anybody giving it a single thought. Also, women can be cruder without it being labeled sexual harassment. After all, our society doesn’t shun 2 women together as much as it does to men.

10 Ways to Heal Your Broken Heart

It’s like there’s no tomorrow, you feel you wouldn’t be happy again, you are terribly stuck with the awful moments when your heart was deeply wounded like it’s the end of the world and they keep haunting you day after day. However, it’s your choice to either be the same person you used to be or perpetually be plunged into the thought of the one you love the most but she never knows or even cares. There is a saying ‘Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional’. Here we list the 10 best ways to heal your broken heart, make your choice and cheer up mates!

1. Dating someone new

Someone says it’s somewhat unfair on a new girl if you go for a new date right after a broken heart, so you’ve got to be sure you have a bit of a crush on her or at least feel she’s special to you. When you’re dating the new one, you’ve got her to talk to and this can stop your mind wandering around. The date will light up your life, she makes your heart pulse and you are being revitalised.

2. You’re too precious

You’d better praise yourself for being too precious for that kind of girl. She just doesn’t deserve a great man like you and you both were totally mismatched. As she neither valued you nor treasured your love, do not waste your time mourning. Keep your head held up high and you will completely get through this suffering and pain. There’s a priceless saying which I came across on the internet “If you can’t save the relationship, at least save your pride.”

3. Keep yourself busy

Find something to do, keep yourself busy with it and you will have no chance of being obsessed with your ex. You might join the college activities, sports club, shopping or anything you find interesting. Despite the fact that you can bit by bit take your mind out of her, you’ve got an opportunity to meet new people and a new partner who will always realise how important you are to her.

4. Let the tears out

Sob for a while till you run out tears and then start a new life - the life without grief, tear and her! It’s not that easy to ward off the horrible sadness, you just need some time and powerful encouragement. ‘Time can heal a broken heart’ You might be fed up with this saying but it’s the truth through and through. Time waits for no man, but there’s still time for a broken heart. Good luck and have a good cry.

5. Think positive

When love gets you down, think positive! Some might not take it seriously but positive thinking is so powerful that you can be hauled up from despair. After a broken heart, do not torture yourself by any negative thinking as you should be well aware that you’ve gained a good experienced in relationships, strength to live your life and believe that those bad things never to be repeated.

6. Seek counseling

You should find someone to help you get through it, it could be friends, family or anyone you trust and they are willing to lift a large burden from your shoulders, at least by being a good listener. Never spend your day on your own thinking what went wrong, it won’t do any good as you might have not done anything wrong but a girl’s heart is a deep ocean of thoughts which are too hard to comprehend.

7. Never think about getting revenge

You’ve got to move on so do not try to get even with the one who broke your heart, it will only make things worse - you still think of her in an extremely depressive moment, creating the best way to ruin her life. If the plans fail, you’ll be the one who are still stuck with the unpleasant past while she’s being happy, dating a new man. So, let bygones be bygones, you both are just not made for each other.

8. Think of the bad moments with your ex

I’m sure you have quite a few of terrible moments and experiences with your ex and yes that’s great! The best way to forget someone is to try to think about their bad things and the bad moments with them. When you’re doing this, you’re not blaming her or anything. On the contrary, you are just trying to get her out of your mind by not thinking how happy you used to be with her. Those are the miserable yesterdays which will uselessly have you occupied with your ex forever.

9. Your case is not the worst

It’s not the end of the world. You won’t die with a broken heart! Try to think your case is not the worst one, there are many people who drastically suffer and their cases are way worse than yours. Your broken heart is noting compared with those who lost their loved ones for good in accidents, wars and natural disasters.

10. Try to get more Endorphins

Endorphin is a chemical substance which is naturally released in the brain to reduce pain and increase the sense of well-being. Chocolate and sweets are good sources of the endorphin. This way might sound a bit funny but it’s worth trying, isn’t it?

Guide to MP3 Players

Several types of MP3 players exist and each has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Broadly speaking, MP3 players fall into three types: memory flash players, hard-drive players and finally multimedia players. Depending on specific requirements, an MP3 player with integrated memory might be better suited than a hard-drive MP3 player and vice-versa. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the best MP3 player for you!

Beginner - memory flash players

This type of players includes those with integrated memory, separate memory and USB drive players respectively. These players are the most affordable and also the smallest in size. And with relatively few moving parts, they are hardly affected if used while sporting.

Typically speaking, these MP3 players can store between 20 to 120 tracks of CD quality audio. New players vary from 64M up to about 1GB in capacity. They’re also extremely easy to use and you can transfer files to and from your PC and the player without difficulty.

As such these players are ideal for everyday listening, for use in the gym or even as an affordable introduction to MP3 players. Styles do also vary, from discrete, tiny devices to more elegant and futuristic designs.

Intermediate - Hard drive players

This type of MP3 player is ideal if you want to carry your whole music library around. Hard drive MP3 players store between 1,000 to 20,000 tracks depending on their capacity, varying from about 2GB to over 80GB. These devices are normally pocket sized and usually equipped with the very same basic functions as their simpler integrated memory counterparts. The biggest selling point of these hard driver players is of course their large storage capacity.

Hard disk MP3 players usually have small screens to display track and artist details, and user friendly menu systems for easy navigation between tunes. Higher end colour screen models can display stored images. Some players can even download photos onto their hard drive from digital camera memory cards for viewing pleasure, without the need to use a computer as an intermediary.

These devices are a true portable MP3 jukebox capable of storing multiple tunes and albums in a single and compact player. Quite a few users link their players up to compatible car radios or buy an add-on speaker which then transforms them into mobile hi-fi systems.

Advanced - Multimedia Players

Multimedia MP3 players use larger hard drives and as a result are physically heavier and bigger than other MP3 players. This extra capacity and size is there to accommodate a larger colour screen for the viewing of photos and their video playback capabilities. Such a feature makes viewing your favourite films, the latest MVs or your holiday video a possibility. Music, photos and videos are all accessible from a single device.

More advanced models have a similar feature set to a pocket PC or PDA thanks to their compatible operating system as well as application support. Others have integrated video inputs and even support real time encoding, which makes them a potential VHS recorder replacement. These media players are in fact more than just an MP3 player.

10 Natural Remedies For A Good Night Sleep

We all know that sleeping is necessary but it doesn’t count when you’re napping in between your lunch break or drowsing off at 2 p.m. in the afternoon. If your regular night includes you, television, and wine, at 3 a.m. then it’s time to practice these natural remedies for a good night sleep.

1. Clean and Cool

Take a second and look around your bed room, do you see dirty sheets, laundry lying around, empty coffee cups on your bedside, if you do, then it’s time for a big change because that might be the reason you’re having trouble sleeping. Keep your room neat, your bed sheets new. “Don’t overheat your environment. Sleep loves cold. Keep your bedroom cold but load up on blankets,” says Dr. Michael Perlis, an Insomnia expert at the University of Rochester.

2. Create a Routine

Develop a schedule, set the time to sleep and wake up, it may be quite difficult in the beginning but nothing is impossible so stick to the schedule even during the weekends! After a while, your biological clock would work automatically making it easier for you to sleep, not to mention the fact that you’ll be sleeping right at your time right on the dot and wake up without the help from Mr. Annoying Alarm C(l)ock.

3. To Do in Bed

If you happen to be reading this article on your laptop in your bed with the TV on, then it’s time to get up and move to your study corner. Your bed is sanctuary with two sole purposes, sleep and sex, so if you’re in your bed doing other things like eating, lying awake thinking about how you’re not sleeping, or you’re looking at tomorrow’s stocks, change your habit, go find a light rather boring activities to do, like maybe sit on a couch and watch History channel.

4. Sweat It

Do light exercises, whether it’s jogging at the near by park in the morning, or a 30-minute spin class before going to work, these exercises can surely help wake you up and make you sleep easier. You might also want to try some Yoga, the postures that are good for sleeping includes Downward Dog position and Child Pose. Don’t be all active and exercise at night, try to avoid exercising for at least 3 hours before bed time.

5. Scent and Sleep

Nothing is better for a good night sleep than a room that is lightly scented, especially when it comes from aroma oils. If you’re worried that people might question your sexuality just because you happen to have an oil burner, lose that thought, most women find it kind of sexy. Why not go oil shopping, specifically, lavender, chamomile, basil, or Rosalina, the choice is yours. Not only is aromatherapy good for sleep but it also helps reduces stress and create romantic environment.

6. Bumble Sleep

Practicing breathing techniques is one of the most effective natural remedies for a better sleep. Try to breathe with your abdomen not the chest, when you breathe in your abdomen should bloat and when you breathe out suck your stomach in, continue the exercise for at least 5-10 minutes. You can also try the Bee breathing technique. Sit up straight, close your ears with the index fingers, breathe in through your nose, and make a humming sound when you breathe out.

7. Check Your Diet

Yes, your diet does affect your sleep so it’s probably a wise thing for you to start watching what you eat. Avoid having heavy meals before bed time, especially if those meals are fatty or spicy. If you have a plan to sip a cup of coffee tonight, switch it to warm milk instead, caffeine will make it hard for you to fall asleep. Don’t go to bed hungry either, have a toast or something light, now that calls a good night sleep.

8. Stress Free Zone

You’ve got a million things running in your mind, coming up with a striking pitch for your very difficult client, or unfinished project that’s on your mind, why not list it down. Stress is one of the factors that disrupt sleep; therefore, handling your stress would surely make you have an easier time getting the sleep you need. Write out what you need to do, when you need to do it, and you can actually do when you’re feeling fresh the next morning.

9. Ban Alcohol

Sure alcohol can help you sleep, a glass of wine or whiskey might make you feel drowsy but it won’t last forever. The amount of alcohol you take will keep increasing for the drowsy effect to hit, not to mention the fact that alcohol can make you wake up in the middle of the night, so avoid doing that now. If you’re a smoker, try to avoid smoking at least 3 hours before bed time. Have a cup of caffeine free tea or the sleep tea instead.

10. Sleep Talk

For those who seriously suffer from a sleeping disorder and somehow belong to the sleepless society, maybe it’s time for you to apply some positive thoughts in your mind. Changing your subconscious might help you fall asleep better; by applying positive affirmations such as telling your self that you do not suffer from sleeping problem or you will sleep well tonight can be the beginning of the endless affirmations.

As always, we want to hear your tips on how to get a better nights sleep!

Hangover Cures - Tips To Get Rid Of A Hangover

It’s the morning after the night before and your world feels like a real shit place to be. You’re feeling bloody sick, dehydrated, tierd, you think you look like the devil and you ain’t got no money left having spent it all on booze. Will you ever recover? Well, try some of our hot tips and hopefully they will ease the pain!

Dehydration

If you couldn’t be bothered drinking water before you went to bed last night, make sure you down a pint or two now. Experts suggest that you need about 200ml of water to effectively counteract every 2ml of alcohol you drink. If your body is dehydrated, it will naturally take water from anywhere it can, including the brain cells. As your brain can’t feel no pain, the pain-sensitive filaments become stretched due to water loss which then results in a headache. So your headache will get worse as you become more dehydrated.

No coffee

Coffee might seem to help dull the pain but it will only be temporary. Coffee will also further dehydrate you which will likely result in a killer headache. So avoid it at all costs.

Hair of the dog

Yes, it might make you feel better but all you’re actually doing is prolonging the inevitable. Your liver processes the many different toxins in a certain order and alcohol is first on its list. Your liver then starts on the methanol, releasing formic acid into your system making you feel ill. By having a drink the morning after, your liver will temporarily stop processing the methanol to revert back to the nasty alcohol, making you feel a bit better in the short term. But at some point that methanol will have to be processed so when that massive hangover finally hits, it will not be fun!

Painkillers

Should you decide to go down this route, never ever mix it with hair of the dog. Also, try and avoid any pain relief made from Tylenol as this can be very dangerous to your liver. A couple of ibuprofen could make you feel better if you wash them down with more water.

Fruit (juices)

The fructose found in fruit is very good for burning up any alcohol left in your stomach, though the acidity ain’t going to be easy to cope with.

Mixing your drinks

By mixing your drinks, you’re effectively increasing the numbers of additives and toxins going into your system. With increased toxic levels, your system, particularly your liver, will struggle to cope with the poisons. By drinking water, you’re enabling your liver to flush out the toxins more effectively, otherwise your hangover is gonna be a lot worse the morning after.

Food

Even though food doesn’t really absorb alcohol, it helps increase your metabolism which in turn raises the speed your body processes alcohol. Eating before or after drinking is a bloody good thing. If possible, you should also have a hearty breakfast - you need amino acids and proteins, so get a fry up on the go!

Vitamin supplements

Binge-drinking drains you of Vitamins A, B and C. Popping a couple of multivitamins will certainly help get you back on the straight and narrow.

A Hot Bath

The heat is known to sweat out the toxins which are causing all the problems. You might at first feel a bit woozy but just go with it and you will feel much better afterwards.

If all else fails …..

Go back to bed!

20 Places To Make Love, Outside Of The Bedroom!

You’ve probably had your fair share of so-called out of the bedroom experiences. But for the sake of erotic exploration, we’ve come up with lusty locales you might have yet to discover.

1. A golf course

When out on the green, take a bit of a time-out for a, errr, hole in one. Try and explore the course outskirts for an ideal thunderstorm shelter. Most of these shed-like structures are often placed in remote areas and, unless it starts pissing it down, nobody’s going near them. Your missus might also want to sport a lovely little golf skirt for easy access.

2. In front of the fridge

Kitchen action might not be new to you but the icebox is probably uncharted territory. Open the door to the fridge and sit yourself on the floor with your back against those cool shelves. Then make her straddle you. The cold air will give you both a thrill and perk you up and, if you like, food can also be incorporated into your frisky play.

3. A rowboat

Your ordinary day by the lake can easily be turned into an erotic excursion. Rent a small boat and row it out somewhere remote with no presence of people. Once you’re there, get yourselves into missionary position so you can stay low and out of view, before making some waves

4. The bonnet of your car

Put a bit of a spin on this classic romp spot by buggering off the back seat. Spread a duvet on the bonnet and have an old school shag under the shining stars.

5. A farmer’s field

Take a little challenge and make love in the tall grass by the side of the road while you are taking a vigorous spin in the country. You will be well hidden while enjoying a roll in the hay

6. On a train

Ever wanted to make love in a moving vehicle? Then a train is the perfect way to go. You’ll most likely have to pay a bit more for your own berth, but thankfully the private area can always be used as your very own exclusive affection playground. All aboard

7. On a hike

To cop off in the great outdoors without any of you two lying down in the dirt, try and locate a big boulder to hide behind and stay out of view. With her back against the rock and legs wrapped around your waist, you can let her enjoy both stand-up sex and the beautiful scenery.

8. An gym bench

If you’ve got a home gym, why not use it to work up a bit of a sweat. The bench is the ultimate balance of firm and soft and it does put her in perfect alignment for woman on top position too. Lie down, then make her lower herself on top of you and use her legs to move up and down.

9. Bathroom Floor

Yes, it’s your bathroom, so you must be fully acquainted with your own territory, so make sure it’s reasonably clean and sanitised. Doing it on the floor with her back on the carpet can also add quite a touch to the proceedings for the two of you.

10. At a Rock Concert

The teeming and sweaty frenzy of a rock concert can be just the place to get you going. By this, we don’t necessarily mean a full blown romp. Instead, an overdose of GCSE style groping might be much in order.

11. Your Parents’ House

If you are excited by the possibility of getting caught at it, help is always at hand. Possibly the best way to spice up family gatherings is to have a quickie in your in-laws’ private chambers.

12. Take in a film

It’s dark and everyone is focused on the screen. Try and choose a film that ain’t so popular and go a bit late at night with a possibility of a near empty theatre. Find a seat in the back somewhere people won’t be able to look at you from behind.

13. Washing Machine

Your washing machine generates much more vibration than any other home appliance. When your bum’s on the lid, the spinning power is transmitted through your pelvis, effectively turning your cock into a real-life vibrator.

14. Car park

Getting off in your car in a car park gives you that right balance between exhibitionism and privacy.

15. The loo

It’s so hot probably because it’s so dirty. It’s also the classic story: you meet a girl at a packed night club and get really sweaty on the dance floor with her before she drags you into a toilet and ravages you.

16. On the Plane

Making love in an aeroplane toilet is arguably the holy grail of public love-making and that’s probably why it’s almost impossible to get away with it. But maybe you ain’t got to sneak off to the toilet to have a bit of fun in the skies. Just get yourself a nice blanket, drape it over the pair of you and let your hot fingers do the walking

17.The Garage

At a mate’s party, offer to pop out for some more beer, and then quickly slip out the garage door. No one will notice you being away for 15 minutes plus you can also hide behind the car if and when you hear somebody coming.

18. Fitting room

Making love in a clothing retailer fitting room is exciting. Try and find an unattended fitting room that ain’t too busy. Tell the salesperson you’d like to go in with your missus to make sure you like what she’s trying on.

19. The Couch

If watching a sexy telly show provokes your sexual energy, stay put and never bother moving into the bedroom. Making love in the living room is really thrilling because of its spontaneity.

20. The lift

Try a goods lift. It’s got no alarm and can be stopped between floors for more privacy. Should try this when you and your missus are helping a mate move into a new flat. Try and pack the sides of the lift with lots of boxes and leave the middle clear.

World’s Best Outdoor Parties

Carnival? Mardi Gras? Octoberfest? Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt. Everybody knows about these parties. They’re wicked. They’re famous. That said, most people go to them just once and never return. Let’s talk about great parties which attract the same people back year in year out.

Here’s our pick of top ten must-see parties:

La Tomatina

What: No one really knows how it all began - practical joke? A prank? Or a harmless food fight between 2 merchants? Nobody knows but this messy party has been a popular tradition since the late 1940s. In August on the last Wednesday, approximately 30,000 people come to this little town to take part in possibly the world’s biggest food fight. If you never had that huge canteen food fight when you were little, here’s your chance.

When: August (last Wednesday)

Where: The small town of Bunol in Valencia, Spain

Bring: Unwanted clothes and goggles - trust us, tomato juice in the eye really stings!

Full Moon Party

What: Rumour has it that the Full Moon Party began as a privately held birthday party in the late 1980s. Then the backpackers decided to return over and over again. Soon enough, word quickly spread and every month, thousands of backpackers would head to Ko Pa Ngan to party. Some people will tell you it has lost its charm over the years but for a genuine dose of all night partying in Thailand, this is the place!

When: During the monthly full moon

Where: Ko Pa Ngan, south of Thailand

Bring: Throw-away clothes, drinking shoes, a couple of red bulls and face paint.

Burning Man

What: This must be the ultimate arts extravaganza! An eight day festival culminating in the burning of a gigantic wooden man, Burning Man is where you can certainly cut loose. There’s a different theme every year and last year some 50,000 people decided to join the great fun.

When: Eight days before the US Labour Day in September

Where: Nevada, USA

Bring: Absolutely everything bar money! This party runs on a total barter system and you can only buy water and ice. Apart from the obvious supplies you would take camping, other essentials include sunblock and goggles.

Songkran

What: The Thai New Year is widely known as Songkran. It’s a spiritual festival intended to cool you down and more importantly wash away the sins of the passing year. There is no better way of doing that than by committing a couple of new ones! Songkran is celebrated all over the country with everybody embarking on probably the largest water fight in the world.

When: 13-15 April

Where: Anywhere in Thailand (Bangkok and Chiang Mai have the best, biggest parties)

Bring: Anything to wear only once, a water pistol, cold water and a good attitude.

Glastonbury Music Festival

What: A three-day music festival held to celebrate the earth, the arts and music, Glastonbury brings in people from everywhere in the world. Last year’s event attracted nearly 200,000 people and some 700 musical acts.

When: The last week of June

Where: Pilton, UK

Bring: Your tickets, a sleeping bag, tent, food and anything you need to have a good time.

Holi

What: Similar to Songkran, Holi is a 2-day Hindu festival taking place in northern India. People mark the first night with bonfires and spend the second day splashing water and flour over everyone. The locals say it’s a renewal celebration.

When: During the full moon in March

Where: Northern India

Bring: Green, orange and red flour, loads of water and clothes you no longer need!

Bay to Breakers

What: It’s a seven mile costume party and keg race going through central San Francisco. It started in 1906 to cheer people up after a major earthquake and the locals have since been keeping it well alive. Almost 80,000 people congregate in costumes and trolleys filled with kegs. There’s some serious fun to be had.

When: The 3rd Sunday in May

Where: San Francisco

Bring: A stupid costume and loads of beer!

Australia Day

What: The Aussies love 2 things: beer and BBQs. There is no day that brings out the best of the two than Australia Day, when everyone celebrates the first European settlement in Australia. A highly festive bunch, the Aussies kick it up a notch across the country with BBQs, beer and music. They’re really all out in full force. If you ain’t got no Aussie mate to take you under their wing, head to the nearest beach with beer and make some!

When: 26th January

Where: Anywhere in Australia

Bring: Your Aussie passion, a crate of Carlton draught and something for the all important grill.

Queen’s Day

What: The relatively reserved Dutch on this particular day cut loose to celebrate their the long-awaited birth of their Queen. The day was originally designed to celebrate the birth of Juliana but it now instead celebrates the birth of Beatrix whose birthday in January makes it too cold to party.

My Girlfriend Won’t Give Me Oral Sex!

Jock Asks:

I have just changed girlfriend and while my old girlfriend enjoyed oral sex, my new girlfriend doesn’t. Have you got any ideas on what I can do to get her to like oral sex?

Oral sex, the act of seeing her going down on you, licking and sucking is strictly pleasurable. But now that you have found out she doesn’t enjoy giving head, there might be a problem. What can you do? Well, first of all, you have to understand that not all women take pleasure in performing fellatio for various reasons. It can be due to the hygienic issues, the perception that only ‘bad girls’ do it etc. Whatever it might be, you can work it out.

Is it possible that she doesn’t enjoy going down south because you’re not doing the same for her? We know the give and take rule. However, in a sensitive case as this, you must also ‘enjoy’ giving her oral sex and not perform it out of duty or because you’re looking for a return favour. Take your time to pleasure her, don’t hurry her to the finish line, and remember that you would want her to take her time when she’s going down on you!

If you’re already giving her the pleasure she needs, then it’s about time to check yourself, starting from the odour, cleanliness, and how edible your old brother is. I’m not saying that your penis has to taste like strawberry but then it would be nice if it’s clean and doesn’t smell like a rotten sausage! Also, don’t set yourself on a mission to cum in her mouth as yet. In addition, if you have previously shot your load into her mouth and she didn’t enjoy the taste, changing your diet could help make your spunk easier on the tongue!

Next is communication. When she goes down on you, why don’t you reassure her that she’s really making you feel fantastic. Occasional moans really help; she would enjoy seeing you satisfied! Also, use statements like “Yes, right there,” could help guide her, make her feel special, like she’s doing something right. Sometimes women do feel insecure about what they are doing, so reassurance is not only healthy but also very sexy indeed!

If all else fails, maybe it’s time for you to ask her to speak her honest mind. Don’t pressurise her, but just be subtle, and understanding. Once you’ve found out what her issue is, address it and see if anything can be done. It should also help if the two of you simply try something new e.g. a cherry flavoured condom, whip cream, chocolate body paint, or some mint candy might do the trick. All the best!
