MASTURBATING“An orgasm a day keeps the doctor away” … The British National Health Service announced  in one of their brochures last year.  If you aren’t having sex every day to achieve the Big-O – the only other way is to masturbate.

 

Some people think of masturbation as taboo.   We’ve all done it at some point in time – during puberty, when we were horny teens, and as adults with (and without) our partners.  Men are very open about masturbating – and we all know they do it; women on the other hand are open and able to talk about sex more than men …. except when it comes to masturbation. 

 

Going Solo

Let me put it like this : every person is different, which means it takes a bit of trial and error with a new partner to figure out what works for both of you to achieve an orgasm.  And this is where masturbation comes in.  Your body is your temple and you are the master of your temple.  If you know what makes your body tick and what really stimulates you – you can in turn share that with your partner to ensure that you hit the Big O each and every time.

 

Ladies, if you haven’t masturbated as yet or are weary about admitting that you enjoy some solo action – stop thinking like that !!  If you don’t own a mini-vibrator (those things are smaller than a lipstick and super discreet) just go out there and get one !  Most of my girlfriends own a mini-vibrator or a ‘clit-kit’. I received one for Christmas a few years ago and trust me, no complains there ! Put aside some time for an evening of solo pleasure; dim the lights, get the scented candles out and just explore your own body.  Experiment and you'll be surprised by the sexy sensations you can provoke

Double The Pleasuremasturbation

Now that you’ve mastered the art of giving yourself a solo orgasm why not involve your partner ?  Seriously which hot-blooded man will say ‘sorry hunny, I don’t want you to pleasure yourself’ ?  Exactly !  It’s no surprise that men find it extremely erotic to watch their partner masturbate – either during foreplay and / or during intercourse.  Think of masturbation as foreplay and you’re on to a winner here.

Guys, a bit of subtle domination may result in a visual feast for you ! Next time you’re with your partner – why not tell her that you want her to touch her ‘hot spots’ and you’ll return the favour with your lips and tongue.  If you think she won’t respond to a direct verbal communication - you can always guide her hand down to her clit and rest yours over hers whilst you are busy exploring the rest of her – and tell her you want her to show you how she wants to be touched.  Ladies take a bit of initiative and give yourself a bit of a helping hand while your man is going about his business of making you writhe away under him ! Seriously he’s going Love IT !

 

So what are your thoughts about masturbation ? Do you masturbate ? How often ? Ladies – do you consider it taboo ? Do you own a vibrator ? If you don’t – just go out there and get yourself one .. it’ll be fun !

 

Diva’s Tips

  • Ladies if you are going solo – set the mood, turn your phone off, lie back and let your fingers explore !
  • Guys – all I have to say to you is – always encourage your partner to show you exactly how she wants to be touched … you’ll be in for a treat !
  • Don’t forget to use some lube to enhance the pleasure !

anal-sex-square-w352Ok so I’m sure I could have come up with any other ‘A’ related word but Anal Sex is really the first that comes to mind ! 

 

If you’ve never had anal sex before – it can seem a bit daunting and overwhelming.  But honestly, it’s not so bad (nor as painful) as some may make it out to seem.  The key to enjoying anal sex is to take it slow, use loads and loads of lube and that both of you have to be very turned on !!  If it’s your very first time, let your man get you warmed up with foreplay, then slowly  tease and massage the outer rim of the opening with his finger (and tongue) and once you’re ready (and you’ll know when you are), have him slip his finger in, only as far as is comfortable.  I cannot stress enough that you need to be relaxed and use plenty of lubricant !

 

Now that you’re ass has been deflowered; when you’re ready for the next level - the most comfortable position would be doing the deed in the missionary position; with your legs raised.  Trust me, it doesn’t hurt that way !

 

Guys love anal – they all want to do it to you even if they don’t ask you for it.  Ladies, if you’ve been weary of trying this – why not consider surprising him over a special occasion ? Gentleman, never force or pressurize your partner into something.  Just think about how you would feel if someone was trying to insert something into your butt !  Go easy on your partner and focus on the foreplay – use your fingers, your mouth and your tongue (not just on her clit and vagina but on her ass too) and if you’re doing it right – you’ll see her arching towards you and that’s your green signal right there !

 

I’ve always maintained the ‘if you can do it to me, I can do it to you’ rule in the bedroom (and outside).  And I have yet to meet a guy who doesn’t enjoy the favour being reciprocated on him !!  Ladies, work your tongue down his perineum to his ass while you are wanking him off and he’s gonna be in 7th heaven !

 

What has your experience with the ‘A-word’ been ? Good ? Bad ? Never want to do it again ? For the pros out there – any tips to make the experience more pleasurable ? Do share any other ‘A’ words related to sex in the comments.

 

Diva’s Tips:

  • Don’t just assume your partner is okay with this; TALK about it !
  • Lube, lube and more lube !
  • Go slow, it’s not a race

a-z-of-sex-syn2The A to Z Blogging Challenge kicks off on the 1st of April ‘13.  Unfortunately due to my schedule, I was unable to register as a participant as I missed the deadline … but that’s not going to stop me. 

The theme is a bit racy .. and it’s going to be fun .. ‘A to Z of Sex’ !! 

I’ve been thinking about writing about a particular theme ever since I completed the challenge last year. In hindsight I should have just started writing the posts back then but that didn’t quite happen.

If you are participating in the challenge, have you decided on a theme ? What is it ?  If you aren’t participating, what are some of the topics you would like to read about based on my current theme ?

PBefore I start today’s post, let me throw a few questions your way.

  • Do you want other bloggers to know about your blog ?
  • Do you think you have a fun blog and want more readers ?
  • Do you want to be recognized as a budding blogger with tons of potential ?
  • Do you have amazing products and want to reach out to new clientele ?
  • Are you looking to publish and distribute the next best-seller on this side of blogosphere ?
  • Are you publishing blog content that everyone should read at least once ?

If you answered Yes to any of the above (very random questions) then my darling blogger friend, you better start pimping your blog ! And I don’t mean by standing in a dodgy alley and giving out your blog business card. 

Social media is an amazing space and the most perfect place for you to pimp your blog without fear of being judged.  To use social media effectively, you know ‘know your audience’.  . Flowtown has a great infographic on social media demographics on their site.

Ideas & Inspiration

All blog posts stem from an idea or a thought which our fingers tap out into posts via the keyboard.

Do you ‘think’ about what your blog posts are going to be about or do you just let your creativity take over ? Or do you get an ‘ah ha’ moment and you know that’s what your next post is going to be about.

Sometimes I get inspired by other blogs I read – and I feel that I could definitely add another perspective to the general idea & thought behind that post.  I started participating inI memes such as #MusicMonday and #WordlessWednesday ‘cos I found that I certain music and photographs just tend to inspire me to pour out my emotions / thoughts.

I love the idea behind the A to Z Challenge because you’ve basically been given an outline of what you have to do – and now the world is your oyster and you can choose to write about anything.  I’ve come across blogs that are using the theme to list the best movies; favourite music artists; give writing advice; introducing characters from a fiction novel; and even relationships.  It’s fantastic.

Infographics

I’m sure you’ve seen them floating around cyber space – I find them pretty cool.  Did you know that cave paintings are considered to be the first infographics ? How cool is that ?

I quite admire anyone who is able to create an infographic – especially for complex information that needs to be easily understood.  I tried doing a basic one just for myself and gave up half way ‘cos it was getting too detailed (and really I am quite useless at using advanced Photoshop or any other creative software)

Do you use any infographics in your blog posts ? Have you tried to create one before ? If you are the creative designer type and use various software for designs then you should check out Inkscape. 

Diva’s Discovery

I personally really liked ‘Visual.ly’ for creating infographics because the interface is simple and easy to use.  Have you ever used it before or heard of the site ?  Here’s a funky infographic I made with the help of the ‘create’ feature on the site (they also have templates to guide you from)


create infographics with visual.ly

AIt’s quite simple really.  The way I see it – the about me / about the author should give your first time readers a quick glimpse of your personality and possibly what they can expect from your blog.

If your blog is going to be focused on a specific topic then the blog URL, the blog title should reflect that; if you are a sporadic blogger like myself then the name should indicate that. 

I’ve created some headers at the top of my blog to segregate my blog posts since I don’t really have a theme to my blog other than the fact that it is very sporadic.  So I’ve got sections such as  ‘Music’, ‘Poetry’, ‘Reflections’, ‘Relationships’, ‘Wordless Wednesday’, ‘Sexy Saturday’ (a meme I created for fun) and ‘Diva’s Guests’ which features all my guest bloggers.  I think it makes it easy for a reader to select what kind of posts they may want to read and to see if the topics appeal to them.

Also be prepared to be ‘accountable’ for your blog.  If you’re gonna have an opinion about a subject be ready for people to counter your opinion and make sure you have facts to back it up.   That’s where ‘attribution’ comes – don’t forget to link back to sites where you get your sources from (whether it be statistics or even images). 

Diva’s Discovery

There’s a cool site that I would like to share with you all called ‘about.me’ and it basically lets you put all your social media profiles onto one website and are even doing a promotional offer of giving out business cards with your details on it.  Definitely worth checking out especially if you can tweak the html code to direct your ‘about’ link to this site.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay that’s my first post done for the A to Z Challenge ! Feel free to share a link to your ‘about’ page in the comments so that others in bloggersville can visit you. 

Last summer I took part in the 10 Day YOU Challenge to see if I could actually blog 10 days in a row.  I did and it felt good to know that I had been a part of a ‘community challenge’ – I came across some fun blogs and got to know a few new people on Twitter.

Then at the start of this year in January – I participated in the Ultimate Blog Challenge – where the rules stated that one must write a post a day or a total of 31 posts in the month of January.

This month, I’ve been taking part in a small ‘photo-a-day’ challenge that my friend Sabu put together on FaceBook and we are 11 of us just doing it for fun.  I’m so thankful to my mate for doing this ‘cos it has kept me on my toes and its made me accountable for actually taking a photo a day and sharing it with the group.

Somewhere in between these challenges, I came across something called the A to Z Challenge and it caught my attention.  So much so that I had even prepared in advance and scheduled some posts in anticipation of participating in the challenge and not falling behind on schedule.  That was until my laptop died and I had to get a new one – which meant that none of my posts got saved as I had written them on live-writer.

Today, I came home after an amazing spa day with my girlf and decided that I need to stop procrastinating and just prepare myself for this blog challenge in April … and so this post is there to sign it off Challenge Accepted[4]in black and white into blogosphere that I’m gonna do this !

That’s right folks – in the words of Barney Stintson ‘Chalenge Accepted’ I’m going to take part in the  A to Z April 2012 Blogging Challenge !

As much as we all enjoy blogging, I’m sure like me – there are days when you can’t think of what to write .. or when you do have the idea – you can’t quite formulate it into the exact words that you want .. or you get a fab idea for a post, but you never end up writing it ‘cos work / life gets in the way and before you know it that idea is a distant dream.

Here are a list of 4 Sites that ensure you never run out of blog ideas again !
