    Ok me and my boyfriend have been going out a while now and we have spoken to each other about sex. Im 15 and he's 17 and we are both virgins. I AM going to wait until i am 16 in February, and i have a very open close relationship with my mum (thank god) so i have talked to her about it about it and she is going to take me to the doctors to get tested and to go on the pill in February. Well i am posting this question because i want to now will it hurt? He is fairly big (if you know what i mean) lol, about 7 inches erected, he has fingered me and i bled the first few times but i don't anymore when he fingers me now, so does this mean i wont bleed when i have sex? And also is it better for him to go on top for the first time or me???? By the way i would rather not have anyone say im to young because i AM READY and we love each other and want to take our relationship further. x Thank you i just needed to know about the pain is all so im prepared if there is any. lol xx thanks

    He shouts and gets angry for the slightest thing. He is very intolerant. He wants me to send him loving messages all the time, I do but not too many as we have only been dating 6 weeks. I want to take it slowly as I have been hurt before. I bought him presents (perfume, an easter egg, shirts). Sometimes he cancels dates but wants me to be available all the time when it suits him. Once did not show up at all and never called me. He went off for the weekend with his friends witout telling me and had his phone switched off. I was waiting at home for his call. He never apologised but ended up shouting at me that I worried his brother as I phoned his brother asking where he was and his brother didn't know. Yet, he wants me to be available for him when it suits him and gets angry when I am not. He gets angry easily for little things and has a temper. So I am not really sure he is a great guy .... He has no education and works in a factory and ever second week works on the night shift. I am studying for my Masters. His last girlfriends were vulgar and uneducated, one worked as a stripper. He used to work as a stripper. He is jealous and controlling and told him that I don't need to see my friends much any more. The first night we slept together he took me to a hotel. I dont know why he didnt take me back to his place. Ive been there since. I told him that I had been hurt in the past and that I wanted to take it slowly. He shouted and got angry and said "Everyone has been hurt in the past. Just get over it" He is not understanding but expects me to be understanding and caring towards him. Another time he got really angry because I asked to change bars and go to the bar next door as there were no seats at the bar we were at. Once when we slept together I went to the bathroom to get condoms. Three days later he brought it up in an angry voice that I destroyed the romantic moment by going to the bathroom to get condoms. Another time we arranged a blind date between my friend and his best friend and he got all angry and said "why would he phone her again as she won't sleep wth him, she is just looking for friendship" and was even shouting. SHOULD I CONTINUE TO DATE HIM? WOULD MANY WOMEN TOLERATE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOUR? He also told me that I talk too much about my friends and their lives and that I should only talk about me and him and our future together. Also, some of his friends occassionally go with prostitutes even though they are married.
  • Should I do this or not? Or how to make him feel "gutted"?

    this guy hurt me in some way. he was always saying how much he "likes" me, he was telling me things like "your the one ... we've got so much in common... we need to go out ..." etc. at the time, when he was asking me out, I wasn't sure it was a good idea (I didn't know him that much, he was showing his interest, which turned out to be lie) so I said "maybe not now, maybe later". after this he stopped talking to me, I was so mad at him - he was ignoring me all week, and then - thanks to facebook - I found out that all this time he was adding my girlfriends to his friends list! and more - once my bro caught him during his date with one of my friends! luckily this girl didn't know that it was my bro and that this lier and hypocrite was asking me out as well. I was so mad at him. and the ugliest part of this story is that when he sees me in uni, he starts flirting! can you believe it? oh gosh I want to do something to make him feel miserable, angry and furious! I had this little plan, but I'm not sure it's good enough - I'll delete him from my friends list and then I'll send him msg like "sorry, my boyfriend didn't want you in my friends list" hah! how good/bad is that? or maybe you can suggest something else? he hurts girls' hearts, now it's time to make him feel that way! [evil laugh]. or maybe it's better just to ignore him? I'm confused.

    he also is a rude smoker, messy and basically not a considerate person when it comes to sharing a house. In the beginning it was completely different, this was 3 years ago, now I get all this plus hardly any sex or much needed attention, and that was the best part in the beginning. So what does that say about me, honestly...no jokes please, im already up all night in tears!

    I already asked this question in mental health section, but i didn't get the respond I need so i posted here in this section 'cause I so in need for a good answer... Few days ago my sweet boyfriend (he's the first man in my life) that I love and trust blindly hurt me when we were talking about his book that going to be published soon and he admitted that used his writing talent from the start to make me love him only because I’ve never been touched by any man before and never been in love so he wanted to be the first and he said it exactly like this: " I wanted to make love to you because I knew if I would be the first man inside you that there would never be another man to ever get your love" I haven't showed him and sign of pain or anger or anything, I pretended everything is good and I’m ok with what he said but I spent two days crying and feeling so much pain and lonely thinking about the big fake fairy tale I was living. And then things wont worst yesterday when some guy I used to like very much called me after long time never heard from him, I thought everything going to be great with his call and he can make me feel better after my big disappointed with my bf. But the shock was that he didn’t even recognize me and said he only called because he found my number in his cell phone so he called to know whose number is this. I felt it right in my stomach like a stab that deep pain but I swallowed my tears and said like it doesn't matter who am I then hanged up the phone. I felt like crying but couldn’t drop a tear maybe one hour later I dropped some tears then nothing just went to the kitchen and have a late dinner which I don’t usually then went to bed… And when I woke up this morning I started to have this weird feelings or better say I have no feelings at all... I felt like nothing happened at all in the past few days I am not happy or even sad nothing at all. My mother yelled at me and insulted me because of something I told and didn't feel bad for it and didn't even got bothered with her words. And I watched this poor sick child with cancer on the TV and it was normal to me I didn’t felt pain for him. I tried to do my exercise but I couldn’t and thought like: what for? I tried to listen to some music but couldn’t feel the rhythm, I tried to pray but I couldn’t reach to the spiritual level in the prays and also tried to write about my failure relationship and some poetries but felt like there’s nothing to write about. I truly don’t know what’s wrong with me! Even when I am writing these words I don't feel like real worry I don’t' know how to describe it exactly but I only wonder why am I like this and how did I reach this level. So please would any body tell me what’s really going with me? Anything would help really. Most appreciated

The magic of honey

Posted Mon, Oct 29, 2007
POST A COMMENT »
"Hi, honey!" That happy greeting may also apply to the yellow-capped squeezie bear in your pantry, since the contents are good for so much more than sweetening tea. Honey is a natural antiseptic, moisturizer and, thanks to all its antioxidants, an age-fighter too.

"The high concentration of sugars gives honey germ-killing power, which is why it's been used for thousands of years to encourage wound healing," says New York City dermatologist Amy Wechsler, MD, our RealAge skin expert. Honey's thick, sticky consistency also makes it a natural protective salve, sealing out infection and creating a moist healing environment within. Use it in a pinch, Wechsler suggests, if you develop blisters on a camping trip and remembered your honey packets but forgot the Neosporin.

Honey is a terrific moisturizer for the face and body, too. "Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it draws 'free water' from interior tissues to the surface layers of the skin," says Wechsler. That subtle fluid shift creates a plumping effect that temporarily improves the appearance of wrinkles--handy before a morning presentation or a big night out.

To see for yourself, try this moisturizing honey mask, which Wechsler says also sooths dry, sensitive, or irritated skin:

  • Mix 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 teaspoons of whole milk.
  • Warm slightly in the microwave.
  • Smooth the mixture onto the face and lie down for 10 minutes (relaxing, plus it avoids sticky drips).
  • Rinse off with warm-not hot-water.

If you prefer a more cosmetic form, store shelves are swarming with honey-enhanced beauty products such as BeeCeuticals Organics' Honey Thyme Hand and Body Lotion, which is made from unfiltered, organic, nonirradiated honey ($9.95 for 8 oz. at www.healthfromthehive.com). It's made to be gentle enough to use even on psoriasis or eczema. And Benefit's Honey...Snap Out of It Scrub ($23 for 5 oz. at www.benefitcosmetics.com) has honey, vitamin E, and crushed almonds. Leave it on for three minutes and you've got a soothing and smoothing honey/almond mask.

As for the age-fighting effects, all types of honey contain antioxidants that appear to block skin-cell damaging free radicals, though dark honeys--particularly the honeydew and buckwheat varieties (check health-food stores)--have more of them than paler clover honeys. While there's still a debate on how effective antioxidants are when applied to the skin, Wechsler gives the thumbs up to swirling dark honey into your yogurt every morning. "It's a simple way to nourish your skin from the inside." Sweet.

    I have tried the remedy of Honey mix for sun burn to second degree burns on my knees while fishing and the burning sention went away and left no skin peel there after. This is my wife mom remedy as she was raised on a farm and all the old remedies without pharmacytical prescriptions worked better. Honey heals swollen eyes accompanied with cucumbers over the honey mix for ten minutes. I personally eat honey when I wake up in Am to stop the itchy throat I have form smoking. It also stops any stomach ailments I have from acid indigestion. and then some. My daughter uses it to heal some ackny when her periods are near.
