Most women we spoke to do not like sex and say it is boring, painful, repetitive and dirty, among other things.
They use it just to hold on to and make their men happy. Some women claim to have a headache when it’s time for sex, while others pretend they are too tired.
What is going on? Is there something our men are not doing right?

The media spotlight on suspended Crime Intelligence boss Richard Mdluli has overshadowed Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa’s alleged involvement in the Crime Intelligence “Slush Fund”.
A comprehensive criminal investigation needs to take place and this must include claims that almost R200 000 was paid from the slush fund for renovations to Minister Mthethwa’s private residence in KwaZulu-Natal. Minister Mthethwa also allegedly used a luxury Mercedes-Benz SUV, bought by crime intelligence, for a period of 15 months.
The City Press yesterday reported that Mdluli is facing an internal police disciplinary hearing on 2 July where he has to answer to ten charges relating to his alleged abuse of the crime intelligence slush fund and appointing family members and friends to the service.
An internal disciplinary hearing is not a court of law. The DA maintains that nothing less than a proper and comprehensive criminal investigation into the Mdluli saga will be acceptable. I will also follow up with the Public Protector regarding her preliminary investigation into Minister Mthethwa’s alleged improper conduct and abuse of the slush fund.
The hearing should not be used as a means of taking the heat off Minister Mthethwa and sweeping the entire sordid affair under the carpet. While Mdluli must answer for the allegations against him, he cannot be made the fall guy for the Minister’s own alleged indiscretions.
The South African public deserves concrete answers on the Mdluli saga and the alleged involvement of a string of senior politicians and police officers, including Minister Mthethwa.

South African mule who was arrested in Thailand, Nolubabalo “Babsie” Nobanda was sentenced to 15 years in prison by Bang-kok court today.
Nolubabalo was arrested after trying to smuggle cocaine worth R1.2 millions in Thailand. She tied them in her artificial dreadlocks and was arrested at Thailand International Airport after security authorities noticed something strange like a white powder in her hair.
According to reports, Eastern Cape-born was coming from Brazil and was promised R16000 by the syndicates.
Nobanda’s mother was supposed to jet out of the country last night, but because of her health issue she decided to cancel the trip also due to security measures.
The family said they will send legal team for appeal of the case.
“I had to cancel my journey to that county because my doctor has indicated that I suffer from acute stress and may not be fit to travel,” she said. Her safety was another reason for cancelling the trip.
“The syndicate which led Nobanda to Brazil had not yet been arrested by the South African authorities.”

Dikeledi is five years old and in Grade R. At her age, she should have been grappling with her three Rs, but the Limpopo girl has been raped allegedly by three separate men since the age of three.
Her mother is pained that a few days ago a relative of one of the suspects termed her daughter a “slut who sleeps around with all sorts of men” when he was being arrested.
The relative has denied uttering the words.
The first time Dikeledi (not her real name) was allegedly raped was in December 2010 and a 27-year-old man was charged with rape.
