Another three people died in an accident on Nelson Mandela drive in Potchefstroom when two cars collided, said Mmope.

7 Must-know sex secrets


Image

Guys, here’s your chance to know the seven sex secrets women wish their partner knew:

 

A good talk is a great aphrodisiac 

Many women find talk a great turn-on. For them, talking and feeling loved are very important. Good conversation during walks or while the couple is relaxing can be a great aphrodisiac. A man could tell his woman how much he loves her, which acts as a reassurance that he is with her mentally during those intimate moments. 

 

Many women are anxious about their looks 

For a couple that has been together for long, sometimes it is natural that women may feel that their partner may find them less alluring. Because of this some women undress only under the cover of darkness. Caring men can sense such anxieties. There is no need to lie and say she’s gorgeous if she isn’t, nor is there a need to say that she is not attractive anymore. One can always appreciate and praise what you do find attractive. 

 

For a woman sex isn’t separate from rest of her life 

On the other hand, men tend to compartmentalise, feeling that stressful aspects of life can be parked mentally and separated from sexual activity. Women need good feelings and experiences during the day to have satisfying sex. How her lover treats her out of bed, greatly influences her response in bed. Inattentiveness, harsh language, rude tones, hurtful words, and criticism can make it difficult for a woman to get involved, feel enthusiastic and be passionate during sex. 

 

An orgasm is not a necessity 

Many men feel that a good lover is one who can bring his woman to climactic sexual culmination. It is great to have such moments, but aren’t always essential. Many women feel pressure from partners and even from themselves to reach an orgasm. Sometimes instead of having orgasms, women prefer to engage in just foreplay. 

 

Sex need not be a serious act 

Playfulness is a great quality. Many men are far too serious about sex. They forget to laugh, be romantically mischievous, have fun. Playfulness and light-heartedness can make intimate moments enjoyable and relaxing. This takes performance pressure off from both partners. 

 

Women cherish non-sexual touching and tenderness 

Women love romance, cuddling, hand-holding and kissing. But many women complain that their men never do this except during foreplay. A woman should make her man realise the joy of touching. As you give him a relaxing massage and stroke his face and hair tenderly, he starts experiencing the joy of this kind of non-sexual touching. Tell your man what makes you feel loved. 

 

Warm attention after sex is important 

A woman’s need for tender moments goes beyond the actual lovemaking. Some women complain that men fall asleep immediately after the act. It is true that when a man is having sex, his endorphin level is very high. Almost immediately after ejaculation, he goes through a refractory phase where he loses his erection and all his systems gear down. In females this phase happens gradually. However, if you don’t like him falling asleep immediately, tell him without putting him down. Alternatively, let him sleep in your arms for a few minutes and gently wake him up afterwards.

How deadly CAR battle unfolded


Image

From March 22 until about 9pm on March 24, 200 South African soldiers fought a series of running battles outside Bangui in the Central African Republic (CAR) against 3 000 or more well-armed opponents. And they did so while the CAR Army (Faca) evaporated and the peacekeeping forces of the Central African Standby Brigade disappeared from the scene.

 

That series of running battles claimed 13 soldiers and 27 others were wounded, but the force retained its cohesion and was able to fall back from two separate engagement areas to its base and to hold it until their attackers gave up trying to overrun them and proposed a ceasefire and disengagement. By then the rebels had suffered as many as 500 casualties, based on estimates by officers with considerable operational experience and estimated by a number of NGOs in the country. In the process the soldiers fired off more than 12 000 rounds of 12.7mm machinegun ammunition, 288 rockets from 107mm rocket launchers and 800 bombs from 81mm mortars, and thousands of rounds from 7.62mm machineguns and 5.56mm rifles.

Celtics coach upset,Chiefs stretches a lead


Image

Bloemfontein Celtic coach, Clinton Larsen, was visibly upset with some of the referring decisions during his side’s 3-0 loss to Kaizer Chiefs on Sunday afternoon, but instead opted not to talk about it and rather focussed on his players’ performance.

 

There were some dubious referring decisions made during the 90 minutes at the Free State Stadium on Saturday that saw, what many thought was, Kingston Nkthatha scoring from an offside position and then later in the match the referee wave away two legitimate penalty appeals for handball inside the box (the first being Morgan Gould and the second Siboniso Gaxa).

 

Larsen, though, did not want to dwell on the negatives, especially the poor referring which he says they have become accustomed to. Instead he said he was proud of his boys’ performance and the fact that they stuck to the tactical game plan.

 

“No, not at all we are used to this when you are playing against the bigger clubs but the less said about the refereeing the better,” said Larsen.

 

“I think [tactically] we got it spot on today, we gave them a lot of problems, using the space left by their fullbacks, they had to adjust to the way we played. We played a 4-3-3 and I think the boys executed the game play exceptionally well.

 

“If ever there was a deceiving scoreline I have to think that it is this one today,” said Larsen after the match.

 

“The first goal, 16 minutes into the game, totally against the run of play and so with the second one as well.

 

“I think in the second half they got into our box 3/4 times, we controlled most of the second half, so I am very proud of the performance. There are so many positives to take out of this for the next game.”
