A lot of the posts I have shared on this blog on celibacy and abstinence, both for personal or religious reasons, have been mostly focused on women. Someone sent me a Dear Myne post, asking how to find true love as she is celibate. Another sent in a comment that some men who will accept to abstain from sex with their women are often not interesting.
Differences Between Boys And Men In A Relationship
A BOY keeps a password on his mobile phone.
A MAN is confident enough to say "Sweetheart can you answer that for me.
A BOY runs the streets & chill with his friends.
A MAN is enjoying time with his woman planning ahead for their future.

Less Controlling Moms Have Strongest Relationships With Their Kids
Researchers have long evaluated the roles parents play in children's development. Now, researchers at the University of Missouri have found that mothers' directiveness, the extent to which they try to control the content and pace of young children's play, varies based on the children's ages and the mothers' ethnicities. In addition, the study found that the more directive the mothers were during play, the less engaged children were with them and the more negative emotion the children displayed toward their mothers.
#JustSharing: How To Go From Being Her Friend To Being Her Lover
It's a tale as old as time – you're great pals with this girl, but you can't help wishing you were more than friends. It's one of the most common questions asked of relationship experts: how do I go from friend to boyfriend?
Perhaps you have asked this question yourself, wondering how on earth you make the transition.
Going from friend to boyfriend is not an easy task, especially if you've known the girl a long time. Trying to start a relationship from scratch is difficult enough, but when you have the added pressure of being friends first, it can be downright terrifying. You want to be her boyfriend, but you don't want to scare her off and lose her. So what's a guy to do?
Think It Through
Your first step should be to make completely certain it's what you want. Ask yourself if your friend is really someone you want to date, someone you have strong feelings for. If you're just going through a dry spell and feel lonely, maybe you just want a girlfriend – not necessarily her. You run the risk of losing her friendship by trying to be more than friends, especially if it's not meant to be, so be sure it's want you really want.
Self-Improvement
If you've always hung out with this girl in baggy jeans and lame T-shirts, it's time to improve your image. You want your friend to see you in a different light, so some changes may be in order. Is your haircut current and in style? Does she hate facial hair and you have a goatee? Have you replaced your sneakers in the past five years? Stuff like this may not seem important, but when you're trying to impress a girl, it's crucial. Start lifting weights, wear sexy cologne, whiten your teeth – anything to make yourself more appealing.
Mix it Up
You need to change your routines and habits when it comes to the friend you like. Start incorporating more romantic activities into your time together. Instead of going to the theater with a group, invite her to your place to watch a movie – preferably a chick flick. If you've always gone to a crowded joint, take her to a fancy restaurant. Get tickets to a play or concert she really wants to see and surprise her at dinner. Keeping her a bit off guard while you expand your relationship might get her to evaluate how she really feels, and realize there's more to you than she thought.
Bite the Bullet
Once you've taken some time to broaden your relationship, it's time to tell her how you feel. If you don't feel the time is right quite yet, start with subtle flirtations. See how she responds to an out-of-the-blue compliment, or mildly s*xual innuendo. Does she seem uncomfortable or act awkward? Take some more time to work on the steps mentioned above before trying again. Then just be honest and tell her you've developed feelings and would love the chance to make her feel the same. If you're brave and the moment feels right, try for a kiss. Maybe start with one on her cheek, look her in the eyes, and slowly move in. She may be surprised at first, but if there's a spark, it will now ignite.
Don't make it seem like you're giving her an ultimatum – lovers or nothing. Assure her that no matter what she says, you'll always be friends. Lay your feelings on the table and give her time to absorb everything and think it through. If there is a romantic connection, she'll soon feel it just like you do. It may take a while, but it will be well worth it.

#JustSharing: Sex Tips To Rekindle The Heat
Keep It Pretty
First things first, it's impossible to have great s*x if you don't feel sexy, so treat yourself to a blowout or some new lingerie, whatever is needed to put the "va-va-voom" back into your step.
Flirt With Each Other
Make a habit of sending playful, sexy messages to him throughout the day. Make him salivate with anticipation by telling him what you're wearing and what you want to do to him later.
Set The Mood
Don't underestimate the power of lighting a few candles. Make sure your bedroom is sexy and doesn't have toys littering it. And turn off the tv.
Just Kiss
Agree to place a ban on s*x for a certain length of time and just kiss and focus on foreplay. Abstaining from s*x has the added benefit of charging up both of your libidos.
Surprise Him
Don't wear any underwear and let him find out.
Watch an er*tic film together
It doesn't have to be Po*n for it to be sexy. Some favorites: Body Heat, Belle du Jour, Last Tango in Paris, Like Water for Chocolate.
PLAY AN ADULT GAME
Discover A New Position
There are over 60 different positions in the Kama Sutra, so there's no excuse to not try a new one at least once a week!
Share Your Fantasies
A little role-playing can be fun and it doesn't have to be limited to the bedroom. Start the fun before you even get home by meeting at a bar and pretending you just met.
Get Out Of The Bedroom
Sometimes a change of locale is all that's needed to rev up the action. Try having s*x somewhere unexpected; just be careful not to get caught!
If any of the ideas makes you feel nervous, then you should definitely try it first. The great part of being with someone for an extended period of time is that you can fully trust and feel safe with him, so don't hesitate to try something out of your normal comfort zone, especially if it means revving your sex life up!
