Everyone wants to be a better lover. For many, especially men,
inability to offer one's partner a lasting sexual experience is a source
of concern and even stress. However avoiding premature ejaculation in
men and lack of sexual stamina in either partner can be easy with the
right set of bedroom techniques and lifestyle changes. Here are some
steps to help boost your bedroom game and ensure satisfaction for both
you and your partner.
Method 1
In the Bedroom
1
Take it slow. Sex doesn't have to be fast and
furious. Keep your movements slow and steady and let stimulation build
gradually. Instead of being forceful, tease and titillate your partner
by holding back and varying the angle, speed and deepness of
penetration. When both partners are ready you can speed up together for
an explosive finish.
One variation of this is called the "7 and 9" technique: keep
yourself (and potentially your partner) stimulated without going over
the edge of climax by alternating between seven fast strokes and nine
slow strokes.
2
Change it up. One of the best ways to keep your
energy up, prevent cramps and avoid premature ejaculation is to change
positions, speeds and acts more frequently. When you feel yourself
approaching orgasm, switch to a new position or stop to give your
partner some manual or oral pleasure. Along with helping you last
longer, this will give you a more interesting and varied sexual
experience.
3
Take breaks. If you feel yourself getting too close
to climax, or just running out of steam, just stop for a few minutes.
You can use this time to enjoy foreplay, talk dirty, or switch to
stimulating your partner manually or orally. When you've had a chance to
cool down, dive back in for another round of intercourse.
4
Focus on foreplay. Penetrative intercourse isn't the
be-all and end-all of sex. You can give your partner a longer experience
by taking the time to have great foreplay. Kissing, touching, pillow
talk, and the use of toys or restraints can all make for awesome,
memorable sex. Give your partner a lot oral and manual stimulation to
get them ahead of you—or even get them to climax one or more times
before penetration. If you make the most of several or all of the
activities in your sexual toolbox, a few minutes of intercourse may be
all either partner needs—or wants—to be satisfied.
5
Use thicker protection. While some argue that there
is little noticeable difference between different condoms, many men and
women swear using thicker condoms can reduce sensitivity and let them
hold off orgasm longer. Using lube in conjunction with a condom has also
been shown to help men last longer.[1]
6
Try a desensitizing cream. Many sex stores and sexual
health retailers sell creams that can be applied to the penis to numb
sensations during sex, thus allowing men to hold off their climax
longer. Of course stopping to put on a chemical cream isn't the sexiest
thing you can do in bed, so this method may be best saved for
comfortable and committed sexual relationships.[2]
Look for a cream that absorbs into your skin to prevent numbing your partner as well.
Method 2
In Your Life
1
Eat right.
Lack of sexual stamina, for both men and women, can be a symptom of
larger problems with your health and diet. To have a great sex life, eat
healthy foods and maintain a healthy weight.
Avoid foods that are high in saturated fats and cholesterol, as
these can clog your arteries and reduce blood flow. Good blood flow is
vital to having the best sexual experience.[3]
2
Exercise.
Good sex can be hard, tiring work! Like any physical activity, your
stamina in bed can be improved by staying fit. Shoot for 30 minutes of
aerobic exercise at least five days a week, plus strength training twice
a week. Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, will keep you
healthy, promote good blood flow and give you the energy to have great
sex. Plus exercise can improve your body image and make you a more
confident lover.
3
Stay stress free.
Stress can make it hard to stay focused, aroused and happy during
sex—and it can constrict the blood flow necessary for healthy sex. To
improve stamina and enjoyment, both men and women should reduce stress
in their life—or at least learn to leave it outside the bedroom.
4
Practice. As with any activity, practice makes
perfect. Have more sex with your partner using the techniques above and
soon enough your stamina and control over your orgasm will improve and
come more naturally.
Masturbation is also a good way to train yourself to control your
climax. Practice getting close to orgasm but stopping right before.
Repeat several times before you finish. This will help you learn to
notice when you are at the edge of climax, and control yourself when you
get there. You don't have to do this every time you masturbate, but
occasionally challenging yourself to see how long you can last can be
fun and helpful.
Masturbating too often in the same way, however, can train your body
to only respond to certain kinds of stimulation—which can be
troublesome when you want to reach your climax during
intercourse. Be sure to vary your routine: switching hands, using lube,
trying sex toys, and exploring different kinds of mental and visual
stimulation.
Method 3
In Your Head
1
Don't worry. One of the most common causes of premature ejaculation in men is nervousness and anxiety over the quality one's performance.[4]
The best thing to do is relax and focus on enjoying the closeness with
your partner. Remember that sex is about intimacy as much as pleasure,
and great sex comes from chemistry much more than stamina or skill. If
you find yourself getting stressed or "in your head," take a deep breath
and spend a moment reconnecting with your partner.
2
Think about something else. The classic way that men,
and some women, use to control the timing of their orgasm is to
concentrate on some mundane topic while having sex. Put the pleasure you
are receiving to the back of your mind, and try doing a few basic math
problems in your head until you are finally ready to climax.
Avoid thinking about topics or images that stress you out or turn
you off. These can cause you to lose your arousal during sex, instead of
simply letting you extend it. Instead try to think about something more
abstract, such as visualizing geometric shapes or recalling the lyrics
to a favorite song.
Don't extend your stamina at the expense of being present with your
partner. Long sex can be dull for both of you if you spend the whole
time with your head in the clouds. Use this technique sparingly and
instead focus on engaging and being active with your partner.
So many articles show you how to get lighter skin. This article will show you not only how to whiten skin, but how to maintain it with a rosy glow. Most of these methods are unverified home remedies. If you are worried about possible side effects or skin discoloration, see your doctor or dermatologist for advice.
Steps
1
Increase your Vitamin C intake. This enhances skin color and suppleness. This will help keep your skin strong by maintaining its basic support structure—collagen. You can increase Vitamin C intake by:
Eating more foods that contain Vitamin C. This includes citrus like lemon,orange,gooseberry,etc.Fruits/juices, strawberries, sweet peppers, tomatoes, cantaloupe, and green peas.
Taking Vitamin C pills. If you chose to do it this way, you should take 250 mg/day. Do not go beyond this amount.
2
Eat more Vitamin A. Since your skin is basically composed of Retinol, which is Vitamin A, this will help keep your skin healthy and strong. If you feel your skin is weak or not tight enough, that usually suggests a lack of Vitamin A.
Foods that are high in Vitamin A include nonfat milk, oysters, and egg yolks. You can also get Vitamin A by eating foods that are high in beta carotene, which will help minimize the effects of sun damage to your skin. These include carrots, watermelon, papaya, tomatoes, or other dark colored produce.
3
Minimize your exposure to sunlight and pollution. Apply sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 15 whenever you are outdoors. UVA/UVB rays are known to be harmful to your skin because they slow down your body's ability to repair damaged skin cells and clear dead ones. Pollution is also a major cause of acne and dull skin tone.
4
Use skin lightening products — with care. Skin lightening products with hydroquinone or kojic acid reduce the amount of melanin in the skin when applied.[1]These can be effective, but they come with certain risks:
Skin whitening products have been associated with toxic levels of mercury, and therefore, with mercury poisoning. The FDA regulates the use of hydroquinone in the U.S, and so it's relatively safe. 1 out of every 4 skin whitening agents from China, however, contains mercury, and so should be used with caution.[1]
Be careful about sun exposure when using skin whitening agents. Prolonged sun exposure can lead to skin cancer.[1] Always use appropriate sunscreen and other sun protection when exposed to sunlight.
Bleaching agents can cause irritation and allergic reactions in some people. Bleaching agents with steroids, such as kojic acid, may put you at risk for health problems associated with steroid use.
5
Drink water to stay hydrated. Invest in a personal water bottle and keep it with you throughout the day.
6
Exercise daily for 30-60 minutes. Doing so will help you de-stress and let your body detoxify.
7
Mix raw sugar with oil. Scrub this lightly on your face. Do not use oil if you have normal to oily skin. Use honey in place of oil. It will leave the skin lightly moisturized, which is desirable for oily skin types.
8
Use lemon to lighten your skin color. The citric acid in lemon slowly works away at the pigments in your skin, but this treatment will take a while. Mix equal parts fresh lemon juice and water into a spray bottle and apply evenly over skin you wish lightened. Consider:
Avoid exposure to sunlight. When using lemon and other skin-lightening products, always use sunscreen and avoid unnecessary time in the sun. Lemons and lemon juice can dry out skin, making it susceptible to sun damage.
Try using lemon or lemon juice only every other day. Lightening your skin with lemon juice will take a long time, so it's tempting to try to apply a mask or lemon juice every day. Try to stick to 3-4 applications every week. Lemon juice dries out the skin too much to apply every day.
Be aware of what products you put on your skin. Much of what you put on your skin gets absorbed into your body. If you are using other ingredients in addition to lemon juice as a peel, a wash, a lotion, or a mask, use good judgment about whether you'd want it in your bloodstream.
9
Make a face mask. The following options will whiten your skin and improve your complexion.
Cucumber mask. Put a cucumber, 1/4 cup of lemon juice, 5 teaspoons of honey, and 5 teaspoons of milk into a blender. Blend until well mixed. Pour mixture into a bowl. Stir in flour until the mixture gets a thick consistency. Refrigerate for 6 hours. Apply to your face once daily after you shower. You should leave it on for 15-20 minutes, and wash it off with warm water and a clean towel.
Amaranth juice mask. Blend 1/4 cup amaranth juice or 1 cup of amaranth leaves with a small amount of lukewarm water leave for 15 to 25 minutes.
Mint and floral cream. Put a handful of almonds, fresh rosebud paste, honey and 5 tablespoons of fresh mint juice into a blender. Blend until creamy. Apply the cream every night before bed. If refrigerated, the cream should last about one week.
10
Make use of other home remedies. Other home remedies using items commonly found around the house may help you whiten your skin while giving it a rosy luster.
Make a potato mask. Potatoes may contain bleaching agents that make the skin lighter while treating blemishes. Mash raw potato into a pulp, make a paste with a bit of milk, and apply to skin, leaving for 15 minutes. Alternately, apply raw potato slices to skin and leave for 15 minutes.
Make an almond mask. Soak some almonds in water overnight. Dump out water, blend almonds with either honey or milk, and apply as a paste to skin. After it dries, wash it off gently.
Make a tomato mask. Another natural bleaching agent, tomato can be mixed raw with a bit of lemon juice and applied as a paste to the skin. Leave for 15 minutes before washing off.
A skin-lightening cream usually gives the fastest results, but still usually takes four weeks. If you're looking for something faster, visit a dermatologist.
Try a cream that includes alpha hydroxy acids or hydroquinone, but expect it to take several months of regular application to fade completely. A dermatologist may be able to remove it more quickly. Visit a dermatologist if the dot has a rough border, asymmetric shape, variation in color, or if it's larger than 6 mm (¼ inch) across. These are possible signs of melanoma skin cancer.
I have vitiligo on my face (patches of lighter color). Can I use these methods to remove them?
Vitiligo is difficult to treat. It's best to consult a doctor who can prescribe a treatment that's right for you. In the meantime, wearing sunscreen and reducing stress helps some people avoid the development of new or larger patches.
There's some evidence that lactic acid has a mild bleaching effect on skin. However, yogurt only contains a small amount of lactic acid, and milk has almost none. You can try it, but don't expect major results.
Browse & Extract iTunes Backups of an iPhone or iPad
Introduction
Maybe you're just curious and want to know what files get copied when you backup your iPhone using iTunes. Maybe you need to access certain backed up databases from your iPhone such as your contacts, voicemails or text messages. Whatever the case may be, iExplorer comes built-in with the most powerful and easiest to use iTunes backup extractor.
If you're looking to browse files of an existing iPhone backup by iTunes or want a new iPhone backup - iExplorer lets you browse the raw files and folders that are created every time you backup your device with iTunes and it can seamlessly parse various database files such as your text messages, notes, voicemails, etc, thereby making everything easily readable and exportable. In the following tutorial we'll show you how you can easily browse and access these iTunes backup files on either a Mac or Windows computer.
Browse Current iTunes Backup on iPhone
To view the files and folders of the iTunes backup data that is currently on an iPhone or iPad, first open iExplorer on your Mac or PC. Then, go ahead and connect your device with its USB cable to your computer. Once the device is connected, iTunes may prompt you to sync your device - click "No" or "Cancel." We recommend that you avoid syncing the device to iTunes as, in some cases, doing this may result in the permanent loss of data from your device.
After your device is connected, iExplorer will display the Device Overview screen. You can return to this home screen at any time by clicking on your device's name in the navigation panel on the left. To get started accessing the device’s backup data, click Backups in the middle panel. You can also access the backups section on the device by clickingBackups through the sidebar on the left.
You'll then be prompted to make a backup selection. If you didn't already have an iTunes backup on this computer, iExplorer will ask whether to create one, either "Yes" or "No", or if you have an existing backup, you'll be asked whether to "Use Last Backup" or "Refresh" to create a new one. If it's been less than 24 hours since your last backup, iExplorer will automatically load the existing backup. If you need to make a newer one, you can right-click on Backups in the left panel and choose to refresh.
Browse Existing iTunes Backup of iPhone
With iExplorer, accessing the contents of a backup that was previously created by iTunes of an iOS device is easy. Simply start iExplorer then, if no device is connected, click “Explore iTunes Backups.” Then, in the left column of iExplorer you’ll see a section titled “Browse iTunes Backups” under which you’ll see all of the backups from iTunes listed. If a backup was encrypted at the time it was created, it may not appear here.
Browsing iTunes Backups
Once you have your backup selected, you can view the raw files and folders inside the backup by clicking “Backup Explorer.” Otherwise, you can click on Messages, Contacts, Voicemail, Call History, Notes, Safari or Calendar to access the database information from the backup but parsed together in a much more readable fashion. The raw files and directories of the iTunes backup can be easily transferred using drag-and-drop and additional access options are available from the right-click context menu.
