Unravelling the mysterious PMS

A Man’s Guide to a Woman’s PMS

There are days in the month where a man can get into trouble with his woman, for simply opening his mouth. It can be taxing, we know, but blame it on Premenstrual Syndrome. Commonly referred to as PMS, Premenstrual Syndrome or Premenstrual Symptom, is a collection of physical and emotional  symptoms that most women experience a few days prior to menstruation. The emotional and physical symptoms attributed to PMS might vary from one woman to another, but each woman experiences a predictable pattern that occurs consistently during the ten days prior to her period. The symptoms are known to go away either shortly before or after her period starts. During this time of the month, most women are emotionally vulnerable due to heightened hormonal activity. And thus, you might find the woman/women in your life overreacting to seemingly small things, which could potentially strain your relationship.

Symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome

Numerous symptoms have been associated with PMS.

  • The chief complaints relate to emotional symptoms such as increased emotional sensitivity, stress, anxiety, insomnia, mood swings and fatigue.
  • Additionally, a woman might experience tenderness in her breasts, bloating, constipation, swelling.
  • During mensuration, the blood-rich lining of the uterus is shed, which would have otherwise provided a home for the fertilised egg. At this time, many women also experience stomach cramps and muscular pain.

Men! Here’s what you can do

When she is going through such upheavals, it’s best for you to offer support to your wife or significant other, rather than allowing it to affect your relationship. It would be advisable for you to start a calendar, marking “that time” of the month.

  • Try and be as patient as possible.
  • Shower your woman with some TLC (tender loving care).
  • Lend her a hand with household chores (if you’re not doing that already), take her out for a meal and allow her some time to herself.
  • If and when she has cramps, give her a gentle massage or a hot-water bottle, or check to see if she wishes to see a doctor. (She probably won’t, but it’s nice to be asked.)
  • You could offer some calcium supplements as they are known to reduce mood swings and are generally good for women, especially over 30.
  • Aromatherapy can help ease the symptoms of PMS. So light her some scented candles and make the room as pleasant as possible.

How To Turn Her On

How To Turn Her On

How To Turn Her On

 

Did you know that the area of the hypothalamus responsible for s*xual pursuit is 2.5 times larger in your head than it is in hers? If you didn’t, then pay attention fellers. Men and women treat s*x very differently, so to become a s*x god superstar follow these tips and you’ll be able to turn your girl on every time:

 

Yo-Yo

Don’t worry, telling you to yo-yo is not a lame attempt at being gangster; we’re talking about incorporating the stop-start technique into your act. Women do not like it when you blatantly want to have s*x. To turn her on, you need to begin to make her horny, and then completely stop. To start, rub her back gently, brushing your hands over her body. Then go into the next room. After a few minutes, find her again and kiss her slowly and firmly. Run you hands through her hair. Then stop. Go and make a drink or flip through a magazine. Next, start to kiss her neck. Stop after a few seconds and do something else. Repeat this act four or five times and she will not be able to resist your charm.
 

Pamper

To be crowned king of the bed you have to think outside of the box. Although stress may not seem like a direct link to turning your girl on, it actually plays a huge part in your love life. Brain scans show that women achieve orga*m more easily if their stress levels are low. If your girl is feeling a little harassed, ask her how her day has been and if there is anything that is worrying her. Run a hot shower, rub her feet or tell her that you will handle all of the chores tonight. Knowing that she can talk to you and having a little time off will bring those stress levels right down and boost that all important s*x drive; win win.  Scented oils in a hot bath or scented candles are also highly effective at subtly calming and relaxing.

Brush up

Taking a look at some of the latest s*x toys can be quite an intimidating experience. They’ve got spikes, pikes, twists and turns. They throb, pulse, flip and hit. We have news though; s*x toys do not have to intimidate. You can use some items you already own to turn your girl on. A brush, silk scarf or feathers are all excellent stimulants. Simply take one of these items and run it gently over your girl’s body, starting from the top and working your way down. Start very slowly and skim her body. Pay special attention to the tips of her nipples, but avoid any of her more private areas. As she becomes more aroused, you can use more speed and work in some firm kisses or playful bites.

Enlarge your member

S*x adviser Dr Pam Spurr writes that “99% of women are happy with what you’ve got to offer.” Generally women do not care whether your trouser-pal is big, small, medium, rounded, wonky or bumpy. But if you care it will affect your confidence, and confidence is key to a girl’s big O button. If you want to make yourself look bigger there are a few simple tricks you can use. Firstly, trim your pubic hair. Cutting back your bush will expose your p*nis and make it more defined. Another way to make your p*nis look bigger is to lose a little weight. If the flesh around your pubic bone is padded with too much fat it will make your p*nis look smaller and make it more difficult to penetrate your lady deeply.

Flip her over

We’re not suggesting that you take her from behind guys, but by flipping her over you can reach her neck with ease. A woman’s neck is an unexpected yet highly sensitive area that is normally overlooked during foreplay. Begin by stroking her neck, from hair line down to its base. Then start to kiss it, just little pecks to begin with. At first, don’t tell her that this is in any way s*xual. If she gets turned on by the attention you’ll soon hear her breathing quicken and her body tighten. This is your cue to step up the act by whispering complimentary or dirty things into your girl’s ears; whichever you think will turn her on more.  The key to this move is to not give away the fact that you want her; this will turn her on even more and by the end she’ll be coming on to you.

Get scrubbing

Researchers from the University of California have found that men who tidy, clean, cook and generally help out around the house get 50 per cent more s*x than those men who do nothing to help. If you want more action it’s time to don the apron and get scrubbing. Wait until your lady is out of the house, and then begin doing a few chores that you have not been asked to do. You could also surprise her by buying in food and cooking her favourite meal. The trick to remember with this method is that it is a long-term endeavour. Your girl may not jump straight into bed with you once you have done a few jobs around the house, but after helping out over a longer period of time you may see some amazing results.

Get creative

If you’ve been with your girl for quite some time, or if you are having a bit of s*x act rut, try to shake things up. There are literally hundreds of different ways to turn on your girl (and you), so start to have fun with foreplay. You could buy a raunchy novel and read it together. You could have a messy food fight, or jump into the shower with your girl. One of the most creative turn on tricks is to cover each other in oil and wrestle. The slipping, sliding and grinding is both intimate and exhilarating. If these ideas don’t get you excited, why not try having s*x somewhere new? If you don’t want to get caught going alfresco, explore the different rooms in your house. The key here is to experiment and enjoy.

8 Things to Remember During Marital Downtime

8 Things to Remember During Marital Downtime

Here's wise advice on how to stay in love with your hubby, even when life with him isn't exactly a fairy tale. By Romelda C. Ascutia
For many of us, marriage is an eye-opener, and no matter how many years we'd spent as boyfriend and girlfriend, there are always a few new things (and not all of them good) to learn once we've tied the knot and are living together. These may be as trivial as loud snoring or a discovery as serious as drug addiction. Rather than feeling that lumagay ka na sa tahimik, we may actually find ourselves on a grueling journey of uncertainty.

Turbulent episodes are common in marriage. That’s because you have two very different personalities who may have different backgrounds and outlooks in life sharing a home--most likely for the first time. These differences can lead to conflicts that can strain a marriage or forge a stronger bond.

But the secret of a strong marriage is both partners’ willingness to help each other grow, rather than helping only oneself. It's also important to be clear-sighted in terms of seeing your partner for who he is and having realistic expectations about your marriage. 

So if you're feeling frustrated with your other half, you may want to remind yourself of the eight things listed below to help you deal.

GIVE AND TAKE IS NOT ALWAYS 50:50.

1. GIVE AND TAKE IS NOT ALWAYS 50:50.

Don’t think that marriage means a perfect split down the line all the time or that it’s Splitsville once the give-and-take balance tilts.

Sometimes the ratio might be 60:40 or even 100:0--it depends on the situation. You'll probably have areas where you contribute more than your hubby does, and he'll probably have his own areas of strength as well. What matters is that you feel confident about your partner’s love for you and that you are at peace and emotionally fulfilled.

 

 

 

SHOUTING ONLY MAKES THINGS WORSE.

2. SHOUTING ONLY MAKES THINGS WORSE.

Speak calmly, even (especially) when discussing points of contention or conflict in your marriage. Raising your voice does little to solve your marital problems.Control your temper and talk to your husband about the things that bother you when you're calm and he's in a better mood. This way, you're both in the right frame of mind to solve your issues.

 

 

 

 

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.

3. HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.

In these days of career women and two-income families, it’s the quality of the marriage that keeps it alive, not economic dependence or tradition. And to keep your relationship with your husband healthy, you need to open up and share yourself--your thoughts, pains, joys. Total intimacy, not just intimacy in the sexual sense, leads the way to true love. There is a need for an honest exchange of feelings, especially about what hurts you in your marriage. When your spouse opens up to you, you feel there is love in the union even if you don’t always see eye to eye.

 

 

 

 

LAUGHTER REALLY IS THE BEST MEDICINE.

4. LAUGHTER REALLY IS THE BEST MEDICINE.

With so many challenges, a sense of humor is essential. Learning to appreciate the funny things in life--even when you're burdened by problems--is a sure way to keep things light between you and your husband. As the song goes, look on the bright side of life!

 

 

 

 

RESPECT ONE ANOTHER IS ESSENTIAL.

5. RESPECT ONE ANOTHER IS ESSENTIAL.

Even though you're married, you're a completely different person from your husband. Your likes, dislikes, and passions may be totally different from his. Don't force your belief systems on your husband. Instead, accept his choices and be mindful not to criticize when he does something that annoys you.

 

 

 

 

DECISION-MAKING SHOULD BE DEMOCRATIC.6. DECISION-MAKING SHOULD BE DEMOCRATIC.

 

Make decisions based on what is good for your family's overall interest and wellbeing. Your pride may make it difficult to make concessions, but you and your husband must work as a team. And if you put your family's welfare first, you will always arrive at a decision that both you and your husband are happy with.

 

YOU ARE EACH OTHER'S NO. 1 SUPPORTERS.

 

7. YOU ARE EACH OTHER'S NO. 1 SUPPORTERS.


Rather than snicker at your husband’s flaws or shortcomings, give him your full support. You may come from different social backgrounds, but if you put up a united front and don't let your make up for each other's failings, you will build a better relationship and a stronger family.

 

 

 

YOU NEED TO LOOK FOR THE GOOD IN HIM.

8. YOU NEED TO LOOK FOR THE GOOD IN HIM.

The challenge of marriage is to be able to love your partner when he is least lovable. When you begin to think that everything about him is bad, you may have to look deep in your heart to find the good in him. It may be tempting to cut and run when times get tough, but if you believe that your marriage is worth fighting for, then both you and your husband have to work for it.

 7 Secrets to a Happy and Healthy Marriage

Find out what you can do to make sure your marriage lasts forever. ByBoboy Alianan, Vange Alianan
After the cermony, the flowers, and the ring, you and your husband will find that your biggest project is working on your marriage. No matter how much you try to prepare for problems that may come up along the way, there are a lot of things you won't be ready for. But it is possible to make your union successful. Check out 7 tips to help you out in the slideshow below.

Listen

1. LISTEN.

Before trying to make your spouse understand what you think, learn to listen to what he thinks. Be in tune with both verbal and nonverbal signs. Do not assume that you know and understand it all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Accept

2. ACCEPT.

Learn to accept your partner in his entirety. As you learn to understand the other person's language, you need to accept all that is conveyed. You cannot change the other person; you can only try to change yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Affirm

3. AFFIRM.

Acknowledge what you understand and accept. Give your spouse frequent and sincere compliments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Demonstrate your love

4. DEMONSTRATE YOUR LOVE.

Regularly do things he likes. Send thoughtful text messages, say "I love you," or touch each other affectionately as often as possible. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be the best of friends

5. BE THE BEST OF FRIENDS.

Gain your partner's trust by keeping his treasures and secrets sacred. Realize that trust in a relationship is something you cannot afford to lose. Be your partner's number one supporter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hang out with each other

6. HANG OUT WITH EACH OTHER.

Find common things you enjoy doing together. Spend excessive time with your partner, whether this means doing household chores together or going on special dates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Laugh together

7. LAUGH TOGETHER.

Appreciate the funny side of life with your husband. Be playful, share jokes, and take the time out to act like kids. Not only will it help you forget about the real world for a while, but it will also give you the chance to reconnect with each other.
