We all know sex sells. Woman who works as professional sex toy tester has 15 orgasms at work each week!

A woman who works as a professional sex toy tester rakes in £15,000 a year having 15 orgasms a week - all in the name of work. Many of you just said to yourself, guys give me a break! Cara Houiellebecq has an office crammed with more than 2,000 toys that she test drives for adult companies - before being paid to review each one on her blog. The mother-of-two from Lincoln, who became an erotic blogger five years ago, spends seven hours every week testing the toys.

Cara and her work tools

She stated that because of her blog’s high follower-ship, manufacturers and sellers will ask if they can send stuff to her for review on her blog. 

Cara worked at a sex toy website for two years before leaving in February 2012 to set up on her own - and she has now won Best Erotic Journalist at the ETO awards for two consecutive years.

What a way to make money from exploring your passion, if you ask me!

ARE YOU AT RISK OF CATCHING THE INCURABLE, DEADLY EBOLA DISEASE?

What is Ebola virus disease?

Ebola is a severe, often fatal illness, with a death rate of up to 90 per cent. The illness affects humans as well as primates, including monkeys, gorillas and chimpanzees.

A screen shot of the deadly Ebola virus

How do people become infected with the virus?

Ebola is transmitted through close contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected animals. In Africa infection in humans has happened as a result of contact with chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead in the rainforest.

Who is most at risk?

Those at risk during an outbreak include: health workers and their family members or others in close contact with infected people. Mourners with direct contact with the bodies of deceased victims. Hunters in contact with dead animals.

What are the typical signs and symptoms?

Sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat. That is followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, rash, impaired kidney and liver function and internal and external bleeding. The incubation period is between two and 21 days. A person will become contagious once they start to show symptoms.

When should you seek medical care?

If a person is in an area affected by the outbreak, or has been in contact with a person known or suspected to have Ebola, they should seek medical help immediately.

What is the treatment?

Severely ill patients require intensive supportive care. They need intravenous fluids to rehydrate them. But there is currently no specific treatment for the disease. Some patients will recover with the appropriate care.

Can Ebola be prevented?

Currently, there is no licensed vaccine for Ebola. Several are being tested but are not available for clinical use.

Is it safe to travel to affected areas?

The World Health Organisation reviews the public health situation regularly, and recommends travel or trade restrictions if necessary. The risk of infection for travellers is very low since person-to-person transmission results from direct contact with bodily fluids of victims.

What Men Like to Hear. 5 Compliments that turns them to Jelly

Women are accustomed to receiving compliments. On the other hand, men rarely get a compliment, especially from their women. But deep down, if you really want to make your man blush, fire off a meaningful compliment to your man and make way for a steaming relationship ahead.

What men like to hear

Boy, you can work it! Or where have you been all my life?
Tell your man how awesome he is in the bedroom – this one definitely ranks at the top of his list! A guy dies to hear how good he is at the skills he works so hard to perfect right from his teeny days.

What would I do without you?
Guys love to feel needed. Whether it is to help you understand bank work or simply open a jam jar — it is one of the greatest feelings for a man that you can’t live without them. Cuddle him and tell him it would have been impossible for you to do anything without him.

Crave to spend more time with you
Sometimes you need to connect with his inner being as well. No matter how much you compliment on his looks or his skills – your efforts will go to waste if you don’t let him know how much you love him and want to be with him. Tell him that it is his innate characteristics that draw you closer to him.

Boy you are excellent at your job!
Praising your guy’s brain power is a must! Every guy wants to know that he is awesome at his task. Go that extra mile and tell him how much you admire him for the way he shows his dedication and loyalty towards his work. This one will touch him….really!

You’re so freaking hot! Mention the part of his body that turns you on
This is one compliment that will instantly lift his spirits. Complimenting a guy on his good looks is okay, but it is a different thing altogether to tell him what makes him so desirable – serve up his accolade, gently touch his body parts to add an extra sizzle to it.

Realistic Approach in Fighting Tooth Decay in Children

Roughly 42 percent of children ages 2 to 11 have had decay in their primary teeth, while approximately 32 percent of children ages 9 to 11 have decay in their permanent teeth. Tooth decay among children is a growing problem and it needs to be curbed fast. Tooth decay is as a result of eating habits found in children and unfortunately, encouraged by parents due to lack of education. Even the government is not helping in setting guidelines to control the sugar and beverage companies.

                                                  

Experts agree that controlling the consumption of sugary meals in children is a tough one and this has led to rise in tooth decay cases among children. "Sugary foods and sticky candies can be difficult for children to resist, but they are a serious source of tooth decay, particularly when they get stuck in the crevices between teeth," says Scott Cayouette, DMD, FAGD, spokesperson for the AGD. "Additionally, many children consume large amounts of soft drinks and sports drinks, which are known to have a high acidic pH and sugar content—a recipe for disaster in terms of tooth decay." These dietary factors—combined with the possibility that children are drinking more unfluoridated tap or bottled water—might explain why the rates of tooth decay are rising.

Consumption of sugary candies causes tooth decay

The following steps can help battle tooth decay in children;

Although it's vital for all patients to brush and floss every day, since almost all children are addicted to sweetened foods, their oral health can be improved by adding xylitol to their daily oral hygiene routine. According to the monthly newsmagazine of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) . Xylitol is a natural sugar that doesn't cause cavities and can actually help to prevent them."

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol found naturally in trees, fruits, and vegetables. It's also found naturally in the human liver, which is why it is safe for humans to consume. Unlike table sugar, which breaks down in the mouth and creates an acidic, cavity-promoting pH, xylitol does not break down and therefore does not create any harmful acids. Xylitol can befound in an array of products —including candies, mints, lemonade mixes, all-purpose sweeteners, and certain brands of chewing gum—which can help patients fight cavities without forcing them to drastically change their daily oral hygiene regimen.

Research suggests that patients should consume between six and ten grams, or three to five servings, of xylitol per day. "It's also important for patients to consume xylitol throughout the day and not all at once," Dr. Cayouette says. "The more often that xylitol interacts with the bacteria in your mouth, the better—that way, it's always fighting cavities."

Healthy eating habits like including vegetables and fruits in the daily diets of children should be encouraged. Instead of including sweet drinks and candies in children’s’ lunch bag, oranges should be squeezed and placed in the drinking bottles. Carry the kids along when selecting the types of fruits to include in their lunch bags.

Take time to visit the nutritionist and dentists regularly as they provide expert ways of creating varieties in terms of food that will still look attractive to children and general mouth hygiene respectively.

11 Bizzare but True Health Tips. These tips are really strange and funny, but take time and really ponder on them……they are simple ways to kick the body into shape

Change Your Name- billions of people don’t know it, but is truly true that you live your name

People with "positive" initials—ones that spell out things like J.O.Y. or W.O.W.—live nearly 4 1/2 years longer than people with neutral initials. D.U.D.'s and A.S.S.'s who live nearly 3 years less. Other initials that may shorten life: I.L.L. and D.E.D.

Use the First Stall
After analyzing public restrooms, experts found that the stall closest to the restroom door consistently had the lowest bacteria levels. The first stall probably sees less traffic because it's near the door and people want privacy. And most importantly, when you're finished, stand before you flush. When toilets are flushed, a fine mist of water containing contagious bacteria sprays up. You can catch intestinal bugs and hepatitis from it.

Splint a Broken Arm with a Magazine
To make an impromptu cast, place your wrist palm-down on top of a thick magazine. Roll the magazine into a U-shaped cradle and secure it with tape, an ace bandage, or long strips torn from a shirt. 

Good diet, water, exercise and proper rest is a must for good health

Accuse Others of Taking Your Keys- this is a fun way of telling your mind/body to ‘’brace up’’
Researchers have suggested that there's a marked difference between how younger and older people interpret misplacing their car keys or personal belongings. A young guy usually blames it on someone else: "Who took my damn keys?" An old man typically blames it on himself: "I must be getting old. I misplaced my keys again." Never use your age as an excuse whenever you misplace things. This trick on your mind makes you younger and keeps your mind sharp.

Use a scratch to cure a scratch
While your hand is under a cast, itchy skin is a major problem. To solve the problem, try scratching the same place on the other arm or foot. This may trick your brain into thinking you're scratching the real itch. And don’t worry, your brain wont discover the trick, ‘cause you don’t break bones often……….Hehehehheh!

Cold compress brings down a high a fever

Anything up to 102°F is mild and can be treated by drinking plenty of fluids. But to quickly bring down a reading above that, put an ice pack under your arm or near your groin. Icing either spot will cool your body's core. It's uncomfortable, but it works fast. Then see a doctor.

Green Apples are so cool

If you get claustrophobic in confined places such as subways, aircraft, elevators, and that closet of an office they stuck you in, visit your local fruit stand. A sniff of green apples may help relieve claustrophobic sensations. Carry one with you.

Disinfect a Wound with Honey
Pour a dab of honey on a cut before covering it with a bandage. Believe it or not, honey has powerful antibacterial properties. A recent study found that it was capable of destroying almost all strains of the most common wound-infecting bacteria.

Pepper don’t only sting
Next time you nick yourself in the kitchen, reach for the black peeper container. Run cold water over the wound to clean it, using soap if you were handling meat. Then sprinkle on the pepper and apply pressure. In no time, the bleeding will stop. Turns out, black pepper has analgesic, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties. It isn’t only for spicing your food.

Another reason to get a pet
To lower your risk of heart attack and stroke, get a dog. Numerous studies show that petting a dog keeps blood pressure under control when you're stressed.

Flush Away Trouble- I like this tip; it’s my favourite
Ever notice how satisfying it is to flush a toilet, especially if it's one of those airport monsters? Think of this next tip as a stress laxative—a bit strange, but guaranteed to be gentle and effective: Before you go to bed, put some small strips of flushable paper and a pencil in the bathroom. The following morning, take a seat and write down the names of all the people or situations in your life that are causing you angst. Then throw them in the bowl and flush. You'll be amazed at how great this feels and works.

5 Must-Match Areas for a Happy Relationship Lookout for these signs before the relationship starts

Many relationships are founded on very poor foundations and that is why many relationships break before they even get started. However, when looking for a partner, there's no longer a need to go out to a pub or the library and hope your perfect one walks through the door. You can decide in detail who to search for, up to the size of her or his shoe. Yet once you meet away from the screen, reality sets in. How can you know if your date's a good fit?

1) Values

We all have guideposts to help us move through life and create a path we can be proud of and happy about. Consider which values are non-negotiable and which have wiggle room. Some vegetarians, for example, lead happy lives with carnivores while others wouldn't go out on a date with them. Similarly, if you and your date have conflicting religious or political believes, you might face additional challenges. It doesn't mean the relationship won't work, yet it's definitely something to consider.

Compatibility before a relationship starts is very essential

2) Sense of Humor

A sense of humor is one of the more diverse traits humanity has. People find different things funny and they bring up humor at all kinds of times. A sense of humor can reflect how a person lives her or his life, how they treat others and themselves and what they value, so pay attention to your partner's sense of humor and to how she or he responds to yours.

3) The Way You Express Love

Some people like to talk and others like to show. Some view expressing love as buying each other elaborate gifts while others prefer simple, daily gestures. Some are romantics and others mix love with cynicism. Some goof around all the time and others need serious moments. Think of how you'd like to express your love for your partner and how you'd like your partner to express love for you. You could teach each other how to treat you, but don't go into a relationship hoping you'll change them down the line.

4) Your Goals and Dreams

Whether you want to have kids, where you want to live and how much money you're comfortable having are just the beginning. Are you career-driven and your partner is not? Do you love the thrill of entrepreneurship while they need the security of a regular job? Are you all about self-growth and they don't deal well with change? Do you want to travel the world and live a nomadic lifestyle and your partner prefers the community that comes with setting roots? You don't need to have identical goals and dreams for the relationship to last – and compromise is part of any relationship – yet consider in advance what you're willing to compromise and what you can't live without.

5) Your Relationships with Yourselves

How much you love yourself and invest in your own life is how much you'll be truly emotionally available to love another. Don't look to be someone's better half, but your own full person building a richer life with another full person. Create a healthy relationship with your body, your mind and your soul, and choose someone who's creating a healthy relationship with her or himself. That's ingredient number one for a healthy relationship with each other.

Suffering a Sex Slump? Here are Tips to get Your Mojo Back for the Weekend. • Factors ranging from bad lovers, emotional health and lack of a good night’s sleep affects libido Not accepting that there is a problem, aggravates the situation

How to get your mojo back (back in the mood):

Get a good night's sleep. 

Disturbed sleep leads to a reduction in the male hormone testosterone, which boosts both your libidos.

Take responsibility for your libido. 

Don't expect your partner to turn you on, do it yourself! Make it your mission to pinpoint what gets you in the mood for sex then do more of it.

Let your imagination loose. 

Don't be ashamed of your fantasies and refuse to feel guilty if having sex with someone other than your partner is one of them. Being unfaithful in reality isn't on but it's OK to do it in your head. Really. One survey found around 75% of us do it to keep sex fresh.

Many factors contribute to a healthy relationship between couples 

Meet halfway. 

If you don't want intercourse, what about oral sex? If you don't want oral sex or any sex yourself, do you mind pleasuring them? At the very least, you can and should be able to offer the physical intimacy of a cuddle.

Focus on sex, don't avoid it. 

If you're constantly being hassled for it, sex is often the last thing you want to watch or read about. Low libido people often avert their eyes when they see nudity, a sexy scene on telly or in the movies or flip the page if they hit a story in the newspapers or glossies.

Don't. It's just as easy to think yourself into sex than it is to talk yourself out of it and the more often you expose yourself to sexy literature and images, the sexier you'll feel.

Know what you want and need to be satisfied sexually. 

And I'm talking both in, and out of, bed. If you need to relax first, don't be scared to ask for a massage. Or for them to do the dishes while you take a bath or shower.

Give sex a high priority in your life. 

If you're avoiding it or not interested, chances are it's the last thing you do, last thing at night. Well – Gosh! – funnily enough, even high sex drive people sometimes wonder if it's worth the effort when they're exhausted after a long day at work.

Get into a routine where you and your partner have chat-time then sex before you start dinner and switch the TV on. Or if you really are too stressed during the week, have breakfast in bed on the weekends and make that sex time. 

Get your body clocks in sync. 

A morning person matched with a night time one? If this is you, take turns on the time of day you make love. And try sex mid morning, midday and mid afternoon, not just morning or night

Sex does NOT equal intercourse. 

Plenty of people (women especially) don't orgasm through intercourse alone, so tend to find penetrative sex quite boring. If sex is boring, it's no wonder you're not desperate to dive into bed! The more you mix up what you do, the higher the interest.

Don't relax! 

Instead, focus on the erotic sensations you're feeling. Tighten the muscles of your thighs, bottom, lower tummy and pelvic floor muscles to help trigger an orgasmic reflex.

Set up a craving cycle. 

Without wanting to point out the obvious, orgasms feel good. If something feels good, our body – quite logically – says 'more please' and sulks if we don't obey by developing either psychological or physical cravings when denied it’s high. 

The more sex you have, the more you want. We quickly forget how great sex can be. Have good sex often and you're constantly reminded of all the physical and emotional pluses.

'Love has no sexual preference': The tearful moment two dads meet their newborn son for the first time

For two first-time fathers, seeing their son, Milo, gave them great joy and according to them it was an overwhelming and emotional moment. Canadian photographer Lindsay Foster photographed the poignant moment that BJ Barone and Frankie Nelson broke down in tears as they welcomed their first child into the world. Milo was born via an unrelated gestational carrier on July 26, the carrier did not use her own eggs and she was very happy to have given this gift,' Ms Foster explained. 

Nelson and Barone welcoming their son; Love don't cost a thing

Ms. Foster, who said she spent hours with the two fathers, said that they were well-prepared for the birth, but that did nothing to lessen their excitement and anxiety. 'They asked all appropriate questions of the birthing mom and the midwife and educated themselves as best as they could for their son’s arrival,' she said. She also revealed that Mr. Nelson and his partner were shirtless for the birth because skin-to-skin contact is reported to be beneficial to newborns.

                    Baby Milo couldnt wait himself to his papas

So far, Mr. Barone and Mr Nelson seem to be loving parenthood. 'We are so lucky that we have a beautiful, healthy baby boy!',' they wrote on Ms Foster's Facebook page - the photo, which has so far captured thousands of hearts, has garnered 6,111 likes so far. The men said that they will respect all comments, positive and negative, writing: 'This is a moment of pure love and acceptance. Milo is surrounded by unconditional love and he will grow up knowing many different types of families and accept everyone, (intolerant people included).' 

They added: 'Love has no color nor gender nor sexual preference. Love is unconditional.'

Suffering a Sex Slump? Find out Here What kills Your Bedroom Mojo. • However, there are several things you can do to increase your libido • Small things like exhaustion and stress can decrease sex drive.

Stressful jobs, fractious relationships, parenting, that monotonous commute - all combine to rob us of desiring our partners. If sex is just another chore rather than something you look forward to, chances are one or more of the following is to blame. Pinpoint the problem, then keep reading for some practical solutions.

''Relationships problems: feeling frustrated, angry or resentful toward partner or guilty, sad or ashamed over something you've done to them can affect the intimacy between partners''.

Communication gaps is a major problem that affects sex between couples

Reasons why you don’t feel the ''hots''

Physical

·         A bad lover: monotonous techniques eventually leads to zero desire.

·         Exhaustion and stress

·         Poor general health or chronic illness

·         Excessive alcohol or drug abuse

·         A reaction to medication/recreational drugs

·         Depression

·         Low hormone levels.

·         Menopause, periods and pregnancy all alter our levels of desire.

·         Pelvic surgery (like hysterectomy) which has deadened nerve endings in the genital region.

·         No chemistry with partner.

Emotional

·         Low self-esteem or low sexual self-esteem

·         A bad body image; not loving your body

·         Poor sex education

·         A traumatic, earlier sexual experience

·         A history of unsatisfactory sex.

·       A strict religious upbringing which taught us sex is ‘bad' and other negative sexual attitudes

·       Communication problems which stops us telling our partner what triggers, we need to tip us over the orgasm edge.

·         Lack of trust

·        Tension – unresolved relationship conflicts resulting it one or both of you withholding sex as a punishment.

All these problems can be resolved when there is two way communication between partners. Where there is trust, patience and love, these problems can be solved. Watch out for the concluding part tomorrow, however, it would be nice if we take time and really appreciate the factors that affect our sex lives and make concerted efforts with our partners in resolving them.
