Effects Of Marijuana On Sex..

 

Many think smoking a jane has no effect to our sex lives,..Many guys would want to smoke some few puffs before having intercourse thinking they will feel much love in action,some force their partners to also smoke before they start heavy petting .

Marijuana can cause serious sexual problems in many couples. Smoking a jane might make you think you're feeling the love, but studies show marijuana can be detrimental to your sex life.Here i list some effects..


  • Marijuana users might experience very weak orgasms or not experience them at all



  •   To some people marijuana make them lose interest in sex, feel too lethargic for sex, or too self-conscious to enjoy it. 

  • Some raise questions asking if Marijuana affects a man's fertility? marijuana to contribute to erectile dysfunction is unknown but Men who smoke marijuana frequently have significantly less seminal fluid, a lower total sperm count and their sperm behave abnormally, all of which may affect fertility.

  • Marijuana amplify one's pre-existing personality traits: paranoia; fearfulness; gregariousness; anxiety; aggressiveness, etc. And, these factors don't jump out the window when you jump into bed .


  • As a rule, habitual use of marijuana or any illicit substance will lead to long-term detrimental consequences on one's sexual health and function, as well as general health and well-being.

  • Smoking up impairs both coordination and judgment, much in the same way that alcohol use does. So, making safe and comfortable decisions about sexual behavior might be difficult, and interactions might be filled with a lot of fumbling. Let's face it: sex can take a lot of coordination, even while completely sober!

  •  long-term use of marijuana does seem to affect reproductive health. Marijuana can impact testosterone production and other hormones. This can in turn can affect fertility, erectile dysfunction, menstruation, and other areas. Also, heavy, long-term marijuana use can either cause or contribute to low motivation and sex drive.

  • The Flintstones

It’s so old, that the first two seasons were actually in black and white.Really Black and white? prime-time American television sitcom that was broadcast from September 30, 1960, to April 1, 1966, on ABC...The show is set in the Stone Age town of Bedrock. (In some of the earlier episodes, it was also referred to as "Rockville".) In this fantasy version of the past, dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, woolly mammoths, and other long-extinct animals co-exist with cavemen. Like their mid-20th century counterparts, these cavemen listen to records, live in split-level homes, and eat out at restaurants, yet their technology is made entirely from pre-industrial materials and largely powered through the use of animals. For example, the cars are made out of stone, wood, and animal skins, and powered by the passengers' feet (as in the theme song, "Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet").

A Seth Macfarlane adult series,The series centers on the Griffins, a dysfunctional family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie; and their anthropomorphic pet dog Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island, and exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture.My favorite character is Stewie, Stewie is a diabolical infant son of ambiguous sexual orientation who has adult mannerisms and uses stereotypical archvillain phrases.
  • South Park

Why Every young man should Dress well..

 


I always think that every man should dress well since it improves your self esteem ,today am to speak of my fellow blooming friends,i always say being young is a crucial stage ,i think dressing well at a young age is so crux.I don't mean to say Old-man shouldn't dress to kill ,many of them old dudes have a well fixed wardrobe and they know how to put on those tuxedo's .

I welcome argument for this post since not every young dude out there thinks of dressing perfectly well ,and their those who think its so OK looking like crap..so here are some reasons that make me arguably think all men should dress well.



Dressing well improves your self esteem/it improves inordinately or exaggeratedly favorable impression of oneself.

 


Believe it or not, it helps keep things in perspective.  You live in your clothes.  Things will happen to your clothes.  At some point you’re going to spill something on a favorite pair of shoes or shirt… and y’know what?  It’s just stuff.
 
 


Dressing well makes people take you so serious even if they really don't know who you are.
 
 


Dressing well will make you gain trust from different elderly people,as young as you are dressing 
smart might bring you more deals than you ever expected.
 
 


We have heard of cities where policeman just roam around to pick on those who look like crap,thinking they are burglars..dressing well will save you from this.
 
 


Your hand shake will seem stronger.
 
 


flawless Beautiful girls will all think you are a real man,and you will easily have of your choice.
 
 


You get more attention when you visit any office may it be Bank,Zantel Shop,Law Firm or even KFC.

                                               
 
 


Your ex girlfriend will always seem regretful ,thinking you have become a better man not that boy 
who used to drop his pants and wearing a Fitch stripped vest,with countless number of fake gold hanging.
 
 


Dressing well makes you 40% more handsome
 
 


Sometimes you will get more offers on drinks and lunch.
 
                              

Everyone will want to hangout with you,they all think your super awesome.

 


With a smile and confident eye contact, you can look like you belong just about anywhere.

 


Girls will think you own a fortune in that tuxedo,they will always think you are that super millionaire.

 

 It’s about potential.  Most want to max out their personal potential.  Maximizing your potential, at surface level, often includes how you present yourself.  That includes your clothes.  And they certainly don’t have to be expensive to help you reach the level of confidence you deserve.

 

Shining a great pair of shoes is sort of like hand washing a really cool car.

 


Pals will always want you to help them pick up some costumes,some will ask you to design their wedding outfits ..you don't believe this ask Sheria Ngowi.
.
 


Some girls find it sexy when we take off our blazers/jackets..
 


As a younger guy, you give all those older gentlemen hope.
 

 


Bartenders seem to keep a good eye on you for when you need another drink.


You can easily pick up a lie...You can tell people you are a manager at a certain firm and they will always trust you. 


What else do you think is missing?? comment!!

Big Brother Africa All About Coupling



Since day one, Sierra Leone’s Bolt and Ethiopia’s beauty Betty have shared a bed. Since then they have done a lot more than share a bed. From jealous lovers to making out, the pair have done it all only for them to be separated on Sunday when Betty was evicted from the Big Brother Africa (BBA) house.

Holding on to each other so tight, it was sad to watch the two bid each other farewell. Now Bolt has to plot for another game plan. It makes you think that maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing that LK4 and Koketso were evicted on the same day. Also evicted on Sunday was Botswana’s Motamma. Her exit was nothing to write home about simply because she has not been paired up with anyone unlike her other housemates.

Coupling is what BBA critics are against the most because it encourages housemates to make out which seems to be the only thing on most of this year’s housemates’ minds. Some of the scenes in BBA The Chase are too sensual that they are not aired on the main BBA channel 198 and can only be viewed on Big Brother VIP.

Some don’t even make it there. It goes without saying that such increases the show’s rating. The introduction of the award for the most romantic gestures and the rendezvous room for couples and friends, provide more avenues for intimacy. From a critic’s eye, that means more immorality. Big Brother seems to be encouraging it. And the fact that housemates are moved from house to house making them change who to pair with frequently doesn’t help matters.
The couples

So we have Feza who has moved on from only holding hands with Oneal to kissing. Theirs seemed real only for her to declare her love for Melvin on Saturday when housemates from both houses partied together.
And word in the Big Brother circles is that Selly made out with Nando and yet on Saturday, she eagerly told Sulu (the two flirted a lot when in the same house) that she misses him and can’t wait to switch houses to his on Friday.

Pokello who is being pursued by Elikem was on Saturday flirting endlessly with the handsome Tanzanian housemate Nando. Elikem is also pursuing Fatima. Africa hadn’t seen him clearly when it gave the title of player to LK4. There’s also Hakeem and Cleo and many others. Without forgeting the "friend with benefits" thing between Nando and Selly. As the days go by, we should be seeing more couples and change of pairs. Whether this is a good or bad thing, is a personal opinion.
---------------------
Romantic Gestures
Week one: Hakeem asked Cleo on a date which scored them victory in that week.
Week two: Koketso and LK4 were the winners for the strawberries and cream treat she fed him.
Week three: Hakeem’s gifts to Cleo in the Rendezvous Room won that week’s most romantic Gesture.
Week four: The battle is between Bimp’s piggyback rides for Beverly and Elikem’s surprise breakfast in bed treat for Pokello.

Bongo So Called Star Search




So this year’s, EBSS is back with the motto  'KAMUA' will take place in six regions which are Mbeya, Arusha, Zanzibar, Mwanza, Dodoma and Dar es Salaam.

I have been watching the show since the first season and I just love that it has created a lot of stars, really wish i remembered their names . I would hate to see the show die because it has sentimental meaning to so many Tanzanians,since it can be that desired platform to probable stardom.

Over the years,without any notable mainstream contestant the show has gain more popularity maybe largely to the hefty pockets of its main sponsor or Madam Ritha's exquisite charms. Nonetheless I believe this year around they will be able to see their negativity and maybe manage to overcome them. We just need a superstar out of the show.

Off course its plain sight their ordinary ensemble of judges has become boring and their rather repetitious in their empty comments. Maybe they should bring in somebody new to add that extra excitement. It won't be bad if Madam Ritha herself steps down and put somebody more dynamic as a judge, since she is the CEO i don't think it will put any strain in her finances compared to the rest of the judges. 

However the show is still of a large significance in our country and if improved it will benefit the country as whole. Maybe i just want to see something like the Coca Cola pop star, that cheap contest which paved the way to stardom for Shaa, Witness and Langa (RIP)..Its just sad and funny seeing the winners of Bongo Star Search directionless and surprisingly still poor, whereas the sponsors,directors and other internal personnel laugh straight to the bank in the end of the day

"Clouds" The Most Moving Song Ever


"When faced with months to live, how do you say goodbye?" Like so many other terminally ill cancer patients before him, Zach Sobiech turned to music. Though in this instance, the 17-year-old musician from Lakeland, Minn. is facing his situation with a touching song, titled "Clouds."



After battling bone cancer for three years, Minnesota teenager Zach Sobiech was told this past May that the disease had spread and that there were no longer any effective treatments available.

In response to this disheartening diagnosis, Sobiech embraced music as a way of bidding farewell to his friends and family. The resulting song, titled "Clouds," is an inspirational and courageous message of hope in the face of a harrowing

 Zach Sobiech passed away May 20, 2013. Our hearts and prayers are with his family and friends. We are forever touched by his story. Thank you for sharing your life and music with us Zach. You will be dearly missed and loved.



 Beautiful song that I'll hum forever. What a talented boy whose bravery and grace have left a big mark on this world. How many people who live into old age can make that claim?

Types of Traditional African Jewelry

Precious stones, such as diamonds and jade, as well as precious metals, such as gold and silver, are common in jewelry around the world. What about in Africa? How many types of African jewelry - jewelry originating in Africa, or made in Africa, or worn in Africa - do you know?

1. Beads


Beadwork is common across Africa. Famous for their beadwork, made into necklaces and bangles or arm bands, are the Maasai and the Samburu of Kenya, as well as South Africans.

2. Bone



Bone is an excellent material for carving earrings, necklaces and even bangles. Bone is usually animal bone, readily available from slaughter houses. Bone is an excellent replacement for ivory, the use of which endangers the existence of elephants.

3. Clay
 

Red or white clay can be formed into beads, to make earrings, necklaces and arm bands. Clay jewelry can also be painted into any colours of choice.


4. Animal Teeth


Like bone, animal teeth are an excellent replacement for ivory, and are readily available at slaughter houses.

5. Metals

Many African cultures do have a tradition of metal work. The Hima women of southern Africa, for example, wear heavy metal bands around the feet and the arms. Metals used for jewelry in Africa include copper, iron, bronze, gold or silver. In west Africa, gold smithing is a well-developed art, with elaborate pieces of jewelry being fashioned out of gold.
Bronze was also used for forms of art such as statues.

6. Plant Material



Plant material is a favourite source of jewelry, because the materials are cheap and readily available. Earrings and arm bands can be plaited or woven out of straw, rushes or banana leaves.
My favourite earrings ever (and they have lasted over 25 years!) are made of neatly plaited banana leaf.

7. Stone



Sandstone is a type of stone found mainly in eastern Kenya. It is soft and easy to carve, into figures and statures, but also into earrings and arm bands. Sandstone can be painted into colours of choice after carving.

8. Horn



Animal horn is a favourite material for making jewelry in Africa, because the colour of earrings or necklaces carved from horn is distinctive, and varies in an unpredictable - and therefore interesting - way. Additionally, animal horn is readily available at a low cost.

9. Wood



Wooden jewelry is common and beloved in Africa. Wood can be painted or varnished at will, after carving. Wood makes beautiful wide arm bands or bangles, large but light earrings and elegant necklaces.

10. Leather




Leather work is well-developed in Africa, especially for making furnishings and bags. But leather is also used to fashion arm bands, woven necklaces and even earrings. The leather comes from domestic animals, and occasionally, wild life.

12. Feathers



Birds such as peacocks, cranes, flamingoes and ostriches have beautiful feathers in uniques colours and quality, which are occasionally fashioned into earrings. Caution is in order, however, so as not to endanger the various bird species.


13. Animal Hair


Earrings and arm bands made of plaited wild life hair, such as elephant or giraffe hair are rare, and valued accordingly.



14. Ivory


Despite all international effort to deter it, ivory does find its way into the hands of artisans, who fashion figures and jewelry out of it, sometimes illegally. When one considers the cost in elephant lives and suffering, it is clear that horn, animal teeth and bone are better alternatives.


15. Precious stone



Of course there is precious stone in Africa too. Diamonds, tanzanite, jasper, opals, topaz and quarz, out of which beautiful jewelry are made.

Most African jewelry tend to be flamboyant and inexpensive...
