I did a ten week interactive course in "People Skills" , there were about 13 of us that signed up and that's that's where I met Clarissa. Her sister, Cleo, just one year older than her had signed up for the program too. Our tutor was a 52 year old lady, who broke it down for us, the basic communication skills used in relating with people either as counsellors, interviewers and even in normal daily life.

LMFAO at this post! My dear ride on lol. I agree with you on some points and then I disagree with you on some. Yes its a woman commenting so there is bound to be some argument. I do have a question though. Does sex in a meaningful relationship ever become off-center, i.e no longer the center of the life dart board? If it does then how does the relationship now function when the reason for being in the relationship is no longer the reason for staying.
You're a Fool for this one.
Infect wait make I reach my computer begin to address you proproly. Onye Iberibe.
Ehen, i don land, make i begin to dey answer you.
First, lemme just state that i no follow for ndi Santa Maria but......... I know a few.
I also need to call bullshit on that comment about men always having reason to cheat. Y'all ain't shit. You just do it just because.
Now on this No Sex matter, i have sometimes wondered about it myself, like how do they do it, and as much as i agree that sex kinda sorta helps bond formation between two people, i know couples that are very much in love, without the sex. They find other things to do, activities to engage in that are in no way sexual, spend their time getting to know each other and what not.
And it works for them.
I almost unfollowed somebody on twitter for saying that females who choose to enter relationships when they are not ready to have sex are idiots. it's not that serious.
You're lucky i love you :*
After this long sermon, i'd just like to say that ummmmm......sex is kinda tres, very important in the relationship life of Mizchif biko kwa. It's half the incentive to give up this "glorious" single life.
Oya give me back my name jare, how can you be saying such a thing eh? if you no like the no sex clause, go and hug transformer, lol.... It is the woman's prerogative o.
One man's perspective.
Again, you are only one man. I also don't think you can speak for all the 3+ billion males on earth. So, as absurd to you as it may sound, yes there are men who do not have sex in their relationships just yet.
I totally agree with this post... I might have to modify the "Men always have an excuse/reason for cheating" clause though... Sometimes, the reason isn't a flaw in the relationship- it's just dick.
Moving on, though... I do think the only situation in which one who is not ready to have sex can enter into a relationship is under a religious setting. The whole "do not be unequally yoked" thing... If you are the lead chorister dating the head usher of the church and you BOTH commit to abstain from premarital sex- then it's fine. BUT... The idea that you as a woman can just go into a relationship with an average guy and expect him to understand that "you're not ready" is some naive bullshit. If there's no common bond/agreement (as in the case of religion), it is just plain dumb to expect a guy to be ok with a non-kpanshing situation. It just makes no sense.
And yes... Relationships are fundamentally based on sex. Sex and/or sexual attraction is the root of romantic love. If not, why do you love your best friend, but are not "in love with them". Your closest friends have probably known you for longer than your significant other, seen you through more shit, they probably even know you better than the person you are dating (you know you form a little when you like someone, lol)... But... it's the attraction that takes the relationship from the platonic to romantic level. A good boyfriend is basically a really good friend whom you're attracted to and have sex with... My two cents...
Lmao! Sugarking Cockroach Caterpiller ke? :)) Hilarious as this may be. It is true. Sex is necessary so i've come to realize. I disagree when its based on it though. But it definitely brings intimacy between couples.
I TOTALLY disagree with you on this one. Personally, I know guys who are of the NO SEX school of thought, and not because they cant 'get it up' but because they've chosen the path and it works.
However, everyone to his own right?
This post is tres funny. I have a little comment tho. I know girls that have EXPRESSLY stated that they have no desire to have sex yet. Who go into the relationship on the basis that the guys understand that they are not ready. These guys go into this relationship with the intention to change this desire. That is hardly fair, if you were made aware from the onset that there would be no sex. Those guys only have themselves to blame. And I personally feel a female's attitude to sex is different from a male's: y'all give it, we take it. It doestake some getting ready for. But, hilarious post, nonetheless.
Well, you are a guy so you can mouth off all you want..msheeew.
Sex in a relationship is important -but definitely the icing not the cake. Great companionship trumps it anytime. And as some people can do without icing on cake...so too sex.
I think the bigger issue about why girls are leery of sex is 'where/when does it end'. I like Bayo we hit it off. great chemistry, sex. You think he is the one, then Bayo dumps me. Okay move on..Emeka, same circle and before you know it you have iced some many cakes.
Abeg, let the girl be, 'I am not ready' is an excellent self preserving excuse!
Co-sign with Ginger on everything!!
post was funny but i disagree on all counts.
i just have a question?
so what do u say about 'no sex until marriage'?
going by ur discourse, i think i can safely say u are totally against it.. testing the goods and what not.
Well, i happen to be of that school of thot(no sex before marriage and all) so what do u think i do, never get married? because to marry, i have to date and u say we shudnt date if we arent going to have sex with the guy... so WHAT TO DO?? i think u need another post to address this issue.
Patiently waiting. cos it does bother me that guys think like u do.
my thoughts exactly as Anonymous's (right above mine).
patiently waiting too bt also patiently prayin bcos if all guy's r like u, then I def need divine help in findin the right guy to marry b4 sex.
I just want to let you know that many successful marriages have evolved from no-sex relationships. Sex is said to be contribute to intimacy but not the most important in a relationship.
LOL to the highest degree. I was hoping for the punch line at the end, the twist at the end where you'll be like "LMAOO just kidding!!!111!1!!" etc etc but sadly it never came lol
I guess my opinions dont really count cos well i've not had that 'first sex' yet, but imho it definitely has to be more than sex sha. and i respect to the highest degree any woman that shares similar values - hot hot hottt! sex is just a piece of the pie, and definitely not right in the middle of the dart board.
i rest my case sha, more to come but - make i go cook rice for madam lol
Ah oboy no cause WW3 o! I'm a guy and I'm not a fan of playing away matches.
Relationship terms should be talked about before they become official. From the ones with no smashing to the ones where one person is smashing to the ones where both people are smashing other people. It is what you make it.
Also, you'd be surprised to know that many people can actually pull off the sex buddy thing with no strings attached. We're al built differently.
PS: How many freaking types of doggy are there anyway? lol. Kai!
Lol Ginger. Self preservation oh, else who knows how many frogs she'd have to sleep with before she gets to her prince, and then admit it, you'd call her a whore wouldn't you.
Besides, it's a good way to sift out guys hehe :p
Adiya
thanks ginger.. and all who are not with our guy on this matter,
there are boys and there are men.
discipline is part of being a man.
Dear Sugarking,
Am a guy & i want to tel u u've started WW3 wit dis topic so lik Hitler, start lookin 4 ur leeway.u'l face attacks frm all sorts of ppl includin HYPOCRITES.
I agree with u on almost all count charge.For all males(except d insignificant few) SEX is right in d middle of d dart.Though 4 a healthy relationship it is gud dat sex shud be som other place. when it comes to sex women seem tend to think with their heads while men mostly think with their pen**.A woman is a woman cos of her ability to giv her man sex amongst other things.It will take some form of congenital malformation,mental deteroriation or possibly some spiritual rebirth or brain washing for a man to be in a relationship without sex being the seen it all,done it all & she is mine of d relationship.
THROW THE BOMBS!LOL!
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! I disagree to a large extent..not that it matters. You write well. LOOL
And this is the first time he makes a generalization that is not totally correct...
Not all men are the same. Religion does have an effect on the mind and the mind oversees the exuberant body.
Maybe all men want sex? But not all men actively pursue it or build a relationship around it.
Sugarkingg your posts never disappoint!
I was laughing from start to finish
Caterpillar ke? Only you Sugarkingg, Only you!!!
I BADLY NEED TO BELIEVE THAT A RELATIONSHIP CAN WORK WITH A NO SEX CLAUSE if its for the right reasons
yes, I have stated my point
I said 'believe' botherline hope sef
(What are the right reasons you may ask?
Good, i shall blog about that pretty soon)
but really... there shud be a few men out there SOMEWHERE who would agree to a no sex clause
So back to Clarissa, i guess you dont want her anymore no? even if she's single right now? mtshewww! Lol
free the peeps who say no sex
Lol, i'm with Taynement
lol. i remember this discussion we had on twitter.lol, i do not think you can speak for all men.the post was funny anyways.
ginger is 100% right.
A relationship can survive without sex jo. Caveman days are over. However, both have to be committed to it. If one person is jonesing it aint gonna work.
Well, thankfully you are not all men. There are some that abstain for the sake of their beliefs. It is even sweeter when both of you are working towards marriage. I am no saint but if I were to have slept with every guy that I have dated...our Naija society would term me a Heaux and its the same man like SK that will judge me lol.
Good piece jo, you are very funny. Don't be making generalizations sha, your inability to have a relationship without sex does not mean other men can't.
Interesting....
I do not agree with you,
You cannot speak for all men.
There a lot of men who 'for a greater future' agree to no sex , just yet, and relationships survive even without sex.
I am sure you know the mind is the greatest sex organ, Some men have learn t to train their mind to wait. You are right...All men want sex, priest or Bishop!
I agree with 'Afrosays"...that
"Not all men are the same. Religion does have an effect on the mind and the mind oversees the exuberant body".
Sex was created for two people to bond( if they are both married) not for two single people who really dont have any business being together, because like u said 'sex creates a bond" which is why breaking up is harder for females; a bond is there, thats meant to be unbreakable. I especially don't agree with ur whole thing about men needing to be 'checked' if they dont want to have sex with a woman...real men preserve their womans purity until he makes a life long commitment to her, not seek to conquer it, or do u think u won't have daughters? what will u tell them? " honey, now u know how guys are, if you don't have sex with them, they'll leave u"... Sex adds absolutely no value to the relationship(outside of marriage),its actually the very thing that is keeping the relationship going, its the center of it and it sometimes becomes the only thing that the couple do.So when the sex starts to go bad, then, oh. There goes the relationship.
This is as ignorant as it is hilarious!
@SK, like my man naeto-c says, as u dey make dem pronounce tufiakwa, just carry yo shoulder! dey no born dem well!! Lol...
haha gotta love the way you write.
i wont even get into the debate of sex in a relationship or not.. boys and girls just have totally different views..
sauniya'
Dude! U are one fearless writer. I may not agree with ur views, being a guy and all, bt I respect someone who can make a claim and stand by his words - especially after the fire burn from Ms. Mizchif upstairs. Lol. Plus U're hilarious! Na only U dey carry all the chicks for ur area sha. Nothing do U. Keep it coming. Even if you have to ruffle a lotta feathers.
Oh SugarKing... *sigh* I do love you though Haha!
Some of the best cakes in a bakery don't have icing... xx
