Things Guys Don't Know About Sex

Last week, I wrote Things Girls Don't Know About Sex in my weekly Love column on MyfatPocket.com

Since then there have been requests for the version for men... so I've thought long and hard about it.. and here's my list of Things Guys Don't Know About Sex. (Do add on in the comments section if I have left anything out!)

Guys, no matter how big your ego, .. or penis..., no matter how many notches on your bedpost, here are the things I bet you didn't know about sex!

1. Women want you to make noise

Yes, you know women can fake orgasms. That's not new. But did you know that almost all

women turn up the volume when they do orgasm? For instance, the orgasm curls her toes and makes her feel like ohh, but she curls her toes and gives out an OHHH! This is because she knows you like it. She isn't faking it, but simply embellishing.

It would be nice if men would do the same instead of pretending to be all macho and stoic.... get a little more verbal and show us that you're enjoying it by groaning and moaning too.

2. Stamina is extremely Overrated!

Sure, pre-mature ejaculators are the butt of sex jokes, and in movies like American Pie. Some of us women have even been unfortunate enough to have been with men who orgasmed as soon as he got his pants off. But just because we would like sex to last more than 12 seconds does not mean that longer is better.

If you can keep thrusting and pumping for more than 45 minutes without coming, you're no superman... you're boring man. Plus, the vagina can't keep lubricating itself, no matter how wet you got her in the first place. So after an hour, chances are, she's sore, and just putting up with it!

One of my close girlfriends dated a guy like that once, we called him the Two Hour Man *said in super hero tone of voice* ( but not a compliment).

3. Breasts can hurt

... like a kick in the balls.

So don't use all your strength to squeeze her boobs. Nipples can get very sensitive at different times of the month too, or after an orgasm, so twisting and biting down hard on them is not appreciated.

The only exception is when she TELLS you to squeeze her boobs or suck on her nipples harder. Some times our bodies crave that and then weirdly enough, it doesn't hurt us.

4. Falling asleep after sex doesn't make you an asshole

When you orgasm, your body releases chemicals which makes you sleepy. Plus, exertion during sex depletes the muscles of glycogen (which produces energy), which leads to sleepiness. Men have more muscle mass than women, so they’re generally sleepier after sex.

Still, women won't listen to this bullshit science, so your best bet is either- toothpick your eyes open, or pull her close in a snuggle as you sleep so she still feels loved.

5. Your penis reflects your health

If you can't get a hard on or keep a hard on, then you might have arterial problems, diabetes, or kidney diseases. It may also be caused by fatigue or psychological factors.

Transcab Driver is a Cheat + Was Vulgar

I flew back to Singapore at 1.40 in the morning today. Our Jet Star flight was delayed, David and I took separate cabs so he could get straight home to sleep instead of detouring and dropping me off first (he had to wake up for work at 6).

I know that taxi drivers have to queue up at the taxi ranks and they want to have a long ride instead of taking passengers close by to places like Pasir ris, Tampines, Changi. That's why I always tip them generously, over and above the surcharge that all passengers (regardless of how close of far a destination) will have to pay.

As I wheeled my luggage to a red transcab, the driver, all smiling, takes my bag from me. As he was putting it into the boot, I told him I was going to Pasir ris.

He tells me angrily, "Alamak you, Taiko lah. Kapala Bhutoh you!"

And slams my bag into the boot. I don't know what Taiko is. I think Bhutoh means cock/penis.

I am an idiot. I should have got out of the cab immediately. But I didn't. Then I suddenly thought, OMG, I better have small change for this guy because he's going to shout at me again if he has to break a $50.

I looked into my wallet, and saw plenty of tens, so no problem, then I look at the meter, and noticed, the surcharge was $9 plus. This was just barely 30 seconds of being in the taxi.

I thought it was strange, but I didn't pursue the matter. He was driving very rough and fast. Obviously pissed off with me living in Pasir ris. Then a call comes in, he speaks on the phone (handsfree), and he speaks loudly, but in Chinese (maybe a dialect), and all I could recognise was - Hijack, Pasir ris, nabei, Cha bo, Bhutoh.

When coming off the expressway, he shouts impatiently, "Exit where!?"

By this time, I had already taken down his license plate number ( SHD 46 C, red Transcab ) .

When I got back (whole drive was barely 5 minutes). The fare came up to $6.70, plus the surcharge and midnight charge it was a total of $17.20 . I suspect I have been cheated at the initial starting point when the starting surcharge was already $9plus.

(I asked David later on how much the starting surcharge in his cab was, he said $4.80. )

Anyway, I gave him $20, and said he could keep the change. I did not get a thank you, he was still just pissed off, didn't bother to get out of the cab to get my luggage out (but I was expecting that he wouldn't help anyway)

As I exited the cab, I left my passenger door open, because quite frankly, I felt like he would just drive off before I can fully get my heavy luggage out of the boot. So I thought if the passenger door is opened, he can't drive off.

Then When I got my luggage out of the boot, instead of shutting the boot and the passenger side door, I just felt like.. WTF, he's so rude to me, cheated me, I let him keep the change, and yet he is still so hostile towards me. He can shut his own damn doors.

So I just left.

As I got into the lift, I could hear him slamming the doors shut.

I got home, and lodged a complaint with Transcab. The staff said that I would get a response in 7 - 1o days. That's a long while. But I don't mind, as long as they really look into it and not sweep it under the rug.

I've never been in such a hostile situation before... but I wish I had stood my ground sooner. I wish I had got out of the cab that very moment when he scolded me with vulgarities instead of putting up with that shit. Also, why am I such an idiot? I should have asked him to verify the surcharge.... and made a fuss about it.. instead of letting him keep the change some more. I was just too shocked and scared

Whatever, I hope I never see this asshole driver again.

Also... now I am scared to take taxi from airport!!

I'm with True Fitness!

On 17 January, the True Group launched its newest Fitness Centre in Tampines. Bianca and I just got memberships with True Fitness and we're psyched to get fit this year. True Fitness has 7 branches all over Singapore (Suntec, VivoCity, Parkway Parade, China Square Central, Great World City, Chevron House and Tampines Junction) so we have not excuses not to get to a gym this year.

I love the new Tampines branch!! It is located on the 8th Floor of the NTUC Income Tampines Junction Building. It's over 24,000 sq feet in size and has a Muay Thai ring, hot yoga studio, a group exercise studio as well as a spinning studio.

There was a Muay Thai demonstration during the opening event and it was awesome.

Can't wait to try out some muay thai classes. They're launching Muay Thai Group Exercise classes at the Muay Thai ring in February this year. Yay!!

And a roundhouse kick competition where the audience were challenged to see who could do the most kicks in 1 minute.

The Tampines branch also offers more than a whopping 150 classes a week. Bianca and I went for the Zumba class on Wednesday.

Everyone is doing Zumba nowadays... seems to be the most happening way to get fit now. It was our very first Zumba class... and oh boy do I have 2 left feet. The moves in Zumba is like a mixture of latin and african beats. Super energetic and loads of fun.

The facility, is spacious and there is ample machines for everyone.

And the changing rooms are fab!

There are over 600 lockers for men and women as well as steam rooms where members can relax before and after sessions.

OMG! I got to meet Keagan Kang, Jourdan Lee and Paul Foster, the celebrities who use True Fitness gyms in Singapore! They were there for the opening launch as well. Super drool worthy! lol

Paul ( from Polo Boys and Deal or No Deal) is so friendly, in fact they all are.

Thailand- It's Not Service, It's Servitude

I've been in Phuket a week now... and my 2nd holiday of 2012 is already ending soon.

Just a quick thought I want to share with you.

I love Thailand, and I've had many fantastic holidays here. Love it because you get more bang for your buck, food, drinks, etc are much cheaper here. But people have also called Thailand the land of smiles... and commend the Thais on excellent hospitality and service.

But I've only just come to realise one thing.. it's not really service, it's servitude. It's like they have an innate sense of duty and service... especially towards white people.

It is also a rather sexist (possibly racist?? read my experience below) country.

When we arrived at the airport and booked a taxi, we wheeled our baggage out of the airport

toward the taxis. And immediately... the driver comes forward and takes my fiancé 's bag. Great service eh? No no.. wait a minute? What about my bag?

We both had equal sized bags. In most other non third worldly countries I've been to, I the bell boy, driver, etc always reaches for the woman's bag first, before helping the man out with his.

Of course, my fiancé, being the gentleman that he is, turns to me and takes my bag. It's not a problem. But definitely something to think about...

Then when we arrive at our hotel, I check in while David nips outside for a smoke. While I was filling in the details on a registration sort of form, the receptionist lady stops me abruptly and points out to David (who is outside smoking) and says that HE must fill it in.

I am puzzled. Why can't I fill in my details (because I am a woman or because I am asian)? I then tell her that the credit card used to book this room is under MY name.

And then she says with heavy Thai droning and punctuation, " You ShOw Meee".

So I take out my credit card, she checks and they payment for the room is indeed under my credit card.

"ok ok"

And I was given the go ahead to fill the form out. No apologies. Nothing. Wtf man.

Everytime my fiancé or other white men walk past... they bow their heads so fast, their necks might snap.

Of course, this new realisation of mine isn't going to stop me from coming back... it's still a lovely country to visit. But yeah.. I wouldn't really say it's service with a smile, when it's really a sense of servitude. When I see it blatantly happening in front on my eyes, makes me wonder - Why you so like that?

What do you think?

P/s - Last trip we stayed at Royal Phuket Yacht Club in Naiharn, best ever in my opinion. But it's high season now, all the nice places in Niaharn and Kata were fully booked. We're staying at Le Piman on Rawai beach. It's nice. Only 16 Villas and a nice pool. And cheap too (approx $80 + a night). But the pillows SUCK BIG TIME. My neck is so sore. It's like they cut up an old t- shirt into 5 bits, then scrunched those bits and put it in a pillow case. Absolutely NOT kidding. I've been to cheaper hotels in Malaysia and also in Hong Kong recently (on my last night there this month, I stayed in a $80 room in Tsing Yi and pillow was comfy!)

Update: 27 Jan 1.36 pm

I flew back early this morning. Have to say, that other than that first shitty encounter during check in, the hotel staff were very polite to me. So it may have been a one off thing during check in, or it may be they started treating me better as they realised the villa was getting paid through my credit card. Dunnoe. But they were good though...porter even carried my bag on my way out (did they read my post?!).

I AM IN LOVE

I am in love with the new NIKON J1. (Retails at SGD 899)

It comes in 5 colours! I super love the pink one! I tested the white one out with 7 other bloggers, a couple of weeks ago. We had a field day out and about Singapore with the Taiwanese PKgirls. The PK girls are famous for planking all over Asia.

A great way to learn about a new camera is to get your hands on it and use it. The Nikon J1 is absolutely beginner friendly and easy to use. Below are a few of my favourite still images taken within the first few hours of getting my hands on the Nikon J1.

My very first shot was of the silver J1. The J1 has a stylishly sleek and slim body. It is so compact that it fits in the palm of your hand. You can kit it out with different lenses. I used the pancake lens (ultra thin 1 NIKKOR 10mm f/2.8 wide angle).
This little camera produced high image quality that really impressed me. The colours it picked up were very vibrant and intense. It makes still objects come alive.
I used the camera on auto mode and it was able to focus automatically on subjects to give a macro shot. This gives a picture depth and dimension... effortlessly. The camera does all the work automatically.

I love how the NIKON J1 isn't huge or pretentious looking like a regular DSLR. And taking photos in low light conditions is easy, the Nikon J1 needed no exposure compensation for this shot. It gave just the effect I wanted. But if you prefer more exposure, you can easily adjust the ISO or use the pop up flash.

I also got a chance to test out their Video Mode. It can shoot regular videos with sound, like any other camera, but the Nikon J1 is so versatile, you can even snap photos while recording movies.

What really sets the Nikon J1 apart from all the rest is the Slow Movie function. The slow movie function shoots footage in extreme slow motion for dramatic effect.

Here's a sample I took of the PKgirls twirling. This mode captures their Sarees fluttering through the air as they twirl. You'll be surprised to know that the actual twirl was only a few seconds long! But in this mode, it is stretched so you can appreciate moments that would otherwise be lost in a blink of an eye.

It's also fun to do action shots in this mode. In this video above, I am jumping over the PKgirls while they are planking. This function gives the jump that extra bit of drama and style.

There's still so many things I want to tell you about this camera. In my next post, I'll share with you more about it's other functions like smart photo selector and continuous shooting (at 60 frames PER SECOND!).

Girls love make up. But buying stuff like lipsticks and foundation for them can be tricky as you won't know exactly what shade/colour they want. So get her luxurious brush sets instead.

We love soft pampering, quality brushes. I shudder then I think of the cheap scratchy brushes I used to use as a teenager.

SIGMA is a great online store that sells brush sets ( and many in fabulous colours !).

Make Me Blush Travel Kit - This kit has 7 brushes which come in a matching container that turns into 2 brush holders.

I love Sigma. Will review soon. Meanwhile, check out their stuff - here.

Another unique Vday gift is to treat your friend/Gf/sister/or even your BF to a Brazilian wax package... or if you're a male reader, then get a Boyzillian for yourself and surprise her! :)

When it comes to waxing, my first recommendation is always Kerry from TheGoldDust.
