Extra-marital Affairs - Why?

Extramarital affairs are relationships outside of marriage where an illicit romantic or sexual relationship or a romantic friendship or passionate attachment occurs. A major reason for affairs is 'familiarity may or may not breed contempt, but it does breed boredom and careless disregard of partners.

Technology gives us easy access and a fair bitof privacy and anonymity. With this, striking a friendship and building it to a crescendo was never easier. And then, just one step out of the virtual in to the real world, and in the first flush of love chemicals, an extra-martial affair is born.

There can obviously not be any one reason that leads people in to affairs. But research shows that the two biggest reasons for men are sex and attention, while women are mostly looking for emotional validation and a cure for loneliness.


Being appreciated is a deep need of both sexes, one that is ignored as couples grow apart. Men miss emotional succor and love as much as women do in a relationship. Men wish to be admired for their intellect and power and their organizational capabilities. Women, on the other hand, need male attention to feel sexy and desirable, for their own self-esteem.


A deep connect with another helps validate your existence as an attractive and coveted individual, giving a boost to an ego battered by life's daily grind. The need is not always sexual. It is emotional too.


Strangely, spouse hesitate to cater to each other's emotional needs, seeing it as a weakness that could be exploited. They also hesitate to open with each other, treating marriage more as a battleground.


Interaction with your love interest offer a comforting respite - you can be yourself and know that you are appreciated. The stakes in this relationship are not high, so you let down your guard more comfortably.


Other sensation-seeking factors leading to flings are curiosity and the fear of missing out.


According to a research, 77% of cheating men have friends who have cheated too. Available opportunity and the fear of missing out push many in to flings they had no other reason to seek.


Apart from boredom and curiosity, two contemporary life motivators for flings are - 'revenge sex' as a relationship for affairs, when one indulges after he or she has been cheated by a partner.

Break-Up? How to Deal Effectively?

Putting an end to a short-term or long-term relationship is painful. While many take time to get over a break-up, some move on quickly. Here are some tips to cope with it:-

While it is fine to discuss your break-up with your close friends, it is a mistake to let the entire world know about it.


Travel as far as you can and for as long as you can. Leave your dark cave of forgotten dreams and explore the world outside. Look for new stories and experiences.


Talk to friends or acquiantances. Mend broken ties and renew worn-off relationships. This may be challenging, but will distract your mind off the stress.


Better not to be in touch as 'we-can-always-be-good-friends'. Nobody can move on by being in touch with ex.


Don't keep going over the actions and conversations that happened when you broke up. The idea is to forget and not to let it rule your life. Say 'Goodbye' to bad memories by creating new ones.


Most prefer revenge which is not at all good or the right way. Join a book club, play new games, watch TV or movies.


Do not send SMS like 'I miss you' at mid-night which is called 'drunk-texting' to ex. It is a two-steps-forward & one-step-back slide down the rabbit hole.


As mourning will not help but a good work-out will, run or jog - break in to a sweat. Push yourself to go to a gym and be regular.

'Monsoon Driving' Tips

Driving in the monsoons can be tiresome and can get dangerous. Here are some tips to decrease the hazards:-

Make sure that your tyre trad depth is more than 2 mm. The tread pattern is very important as it squeezes out water from under the tyre, giving it a relatively dry contact patch with the road. A tread that has been worn out will not be able to displace as much water and will cause the car to aquaplane. Some imported tyre manufacturers make wet weather tyres with tread patterns specially designed to expel more water.


Aquaplannning is caused by insufficient tyre depth, incorrect tyre pressure, puddles of standing water, sudden acceleration, hard braking, sudden jerks of the steering wheel and cornering at high speeds.


Before speeding out in to the rains, one must remember to allow for more travelling time to reach the destination as you will not drive as fas as you normally would. Carry an umbrella or raincoat, extra drinking water, something to eat like chocolate or energy bars and prescribed medicines as you cannot predict traffic jams or closed roads due to flooding.


Make sure you have more than enough fuel in the tank.


When stuck in city traffic, stay calm, patient and courteous with other road users, keeping in mind that they too are stuck in the same mess as you.


Dry your footwear before getting behind the wheel as wet feet / footwear can slip off the pedals which can be very dangerous.


When driving on wet roads, slow down. Drive at low rpm to reduce the chance of wheel spin. Accelerate smoothly, brake gently, well in advance and slow down before taking turns. Maintain a gap of about three times the distance that you normally would with the vehicle in front of you, giving you enough time to react in case the need arises to change speed or direction. Give ample notice to those behind or around you before changing lanes or turning.


Use engine braking more than the brakes to slow down where possible by just taking your foot off the accelerator well-in-advance. In case skidding occurs, stay calm, take your foot off the accelerator and gently steer in the desired direction. As your car slows, grip will be regained.


An experienced driver can try driving in the tracks of the car ahead. This way tyres will have less water to displace and will give slightly more grip. It is ideal not to get too close, especially to heavy vehicles because the spray from other tyres can be muddy and can obstruct vision.


Make sure your windshield wash solutions is topped up and carry some extra water in the trunk for this purpose.


During monsoons, drive with lights on to be more visible and hazar lights in very dark conditions. At night, drive very cautiously and slowly as the glare from oncoming headlights will be reflected and amplified through the water on windshield causing temporary loss of vision. For frequent travel on highways, use fog lamps to have good visibility.


If you have to drive through a flooded area, do so only over short distances and watch out for submerged dividers and footpaths. Drive at very slow speed in first gear, keeping the rpm high by slipping the clutch. The raised rpm will increase the flow of exhaust gases and ensure that water does not enter the tailpipe and then the engine.


After driving through a deep spot, ensure that the brakes are functioning properly by gently pumping to dry them out before you speed up.


A car with manual transmission can be driven to a safer spot using the starter motor. However, this should be used as last option.


It is advisable to carry a small hammer in your car during the rains, as water can play havoc with power windows and central locking systems, trapping you inside your car. This can be a very dangerous situation. Use the hammer to break a window and get out of the car if this happens.


If the car has been standing in a flood place for a while, check the color of the engine oil. If the oil looks very bubbly or milky white, it means that water has got in to the oil sump and mixed with the oil. Get it replaced immediately.


Do not drive through fast flowing water if you cannot make out how deep it is. If you are out on the open highways and a storm hits, stay away from high land, lone trees, metal poles and water bodies reduces the risk. Find a place where you can park well off the road surface and switch off all lights.


Always keep your seat belt on.

Email Etiquettes

Email evokes almost unprecedented cultural and generational challenges. Email etiquette varies across the globe, especially in ways to address the receiver, the directness of the message, and the closing. Here are some tips, techniques & etiquettes you should follow:-

Always start your email message with a salutation and a closing. Based on your relationship, only you can decide whether deference dictates a "Dear Professor" or "Dr. John" or "Good Morning" or "Dear Mr. William". For your career's sake, make sure you get the name and title right.


Avoid trendy abbreviations and be careful of emoticons. They may be misunderstood and thus not clearly convey your meaning.


Use complete sentences, correct grammar, correct punctuation and capitalization. Yet subject lines should be as efficient as a tweet, concisely stating what is important and relevant.


Make sure your subject lines distinguish you from a hacker or a scammer by being current and germane. If the subject changes, change the header! Be direct, clear and succinct. Respond in full sentences.


If you have a long list of comments, put them in a single Word Document attachment, or number the points so that the recipient knows you got everything.


If you have no time to respond fully to any mail, reply that you received the email and inform when you will be able to respond as nothing is more discouraging than feeling ignored.


Patience is a virtue. Not every email gets delivered. This happens more frequently than we would like to admit. Offer people the same grace that you would like to receive on email responses.


Always remember that the person reading your email has only the words on the screen. Now think about how much our tone of voice impacts our message. Beware of sarcasm.

Premature Ejaculation - Causes & Remedies

Premature Ejaculation is a problem, faced by many men and they have no idea how to tackle it. Here are the causes, types, symptoms & solutions for it:-

Premature ejaculation simply means, ejaculation taking place before desired. According to health experts, one in every three men is affected by this problem. Some ejaculate right before penetration and some during foreplay itself.


It is of 2 types. (i) Primary premature ejaculation or lifelong. A man falls under this category, if from the time he has been sexually active, he has never been able to control his ejaculation or his doctor has not been able to diagnose the underlying cause of it. (ii) Secondary premature ejaculation or Acquired. A man is categorized under this if he could control his ejaculation previously and had a satisfying sexual life. It is commonly associated with Erectile Dysfunction.


Causes of Premature Ejaculation: General Anxiety, Stress, Anxiety related to partner, Increases penile sensitivity, Lack of sexual experience, Feeling of guilt, Presence of hostility in the relationship, Performance anxiety, Abdominal or pelvic trauma or surgery, Increased excitation during foreplay, Depression, Anti- depressant medication, Diabetes, hormonal Imbalance, Abnormal reflex activity of the ejaculatory system, Inherited traits, Thyroid problem, Infection of the prostrate, Taboos or beliefs about sex & Negative sexual experiences in childhood.


Symptoms: The main symptom of premature ejaculation is that ejaculation occurs before or shortly after penetration and is uncontrolled.


Solutions / Treatments: (1) Squeeze Technique: Be open to your partner before and talk to her about it. During intercourse, if you feel you are at the point of coming, tell your partner to squeeze the tip of the head of your organ. This will delay the urge to ejaculate. A little practice will get the pressure right.

(2) Kegel Exercises: A man can do these exercises anytime and anywhere and no one will even notice. To identify the muscles of your pelvic floor, hold back your urine the next time you have the urge to urinate. Contract the muscles tightly and hold for ten seconds.

Thus keeping them strong ensures a good sex life.

(3) Sexual Therapy: A male is usually advised to masturbate two hours before actually having sex because a second erection usually lasts longer. The therapist may also suggest just foreplay and avoidance of actual intercourse to avoid performance anxiety. Sometimes the therapist may suggest trying a less stimulating position which may delay ejaculation.

4. Medication: The doctor may prescribe different doses of medication to see which one works best for you. He may pick up certain anti-depressants or topical anaesthetic creams to delay ejaculation.

5. Behaviour Modification Therapy: A therapist provides reassurance, explains the causes for premature ejaculation and teaches the man delaying techniques. Even breating right will also help in controlling premature ejaculation.
