Love and lobsters

Valentine’s Day is here, bearing down on us like an enraged bull bursting with romantic fervour.

Half of us are frantically trying to cobble together the Valentine’s trifecta of a thoughtful gift, a meaningful card and an unforgettable date.

The other half is contemplating yet another lonely Valentine’s Day. Maybe you’ll watch a movie with your other single friends, or maybe you’ll buy a bunch of cats and cry yourself to sleep.

For those of you looking to make this Friday a frisky one, we’re currently running a competition with SA’s leading online adult store Matilda’s. Tell us about your lingerie shopping experience and you could bag yourself R3 000 in cash. Nice!

For the men out there, we understand the perils of gift shopping, particularly when it comes to lingerie. A bad choice could turn your anticipated roll in the hay into a lonely night in the barn.

Fear not, we’ve got your back. Read our practical guide to buying all things frilly to make sure you avoid all potential pitfalls.

Another skill that partners should embrace is the art of a sensual, romantic massage. Men and women both appreciate a good squeeze from their squeeze, and a few quick pointers can turn your well-intentioned but somewhat amateurish rubbing into a seductive, relaxing experience your lover won’t forget in a hurry.

On topic of lustiness, we’ve been talking a lot about porn addiction this week. Is it really an addiction? What are the consequences? We got input from both a self-confessed addict and a psychologist on this little-talked-about vice.

Continuing with our theme of love, let’s talk about lobsters. Huh? No, we don’t recommend whipping out a crustacean during your bedroom antics but these tasty sea-dwellers could offer the solution to making sure your good looks last a lot, lot longer.

You see, lobsters are what we call biologically immortal and their propensity for not dying could, one day, allow us to live a fair bit longer.

Lastly, they say that love is a drug. Well, so is cocaine, thousands of tons of which are smuggled across the globe every month. With the authorities continually trying to intercept these shipments, here’s how smugglers are staying one step ahead.

To all the lovers out there, a very happy Valentine’s Day.
To all of the single people, chin up, it’s Friday!
