Does size matter to women? The simple truth? Yes, size does matter. But not in the way you think. Read this to understand how size really matters. By Kayla Kissinger

Have you ever felt self conscious about how well you’re endowed down there?

You’re not alone.

Unless you’re hung like a horse, almost all men have found themselves asking this question through the years.

It starts in the school showers and lasts all the way through their adulthood.

But with all the emphasis that men give their members, does size even matter to women?

Does size matter to women?

Well, this is not an answer that can be answered simply with a yes or a no.

As a woman, I can tell you that it’s not just the length of the pole that matters entirely. It’s what you do in the hole that really counts.

Even before we get to the details, here’s something you need to remember. Don’t let your penis decide how much of a man you are.

If you’re a guy with a less than memorable penis size, you could end up shying away from the opposite sex just because you feel less than well endowed down there.

And just imagine how that’ll affect your morale and confidence!

Feel more confident about your assets down there, and focus more on pleasuring her through extended foreplay instead of sending your little guy into the tunnel and waiting for him to work all the magic. [Read: 10 things women want in bed to feel sexy and loved]

After all, your sexual abilities and confidence as a person can definitely compensate for your lack of girth or length any day.

Men, women and their oversized obsessions

Women obsess about the size of their own breasts. They constantly wonder if they’re too small. But as a guy, you don’t always care, do you? Okay, maybe you do. [Read: 8 ways to get any girl you like to notice you]

Some guys are obsessed with big breasts while some guys love breasts anyway they come. But if you fell in love with a girl who’s extremely beautiful, smart and fun, would you still care if her breasts are smaller than average or mosquito bites?

For women, it works the same way with a man’s size down there. If she likes you for who you are, she’d be willing to accommodate your less than satisfactory package.

But then again, if she does find out that she’s dating a guy with a bigger penis, she’d obviously be happy to know that. It feels great to date a man who’s well endowed down there. And just the thought of something that big going into her can excite her or even turn her on! [Read: How to make a girl want you sexually]

And let’s face it, a girl gets bragging rights if the sizes conversation ever does come up with her own girlfriends on a drunken night.

So does size matter to women? Well, even if a small penis functions just as well when it has to do its job, she would definitely prefer an average or a slightly above average one over a tiny one for all the other reasons.

What’s the average size of a male member?

There’s no hard and fast rule about the size of a penis. But to put your mind at ease, anywhere between five to six inches is definitely considered average. Anything less than that and you’d get a sympathetic smile. Anything more than that, and she’ll plaster a wide smile of awe that is directly proportional to the length of your penis!

Almost everyone in the world is average, so don’t fret about it. Girls are fine with an average sized member. All said and done, being average is okay, but when you’re too small, it can be quite a letdown when she slips her hand in and find’s a baby penis in your shorts. You know what, it may even freak her out! [Read: Are attractive girls actually mean to guys?]

Does a big penis make a difference while having sex?

Do girls like a big member while having sex? Well, this is the most confusing part of all. Many girls are happy to snuggle with an average member, while many other girls want something that’s way bigger than just the average.

Some girls say a bigger penis means better sex, while other girls hate a big member because it hurts them. So what’s the deal here?

Does the size of a man’s member actually affect the outcome of sex?

The truth – Yes, the penis size does matter

The size of a man’s penis definitely does matter when it comes to having sex. And your size does play a huge role in whether you’ll be able to help your woman orgasm better.

There, I’ve said it! Size definitely does matter to women. But then again, it’s really not in the way you think.

If you have a considerably big penis, you may have experienced this. Some girls love the way you feel inside them. And some girls may actually cringe in pain and ask you to slow down or avoid penetrating fully. So what’s happening here? The same penis brings pleasure to some girls, but hurts other girls? Isn’t that weird? [Read: 10 ways to build sexual tension with a girl you like]

Kama sutra and the sizes

The Kama sutra is a manual of love written over 2000 years ago in India by a man named Vatsyayana. In one of the chapters on sexual union, he explains about the division of men into three kinds based on the size of their lingam (penises). Additionally, he also divides women into three types based on the depth of their yoni (vulva) *the depth of the yoni here signifies the depth of the vagina*.

According to the Kama sutra, based on the size of his lingam, a man can either be a hare, a bull or a horse. And a woman, based on the depth of her yoni, can either be a female deer, a mare or a female elephant.

And the outcome and pleasure of sexual union between a man and a woman can be determined by these divisions.

Men  (size of the lingam)        -           Women (size of the yoni)

Hare (small lingam)                -           Deer (short yoni)

Bull (average lingam)              -          Mare (average yoni)

Horse (large lingam)               -           Elephant (deep yoni)

The sexual union between a hare man and a deer woman, a bull man and a mare woman, and a horse man and an elephant woman would lead to more pleasurable orgasms and a better sexual union than any other type of combinations of men and women. These three unions are called equal unions or perfect unions.

On the other hand, if a horse man penetrates a deer woman, that is, if a man with a longer member penetrates a woman with a short vagina, it’ll end up causing discomfort to the woman. The only way around this is for the man to penetrate her halfway or to the point where she is comfortable.

Another scenario is when a hare man penetrates an elephant woman. In this case, a man with a short member penetrates a woman with a deeper vagina. In this case, the woman may never be able to experience heightened orgasms or sexual satisfaction with him because the man would never be able to reach deeper into her.

Sizes and pleasurable sex

According to the Kama sutra, if a male’s erect member goes through the vagina of a female and touches the entrance to the cervix when the vagina is penetrated *the cervix is the opening to the uterus*, it leads to powerful orgasms and a much better sexual experience.

So does size really matter? Now you know that it definitely does. And the constant confusion over a few women saying size doesn’t matter and size does matter can actually be answered by keeping the Kama sutra in mind.

An elephant woman with a deeper vagina would definitely prefer a horse man with a longer member. While a deer woman with a shorter vagina may be fascinated by a large erection, but she’ll be able to experience the best sex with someone like a hare man who has a small member.

Big isn’t always better. Small isn’t always snug.

Of course, we can’t all go measuring the lengths and depths each time we date someone. And you can’t really figure the sizes of someone’s privates by just looking at them.

But at the end of it all, when you do have sex with someone, what matters is how comfortable both of you are down there while having sex. If it’s too big for her, you’ll hurt her. If it’s too small for her, she won’t feel what she wants to feel. [Read: 20 dirty questions to text a girl and make her wet]

A guy who feels small about himself down there may actually be able to give better orgasms to many girls than a guy who’s hung like a horse. [Read: How to hook up with a girl you just met and have sex with her]

So however well or less than well endowed you are down there, fret not, there’s a perfect match or an almost perfect match in all of us. Just as long as you avoid the contrasting opposites as a sexual partner, you’ll definitely have a great time in bed.

So how do you recognize a contrasting sexual partner? Well, just have sex. You’ll know the next morning, won’t you?!

So if you’re still wondering about the big question now, does size matter to women, well, you do know that big is not always the best, after all. A perfect match is way better!

Wondering what the fuss about promise rings are all about?

Why do lovers even give them?

Promise rings can be confusing to many.

And many young lovers don’t even know why they give each other promise rings.

So is it like an engagement ring, but not really an engagement ring?

Or is it like a proposal to propose later?

Well, you’ll learn everything about it here.

What is a promise ring?

A promise ring is just that, it’s a ring that signifies a promise of some kind.

Almost always, promise rings are exchanged between young lovers to pledge their love for each other.

But promise rings can mean many other things too, like when it’s exchanged between a parent and a child, it could be to abstain from sex.

When you give a promise ring to your lover, it must signify some kind of a promise, like telling your lover that you’ll propose someday, or you’ll give up smoking the day you get married, or that you’ll never cheat for as long as both of you are in a relationship. [Read: How to prove you love someone the right way]

There are a lot of reasons to give a promise ring to a loved one. But it all starts and ends with a promise.

The time I gave a promise ring

When I was still a student in my college years close to a decade ago, I was madly in love with a girl. We had been dating for a couple of years, and even though we spent a lot of time with each other, it just was never enough. I was crazy about her. I even knew I wanted to marry her someday.

All the words in the world couldn’t express the love that I had for her. But I did want her to know that she means a lot to me, a lot more than my words could ever express.

I wasn’t the first one who wanted to express this passionate romance that overflowed within me. For almost as long as humans could think, lovers have always looked for daring or memorable ways to express their love to their sweethearts. After all, when you’re in love with someone, you can’t help but constantly look for ways to make your lover smile. Some passionate lovers wrote poems, others built sculptures, and almost everyone else went to war. [Read: The complete guide to writing a romantic love letter to your partner]

Now I couldn’t do any of those. But I still wanted to express the endless love I have for my girlfriend.

I decided to buy her a beautiful ring, the best one I could afford to buy without losing an arm or a leg. I saved up a month’s allowance and picked up a platinum ring with a tiny diamond on it. And on our second anniversary dating each other, I planned a romantic dinner with candles at my place. To make it more special, I spend a good hour or so jumping high and sticking glow in the dark stars all over my bedroom ceiling. And after that, I filled my room up with hundreds of heart shaped balloons.

I wanted to do more, but beyond the flowers and a few gifts, I couldn’t think of anything more.

After dinner, I walked her into my room with my hands over her eyes and showed her the balloons which signified “the hearts it would take to fill all the love I have for her.” And then, I turned the lights off and showed her the glowing stars all over the ceiling. It did look rather eerily romantic. And just as she turned the light back on, I went down on one knee, took out the ring and gave it to her.

She looked really happy, and was quite shocked to be honest. But before she’d worry about it, I told her it wasn’t an engagement ring, and it was just a ring to prove my love to her and let her know that I’ll always love her. And everything about that night was just perfect. [Read: How to plan a complete marriage proposal in a unique and romantic way]

My girlfriend and I are married today and we share a wonderful relationship, and most importantly, that ring still has a special spot in both of our hearts. I pledged my love for her with that ring, and I’ve still kept that promise.

Understanding the promise ring better

When I gave my girlfriend the ring over a decade ago, I didn’t know what it was called. I had no idea back then that it was called a promise ring. But I still gave it to her because I wanted her to know how special she is and how much I loved her.

Lovers are always looking for ways to profess their love for each other. And at times, a ring can seem perfect. After all, you can feel it around your finger all the time. And each time you see it or feel it, you can feel your lover’s promise in that ring. Isn’t that just beautiful? [Read: An unconditional love story and a promise ring]

You don’t always have to give a promise ring to your lover. But if you feel like your heart’s about to burst with all the love you have for this person, look for ways to express it. And if a promise ring can express your love for you, then so be it.

Should you give a promise ring?

This is a decision that’s entirely left to you. Your lover won’t expect it, so it’s a gesture you could indulge in only if you feel the urge to give a ring. You don’t even need a promise ring to express your love for your sweetheart. You could use anything you like, as long as it’s something that your partner will appreciate and keep safe. After all, that gift has a promise in it. [Read: How to get your guy to propose to you sooner by reading his mind]

Things to know while giving a promise ring

If you’re sure about wanting to give a promise ring, keep these thoughts in mind when you pick one up or gift it to your lover. [Read: 25 ways to make your boyfriend happy every day]

#1 Don’t buy a wedding ring or a band ring. It’ll confuse your lover, your friends and family. A promise ring can be any kind of ring in the world, as long as it looks good on your lover’s finger.

#2 It’s not worn on the ring finger. Many lovers may be alright with the idea of using it on the ring finger *I know I slipped it on my girlfriend’s ring finger*. But if you want to save the ring finger for a wedding ring, slip the ring into any other finger or on the ring finger in the right hand. [Read: How to be a happy couple that's envied by all other couples]

#3 State your promise clearly. Every time your lover looks at the ring, it has to remind them of a special promise. If you just slip it on without any promise, it’ll lead to confusions later or the ring may just have no significance other than a bling thing.

#4 Consider the ring seriously, as serious as you would a real engagement ring.

#5 Be certain about your decision to give it. Don’t treat a promise ring carelessly or buy one just to show off to your friends. It signifies one of the promises your relationship stands on. [Read: 50 relationship questions to test your compatibility]

#6 You don’t need to spend two to six months of your salary on the ring. But don’t be cheap either. It has to last a lifetime even if it won’t always stay on your lover’s finger.

[Read: What is the right age to get married?]

A promise ring is a pledge of your love and a promise that you intend to stand by. You don’t always have to give a promise ring to your lover, but if you do intend to, do keep these thoughts in mind and do make a promise for a lifetime.

Want to get a guy’s attention? Or do you want to get him hard? Here are 30 subtle, obvious and sexual flirting tips to do all that and a lot more! By Cheryl James

Flirting’s a game that’s played back and forth.

You can’t flirt with someone unless they’re flirting back with you.

But depending on the guy and how well you know him, there are always ways to get him flirting with you no matter what.

But if you don’t know the guy just yet, use these tips on how to get a guy to notice you and fall for you before using these flirting tips.

Flirting tips for girls

When you’re a girl, it’s easy to flirt with a guy and get him to respond to you.

But never overdo yourself before he shows his reciprocation towards you.

Always make a guy feel like he’s doing the hard work and he’ll show more of an interest in you.

A guy’s mind is simple. He wants the attention of all attractive women. If he knows you like him already, he’ll lose interest in wooing you or impressing you.

If it seems too obvious that you like him already, he knows that he doesn’t have to work harder to get your attention and he’ll forget all about the chase.

The three kinds of flirting

Want to know the right way to flirt with a guy without overdoing it or losing all chances of making him fall for you? Keep these three types of flirting in mind.

#1 Subtle flirting. If you don’t know a guy too well, always be subtle while flirting with him. He has to know you’re interested in him, but he should never realize you’ve fallen hard for him already.

#2 Obvious flirting. Once a guy starts flirting back or tries to get your attention, it’s completely acceptable to start flirting more obviously with him. While subtle flirting may make him wonder if you like him, obvious flirting moves will let him see that you’re definitely interested in him in a more-than-just-friends kind of way.

#3 Sexual flirting. Sexual flirting is right there at the top of the flirting ladder. It can be outrageous and overtly sexual, and as long as you’ve built the sexual tension up, it’ll make any guy want to do things to you right there.

You can sexually flirt with a guy anywhere you like, but as a word of caution, indulge in sexual flirting only when it’s just the both of you and no one else around. If other guys do see you, sexual flirting can come off as a slutty thing, and it may not help your goody two shoes image with the rest of the guys. [Read: How to be a seductress without being obvious]

After all, all guys absolutely love girls who seem coy and cute at first sight, and turn out to be wild cats in privacy. So keep it that way and you’ll have an easier time getting any great guy’s attention. [Read: Why are guys so attracted to shy girls?]

So how do you go about using these flirting tips? Well, start slow and subtle, get cute, take a more obvious turn and if you’re really sexually attracted to him, use the sexual flirting tips to turn him on in no time!

#5 Flick your hair to the other side slowly with one hand while talking to him. Guys are suckers for this move.

#6 Act cute when you talk to him. Keep your finger on your lip while thinking, or blush now and then. [Read: 25 ways to look cute and melt a guy’s heart]

#8 When you’re walking away after a conversation with him, turn around and look at him, smile flirtily and walk away. This move always makes goodbyes feel so romantic!

#9 Play with something slowly and sensually as you talk to him. You can use a glass, a pen or even the corner of your shirt or your hair. Just be subtle though, unless you want to get sexy with him. [Read: 20 things that turn a guy on sexually when he sees a girl]

#10 Touch him gently on his arm or shoulder while talking to him, or tap him from behind when you surprise him from the back. This is very subtle and yet very memorable.

10 obvious flirting tips for girls to let him know you’re interested in him

Do you know the guy well? Or have you warmed him up to liking you by using the subtle flirting tips? Use these tips to raise the temperature.

#1 Place your palm on his cheek or jawbone while complimenting him for something he’s done especially for you. It’ll make him work harder towards doing more nice things for you. [Read: How to talk to a guy and make him like you]

#2 When both of you are standing together, clasp his hand gently while saying something close to his ear. It’ll seem accidental, but his heart will still skip a beat.

#3 Find an excuse and bend down low in front of him. Pretend to be busy and allow him to take a good peek down your cleavage. Look up suddenly and catch him doing it. Taunt him for it and make him feel awkward. It’ll build the sexual tension up in no time because both of you know he’s interested in your body.

#4 While sitting next to him or across him, slide your foot closer and ever so slightly touch his foot while appearing busy doing something else. Pretend like you haven’t noticed though. Every guy loves a flirty accidental footsie. You can do the same thing with your arms or shoulders too.

#5 Give him a lingering, soft hug while saying goodbye. But make sure you’ve lifted your chest high enough for him to feel your breasts against his body. [Read: The reason behind why guys like breasts like crazy]

#6 Flaunt yourself. If you’re wearing something rather exciting, ask him what he thinks of your new short dress, your legs or even your cleavage. “You don’t think my shirt’s too low, do you?” is a great line with a naughty answer waiting around the corner.

#7 When you’re sitting with him and there’s no one else, tell him something personal about your body and appear awkward about it. Wearing a short skirt and saying “you know, I have a mole on my thigh” will always make him wish he could sneak a peek through your short skirt.

#8 Talk softly about something romantic or sexy while sitting with him. Turn towards him slowly when he’s next to you, and say “why are you staring at me like you want to kiss me?”

Put him in a spot without ever revealing that you want to kiss him. His sexual awkwardness in the moment may make him bolder and he may end up saying that he actually wants to kiss you. [Read: 6 ways to get any guy to kiss you when you want him to]

#9 Scribble a note on a paper napkin for him and give it to him after kissing the paper with your lipstick stained lips. It’s bold, but if you want to be obvious, do it.

But want something more subtle? Use a paper napkin and press it over your lips to pale the shade of your lipstick. Use the same note to write something for him on the other side, and pretend like you didn’t realize it’s the same stained napkin. He’ll definitely think about kissing that paper napkin when you’re gone!

#10 Ask him to sniff your new perfume on your hand. But don’t use any perfume on your hands! When he says he’s not getting any fragrance, pretend like you’re surprised and ask him to smell your neck for the fragrance. A slight accidental nudge when he’s sniffing you could make him plant a kiss on your neck. By accident, of course!

You could also wear a low tee if you want him to take a peek when you tilt your face upwards and stretch your neck for him to smell your fragrance. [Read: How to keep a guy interested in you in 30 super sexy ways]

10 sexual flirting tips to get him hard and sexually excited

#1 Place your hand on his thigh while talking to him. Let it linger for a bit, but while taking your hand off his thigh, move your fingers closer towards his package for just a fraction of a second before taking your hand away.

#2 When you’re saying goodbye to him, give him a hug and kiss him on either sides of his cheek. But as you kiss him in a hurry, kiss really close to his lips or actually kiss the corner of his lips before walking away. You’ll definitely leave him feeling stretched in his pants. [Read: How to kiss a guy for the first time and turn him on immediately]

#4 Walk up from behind him and say hi, and place your hand almost on his butt, but just a little higher than that. Don’t try to take your hand off quickly. Slide it away as slowly as possible.

#5 Compliment him sexually. Tell him his pants make his ass look sexy. Or turn that into a question. When you’re sitting with him, go close to him, smile mischievously and ask him if he’s having an erection because his pants seem stretched and his crotch seems big.

#6 Sexual text flirting. This is a sure fire way to get into each other’s pants. Text him late at night and talk flirty with him. It’ll definitely go somewhere sexual within a few days. [Read: How to text flirt with a friend and do more]

#7 If both of you have gone out together at night, take his car keys and drop it down your shirt and into your bra while walking towards his car, accidentally or obviously.

You can say a ‘oops’ or give him a flirty grin and ask him to help you take it out. It doesn’t matter who takes it out because what he’ll remember is the fact that his car keys just touched your breasts and how he’s holding those lucky keys.

#8 Tell him you had a dream where both of you were making out with each other. [Read: How to make out with a guy like a sex goddess]

#9 Go out with him and spill something like ketchup or chocolate on your tee shirt. Luckily for you, carry a spare tee shirt in your bag.

#10 Take him shopping with you. Leave a few buttons unbuttoned when you come out of the dressing room. Or try something rather revealing and tell him you’re feeling awkward to come out because the shirt is see through, and ask him to take a peek through the dressing room curtain and give his suggestion. You could also give him a little peek while changing by pretending like you didn’t notice he was still around!

Want to turn your girl on and arouse her like never before? Understand what women want in bed with these tips and you’ll be able to do that and more! By Jana Snow

Sex is all in the mind, for men and for women.

It may be an activity where all the action is felt down below.

But unless your mind doesn’t enjoy it, you’ll end up bored.

So when it comes to arousing a woman and making her love the things you do in bed, you need to make her feel good about the things you do to her in her head.

[Read: 20 things that turn a girl on sexually and otherwise when she sees a guy]

What women want in bed

When you’re in a new relationship, getting naked in front of each other is all it takes to get the bodies warm and ready for action.

But if you want to have wild, passionate sex with a girl and make her love the things you do to her in bed, you need to do more than just drop your shorts.

You need to keep her needs in mind.

And you need to give equal importance to all aspects of lovemaking.

10 things you can do to make her love it

If you’re wondering what women want in bed, don’t think further. Just keep these 10 things you should do in mind, and you’ll definitely make the special lady feel more loved and sexy, and ensure that she has a great time too. [Read: How to make out with a girl after a date and make her love it]

#1 Take your time. This is something most men don’t give a thought about. More foreplay. Guys know the rules, but they just can’t help it. All you want to do is stick the shaft and drive. But think about it, by delaying the penetration and enjoying the foreplay, she’d feel more wet and will enjoy sex a lot more. Isn’t that worth the effort?

And here’s another thing to remember. By extending foreplay, you’re giving your mind and your little guy more time to prepare for sex. And by spending more time on foreplay, you’ll reduce your chances of losing an erection midway. [Read: 20 ways to keep an erection up and hard for a long time]

#2 Emotional connection. To enjoy sex better, girls need to feel connected to the guy emotionally. Well, this doesn’t make one night stands less sexy. But in a relationship where you’ve had sex a few times, you always need to focus on making her feel loved and emotionally connected to you. It’ll make her enjoy the night a lot more. [Read: How to hook up with a girl on a one night stand]

Speak to her lovingly, kiss her all over her face and ears, and whisper sweet nothings into her ear as you prepare to make love. Get this right, and she’ll definitely feel more connected to you and even fall more in love with you.

#3 Physical connection. When you have sex, the two bodies unite and become one. When you’re on top of the girl, make sure both of you are positioned well and feel comfortable. Neither of you can enjoy sex if your bodies don’t feel comfortable against each other.

Breathe together and take in your breath just as she takes in hers. When your bodies unite and synchronize with each other perfectly, breathing and all, she’ll feel more connected to you and may even think she’s found the perfect match for her body.

#4 Variety and games. Lovemaking is passionate. But too much of a good thing can bore anyone. So try to mix in the passionate sex with games and fun. Girls love having a nice time in bed, and it doesn’t always have to be about sex. Cuddle her, tease her, play with her clothes and just have fun with each other for a while before deciding to jump each other’s bones. [Read: 10 sex games your girlfriend will love and enjoy]

#5 Set the mood right. If you want to have awesome sex, you need to set the mood right. You can use perfumed body oils and give her a massage for half an hour while focusing on her love spots, so you can make her feel horny and relaxed, and extend foreplay at the same time.

You can even use porn if you’re not in the mood for something elaborate. Or both of you can go clubbing on a Saturday night and grind against each other in the club until you make her wet and want to take you right there.

While you can’t create perfect sexual moods all the time, put in an effort to build the sexual tension up, and she’ll definitely orgasm a lot better. [Read: How to make a girl horny just by sitting next to her]

#6 Self esteem. For a woman, self esteem is one of the most important things to feel sexy about herself when she’s in bed with a man. When you’re making love with your girl, make her feel loved and comfortable, and compliment her body or any other specific regions that you find sexy.

Women love a man who boosts their ego in bed. Overlook her awkward spots and don’t stop complimenting her body. And she’ll bring out the sexy minx inside of her who’ll feel confident and give you a better time in bed.

#7 Make her mind go wild. Girls have an active imagination too. And if you can stimulate her mind into thinking dirty and naughty, she’ll definitely get wilder in bed. Recreate fantasies that she’ll enjoy, talk to her about the first time both of you saw each other naked, or remind her about the time both of you did something wild outside the house. And when you learn which fantasies turn her on more than the others, use those fantasies while having sex with her. [Read: How to fantasize and talk dirty in bed]

#8 Give all of her your attention. For guys, there are just two parts of a girl’s body that occupies their attention in bed. But if you really want your woman to have a wild time in bed, don’t isolate yourself to just a place or two on her body.

Focus on all of her, kiss her hands, lick her navel, kiss her toes, the back of her neck and everywhere else. If she moans or gasps, you know you’re doing the right thing.

#9 Satisfy her. Can you really enjoy sex if you don’t finish yourself off? Of course, you can’t. And for girls, it works the same way too. Don’t get carried away while having sex and focus only on your own needs. Take it slow and warm her up, and don’t ejaculate until your woman has orgasmed first. Or if you’d like, try to orgasm together. But don’t end it before she’s had an orgasm. [Read: 10 steps to get any girl to have sex with you]

Even as you have sex, focus on her pleasure and work your way to make her orgasm. By doing that, you’ll feel more proud of accomplishing a good finish and keeping her satisfied.

#10 Sex has to end with love. Just like foreplay, afterplay too is rather important for a girl. For a guy, sex is just sex. But for a girl, sex includes foreplay and afterplay to have a better impact. Cuddle up after sex and talk to each other for a few minutes. Add in a few kisses and compliments and she’ll love you for the great guy you are. [Read: How to make a girl think of you sexually]

Just don’t finish up, turn away and fall asleep. Pillow talk after sex can bring both of you closer and make her feel appreciated and loved.

[Read: Top 10 sexual fantasies for girls that turn them on like crazy]

And now that you know what women want in bed, try to make sure your girl has a great time when she’s in bed with you. Remember to focus more on her pleasure, and you’ll end up feeling on top of the world too!

Are you looking for different ways to say ‘I love you’ to your lover? You really won’t be able to find any better ways than these romantic ways. By Kirsten Cole

A relationship needs many things to be successful.

But more often than not, what matters most is letting your lover know just how much they mean to you.

[Read: Cute ways to say 'I love you' for the first time]

You can say ‘I love you’ all the time.

After all, saying ‘I love you’ is a special way to let the one who loves you realize just how special they are to you.

But is that really ever enough?

Anyone in a relationship for more than a few months knows that those three magical words don’t always have the biggest impact.

We say it so often when we’re in a relationship, that at times, it’s easy to overlook the real meaning of those words.

But worry not, there are many other meaningful ways to say ‘I love you’ to your partner without using any words at all.

And guess what, sometimes, these gestures can make your partner feel more special and loved than saying those three loving words a hundred times.

[Read: When should you say 'I love you' for the first time?]

10 romantic and memorable ways to say ‘I love you’ all the time

The best way to let your lover know you love them is by saying it to them, at least once every day. But if you really want to make an impact and make your lover melt with happiness, keep these 10 different ways to say ‘I love you’ in mind.

#1 Happy surprises. One of the best ways to let someone know you love them is by surprising them now and then. It shows your lover that you think of them even when they aren’t around. Are you going shopping? See if you find something your lover will like, or buy a box of chocolates or even a tee shirt. [Read: 9 relationship stages all couples go through]

And on special occasions, take your time to plan the date and create a memorable experience in your own little ways. When you surprise your lover with happy moments and make their jaws drop with delight and awe, you’d definitely show just how much you love your partner and care for them.

#2 Romantic everyday gestures. If you really care about your lover, you’d definitely look for little ways to make them happy all the time. So don’t stop doing that. Always look for small ways to make your partner feel special and loved. [Read: 25 sweet romantic gestures you can use every day]

#3 The little details. Remember the smaller details, like waking up early to prepare breakfast for your lover when they have an important day at work, calling them up and reminding them about something in the middle of the day, or offering to drive out of your way to get something for them on your way home. The little things you do for your lover can make them feel so loved and taken care of, it really is one of the sweetest and subtlest ways to let them know how much you care.

#4 Sacrifices and unconditional love. Do you believe in unconditional love? It’s pure and extremely loyal. And sometimes, it can hurt too especially when it’s not reciprocated. But what’s the point of being in love if you’re not going to dive in head first and fill your heart with it? Do you ever sacrifice your own happiness just to bring a smile on your lover’s face?

Giving up on something you like just to see your lover happy is the purest way of saying ‘I love you.’ When you put your lover’s needs before yours, you’re definitely making it clear just how much you love them. [Read: A true sweet story of a boy and his unconditional love]

#5 Dates and more memories. Do you remember your anniversary and your partner’s birthday and other special days? Being thoughtful is one of the sweetest ways to let your sweetheart know how much you love them.

Make sure you remember all of your partner’s special events and try to be a part of it as much as possible. We like to share our happiness with the one we love. And by being there for your lover when they need your hug, you can definitely let your sweeter half know you love them.

And don’t stop looking for ways to make memories all the time, by snapping pictures away or videotaping them now and then when both of you are sharing a romantic moment. Years later, just looking back at the old special times can fill both your hearts with more love and happiness.

#6 Displays of affection. The best way to shower more love on your lover is by letting the world know about it. It’s a little romantic gesture that shows your partner that you’re proud to show them off as your lover to the rest of the world.

Hold hands while walking down a street, brush your lover’s hair off their face, or just snuggle up and read a book together at a café. You don’t need to make out with each other in public if you don’t want to. Just share your love with the world, and your lover will love you more. [Read: 10 public display of affection rules you need to follow]

#7 Really listen. Lovers talk all the time, but most of them hardly ever listen to each other. Almost always, they just want to get their point across. But remember, you’re in a relationship and both your opinions matter. Really listen to your partner and their views, respect their opinion and never ever rubbish them off even if their thought seems idiotic, and always make them feel like you’re giving them all your attention. You can say ‘I love you’ every day, but unless you actually listen to your lover, you’ll never enjoy a happy and intimate relationship.

#8 Be the pillar to lean on. Love isn’t always about affection and lovemaking. It also has a lot to do with supporting each other and being there for each other through thick and thin. And to say ‘I love you’ and actually mean it, you need to support your lover in their time of need, without getting frustrated or annoyed.

If you want to show off your love, help your lover when they ask you for help, help them become a better person by correcting their flaws, and let your partner see that you’ll always be there for them no matter what. [Read: Perfect things to talk about in a relationship]

#9 Back your lover. There’s nothing in the world that feels worse than knowing your own lover doesn’t trust you or support you. It’s heartbreaking.

Stand up for your lover when others are around, and always support your partner. Even if you do have differences, voice them to your lover when it’s just the both of you. Respect them and love them and don’t pick a fight in public just to prove a point. Your lover will be filled with love and gratitude when they realize that they can always depend on you to stand up for them, no matter what the cause or where you are. [Read: 10 types of love you'll experience in your lifetime]

#10 Have a lot of fun. Be romantic and bring out your inner child now and then. If a song’s playing on the television, hold your lover and start dancing, have a pillow fight, chase each other around the house, call each other silly names, jump onto your partner when they’re lying on the couch and cuddle, and just do anything else that feels romantic or funny. [Read: 10 ways to be romantic without being cheesy]

You don’t always have to say ‘I love you’ all the time to mean it. Gestures and fun moments can be just as meaningful too. Don’t ever lose that inner child when you’re in a relationship, or your love life will end up boring and dry. Learn to keep your romance exciting, and you’ll always find a new way to say ‘I love you’ every single day through happy times.

[Read: 25 relationship rules for successful love]

You don’t always have to use words to reveal your love. Sometimes, even expressions and gestures can make your partner feel more loved than ever. If you truly are looking for different ways to say ‘I love you’ and mean them beyond words can explain, use these 10 ways.

Being on top of your guy can feel awkward or tiring at times. Read these 18 sexy tips to feel more comfortable and sexy when you’re the girl on top. By Kayla Kissinger

Read the introduction on how to ride a man and look sexy doing it before you use these tips and things to know.

After all, you do need to understand what goes on in your man’s mind when you’re on top, and also learn the best positions you can use when you’re the girl on top.

The girl on top sex position

Before using any of these tips, remember this.

You may feel awkward or uncomfortable about the way you think you look when you’re bouncing off your man, but your man would find you more sexier than ever in the controlling girl on top position.

[Read: Top 10 male sexual fantasies]

When you’re on top, you’re the one controlling the sex, so don’t get carried away.

You need to make your man feel like he’s playing a part too, and that’s the only way to enjoy great sex when you’re sitting over him.

Things to know when you’re on top

When you’re on top, there are a few precautions to keep in mind and a few things you need to know to make sex more enjoyable for both of you. Use these things-to-know to learn more about the sexy girl on top position.

#1 It’s really tiring. Sitting on your guy and pounding on him or grinding circles around his member isn’t as simple as it sounds. It’s really tiring. You’re not lying down doing the missionary here. You’re jumping on and off all the time, and that involves a lot of your biggest muscles like the ones in your legs.

Every now and then, rest your hands on the sides of your man or place it over his chest so you can take the pressure off your legs. You’ll feel stronger and enjoy the girl on top position better. [Read: 50 kinky ideas for a sexy relationship]

#2 Tie your hair. In the movies, watching a girl riding her boyfriend looks sexy, especially when she flicks her hair from one side to another with her hands. But it’s not so easy in real life. When you’re sweating in bed, your hair will stick to your face and annoy you.

Untied hair can be distracting to your boyfriend too. Every time you bend towards him to kiss him, he’ll have to deal with your big mane of hair that strikes his face and tickles him. Avoid all of that, just tie your hair and focus on the sex instead.

#3 Don’t go too fast. It may seem exciting to bounce off him really fast, but you’ll get tired really fast. And most importantly, you’ll ruin the sex.

Think about it, great sex is all about the rhythm and the motion. Both of you have to feel in sync with each other to actually enjoy sex. If you move too aggressively, your man who’s lying down would never be able to keep up with you and he’ll end up feeling left out of the game because he won’t feel involved. [Read: 10 ways to please your man in bed and everywhere else]

#4 Foreplay when you’re on top. When you want to get on top, make him lie down on his back and stroke him all over. He’ll enjoy the attention because he really doesn’t have to do much here. Blow him or kiss him all around his member and turn him on. And once he’s fully ready, penetrate him. Take your time before sitting on him or he may end up losing his erection.

When your man’s lying down, he can’t stroke himself or control the way you move, and the unpredictability can make him lose his erection. It takes time to move in sync with each other when you’re on top. And until then, the erection you give him before penetration has to work its magic to keep him up. [Read: 20 ways to keep an erection up for longer]

#5 He’s not as strong as you think. Really, your man’s member is really, really sensitive. It doesn’t have a bone even if he has a boner. When you’re on top of him, a lot of your weight rests around his member. Move around in new motions or adjust your position now and then. But don’t sit on him hard or move in quick, opposite directions all of a sudden, without any warning. You may end up fracturing him down there if you don’t take it easy!

#6 Let him know you want to be on top. As soon as both of you feel in the mood, both of you will have a preconceived notion about what’s to come next. Almost always, the guy assumes he’ll be on top and prepares his mind for it.

But if you intend to get on top, let him know just how horny you are, and that you want to take the lead and get on top of him. By doing that, you won’t disappoint him because he’d know what to expect. [Read: The seven sexiest types of sex you can ever have!]

#7 Read his signs. The person on top has the important task of gauging the sex and working towards making it better. They control the way the sex goes and how it ends. So when you’re using the girl on top position, you can have fun controlling your man. But at the same time, you need to read his signs so both of you can orgasm together.

If he seems to be distracted or in pain, slow down and see if it’s something you’re doing. Perhaps, you’re moving too aggressively and giving him a burn on his inner thighs. Or if he suddenly grabs you, stop moving your pelvis for a second to find out if he’s unable to hold on anymore. And most importantly, if his member starts throbbing inside you when you’re on top, he’s probably having a hard time holding himself back from blowing out, so slow down and help him get back his control or build yourself up to orgasm together.

#8 The motions. You can move vertically up and down when you’re on top. You can go fast and quick or slow and deeper, or you can move around his member in slow circles. Indulge in any motions as long as it feels good.

But don’t jump between motions too quickly. Give enough time for your partner to relate to your moves and he can move in the opposite direction and connect better with you, which will ensure that the sex is better. [Read: 10 fun sex games to play with your boyfriend and turn him on]

10 ways to make the girl on top position feel more sexy

Now that you know the right way to have sex when you’re on top, here are ten sexy tips to look sexier and seduce your man into having better sex.

#1 Play with your hair. Now and then, loosen your hair up and use your fingers to play with it carelessly when your man’s looking at you. You can pretend like you can’t notice him by turning your face away from him if you feel awkward. It’ll definitely arouse him a lot more just watching you enjoy yourself.

#2 Cup your breasts. All guys love watching a girl play with her breasts. As you bounce off him, cup your breasts with your hands and move them against the sides of your body. Additionally, you can take his hands and place it on your breasts as you grind around him. [Read: Why do guys like breasts like crazy?]

#3 Add in an oral. When you’re on top of him, stop now and then and slide downwards to his knees. And bend down and lick his member. It’ll turn your guy on a lot just watching you lick him up when he’s so wet around his member.

You can also take his member out while having sex and move your hip closer towards his face so he can give you some action too. [Read: How to make him go down on you without a push]

#4 Dominate him. If you’re on top, you know you’re in control. But don’t just think it, do something about it. Treat him like you’re in control of him, order him to do something, or yell at him. It’ll make you feel more powerful and sexy. And your man will feel more aroused getting dominated by you at the same time.

#5 Enjoy his body. What does your man do to your body when he’s on top? Do the same things to his body. Being on top is all about shedding your inhibitions and feeling in control. Lick his nipples, nibble his ears, grab his butt as you straddle him and do anything else that makes you feel good. Your man may actually be surprised and get turned on by seeing this new side of yours.

#6 Dirty talk. Don’t just bounce up and down the whole way. You’ll tire yourself off or the constant thwacking will end up boring both of you. Get close to him and gasp something sexy in his ears. Whisper something dirty that’ll turn both of you on more. And in the heat of the moment, let your imagination run wild and dirty. [Read: How to talk dirty to a guy and sound really sexy]

#7 Control him. Lean into him, grab his hands and push it behind his head or above his head. Hold his hands in yours and ride him harder. If you want to take it a notch higher in the sexy scale, tie his hands to the bedpost or even handcuff him or tie his hands together with a scarf. It’s all the little things that’ll make him feel more helpless, which will make the whole thing feel more sexy.

#8 Get rough. When you’re having wild, passionate sex, it’s obvious that you’ll feel hornier than other days. Use your nails against his chest and watch him moan in painful delight. Bite him and leave a few traces of love bites around his body or just cover his eyes with a blindfold and let him grope around your body as you get rough with him from top. [Read: 30 sexy ways to spice up your sex life]

#9 Show yourself off. Getting on top is all about losing your inhibition and feeling more confident about yourself. As you grind your pelvis against his, lean back and stretch your body. You’ll be able to reveal all, and you’d look a lot sexier too. And your man will definitely have a hard time keeping his hands off your body as you show yourself off. [Read: How to feel sexy and desirable all the time]

#10 Let him hold you. Staying on top and moving aggressively against him for more than a few minutes can leave you exhausted. To avoid feeling weak with fatigue and ruining the mood, give your man some control now and then.

Grab both his hands and place it against your waist as you move up and down on him. And press his hands firmly against your body so he gets the hint to lift you up and down along with your own momentum. It’ll help ease your sex workout and make him feel involved too. And by doing that, both of you can actually last longer and enjoy the girl on top position for much longer.

How to ride a man and look sexy at the same time

Riding a man is easy.

All you need to do is get on top on him, and go with the motions.

But for a first timer or someone who hasn’t really been riding a man often enough, there are many things you need to know to make a ride feel sexy and look even sexier.

Riding a man can be messy at most times.

If you’re feeling all sweaty while riding a man for the first time, that’s the least of your problems really.

Your hair would be flying all over the place and sticking all over you, you’d get cramps in your knees and you’d feel more tired than a round of the Insanity workout.

The good side of riding a man

Without getting into the positions and tips just yet, here are a couple of good traits about riding a man in bed.

#1 When both lovers take turns to be on top, it keeps the relationship exciting and fresh. It gives both of you equal control in bed while having sex and no partner feels dominated.

#2 Your man will actually think you’re a sexy, wild thing when you push him down and get on top of him. You’ll appear more confident, more powerful and more wild. And for a guy who’s used to being on top, he’ll be happy to just sit back and watch you take control while getting naughty. [Read: 12 foreplay moves for men that always work]

The best positions to ride a man

This is pretty simple. When you’re on top of him and letting him penetrate you, just sit in a manner that feels good. It’ll come naturally, and you don’t really have to memorize any names for it. After all, there’s a new sex position with a fancy name getting added to the list every single day!

Here are three easy positions you can use while riding a man.

#1 Facing each other. Make him lie down on his back. Sit on top of him and place your hands on his chest or on his knees. This way you’re facing him while sitting down. You’d look really sexy and your man will love the view he’s getting.

#2 Facing away from him. In this position, you sit down on your man who’s lying down but face away from him so your butt faces him while you look towards his feet. If your guy’s a butt guy who loves a sexy butt more than an eyeful of boobs, then he’d love this position. [Read: 20 things that turn a guy on sexually when he sees a girl]

The only negative with this position is that both of you can’t really kiss or do much with each other’s faces because you’re both not facing each other.

#3 Cuddling up. You can start off by sitting down on your man with your feet on either side of your man’s chest. But after he penetrates you, bend both his knees up so you can lean your back against his thighs. And get your boyfriend to sit up so it feels like both of you are actually sitting down and cuddling each other, while penetrating at the same time.

If you feel uncomfortable about showing off too much of your body while sitting on him, the cuddle can be a great sex position. It’ll cover your body up so you don’t have to feel uncomfortable, and at the same time, it’ll make the whole position feel more intimate. [Read: How to look attractive in bed when you're with your man]

Riding a man and what your guy would think of you

Riding a man is a very dominant and confident position. While this may come easy for many girls, most girls still find the thought of shedding their inhibitions while watching their breasts gallop in midair over a man intimidating.

For a few girls, they need to be in a relationship long enough to actually get on top and feel secure about it. [Read: How to make out with a guy like a sex goddess]

If you want to ride a man, make sure you’re not the only one doing all the riding. The one on top is always the one who controls the sex and orgasms. So switch places a couple of times so both of you can feel in control of the sexual escapade.

On one hand, getting on top takes the control away from your man, but your sexual confidence will end up turning him on a lot more. Push him onto the bed, let him know just how horny you are and sit on top of him. He’ll understand that you want to take the lead, and he’ll definitely be excited to see that he’s turning you on so much that you want to control the sexual act. [Read: Easy tips to make your boyfriend want you more than ever!]

And as long as both of you share equal time on top, he’d even enjoy just lying down and watching the sexy show while you sway and grind circles over his member.

A lady takes the air out of a room when she walks in and makes all other women feel less like a woman. Find out how to be a lady with these 10 steps. By Francesca Marie

A lady is the epitome of womanhood.

She’s grand and gorgeous, grabs attention without secret glances, and demands respect without words.

She’s the kind of woman other women want to be and other men want to be with.

A lady knows just what to do in any circumstance.

She’s aware and strong, but yet doesn’t make her man feel less like a man when he’s around her.

The traits of a real lady

Most people assume a lady has to dress like she’s walked out of the Victorian era, and behave like she’s a snotty, spoilt princess who loves frowning at other women and looking down at men.

But in reality, a lady is nothing like that.

A lady is someone who makes everyone around her feel loved and respected no matter where she is.

She blends in when she has to, and stands out gracefully when the need arises.

But beyond all that, a lady is someone who makes her man swell with pride and want her more every day.

How to be a lady

If you want to know how to be a lady, don’t fret over the behavior of others or fuss over the arrangement of spoons at a dinner party. Just learn to carry yourself gracefully, and talk to people like you would to a dear friend in a quiet place.

Don’t get it?

Well, just use these 10 steps and let them guide you through the passage of transformation from a woman to a real lady.

#1 Be elegant and graceful. Learn to carry yourself with elegance when you have company no matter where you are, be it at home or out with friends. Don’t clumsily crash on tables while walking or plonk yourself on the couch like you’ve had too much to drink. A real lady is always graceful and feminine. [Read: How to be graceful and elegant all the time]

#2 Make your man feel like a real man. Men love feeling like the protectors in the relationship. They don’t care who has control of the relationship as long as they “feel” like they’re controlling it. Play by the games of evolution. Let your man take the place of the protector while you play your part as a damsel who needs him around.

Give your man a lot of attention and always make him feel special. And always remember to ask for his assistance even if you’re fully capable of doing it yourself. As long as it’s a chore that feels manly, he’ll help you out with a grin on his face. [Read: Why men love a damsel in distress so much]

And the more you make your man feel like he’s the protector of the relationship, the more he’ll love you and want to be with you.

#3 Be pleasant to the ears. No one likes a loudmouth, be it a guy or a girl. If you want to be a lady, learn to control your decibel level. Speak softly and avoid shrieking unless you’re excited by something *ladies always look cute when they shriek excitedly*.

Smile a lot and always try to involve the people around you into a pleasant conversation. A lady doesn’t brag about herself and her communication skills, she makes everyone else do that involuntarily for her!

#4 Bad language and rude gestures. This is a compete no-no. There are so many ways to express yourself without the use of vulgar language or gestures. Of course, on a rare occasion, it’s completely acceptable to use a cuss word or two. But consciously put in an effort to avoid using bad language, especially when you’re in the company of many people.

#5 Flirting comes naturally to ladies. Well, flirt with men if you must and if you enjoy it, but never indulge in it when your man is around you. And even if you’re sweet talking with another guy when your man steps in, wrap your hands around your own man to let everyone else know that you’re already taken. [Read: How to flirt with a guy without really flirting at all]

The only men who feel insecure are the ones who feel like their girlfriend or wife is a potential cheater. If you make your man feel confident about your relationship by introducing him to any other man you meet without a worry in the world, your man won’t have any worries about the relationship either.

#6 Don’t wash your laundry in public. A lady never makes an ugly scene in public unless she has no choice. If you have minor differences with your man or if you’re upset with him about something, don’t bring that conversation up when you’re in the company of others. It’ll only make your relationship seem fragile, and at times, it may even emasculate your man. [Read: How to be a happy couple that’s envied by other couples]

Remember this, a lady stands up for her man in public, even if she questions him in private.

#7 Be aware of the world around you. A lady is always aware of the world around her. She’s not just a pretty doll who knows how to dress and look good. This may take a while to master, but spend a good hour reading the newspapers and watching the news every day. Don’t be the dumb, pretty lass who needs her man around to add two numbers or tell her about the presidential elections because she’s too dimwitted to understand what’s going on herself.

A real lady is smart, even shrewd when need be, and she’s always ready to give advice to her man or anyone else who needs her advice. [Read: How much should a girl dumb it down to impress a guy?]

#8 Be a gracious host and a charming guest. A lady is a people’s person. So if you want to be one, you need to learn to speak to people warmly when you’re a guest. And when you’re a host, you need to make your guests feel right at home around you.

Have you ever met a woman or two who make you feel so comfortable and relaxed within a few minutes of meeting them? Well, that’s a definite trait of a lady. She’s gracious, fun and knows how to make people feel important and loved.

#9 Learn your P’s and Q’s. Manners are everything if you want to be a lady. Learn to ask for something you want with a “please”, and make sure you thank anyone who helps you warmly. When you genuinely mean your p’s and q’s, the people you speak too will feel special just to talk to you. [Read: What men like in a woman more than anything else]

#10 Don’t go soft. Just because you’re behaving like a lady and your man’s ready to help you all the time shouldn’t make you soft. Be strong, smart and savvy. Your man may like helping you now and then. But if he feels like you can’t do anything by yourself, he’ll start to get frustrated easily. [Read: 13 clingy girlfriend signs and how to avoid it]

Remember, the key to being a lady is to ask a man for help, but always look for subtle ways to let him realize that you could do it yourself. By asking for his help like you need it, you’re not just asking him for help, you’re making him feel more like a man by making him feel more powerful in the relationship.

Things to avoid doing just because you’re a lady

Don’t get carried away just because you feel like a perfect lady who’s all full of charisma and grace. Here are three things you need to keep in mind so you don’t cross the line from being a lady and turn bitchy. [Read: 15 signs you're turning into a high maintenance woman]

#1 Don’t ever make your man feel small and irrelevant just because you’re completely capable of handling your own life on your own.

#2 Don’t go correcting everyone else because you think *you’re better than them* or smarter than them. If you really do have to point a flaw, be very discreet about it.

#3 Don’t ever be snotty or mean to women who aren’t as graceful as you. You may now understand the traits of a fine lady, but that gives you no excuse to treat other lesser women badly. [Read: How to make your man happy in 20 little ways]

Use these 10 steps on how to be a lady, and the next time you’re with your friends or at a party, you’ll see how the world will start to treat you, just the way a real lady should be treated!

Do you feel like you’re losing your identity or your peace of mind in a relationship? You may not realize this but you may be in a toxic relationship. By Natalia Avdeeva

Toxic relationships are all around us.

Have you ever been in a relationship where you feel more stressed and tired rather than happy and glowing?

You may unknowingly be trapped in a relationship that’s leaving you drained and angry.

Toxic relationships come in many hues.

Sometimes, we date toxic people.

And at other times, we have friends and even family who are toxic for our lives.

[Read: 10 types of toxic friends you need to avoid]

What is a toxic relationship?

A toxic relationship is a relationship that’s detrimental to your life and existence.

When you enter a toxic relationship with a person who’s not an ideal match for you, you may actually end up losing yourself and becoming a person you wouldn’t be too happy to be.

Some people that we date fill our lives with happiness.

And toxic people just drain the happiness out of our lives.

Lovers with toxic personalities may not necessarily be bad people.

But when they impose their negative way of life on you, it could affect the way you look at life and destroy you from the inside.

The bad part about toxic relationships is that you can’t really recognize it at first.

But as time goes by, something about them starts to change and everything they do may start to frustrate you. [Read: Signs you're falling out of love with your partner]

Of course, you won’t be able to blame them because they’d still appear to be the same person you fell in love with.

So what’s changed then?

The 15 types of toxic relationships

Toxic relationships are created in two circumstances, when you enter a relationship with someone who’s completely incompatible with your way of life, or when you enter a relationship with someone who’s just a really bad person.

There are many kinds of toxic lovers, but they all find their way into one of these types of toxic relationships.

So if you ever feel like you’re trapped in a bad relationship with one of these types of lovers, look for the exit door, because no matter how much you think you can change the relationship for the better, you just can’t. Well, unless your lover makes a conscious effort to become a more accommodating person. [Read: How to let go of a relationship that's bad for you]

#1 Controlling relationships. Does your partner want to have a say in everything you do? Or do they like to know everything you’re doing, even if it means interrupting you aggressively to find out what you’re doing right that instant?

If you’re in a relationship where your partner behaves like the approver where everything you do has to pass through their scrutiny, you’re definitely in the middle of a toxic romance. [Read: 15 subtle signs that reveal a controlling partner]

#2 Jealous partners. Is your partner overly jealous when it comes to you spending time with your friends? Or do they constantly feel like you’re sharing a certain sexual chemistry with someone even if you have a happy laugh while chatting over the phone? A bit of jealousy can be cute. But when it affects your life, it’s definitely not good for you. [Read: How to make your jealous partner not-so-jealous]

#3 Bitchy lovers. Does your lover sit down with you and constantly nag about their bad days or whine about their problems until you feel like crawling under the couch or running away from them? Partners who find happiness only while complaining about their life can turn you into a negative person too.

#4 A negative thinking partner. A negative thinking partner is one of the worst of the lot. Does your partner think life is extremely unfair to them? Or do they only see the negative side to everything in their life? These kinds of partners will suck the happiness out of your life even before you realize it. [Read: Is negative thinking ruining your life?]

#5 Puts you down all the time. This is the “I told you so” kind of partner. Instead of helping you out, they always look for a way to make you feel like a dumb, spoilt child. Perhaps, they have issues in life or they just love feeling powerful by putting you down all the time.

#6 Cheating partner. Have you caught your partner cheating on you once? And then again? Some partners just can’t stay committed to one relationship, and there’s nothing you can do about it. If a partner doesn’t respect you or think you’re important enough, they’re bound to cheat on you constantly. [Read: 25 reasons behind why women cheat so easily]

#7 Lying lover. Some lovers just can’t help but lie all the time. You may know they’re lying, but you can’t prove it, can you? When you’re in a toxic relationship like this, you’d end up feeling more insecure and frustrated, and may even feel paranoid about the whole relationship, while your partner laughs and lies away all the time.

#8 Abusive partner. An abusive partner doesn’t always have to abuse you physically. At times, even vocal abuses can have the same impact. If you partner raises a hand at you or threatens you with abuses for any reason, don’t put up with it. The more you stay in a toxic relationship like that, the more you’d make your partner feel dominant over you.

#9 The blaming lover. Are you in a relationship with someone who constantly takes their frustrations out on you or blames you for their mistakes? You may think they’re acting childish, but your partner may genuinely think it’s your fault and may even get increasingly frustrated with you. The next time you get blamed for something you haven’t done, stand your ground. Or you’ll end up in a messy relationship where both of you hate each other. [Read: Top 20 reasons for divorce that most couples overlook]

#10 An extremely insecure partner. When you’re in a relationship with someone and are forced to spend most of your day away from them, a little bit of insecurity is inevitable, especially if you’re meeting good looking members of the opposite sex all the time.

But if your partner is extremely insecure and constantly needs tons of reassurance and proof of love from you, perhaps it’s time to have that talk. Or you’ll end up getting frustrated with your partner all the time.

#11 A demanding partner. Demanding partners expect the best from you, but yet they never return the favor. They constantly try to boss around you or tell you how lucky their friends are for having such understanding partners. Being in a relationship like this will make you feel helpless and depressed, because no matter what you do, you’ll never be good enough.

#12 Over the top perfectionists. Perfectionists are great people to be in a relationship with. But if you’re dating someone who’s obsessive about the way they want things in their life, it’ll always leave you frustrated. And obsessive people with a perfectionist streak in them will always find faults with you. Can you really live with someone like that?

#13 Narcissistic partners. Narcissistic partners are extremely materialistic and shallow. Your partner may love you, but they still treat you like an accessory. They feel embarrassed when you haven’t dressed your best when you step out together, and the whole world revolves around them, no matter what you do or say. Unless you like being treated like a doll, this relationship will definitely not help with your self esteem. [Read: 15 signs of a high maintenance woman]

#14 The competitive lover. Everything is a competition for these types of lovers. They may say they love you and they may even care about you. But they will never allow you to beat them at anything, be it a game or when it comes to earning more money. They’re sore losers and always want to be pampered. And most of all, they love seeing you fall in life so they can magnanimously help you back on your feet. [Read: 7 secret signs of a bad relationship]

#15 The manipulative partner. Does your partner constantly play with words or try to trick you into believing something by manipulating you? If you’re dating someone who tries to lie or manipulate you into getting things done their way all the time, perhaps it’s time you let them know you’re not that dumb to fall for such childish tricks.
