17 Questions to ask a woman on a date

You don’t need to have all the answers to all the
questions on your first date either. There is beauty in peeling back the layers and getting to know someone.

For many people, putting together a dating profile is the easy bit (although believe me, there are plenty who find this task nearly impossible). They even think that chatting in emails or on the phone isn’t so bad either but when it comes to actually going out on a date — the very reason they were online dating in the first place — this is where they panic. Seriously.
They worry they’ll get found out (whatever that means) or that they’ll get tongue-tied and have nothing to say. They fear they aren’t interesting and will bore their date, hence make a fool of themselves. These thoughts are actually real to them. But let me tell you something: it’s just thoughts, and your thoughts aren’t facts.
The fear is real, I get that, I’ve felt it many times! You are anxious and going out on a date with a relative stranger can feel awkward. Remember that your counterpart is likely to be as nervous as you though, even if they don’t look it!
As a coach I listen a lot more than I talk, it’s the nature of what I do. It’s also a strategy that works well if you find yourself nervous. People, on the whole, love talking about themselves. So, to take the pressure off, arm yourself with some great questions to ask your date.
Remember that genuine interest makes all the difference. You don’t need to have all the answers to all the questions on your first date either. There is beauty in peeling back the layers and getting to know someone, it’s something that really could end up taking a lifetime!
Here are 17 questions I’d love to have been asked when out on a date:

1. What’s one thing you wish you’d known 20 years ago?
2. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
3. If you didn’t live where you currently live and you could choose anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
4. Who’s your role model? Who inspires you?
5. Who’s your best friend and what do you love about him/her?
6. What are you reading at the moment?
7. What’s your favourite way to spend the weekend?
8. What do you do for fun?
9. What was the last film you watched that moved you/made you laugh out loud/inspired you?
10. Who has had the greatest influence on your life so far? (Parent/grandparent/schoolteacher/boss/colleague?)
11. What are 5 things you couldn’t do without? (Not oxygen, water, world peace! They might be things you carry in your handbag/purse at all times!)
12. What’s your dream job if you’re not currently doing it?
13. Where do you go when you want to feel calm/happy/peaceful?
14. Tell me something about yourself that might surprise me.
15. What’s your proudest moment in your life so far?
16. If you had 24 hours to do whatever you liked in your city what would you spend it doing?
17. What’s the greatest risk you’ve ever taken?

 

WhatsApp, Facebook and Google face tough new privacy rules under EC proposal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Messaging services such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Gmail will face tough new rules on the tracking of users under a revision to the ePrivacy Directive proposed by the European Commission on Tuesday.

The new legislation seeks to reinforce the right to privacy and control of data for European citizens, with messaging, email and voice services – such as those provided by Facebook, Google and Microsoft – forced to guarantee the confidentiality of conversations and metadata around the time, place and other factors of those conversations..

Listening to, tapping, intercepting, scanning or the storing of communications will not be allowed without the consent of the user, unless it is critical for billing or other purposes. Companies will have to ask for the explicit consent of users before being able to use their data for advertising purposes, which most use to fund services provided for free to end-users.
Andrus Ansip, vice-president for the digital single market said: “Our proposals will deliver the trust in the Digital Single Market that people expect. I want to ensure confidentiality of electronic communications and privacy. Our draft ePrivacy Regulation strikes the right balance: it provides a high level of protection for consumers, while allowing businesses to innovate.”

The proposals also ban unsolicited and nonconsensual electronic communication, and will require marketing calls to display their phone number or use a special prefix only for marketing calls.

Companies falling foul of the new laws will face fines of up to 4% of their global turnover, in line with the separate General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) set to be applied in 2018.

The EC’s proposal looks to close the perceived regulation gap between traditional telecoms companies and predominantly US-based internet communications companies. It extends some of the rules governing telecoms operators to so-called over-the-top services, while also allowing telecom companies to use customer metadata – such as the duration and location of calls – to provide additional services and make more money, something they are barred from doing under the current rules.

The telecoms industry said the proposals were still stricter for them than web companies. Lise Fuhr, director general of the European telecoms lobby ETNO said: “Unlike others, telcos risk being prevented from expanding consumer choice by using traffic and location data for big data analytics, Internet of Things and connected driving services.”
Online advertisers also warned that overly strict rules would undermine the ability of many websites to fund themselves and offer free services. Yves Schwarzbart, head of policy and regulatory affairs at the Internet Advertising Bureau, said: “It will particularly hit those companies that … find it most difficult to talk directly to end users and what I mean by that is tech companies that operate in the background and facilitate the buying and selling of advertising, rather than the ones that the user directly engages with.”
Online advertising generates £10bn ($12bn) of revenue for publishers and content creators in the UK alone, according to the IAB.

The proposal requires approval from the European Parliament and member states before becoming law,. It is set to join the much needed update to data protection voted through under the GDPR, which will apply to the UK from 25 May 2018, despite the Brexit process.
 

How to Start Swinging with your Partner

Do couples actually swing in real life? Why do couples swing in the first place?

As complex as our anatomical set up and mind, our nature, characteristics, lifestyle and social behaviors are unique phenomena too.

We have an insatiable appetite for at least one thing in life, be it food or intimacy, as examples.
Leaving food on the table, we stray into a familiar territory to take a dig on an act of physical intimacy. Intimacy is a term stretched to every direction and now it’s slanting towards swingers and couples that want to start swinging.

Swinging is a non-monogamous activity of physical intimacy treated much like any other social activity, that can be experienced as a couple. It has a recreational perspective. Swingers indulge in intimate acts with someone other than one’s spouse/primary partner, with the full knowledge and consent of that person.

Swingers have been thriving since the beginning of recorded time. In the era of flower power, swinging was a very “in-thing” and among the most popular “culture”. It has had different social standings through time, of course! The phenomenon of swinging may be seen as part of the revolution of recent decades.

Swinging is like a sport for people who believe physical attraction is part of human nature and should be openly enjoyed by a committed or married couple.

Typically, swinging activities occur when a married or otherwise committed couple engages in carnal activities with another couple, multiple couples, or a single individual.

The most common method is an adult male and female couple, meeting other pairs for lovemaking and physical intimacy, and sometimes ongoing intimate relationships. The activity may occur at a swing party, a couple-to-couple encounter, a liaison, or with a third person in a threesome.

How to start swinging – The different types of swinging couples

During these events, swingers acknowledge lovemaking as a game and participants as team-mates. There are few ground rules, but none etched in stone. The prominent carnal activities, but definitely not limited to, are several to mention, but a few of the most popular ones include:

Exhibitionism

It is the form of pleasure which involves making out with a partner while being watched by at least one other person.

Voyeurism

Watching others doing or performing the big bang. It is acceptable in the group event, but not in private areas.

Soft Swap

It involves kissing and stroking and the basics in blowing a guy or tickling a girl down south, with multiple partners. This can be indulged during the threesome, group romp, or while swapping partners.

Peak Swap

This is to have penetrative physical sex with someone other than one’s partner. The idea is almost the definition of swinging, but not necessarily the same.

Group Game

This term signifies the activities involving multiple players in the same lay-out. It usually defines a group of four or more people interacting physically. The most common is two couples, although it can be any gender of four or more people.

Ménage a Trios

Also known as threesomes, this is one of the most common methods of starting in the swinging lifestyle for beginners. A lot of couples will carry on with threesomes long after they become an integral part in swinging. In this, all three involved people interact with each other in bed.

Extreme Measures

These include things such as spanking, bondage, and water sports. The majority of these are very uncommon at most swingers’ parties unless the hosts have chosen a theme for the night, in which case you will be notified well before the night of the party.

Bi-Factor

People of the same gender interacting with each other sexually. This is much more common between women than men, but it doesn’t mean every woman will indulge in it. Bisexuality between men is extremely rare in the swinging community, and is usually frowned upon if not organized prior, and is usually preferred in a separate area.

Seven Sexiest Types of Sex You Can Ever Have!

There are many different types of sex, but there are a few types that can get you moist in an instant. And they’re the sexiest types of sex you’ve ever indulged in.

It may not be clean, it may be deviant, but whether it’s a fetish or a craving, if you find yourself in a circumstance like this, you can’t help but want to have sex. With anyone!

The different types of sex

Coming up with a list of times to have sex is simple. There’s make up sex, break up sex, break up and make up sex, and a million other reasons to have sex.

But then, there are a few times when you can’t think of anything but sex, and wouldn’t want anything but sex.

And at times like these, you have the sizzling list of the seven sexiest types of sex. If you’ve experienced any of the sexiest types, lucky you! And if you haven’t, well, you’ve still got the time!

If you ever find yourself in any of these seven circumstances, you can’t help but get naughty in your mind and hope for something sexy to happen real soon.

#7 Sexual tension sex

This type of sex is what fantasies are made of. You dream about it, and you want it, but just don’t know how to go about it. You shake hands and you linger. Both of you hug each other and you linger.

You kiss each other’s cheeks while saying goodbye and it’s so close it’s a kiss on the lips each time. You touch each other often, and your hands take a while to move away.

There’s so much sexual tension in the air you could cut it with a knife. And soon, one day, the sexual tension bubble bursts and you have the sexual tension type of sex.

It’s one of the best sex you can ever have. It may not last long, and you may do nothing fancy. But the passion and the sexual attraction you experience right there could burn a hole on the ground.

Many people fantasize about this, but they don’t really do anything more than use a hand. But if you ever take this forward, we assure you. The sex will be explosive!

#6 Talking dirty sex

This is one of the sexy types of sex that starts off with words. Two friends or new lovers start talking, and soon the talking gets dirty. They’re sitting next to each other and it goes like this.

“I wish we were alone…”

“Why?”

“Cause you look so sexy and there’s so many things I wanna do to you…”

“Oh yeah, what do you wanna do?”

“I wanna tear your clothes up and #$^&% …”

“Uh huh… yeah…? Umm… And then…?”

And you know how this goes. Phone sex is good, but talking dirty type of sex when you’re face to face will leave the couch wet. Ever tried this? This type of sex gives you a huge rush of anticipation and sexual urges, and the sex is oh-so-wicked!

#5 Getting drunk with friends sex

This is group sex of another kind. It happens all the time, and it’s hot. Have you ever been to a house party? Of course, you have.

A few rounds of drinks and tequila later, all house parties with guys and girls go the same way. It starts to lean towards sex, no matter what the age. We just can’t help it, bring in a few drinks and a few sexy people, and all anyone wants to talk about is sex. Well, unless, you’re the geeky torchlight holder who love talking about ghosts.

When we’re kids, we play spin the bottle and kiddie truth and dare. When we get older, we play the same games. But it gets sexier and better. The dares are so much more revealing and bold, and the truth is such a turn on.

“Of all the people here other than your partner, who would you have sex with right now?”

Yeah, seriously, we know the next dare after this truth, don’t we? And even if it’s not a bit of truth or dare or spin the bottle, it’s groping time. Couples and singles who want to mingle start groping each other in drunken fervor. And soon, one couple gets bold and starts pushing tee shirts up and pulling pants down. And then you get it, one of the best types of sex that’s worth talking about for years to come.

#4 Sleeping with another couple sex

This is an exciting type of sex that’s starts shy and ends confusing. Have you and your partner ever gone on a vacation with another couple? And when you do that, have you ever shared a room? It can happen when you’ve had one drink too many or stay in one room with the other couple for far too long and it’s easier to spend the night together.

When two couples lie down in the same room, the air starts to fill with sexual adrenalin. No one knows why, but it just happens.

Both couples start to talk about sex and soon, they indulge in a bit of PDA.

And one thing leads to another and before you know it, you’re talking dirty with the other couple and pushing each other to do more.

“Yeah, let me see you two kiss each other…”

“Now it’s your turn to unhook her bra…”

“Let me see you both do the 69…”

Its starts coy and shy, but as the night progresses, the moves get steamy and really arousing. The two couples don’t have to have start swapping. Just making out and having sex in front of another couple that’s having sex is a high that can hardly ever be achieved. Both couples lie in the same bed, and at times, body parts touch and sometimes, more things happen. But if you’re looking for one of the sexier types of sex, there are few things that can beat this.

#3 Masseuse sex

Have you ever had a full body massage in the privacy of your room? There’s a big chance you have. Again, have you had a sexy masseur of the opposite sex moving their hands all over you?

There are two kinds of massages, the clean kind and the other kind. If you’ve ever had a full body massage where you let the masseur’s hands rove almost all over your body, you’d know how sexy it can feel.

There you are, lying completely naked in front of a stranger as that person touches you in places only our partner has touched you. It’s exciting, and as the masseur’s hands linger near your inner thighs, it’s bound to create ripples of pleasure that can give you some warmth on a lonely night.

Now having sex with the masseur is a definite fantasy. But whether it’s with a real masseur or with your partner role playing with you after the masseur’s gone, that depends on whether you’re single or in love.

#2 Taboo sex

If there’s ever a type of sex that makes for some of the best fantasies, it’s taboo sex. It’s deviant, but it’s one of the sexiest types of sexes. What makes taboo sex so sexy is that fact that it’s so taboo. It’s taboo to even voice it out. But we’ve all been there.

Have you been out with your girlfriend or your wife, and met a friend of hers who’s so incredibly sexy you can’t take your eyes off her? Or have you ever spent an evening out with your brother-in-law or with your husband’s best friend when your husband’s away on a business trip? Sometimes, you can’t help but wonder how they look naked or how sexy it would be to sleep with them. And worse, at times you have a couple of drinks and even casual touches start to feel like horny, flirty touches. Ever been there? Having sex with someone you really shouldn’t be having sex with can make you reach for the skies faster than a space rocket on heat.

It’s sexy, taboo and that makes it one of the most desirable and sexually gratifying types of sex anyone can ever have. It’s so good, you’re not even allowed to think it!

#1 Passionate sex

We’ve gone through six of the sexiest types of sex, but we still haven’t introduced true love sex into the picture. Well, romantic couples may frown and wonder why, so we’ve given the sexiest type of sex to loving passionate sex, the type of sex that’s shared between two lovers who are truly in love.

Now quite frankly, bedroom sex between two people who are deeply in love for several years can never really feel as sexy and desirable as a fling thing. You know everything there is under the blanket and you’ve seen it every night for years. But there’s something else that makes this type of sex the sexiest kind.

When you’re truly in love with your partner, the sex is passionate and both of you know what either of you like in bed. The sex is more loving and intimate, and if you indulge in acts like tantric sex, it can be so passionate and orgasm inducing, you could actually burst into tears of passion.

While all the sexy types of sex are fun and a huge turn on, indulging in these every other day can be boring and soon, you may even start to detest it. But on the other hand, the more you indulge in passionate sex with your own lover, the better the sex and the intimacy gets.

Why crying after sex is nothing to be ashamed of - and may in fact be a compliment

Even if you pride yourself on your stiff upper lip above all else, there's probably a situation or stimulus which will elicit a little cry.

There's no shame in it, plus crying can be amazingly cathartic - psychic tears (triggered by an emotional response) do in fact contain a painkiller.

And we can just about cry in response to anything: Films, songs, stories, puppies - even sex .
Yes, someone having a post-coital sob fest in your arms may seem like an ego-bruiser, but it's not necessarily because it was a sub-par experience.

Crying after sex is perfectly natural

Speaking to The Tab , psychosexual therapist Denise Knowles explained why you might sometimes have to pass your bedfellow the tissues.

"For many [they cry] when they have orgasmed [because] when [the sex] comes to an end that sense of closeness, happiness and contentment is over."

However, emotional attachments aside, there is a scientific reason - hormones

Denise, who has 25 years experience in the field of psychosexual therapy explained how the happy, feel-good hormones such as oxytocin and dopamine are released

These post-sex tears fall into a rather bittersweet category which is neither really happy nor sad.
Denise continues, "It's not so much about it being sad tears, it's just about feeling like 'we've been really close and I'm sad that it's over', the concern is 'when am I ever going to be that close to my partner again'?"

Forget the iPhone 7 Apple's new handset could be called iPhone 6 SE

 

Rumours about when the iPhone 7 will launch have been circulating for months. 

However, the latest puts a new twist on the mystery, claiming it won't be called the iPhone 7 at all.

 

Instead, it will be called the iPhone 6SE - leaving the iPhone 7 for next year, when apple is expected to introduce a major overhaul of its iconic handset. 

Evan Blass, today tweeted: 'iPhone 2016 release: week of September 12th'. 

The launch date has been suggested by mobile phone leaker Evan Blass, who has accurately leaked images and details about other phones in the past.

 

Mr Blass followed up his first tweet with a second, which read: 'Just to clarify, this refers to the retail release, not the launch event. To be even more specific, it should happen on Friday, Sept. 16th.'

 

The mobile phone leaker, who is also a Mobile Reporter at Venture Beat, is best known for leaking Android-based smartphone details. 

 

His prediction of the launch date for Apple's newest phone is in line with their previous announcements, such as the iPhone 6, which launched in September 2015.

As well as the launch date, some rumours about specifications have also been circulating. 

 

Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported: 'Instead of 16GB as a starting point for the entry-level iPhone, the new starting point will be 32GB, according to a person familiar with Apple’s iPhone plans.'

 

As well as ditching the 16GB model, rumours suggest that Apple will also be introducing a larger 256GB model.  

  

 

4 Things You Should Never Wear to a Wedding

Ah, summer. A time for beaches and barbecues and…a bevy of wedding invites. You’ve likely got a stacked schedule, so plan your outfits accordingly. Namely, avoid these five cardinal wedding-outfit sins.

1. a white dress

You know there’s always that one woman who shows up in ivory--and drives the bride to an early grave. At the very least, keep your fabrics in the taupe or blush territory, and save that white lace number for a graduation or garden party.

2. A pair of brand-new stilettos

We know, it’s your one chance to get really dressed up. But remember: You will be walking from table to table and you will be dancing till midnight. If you haven't adequately broken in those heels yet, you're asking for trouble. Either make sure to wear them in beforehand or choose a more sensible pair from the start.
 

3. Anything too revealing

Even if you think something looks good straight-on in front of the mirror, make sure to do a chair (and stairs) check. Weddings are a time of support--not a time for other guests to gossip about your Spanx line.

4. Anything outside the dress code

You may have the fiercest little cocktail frock you're dying to debut, but the dress code may be black-tie optional. And in that instance, you're better off in a long gown (so you don't have any chance of feeling underdressed).
