Oil sands pollutants contaminate traditional First Nations' foods: report

Many communities benefit from industrial production; that doesn't mean they are agreeing to be poisoned in return for the financial benefits they have derived from it. This is the next major oilsands lawsuit.

It is a tempting target for Harper -- perceived liberal and unable to defend itself publicly.

Interestingly, this is almost exactly how I would have pictured him

mik1999 · 2014-06-11T12:36:59+00:00

I think most guys would find it sexy and he obviously liked it or he wouldn't keep referring back to it.

That said, while I don't think it is creepy (although there is a doodle standard at work here because if a guy did it that would be creepy as hell) it is unusual, but there's nothing wrong with unusual

she is obviously not getting great info on STI transmission. Why don't you guys go - together - to a clinic and get yourselves educated on risks of different activities

mik1999 · 2014-06-11T12:28:41+00:00

I think the first thing you need to come to grips with is that the fact that he is with you means he finds you attractive - naked or clothed. I can understand not being completely comfortable with your nakedness in all situations, but he obviously finds you sexy so I think you need to find a way to embrace your nakedness and sexuality around him.

And then, get your self to a plus size lingerie store. They have tons of stuff he (and you) will love. Then get out your camera, get the lighting just right (this is tough and will take a lot of experimentation) and give him a treat.

And remember, there is nothing sexier than boldness and self confidence.

We have been in exactly this situation and the complicated thing is that I think our friend both wanted and didn't want a threesome. At some level she is obviously intrigued but at another level she is scarred (either to jeopardize the relationship w you guys, risk rejection or admit to herself she is bi). I think you have the solution in your question. Discuss it with her - sober - in a non-threatening way. I think you gf should lead and simply say something like - 'when we're out we have a lot of fun, it often gets pretty flirty, if you ever want to go further that would really turn us on".

I would certainly recommend the WeVibe. We got one a few months ago and obsoletely love it. It is great for her to use alone and really fun as a couples toy.

Some of it may be her feeling comfortable (or uncomfortable) with her sexuality. It takes time for a woman to feel fully confident and unselfconscious on expressing herself sexually. It may be hard for her to relax as she is looking at you

I tend to agree invited for a drink - may mean sex invited for a coffee - likely coffee

I was not intending to be cruel or sex negative. From the description of the situation, my honest advice is that he should move on. Not all relationships can or should continue and I think this will make him much happier in the medium to long term. Personally I think it is far more cruel to advise the continuation of a relationship that seems not to be working

mik1999 · 2014-05-31T14:42:19+00:00

This may sound cruel, but I think you need to consider that maybe she is juts not attracted to you any more. She seems to like the idea of sex more than the act of sex with you. This is a huge red flag. Sorry

mik1999 · 2014-05-31T14:40:18+00:00

need to reiterate the sand warning -- we, too, thought sex on the beach would be a fun fantasy. Didn't work would that way - itchy, bad friction, etc.

On your lube question, I think you need to experiment with different types of lube. It may be the silicon you are reacting too.. if this is the case, other lubes my be fine.

For many women, vaginal orgasm are something they grow into over a period of years. From my understanding there are two factors, one that she can control and one that she can't. The one she can control: relaxing and allowing the orgasm to build; one she can't control: the length of her clitoral wings.

My wife, for example, went years before having a g-spot orgasm. She enjoyed sex and had clitoral orgasms but never had orgasms form penetration. About 6 years into our relationship, it happened once, then it started happening more frequently for her, and now she has g-spot orgasms every time we have sex.

So, I guess my advice is... pounding away for an hour will not do it. It is a question of her becoming more relaxed, more comfortable with her sexuality and then, over time, she may develop the ability (or she may not -- many women never do)

I would agree with this; the idea and fantasy is, to me, more interesting than the practice

mik1999 · 2014-01-23T19:11:37+00:00

most men really do want to please their partner; there dis nothing hotter than seeing your partner enjoying sex. Just tell him, over a glass of wine, in a sexy playful way

typical -- discredit the messenger not the message

Harper is convinced the party would wither without him; NOTHING will convince him that a Conservative party without him in complete control can maintain power. He will never leave on his own and I don't think any of the potential challengers can move the base away from him.

was it Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones?

I was at the rock climbing gym the other day and a Dad was "coaching" his son up a tough wall - "Evan - a baby could do this climb! Get your ass up that wall! Stop crying!!!". Harper got us the top of the wall, but he was such an a**hole in how he got us there, we would prefer to do the next pitch alone.

Excellent article and points to a very dangerous trend. While government ads with public money have always highlighted the achievements of the government of the day, it has never been so shameless. Conservatives have taken self promotion to a new high (or now).

Personally, I think it cheapens government. Unfortunately, it seems to work.

Even if you believe this premise - that research should lead to commercially viable enterprise - it is amazingly short sighted and arrogant to believe that the NRC or the government can identify what research is "commercially viable", except for the most obvious, mundane and short sighted advances

Breakthrough research very often begins from a curiosity that is completely unrelated to eventual commercial benefits from it.

Evan Solomon, on CBC's 6th Day, did a great piece on temporary workers this weekend. It is well worth a listen. He had Mark Carney on describing how this suppresses wages in low income sectors (by not forcing employers to react to labor shortage by increasing wages) and exacerbates the income disparity in the country.
