Wanted: A new national political party (1)
7:30:47 AMFemi Ajasa

You may be young and infantile" was the title of an article in the PUNCH, on Monday, January 4, 2016, by Solaade Ayo-Aderele on page 16. Thanks to Ayo-Aderele, it suddenly occurred to me that you might also be old and infantile. Many politicians in Nigeria today, almost all over forty, are behaving, talking and acting like kids. Incredible as it might appear to thinking people, some adults are actually talking seriously about reviving the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP - which is already at the graveyard waiting to be buried. Wait for the explanation.

'Adult nursing': Men who compete with babies over breast milk!
1:58:29 PMFemi Ajasa

A couple of years back, when I first learnt of 'adult nursing' I was greatly amused. Was there no depth these men would not sink in their fixation with boobs? Now they'd carried it off to a ridiculous extent. (Adult nursing) is the term used for men who enjoy being breastfed by a nursing mother! According to James, one of these rare (is it really rare, I wonder) breed of men: "I once tried adult nursing with my ex-girlfriend and loved the intimacy and comfort it gave me. I sought this woman who offered her milk for a fee, out to experience the same feeding. I know adult nursing is often sexual but I personally don't get a sexual thrill from it. ... "

Could I have gotten pregnant ?
12:57:07 PMTony Chinonso

I've recently become sexually active, and I'm kind of nervous about the whole thing. My mum doesn't know. My question was this: Is there a way to tell if you're pregnant within the first week of having intercourse? My boyfriend always prematurely ejaculates, but we use a condom every time. I'm not on any form of contraception, though I'd like to be. I'm worried his semen could have gotten inside me and I could get pregnant.
