Health24.com | 3 really good reasons to have sex while you’re on your period

You Need Posted on by

Ever wondered if your period should get in the way of your sex life? The short answer is no. If you and your partner are okay with a little blood, there’s really no reason why you guys can’t do the deed while you bleed.

It’s no secret that during your period, your hormones are going insane – you’re tired, bloated, having major cravings… and you’re super horny. There’s really no medical reason why you can’t have period sex; in fact, period sex can actually do you a whole lot of good.

Don’t forget to take our sex survey – you could stand the chance of winning R5 000 in cash! 

1. It’s a natural painkiller

Orgasms = endorphins. The rush of endorphins helps to relieve pain, not just cramps, mind you, but headaches too. And another bonus: You’ll be feeling great – kicking PMS mood swings in the butt!

2. You’ll feel extra slick

Now, once you get past the thought of period sex being “eww”, think of the great benefit of not needing lube. Because you’re extra slick down there, sex could end up feeling even better. This is especially great if you’re someone who struggles to get “wet”.

3. Shorter periods

Yep, having period sex can possibly shorten your periods. This is because orgasms cause the uterus to contact, speeding up the shedding of the lining, leading to fewer bloody days.

A word of warning…

You can still fall pregnant during your period. The chances are quite slim, but best avoid it by using contraception. You should be using condoms when you are having sex, but especially during period sex. That’s because during your period you have a higher risk of contracting and spreading STIs, says sexual health practitioner Dr Elna Rudolph. 

If you’re uncomfortable with penetration, you can still use other forms of sexual play to stay intimate with your partner. Manual stimulation or oral sex with a dental dam, after a shower and with a fresh tampon in place hold no risk.

As you can see, there’s not much reason not to have sex while on your period. Just be honest with your partner and let them know what you like and what’s a no-go. If you’re worried about making a mess, why not try some shower sex or throw a towel on the bed – problem solved. And if you do happen to leave a few stains, some cold water and a little washing detergent should take care of that.

Sport24.co.za | Caster makes ‘dream come true’ in Nigeria

You Need Posted on by

Cape Town – South Africa produced another dominant performance on Day 3 of the 21st CAA African Senior Championships, raking in another 9 medals as they extended their lead at the top of the overall table in Asaba, Nigeria at the end of Friday.

Caster Semenya again showed her class by smashing the South African record in the 400m final, storming across the line in 49.96 to become the first SA woman to dip under 50 seconds in the one-lap dash.

She broke the previous mark held by Heide Seyerling, which had stood for nearly 18 years.

“It’s always been my dream to run under 50, and I think it was the right time. The conditions suited me,” said Semenya, who was nearly a full second ahead of her nearest opponent.

“For me, it’s always about having fun and waiting for the right time to execute.”

Semenya is set to compete again in the 800m and 4x400m relay events on Saturday and Sunday.

The national squad relay took no prisoners in the 4x100m Relay, charging home in 38.25 seconds, with Akani Simbine, Simon Magakwe, Emile Erasmus and Henricho Bruintjies missing the SA record by just 0.01.

“The more we believe in each other the better we become,” Bruintjies said.

“This is an individual sport but by coming together as a team there are more medals up for grabs, and I think we’re all understanding that now and showing up for the relays.”

Delivering a medal double, high jumper Chris Moleya bagged silver after clearing 2.26m to equal his personal best, and Mpho Links also stepped on the podium, with his best attempt of 2.15m earning him the bronze.

In other disciplines, Thapelo Phora set aPersonal Best of 45.14 to grab the silver medal in the 400m Men final and Fredriech Pretorius finished second in the Decathlon with 7 733 points.

“I had a slow start so I had to push hard to catch up, but my aim was to make the top two to be in the team for theIAAF Continental Cup, so I’m very happy,” Phora said.

Cornel Fredericks also took silver in the 400m Men Hurdles final, capping a superb comeback from injury troubles after a lengthy absence from the national team.

“Today was satisfying because it’s the first time I’ve represented South Africa since 2016 and it’s always an honour to run for the national team,” Fredericks said.

“The time wasn’t as fast as I expected but I’m happy with second place.”

Ischke Senekal earned bronze in theDiscus Throw Women with a best heave of 53.82m, with compatriots Riette Heyns (52.41m) and Yolandi Stander (48.35) ending fourth and sixth, respectively.

Long Jump star Lynique Beneke also took bronze in her specialist discipline with a 6.38m leap, while Zinzi Chabangu took fourth position (6.14m).

The SA 4x100m Relay team Women narrowly missed out on a medal, finishing fourth in 49.63, just 0.05 outside a podium place.

Siboniso Soldaka struggled in humid conditions in the 3 000m Men Steeplechase, settling for 11th place in 9:00.87.

With two days of competition left, South Africa had a total of 17 medals in the bag (five gold, seven silver and five bronze).

News24.com | Calls for more toilets as Khayelitsha shack dwellers resort to the bucket system

You Need Posted on by

Shack dwellers in Khayelitsha say they need the City of Cape Town to provide more toilets, reports GroundUp.

In one section of Enkanini informal settlement, dozens of residents rely on just two toilets situated near Chris Hani train station in Ezimfeneni. As a result, residents relieve themselves in buckets and empty these beside a nearby railway line. Others have dug pit latrines in their yards.

“After the City set up these toilets [in 2015], the number of people staying here increased to a point where two toilets cannot serve them adequately,” says community leader Lilian Zono.

Residents also now walk to a block of damaged and doorless toilets in another area. Thembinkosi Mcotshe said these toilets were last maintained and cleaned in June 2017.

“City of Cape Town plumbers used to come and fix the toilets when they were blocked, but they simply got tired of them and stayed away from them altogether,” he said.

“When you go to another area you face the possibility of coming across thugs who are out to mug residents,” he said. “If you try to use toilets located in other areas at night, you may find them locked.”

“Now some residents dump their faeces in the damaged toilets and behind the toilets,” said Mcotshe.

Residents dump human waste and old food in the storm water drains because the toilets are damaged, he said.

Near the toilets, Phumza Ntunjwa runs Step-by-Step Educare, which caters for 76 children. “Hot days the sun worsens the smell from the toilets,” she said. “We want the city officials to rebuild the toilets and maintain them. Failing that, they must remove the dirty toilets altogether.”

Zono said some communal taps are also broken and urgently need to be replaced or repaired. “Sometimes we run out of water because our water tap pipes leak,” she said.

Mayoral Committee Member for Area East Councillor Anda Ntsodo said, “Appointment of contractors to fix toilet structures is being finalised. Fixing of all faulty structures will be done in the coming months.”

Ntsodo said janitorial services were suspended in Enkanini because of “challenges with procurement of inoculations”.

“The City is currently drafting a Request for Quotations to carry out the services in the interim,” he said.

“The installation of toilets was completed but the toilets were subsequently vandalised. Ongoing vandalism is a problem in the area,” he said.

Ntsodo said the City needed to work with community leaders and identify places where more toilets could be put up. “As things stand, some of the dwellings need to be relocated in order to make the required space for installing new toilets,” he said.

News24.com | DA’s highest decision making body ditches BEE, saying the policy is not sustainable

You Need Posted on by

The DA’s federal council has decided to ditch black economic empowerment, claiming the policy is simply “just not working.”

The party’s head of policy Gwen Ngwenya confirmed to News24 that the DA’s highest policy decision making body resolved the decision in July, instead opting to seek a broader economic empowerment framework.

The DA has previously thrown its weight behind the idea of BEE but claimed it only unlocked economic opportunities for politically connected blacks and that the way in which it was being implemented was not sustainable.

BEE has also been a source of fierce contestation within the party. It resulted in a spat between former party leader Helen Zille and former DA parliamentary caucus leader Lindiwe Mazibuko. Mazibuko was accused by Zille of failing to ensure the opposition properly interrogated and responded to new legislation on BEE and employment equity before backing it. It is also widely believed this was one of the reasons why Mazibuko quit politics.

“There is a very real commitment to black empowerment, but we recognise that triple BEE has not worked,” said Ngwenya.

She said the party was still working its way towards its new “broad economic empowerment framework,” but was confident about what elements needed to be included.

“Getting people into jobs, making sure they have the skills to earn a higher income when they are in the jobs – and therefore be able to put more of their income towards investment – that is the way to accumulate the kind of wealth that turns into intergenerational prosperity and BEE has not done that and will not do that,” explained Ngwenya.

Political parties are attempting to sharpen their positions on issues ahead of next year’s national elections, with the ANC coming out this week saying it will push for a constitutional amendment on land. Ngwenya confirmed the economic decision by the DA is similar, as the country’s main opposition decides what it can offer South Africans.

“This is the period when political parties should be looking to review their offers to South Africans,” said Ngwenya.
