Sex excuse 1: “I’m too tired”


 “Please babe, I’ve been at work all day and I’m tired” – oh, that old chestnut. A recent study has revealed that the “I’m too tired” scenario has become the top excuse to avoid having sex, with “I have a headache” stepping down from first place to third on the list. As many of us seem to be working longer hours than ever before, it’s no surprise that when we reach our bedroom it’s often less of the passionate kissing and sexy underwear, and more about the unattractive pyjamas and comfortable slippers. Sometimes we even use “I’m too tired” as an excuse before we’ve even thought about whether we’re tired or not. In actual fact, sex floods the brain with relaxing chemicals such as oxytocin, which calms down our brains and compliments our sleep. Suddenly sex is back on the menu...


Sex excuse 2: “I’m on my period”


 This is obviously an excuse that the gentleman among us can’t pull out of the bag when they’re just not feeling up to it. For the ladies, it’s a favourite excuse that works every time. When they drop it into a conversation casually, it’s an indirect way of saying “I’m not up for it. It’s just not happening so before we take this evening any further, please remember that the most you’re getting at the end of the night is a snuggle”. They know that the age-old  ‘time of the month’ excuse makes men squirm a little bit before simply being quiet and not asking any more questions on the subject, making this the perfect excuse if they’re looking for a quick get-out that requires little effort or explanation.  You can’t mess with nature, gentlemen.

Sex excuse 3: “I’m angry with you”


 Some sneaky devils try and avoid sex by dragging out an argument for longer than it needed to last or purposely causing one. We’ve all heard of the scenario; you’re having a fantastic evening watching films, gorging on a candle-lit romantic meal, and laughing at each other’s jokes when suddenly the bedroom part comes and boom – you just remembered your argument from the other night. Suddenly the candles are blown out, the oversized comfy pyjamas have made their grand entrance and you’re lying on the bed facing opposite directions. No sex tonight. *Celebratory gasp of relief*

Sex excuse 4: “I’ve got a headache”


 People all over the world seem to get a headache when it’s leading up to the big moment. We can’t think why. In fact, the fake headache excuse has been put to use so much that it made it to third place in a recent survey of top excuses for not having sex. If it’s a real headache and not a euphemism for “I don’t feel like doing it today, sweetheart” studies suggest that sex can actually help. Indeed, scientists believe that the chemicals released in your brain during sex make getting down and dirty 10 times more effective than Valium. It’s the pleasure aspect that provides pain relief though; if you just lie down passively and make your partner do all the work, it isn’t going to happen. If you’re the one playing the “I have a headache” card, make sure your partner doesn’t know this handy piece of knowledge. If they do, it might be worth picking another excuse off this list, just to be safe. If you’re partner’s using this excuse, they’ve just been busted.

Sex excuse 5: “I don’t have time”


 We can feel your pain with this one. As we’re working longer hours, there seems to be less time for sex and more time for hard work. If you’re genuinely struggling for time, throw spontaneity out of the window and schedule sex in. It sounds unsexy, but there’s nothing wrong with planning a session of romance if it’s completely stopped happening on its own. If you’re one of those people who has plenty of time to plant flowers, paint the bathroom and make artwork out of melted wax crayons but suddenly have no time when it comes to sexy time, it might be best to think of a better excuse. They say that women can multi-task but ironing and doing the deed at the same time could be painful...

Laser hair removal is a relieving process for those who seek a permanent solution to their unwanted hair growth problems.

 Although it is being adopted by a number of men across the country, some are actually ignorant of the facts behind this procedure. This article will help shed some light on the same.

Who Should Try This?

 These lasers are specially designed to remove hair from the skin by means of emitting a pulsed light. Most laser hair removal therapies are designed for fair skin with dark hair and seem to work more effectively on them, than the rest. Their effectiveness, however, varies on dark skinned people having lighter hair. For thoroughly tanned skins, the laser hair removal tends to cause skin discolouration. In this regard, using the right machine for the right kind of skin is very important.

How Does this Work?

 These lasers emit a sensitive beam, which destroys the hair cells from the root. The melanin pigment contained in dark hair is targeted causing the hair follicles to fall out over a period of 15 days from the procedure.

What Areas Can be Treated?

 Because of its ability to work on many hair cells at once, large areas of the body can be treated simultaneously. They are most effective on the back, arms, shoulder and chest, with some effectiveness on the chin and upper lip.


How Long Does the Procedure Take?

 Since it is exposing the skin to a mild radiation beam, these treatments need to be placed at a month’s interval to reduce risks of skin damage. But on the whole, it takes about 6 sessions of two hours each, spaced out over a couple of months, to see a marked reduction in hair growth.

How Effective is the Result?

 Re-growth of hair is, unfortunately, subjective. Its rate varies from person to person. Some people notice hair growth after a couple of months, some claim, never having to shave again. At an average, people having undergone the full 6 weeks procedure have claimed to witness a 70% reduction in hair growth.

Does it Hurt?

 It doesn’t, unless you’d count a rubber band hitting your skin, as pain. Again, the pain experienced by different machines is subjective. While some machines tend to cause a mere tingling sensation, the others are known to affect strongly. The on-procedure administration of a mild anaesthetic helps to numb the initial sensation.

How Much Does it Cost?

 Let’s face it. Employing a laser procedure to get rid of unwanted hair is not going to be cheap. The cost of the procedure depends on the body part in question. But the procedure can range from 10,000-100,000 INR per session, excluding taxes.

 When investing in an expensive procedure like this, you must do your research well. Find out the best place to get this done from and do not focus on cheap deals and discounts. If done right, this procedure will provide long and lasting results; if botched up, this can leave your skin permanently scarred. So choose wisely!
