Tsukiji Market: What you need to know about Maguro (Tuna)

Bluefin Tuna When you order Akami-dane (red flesh fish) at a Sushi bar, you will invariably be given Tuna.  Unlike Shiromi-dane (white flesh fish) which include fish like Tai (Sea Bream), Hirame (Olive Flounder) and Kanpachi (Amberjack), there is essentially only one fish that qualifies as Akami-dane and that is Tuna.  But the piece of "Tuna" can come from a few sub-species which can range from

VIDEO OF THE WEEK

Following last week's theme of Friends With Benefits, here is a video to explain why I prefer the term sex buddies. It's not misleading at all.

Have a great week ahead and remember to put in an honest shift so that you can play hard without guilt once the weekend comes.

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS (PART 4)

Alas, this is the last part of the friends with benefits' series. As promised, here is a collection of people who shared their experiences with me. I hope you find them inciteful.

Don (Albany): 'My FB and I have been at it since we left college. We are now in our 5th year at it. I think we have been successful because we know our boundaries. We are both very career minded and have no time for any serious relationship. So this works best for us.'

Sinta: 'Don't get your regular friends involved. A bad idea.'

Kelly (Singapore): 'Never try to have a sex friend who works in the same office as you. You can be as discrete as you want but things will be found out. Trust me. We were not forced to quit but it became really awkward when someone saw us behaving intimately.'

Ralph_sody (US): 'I liken this to swinging. So I play by the same rules. The most uncomplicated types are with married couples. Not dating couples, i repeat, married couples. No complications and you are reminded where you stand.'

Ching Lin (Singapore): 'If your FB starts to get romantic and mushy, it's time to call it quits. Always keep it simple and leave no footprints, which means no gifts, nothing.'

EspanaMary (Madrid): 'Always try to change the location of your meetings. Keep it exciting and let loose your fantasys.'

Downtowngal: 'I've had many FBs over the years. I try to keep changing them or they get clingy. The best are couples. If they are steady or married, even better. They express their love to each other and use me as a prop, which I do not mind. No emotional problems with them. But hard to find willing couples though. You have to search hard.'

Gong: 'Don't bother too much about looks andbeauty. That way, you can easily keep your attraction focused on what's below the waist.'

Ann (Malaysia): 'Keeping it cold emotionally between FBs ensures that the relationship stays hot  (the sex) for a long time.'

If you guys like to share with me your experiences, you can continue to send them in. I hope you enjoyed this series or at least learnt something from it. Thanks also for all of you who sent in your comments regarding this series.

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS (PART 3)

A NSA sex relationship can be a totally exhilarating experience but in order to reach that nexus of sexual gratification, you will need to understand and embrace the rules of engagement. Failure to do so may complicate things – something that goes against the basic principles that govern it.

Separate feelings
This is a tricky one. You need a strong mind. This is not an emotional relationship so be direct if you need to be in order to check if both parties feel the same way. If you notice emotions entering the fray, it’s time to re-look at the situation and engineer a change or break ties once and for all. You need a shared understanding after lines are drawn.

Be honest
Yes, honesty is the best platform to spring your NSA relationship from. One of the advantages of this is that you can be upfront with regards to your intentions. Clearly communicating your expectations and boundaries helps prevent misunderstandings and confusion.

Don’t try to change

It would be a big mistake to try and change yourself or your partner during the course of your relationship. It is also just as bad to mislead your partner when you sense that emotions may be emerging. This amounts to trickery and ultimately, someone is bound to be hurt. Neither should you take advantage of the situation.

Limit meet-ups
One of the biggest mistakes made is when partners fail to find a balance between emotional detachment and physical intimacy. One way to do this is to limit your time spent together. Going out on dates is not the way to go. When you spend more time together, this can propagate feelings for one another and mixed messages may be sent.

Safe sex 
Any type of sex you have should be safe. With no promise of exclusivity, you can never tell who else your partner might be having sex with. Just as your happiness in such a relationship is your responsibility, so too is your health.

PS: Look out for the last installment of this series when I will post interesting testimonials by some people who are in a NSA sex relationship.

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS (PART 2)

So before we slip into the rules for engagement when in a fuck-buddy sort of relationship, I just thought it pertinent to delve a little into the hazards that may emerge. Thereafter, I’ll touch on why such relationships appeal.

These are just some of the reported issues linked to a NSA sexual relationship; ruining future friendships and serious relationships, loneliness and depression, lower self-esteem, unwanted pregnancy, and invariably, the risks of contracting sexually transmitted diseases including AIDS. There are also a few cases reported where it also ruined one’s reputation.

With that out of the way, we can now focus on why people are enticed by NSAs. The first is that there are no commitments to adhere to, liberating to say the least. Let’s face it, for the majority of us, sex is one of the most enjoyable instinctive activities that our species enjoys, for as long as we are able to.

With this freedom comes the much-desired aspect of sexual experimentation – something I feel is an important part of maintaining a healthy sex life. We all get to explore and discover our sexual fantasies without the overhanging restrictions of guilt or shame.

Variety is another element that many of us lack and this offers just that. The ability to keep things fresh and new is underrated. To be able to keep the lines between work/family and sex play distinct makes things simple and less complicated.

Being in a serious relationship often blurs these lines and that can be quite stressful for some of us to deal with. If many of us had a choice, I’m quite sure we would want to keep them separate. So there we are, all set to move into the rules of engagement. Watch out for that in Part 3 of this series.
