Abstinence is now becoming one of the “it” things in relationships now; its not necessary to look far with the likes of celebrities such as Ciara and Russell Wilson, and Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin being staunch suppporters of the ‘no sex before marriage’ crew.
On the other side are those who would negate this as a complete oxymoron- that sex is vital in a relationship, that it contributes significantly to the whole ‘getting to know your partner’ aspect of a relationship.
I’m one of those people who is neither here or there; kudos to those who can abstain until marriage, but also to those who decide to have sex before marriage, there shouldn’t be any shame- it comes down to personal preference.
Due to my position on this topic, imagine my shock when in a conversation with a friend, he was adamant that there was no point being in a relationship if sex wasn’t involved.
I know there are people out there who feel that the bedrock of a relationship is all about the physicality and intimacy, however I beg to differ. What about the dates? Exploring new things together, finding out interesting things about the other, the pending excitement of knowing you’ve fallen in love with a person’s persona and yet to come is the penultimate bonus of getting to explore them sexually- what about all of that?

REGINA Writes: Domestic Violence | Sometimes Women Deserve It

If you have been keeping up with the news, many of you would have noticed that there seems to have recently been a surge in the number of celebrity domestic violence cases; not just in Ghana but all over the world.
From Mr & Mrs John Paintsil to Johnny Depp and Amber Heard; domestic violence is nothing new in the celeb world. But I have a major problem with something, not just with the issue of domestic violence in the world but the issue of domestic violence full stop. Alas, here is where my issue lies- that man always seems to get the blame and the woman is automatically deemed ‘the victim.’
As a hot-tempered and argumentative woman myself, I KNOW that sometimes women can provoke men. We push their buttons, utter the most scathing words (whether deservedly or undeservedly), we just push and push and push whilst well aware that what we’re doing is eliciting a reaction from them.
So then why cry when you get that reaction you KNEW you were going to get by the things that were coming out of your mouth, by the getting all up in the man’s face, by the jabbing your finger in his chest and waving yours arms around?
I know that there are genuine victims of domestic violence (both male and female) out there in the world, and I know that not all victims of domestic violence arouse the rage of their abusers or deserve it in any way at all.
However, I also know that there are many ‘so-called victims’ of domestic violence who intentionally set out to chafe the anger of their partners, safe within the comfort of the age old adage of “I’m a woman so he can’t touch me”.
We’re all human, we’re all prone to outbursts of rage- NOBODY has the right to intentionally provoke anybody to commit an act of violence.
The Rise of the ‘Side-Chicks’: Reasons Why Some Women Love to Be Side-Chicks
A ‘side-chick’- as defined on Urban Dictionary- is: “the other woman; also known as the mistress; a female that is neither a male’s wife or girlfriend, who has relations with the male whilst he is in another relationship.” I’ve heard a lot of worse names for side-chicks- booty call, speed-dial hoe, whorellas, I mean the … Read more
How Far is ‘Too Far’? | My Friends Say One Night Stands Shouldn't Count As Too Far
A couple of nights ago I was enjoying a relaxing evening with a few of my friends, and after several intense albeit jovial discussions on a whole range of issues, the topic reared its head towards the subject of relationships. One of my male friends made an off-the-cuff remark along the lines of “I wouldn’t … Read more
THE BIG QUESTION: Is it Possible For A Male and Female to Genuinely Be ‘JUST FRIENDS’?
How many of us out there have a very close friend who happens to be of the opposite sex?
How many of us out there know that said friendships are genuinely platonic? How many of us are then faced with the constant barrage of teasing, sexual innuendoes and rife speculation when it comes to these GENUINE FRIENDSHIPS with members of the opposite sex?
I can definitely answer yes to all of the above. I’m one of those females who prefers the company of males (and no not because I fancy them, or I’m a slut, or any of the other ridiculous allegations I have had to face before)- I prefer to socialise with males because I find them more ‘drama-free’.
Now I’m not inferring that there aren’t men out there whose drama queen antics could give Kurt from ‘Glee’ a run for his money- I’m just saying I believe (from my own personal experiences), that there is a higher percentage of drama, gossip and just hassle that comes from socialising with females, as opposed to that of males. Hence why most of my friends are males.

The Obama Girls’ Contradiction to the Every Day Girl | No Weaves, No Expensive Bags & Certainly No Stress

The above photo shows the most powerful president in the world, the president of the United States-Barack Obama and his teenage daughters—and apart from the president who is in a simple but decent suit, the girls will pass for poor secondary school students in Ghana.
These are the daughters of the most powerful man in the world and yet, they kept it simple—no long expensive Brazilian hair or weaves, no expensive LV bags, no high heels or expensive Louboutins and most definitely, no stress.
Young women of today from our part of the world are complete opposite of these girls who have the means and yet seem to be living simple lives—paying little or no attention to the stressful high fashion lifestyle.
It’s pretty shocking that even the most famous family in the world with the means keep things well within the boundaries of simplicity and yet the struggling daughter of that broke man continues to push for things she cannot afford.
PHOTOS OF THE DAY: Jackie Appiah, Captain Planet, Becca & Martha Ankomah

Jackie Appiah is looking great with her signature long weave style (photo below)—and so is Becca, with her sort of afro style.
Each Sunday is a fashion affair for Ghanaian actress-Martha Ankomah and the past weekend was no different—she stepped out elegantly to worship her Lord.
Captain Planet also posed for the camera—the man who loves the camera!

Apparently, Afia Schwarzenegger suspected a certain man to have stolen her phone and she jumped on this poor man—battering him here and there.
In fact, it got really serious to the extent that the police came in to arrest Afia Schwarzenegger—handcuffing her in the open to the watch of every body.

PHOTOS: Meet the Young Ghanaian Who Went On A Ride With Drake in Accra & The Other Who Flew in Obama’s Presidential Jet to Tamale

A lot of young people have dreams–but now days, instead of working hard towards these dreams, they are able to achieve this easily by the use of computer software such as photoshop.
And the thing is, these people do not even take their time to learn photoshop well, lazy as they are, they just do their worst and call it the best—which they proudly share on social media.
We’ve come across a lot of these jokers but these 3 below are too serious to ignore. And the question is; they really have such gullible friends they sincerely believe would buy into this poorly executed BS?

OMG…What A Butt | Meet Tanzania Model-Agnes Masogange Who Says That CAKE is 100% REAL

Nicki Minaj, Jennifer Lopez and several global stars paid a lot of cash to achieve the size and shape of their current butts—including, the almighty Kim Kardashian.
But back in Africa, a Tanzania Model and Video Vixen-Agnes-Masogange who has arguably the size of Nicki Minaj’s butt, far bigger than Kim K’s own says, her cake is 100% real and she did not need any doctor—her Mama gave it all to her.

PLUZZ FM in Accra For Sale? | Its Test ‘Entertainment Morning Show’ to Be Axed

You wouldn’t dare attempt to change the status-quo in a country like Ghana, where majority of the people are set in their ways—and when the road ahead seems to have no alternatives.
But somehow, someone at an Accra based PLUZZ 89.9 FM decided to challenge the Ghanaian radio tradition of the morning airwaves being saturated with Political Talk Shows—by pushing for an Entertainment Morning Show-AM PLUZZ.
Months after setting off, it seems the test flight will end soon with the owners of the radio station currently looking for buyers to purchase the entire radio station or interested person to buy the morning slot, currently being used for Entertainment, GhanaCelebrities.Com has learnt.
Hosted by Sammy Flex (real name Samuel Atuobi Baah), the Managing Editor of Flex newspaper, AM PLUZZ couldn’t challenge the long standing morning political talk show culture—and coupled with the fact that the whole radio station is limping, it’s plausible to say even if new owners step in, PLUZZ FM wouldn’t dare continue with the Entertainment morning show.
Why Are So Many Marriages Breaking Down Because Of MONEY?
When you’re single and a friend’s marriage end because of money, to you the single person, how can ‘mere’ money cause problems? Young marriages are breaking down and unfortunately, it’s not because of abuse or philandering but because one person tried to financially ‘outsmart’ the other or one person is accumulating debts by ‘gathering dust’.
We can all spend our monies anyway/anyhow we deem fit but when we decide to marry, we should be fiscally responsible first for our own good and the home we want to build together as family. When splashing monies during ‘courting’ (what we call courting these days is actually having sex and not studying the person), generations unborn should somehow be put into consideration.
Money shouldn’t rule us; we should be ruling the cash!
Some of us women especially don’t expect some lifestyles to change just because we are married. If during the courtship years, our main kitchen (main as the operative word) was the restaurants and takeaways (where the man is forking out money for the meals), we can’t ‘afford’ to relocate our kitchen to our matrimonial homes otherwise it will be ‘starvation galore’ – better to start things the way you’d like it to be.
PHOTOS OF THE DAY: Jackie Appiah, Juliet Ibrahim, Delay, Mona Aka Hajia4Reall, Ama K. Abebrese, Becca & Others

It’s Delay’s birthday and so, let’s wish her a late Happy Birthday by starting with her photo. How old do you think sister Deloris Frimpong Manso is pushing?
We will confidently settle her for 36 but don’t be shock if you hear that she is 31—the latter is her on-record age.
Ama K. Abebrese posted with Kofi Philippo, that young white dude from Italy who speaks Twi like my grandmother—for a photo.

Manny Pacquiao Grew Up As A Street Child In The Philippines; And You’ll Never Guess The Reason Why

As the big fight draws closer (72 hours and counting), and I make every effort to keep you informed of goings on; there’s this inspirational story about the Pacman that his trainer narrated that shows how his resilience has gotten him so far in life.
Pacquiao grew up as a street urchin in Manila, the Filipino capital. He has risen from that and extreme poverty to become one of the greatest boxers who ever lived, as well as a consummate politician back home.
His trainer Freddy Roach told Yahoo the heartbreaking story of his rise- highlighted by the facts he turned professional at 14, he used to sell doughnuts to survive, and that he ran away from home when his father ate his dog.

90% of Alcoholic Drinks Advertised in Ghana Suggest That They Give S*xual Stamina to Men – But The Liquor Licensing Act 1970 (Act 331) Says ‘Advertisements Should Neither Claim Nor Suggest That Any Alcoholic Drink Can Contribute Towards S*xual Success Or Can Enhance S*xual Attractiveness’

A month ago, authorities at Ghana Standard Board were in the news – asking celebrities not to allow themselves to be used for advertising alcoholic drinks or beverages because those celebs have huge followers who could be deluded into alcoholism.
So I took my time to research on the Act they claim debars celebrities from being used to advertise alcoholic drinks – this is my shock: “No advertisement should suggest that drinking is an essential attribute of masculinity or advertisements should neither claim nor suggest that any alcoholic drink can contribute towards sexual success or can enhance sexual attractiveness.”
Read the provisions of the Liquor Licensing Act 1970 (Act 331) of Ghana:
(a) Advertising of alcoholic drinks should not be directed at persons under 18 years in contravention of the Liquor Licensing Act 1970 (Act 331). Presentation of advertisements on alcoholic drinks likely to be of particular appeal to children should be avoided. (b) Children should not be seen or heard in an advertisement for alcoholic drinks.
(c) In advertisements for drinks containing alcohol anyone associated with drinking should be or appear to be at least 18 years old.
The PARTICULAR ACT the Ghana Standard Board applied in telling the celebrities, especially Kwame Dzokoto, to stop advertising alcohol is below; (d) Advertisements for alcoholic drinks should not feature any personality whose example persons under 18 years are likely to emulate or who has a particular appeal to persons under that age.
