The Chastity Lifestyle is Not a Celibate Lifestyle

A common misconception is that a chastity lifestyle, whether it’s female or male chastity, is the same as a celibate lifestyle.And nothing could be further from the truth, as I’ll share with you in a moment. It is more common for the man to be the one kept in chastity, so we’ll look at it from that perspective from now on. Just be aware it all applies both ways.Celibacy is essentially foregoing the pleasure of any sexual contact whatsoever. It’s a lifestyle (allegedly) practiced by priests and monks of various religions, and has even been promoted as a birth-control strategy for young men and women, primarily by certain religious groups (as an aside, while celibacy is the perfect contraceptive, it doesn’t work simply because young people don’t actually stick to it).On the other hand, although the strict dictionary definition of “chastity” is almost identical to that of “celibacy”, when we talk of it in terms of it in the context of the chastity lifestyle we typically really mean male orgasm denial.Because, in fact, you’ll find when you embrace this lifestyle with your partner you actually end up having more sexual contact rather than less. What tends to happen is the chaste male serves his partner’s pleasure in all ways except one: he’s typically prevented either by her withheld permission or by the physical intervention of a chastity belt of other device from enjoying any kind of sexual activity involving his penis.Which is to say he pleases her with his tongue, fingers and anything else he can think of without enjoying any immediate pleasure himself (and if he is allowed penetrative sex with her, he is forbidden to orgasm).I don’t want to get into why men would want this to be put upon them in this article, so just take it on faith for now that they really do.The point is, and this might be surprising (it was to me when I discovered this), many men and women wrongly assume a chastity lifestyle means their sex-life is going to be stopped dead in its tracks.And in fact quite the reverse is true.Why?Well, first…Your Man is Going to be Permanently Horny. You know how they turn over and start snoring within a few seconds of orgasming?That’s not going to happen any more until you allow it. What’s more, once you’ve settled into the chastity lifestyle not only will he be more diligent and dutiful in bed, he’ll be a lot more attentive and accommodating while out of it, too.I’m not advocating you trade sex-for-favours because I think that’s the start of a downward spiral of self- and mutual-respect in any relationship, but you will notice he becomes just like he was when you were first together: he’s besotted with you and can’t think of anyone (or anything) else.Secondly…YOU are Going to Enjoy Lovemaking a Lot More!And not just because his libido and ardour will be in the stratosphere.No, you’re going to find you get a lot of pleasure from teasing him and taking him to the edge, something you probably haven’t done for years if you’re honest about it.Now, consider if this was a celibate lifestyle rather than a chastity lifestyle. Then there would be no sex and no increase in his libido or attention to you. In fact, he’d be having more orgasms while celibate than he would when he’s chaste, because if he’s merely celibate, he’ll either be masturbating or, ultimately, having an affair (I’ll annoy people now by saying this isn’t unreasonable for any man or woman whose relationship has become a celibate one).So…To Sum UpWhat this all means (and I think you’ll find this surprising and thought provoking): a celibate lifestyle (by choice, rather than perhaps by illness, injury, age, or disease) characterises a relationship that’s cold, distant, unloving and almost certainly unsatisfying and unfulfilling for both of you; a chastity lifestyle, on the other hand, characterises the complete opposite.Relationships embracing chastity tend to be hot, passionate, close, loving, exciting and wonderfully fulfilling for both of you.

Purchase Order Finance – How Your Customer Orders Can Be Used to Pay Your Supplier

Your business has just broken through by getting a big order for your new, improved anti-gravity unit. This is going to take you to a whole new level. Yay!You don’t have the money to finance your life-changing new order. Boo!Purchase order (PO) finance is a game-changer when you have an order and a supplier, but when you still need the money to pay for the order. This is a common business problem for entrepreneurs. When success knocks, a business owner with great customer relationships needs to make certain his finance capabilities match his growing order flow.Here’s how PO finance works: you get an order from a creditworthy customer. The funding company checks the customer’s credit and satisfies themselves that the customer is stable. Then they will arrange payment to the supplier with your customer order as security. Orders to suppliers outside the country will generally be paid for with a letter of credit; inside the country, there may be other arrangements made to secure payment for the goods.Many business owners worry about their credit when they seek finance. The key in PO finance is the strength of your end buyer; THAT is the primary determinant in getting the deal done. Your own business financial picture is taken into account, of course, but your experience and the customer’s credit profile are of much higher relative importance.If you have good profit margins, you may need very little of your own cash to do the deal. It is possible that almost all of the supplier’s cost will be covered by the finance group. Normally, some of your cash will be required, as finance people are much more comfortable when you have capital at risk also.When goods have been delivered to the customer, you can invoice your customer for the goods. This allows you to convert purchase order finance into invoice finance. PO finance is perceived as a riskier form of financing because more things can go wrong. As a result, you pay more until the PO converts to invoice financing. As a result, it is always in your interest as the business operator to complete the PO portion of the finance quickly.A key point in the use of PO finance and other finance tools is to assess the cost of funds versus the profit margin to be obtained. Entrepreneurs sometimes think that certain types of funding are too expensive. This is only true if margins are narrow. Finance costs must always be assessed relative to the profit to be obtained. There are a number of reasons why more expensive funding is useful: to maintain customer relations by satisfying certain orders; and of course, to capture a profit that would be lost without the finance.The private finance companies who provide PO financing differ from banks in one other important way. Whereas a bank will generally approve a credit line and leave that amount in place for quite some time, private PO funders have a different view. They seek execution partners who want to grow their businesses. Once you, the business owner, have shown your ability to manage increased order flow effectively, you become the perfect candidate for an expanding credit line in the funder’s eyes. Relationships count in the finance world, especially to companies who are looking for the right entrepreneur to back.

Just Entertainment

The word “entertainment” covers a lot of territory and we spend a vast amount of time entertaining and being entertained. What is entertainment for one is not necessarily entertainment for another. We will keep this in mind as we explore the various forms of entertainment that surround us every minute of every day.While driving we see someone pulled over by the local law enforcement receiving a ticket. Some of us will be entertained by that and relieved it isn’t us who gained the attention of the traffic patrol. Now the person receiving the ticket is not being entertained at all.Watching a dog chase a cat over the fence, through the yard and up a tree is entertainment. Especially if it’s not your cat. And even if it were, at least the dog was being entertained.One more example of this form of entertainment is in order. Okay. Maybe not. But I just can’t help myself. There is the story of the man who ran a red light and struck a car carrying some elderly ladies. He was without a doubt in the wrong, but upon seeing who was in the car he thought he would bully them. He approached the vehicle and started yelling and blaming the driver for the accident. Well the ladies would have none of it and began to pummel the character with handbags and umbrellas. Now was this entertainment to those involved? I doubt it. But it sure was to those who witnessed the event.Now let’s explore some other, more conventional forms of entertainment. The types we find less nerve racking and more enjoyable. Reading, for example, is not only relaxing but is also intellectually stimulating. Books and magazines are sometimes just what the doctor ordered to ease the tensions of a stressful day. Of course, there are many types of books. There are text books, audio books, online books, children’s books, and novels of all kinds. Reading is a great form of entertainment.Going to the movies is fine entertainment. Or, renting a video or DVD, and relaxing in your easy chair with some nuked popcorn and a cold drink is even better yet. You can take an intermission whenever you want and it’s much less expensive. Sometimes you feel like going out, sometimes you don’t.Music. We can’t forget music. Music in one fashion or another, has been and always will be with us. I have no idea what the first music ever played was. But I do know that today’s music is available in many genres. We have classical, rock, pop, punk, rap, blues, soul, jazz, christian, and country music just to name a few. Yesterdays 45s and LPs are all but gone. They have been replaced with music videos, music downloads, and CDs.There is simply no way I can list all the forms of entertainment we have available to us. But I can tell you that if you are looking to be entertained by books, magazines, videos, DVDs, music videos, music downloads, CDs and much, much more, then the place to visit is RitzyShopper.com. There you will find a wide assortment of quality entertainment selections.
