So, it is Valentine’s Day tomorrow-which for many people means the usual day spent hiding alone in a darkened room, weeping. This time, never fear, I am here to give hand those who have decided to educate us about this V-day and many other stuff what it may mean to all of us.

With Valentine’s Day tomorrow I have decided to take a look on one thing Sex. I will leave Shayo and Mashaka to discuss about finance and economy. I real admire their efforts.
For as long a people have been at it, thy have been searching the world for new ways to win over their lovers, using all sorts of food and exotic drinks to set the right romantic mood.
Animal penises, testicles and anything that vaguely resemble them, such as sea cucumbers, “pweza”, etc have been used in love potions that supposedly improve a man’s prowess.
Travelling through countries such as South Korea, I discovered penis soup can actually in a variety of flavours, whether it be snake, turtle, deer or sheep. Tiger penis soup-more widely available in China than I felt comfortable with can cost up to around $1,000 for a small bowl, meaning you would have to be both a wealthy and an immoral traveller to try it.
Eating an animal’s sautéed privates to kick-start the sex drive is called organotherapy and has a long history dating back to Ancient Rome when emperors and courtiers gobbled up bulls’ testable chased down with wine.
Not comfortable with taking the bull by the ball? How about snake wine soup which I tried in Vietnam? The wine is made by taking a simple rice wine and infusing it with a full length cobra stuffed inside the bottle.
Local claim is better than Viagra or taking water melon and will make you able to puff your hood for hours.
Part of problem with many of the sexual stimulants produced from animal parts is that, like the aforementioned tiger penis soup, the parts come from endangered animals-which are possibly the reason they are so highly valued.
In Yemen, for instance, I came across rhino horn believed to have originated in East Africa-could be coming from a rhino killed in Ngorongoro-Tanzania! been ground up at a high society party where the purveyor called it ‘horny love dust’
Shark fin soup can be found on many menus in the far east and Greenpeace estimates that 100 million sharks are killed each year, with about a quarter of the 350 shacks species now endangered.
Without doubt, the most disgusting thing I have come across was in the Philippines where balut-the half-formed embryo of a duck consumed from the egg, bones, feathers and all-is on offer as a bar snack. They told me it makes a man vigorous and a woman smell more delectable-I didn’t have the guts. Or the beak and feet, for the matter.
It is not just animal parts that get people in the mood, of course. In Greece, figs have long had a reputation as an aphrodiastic, based in their resemblance to women’s genital when opened; in Mexico, chillies are supposed to fire up a first date; the power of oysters ‘in swahili kweme or makweme’ is legendary around the world thanks to their zinc content and that old favourarite of women, chocolate, tops any list of food to get you going.
Perhaps the old saying is wrong after all and it is not just the stomach that is the way to a man’s heart. To satisfy your partner is all about psychological feeling, love and care. God’s skill’s man ship on creating human being is excellent form of engineering that will never have a competitor. Why use extra spice?

ReplyDeleteThe History of Valentine's Day
Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day -- and its patron saint -- is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.
One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.
According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl -- who may have been his jailor's daughter -- who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.
While some believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial -- which probably occurred around 270 A.D -- others claim that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to 'christianize' celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia festival. In ancient Rome, February was the official beginning of spring and was considered a time for purification. Houses were ritually cleansed by sweeping them out and then sprinkling salt and a type of wheat called spelt throughout their interiors. Lupercalia, which began at the ides of February, February 15, was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.
To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at the sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would then sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification.
The boys then sliced the goat's hide into strips, dipped them in the sacrificial blood and took to the streets, gently slapping both women and fields of crops with the goathide strips. Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed being touched with the hides because it was believed the strips would make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city's bachelors would then each choose a name out of the urn and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage. Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day around 498 A.D. The Roman 'lottery' system for romantic pairing was deemed un-Christian and outlawed. Later, during the Middle Ages, it was commonly believed in France and England that February 14 was the beginning of birds' mating season, which added to the idea that the middle of February -- Valentine's Day -- should be a day for romance. The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem written by Charles, Duke of Orleans to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. The greeting, which was written in 1415, is part of the manuscript collection of the British Library in London, England. Several years later, it is believed that King Henry V hired a writer named John Lydgate to compose a valentine note to Catherine of Valois.
In Great Britain, Valentine's Day began to be popularly celebrated around the seventeenth century. By the middle of the eighteenth century, it was common for friends and lovers in all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes. By the end of the century, printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one's feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine's Day greetings. Americans probably began exchanging hand-made valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began to sell the first mass-produced valentines in America.
According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making Valentine's Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for Christmas.)
Approximately 85 percent of all valentines are purchased by women. In addition to the United States, Valentine's Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia.
Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages (written Valentine's didn't begin to appear until after 1400), and the oldest known Valentine card is on display at the British Museum. The first commercial Valentine's Day greeting cards produced in the U.S. were created in the 1840s by Esther A. Howland. Howland, known as the Mother of the Valentine, made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as "scrap".

ni hayo tu wadau
pamoja sana!
Nina valentine na "vifaa" vyangu. peke yangu.
ReplyDeletehi wadau, mimi sina tatizo na haya mambo. Ikiwa mtu unajitahidi kumpa mpenzi wako nikiwa namaana mpenzi mmoja haki yake basi hakuna kitu kibaya. Tatizo ni pale tu wanaume tunashindwa kuwa na mpenzi mmoja. Kama mtu unampenzi mmoja na unajitahidi kumridhisha hata kama ni kujywa au kula pweza sioni tatizo. Tatizo hasa ni kwa wale wasioridhika wanataka kuwa na wapenzi kila sehemu.
ReplyDeleteJamani tujieshimu tujitahidi kuwa na mpenzi mmoja. Watanga walisema "Zafanana"
nafikiri hii itakukumbusheni lile basi lililokuwa linatoka Dar kwenda Tanga. Mnajua kwa nini liliitwa Zafanana? Kuweni na MPENZI MMOJA na ikiwezekana Kuwe na utaratibu wa kujipima virusi kila baada ya miezi sita
kwa mtaji huo Tanzania itawezekana bila ya UKIMWI.
