15 Ways to Be Intimate Without Having Sex
Up until my first and my
current relationship, most
o f m y r o m a n t i c
relationships were pretty
much a comprised of a few
the more frequent flirty
banter via text.
The closest thing we had to being
“ intimate in those relationships was
sex. But, now that I'm in an actual
relationship, I've learned that there
are plenty of ways to be intimate
without having sex. Don't get me
wrong. Sex is great. And it can still be
intimate! But there are plenty of other
things you can also do to feel close to
another person. In a recent Reddit
AskWomen thread,
ladies share all of
the many ways you
can go about doing
so.

man that can witness his girl sitting on
the toilet and head in a trash can and
still want to cuddle you and love on
you is a keeper.
He bathed her after her
mastectomy.
When I had my mastectomy my ex
had to bathe me since I couldn't get
my surgical wounds wet and I couldn't
move my arms above my chest.
Months later he said it was his
favourite part of the ordeal because it
was the only time I smiled. I had
assumed that part was a burden.

asleep in each other's arms.
Literally sleeping together. That's not
something I've done with another

them for him.
He wraps his arms around her

“Aw does someone need maximum

She rubs lotion on his backside
every day.
My boyfriend swims nearly every day
and the chlorine dries the crap out of
his skin, so I spend a few minutes
everyday lotioning his back and ass
so they don't get ashy. This is mostly
non-sexual but sometimes I pretend
I'm a dude and the lotion is my “nut”,
with crazy humping and dirty talk. He
doesn't like it when the turntables.
They make eye contact with each
other before falling asleep.
There's always a few moments before
we fall asleep where we'll just lay
together, making eye contact. That
may sound strange but it always feels
super intimate and in a way that
nothing needs to be said out loud.
You're just sharing this moment and
know that there's nowhere else you'd
rather be.

He tucks her into bed.
He goes to bed much later than I do,
but he puts me to bed every night. I lay
my head on his chest and play with his

will usually tell him, "I need some
skin," and I will untuck his shirt, and
put my hand up inside under his shirt

be intimate that don't involve doing it.

But despite this common view,
a spokesman for Coca Cola
warned that glass may not be
less damaging to the
environment than plastic, as it is
much heavier, and therefore
has a much larger carbon

"UK Plastics Pact".
Meanwhile major supermarkets
have launched bottle deposit
schemes where consumers
can redeem money or in-store
vouchers in return for their
empty plastic bottles.
Fears have been mounting over
plastic bottles ending up in
oceans and rivers as
consumers were frequently
putting them in the bin instead
of recycling them.
Coca Cola said sales of glass

found in restaurants and bars,
had risen dramatically after it

again, cricket for the national
team was about winning in years
gone by.
“I remember James Sutherland
and Pat Howard coming into the
rooms there and saying 'we don't
pay you to play, we pay you to

win',” recalled Smith in
December, about Australia's
crushing loss against South
Africa almost three years earlier
in Hobart.
“For me that was a little bit
disappointing …”
But the line between needing to
win and cheating to achieve that
goal was broken
when a hastily plot
was carried out at
Newlands by
bringing sandpaper
onto the field.
Just as unsavoury,
an even more
impulsive lie was
created in the
aftermath which
tarnished the entire
reputation of the
side with the same
brush and led to the resignations
of the chief powers above and
unprecedented suspensions of
Smith, Warner and Cameron
Bancroft.
In the weeks and months to
come, Australia's new order —
led by Tim Paine as captain and
Justin Langer as coach —
promised to win back the trust of
the public.
Ten months on, Paine and
Langer have gone a long way in
healing the wounds established
and restoring credibility.

The results may have been less
than hoped for — Australia lost
their maiden home series to India
at home — but the humility
shown in defeat was the tonic
required for a badly wounded
national side.
Even in the midst of defeat, with
Australia's supremacy on the
field sapped, Paine found
humour in the most downcast of
times.
In Sydney, with the series gone,
the Australian captain broke from
the norm, picking up a journalist's
phone in the middle of a press
conference to tell an editor in Asia
that “Martin” was busy, but
he would pass on the
message to check his
emails.
It was just a line, but it was
handled with aplomb.
Other captains or coaches
in similar circumstances
could easily have been left
seething by a phone
interruption. Not Paine.
At almost every opportunity,
Australia's cricketers — led
by Paine and Langer —
were at a pains to express
their congratulatory to their
opponents for their skilled
played on the field, and their
thanks for the public to
turning out.
Ferocious sledging, for the
best part, made way for amusing
banter, with Paine and Rishabh
Pant engaging in an interesting
battle of mind games, which led
to the latter and the former's wife
adding perfectly to the on field
heat of the battle through a
simple Instagram post which
showed the lighter side of the
cricketers.
Interesting, too, that at the end of
the summer, after Australia had
crushed Sri Lanka, Paine
finished his on-field ceremonial
interview in Canberra with one
final statement once it appeared

“Can I just, whilst I'm here, I just
want to say thanks to Chandi
Dinesh (Sri Lankan captain
Dinesh Chandimal) for coming
out. We realise how hard it is to
come overseas and play Test
cricket, so thanks for coming and
the competition.
“I want to thank our support staff.
As you said, it's been a long
summer, they've worked their
absolute backsides off trying to
help us get better so thank you
very much.
“I also want to thank Cricket
Australia's sponsors. The last 12
months has been a really difficult
time, so thanks for sticking with
us.
“And also, to our fans, we started
out this summer trying to win
back your respect and trying to
make you guys proud of us, so
thanks for sticking with us and, I
suppose, we're looking forward
to the next 12 months of cricket.”
With those final words, a warm
applause echoed across
Manuka Oval.
DO SMITH AND WARNER
COME STRAIGHT BACK IN TO
THE TEST SIDE?
It would appear, yes.
Paine has alluded to the banned
15
Sports Corner
duo returning immediately once
their bans end on March 28.
Undoubtedly the Australian
cricket team is stronger for
having them in.
You can't take away the 12,000
plus Test runs the duo have
scored between them.
The duo would likely slot into any
Test team around the world.
Still, despite being out for a year,
they sit No.4 and No.6 on the ICC
Test batting rankings in the world.
But there are a number of
questions to still be answered.
Can they come back and pick up
where they left off? Will they be
able to handle the pressure of a
boisterous England crowd
and the Barmy Army? If
they can, what about the
rest of the team? Will they
all be able to handle the
likely intense media pack
that follows them right
throughout the campaign?
And what of the culture of
the side, how will their
returns be received?
The returns of Smith and
Warner aren't as simple as
just seamlessly taking
their spots in the batting
line up.
Their returns bring with
them a year's worth of
baggage too.
One or two failures by
them and the team, still
trying to forge a new culture,
could descend into darkness.
And Australia thought this
summer, with India firmly on top,
was long.
Try being away from home, in a
hostile environment for four
months, with the pressure of
defending a World Cup and
Ashes Urn at stake, where trust
in each other and themselves is
paramount.
It promises to be another
pressure filled and gripping 2019
for Australian cricket.

England could be in for a 'nasty' Ashes shock
Former captain Michael
Va u g h a n b e l i e v e s
England aren't
prepared to 'bat ugly' in
Test cricket
Cricket great Michael Vaughan
believes England needs to
wake-up and change their
batting approach otherwise
face the likelihood of losing the
Ashes to Australia.
England was embarrassingly
bowled out for 132 in their
second innings against
the West Indies in
Antigua, losing the
Test series 2-0 with
one game to play.
In a column for The
Telegraph, Vaughan
explained England
needed to change their
approach to batting.
“My message is keep
playing that way if you
want but it is not going
to be successful
consistently over time.
I will just give them a
warning too. England
are unbeaten in nine
Test series at home but
if they are not careful
they will get a nasty
shock this summer
against Australia,” Vaughan
wrote.
“It is the mentality and culture of
how they bat in Test cricket that
has to change. There is no way
in Test cricket that you can go
out and score off every over. It is
impossible,”
“The batsmen who win Test
series play like Cheteshwar
Pujara did against Australia
r e c e n t l y, o r h o w K r a i g g
Brathwaite and Darren Bravo
have batted against England, or
the way Steve Smith ground us
down in the Ashes last winter.
8 Feb. - 14 Feb. 2019
“For example, Jonny Bairstow
was praised after day one in
Antigua for playing a cameo.
That is a sign we are struggling.
You do not praise cameos of 50
on day one of a Test match. I
want to praise a Darren Bravo-
style innings, someone that
fights for their life and
challenges the bowlers to bowl
a Jaffa to get them out.
“He was prepared to bat 'ugly'. I
don't think we are prepared to
do that. England's batsmen
want to look pretty, hit the
middle of the bat all the time and
go back in the dressing room
saying, 'Wasn't that a great
shot!'
“Nobody is prepared to do the
hard work and score 10 runs an
hour and adapt to a pitch that
does not let you hit through the
line of the ball, play on the up
and hit boundaries. To win big
series against proper bowling
you need players who can hang
in.
The former England skipper
warned his nation that “high risk
16
Sports Corner
cricket” was fraught with danger
as it would lead to inconsistent
performances and suggested
Australia was closer to winning
in England, than England was
to winning in Australia.
“We all have England as
favourites to win the World Cup
as well. I know it is a different
format, but in the West Indies
they have not coped well under
pressure. A lot of the same
players will be in the World Cup
squad so what gives us
confidence they will
suddenly cope with the
whole nation expecting
them to win a home
World Cup?” He said.
With coach Trevor
Bayliss revealing the
team would hold a
“crisis meeting” in the
wake of their poor
performance in the
Caribbean, Vaughan
suggested fast
bowlers James
Anderson and Stuart
Board should be
leading the meeting.
“What the batsmen
should be asking
Broad and Anderson is
how would you like us
to play? Sometimes
the best batting
coaches are the bowlers,” he
explained.
“If you asked Broad and
Anderson how to get England's
batsmen out they would say
you just have to bowl dots and
build pressure knowing they will
make a mistake. Those two
have so much experience they
can give the lads some home
truths about where they are
going wrong because
something culturally has to
change in this Test team.”

Porsche score historic victory in Bathurst 12 Hour
Queenslander Matt Campbell
snatched a historic victory
for Porsche in a drama-
fuelled Bathurst 12 Hour with
only nine minutes left of the
mammoth race around Mount
Panorama.
It looked like it would be
redemption for Jake Dennis and
his R-Motorsport Aston Martin
after being stripped of the Allan
Simonsen Trophy late on Saturday
night, but it was yet more pain for
the Englishman after a stunning
move by Campbell saw him
squeeze his No.912 Porsche past
8 Feb. - 14 Feb. 2019
to steal the lead and the victory.
Dennis was forced to settle for
second, while a four-way battle for
the final place on the podium went
to Raffaele Marciello who just
about managed to cling on with a
relentless Shane van Gisbergen
following him over the finish line by
less than a car length.
The Triple Eight man missed out
by on third by two tenths of a
second, ahead of Supercars rival
Chaz Mostert, and fell out on his
car onto the tarmac such was the
effort he put into his drive.
It was Campbell who took the main
plaudits as he and his EBM
teammates Dirk Werner and
Dennis Olsen saw Porsche
celebrate their first ever win at the
Bathurst 12 Hour.
EMB team owner Earl Bamber
said: “We wanted it badly. You see
the guys celebrating here. I have to
thank all of the team. We worked
flat out. This team is a monster.
Matty Campbell – an incredible
drive, he didn't put a foot wrong. It
was an incredible race. Nail biting!”
The late drama began when, with
little over 30 minutes remaining of
the race, the No.50 KTM driven by
Tim Macrow stopped on Conrod
Straight, triggering confusion
whether a safety car would be
brought out for the first time in
nearly eight hours.
17
Sports Corner
The safety car eventually did come
out and the Triple Eight driven by
Van Gisbergen, who was running
in fifth at the time, came in to get a
fresh set of Pirelli tyres in a gamble
to try and push ahead and claim a
podium place.
At the restart Dennis held his nerve
perfectly to continue in the lead,
with Marciello, Campbell and
Mostert closely following behind.
That sparked an almighty
scramble for not only the lead but
third place as well, with Marciello
driving expertly in a fading car to
s e e o f f Va n G i s b e r g e n ' s
courageous challenge.
Mostert and his BMW were leading
at the halfway stage after the first
six hours were marred by safety

changing their strategies and
trying to adapt.
One of those safety cars was saw
the end of ex-Supercars champion
Garth Tander with his No.22 Audi
falling way out of contention while
Erebus Mercedes also struck
trouble to end David Reynolds'
hopes of a repeat of his 2017
Bathurst 1000 win.
From that point, it looked like
Porsche were in sight of their first
ever victory at the Bathurst 12
Hour with their two 911s steamed
to the front of the pack with only
three hours remaining.

May 22 from and release them. That way you will be more balanced
Jun 22 throughout your day.
Temporary upsets regarding money might result from a computer
failure of some sort. Take care not to lose your temper over it,
Sagittarius. Instead, remain calm, focussed, and polite until
everything is worked out. Your financial condition itself still looks
very promising. It's just that the planetary energies don't favor
Nov 23 machines today, so they may all go out of whack. Hang in there.

Machines are likely to pose a few problems today, Cancer,
particularly where work and money are concerned. An unforeseen
problem might interfere with your social life, perhaps forcing you to
cancel a get-together you've been anticipating. If the person you
Jun 23 were supposed to meet protests, avoid taking out your frustrations
on him or her. Make new arrangements. It's only a temporary
Jul 23
situation.
Computers and other equipment could go haywire today, limiting
your abilities to work at maximum efficiency. Even though you're
usually calm and laid back, Capricorn, today the ogre in you may
be tempted to emerge. Don't let it. It will only cause tension
Dec 22 between you and those around you. Stay calm and focussed, call
Jan 20 in a technician, and enjoy the break from your routine.

Obstacles may arise in the course of your chores when machines
break down and interfere with your efficiency. Your frustrations
may cause you to want to yell and throw things. If you must blow
your top, Leo, do it in such a way as to avoid causing upset to
Jul 24 others. Go for a workout or jog. The machines will be fixed and the
situation will pass. Hang in there.
Aug 23
Payment for work you've performed may not come when
expected, Virgo, particularly if direct deposit is involved. The
planetary energies today don't favor the smooth functioning of
computers or other machines. This is a temporary setback and not
worth stressing over. Don't give in to the temptation to lose your
Aug 24 temper. All will be straightened out and your funds will be in their
Sept 23 proper place.
Don't try to sign up for a class over the phone or online today,
Aquarius, as it probably won't work. This also isn't a good day to
travel - delays are likely whether you fly or drive. If you've been
planning a trip, don't finalize the arrangements now. Wait a few
days, as computers and other equipment used in such
Jan 21
arrangements are likely to malfunction, and you could end up

frustrated.
No matter what friends tell you, Pisces, this isn't the day to make

Patty's Day DUI
On Saint Patrick's Day, an Irishman
who had a little to much to drink was
driving home from the city and his car
was weaving violently all over the
road. A cop pulled him over.
"So," said the cop to the driver,
"Where have you been?"
"Why, I've been to the pub of course,"
slurs the drunk.
"Well," says the cop, "it looks like
you've had quite a few to drink this
evening." "I did all right," the drunk
says with a smile.
“Did you know," says the cop, standing
straight and folding his arms across
his chest, "that a few intersections
back, your wife fell out of your car?”
"Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk.
"For a minute there, I thought I'd gone

objecting to including the fee in

letter, signed by the Regional Vice-
President for the Asia-Pacific for IATA,
Conrad Clifford, said Bali's plans to

Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
that operates under the auspices of
the United Nations.

proposed US$10 fee could result in a
possible downturn of 190,000 foreign
passengers each year.
In the same letter, the IATA official said
he would welcome the opportunity to
meet with the Governor or his

The Dangers of Development
for Development's Sake
Balinese Rock Musician-
Activist Robi Navacula
Questions Need for US$10
'Heritage Fee'
Outspoken Bali rock musician Gede
Robi, also known as Robi Navacula,
has made his views known on plans
by the Province of Bali to impose a
US$10 fee on all foreign tourists
visiting the Island.
Navicula warns that plans to impose
the fee may only give birth to a new
island-wide polemic.
Quoted by detik.com, Navicula,
speaking on Thursday, January 31,
2019 said: “Will tourism in Bali open
itself to millions of tourist visitors only
to have these visitors flee when they
find inadequate roadways unable to
accommodate so many people? Will
Bali become more selective in
welcoming tourists - how will that
work? If Bali welcomes unlimited
tourists but charges US$10 is that a
contradiction? If the fee is for
preserving the natural environment,
won't this in itself create a new
polemic?”
Turning his attention to how the
proposed fee will be used to upgrade
the natural environment and preserve
Balinese culture, Robi Navacula said
he hopes any revenues derived from
the fund would not be used for new
infrastructure projects and be used
31
News Corner
instead for the protection of the
natural environment.
“If the money is accumulated but used
to build concrete structures, why
bother?” he said. Adding that thought
must be given to carrying capacity, the
visual impact of expanding tourism,
and the overstock of hotels and
restaurants. He said Bali needs to
look at the prevailing conditions
during peak season when occupation
rates he said are running only around
50%.
Calling for a moratorium on new
hotels, the musician wants Bali to stick
with the spirit and theme of cultural
tourism.
Navicula said the provincial
government needs to first acquire a
full understanding of how to preserve
culture and nature before collecting
any additional contribution from
foreign tourists. Warning: “Don't
collect funds that are used in the end
to destroy nature.”
Robi is worried that funds will be used
to build a shopping malls in Bali's
mountain-lake district of Bedugul
when the focus should be on
protecting Bali's water resources in
the surrounding mountainside jungle.
He said people were forgetting why
Bali's mountains are home to many
ancient temples that he claims were
built to remind people that the Island's
jungle must not be disturbed.
He accused national and local leaders
of lacking a holistic approach to
development. Because money is
involved, leaders tend to think only of
economic growth, while destroying
the great wealth of Nation's natural
resources.

KUTA WEEKLY Indonesian Constitution
Court Outlaws the Use of
GPS Applications in
Motor Vehicles
REAL ESTATE GUIDE Kompas.com reports that the
Indonesian Constitutional
Court (MK) has refused an
appeal against a law outlawing
the use of Global Positioning
Systems (GPS) installed on
mobile telephones while
operating a motor vehicle.
The appeal against the law was

Community, represented by
their chairman, Sanjaya Adi
Putra, who tried to persuade the
Kuta Weekly Court that the use of GPD
technology is needed in a

including online transport

review of Section 106

the Toyota Soluna Community
respected the decision of the
Constitutional Court that heard
from a number of experts, but
he still feels the Court's decision
is problematic. Adding: “We
value the decision of the
Constitutional Court. But the
MK's decision leaves the
problem that GPS applications
have become an important and
needed application. What's
more for those earning their
livelihoods as online drivers
(ojek). “
Adi said his challenge to the law
before the Courts was done
because of the changing
requirements of the modern
era. He said the law's focus on
the possibility of distracting a
driver's attention can have a
variety of interpretations. “The
phrase 'not disturbing

concentration' – what are the
parameters of that phrase?
This is different from texting
while driving, which is clearly
dangerous and not
recommended. But when it
comes to GPS applications as
an aid-to-navigation they can
actually assist concentration on
the road,” explained Adi Putra.
He went on to say that vehicle
manufacturers are now
including navigation systems
using GPS as standard
equipment in vehicles they
produce. Many cars have
dashboard screens that
incorporate both GPS
navigation and the driver's
hand phone. There are also
GPS application that use voice
technology to help drivers
maintain their concentration on
the road ahead. Adi Putra said
these factors make it wrong to
impose a blanket ban on using
GPS technology while driving
and each use and applications
should be considered on a
case-by-case basis.
The law forbidding the use of
GPS applications by motorists
provides for fines of up to Rp.
750,000 or three months in jail.

shock for domestic air travelers
in Bali. Referring to the "cultural
necessity" for Indonesian
travelers to purchase gifts and
souvenirs (oleh-oleh) for family
and friends, Wiraputra
suggests the new baggage
rules may eliminate the

holiday and, in the end, could

Wiraputra believe that the
increased cost of traveling
with luggage domestically in
Bali will probably not have a
prolonged or significant
impact on the handicraft and
souvenir sector in Bali.
“There will be an impact, but
it won't be significant,” he
said.
Meanwhile, recent visits to
local shopping centers
specializing in “oleh-oleh”
show that business has slowed.
Operators of gift shops,
however, remain uncertain if
the current business downturn
is connected to the added
expense of traveling with
luggage or merely reflects
reduced activity during the
January low season for travel.
