My boyfriend and I have been dating for a while. Things are going great, except lately he has not wanted to have much sex. What can I do to increase his libido? One of the biggest differences between men and women is what turns them on. Guys A. Nothing kills libido like stress. Ask him if something is stressing him out. As soon as the stress passes things might be great again. Regardless of what is going on, my advice remains the same — striptease. get turned on visually, while women get turned on by touch. If you want to arouse a guy, you better stimulate his visuals. This is why guys like pornography to turn themselves on. One study showed that 100 percent of males are aroused by watching pornography. Women need touch and contact to get aroused. That is why extended foreplay is so important for women — not only to get turned on, but to reach orgasm. only to get turned on but Try to build seduction by what you wear, or don't wear. Perhaps you want to buy some lingerie that accentuates your features. Or, use Halloween as an excuse to try on sexy outfits. Rock a sexy cop, sexy Pocahontas or sexy 1920s oil tycoon costume (I've seen it done). Perhaps trying on outfits will tickle one of his sexual fantasies and make him want to role- play.

"I think without Cole and having Keef at the five and having T-Rob coming in, we're going to be a lot quicker in coming off ball screens and being able to trap and sometimes switch with the five," he said. "Keef can guard and T-Rob can guard, so I think we'll be a lot quicker on the perimeter." Robinson said he doesn't think the game plan will change — Self always wanted to play up-tempo last year, he said — but the team this year is more geared to play to those strengths. fast from the beginning, so for us to have a more athletic team from top to bottom just put us right where we want to be" Robinson said. nificant drop-off reminded him of another team he played for at Kansas.

NEXT GAME: WHO: Kansas vs. Seminole State CC WHEN: Saturday, 11 a.m. WHERE: Lawrence Kansas struck first, going up 2-0 after a homerun by senior outfielder Liz Kocon to right field in the bottom of the first inning, with a runner on second. In the next inning, the Jayhawks chased Johnson County's starting pitcher Lynna Kays after adding eight more runs onto their lead on six hits. The Jayhawks lost the shutout in the third inning after an error by KU led to a run scored by the Cavaliers. That would be the only run scored against Kansas for the rest of the game. rest of the game. The Jayhawks pounced on the Cavaliers, totaling 16 runs on 15 hits with two errors.

She finished the game, retiring the side in three consecutive batters. After the game Jones commented on the backup her team gave her while she took control of the mound. a run scored. "It was awesome," Hull said on her offensive night. "My normal role on the team is a slapper, and my job is to just get on base, so I don't get a lot of RBI's. To come up in the situation and perform just felt really great." Edited by Michael Bednar The role of closing out the game belonged to sophomore pitcher and outfielder Alex Jones. With the slaughter rule about to take effect, Jones stepped to the mound in the seventh inning looking to get the job done. "I know that my defense is gonna back me up if the ball is put in play, but I was feeling it tonight, and I just felt really good and the defense did step up when they needed to," Jones said. Gill brought new rules just as any coach would do to keep his team focused and in line. Three of the biggest changes are the new rules on not cursing in the locker rooms or on the field, not using telephones the night before a game and not seeing women after 10 p.m. on any night. Another thing that really stood out to me about these rules was how they fit in to "forming the man," which is one of Gill's goals. These rules, while they take away distractions, also seem to take away some of the traditional football stereotypes of big tough guys who curse and womanize whenever the opportunity arises. I am by no means saying that any player actually fits that stereotype, or that Gill's rules have made a change, but on paper they sound good. The last one stood out to me as most interesting because the first thing I thought of was a line from the 1975 film "Rocky" Rocky is training for a heavyweight title bout when his trainer Mick tells him he cannot see his girlfriend anymore because, "women weaken knees." This was not Gill's reason exactly, but there are some common elements. The way I see it, Gill is not going to turn this program and its reputation around dramatically within a year, which is to be expected. But what he can do is start to change the reputation of the athletes. Some reporters have said that this will hurt recruiting, but I think if Kansas' trademark is producing well respected young men, that is not a bad reputation to have. elements. Gill has defended these changes as ways of keeping distractions away before games, which is a completely valid point. Although the rules may sound odd at first, they start to make sense when you think about how distracted the average person is by his or her phone or the opposite sex. Especially if the success on the field follows. Edited by Tim Dwyer
