Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: It takes a long time for me to get to the point of climax and my husband has started complaining about the “work.” That’s what he calls it.

My body catches fire momentarily and then loses it several times before I actually make it to climax — if I do. And it can take 45 minutes or so. What do you suggest? — Frustrated and Fed Up, South Winnipeg

Dear Fed Up: Let the escalation of excitement to orgasm be in your control, as well as your husband’s, when you’re making love. He shouldn’t have to do all the “work” for 45 minutes or so every single time. So inform him you’re joining him in the sexy project of turning Wonderful You on, big time!

Turning a man on, as you know, is much easier, especially if he isn’t worried about something like overextended foreplay. Make a trip to a sex shop for a clitoral stimulator that gently works very well and neither of you are doing much work, except playing around and enjoying the benefits of excitement you don’t have to work for.

There are several brands now. Love Nest sex shop owner Linda Proulx suggests the new Womanizer product called Starlet, which costs less than $100. Too shy to show up at 1580 Taylor Ave. with the frosted windows? The store’s products are on their website at lovenestonline.com and you can get your packages delivered to your own little love nest.

 

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I ate too much at dinner again, and groaned a bit as I pushed back to stand up, and my partner said coldly, “You’re getting fat!” I looked down at his head as he sat there, and said, “And you’re going bald!”

That ended that, and we are barely talking. I am so hurt by his comment. He knows I like to cook and eat, and he loves the food I cook himself.

I must admit, I have gained almost 50 pounds since the wedding two years ago. On the other hand, his beautiful black hair is falling out, and I don’t see him doing anything about it. At least he could shave his head and look cool instead of looking like his old dad.

We have hit the ditch sex-wise and I don’t know how we get us out of this. — Avoiding Each Other, Brandon

Dear Avoiding: Very personal criticism hurts twice as much when it comes from your loved one — especially the one you are intimate with. So, even though you two can’t get the insulting words back in your mouths, you need to apologize profusely for hurting each other.

Actually, you are the luckier one because it is possible for you to lose weight many different ways.

Growing back hair is more difficult — and slower — but some people have luck with hair-growth products now available. But your husband should see a doctor to see if it would be helpful for his type of baldness and what to try.

It’s true shaved heads are cool and in fashion, and some men balance out the look with beards.

Criticism of your body by your lover hurts, but sometimes you can get past it, and when you’re over the anger, make a few changes. You can bring back a strong physical attraction to each other — or someone else. Better get this patched up fast.

‘Useful starting point’: Manitoba teacher commissioner received 94 complaints in 15 months, report reveals

Maggie Macintosh 5 minute read Updated: 4:28 PM CDT

Ninety-four complaints about teacher misconduct were flagged in the 15 months after Manitoba set up an independent office to regulate the profession.

Commissioner Noni Classen has released a summary of the allegations brought to her attention and findings of investigations undertaken between January 2025 and March 2026.

A new disciplinary system, as well as an online registry where members of the public can look up the education level and standing of teachers and school clinicians, came into effect Jan. 6, 2025.

“These processes can be difficult and deeply personal for everyone involved, including students, families, teachers and school administrators,” Classen wrote in a 24-page report published this week.

IIU report concludes WPS officer’s actions reasonable in non-lethal 2024 shooting

Free Press staff 3 minute read 1:45 PM CDT

An armed and barricaded suspect told a Facebook live video stream he “would like to be shot to death” before a Winnipeg police officer shot him with three non-lethal beanbag rounds.

The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba, a civilian police watchdog, on Wednesday released its final report into the Feb. 26, 2024 incident on Worthington Avenue in St. Vital.

The IIU concluded in September 2024 the officer’s actions were reasonable, but the 11-page report was on hold until the suspect’s charges were dealt with in court.

“Given the totality of the circumstances, the outcome of this incident could have ended in a much more serious manner,” then-IIU civilian director Roxanne Gagné wrote. She did not recommend criminal charges against the officer.
