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.

’Disgusting’ posters being investigated by police

Morgan Modjeski 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:22 PM CDT

The Winnipeg Police Service major crimes unit is investigating what some have labelled offensive and hateful posters on full-display at a Winnipeg home.

One of the people irked by the display is Gracie Garrett. She’s has lived on Ashburn Street in Winnipeg’s Minto neighbourhood for almost ten years. She’s never felt unsafe in the neighbourhood before, but now, a set of posters plastered on a nearby house are making her feel uneasy.

The five signs, posted facing the street prominently on a front window, contain a slur, refer to Nazis as “heroes” and call Muslims, Christians and other groups “evil.”

Learning of the signs Friday, Garrett said she’ll be reporting the posters to police, as she worries they incite and promote violence.

Blown lead spoils Jets opener

Blown lead spoils Jets opener

Mike McIntyre 7 minute read Friday, Oct. 2, 2026

Younger. Faster. Stronger.

They may still be a long ways from a finished product, but it’s safe to say the new-look Winnipeg Jets made a mostly favourable first impression on Friday night in front of a sold-out crowd at Canada Life Centre.

Sure, a 4-3 overtime loss to a hard-nosed Boston Bruins outfit is going to sting a little, especially since the home team was just 98 seconds away from a regulation victory.

But if the Jets can bottle up this kind of energy and effort, they should enjoy plenty of success over the course of the 84-game campaign.

Volunteer pop-up library axed from Manitoba Youth Centre

Volunteer pop-up library axed from Manitoba Youth Centre

Matthew Frank 3 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 11:25 AM CDT

Manitoba Corrections has cancelled a pop-up library program at the Manitoba Youth Centre, leaving inmates without librarian services and fewer options to borrow certain books.

The Prison Libraries Committee, part of the non-profit Manitoba Library Association, operated and funded the volunteer program since 2024 before it was shut down by the province last month. The group previously partnered with the province to offer the service because the facility has no dedicated library of its own.

“It is concerning that community members who are incarcerated, especially youth, are losing out on meaningful programming, access to information and rehabilitation efforts, which are offered at no cost to (Manitoba) Corrections. We urge Manitoba Justice to promote more library services and programming, not less,” said a Sept. 24 letter from the non-profit addressed to the justice minister.

Ashley Huot, chair of the Prison Libraries Committee, said she was puzzled when she received an email last month from Manitoba Corrections stating that the pop-up library was no longer needed.

A day on the campaign trail: Winnipeg's mayor, seeking a second term, does double duty

Malak Abas 12 minute read Friday, Oct. 2, 2026

In the weeks leading up to the civic election, Scott Gillingham has been performing a juggling act: he’s running to be Winnipeg’s 45th mayor, while still serving as its 44th.

“If someone asks me about the campaign, I’m going to answer them. But I think for most people, I’m the mayor of Winnipeg, even if I’m showing up as a candidate,” Gillingham, 58, says. “I try to do all I can to maintain that distinction.”

The Free Press joined Gillingham on a recent rainy September Saturday on the campaign trail, where he served in both roles during an event-laden day. City council’s final meeting before the Oct. 28 election was days earlier.

In Winnipeg, it’s rare for an incumbent to be defeated. But Gillingham knows his win in 2022 wasn’t exactly a landslide — he won with 27.5 per cent of the vote — and he’s been thinking about his second term ever since.

May be whiff of truth to ex’s odour ardour

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I ran into an old boyfriend I used to curl on a team with, and we went for drinks. We’ve been almost eight years apart, and I couldn’t remember why we broke up, as we always had such a great time together.

It wasn’t until the second date — this time on a weekend — that it came back to me, with a jolt. Pee-yew! I remembered he doesn’t use deodorant on weekends. Why? He enjoys his own body odour. I recalled that a bit too late, and it was just as awful as ever! I went home early.

Tonight, he called and I refused him another date. I said, “Think back. You remember why we broke up?” Then he said, “Oh yeah, you hated my no-deodorant weekend policy. Well, guess what? Some women don’t mind!” I said I really doubted that, and that ended the conversation. Miss L., wouldn’t any women find stinky underarms offensive?
