Hit the spot > The mysteries of the G-spot and P-spot Brittney MacDonald Life & Style Editor C2 as it is February, romance is in the air, and ona lot of people’s minds! How can you ensure that you please that special someone on the day of reckoning aka V-day? Well, you could go the sugar daddy/mama route and shower them with gifts, or you could just be a really amazing lover... Sound difficult? That’s because it is. Sex is like a really awkward game of Calvin-Ball—the rules constantly change and you never know if you're winning or losing until someone yells “Done!” However, if it’s your intention to woo your beloved or obligatory one- night-stand, have no fear! I am here to educate and enlighten regarding that one perfect pleasure button in all of us. Known as the G-spot in women, and the P-spot in men, this little bundle of nerves is the hot key to romantic success. But where do you find such an illusive temptation? With the G-spot, it’s acommon misconception that it is located along the back of the vaginal wall. This isn’t true. The G-spot is actually the back of the clitoris, so it is located inside the vagina, near the vaginal opening. The quickest way to find it? Make a “G” with your hand, curling your thumb in towards the inside of your palm to form the little cleft. Insert your thumb past the vaginal opening, laying your fingers over the pubic bone. Your curled thumb is now rubbing up against the G-spot. So for those of you who were concerned, the saying is true—size really doesn’t matter. The P-spot is a little trickier to find. P-spot actually refers to the prostate, which is located in the middle of the pelvis. Only men have them, and they are incredibly sensitive. It has some prime real estate, being as it is located between the penis and the bladder, but this also makes it a little harder to find, since it’s smaller than the G-spot. The easiest way to find the P-spot is to insert ig your finger into the rectum and run it along the wall closest to the penis until your partner tells you that you found it. If butt stuff isn’t your thing, you can also stimulate the prostate by applying some serious pressure on the perineum while your partner has an erection. This is a little trickier, but it is doable. Press up as much as you can with two fingers, Planning the perfect bro-date > How to catch up with an old buddy on Valentines Greg Waldock Staff Writer Vitentine’s Day shouldn't just be about romantic love. It’s an opportunity to spend time with the people who matter, and friends can be the most important people in your life. Plan a classic bro- date with an old friend (“bro” and “dude” are going to be used here in their non- gendered Californian contexts). Maybe the significant other is out of town, maybe one of you has recently become single, maybe you both just need time away from the romantic life. Here are some options for a nostalgic night out with that long-time bro in your life. Night on the town Pub night! Vancouver is one of the best cities in the world for pub nights. Gastown is always a safe bet, but almost anywhere urban in the entire greater Vancouver area is good. This is not the cheapest option, but it does get you out and about, meeting new people and opening the option for zany shenanigans like exploring abandoned buildings or falling asleep on a curb. After you're good and boozy, find a comfortable chair, park bench, or sidewalk and reminisce about the “good old days,” like that time you both wandered around in the old forest outside your high school and found an idyllic pond and a dead dog next toa heroin needle. Surrey sure was great back in the day. Nostalgia walk If youre (un)lucky enough to still live near where you grew up, go visit the old haunts. The elementary school where you met, or the first basement suite one of you ever lived in on your own. Just the familiar old streets can bring back a lot of good memories, and that’s what tonight is all about. This is best done sober in my opinion, so you can legitimately catch up with your buddy and bring you back to when you were kids. If you don't live near where you grew up, go explore the new territory and compare the new and the old. Gaming You don’t need booze or nostalgia to reconnect. Destroy in NHL 2016 or Call of Duty’s zombies-mode like you always used to. If your friend moved away to another town, play online and rekindle the friendship with the spirit of competition and a can of ass-whooping. This is the easiest, most relaxing option. It’s amazing how fast gaming can make the night feel like old times. Movie night Films and booze go hand in hand. Splash some rum into a fountain drink and watch the shittiest movies in theatre— pick ones empty enough to be able to and then forward. You'll be able to feel the muscle, just try to rub against it. If this all sounds a little too complicated, or you're not sure you want to risk fumbling around in the dark, there are plenty of adult toys that you can incorporate into your Valentine’s Day jubilation that are made to stimulate these elusive pleasure points. stretch your legs out and to chat a bit without annoying anyone. Alternatively, Netflix has its extensive collection of cheesy 80s schlock that reminds you of your childhood. Suggested film/ drink pairings: Pacific Rim with a ton of Molson or Budweiser, Jurassic Park with a nice craft dark lager, or Hobo with a Shotgun with shots of straight absinthe.
