Dear LIB readers: How do you let a man know he doesn't satisfy you in bed?

From a female LIB reader
What's the easiest way to let your man know you don't enjoy sex with him and you need him to improve without offending him? I have a high sexual libido and I doubt I will be faithful to any man who can't give it to me well. This is the man I intend to marry and I would really like to be faithful but my sexual satisfaction is very important to me. When he gives me head, he pretends to use his tongue when I know it's his fingers. He's also not big on foreplay and doesn't last long. He always leaves me unsatisfied after every sexual encounter. How do I let him understand without offending him? And can he even get better or is this how it will always be? Na only me waka come, make I know now so that only me go start to dey waka go

Cameron Diaz says she doesn't want kids of her own

It's one thing for a woman not to be able to have kids but when a woman who can have kids says she doesn't want them, I do a double take. Actress Cameron Diaz, 41, told the August edition of Esquire Magazine that kids were not on her agenda.
"It’s so much more work to have children. To have lives besides your own that you are responsible for - I didn’t take that on. That did make things easier for me. A baby - that’s all day, every day for 18 years. Not having a baby might really make things easier, but that doesn’t make it an easy decision'.
