3 h. ago My girlfriend told me she prefers big penises. Now I’m worried I won’t satisfy her

She has apologised for mentioning a much larger ex – but the comment still haunts me. Should I walk away?I have been seeing a woman whom I met online for almost a year. Before we met face to face, we had a number of phone calls, during which she became very sexual very quickly. She asked me the size of my penis (which is slightly above average). Then she told me she liked big penises and that an ex-partner’s was 12in (30cm) long. This made me feel very insecure and I told her this. She said: “It’s only a preference.”Since then, this issue has surfaced again and again. I know it’s hard to believe, but we haven’t had penetrative sex yet. (Initially, I wanted to take things slow. Plus, she is menopausal and hasn’t been feeling sexual much of the time.) We do have other kinds of sex and she says I am the “best” in this respect. But penetrative sex, for me, is very important. She says I’m “big enough” and that she is sure I’ll satisfy her – but the thought that she “prefers bigger” is de...

3 h. ago Twelve days in Gaza: what happened while the world looked away?

One of the consequences of Israel’s 12-day conflict with Iran was a drop-off in attention paid to the war in Gaza, where a terrible humanitarian situation deteriorated even further. This is a timeline of what happenedIn the weeks leading up to Israel’s war with Iran, which it launched on 13 June, there had been little let up in its offensive in Gaza. A tenuous ceasefire had broken down in March, followed by a wave of airstrikes, as well as an 11-week blockade on all aid. Though some humanitarian assistance was allowed in from late-May, military action intensified at the same time.Growing numbers of desperate Palestinians were being killed as they sought scarce food either from looted aid convoys or from distribution hubs set up by the new, secretive Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a group backed by Israel and the US as an alternative to the existing, much more comprehensive UN-led system. Rolling IDF “evacuation orders” covered much of the territory. Continue reading...

4 h. ago Shattered Lands by Sam Dalrymple review – the many partitions of southern Asia

A deeply researched history that examines colonial and post-colonial faultlines, from Aden to MyanmarEarlier this summer, amid renewed tensions between India and Pakistan following a terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, Donald Trump remarked that the two countries had been fighting over Kashmir for “a thousand years”. It was a glib, ahistorical comment, and was widely ridiculed. Shattered Lands, Sam Dalrymple’s urgent and ambitious debut, offers a more comprehensive rebuttal. Far from being a region riven by ancient hatreds, the lands that comprise modern India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar – as well as parts of the Gulf – were divided up within living memory from an empire in retreat.“You can’t actually see the Great Wall of China from space,” Dalrymple begins, “but the border wall dividing India from Pakistan is unmistakable.” Stretching more than 3,000km and flanked by floodlights, thermal vision sensors and landmines, this is more a physical scar left by the hurr...
