INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sexual performance can be a sensitive subject. Bring up the topic by telling your partner that you value them and the intimacy you share. Let them know that you don't see it as something they have to fix on their own. Rather, tell them that you want to work on your sex life as a team. You could say, "This isn't just on you - we should work together to make our sex life the best it can be. Plus, I'm excited to work on pleasing each other as much as possible!" Try to be optimistic and constructive instead of making your partner feel like there's something wrong with them. Say something like, "I care about you and want you to know I'm not judging you in any way. I know we can work together to build our physical and emotional intimacy." Ask your partner what they think might work. Do your best to keep the conversation honest but low-pressure. Have patience, try out new techniques, and see what works best for you and your partner. Tell them, "This is a process that might take some time, and that's totally normal. Let's just try out some new tricks and see what works." Performance issues can put a strain on a relationship. While it's helpful to approach the situation as a team, you should also be honest about all of your feelings, including frustration. Couples counseling could help you and your partner sort out complex emotions and explore issues that might be interfering with intimacy. When you discuss counseling, try not to frame it negatively. Instead, you could say, "We're both feeling a lot of emotions, and I think a counselor could give us a fresh perspective. It's better if we sort through our feelings instead of take them out on each other."

SUMMARY: Approach the subject as a team. Avoid assigning blame. Be open and patient about trying out new techniques. Consider going to couples therapy.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Grab a pencil or some colored pens and just start doodling! Express yourself and draw whatever inspires you. You could try drawing less realistic things like cartoons and manga, or perhaps draw something in the room or a friend or family member. A really nice way to use the paper would be to go outside and just draw what you see. Once you have finished you can proudly display your artwork, perhaps in your new origami frame! Think tic tac toe is the only paper game out there? Think again. There are other games you can play to occupy time when all you have is paper and pen. Try Haikai (Collaborative Poetry Game). You could also make your own paper puzzles such as sudoku. You can also play paper football. Simply fold the paper into a small triangle or roll it into a ball and then start flicking it around. You might also want to make goal posts, depending on how much paper you have. You can actually play the classic board game using just a sheet of paper (and a partner!). Draw out an 11x11 grid and label one side with letters and the other with numbers. Plot your ships and then start playing. Just don't cheat! . Draw a grid of evenly-spaced dots, perhaps around 20 dots x 20 dots. Now, each player takes a turn drawing a line between two dots. Whoever draws the 4th line of a box claims that box. Whoever has the most boxes when the grid is full wins! You can make a paper gun using paper, scissors, and a rubber band. With this weapon in hand, you can start an office war or start a game with your friends. Just be careful not to hit anyone in the eye!

SUMMARY: Start drawing! Play a paper game. Play football. Play Battleship. Play Dots and Boxes Make a paper gun and start a war with your friends!

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Lay your fish flat on a cutting surface. Locate the fish's gills and move your knife 12in (2.55.1cm) behind them. With your blade facing downwards, turn your knife slightly towards the head. Brace the fish's body with your nondominant hand while you cut at a 15-degree angle down to the spine. Flip the fish over and repeat the cut on the opposite side. If the head isn't fully removed by your 2 cuts, you can grip it and twist it off to fully remove it. Some fish, like trout, are traditionally cooked with the head still attached. With the head removed, take a steak knife and rest the blade across the fish's body so that your blade is perpendicular to the spine. Place your knife 23 inches (5.17.6cm) from the opening at the neck and slide the knife back and forth along the same line until you've cut all the way through the fish's body to create a steak. Repeat this process leaving 23 inches (5.17.6cm) of flesh between each cut to steak an entire fish. The difference between a steak and a filet is whether or not the bone was cut through. A steak is a cut through the bone, while a filet is cut around the bone. Put your finger on the blunt edge of your filet knife and poke your knife through the back of the fish, right above the spine. Slide your filet knife sideways through the bottom of the fish. Maneuver the knife slowly through the entire length of your catch, keeping your filet knife parallel to the spine. Keep your knife 1812 inch (0.321.27cm) above the backbone, depending on the side of your fish. You may need to bend over a little bit to get good angle for your cut. You can place your nondominant thumb on the opening created by your initial cut to peel the skin back and make cutting easier. Use your nondominant hand to peel the flesh open so that the fish's side is exposed at 35-45 degrees. Use small cuts to slice through any connecting tissue at the base of the fish's side to fully remove your fillet. Peel the fillet off of the fish's body and set it aside. Flip the fish over and repeat this process on the opposite side. You can carve around any bones that you encounter if you'd like. Depending on the fish's species and size, you may want to do this when you're preparing to cook though to avoid accidentally removing any flesh. Rotate the fish as you flip it over so that you stay facing the spine. For the second fillet, start at the tail end and cut towards the head. You can peel or cut the thin layer of skin off of your filets if you'd like to, although many recipes require the skin to stay on during cooking.

SUMMARY:
Remove the head if you don't plan on using it. Cut through the fish's spine to create fish steaks. Turn the fish's spine towards you and cut above the backbone to start a filet. Peel the side of the fish up to cut a fillet out.
