Why Do We Find It So Difficult to Talk About the Important Things in Life?
After being contacted this morning by a fellow Twitter warrior; I felt it necessary to write this piece. He like myself has a "cause", his being that person who brings awareness to Herpes and the fact that it is so widespread and somewhat common these days, but no one wants to talk about it. Of course, he was feeling discouraged and perhaps knew intuitively that I might be someone he could share his angst with. He was right.

Abstinence Smabsitnence
Abstinence is an incredibly hot topic in the sex ed community, especially in regards to whether if it is or is not a proper teaching method. I went to a high school where we had a health class that focused almost entirely on abstinence education. We wereessentially just told to never have sex. They told us terror stories of abortions as a scare tactic but never talked about the practical uses of condoms. We were taught about sexually transmitted infections but not for the purpose of education but to scare us away from having sexual intercourse.

A Real Man
A Real Man I was coming home from my punishing housekeeping day job on the bus. I was working at a resort on South Padre Island during the summer season. The next couple days were infrequent days off, so I was looking forward to a beer and falling into a deep sleep. It was going to also be a girl’s night; one of my buddies at work needed a drink as much as me. It was the last stop on South Padre. A couple guys got on the bus. I recognized one of them. He was Rick; I had met him previously at a party on the island at Boomerang Billy’s. The guy that was with him, I’d never met. I’m pretty much an anti-social bitch most of the time, but this guy was so positive and happy. It just oozed out of him along with a lot of self-confidence. That’s the only ice-breaker for me. Self-confidence in a man is sexy. So I decided okay, just this once I won’t be a bitch and this one can talk to me. I could tell he was much younger than I was. He was very tall, yet clearly had some Mexican. But hey, that’s 90 percent of the valley. So I had told myself when I moved there I’d probably have to adjust my attractions to something a little more realistic if the occasion ever presented itself. Because the majority is a culture I’m not familiar with but was curious about from working with them. The ladies I worked with weren’t always nice to me on the job. But when it came to breaks and after work, I never went hungry or had to walk home. They worked so damn hard yet they were always happy and in a great mood. I was envious of them in that respect. I wondered how they could be so damn happy all the time.

Cursed, Period
I grew up in the 70's and 80's in an Italian Catholic home with parents who never talked about S-E-X. The topic, never brought up intentionally but sometimes penetrating the impervious genetically inbuilt "wall of shame" via the television, was met with complete denial. I never brought it up either. I think I was born into the family with the avoidance gene already firmly expressed.

The Case Against Circumcision
It's almost one year since Jonathon Conte committed suicide. At the time of his death, Conte was 34. He lived in San Francisco. He suffered from depression. His depression was reportedly linked to his circumcision — the removal of the foreskin from the penis, a procedure usually performed as an infant for religious or cultural reasons.

This Is What Happened After My First One Night Stand
I was 18, and vulnerable. I was fresh out of an incredibly controlling, abusive relationship with a man who made sure to tell me that I was a horrible human being for having a sexual history before he came into my life. At that point, I hadn't even slept with many people in my life - but, the funny thing is that facts never seem to matter to people like him.

Understanding Male and Female Orgasms
Have you ever wondered what it feels like when a someone of the opposite sex has an orgasm? Chances are, you did. Everyone does. Orgasms are one of the hardest sensations to really describe, because you need the right body parts in order to really understand what it feels like.
