Live & Let Love

So.. I was listening to NPR this morning (because I do that), and  there was a news story about a lesbian. She lives in Pakistan and is not planning on leaving.  She feared for her life a lot.  Not from the government but from her family and village (honor killings, etc). The story went on about how she fell in love with her best friend in high school and they had this undercover lesbian relationship until the girlfriend broke it off with her to marry a man and try to conform to the social norms. Eventually she moved on, tried to marry a man and two months in met another woman and fell in love. She divorced her husband (successfully) and now lives with her female lover in a nice apartment in Pakistan.

She doesn't fear for her life any longer, as two women living together in Pakistan isn't that uncommon. It's also very common for women to hold hands.

We should all be tolerant of those different from us.  I thought it was appropriate to update this entry on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Dr. King spoke mostly about religious and racial freedoms, but his words can be applied to any number of things, including alternate sexual attractions and alternate sexual lifestyles.

I was also reading some old posts on swingersboard (about fisting actually) and I was shocked how close minded some of the posters were. There are a lot of strange and varied fetishes in this lifestyle. As strange and varied as the people that make it up. If someone's talking about a fetish that makes you uncomfortable, just kindly let them know. If it's something you want to try, then go easy and take your time.  Don't freak out unnecessarily, it's rude. Keep an open mind y'all.

Looking for a place to start? Try some of these sites

I've either used or heard of all of these sites. Explications and success rates below. Listed in alphabetical order for.. fairness, yeah. [ Adult Friend Finder ] I can't suggest this website to anyone in my experience. I signed up for an account to get an accurate representation of what the site was like and if you are a free member, literally, every other button you push asks you to upgrade.  The website itself is terribly put together and the layout makes almost no sense. The site has several overlapping features and siging up for an AFF profile also gives you a profile of another type that I was never asked about when signing up. I put links to my Fetlife and SLS accounts and they froze my profile. Long review short - I'd take your time and your money elsewhere. [ Craigslist ] Very very hit or miss. Mostly miss for me, but once again if you know what to look for you'll do well enough. There is a lot of bots, a lot of spam and a lot of people with absolutely n...

For Fucks Sake, White People.

This isn't hard. I FOUND SOME READING FOR PEOPLE WHO SEEM TO BE HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING. YOU'RE WELCOME. What is racism. Why reverse racism isn't a fucking thing. But black people are racist. White privilege, you got it!* But not all white people. Let me play Devil's Advocate for a minute. If this is new to you, and if it is, that's ok, you're going to have some feelings to work through. I'm working through some of my own right now. It's ok to have feelings. It's not ok to snap at POC about how you feel you're except from the racist culture that permeates America. I'm guilty of it, you're guilty of it. We're all guilty of it. BUT, we can use our WHITE PRIVILEGE, to try to fucking do better. So let's do it, shall we? Full disclosure, I've skimmed a lot of these articles, they sum up things I've read and discussed with people in the past, my brain issues are not allowing me to read long articles at ...

KateHarding.net's "Guest Blogger Starling: Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced"

I found this article some months ago and was recently reintroduced to it. My last entry had to do with women related things, let's focus on what goes on inside the brains of us very lovey ladies and woman-identified peoples.  The full original article can be found here on KateHarding.net and I recommend every single person that comes to my blog go over there and read it (or read excerpts here). Gentlemen. Thank you for reading. Let me start out by assuring you that I understand you are a good sort of person. You are kind to children and animals. You respect the elderly. You donate to charity. You tell jokes without laughing at your own punchlines. You respect women. You like women. In fact, you would really like to have a mutually respectful and loving sexual relationship with a woman. Unfortunately, you don’t yet know that woman—she isn’t working with you, nor have you been introduced through mutual friends or drawn to the same activities. So you must look fur...
