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.

The deep end

Warning: edge play of all varieties mentioned. If it isn't your thing, i'd suggest turning back now. I think it's time i've accepted a few labels for myself; masochist, edge player, sick-fuck. Sexual guilt is actually something i've never dealt with before. I've always been very "on my own terms." I lost my virginity at 17 to a boy i really loved because we decided it was a good time for us (he was a virgin too, and a year younger than me). It was a good experience and we were together for a long time but i knew it wouldn't be forever. We're still friends to this day, he's pretty cool. I went through a "slut phase" in college because i felt like it and wanted to. My sexual partners (at the time) were all really cool about it. I had my first MFM threesome and OTHER people were so mad! How dare i let them take advantage of me! ...Excuse me? It was my fucking idea. We were sitting in a hot tub, chilling out (we may have been dr...

Dear Virginia, Fuck You.

The state of Virginia is now aloud to discriminate against gays and other potential adopters as well as six other characteristics. Read the full article from the washington blade here . The Virginia State Board of Social Services voted 5 to 1 on Wednesday to allow licensed adoption agencies to refuse to approve adoptions or foster parents based solely on a would-be parent’s sexual orientation as well as six other characteristics.   The board took that action by rejecting for the second time this year an adoption related rule change first drafted in 2009 by state social services officials under former Governor Tim Kaine.   The proposed change called for banning discrimination in the state’s adoption and foster care system solely because of someone’s sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, disability, political beliefs, or family status.   Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and the state’s controversial attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli, who took office...

Public Service Announcement: 4th of July

For those of you in the United States, a major holiday is coming up; Independence Day. Please remember to drink responsibly, sleep somewhere if you have to. DUI's aren't worth it.  Also please remember to make sure noise-reactive pets are locked up safe and sound.  Leash slips and escapees because of firework scares are frequent for this holiday.  Animals get scared and bolt, going much farther than they normally would because of fear.  Animals generally don't know the way back home.  If you've got a noise-reactive animal you're worried about schedule a vet appointment for some sedatives or try one of the products on the market made for this very issue; the thunder vest. We'll be back to your regularly scheduled sex commentary on Tuesday. Have a good holiday everyone!
