Black Lives Matter


George Floyd (Unknown, 1974-May 25, 2020)
Ahmaud Arbery (May 8, 1994-February 23, 2020)
Breonna Taylor (June 5, 1993 – March 13, 2020)


As someone with a blog platform, I feel it is my responsibility to speak out and use this in an effective way.
 This post is not about sex or relationships. It is about how you can do your part to combat the systemic racism that is rampant in our country, how you can make your voice heard. Black people are institutionalized and killed at an absurd rate, especially compared to their percentage in the population. George Floyd should not have died, and neither should the thousands of those before him. 
It is no longer possible to remain silent or "neutral." There are protests and marches in nearly every city in America--there are even protests popping up in different countries, in solidarity with us. If you are not able to protest, there are so many other ways you can help. I will list organizations that you can donate to and petitions you can sign. There is no excuse for not helping--black voices are everywhere telling you exactly what you should be doing. Listen to them.
BLACK LIVES MATTER.

Five Freebies List--Female Version.

So, I decided to make a list of my five freebies that I would pick, but this time, just girl celebrities. It's easy to have girl crushes--girls are so pretty. The ones I have on my list are hot, but I'd love to look like them too. Again, no particular order. 1. Emma Stone Zombieland, Easy A, Crazy Stupid Love, Friends with Benefits, etc. With a head of fire (though she pulls off any color hair) and a smoky voice, how does everyone not think she's beautiful? Not to mention she's a great actress and has a good sense of humor. And she's only 23!!!! 2. Anna Paquin http://www.trueblood-news.com/anna-paquin-beautiful-mind The Piano, Fly Away Home, Scream 4, X-Men, True Blood, etc. She plays my favorite character from a book, and she does it wonderfully. She portrays a sweet southern girl so well that she makes me want to move down there and be one myself. Plus that episode where Sookie appeals to Eric & Bill in that sexy red lingerie? Yum. Not to mention th...

Five Freebies List.

The holidays were very busy for me, and as a result, I got away from my blog :(. But to my surprise, my views have stayed pretty steady, so thank you so much!!! To ease me back into working on it, I'm doing a fun little post. I was watching Friends the other night when Chandler brings up a 'list' that he and his girlfriend have together. (Here is a link to the video: Friends - Freebie list.    It wasn't posting on here for some reason!) It's a list of five celebrities that you would be allowed to sleep with, while still dating your partner, if you ever get the chance. I found this funny because my boyfriend and I have talked about this before. So, just for fun, here's my list (in no particular order)!!!! 1. Heath Ledger. Candy, 10 Things I Hate About You, Casanova, The Dark Night, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Brokeback Mountain, etc. This man is, to me, the sexiest man who ever lived. It is very upsetting to me that he is no longer here, because I...

Why do you want to be a sex therapist?

Hey all!! I've decided to do an update for you. I hope you all enjoyed my interview with Josh. It was super entertaining and informative for me. Personally, I am monogamous, but I find the idea of non-monogamy fascinating. I do have another interview to post soon with a woman in a similar situation. She is married, yet both her and her husband have a couple of significant others outside of the marriage!! Her stories are pretty crazy, so make sure you stop by to check that out. Now, a lot of you haven't read this blog from the beginning and therefore may not know some stuff about me. I get asked a lot why I want to go into this field. The answer is because I suffered for several years to get answers and information about my own body, and I wish that things like that could be much more obtainable. I got my period when I was 11. I didn't know anything about it and I was too afraid to talk to my mom. I cried myself to sleep and thought something was wrong with me. Through...
