The Sex Kitten

  The Black Keys--Your Touch I've always spent a decent amount of time researching the topics that I want to write about for this blog. But lately, I can't seem to put my finger on exactly what I want to say. This entry is no different. I have a vague idea on what I want to talk about, but I'm having a hard time knowing exactly how to look it up. What I want to talk about is something I recently learned the term for -- skin hunger.   Just like we hunger for food, we crave physical affection from others. The chemical Oxytocin plays  a huge role in our lives. The release of oxytocin happens when we are touched, and it makes us feel trusting, safe, and happy. It is what causes us to feel attached to others. High levels of oxytocin means low stress levels. Basically, cuddling up to someone can relieve your stresses. So, what happens when we don't get that? Everyone is different, but for the most part, people who are suffering from this 'skin hunger' seem to b...

That title could refer to a lot of things, but I mean it in that I haven't posted since the beginning of the year. There is no excuse. Yes, I was busy for a bit, but I was using that as an excuse mostly. My computer did crash and is still being problematic (it actually crashed in the middle of this sentence, so we'll see if I can even finish this post). Writing blog posts on my phone is not something I can really do, nor do I want to try. So, my apologies for that. Most of my posts are thought-out. I find a subject I want to write about and I research it, showing educational facts and information I find useful/interesting. But since I can't have more than one tab open without my internet freezing up, this post isn't going to be like that. As a matter of fact, I think it's just going to be me talking about things that are on my mind. Let that be your warning to stop reading now, or proceed with caution. The inner-workings of my mind are confusing even to me, and af...

 Hugh Hefner (87) with wife, Crystal (27), seems to be in a never-ending sexual prime. I have always thought there was something called 'sexual prime.' I had always had the impression that younger men, in their late teens-early 20's were at their sexual peak, whereas women didn't reach it until they were in their 30's. This subject has popped up more recently in my life. Being in my early twenties, sex is something different than it was five years ago (along with a lot of other things). Having gone through my own relationships and experiences, I started to wonder what kind of pull a 'sexual peak' has on a relationship. Doing a bit of research, I'm finding out that the idea of a peak or prime is actually a misunderstood myth. It all comes back to Alfred Kinsey, my favorite sexologist. He founded the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction in Indiana (that I would love to attend for graduate school if I ever go back). Kins...

 Yikes. I told myself and my readers that I would focus this year. I guess that hasn't really happened, has it? I know I'm not going to get another chance to write before the new year, so since I am sitting in bed, alone, with Pandora blaring, I should type something out quick. This blog means a lot to me. But this year, I tried to make everything else mean a lot, too. I tried to get over my anxieties. I flew a plane! I started learning guitar, I sang on a stage (with friends, myself, and myself with my guitar!), I drove to Minneapolis, I saw my favorite comedy stars, I saw Tom Petty, I got myself into a concert for free by saying I knew the band and then actually meeting the band. I got back into the music I used to love & discovered so many new bands. I really rediscovered my love for music this year.  I met so many people, some who have stuck around, some who were here for a reason & moved on with their lives and became memories to me. Some I keep making memor...

I'm just horrible at keeping up a blog, aren't I? I've been trying to channel my creative side lately, and I've been wanting to write and draw a lot. So, I will try and keep up a lot better this month. If you have any questions you want answered, or any topics you want me to cover, please let me know. Anything to help with my (periodic, yet stifling) writer's block is much appreciated. In the meantime, please enjoy this video from CollegeHumor , which is the reason I have been less than productive in the past month. Their videos are just too damn addicting, and this one relates to my blog. It brings up a really interesting point, too. I think a lot of things he jokes about in the video are really true.   Why Sex is Like Magic.

I had no idea it was National Orgasm Day! That's crazy. Crazy AWESOME. Though we definitely don't need a specific dedicated to orgasm. An orgasm away keeps the doctor away, right? Or something like that. The awesome thing about this day is that you don't need anyone but yourself to celebrate (though it certainly doesn't hurt to have someone help you out ;) Honestly, I don't have much to say about the subject, but I am going to use this opportunity to say one thing that really bothers me. I've written about it in the past, and bring it up countless times in sex discussions, and it's so difficult to get men&women to understand. FIRST, there are two kinds of female orgasm--clitoral and vaginal. For some reason, there is this cultural stigma attached to sex that says that if a female has a clitoral orgasm as opposed to a vaginal one, it doesn't count. It DOES count; it's still an orgasm! As it is, only about 32% of women can orgasm vaginally from ...

  Hey guys! It's been quite awhile since I've posted in here, due to a very busy summer schedule. I have a lot of really interesting things packed away in my head, ready to be written about, when I have the time. To remind you all that I am, in fact, still interested in my blog, here is a little clip sent to me by a friend. The facts in this video are very entertaining, and a good reminder as to why we shouldn't compare our sex lives to those in porn videos. Enjoy!
