Desire

"Profound desire, true desire is the desire to be close to someone. From that point onwards, things change, the man and the woman come into play, but what happens before--the attraction that brought them together--is impossible to explain. It is untouched desire in its purest state.

"When desire is still in this pure state, the man and the woman fall in love with life, they live each moment reverently, consciously, always ready to celebrate the next blessing.

"When people feel like this, they are not in a hurry, they do not precipitate events with unthinking actions. They know that the inevitable will happen, that what is real always finds a way of revealing itself. When the moment comes, they do not hesitate, they do not miss an opportunity, they do not let slip a single magic moment, because they respect the importance of each second."

Excerpt from "Eleven Minutes" by Paulo Coelho, Page 133

A Flat Stomach

A little boy walks into his parents’ room to see his mom on top of his dad bouncing up and down. The mom sees her son and quickly dismounts, worried about what her son has seen. She dresses quickly and goes to find him.

The son sees his mom and asks, “What were you and Dad doing?”

The mother replies, “Well, you know your dad has a big tummy and sometimes I have to get on top of it and help flatten it...”

“Your wasting your time,” said the boy.

“Why is that?” the mom asked puzzled.

“Well when you go shopping the lady next door comes over and gets on her knees and blows it right back up.”

Two can Play at That Game!

A woman is in bed with her lover who happens to be her husband's best friend.

They make love for hours, and afterwards, while they're just laying there, the phone rings.

Since it is the woman's house, she picks up the receiver. Her lover looks at her and listens, only hearing her side of the conversation ...

She is speaking in a cheery voice "Hello? Oh, hi. I'm so glad that you called. Really? That's wonderful. I am so happy for you. That sounds terrific. Great! Thanks. Okay. Bye."

She hangs up the telephone, and her lover asks, "Who was that?

"Oh," she replies, "that was my husband telling me all about the wonderful time he's having with you on his fishing trip."

Falling Out of Love

As time passes, people change/evolve, goals in life & future outlook progress (or not), feelings change, etc...we're human. I have noticed that with the maturity of a relationship, the more some people have to work at making 'it' work; keeping it fresh and new. The emotional bliss felt at the beginning does not necessary last a life-time. What happens when feelings change so much that you feel like you have fallen out of love?

It's hard enough telling someone you have fallen in love with them, how do you tell someone you have fallen out of love? Has this ever happened to you? Was it more or less difficult because you had already lost feelings for them? What caused you to fall out of love with your significant other? Did you think it was just a phase and did you then decide to stay together to see if it would pass? Did it pass? Or did the love fade even more? Did you just cut it off when you started feeling differently towards them? How did you let them know you were no longer in love with them? Did you have a conversation? Write a letter? Send a text message? Tell a friend/family to let them know? Just stop communicating? Or did they get the hint when you handed them the divorce documents? Did you later feel like you made a mistake and you fell back in love? Or did you realize that you had never fallen out in the first place?

Have you heard the powerful songs that exist about letting go of love? They really hit home when you are faced with the negative aspects of letting go. Below are three songs that discuss this quite emotional transition to the end of a relationship.

The Ripple Effect

“A painter, with a life entirely different from mine threw a pebble into the water. Small circles appeared where the pebble fell, which grew and grew until they touched a duck that happened to be passing and which had nothing to do with the pebble. Instead of being afraid of that unexpected wave, he decided to play with it.”

“Eleven Minutes” by Paulo Coelho. Pages 111-112.


It’s interesting and quite amazing how things, events, moments occur in our lives. Everything seems so random, but I believe everything happens for a deeper reason. People, in particular come into our lives at either the perfect moment, or the most inopportune time…or so we think. The ripple effect that they have in our lives is tremendous. It’s important to note how long of a ripple effect they have. How big is that wave they bring about? What do you do once someone has been introduced into your life? Do you “take pleasure in that sudden ripple that set the water rocking?” Or did the ripple start so far away that it has become so insignificant that it does not matter to you and you let them go? How does one decide whom to keep close at bay and who should not be part of their life story? Is it an unexplainable, unquestionable attraction that we are born with? I think about my close friends and family, the lost love, the passers-by and I instinctively, undoubtedly know who has caused the great big waves in my world and who was not meant to be written about in my book called “Life”.

The people I hold near and dear to me, the ones that were once boulders, causing tsunami’s in my mind and my heart, the ones I Love, will never leave my emotional being, my soul. Although they may not be by my side physically, they will always be in my heart. I hope you know who you are.

Freedom & Love

"Freedom only exists when love is present. The person who gives him or herself wholly, the person who feels freest, is the person who loves most wholeheartedly. And the person who loves wholeheartedly feels free."

Health Perks From Making Whoopee Exposed!

(Blackdoctor.org.) -- Oprah's favorite doctor, Emmet Oz, along with a large number of other reputable experts, rave having protected sex on a regular basis has many valuable health perks. They suggest people have more sex, as long as it's protected and with someone they love. But, many Americans have several reasons that keep them from having sex. For instance, "Are you from Tennessee, because you're the only ten I see" or "Baby, did you just fart, 'cause you blow me away" are just a few reasons horn dogs are denied "the mattress mambo," thus, it's health benefits. Typically, a man who tries too hard to pick up a woman is a major turn-off.

To be fair, a man can be turned off to the point of "running for cover" as well. For instance, a woman who takes too long getting ready can have her man go from being "all revved up" to dead asleep and snoring. Or being a cold fish during acts of intimacy can "take the wind right out of his sails," preventing his semen from swimming in vaginal seas. Plus, a woman who constantly criticizes her butt, boobs, thighs, belly etc. or never initiates "putting some motion to the ocean" can make men feel their women don't find them sexually appealing in general.

For almost all fish in the sea, talking about exes, gabbing too much in bed, not shaving often, never fixing one's hair as well as sporting body odor and ugly underwear can keep lovers at bay. Besides, pot-bellies, dirty fingernails and not retiring those stinky, stained sweatpants, with the homemade air-conditioning, can also leave horn balls high and dry. Oh, and big-time boozers "doin' the wang dang doodle," who have to be babysat and have their hair held back from the toilet, can certainly leave a "bad taste in one's mouth." Sadly, we have all most likely experienced how "getting wasted" can keep ourselves and our partners from being able to perform "the horizontal boggie".

Utilizing the power of a toothbrush can surely brighten-up one's sex life, too. Who wants their partner bolting out of their bed like the speed of lightening, struck by their "breath being stanky!" It is also highly recommended to keep belching, blurting out obscenities and seriousness to a minimum. Another good idea is to "spread one's wings" and crack a smile every once in a while for a person to "score" and have his or her sex life soar.

It's not an eye-opener the main reason people turn down sex with their spouses is because they're "too tired". Being "too stressed out," "feeling fat," "unattractive" and "too old" are other factors high on the list. Ironically, the reasons many people don't want to have sex can actually be relieved by lovemaking.
For one, sex can enhance people's sleep by making them catch zzzzzzzz's faster and more easily. Yay! So, you can kiss all those frustrating, restless nights tossing and turning good-bye!

Sex can also reduce stress, which is the #1 killer. That is, during orgasm, touching, massaging, oral sex and, mainly intercourse, oxytocin is released throughout people's bodies. Oxytoxin is the "Love Drug" and hormone that can make people and animals less stressed and more relaxed. It minimizes the stress hormone, cortisol, in people's bloodstreams. Plus, oxytocin acts as a bonding agent, creating emotions of closeness and exclusivity between partners.

There's yet more reason to "Oh" and "Moan!" For instance, sex can play the role of a painkiller, relieving migraine headaches, chronic lower back pain as well as cramps brought on by monthly visits from "Aunt Flow." The pain relief is due to oxytocin, endorphins and estrogen, in women, being released in people's bodies.

Merely, "having sex on the brain" can soothe pain. Research participants who fantasized about having sex while their hands were submerged in ice-cold water reported experiencing less pain and discomfort than those without having sexual escapades running around in their heads.

You might just want to let that treadmill get dusty instead of letting your sexuality get "rusty." Vigorous "sexercise" and running on the treadmill for 15 minutes daily can burn an equal amount of calories (200). However, it may be more realistic to know how many calories can be burned during intercourse that lasts for five minutes! Regardless, sex can help keep you fit and wanting to continue "doing it".

In addition, you can get "more bang for your buck" by saying "no" to expensive beautifying and age defying concoctions and "yes" to sex! Less stress from having more sex can really make people more attractive. More specifically, the youth promoting hormone, DHEA (dehydroepiandrostone) is let loose into people's bodies during sex, creating a "healthy glow" plus bright, young eyes.

If people increase their dosage of sex, they may be able to spend less time on their therapist's couch due to depression and anxiety; they can spend more time on their own and may find immense delight by "playing doctor" with their partner. Can you say, "Ah?" It is undoubtedly a blessing pleasure-inducing endorphins flowing throughout people's bodies during sexual activity can help alleviate depression and anxiety-what a load off. Besides, scientific studies also unveil people with active sex lives are happier, overall, than those barely getting any "nookie."

Have you ever been told, "Baby, you'd give me a heart attack?" Well, people need not worry about going down with a heart attack during "the act." Experts assert people's chances of dying from a heart attack during sex are less than one percent. Wouldn't that be the ideal way to go, though? Anyway, sex can actually decrease cholesterol and the risk of suffering a heart attack.

Sex can boost your immune system too by fighting off colds and flu. Subsequently, people with active sex lives are not only relieved from the misery of some illnesses, but also the highly, awkward and uncomfortable phone call to call in sick to work. In turn, there are less "headaches" for employers, also.

"Oh, Oh, Oh, Yes, Yes, Yes, More, More, More!" Having sex regularly helps maintain women's pelvic floor, resulting in a lower risk of suffering endometriosis. It also yields better control of urine flow, bowel functions, sexual arousal and experiencing the "Big O!" It is important to note you can maintain your pelvic floor by your very own via masturbating or practicing Kegel exercises. To do them, all you have to do is use the same muscles used to hold your urine. Just continue to hold those muscles for about 15 seconds, and then release and hold again.

One study showed having more sex can even decrease a woman's risk of battling Breast Cancer.
Plus, men who suffer erectile dysfunction can be up and going again and again. Those who masturbate on a regular basis create better blood flow to the penis, thus, have firmer erections in general, as long as they're healthy cardiovascularly. According to Dr. Emmet Oz., erectile dysfunction can indicate heart disease. So, men should see a specialist as soon as possible.

Back on the upside of things, men in their 20's who ejaculated five plus times a week were a third less likely to suffer Prostate Cancer. The reasoning is carcinogens in men are evicted from their bodies along with their semen during ejaculation.

In reference to Dr. Oz., having orgasms 200 times annually can make people actually live longer, by as high as six years! Therefore, it is suggested by all means you should be tending to protected, "grown folk business" four to five times in a week.

It is important to emphasize not "humping like rabbits," though. There is truly such a thing as having too much sex. For instance, tissues of men and woman's genitals are not always as durable as people may like. Therefore, sustainable damage to people's genitals is possible. Potential damage to a man's penis should surely get him to go see a doctor!

Disappointingly, Americans have lost the "Boot-Knocking Champions Title" to the Greeks while Japan came in last (http:// weird.news.about.com 2009.) Americans reportedly engage in the "sport" a measly 85 times a year, which is a glum occurrence of roughly one time every 4.3 days. The "blow" doesn't get any softer, either, considering out of the 26,000 people studied among 26 countries Americans were positioned well below the global average. The world norm is to be "bumping uglies" once every 3.5 days. So, if you're still not motivated to have sex on a regular basis given all the health benefits, "do it" for the sake of your country!

Yes, there are things our prospective mates can do to ruin our mood for sex and their chances of getting any of it. However, the male hippo tries to seduce his lady by making damn sure she sees him defecate, himself, #1 and #2 simultaneously. Next to impress, he utilizes his tail as though it was a helicopter propeller, flinging his fresh poop around and around at mighty speeds. The female hippos swoon and think he's super, sly for having the great talent of making his poop fly. Needless to say, things could always be worse-far worse!

So, you may want to let some things fly and have sex after all due to its many health perks. Yet, it is strongly encouraged to use protected sex and only share it with someone you know well and really love. Please, go to www.findarticles.com to read what people should know before they engage in any sexual activity.

Once that's done, you may want to rethink the cheesy pick up lines, long time to get ready for "the bed boogie," acts of resembling a cold fish and incessantly gabbing during lovemaking. You may also clean yourself of genital odor, put a brush thru your hair, ask your "honey" about what kinds of underwear he or she finds sexy, burn the holey, baggy sweatpants and be damn proud of your body. Plus, experts advice not allowing being tired, stressed or achy from stopping you from "getting your groove on". So, throw the freakin' "Boob Tube" out of the bedroom, take a breath mint and enjoy the "ride" on the highway to a healthier, happier, longer life. Last but not least, remember you can go solo and still receive the same benefits as those who have partners to do it for them. "Whoopee!"

What if...

What if I'm not a player, not looking to prance
Don't take my word, rather give me a chance
Want to distinguish myself from any other man
Paid attention to Obama saying YES WE CAN
We is defined as you and me together
Sure life is fine but could it be better
If your response is yes then here's food for thought
Forget all your exes and times that you fought
Clear your mind of when he said you're his pearl
Only to find out there was this and that girl
Kill beliefs for a moment that niggas ain't shit
Though all the failures at love suggest you should quit
Think back to the times yearning for a friend
Who'd stick by your side from beginning to end
Give reasons to smile, share many laughs
Show there's no shame in blunders nor in gaffes
Help to make lemonade when life hands out lemons
A shoulder to cry on, a gift from the heavens
Not saying I'm all these, maybe just parts
You acknowledged my potential right from the start
Don't let fear drive, please hand over the wheel
Why pass up a chance at the potential Real Deal
'Actions speak louder than words' is so true
Raising the volume creating this sonnet for you
Together we're a home-run, or maybe a whiff
Don't want to waste time wondering What If...
