The Ugly Face of the Porn Industry

The adult entertainment industry, fondly called the porn industry, is a $10 billion a year industry. Yes, that’s right, $10 billion. There is no doubt that selling sex would be such a moneymaker; it is the world’s oldest profession. In the last two decades, pornography has become less taboo and more widely accepted by the general public. They might as well get used to it because it sure isn’t going anywhere! Continue reading

Parents Hate Your Beloved One?

First Testimonial

This September, my boyfriend and I will have been together for five years. It is a milestone. Well, maybe it is not quite a milestone, but it is for me. Maybe it is for him as well. And to tell you the truth, we almost did not make it this far. Continue reading

When Flirting is Just Fun

Flirting is one of the most enjoyable games there is. Don’t let anyone fool you – it is a game. Nothing serious is usually meant by one person flirting with another. Just because you get a wink or a tango, it doesn’t mean they want to have your children and share a mortgage. Part of the fun is that there is no danger of commitment. It’s like window shopping for sex – looking and comparing prices but not actually buying anything. Continue reading

Childhood Experiences And Adult Relationships

Our experiences as children inevitably have an impact on the relationships we form as adults – sometimes well into our mature years. A realization of this fact often can be the first step in mending a troubled relationship regardless of age. And for mature adults, it’s important to realize how our behavior can influence our children or even our grandchildren as we seek to raise new generations of psychologically and sexually healthy people.

He’s Worried about Her Ex…

About two months ago my girlfriend of two years lied to me about a “girls’ night out.” Rather than having a girls’ night out, she and a friend went to meet an ex-boyfriend of hers who now lives in a different state. I generally do not have a problem with her seeing ex-boyfriends. However, this particular ex has made several calls to her and asked her to get away for the weekend. She has refused his advances.

With a look of relief on her face, a mother of a three year old told me, “My son is too young for me to start giving him a lesson in sexuality.” I smile and respond, “You started the lesson three years ago.” Continue reading

Cho Seung Hoi

Cho Seung Hoi was a loner, a very sad individual who found himself unable to cope with the world around him and the people in it. Roommates at Virginian Tech consider themselves to be lucky to have been spared. No one really understood that their behavior and attitude towards this disturbed young man would ever evolve into such a bloody rampage, taking so many lives. Not being popular among students in such a big university is not unusual, not everyone can be in the spot light and other students had no idea this was affecting Cho so much. Cho Seung Hoi was not particularly chosen as being a bully’s victim during his time at the school; rather classmates did not know that a student had such violent behavior brewing just below the surface. Known for listening to Collective Soul’s Shine repeatedly day in and day out, he was thought to be a bit unusual and a loner. Not easily approachable, people wonder that even if things were different and he had an enormous group of close friends; would it have actually made a difference; would he mind have functioned properly? Continue reading

Angry At The World

While most people encounter anger in their lives, find a way to deal with it and then move on; there are others who experience the feeling of anger to a much stronger degree but they are completely unable to deal with it. They allow this anger to build up inside them until it consumes every facet of their being. What does someone who feels like an outsider to the rest of the world do when their inner anger reaches that point? They feel completely overwhelmed with their rage yet they are unable to talk to anyone because they also feel total seclusion. Continue reading
