Femmes Fatale: The Lesbian Porn Company that Made Herstory

 

The portrayal of lesbian sex has been a fixture of pornographic films since the dawn of the medium, when ‘girl on girl action’ dominated the frames of black and white stag films.
The only problem is, nobody got it right until the 1980s, with the dawn and birth of the woman-run Fatale Media. This was empowered, feminist, subversive erotica created by and for lesbians.

It’s only right that the next event in the “PinkLabel.tv Live Presents” virtual screening series, created and curated by prominent lesbian pornographer and PinkLabel.tv creator and curator Shine Louise Houston, is “Fatale Media’s Classic Dyke Porn” on Thursday, September 30, at 5 p.m. (PDT).

The event will be hosted by Houston with special guest Nan Kinney, Fatale co-founder, as they screen an array of films released by Fatale Media in the 1980s, ’90s and early ’00s.

“Thank God for Shine,” said Kinney, in an exclusive interview with The Feminist Sexpert. “If anybody was to tell me that, years after these movies were produced, they would be screened at virtual screenings and film festivals, I would have said they were crazy. The films have held up over time, and we can’t wait to show them to old and new audiences.”

And, many would say, thank God for Nan Kinney and her then partner, Debi Sundahl, who produced much of the first authentic lesbian erotica for a deprived audience; feeding their hungers and curiosities via an erotic film series, a live lesbian strip show performed exclusively for a female audience, and On Our Backs, the first–and to date–one of the few porn magazines to cater to–as its tagline read–the adventurous lesbian.

“Everything we did at Fatale was in a spirit of adventure,” said Kinney. “And we wanted to make porn that was right for lesbians.”

Aside from pictorials that featured women of all body types, erotic stories, and articles of interest to lesbians, On Our Backs featured advertisements for XXX lesbian porn films of every variety–and all produced by Fatale Media.

“Founded in 1984, Fatale Media produced explicit, high-quality videos geared to lesbians and other sexually adventurous souls,” a rep explained in a related news release. “Their production of lesbian erotic videos provided a hitherto absent service for the lesbian community. The company’s mission states: As women and homosexuals, lesbians deserve to have available to them quality sexual entertainment materials. These materials reflect the feminist right for control over our bodies, thereby promoting female sexual autonomy. These selections and excerpts showcase the excitement and importance of these now-classic dyke-produced adult films.”

(Right On!!!–Feminist Sexpert edit and interjection)

The virtual event’s schedule, noted the rep, includes butch/femme BDSM film “Shadows” (1985) directed by Debi Sundahl and Kinney; popular lesbian porn “Suburban Dykes” (1990) starring Nina Hartley, Pepper and Sharon Mitchell; “Safe is Desire” (1993), a feature film directed by Debi Sundahl showcasing San Francisco’s Safer Sex Sluts; and “Berlezk Live 2” (1993) directed by Kinney and Debbie Sundahl which documents “the first and longest-running lesbian striptease show, which played to women-only audiences in S.F. from 1984 to 1987 before expanding to twelve other cities in 1989.”

Each jewel in this curated collection represents a different take on the lesbian experience. Shadows starred a real-life couple who gave us an exciting glimpse into their private lives. Suburban Dykes starred a trio of porn legends offering a sexy, passionate tale of a couple in search of new thrills.

“Suburban Dykes is still screened at film festivals and has so many fans,” said Kinney. “The movie had humor and realism, which we tried to use in all of the movies.”

“Safe is Desire” was a vital film, presented at the dawn of the AIDS crisis, that presented and illustrated safe sex practices for lesbians.

“Some people didn’t want us to use the word safe in the title,” said Kinney. “But we were talking about safe sex techniques. And we needed to be. Eventually, the film ended up being shown in schools.”

“Berlezk 2” is a documentary depicting a San Francisco based female revue that brought lesbian fantasies to life for an all-female audience; often flipping the script by showcasing dancers dressed as brides, femme fatale screen sirens, drag kings, etc.

“These dancers were lesbians who wanted to perform for other women, who finally had their own strip club.” said Kenney.

Although varying in theme, these films all bore a vital and binding link.

“We got away from the old boys network of porn,” said Kenney. “This was something sexy and entertaining for women.”

Additional selections include “Take Her Down” (2003) directed by Barbara DeGenevieve, “presenting world-class champion oil wrestler Sondra Goodwin and the slippery depths of nude lesbian oil wrestling”; and “Full Load” (2003) directed by DeGenevieve depicting “transmasculine and lesbian sex scenes from the turn-of-the-century queer porn website ssspread.com, which were among some of the few available depictions of transmasculine sexuality.”

The Outfest UCLA Legacy Project for LGBT Moving Image Preservation provided access to the original masters, from which new HD digital files for this screening were created. And yep, a woman is behind that project as well.

“I’m so thankful to Jenni Olson for working to preserve the masters,” said Kinney.

The event is free to PinkLabel+ members; non-members may purchase a Film Pass for $7 (plus fees). The screenings are in English and open to those aged 18 and older.

Visit PinkLabel.tv for additional program details.

Follow Shine Louise Houston and PinkLabel.tv on Twitter for the latest updates.

Nan Kinney now is retired from the adult industry, but after some begging and pleading on The Feminist Sexpert’s part she did say this about the possibility of future Fatale productions.

“Never say never.”

And she has a message for those just beginning their sensual journey through the world of lesbian erotica.

“Explore,” she encouraged. “Try different sites, images and writings until you find what you like. And ask a friend.”

Or The Feminist Sexpert. Because thanks to the efforts of legendary trailblazers like Nan Kenney, I walk the trails they blazed.

10 Different types of Cheaters: Why People Cheat

Photo by RODNAE Productions from Pexels

Who Cheats and Why?

Back in 2009, Loveology University conducted a study on why people cheat. The study included 1,055 men and women who completed a 12-question Internet survey on cheating designed and analyzed by Dr. Leanna Wolfe, Loveology University’s Director of Research. Participation was voluntary; no financial compensation was offered. Relative to recent random sample surveys on cheating, our survey attracted a very large percentage of people who had participated in the cheating triangle (being a cheater, cheated upon and/or a secret lover.)

The Results?

Random sample surveys report about 22% of married men and 14% of married women cheat while 67% of our male respondents and 59% of our female respondents who were either partnered or married report having cheated. Ultimately our survey provides a look into the beliefs and practices of cheaters and their secret lovers.

Most Significant Findings Included

• Females are most likely to cheat when they are younger (24-45) and males are most likely to cheat when they are older (36-55).
• Males are more likely to cheat and females are more likely to report being cheated on.
• 72% of people who cheat have been cheated on.
• Younger cheaters (18-35) are most likely to cheat for attention.
• Cheaters over 36 are most likely to cheat in pursuit of sexual variety.
• Males seek the satisfaction of sexual desires and fantasies through cheating, while older females (over 56), especially, cheat for companionship.
• Males enjoy their cheating experiences more than females do; females often feel guilty and concerned about the man’s spouse/partner.
• Older males (over 56) are most likely to consider a sexless marriage (54%) and a spouse’s inability to have sex for medical reasons (43%) acceptable reasons for cheating.
• Females, who have been cheated on, are more troubled by activities that engender an emotional connection than males who have been cheated on.
• Males and those over 36 are most likely to regard cheating as a means to feel more alive.
• Excitement is more important to cheating males (58%) than cheating females (44%).
• Females and those under 35 are most likely to believe that people cheat because they can get away with it.
• The majority of cheaters between 18-23 (54.4%) and females (52.2%) contend that there are no acceptable reasons for cheating

The Loveologist Guide to Understanding Cheating

There are many different types of cheating from a quickie one night stand, emotional
phone or cyber-cheating, and a secret romance or compulsive sex addiction, but all of them provide the excitement of new sexual heights that result in greater self-confidence
for the cheater. All the different types of cheating are based upon “Fear” or “Ego.”

The Fear Based Cheater

Fear based cheaters cheat due to underlying emotions of fear. These include:

1 – Fear of Rejection

This cheater may be in love with their partner, but cheats because they need approval from others to drive their sexual desires. One partner is not enough for them emotionally, so they constantly flirt and put themselves into tempting situations that they hope will lead to sex.

2 – Fear of Intimacy

This cheater is so afraid of getting hurt that they won’t allow any feelings of love or attachment. They may say “I love you,” but they don’t mean it and use sex as a justification to avoid love and intimacy.

3 – Fear of Being Trapped

This cheater feels resentful towards their partner for trapping them into a commitment. They cheat with anyone anywhere and often end up hurting everyone.

4 – Fear of Self-Worth

This cheater has such low self-esteem that they don’t believe there is any emotional attachment to their partner, ultimately believing they can find love in all the wrong places.

5 – Fear of Power

This cheater has a fear of losing their power, whether it’s based on fame or fortune, they abuse their power and cheat to make themselves feel superior to others. They feel an entitlement to have sex with whoever they want and deny any wrong doing even when caught.

The Ego Based Cheater

Virtually every successful person has a strong ego that’s fed by his or her success and
they are constantly approached by attractive people willing to have sex with them. The
temptation becomes so great that it can be surprising when such men and women
DON’T act on their ego impulses at least once.

6 – Ego of Success

This cheater uses their success and power to seduce lovers whether it is a celebrity or CEO of a company, he or she often feels entitled to have sex. They know that their position is a natural aphrodisiac so there are always plenty of willing volunteers. Success doesn’t always breed cheaters, but there are many who will take advantage without any feelings of guilt.

7 – Ego of Appearance

This cheater needs to feel attractive and hunts for lovers who will stroke and feed their physical appearance ego. When the opportunity does arise, the thrill of acceptance is difficult for them to resist. They stay with a lover as long as their egos keep swelling and often have a stable of lovers.

8 – Ego of Diversity

This cheater wants to have sex with as many people as possible as long as it’s more sex, different sex, new sex with a wide variety of partners. Every time they bed a new conquest, it boosts their ego and many of them actually keep a score card, take pictures or videos. When they need an ego boost, they can look at their memorabilia or go hunting.

9 – Ego of Opportunity

This cheater is spontaneous and wants to try new sexual activities their partner refuses. Their ego swells every time they get to live out a new fantasy and their attitude is that what their partner doesn’t know won’t hurt them.

10 – Ego of Love

This cheater needs to feel like they are loved emotionally even more than being physically or sexually irresistible. Their ego is fragile and even when they have a loving partner; it’s not enough for them to be loved by one person, but many. In their mind, this is what gives this cheater value.

Conclusion: Why Do People Cheat?

The rationale behind the different types of cheating happens because the cheater has a
personal coping pattern of dealing with their own shortcomings. The cheater’s behavior
has nothing to do with their partner, but the good news is that cheaters can change, but
only if and when they are ready.

The Feminist Sexpert Interviews Erika Lust

From the Erika Lust film Wanderlust, credit goes to Kristy

A true pioneer and creative leader in the world of feminist porn, director Erika Lust released her first film in 2004 and hasn’t slowed down since–directing a vast series of creative, ethically produced XXX features that also happen to be smoking hot. She has won more than 50 industry awards for her artistic interpretations of the female gaze, and expanded her empire to include room for four content sites and ample creative opportunities for people of all genders, colors and sexualities to express their message and vision. And now, Erika Lust brings us something Else.

Else Cinema is a pioneering softcore channel that showcases romance and sensuality in a highly artistic filmed forum.

The Feminist Sexpert is honored to interview one of her greatest inspirations and role models: Erika Lust.

Erika Lust_Portrait_Credits_Monica Figueras.



FS: Erika Lust, in your auspicious career as an erotic film director, you’ve covered a great deal of territory in terms of film types and genres–and now, you’re exploring the softcore realm with Else. What inspired you to host a special channel specifically for softcore films?

EL: “Not everyone wants to, or needs to see the more explicit sex scenes. Some people are very visual and others prefer to use their own imagination. There are many different ways to be sexual and it doesn’t always include intercourse, some don’t need any visual stimulation at all! Else Cinema is for the many fans of my work who want to experience sex and sexuality from a different perspective. It’s about engaging all your senses, and more about how sex feels rather than how it looks.

On this same line, I am about to launch my brand new audio erotica content at Else Cinema! Created hand by hand with BLAZE, I wanted for each and every story of the Else Cinema Audio Erotica to be sex positive, safe, consensual, and inclusive – just as much as the films. I see audio erotica as a conscious, empowering, and above all personal way to consume erotica and I hoped to bring the high standards of our audiovisual storytelling to the world of audio sex stories. Else Cinema Audio Erotica will be available starting from August and will be for free for premium subscribers.”

FS: As a softcore fan myself, I love the genre because it tends to feature more tenderness and more of a story than hardcore. What challenges does this pose to you as a filmmaker? And do you feel that softcore can be more romantic and respectful in content, for both performers and viewers?

EL: “I’ve always paid attention to make sure to capture tenderness and romance and, in general, chemistry. Real connection is sexy! But, being sex positive also means understanding that not everyone is turned on by the same thing and that, above all, there are no better sexual experiences than others, as long as they are based on consent.

I personally don’t believe that hardcore porn is necessarily less respectful or has less of a story than softcore. We can have consensual and respectful sexual relationships whether they are romantic, kinky, or anything in between! This is what I strive to show through all my sites XConfessions, Lust Cinema, and Else Cinema; that no matter what the type of sex, what really matters is equal pleasure, honest communication, and mutual consent.”

FS: Else also features films from other directors, an auspicious list of feminist directors that are widely known. How did you select the films?

EL: “It’s important for me to work only with directors who have the same values and create ethical content across all my platforms. I’ve been lucky enough to work with some amazing directors over the years so it’s easy to find new work within this indie erotica community. With the help of my team, I personally handpick each month new films to license which are coming from a growing movement of directors who are changing the industry from within, by positively portraying human sexuality and shaping a relevant change in gender perceptions.”

FS: How did you plan the categories of Else films, as I know that the themes are diverse.

EL: “When deciding on the categories we were thinking of how people search for movies and also what are the most popular fantasies. The categories are representative of the variety of content Else Cinema provides.”

FS: Erika, we have to have a word about your kilt movie. For more years than I can count, I myself have purchased the men in kilts calendar each and every year. Thank you for this movie–what inspired it?

EL: “As all of the films on XConfessions it was inspired by a confession sent in by a fan. I had such a good time filming this movie on a hot summer day! It’s always interesting to read the confessions people send in because you realize that almost anything can be sexy or a creative inspiration. I think many of us have wondered what is under those kilts… I love playing with those fantasies and making them come to life.”

FS: Would you like to give updates on your other lines, like XConfessions and Lust Cinema?

EL: “I recently released my first South Asian inspired short film for XConfessions, The Saree Shop, which I co-directed with none other than acclaimed performer and sex educator Kali Sudhra! It was an amazing experience making this and I learnt a lot about the saree and South Asian traditions from Kali and Kajal, which I’m forever grateful for. I urge you to watch the behind the scenes video and Kajal’s interview video to hear more about their own experiences.

As for Lust Cinema, we just released the first episode of season 2 of Primary – an original series directed by our Lust Cinema exclusive contract director Casey Calvert. Following the success of the first season, Primary 2 continues to develop the stories of two non-monogamous couples’ journeys of love and lust. It’s a beautifully shot inside look at the highs and lows of modern day relationships through the lens of polyamorous millennials.

Finally, I would also encourage you to check out my Lust Zine as well. The zine is uncensored, meaning that guest writers and myself cover everything related to sex, kink, sexuality, intimacy, filmmaking, feminism and the adult industry… totally uncensored.”

FS: No question here–I just want to thank you for being a pioneer and a continuing inspiration for women in the erotic film industry–and for always being so supportive of other women in the industry, myself included. I know we’ll talk again soon.:)

EL: “Thank you for reaching out and for watching my films!”

Buck Angel (born June 5, 1962) is an American Adult film actor, producer, sex educator, and motivational speaker. He is the founder of the media production company Buck Angel Entertainment. A transsexual man, he received the 2007 AVAN Award as Transsexual Performer of the Year; he now works as an advocate, educator, lecturer, and writer. Angel served on the Board of Directors of the Woodhull Freedom Foundation from 2010 to 2016; the foundation works to affirm sexual freedom as a fundamental human right through advocacy and education. Angel’s pornographic content was one of the building blocks that set the foundation for his future educational demonstrations. He broadened the industry’s, along with its viewers’, perception of sexuality and gender by popularizing trans male porn. He was unaware of the positive effects that he had on the community until after a few years into his work. With passing time, his work in porn evolved into advocacy.

Angel wanted individuals to:

  1. “Comprehend the fact that one’s genitals do not define your gender, nor who you are as a person.”
  2. “Learn how to acknowledge, affirm, and deal with your own individual gender and sexuality, regardless of identity.”
  3. “Have the ability to let go of social constructs in order to become more comfortable and self-accepting.”

Top 10 Reasons Why Men Cheat

Photo by RODNAE Productions from Pexels

Why Do Men Cheat?

Let’s find out…

1. Variety is the number one reason men cheat even if their partner is beautiful,
sexy, smart, nurturing and his ultimate fantasy woman. He may still want to have
sex with someone completely different. You can blame it on the biological
programming that makes a man’s brain crave sexual variety or his primitive
instinct to go hunting, but you cannot change it if he wants variety.

2. His Ego swells when stroked by an attractive stranger. He loves the thrill of the
chase and the hunt before the conquest that feeds his masculine ego especially
when it’s been neglected. A man thrives on praise and compliments but if he
doesn’t get them from his partner, he’s an easy target for a loose lover.

3. Fantasies with lovers who are willing to make all of his wildest sexual fantasies
come true from role-playing, domination, sex slave, golden showers, swallowing,
anal and group sex. He may be too ashamed to share his fantasy with his partner
for fear of rejection, judgment or even ridicule.

4. Boredom is a common reason that men cheat, especially if his partner has let
herself go, is too lazy to make herself attractive for him or has put on too much
weight. For a married man who is unhappy at home, cheating is cheaper and
easier than getting a divorce. For an unmarried man, cheating is easier than
confronting his partner because he doesn’t find her desirable.

5. Emotional Connection that he is not getting at home may motivate him to cheat
with a co-worker who listens to him, nurtures him, dominates him, babies him or
just make him feel good about himself when he is with her. That’s why many men
cheat with secretaries or someone close to them at work, apart from the fact that
it’s also very convenient.

6. Revenge when a man finds out his partner has been cheating on him, cheating
on her is the quickest way to heal his hurt feelings. Instead of arguing, seeking
professional counseling or forgiving his partner, he would rather have angry sex
with a one night stand or several depending on how easy it is for him to get laid.

7. Better Sex and more sex with someone who is willing to do the things he wants
to fulfill his sexual needs. Oral sex and anal sex are top contenders, so if he has
a disinterested partner who rejects his advances or won’t try to please him, then
he is going to look elsewhere until he finds someone who likes the same sexual
activities he does.

8. Addiction to love, romance or sex can be an excuse men will use to get a free
pass when they are in a relationship and they don’t know how to get out.
Whether it’s for financial reasons or because of the children, he chooses to cheat
with as many women as he can for fear that he may be missing out on love,
romance and sex, but he is too chicken to be honest with his partner. He would
rather be labeled with a disease or an addiction than face his own insecurities.

9. For Fun to see if the grass is greener on the other side. He is comparison
shopping and having fun being sneaky to see if he can get away with cheating. If
he gets away with it the first time, he may keep doing it unless his cheating
experiences are disappointing or too expensive.

10. Stress and anxiety about work, health, family and finances can lead to cheating
as a quick fix. This may seem like an unlikely form of stress management, but to
a man with a high sex drive, it can be the best form of stress release especially
with someone who he has no strings attached.

Satisfying Her in and Out of the Bedroom

Photo by Myicahel Tamburini from Pexels

What Women Want

If you want to get started pleasing your woman in and out of the bedroom, try these sexy tips!

• Give unexpected massages, hair stroking or other physical affection
• Only if sincere, tell her how much she means to you during lovemaking
• Compliment her with “just because” notes or phone calls
• Plan romantic evenings that will fill her with anticipation of what is to come
• Lavish her with oral sex and let her climax first
• Share romantic feelings
• Experiment with role-playing

However, if you want to really satisfy your woman and protect your relationship, read on
for more details.

It’s no secret that women are known for being sensitive and more in touch with their
emotions than men. However, they still place much importance on intimacy, the physical
characteristics of their significant others, as well as themselves, and sexual gratification.
There are many important qualities that women look for whether it be in bed or simply in
a lover. Below are some of the most common qualities to read over and make note of
how many you have and how many you can improve after reading through this e-book.

Sex is an art that requires awareness and knowledge of a woman’s needs and desires. I
will share just what it takes to please a woman in every way possible and will give you
the basic tools to acquire more information about women and what they want
in bed.

What Women Look for In A Lover

Listed below are many things that a woman wants in a lover:

  • A Lover who communicate openly
  • A Lover who take initiative
  • A Lover who can provide undivided attention
  • A Creative and inquiring lover
  • A Sexually, emotionally, and mentally intimate lover
  • A Lover who care about their appearance from their clothing to their scent
  • A Lover who can read their desired communication style (i.e. verbal or visual)
  • A Lover who finds pleasure in satisfying their partner
  • A Confident and courageous lover
  • A Lover who know the art of kissing and the techniques of foreplay
  • A Lover who know exactly where her erogenous zones are located
  • A Lover with the ability to control their ejaculation to lengthen their love making
  • A Lover willing to provide a sensual massage without any agenda
  • A Lover who know how to give positive feedback as well as receive it
  • A Lover who enjoy giving women what they want in bed as well as what they want outside of bed.

Be More Sexy Outside of the Bedroom

Make your lover the center of your attention. Turn off the television, radio, computer or
any other distractions if you don’t want to turn off your woman. Bring home little trinkets
for no special reason. A single flower or some chocolates will let her know that you were
thinking about her.

You can also do a lot to set the mood for a woman by stimulating all five of her senses.

Some ways you might do this include:

  • Listen to music, initiate love-talk before, during and after you make love.
  • Let her get olfactory cues from flowers, incense, scented candles and cologne.
  • Add sensual ornaments, pillows and accessories to your bedroom.
  • Create new touches with oils, lotions and powders.
  • Consider giving her satin sheets and silk lingerie.
  • Order in a gourmet dinner or buy favorite snacks and drinks (never make love on an empty stomach).
  • Let your lover know that she’s making a positive difference in your life. And show her
    how much you appreciate her by making her breakfast in bed. Write her love letters.
  • Give her lots of compliments; physical, emotional and appreciative ones.
  • You can’t really get too romantic or too old-fashioned when it comes to winning a
    woman’s heart. Take her on romantic walks or surprise her with a picnic lunch and you
    can’t go wrong. Always kiss her goodbye and give her a big welcome home. Don’t miss
    an opportunity to kiss her at unexpected times in unexpected places.
  • Let her know what you love about her the most. Phone her in the middle of the day just
    because you want to hear her voice. Take her on a fantasy date once a week. Record a
    message of love for her to listen to at home or in the car.

In the Bedroom Try These Tips!

  • Learn how to give your lover a slow, sensual massage. Such a time is also good for helping you discover all of her erogenous zones from her toes to the top of her head. Simply ask her to rate your caresses and kisses from 1 to 10 and remember that she is not rating you, but her erogenous zones. Make a mental note of where key spots are that she rates 8 and above.
  • Learn how to undress a woman slowly and appreciate every part of her skin before
    making love to her. Sex should not be a race. Go slowly and make love to each part of
    her. Be gentle and touch her so lightly it will leave her wanting more.
  • Try using ice, whipped cream or strawberry jam for foreplay. The key is to build sexual
    anticipation and take her slowly toward her orgasm. And always wait to have your
    orgasm last (more on how to prolong your ability to extend this time in a moment).

Women Want Intimacy

To better understand what a woman needs or wants, it is imperative to understand the
importance of intimacy. It is often assumed that intimacy is a single aspect of a
relationship, e.g. the physical part. People mistake intimacy in this way so having sex
automatically would mean two people were intimate. Although there is some truth
behind the physical perspective, alone it doesn’t encompass the full range of emotional,
intellectual and spiritual intimacies

What is intimacy?

Let’s start by breaking down the word intimacy and look at it phonetically. Into sounds very inviting doesn’t it? When you get into something, it means you really want to be there, right? What about Me See? You’re saying “This is ME. SEE me, all of me, because I have nothing to hide.” It’s like having a long zipper from your head to your toes, opening it and saying “Here I am.” Intimacy is about getting rid of protective layers and facades by revealing yourself to someone you truly love.

Intimacy is not a wild, rapid passion, but a slow burning passion. Intimacy doesn’t have to be serious; it can be fun like a Monopoly game. Your goal in Monopoly is to own expensive hotels on Park Place, but you can’t do that until you have purchased some less expensive properties on Baltic Ave.

It’s the same with intimacy. Your goal is to connect with someone mentally, emotionally and sexually, but you have to work your way up to it. You can do so by taking your time, getting to know your partner, exploring non-sexual areas and work up to primary erogenous zones.

For intimacy you need to be 100% present and enjoy the journey as much as
the destination.

When a woman feels intimate with her partner, she feels safe and she will
surrender to ultimate pleasure and satisfaction without any inhibitions.

It is beneficial to first grasp the meaning of intimacy and discover all five approaches to
helping free your inhibitions and soon achieving it. With that knowledge, you can
improve your communication also.

Intimate Communication

Communication is a process. To communicate effectively with your partner means
listening, interpreting and providing feedback. This will bring you closer to any partner.

Your most important sex organ isn’t between your legs but rather between your ears. This is where all sexual behavior begins. It’s what you do with it that counts. Use it, or lose out on having all the sex you’d like.

More than a few lovers have discovered that a whispered suggestion, especially when
it is in the ear of a woman, can be very arousing. Learn what the “secret password” to
your gal is and you will make your life more entertaining and be started on the road that
will lead to her satisfaction, adoration, and loyalty as well.

Tip 10 Signs Your Man is Cheating

Understanding Cheating by Dr Ava Cadell

Considering that humans are a non-monogamous species, modern Western society’s
expectations regarding relationship fidelity can be especially hard for men. They are
biologically wired to respond to variety and to sow their seed in as many places as
possible, and by places I mean between women’s legs☺

When Romeo and Juliet conveyed their dying love for each other (literally), most people
didn’t live beyond middle age. Now with the advent of modern medicine and sanitation,
our lifespan has been extended, making it less and less likely for long-term couples to
remain monogamous; men’s need for sexual variety is so understood that a huge porn
industry has emerged. And when porn isn’t enough, well then there’s cheating.

The Top 10 tell-tale signs your man is cheating include:

1. He starts spending less time with you, but always comes up with last minute
excuses that he has to work late or take sudden trips out of town.

2. He no longer gives you long juicy kisses, but replaces them with short pecks on
your lips or face.

3. He starts requesting that you change things about your body such as shaving
your pubes.

4. He makes noticeable changes to his physical appearance such as adding
highlights to his hair or going on a diet and working out regularly.

5. Inside his car is unfamiliar with a new radio station and the passenger seat has
been changed, so you know someone else has been sitting in your seat.

6. His aroma is different because he is now wearing a new cologne or you can
smell another woman’s perfume that has rubbed off on him.

7. He is constantly on his cell phone texting, talking in code or he leaves the room
whenever it rings.

8. He spends more time with his computer than he does with you, especially at
night when you go to bed.

9. He says that he doesn’t have enough money to buy you the things that you need
because he is short of cash.

10. He suddenly starts bringing you little trinkets and acts uncharacteristically nice to
you without any explanation.

How Do I Naturally Maintain a Healthy pH Balance?

Tatyannah King

Question of the day:

“I consider myself to have a high maintenance vagina. ANYTHING throws off my pH balance. I’m not a fan of using mainstream vaginal health products though. Do you have any suggestions on simple methods for vaginal upkeep?”

Vaginal pH concerns are completely understandable and there are a handful of factors that can throw it off from semen and your menstrual cycle to toxic ingredients in vulva care products. Luckily my personal methods for vaginal upkeep are simple, and I’m more than happy to share them with you.

First and foremost, I’ve learned that one of the best things I can do for my vulva is to let it breathe. Go commando when you’re sleeping or throughout the day if you’re comfortable with that. Also, invest in 100% cotton underwear. I know that “granny panties” aren’t the sexiest, but try to avoid wearing underwear with nylon material or other man-made fibers because they can cause irritation. Also, avoid wearing tight-fitted jeans or thongs.

Next, pure cranberry juice has worked wonders for me and it has the potential to be your best friend too! Cranberries contain powerful acidic compounds to fight bacteria, and a 2012 study published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews indicated that cranberry juice slightly decreased the number of symptomatic UTIs over a 12 month period, particularly for women with recurrent UTIs. However, there is little to no further research on the subject, so you’ll have to do some experimenting to figure out if this works for you.

Also, be cognizant of the period products you use. I usually wear the L. Product’s Chlorine Free pads. They’re made with organic cotton and don’t include any pesticides, fragrances, or dyes in the material. I usually find them at any local Target, but they might be available in similar stores as well.

Other simple methods for keeping your pH balance include:

  • Never washing with vaginal hygiene products or scented items. This includes douches, scented soaps, and vaginal sprays. You’ll also want to avoid bubble baths as much as possible if you’re more prone to UTIs because most bubble baths have a pH of 9-10 whereas the typical pH of a vagina is between 4 and 4.5.
  • Using a condom during sex. pH levels of semen are higher than the pH levels of vaginas, which can mess with the growth of healthy bacteria.
  • Maintaining a healthy diet. Following a balanced, nutritious diet and drinking plenty of fluids are both key to vaginal and overall physical health.
  • Regularly checking in with your OB-GYN. Stay up to date with your physical health by consistently speaking with a medical professional.

Keep your vagina happy!

The Secrets of Everlasting Love & Successful Relationships

Photo by Ketut Subiyanto from Pexels

The Power of Everlasting Love

Love is a give-give proposition, and everlasting love becomes 100% give on each side. The nature of love is to pour out, it wants to give. Love is being flexible. Couples who have achieved everlasting love don’t tuck each other away in an ivory tower until it is convenient to be together. I know of one sad pair who only made love at 4 o’clock on Sunday afternoons because it suited one spouse’s schedule. Do you think they stayed together?

Eventually one began to play around on the other until it looked as though infidelity broke up their marriage. When two people are bound by everlasting love, they care enough
to consider each other’s needs and bend a little. To paraphrase a well-known allegory, the trees that can bow with the strongest breeze will survive any storm.

What love is not.

Love is not handed to you on a silver platter. It is not automatic. If it were, it wouldn’t be love. The very nature of love is that we grow into it. Love has a high value because it is an investment.

Love is not to be taken for granted. All too many couples give up trying when they have won each other; that’s the very time to continue courting in new ways. Love is a precious gift that we earn, and anything we earn is all the more dear to us. You would not take a new car for granted; no, you keep up the maintenance for as long as the car lasts. Your everlasting love will need the same upkeep if you don’t want to lose it.

Love is not a fleeting moment. It is not something you have one day and lose the next. We quest so for love because of its enduring quality and its ability to grow if nourished.

The Ingredients of Everlasting Love.

Like a good soup, love is made of many ingredients that blend just right. No one single element can serve as the whole meal. And it’s hard to find a good soup recipe, isn’t it? It needs special spices and maybe an unusual ingredient or two, like lotus root or exotic mushrooms. Even everyday potato soup has carrots, onions, garlic, salt; just the
right seasonings.

Let’s look at the ingredients in our love-potion soup. If you went to a sorcerer to help you find everlasting love, you would ask the magician to cook up the following:

Friendship.

If you cannot rely on the person you love, then that person is not worthy of your love. And if your partner cannot count on you, you are not in everlasting love. Friendship means being able to say anything to your partner because you have that ease of “best buddies”. Best friends never take advantage of each other; they are there to help one another.
Any good partnership includes the same love you have for a best friend.

Trust.

I am fond of an old — and trusted — axiom, that goes like this: “People who cannot trust should not be trusted”.

Distrusting people are often deceitful. I have found this to be a reliable measuring stick on the trust issue. But my rule-of-thumb is to give people the benefit of the doubt unless they prove otherwise. You cannot truly be connected to someone you cannot trust. That warm, mellow feeling we experience when we trust each other is a large part of everlasting love. Peace-of-mind in a relationship is vital to its stamina. And trust, like anything worthwhile, is something we earn over time, gradually.

Respect.

As with trust, respect must be earned as well. It isn’t automatic, although the seedlings of it may be there in the beginning of your relationship. Whether it can grow and blossom will determine the depth of your involvement. Respect can also diminish over time, and it is one of the most common reasons for ending a relationship. You must also respect yourself
before someone else will respect you.

Passion.

Yes, that all-consuming feeling of pure lust, euphoric, overwhelming, distracting, beautiful thing we call passion can be spontaneous or it can come on gradually, too. Passion either grows or it dissipates. Passion grows when you can be uninhibited with each other. And you break down any barriers by communicating. Passion fades when you have resentment,
anger or contempt for your partner. Once again, here is an area that cannot be neglected or taken for granted in a relationship. Keep it alive by constantly creating new and exciting things to do together.

Communication.

You cannot feel safe in a relationship without communication. You have to know where you stand, and you owe it to your partner to tell him or her the same. Knowing each other is the prerequisite to happiness in all areas. Communication is like that magic spice that brings out the flavor of all the other ingredients. Hey, that includes sex! Let your partner know it is safe to talk about fantasies and to explore them. Good communication can unleash strong creative energy between you and your partner. And with good communication, you can let your hair down and talk about anything. Not only does it enhance your partnership, it takes a big chunk out of everyday stress.

Love.

Growing with the power of love. Love heals. It can heal you, and it can heal your partner. Then the two of you together are like a new being, free to experience the present and future in all its possibilities, unhampered by the wounds of past relationships. Let’s take a closer look at three domains of love.

Self love.

The love of self is not conceit; conceit can be a lack of self-love or delusion about one’s self in relation to others. I like what spiritual author Deepak Chopra says about love, because it fits into the meaning of loving and valuing one’s self and self- worth: “You know that you have fully experienced love when you turn into love.” You become love by first loving yourself.

What we often don’t realize is that no reason exists for not loving yourself. It ultimately doesn’t matter what you were told as a child by others. You can work through your past and let go of it or you can hang on to it. But on your deathbed, it will be how much you have loved yourself and others that counts.

Self-love issues account for crime, misery, poverty. No one should be without his or her own love. You are first your own best friend and your own support. You couldn’t do anything without your own love and support to back you up.

It pays to take your needs seriously. Do special things for yourself that you may have postponed until you are in a relationship. Buy yourself candy or special treats. Give yourself a bubble bath each day, go to the beach, rent classic movies, or get a massage. Get to know you and how to pamper you. Any love you experience beyond that will only be greater. You must love and care enough about yourself to begin healing your own wounds.

Then the right partner can work together with you on bringing out more of your own love, just for you.

Loving your partner.

When you have invested in you and in loving yourself more, you have that commodity to bring to a relationship. Loving your partner is ongoing. Everlasting love means continuing to demonstrate your affection and devotion from day one until the end of time. Show each other that love is the meaning of life. One young man, a college student named Bob, said to his girlfriend Anne: “You know I love you, you shouldn’t have to be told.” To the contrary, you and your partner cannot tell each other often enough how much you care for each other. It has taken Bob a few months to realize that love is about expression: saying it, showing it, acting it out. One of the best ways to communicate love is through giving
emotional and appreciative compliments.

Loving each other.

Everlasting love is a give-give relationship. And two givers have to be two receivers, also. If two “takers” enter a union, they will only drag each other down and beat each other up. And a “taker/giver” union won’t last either. It may work for a while, but eventually the giver will run dry and resent not having his or her needs met as well. But two givers going into a relationship will have unity. They know the balance of giving and receiving. Take something as simple as giving a compliment. Compliments are vital in a relationship. It can make a world of difference in your day when your partner looks at you and says: “I desire you as much as the day I met you.”

And giving is an ongoing thing. For instance, it can be just as important to give each other trinkets, for no particular reason, than it is to lavish your partner on holidays, anniversaries or birthdays. People love to be surprised, especially with little things that mean so much. One friend of mine collects unusual rocks for a garden the way some people grow flowers. She loves it when her husband brings home a crystal or mineral for her collection, especially if he takes the time to learn something about it. Most important of all, giving of your time to each other has a priceless value on it. Our allotted time on this planet is so precious.

And when that time runs out and we are ready to move on to the next dimension, it is the memories we have created here on earth that we will be thinking about. It is never too late to begin creating more loving memories with the people we care most about. At the end
of your life, you won’t be thinking about your bank account, the stock market, or business competition. But you will want to hold loving relationships and their memories close to you.

“Should I Have a Threesome?”

Tatyannah King

Question of the day:

Hi Taty! Here’s my question. My boyfriend and I have a fantasy about having a threesome, but I worry that if we really did it, it might create jealousy, or even break up our relationship. On the other hand, my boyfriend has been bugging me to do it. And, I have a girlfriend who is very keen to play with us. What should I do? Take a chance on a 3-way romance? Thanks <3

I want to start off by saying that I think it’s great that you’re open to threesomes! Sometimes they have a bad connotation, but I personally think that they could be good for anyone who enjoys sexual novelty. And you’re not alone in being curious about it. Sex researcher Dr. Justin Lehmiller surveyed 4,175 Americans from all 50 states about their sexual fantasies for his book Tell Me What You Want and discovered that “having a threesome” was the most popular sexual fantasy among participants.

As for you and your boyfriend, be upfront about your expectations because what you want out of a threesome may not be what your boyfriend expects out of it. 

Consider the dynamic of this sexual fantasy by answering the following questions:

  1. Do you want to be the center of attention during the threesome? 
  2. Should all people be equally as involved or are there some acts that are off-limits between your boyfriend and your friend? 
  3. How well does your boyfriend know your friend? Would it be ideal for all of you to hang out together in a casual setting first before the clothes come off or do you prefer to keep things more transactional?
  4. Are you all comfortable with having a conversation about your STI status and feelings concerning the use of barrier methods during the threesome?
  5. What about after-care? Let’s play devil’s advocate for a second and assume that you will get jealous. How would you want your boyfriend to cater to your needs emotionally afterward? How would you want your friend to respond? 

Another thing to consider is testing the waters before actually going for it completely. I personally used to be reluctant about threesomes and group sex until I accidentally went to an orgy party after the AVN expo this year. Though I didn’t participate, being enthralled by all that sexual energy in the room was an unforgettable experience and changed my past negative outlook on threesomes and group sex into a positive one.

Ultimately, I think a threesome is worth exploring as long as you’ve given it enough thought and you’re 100% sure it’s what you want to do.
