Transcendent Sex Is Nothing New

Since the dawn of history, people have reported mystical and spiritual experiences during love making. Records of "sacred sex" may be found from all ancient civilizations including Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, and India. Thanks to several modern fictional works such as Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code, Transcendent Sex is coming into our modern day consciousness. So what is Transcendent Sex? According to prominent psychologist Dr. Jenny Wade, people engaged in Transcendent Sex may report the following occurrences to have taken place during or after sex:   Seeing visions Reliving past lives Sensing a Divine Presence Feeling sensations of "Bliss" Feeling One with everything Enlightenment   According to reports, to experience Transcendent sex, you don't h...

My Funniest Online Dating Horror Stories

Yeah, yeah. It's absolutely true that online dating worked out pretty well for me, ultimately. But having given it some thought, I wanted to come clean with you about something. It's not like every single date was a blissful stream of perfection. Sure, I met lots of great women and had a blast for several years...culminating in meeting Emily on Match.com. But along the way, especially at the beginning, I certainly encountered my share of sometimes hilarious and sometimes downright nightmarish situations. Here are the four most memorable ones: 1) Not What The Doctor Prescribed Very shortly after my divorce in 1992, I received a "spam" message in my inbox that I actually responded to. Believe it or not, I hadn't even heard of online dating before. This ad claimed I could meet the woman of m...

Soul Mates – Finding True Love And Commitment

Finding your true Soul Mate is something that many people hope to do. We all long for that one special person in our lives to make everything wonderful. We want to live the fairy-tale life and find our very own Prince or Princess Charming. We know that somehow that would make our lives complete. Finding that one true love, someone that we want to be with for a lifetime, can be a difficult task. We seem to find more frogs than princes while on that eternal quest for true love. Perhaps there are a few things that we have either overlooked, over-glamorized, or misunderstood. Think for a minute. What qualities do you think that the love of your life, that perfect Soul Mate, would possess? Would they love you unconditionally, put you on a pedestal, take away all of your tears, make you happy, m...

Casual Sex And “Self-Love” – Debunking The Myth

Many of us often hear cliché' phrases such as, "Love yourself", or "Live your best life", but what if these quotes were encouraging our narcissism instead of helping us truly deal with our traumas? To answer this, we must ask ourselves, "What is the difference between "love" and "respect". Is it self-love to be selfish or to engage in pleasurable behavior, or is self-love actually about setting boundaries and respecting your own sanity? In today's dating culture, we often find ourselves bewildered and confused in what appears to be a cycle of... "Talk. Spend time together. Develop attachment. Engage in physical actions (kissing, hugging, sex, etc..), spending more time together. Distance. Coldness. Break up." Why is this pattern so common in today's world? Is it because we have seemingl...

Yacht Parties Quickly Becoming The Highest Rated Social Event – According To Party Animals

Have you ever been to a yacht party? If you had, you'd have remembered it. At least that's what the latest polling data is showing for corporate event planners. Consider if you will, having a cocktail on a party yacht with people you know, like and work with - watching the Sun slowly set, looking out and seeing the islands and looking to the other side of the party yacht and seeing the shoreline in the distance. Just imagine that imprinting on your memory. This is something you will never forget, nor will anyone else on this short voyage either. Are sunsets really better when you are viewing them from a yacht? Yes, and a good captain knows how to maneuver his yacht just right, so you are watching the sunset over the islands and then sailing just past them as it sets. The pictures your gue...

I Dated A Dallas Cowboy!

And it almost brought the country club down. We should not have stopped there. It was Las Colinas in Irving, Texas, and I think my Dad paid hell afterwards. He never said a word. He was cool like that. But, later, I realized that in all the years I had been going there to swim or play tennis, I had never seen a black member. Jimmy Dean (sausage company) came up to me and whispered, "watch yourself girl," and I knew what he meant. Then, he shook my date's hand and gushed compliments, questions and information on him to the point that we both looked quizzically at each other. You see, my date was black and I was white, white, white. It wasn't until he was identified as one of the Doomsday Defense that the mind-numbing stares stopped. Women just pelted me with hateful looks until they reali...

Framed As Young And Sexy – Powerful Women Heading Up Dating Apps

People are swiping on dating apps in record numbers and roughly half of these individuals identify as women, which may be the reason why the dating app industry recently assigned the top leadership roles to women. Indeed, this past year, the most powerful dating apps in the world — Bumble and Tinder — were both run by women. Whitney Wolfe Herd is at Bumble while Renate Nyborg was running Tinder. As scholars who write about dating apps like Bumble and dating and feminism, we were interested to see how journalists reported on these two women leading the male-dominated, highly lucrative online dating industry and we wanted to compare that coverage with how the CEOs represented themselves on social media. We looked at last year’s top 50 news stories for each woman that came up in search res...

What Money Has To Do With Marriage

I must admit, I laughed out loud when they told me that at their first session with the pastor, they were each required to bring two items: a Bible and a copy of their personal credit reports. After I stopped chuckling, I realized the preacher was on to something. He knew that how we handle our finances says a lot--good, bad, or ugly- about who we are and how we handle commitment. And that's no laughing matter. Like it or not, money really does have meaning and power. How you handle or mishandle it, will speak volumes about you to your present or potential mate, much more persuasively than anything you could every say about yourself. Handling your money with care, discipline, and maturity builds a strong case that you are caring, disciplined, and mature person. Those, of course, are the...

When Women Love Married Women

A troubling situation that should not be judged too harshly, we are all capable of falling in holes with little room to escape. I will try to be gentle and look at all sides when exploring this subject, and also remembers that it is very different to affairs in heterosexual couples. It is important not to judge. Our society is so eager to humiliate, cast out, and punish us for our choices rather that teach openness, honesty, and the value of good intentions. We may all be a little healthier if we practice these principles on ourselves and each other. Women are built to form emotional bounds; it was an intricate part of our survival in prehistorical times. We connect emotionally to each other, due to women having more of the chemical known as oxytocine "the love hormone." That is why af...

Vanilla Or Chocolate

When in the Lady bars (really it should be just bar... but I am trying to remain hopefully), shopping in grocery stores, drinking coffee downtown and looking at the gorgeous women one thing comes to mind "Is she Vanilla or Chocolate?" We all have are own individual sexual style and being with a woman is so wonderful in itself it is hard to describe or put into words the magic of lesbian love-making. There are an infinite amount of ways lesbians can have sex, and we have a variety of women to experience sex with, bisexual, woman who enjoy sex with other women (no label necessary), queer women, and lesbian transgender. Here are some reasons why lady loving is so fantastic: The roles can be switched up, back and forth. We can be dominant and in control (ripping her clothes off against a wal...
