Not that I plan on cheating on my wife, but the following serves as warning as to why making the decision to stray away from home might not be a good idea. Now in another life — say, the much younger and not-so-much older me with a lot to lose — let’s just say that a brotha [...]
Arielle Loren is a wonderful writer, culture critique and friend. She’s also the creator of cutting edge digital media that breaks the barrier of our current standards of acceptance when it comes to Blacks, sexuality and feminism. CORSET is the go-to magazine for all things sexuality. We embrace human curiosity. We honor sensuality. We celebrate sex. And [...]
Last week after Pres. Obama’s made his “evolution” on gay marriage public, my initial thought was: great, now they’re going to say that Obama is gay, and all gay people are now going to vote for him because of it. You know, pretty much in the same way all black people voted for him in [...]
Games People Play The one absolute in the study of human behavior is that people do things because they get something out of it. People’s actions, however seemingly ridiculous, serve a purpose. I once had a therapist tell me I had to learn how to parent myself. It may not sound particularly earth-shattering, but I [...]
The Futility of Goal-Oriented Sex Too often sex resembles a contest. If there ever was a metaphor we need to do away with it has to be the “war” of the sexes. In a zero-sum society, where the mentality of “winner takes all” prevails, it’s no wonder that sex resembles a race: who can have [...]
I had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of my downstairs neighbor yesterday after having survived a busted pipe (mine) and a collapsed ceiling (his). While the circumstances weren’t the greatest and maybe we could have done this earlier, say, late Summer or early Fall, better late then never, right? Several frustrating incidences led up to yesterday, I haven’t [...]
This topic has so many taboos that even I, Queen of the Non-Taboo, clutches her pearls while poaching this subject. After all, women and men have been conditioned by religion and our male dominated society to all but ignore the subject. The resulting ignorance and old world Victorian morals causes us all to disregard something [...]
Wiki says: Emetophilia is a paraphilia in which an individual is aroused by vomiting or observing others vomit. When emetophiles put emetophilia into practice by actually vomiting, especially on a partner, it is called a Roman shower, after the commonly-supposed (but mistaken) belief in the frequent induction of vomiting at Roman feasts. Some emetophiles find the act of vomiting arousing; for them, [...]
I almost feel bad for having to add to the steaming pile of pungent articles that already surround this weeks internet sensation regarding a 14 year old girl who was filmed while giving head to a young man. Too bad, the young man wasn’t smart enough to keep their little interlude as a private matter [...]
…So quiet now. Soften yourself and listen. Connected and motionless.To the symphonic pulsing of our blood, the crash of an eyelid,the joyous trickle of a bead of sweat. Sooner or later, no matter how much you try to deny it, this moment will be your last. It’s the only punch line to this grand Cosmic Joke [...]
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. – Marianne Williamson, from: A Return to Love Every day, every waking moment, you desire to do many things, from hugging your lover to earning [...]
Okay, so I know you’re asking, “Um, RiPPa, why in the hell would you ask such a question like that when you know good and damn well that Zimmerman is racist?” Well, the truth is, I don’t know whether he is racist or not. The only thing I do know is that he is responsible [...]
I really don’t feel like saying much on this one. No need for me to go back into the old news about banks taking advantage of minorities — you know, people of color? — which subsequently lead to the ugliest economic meltdown in modern history. Yeah, no need to bring that up when the common [...]
As if Mitt Romney needed the pressure of having his white male privilege challenged by yet another minority — c’mon, you know it’s the only reason he demanded an apology from Barack Obama — in steps comedian George Lopez to pull his card. In a recent stand-up routine, Lopez shocked the world when he said, [...]
Oh great, black people are getting tasered and arrested for jaywalking now. Yep, we should all feel safer these days… There is some pretty saucy news coming out of Florida as new evidence released in the case of George Zimmerman for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. The big news of the day involves witness [...]
Before I get into this one, allow me to say that this morning’s episode of MSNBC’s Up w/ Chris Hayes was epic; it was quite possibly the best episode I’ve watched to date. That in itself says a lot since I’m a huge fan of the show; and, the truth is, the show offers a [...]
