Feminism: Estrogen power!!!

"Yes, I am a feminist, but I do not hate men. "

First of all, being a feminist does NOT mean that you are a man-hater. If you were a man-hater, you would very simply call yourself a man-hater, and not a feminist. Simply hating men does not turn you into a feminist, or vice versa. True, there are many women who hate men, and some of these women tend to call themselves feminists. There are feminists that do hate men, but they do so because of their own personal reasons, and do not represent feminism as it stands. Often men tend to get defensive when they meet a woman who calls herself a feminist. There is really no reason to. A feminist does not want to put men down in order to pull women up. What she wants is to create awareness of the fact that women deserve equal rights and opportunity as men.

Man Hater Vs. Feminist (Part 1)

Why is it that man-haters are inclined to be considered of as feminists? They are two solely distinct entities. Let’s first tackle what man hater is.

If you tell people that you are a feminist, and most will assume that you are a man hater.

First of all, let us define man hater. It is simply hatred for boys, or misandry. The counterpart is called misogyny, the hatred of women or girls.

Can Ex-lovers Be Good Friends?

In relationships, couples tend to pride themselves on being able to talk about anything and everything. The measure of a healthy relationship is often based on honesty, trust, and how comfortable we feel discussing ourselves, our feelings, hopes, and goals. However, there are few topics that can strike more fear and tension into an otherwise blissful union than the opening of the ex-files.

Chances are, you have had lovers before. By adulthood, most of us have a couple of failed bonds under our belts, and reasoning would pursue that our present partners have had the same. Although we are deliberately mindful of this item, most population would rather not recognize any kind about it. If we put a label and a face to the ex of this someone who is now the center of our world, it becomes not hard to put too much reflected into “their” bond alternatively of “our” relationship.

Sexting: The Art Of Flirty Text Messages

It's through "sexting" or text messaging on your cell phone. So what the heck is "sexting?"  Well, it's modern day phone sex that has a visual component, and is the outcome of improvements in technology facilitating new forms of intimate social interaction. Sexting someone usually allows people to engage in an instant exchange of sexually provocative videos and picture messages via a mobile phone.

Certainly sexual gratification and voyeurism are the main reasons behind sexting, however, most sexters don't take into account the ramifications of sexting after the act. A social risk involved with this practice is that sexually explicit images and videos that are exchanged can easily be published across the internet by recipients and whereby the sender has no way of stopping it's distribution.

"The excitement of getting married gives couples a hit of dopamine -- a feel-good brain chemical that increases sex drive. For a few months after marriage, things may stay hot, and while you still love each other and feel passionate about each other, the dopamine does settle down. You're back to real life. Your normal sex-drive set point kicks back in. Your expectations about married sex take over. It's the perfect time to do the delicious work of deepening your sexual bond." says marriage and sex therapist Pat Love, Ed.D.

"The challenge for couples is balancing a sense of intimacy and safety and security with a sense of unpredictability and creativity and eroticism," says Barry McCarthy, Ph.D., a psychology professor at American University in Washington, D.C. "When sexual intimacy is strong, making love plays a healthy 15 to 20 percent role in energizing your marriage. The paradox is that when sex is problematic, it plays an inordinately powerful, negative role in new marriages."

When Men And Sex Are The Equal

Sex researchers are peculiar beasts. Armed with their tape measures, clipboards, surveys, and hidden cameras, they seek to provide a peephole from which to scrutinize that most private of spheres, human sexuality with lust. What's most surprising is that we let them in—we're more than happy to unzip our pants and bare our private lives. Why do we do it?

Maybe it's precisely because sex is so private that we're compelled to share. We know that without sex researchers to disseminate data about our sex lives, we'd be forced to rely upon furtive glances in the men's room, never sure of what to add or subtract to account for the angle; upon locker room stories, never sure how many grains of skeptical salt to apply; upon porn that only leaves us feeling depressed about ourselves.
