For the Young Peeps in Your Life....

There are a lot of conversations we need to have with the young people in our lives... one that sometimes gets past us is truth about partner violence. Signs that sometimes look like acts of love to a young person can quickly swirl into acts of control and abuse. At a time when our teens are already seeking to find independence and isolating themselves from family - this can be a recipe for disaster. It's important that we let the young people in our lives know that they are safe coming to you if they find themselves in trouble.

THE FACTS:

One in five teens in a relationship report they have been hit, slapped, or pushed by their partners.

One in three teens say they’ve been stalked by an abusive partner on his or her cell phone — receiving text messages 10, 20, or 30 times an hour asking where they are and what they’re doing.

Here's a great tip sheet to help young people understand the signs of abuse.

FACT: Masturbatory Progress

Scientific records show that in 1953 - 67% percent of women preferred masturbating by rubbing their vulva, 20% most enjoyed inserting fingers or some other object into their vagina, 11% stimulated the eternal opening of their urethra and 2% used rhythmic pressures with their thighs.

I have to wonder how those number would change now that women can freely buy sex toys on line, at home parties and in progressive women owned/operated sex toys business? And when will humans stop defining sex as penetration when clearly sex for the female body encompasses so much more than just their vaginal opening? Women have achieved great sexual progress but we still have a long way to go. How do we get there? By touching ourselves!

FACT: You may be an ORAL OUTLAW!

Oral sex (heterosexual or homosexual) is against the law in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Virginia, and Washington D.C.

Oh what antiquated laws we have on the books... But this could make for a really fun game of Highway Bingo! So far I have only broken the law in two states. How about you?

FACT: He's Got Hot Wheels

The SACRAL AREA is the segment of the spinal cord in the lower back where nerve centers that control penile erection and ejaculation are located.  Because sexual stimulation is controlled in part by the brain, men who have suffered spinal injuries are frequently able to achieve partial or complete erections, and many are able to have great intercourse.
