Can You Feel The Pressure?

I know that most of our readers here on PMC are adults but prom season has prompted me to write about the pressures of losing your virginity.  This is because many teens are pressured into losing it on prom night.  It seems that a lot of young adults (especially guys) look at virginity as if it’s something to get rid of before starting their life.  I’d bet that a lot of youngins would be surprised to know that statistically most people regret their first time and usually report that they wish they had held on to their V longer.  With that said I confess that I held my V card all throughout college and still had a freaking blast.  I learned through observation that when it comes to being young that…no sex+no babies=mucho fun.  So with that said I would like to point out that I’m not saying don’t have sex until you get married that degree, but my point is don’t do it until YOU are ready.  Like they say, peer pressure can be a mutha so if you do decide to ‘get rid of it’ before heading off be sure to be safe (condoms, birth control) and remember to be above the influence.

20 Universal Guilty Pleasures

As long as the world exists there will be a few things that we don't want anyone to find out that we like, love, or participate in when no one is looking. Some of these things only apply to men, women, or both. This list of 20 things, which by the way aren't so bad when you really think about it, are things that people in general don't like to admit that they engage in. These are just a few that I came up with that I'm sure most of you will agree with. Enjoy...

20. Erotic kissing- Men generally ACT like they don't like to kiss but actually, most guys love it. No need to hide this guilty pleasure. We women LOVE this one too. :D

19. Latin Men- I think it's safe to say that most sistas wouldn't mind letting a muy caliente latin man set them on fire. Kind of our hidden fantasy If I may. To the sistas, these men are the equivalent to some brothas and their love for the White woman. See #9

18. Puppies & Kittens- Now we all know that these little furry things are undeniably cute and irresistible but for some reason, men don't like to admit this. That's like not admitting that Idris Elba or Beyonce is sexy. If you deny it then you lie!

17. Soap Operas-These addictive daily shows have a stigma of only being watched by older overweight ladies that do nothing but stay at home all day. I'll tell you one thing, I like them and I know several guys that like them, and watch them. Word to my college classmate Chris C. for putting me up on Passions ( My Fav Soap that went off the air in 2007) Whyyyyyy???

16. The gray area between cheating and not-This really needs no explanation. Bottom line...Some people like to play with fire. Just make sure you don't get burned.

15. Chick TV shows-Sex & The City, Friends, Gossip girl, etc. It's not very manly to admit that you know who Carrie Bradshaw met at Club Whatever and hooked up with on the umpteenth episode of S&TC, but surprisingly these types of shows have a decent amount of male viewers. They just keep it secret.

14. Texting/Tweeting/FB'ing at church-We love to do this but we know we shouldn't, so we don't admit that we do. That is all.

Question: Is Love A Losing Game?

The troubled singer Amy Winehouse said it in her song titled Love is a Losing Game but I wonder if that is true.  I guess it could be thought of that way when you look at the fact that statistically it seems to support the theory.  My thoughts however is that if you face losing a game of love then you have to look at the positives and negatives of the entire thing and weigh them to see if it was worth it. You may not be compatible with the guy/girl you love and therefore it may not work out but in the end you may gain an awesome friend. That is worth it in my book. I think that if you gain either a great friend, some very valuable knowledge of the dating game, or a better idea of the person who you are or the person who you want to be with, then the entire experience is worth it. What do you guys think?

I'm Just Sayin: What's up with guys re-asking for the number?

All of us females get this.  You're at the grocery store or maybe the gas station and you run into a guy who you used to talk to a year or so ago.  You make small talk.  You go through the how have you beens and what's new drill.
