Question: Has America Been Desensitized When It Comes To SEX?


After watching the most recent MTV movie awards and seeing Sandra Bullock and Scarlett Johansson pull a repeat of Brittany Spears and Madonnas 2003 kiss, I started thinking about how within the last few decades certain things that used to be considered taboo is now becoming the norm. I remember when it was impossible for me to keep my eyes pasted on the television if two women were kissing. Now I just look and feel nothing. I think it's safe to say that America has been desensitized by books, music, television, the media, and etc to view sexual prowess as normal. Even Samantha from Sex & The City's sexual openness is envied by many and the fact is, America hasn't been this open about the subject since, well....EVER.

Women: How to Naturally Boost Your Sex Drive

There are a variety of reasons why a woman's sex drive can go down the toilet.  If you are one of these women, you're probably thinking something like, "Maybe I'm just not very sexual anymore," or "Maybe my age is catching up with me."  Maybe, but probably not.  Physical problems, hormone changes, psychological problems and relationship issues can all be a factors.  Here are some natural treatments and changes worth trying.

Sexual Health: HPV


Have you ever been in the shower and suddenly noticed a bump on your pubic area, just to find out that you have been exposed to HPV? Told that you have abnormal cells and forced to have them frozen off in fear that they will become cancerous? Well you are not alone. About 20 million people in the U.S. have been exposed to the virus. What is HPV? It stands for Human Papilloma Virus.

Too Sexy in the Workplace?

Last week, Debrahlee Lorenzana made headlines when her employer, a Citibank branch in New York fired her for allegedly being too good looking. Her bosses disagree, blaming her work performance on the split. Now I’ve seen my share of sexy guys at work, but I think termination is a pretty extreme punishment, especially for something that you have to half way blame (and thank) your parents for.

Sports: The Underdog

Ok, so I know what some of you guys are thinking, "What does SHE know about sports?"  Well...I know a little something, but I'm not here to act like I'm a sports fanatic because I'm definitely not.  I do however appreciate the sport of basketball, probably because my Dad used to play in college and I remember attending a few of his alumni games as a toddler. I remember asking my Mother why his shorts were so short, but that's another story.

When She Says This...


Ever wonder what's going on inside a woman's head when she rejects you? Well I can clue you in to some extent but I won't give away all of our secrets. Sometimes when ladies tell you these things they actually mean what they say, but a lot of times they don't. Here goes some facts of the game that tells you...

What she REALLY means when she says…

Why Are Black Men Constantly Bashing Black Women?


First let me say that ALL Black men are definitely NOT bashing Black women. This topic came to mind during a long and boring work day when I decided to hop on Twitter for a while to see what was going on. I was minding my business and tweeting with friends when the barely relevant Houston rapper Slim Thug started talking crazy about Black women. In a nut shell he thinks that 'Black women need to stand by their man more' (I figure he thinks that the former Destinys Child singer Toya should have stood by him even though he knocked some other woman up.) B.S. if I ever did see it. Anywho, he influenced this whole trending topic ideal that people ran with that went something like, "My White side enrolled in college but my Black side only shows up for the tests." (among other variations) Although I know these jokes were all in fun, and I have to admit that some of them were kind of funny, I didn't like the whole idea of it.

The 6 Different Types of Guys

During my 27 years, I’ve ran into a lot of different types of guys. I know you’re probably thinking something like, well all guys are different. This is true, but if I had to characterize a large portion of them, I could pretty much throw them all into these 6 groups. He doesn’t have to only belong to one of these groups however, he can be a combo. You know what they say…variety is the spice of America.

Some Friday Linkage


Since today is Friday we decided to post some of our favorite websites. I'm a big fan of online shopping so I'll start with a few of my (and my friends) favorite online stores. Also I tend to be bored at work quite frequently so I've slowly but surely found some great sites to keep me busy all day at work and I'll share them with my fellow BAWP. (bored at work people)

Does It Still Exist: Common Courtesy?


I don't know about you guys but I think that with chivalry and manners, common courtesy too has been tossed out the window. I'm sure that it has been proven somewhere that a mans nature is shaped by the men that were in his life as a child and that the expectations that a woman places for a man she desires are too. Common courtesy is something that SHOULD be common among people but has slowly faded away.
