			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Straight man hunting skills is a relative thing &#8211; some work and others do not, therefore to have the right set that will help you pick the man you want is a must.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A straight man is like any other prey you need to stalk. Do not pounce immediately and make a mental note to observe your straight man &#8211; how he behaves with other men and which things and topics interest him, and integrate all of them into your approach.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Set up your trap. Make your presence known in a way that your target becomes aware that you are noticing. Establish eye contact &#8211; a light, neutral one, subtly sensual that tells him that you are noticing. Do not look like you want to rip his clothes off and have him take you on the table. Piling up the sexual overtones is a definite turn off.</p>
<p><span id="more-59"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The best straight man hunting skill is a surprise take. Naturally, if he notices outright that you are there to pick him up, he would fend off, but if you come across as any normal guy, looking for some small talk, he will not be threatened by you and the chances of him opening up increases. Act like a typical guy out for a couple of beers. It is always a plus to have him on his toes and guessing about your ulterior motive &#8211; intrigue is attractive, and remember, &#8220;Curiosity killed the cat.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Touch him. See how he reacts to man to man skin contact. Does he flinch? Does he like it? Throw him light touches on the arms or on the shoulder. Bring up the topic of sex &#8211; with girls. Get him in the mood for sex using his usual, comfortable ground, and then slowly bring up the idea to sexual fantasies he might have and make them come true.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you want to know the ultimate seduction tricks to get him to bed, follow our killer straight moves free download that you can learn in 7 days, fast and easy to get any guy you want, how you want.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The ability to find straight men who will love you really has little to do with where you look, but actually more with how you approach and move with them. Literally, straight men are everywhere. But the challenge is not exactly to convert them into switching teams, but to have them acting on all their sexual urges.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are neither 100% straight men nor 100% gay guys. Most men have homosexual fantasies and those who tell you otherwise or strongly denounce the thought are the exact ones who usually have a lot but cannot bring themselves to accept them.</p>
<p><span id="more-56"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Find straight men who will love you by coming after the specific brand of males that are ready or at least open to some man-to-man action. These guys are those that have embraced their hedonistic sides. They are males who love sexual pleasure and will take it where they can regardless of the gender of the person who gives it. Sex is sex, a mouth is a mouth, and a hole is a hole. It is not so much the sex orientation that matters to these men, but the pleasure they get from it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Others are not as primal but are curious little things. They are open to the possibility once it presents itself at them. Find straight men who will love you by considering those who will try anything once in their lives. It does not exactly make them gay. They are just at a point where they are searching for who they are and what makes them feel right. Who knows, if you threw in your best performance he might really end up on the same team as you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How do you know if a straight man is in heat? Don&#8217;t miss on this killer straight moves free download guide that reveals all the secrets to getting any guy you want.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It is so hard these days to meet genuine people that are not into things for the mere popularity or money making deals. I think often when we do meet individuals that are sincere and speak or in this case sing their passion and love, that we automatically think they want something or they are a frauds. This world has become so doubtful and abusive towards each other that talent, true conviction and passion are overridden by insecurities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Last night I had a conversation with a new and upcoming artist Ace Reign, and I just fell in love with this woman&#8217;s words and passion. First of all, I am a sucker for women who are intelligent and able to communicate their ideas, but to also do it in a manner that reaches and teaches people is amazing.</p>
<p><span id="more-50"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My aim has always been to empower and connect with the lesbian community, so when I asked the brilliant Rapper her thoughts of being seen as a Dominant/Aggressive Gay woman in the entertainment industry she actually caught me off guard by gently correcting me.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">She brought about a very important point that labels are very constricting and that they often allow people to be discriminated upon or boxed in. She shared that she is herself and that she is proud of who she is, being a person of this world that loves what she creates and happens to also have relationships with women.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I agreed with her, stereotyping means making generalizations towards people and that creates an opening for prejudice &#8220;like butch girls don&#8217;t cry!&#8221; We are all guilty of it and do it aggressively within our own community. She stated back, &#8220;Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if people would just want to get to know you before they judge you or see someone in baggy jeans and not automatically think oh, that must be a guy and call you Sir.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are so many wonderful and extraordinary Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) artists and Ace is no exception, just listening to her music is inspiring and you cannot help smiling when she says things like &#8221; I breath my music, lyrics are emotions, pain&#8230; It is how I tell my story or someone I have meet that inspired me&#8221; Her songs come from her journey through life and stories that others have shared with her and the passion she felt in those moments.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">She is definitely not in any box with any label but a free soul whose journey is to inspire and connect with others through music. She is a pioneer in her art, in Still Riding Ace expresses her experience with the heterosexual male rapping industry and fights another stereotype &#8220;girls can&#8217;t rap&#8221; or assume a woman cannot reach a level of artistry as men. The lyrics in Still Ridin show victory and power over the negative views and beliefs, showing survival in the tough Hip Hop world.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I am glad I got this chance to have a conversation with an artist and creator of beauty, this woman that represents the lesbian community but also of that of all artist, will soon in her own right be shining so bright that reaching her may be near impossible.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is up to us as a community to support our LGBT talent, to help them shine and represent us in a positive light. It is our responsibility as a community to look out for one another so that the world sees our true talents, because we have so many!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Good luck my Friend, you are amazingly talented. Keep inspiring, writing, singing, and may the world embrace you passion!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">In the United States, it may be a surprise to many that there are different adoption rules and laws for same sex couples who are looking to adopt in different states. While many states allow a single lesbian parent to adopt a child, they do not specify if a joint gay adoption is allowed. This article will go through the various states and provide information on which states are the best states to adopt a child and allow joint gay parent adoption.  According to a report published by The Williams Institute UCLA School of Law, the largest states with the most same sex adoptions are California, New York, and Massachusetts. One of the best states to for a lesbian couple to adopt in is California. In addition to having joint adoptions available, they also are one of the most progressive states and have several very large gay friendly cities. Some cities include Santa Monica, San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Also, Palm Springs also has an extremely large gay community. One benefit to adopting in California is that they are several organizations that focus on helping lesbian couples to find a baby. AdoptHelp is one organization located in California that matches birth mothers and gay and lesbian couples who are looking to adopt. Also, according to the above mentioned report, over 16,000 adopted children are living with a same sex parent in the state of California.  Another excellent state to adopt is in Colorado. In 2007, Governor Bill Ritter passed a bill that allowed homosexual and lesbian couples to finally be able to go through the adoption process. The governor went on to further state that. Some other good choices that allow joint couples to adopt are Connecticut, New York, New Mexico, and New Jersey.  While they are several states that are not difficult for a same sex couple to go through the adoption process, they are still some states that it can be difficult too. New Hampshire and Utah prohibits joint adoption while in 2008, Arkansas passed an act Called &#8220;Act One&#8221; which does not allow any unmarried couples from being able to adopt. In Utah, the law is tricky as it allows a gay or lesbian person to adopt a child, however, if they are living with someone and having non-marital relations, then they are not allowed to. However, the worst and downright offensive state is Florida. In Florida, not only is if someone is gay can they not adopt, the adoption papers have a requirement where the couple wishing to adopt must sign a paper specifically stating they are not gay.  In conclusion, some great states to adopt in are California, Colorado, Connecticut, New York, New Mexico and New Jersey while New Hampshire, Utah, Arkansas and Florida are not.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A decision every gay or lesbian individual must face is to whether to inform their parents that they are gay. This decision may be easy for some that have very understanding and open minded parents; however with some parents it will not be as easy, especially if their parents are religious. There are several factors that will help coming out to your religious parents and by doing so, can feel like a giant weight has been lifted.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One important factor is the manor in how you break the news. It would be better to sit them down in a quiet environment like a living room and calmly tell them. What you don&#8217;t want to do is announce to your parents if you are anger with them for any reason. If your parents are Christian, remind them that real Christians will love their child even if they do not agree with everything they do with their life. Jesus never once mentioned homosexuality in the bible; however, he did speak of having love and acceptance for those who you do not agree with. Also, when referring to bible and homosexuality, the book was written in Hebrew or Greek, so it is extremely difficult to find a bible verse that states that homosexuality is a sin or even wrong. The context of the verses can be difficult to understand the true meaning because of translation issues.</p>
<p><span id="more-44"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If your parents are still upset or do not understand, you can explain to them that are many resources available to help. There are toll free hotlines where your parents can talk to other parents who have homosexual children if they feel like they need to talk to someone about the news. There are also various forums and message boards that can be a great outlet and where parents can learn from others and maybe realize that this is not something for them to be angry or ashamed of.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even with this information, there are many parents that are so set in their beliefs; they will not listen to reason or a conflicting point of view. If this is the case, one must choose if telling their parents would be worth the fight and conflict. A lot of parents will be angry at first but eventually come around to being more supportive. Another issue to consider is that before coming out, one must be prepared for the worst possible outcome. If you are not financially stable and still need to live at home, it would probably not be the best time to come out. Coming out is an important step in any gay or lesbian person&#8217;s life and if you feel the time is right, then hopefully your religious parents will understand.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you in a relationship with a woman and find yourself asking questions (often) like &#8220;Why did she hurt me?&#8221;,&#8221;How did I get involved with her?&#8221; and &#8220;Why does she act that way? Do you feel like your relationship is out of control and that every move you make has the butterfly effect, provoking a hurricane minutes later?</p>
<p>About 6 million people in America have Borderline Personality Disorder, (BPD), most of them are women. If you are in a relationship with a woman with BPD, their behavior is affecting you. Women with BPD are often described as emotionally or verbally abusive, manipulative, deceitful, invalidating, demanding, lacking in empathy, moody, self-harming (use drugs/alcohol, and/or sexually impulsive), illogical, unfair, self-absorbed, and abusive towards children. Now this is important, you do not have to have all of these to have this disorder. There needs to be enough of an influence of these traits to cause chaos in your life and relationships.</p>
<p><span id="more-39"></span></p>
<p>A diagnosis can be given by a trained mental health professional if you decided to know if have this disorder or if you are with a partner that may be affected by these character traits. Like most disorders it is manageable, just like diabetes, however it requires treatment and becoming aware of symptoms and coping skills.</p>
<p>Most Borderlines are a powerful force and provoke fear in a relationship. Woman who love a borderline feel &#8220;brainwashed&#8221; by their partner&#8217;s accusations and criticisms. They will make you feel helpless, isolated, get you to doubt what you know and feel, wear you down, and keep you on your toes (in a scary way!). If you are feeling like this and you want to regain control of your life and make better decisions you should go and talk to someone experienced with the disorder.</p>
<p>In our community of women we are bound to bump into a lady affected by BPD (it affects more women then men remember!). We can not always help who we fall in love with, but we can have the knowledge and power to protect ourselves and the wisdom to walk away. Some loves are not worth the pain, unfortunately, sometimes being healthy means knowing what is good for you and feeling the pain of letting go. If you choose to stay in such a relationship, than knowing what triggers certain emotions in you and your partner can help you to better manage the interaction in your relationship.</p>
<p>Borderline personalities have predictable behavior patterns (it&#8217;s all about the pattern!), which stem out of nine traits found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), as well as false beliefs. Understanding how your partner&#8217;s emotions and behaviors affect you, how you react and how it in turn effects your partner will give light into the cycle of your relationship. Some patterns to look for:</p>
<p>* Extreme Projecting- they attribute their own lack of self-worth unto someone else. Saying things like &#8220;I&#8217;m not controlling, you are!&#8221; &#8220;Stop screaming at me&#8221; and &#8220;You always treat me like shit.&#8221;<br />
* Splitting- Everything is black and white or good and bad. If you&#8217;re not with them then you are against them, and that can mean war!<br />
* Everything is your fault. It is a pouring of continual blame and criticism. If you are saying &#8220;I cannot do anything right!&#8221; you have been sucked in.<br />
* My needs are more important. Everything is about them and if you do what they need then everything will be good for you. They will go above and beyond for their own needs to be met.<br />
* I win, you lose, or no one wins! Basically damned if you do and damned if you don&#8217;t.<br />
* Keep your distance! No, I mean get a little closer (this one will drive you crazy!) I want you close but feel worthless and afraid if you find out I need you (no this is not freaking charming). The love you/ I hate you game will wear you down like sandpaper on rope.<br />
* Verbal Abuse: domination, assaults, abusive expectations, unpredictable responses, denial, and CHAOS. &#8220;I&#8217;m telling you this to make you a better person!&#8221;<br />
* Emotional Blackmail- they are masters at manipulation, that&#8217;s why boundaries are going to be important in developing a healthy cycle.</p>
<p>This is just the surface of the information available to you. There are a lot of resources and information out there. Unfortunately, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) people are at greater risk of mental health disorders and suicidal behavior, this could be due partly from prejudice, social stress, social shame about sexuality, and lack of support. This is why as a community we need to reinforce support, resource, and communication amongst ourselves. Some resources available are: Oz online community for LGBT family members with a Borderline Loved One and the book series Stop Walking on Eggshells.</p>
<p>In addition, this is not about judging a woman affected by BPD but it is about making healthier choices (hopefully in the pursuit of happiness). The more knowledge you have of your environment the better decisions can be made for yourself and your family. We all have rights, personal rights, make sure you take a moment to recognize them and make decisions not to avoid pain in the short-term but to find health, love and happiness in the long-term.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Coming out Lesbians! This is a celebration of your true identity being unveiled and released into the world. I wish there were a more beautiful and transformational term to refer to the process of developing and sharing your sexual orientation. I believe if it were a more affirmative term it would create a more positive and hopeful experience. Words have a powerful and energetic effect on people when said, thought, and expressed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Everyone&#8217;s coming out story is so unique, an imprint on our life&#8217;s journey, so powerful it can have a life altering effect on where it leads us in our future and how we perceive the world and those we hold closest to us. For some lesbians coming out is met with love and support, as well as &#8220;yeah, everyone knew already.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-36"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I was so frightened to tell my sister, the only family I had, and that I was going to be exclusively with women and that I figured out why I could not connect with men as much as I tried, &#8220;I am Gay!&#8221; Her response was witty and dry as always to her true form, &#8220;Babes, I do not know about you but if you have been looking under girls skirts since you were six you probably are Gay!&#8221; We both laughed and that was the end of it, now she is the most supportive and loving person in my life and I get to enjoy being completely true to who I am with her.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is not to say that all my &#8220;Yes I am a homo&#8221; experiences have been as pleasant. Coming out is a long and difficult struggle and will often be met with a lot of resistance? In fact I had a couple of childhood female friends that became angry with me. They thought that during our friendship I may have secretly desired them and did not tell them. I was shocked, mostly because if I want something I go for it, but also because I realized that people could be so quick to judge homosexuality as just an uncontrollable desire to have sex or want to have sex with everything that has a vagina if you are a lesbian or a penis if your gay man.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You may encounter a lot of stereotyping and homophobia during this time, so be aware and prepared that not everyone will be happy for you or want to know you, and that is OKAY. Now do not get mad, but if you have the right to have beliefs and values so does everyone else, so if a friend or family member decided that who you are goes against their belief system and walks away you need to respect that. As wrong as it may be or seem, that is their choice. It is sad that they will be losing out on someone amazing but sometimes people need a time out to get the bigger picture and will eventually return and sometimes they will not!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It will be hard not to internalize this abandonment, but I do not want you to forget that people are responsible for the choices they make and that if someone has a problem &#8220;it is their freaking problem&#8221;, not yours. I have seen so many Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) individuals become resentful and angry at those who do not or cannot understand us but that is a form of self- punishment for who you are. You are beautiful even when others do not see it! If we fight for equality and a right to be who we are, we also need to respect that people have the right not to agree. I am still going to bitch and moan until the sun goes down on getting civil rights but I will always respect someone that chooses not to be in my life because I am gay. Why? Because it is not my problem and I would definitely rather have people in my life that want me just the way I am! Keeping secrets is exhausting and leads to depression and anxiety, so decide what you are prepared to live with.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Presenting your Charming and Magnificent gay side of who you are (there is a lot more than just being gay that makes you unique) shows a positive identity and attitude towards being a LGBT. For some this will be a lifelong passage where as for others they will embrace their orientation straight away. You may have to deal with your own homophobia and explore feelings of guilt, shame, loathing, anger and intolerance. During your self-discovery there will be hopefully a development of feelings of enjoyment and wonder of what being gay is all about.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have learned this much on my journey, that if I want people to change and be open to homosexuality I am going to have to educate and make them aware of the stereotypes and myths. Once you put doubt in someone&#8217;s fears, that they may not be true, you leave an opening for growth and curiosity! We are teachers and representatives of a minority group, for us to be supported and loved we need to make aware that we are here and explain the truth of who we are! We also need to be supportive and available for each other, our LGBT &#8220;family&#8221; because whether you like it or not you belong to a network, one that understands the struggles so use it as a support system.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I encourage and suggest that those struggling with their identity to go see a therapist and start working on building a positive self image and feelings surrounding coming out. You will be able to express your feelings openly and have a licensed therapist work through them with you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If there is at any time thoughts of suicide seek help immediately and call 911. Suicide is not an answer or solution, just a hurtful action. Please talk to someone!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dedicated to Miss G, thank you for reading and sharing your story with me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">It amazes me how many women know about having safe sex but often they do not use that knowledge. How we just take the word of the person we are getting naked with as the truth and virus free? If that was a foul proof method we wouldn&#8217;t have the STD (sexually transmitted disease) problems we have today!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Growing up in South Africa you learn about HIV and AIDS early on, advertisements and education run ramped in my birth country. Thank goodness that in the Gay community we are a little more educated and pushy about HIV/AIDS education, but still it is the boys doing all the work and putting the information out there. Lesbians remain quiet and some even unaware of the risk of having unsafe sex. I even had a young Lesbian tell me that Lesbians cannot get STDs? Sorry, My Darlings but we are very much susceptible to contracting an STD; in fact no person or groups of people are immune to the spreading of disease. Disease is spread through action, not sexual identity or preference.</p>
<p><span id="more-33"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The problem lies that when we hear the term OB/GYN we think contraception, and because obviously two ladies cannot make a baby we ignore that part of our medical care. There is a lot more that goes on there then just having a baby and a regular or yearly check up will keep your vagina happy and healthy. A healthy vagina means safer and better sex.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Research shows that Lesbians are at high risk of cervical cancer due to not having regular pap smears and breast examinations (once a year is recommended.) There are many reasons that women do not take care of their sexual health, but there is no excuse. If you are closeted and worried of coming out to your doctor you need to do some research. Call you OB/GYNs in the area and search for a physician that has experience working with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) individuals.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That is what I do, I learned that I am the client/patient and I want my NEEDS met appropriately by a clinician that knows what they are doing. People are afraid to speak to their doctors, but they want to care for all people so you need to communicate and share your concerns with them. Going to the doctor is part of being a healthy individual, and it shows self-respect.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, a lot of STD&#8217;s can be treated and are often the result of uncomfortable and painful sex. It is perfectly alright to ask your partner how many people they have had intercourse with, when is the last time they had sex, if they ever had a HIV test, have they ever exchanged needles or have they ever had an abnormal pap smear (they also have the right not to answer). Sadly many STD&#8217;s aren&#8217;t noticeable until there is a serious threat, since many remain active below the surface of the skin spreading or dormant infecting others. In fact most times people are infected and are unaware, that&#8217;s why you have to get a HIV antibody test and practice safe sex. There are Free Medical Clinics, if you do a search you will find them!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The other problem is that Lesbians who have never slept with a man or who have slept with few men think they are not at risk. However, it is the number of partners that really makes the difference, not the gender. With lesbians the larger the number of female partners has been associated with an increased risk of bacterial vaginosis, herpes, and HPV in various studies.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Safer sex practices can be fun and there are many that do not involve exchange of fluids, such as frottage (rubbing aka dry humping with clothes on), nipple and breast play, sharing sex toys with a condom on, genital touching with gloves, oral sex with a barrier, self masturbation, fantasy, talking dirty, reading or watching porn, cyber relationships, voyeurism and exhibitionism.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Safe sex tips:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* Talk to your partner/s!<br />
* Avoid contact with bodily fluids: blood, vaginal, semen and breast milk.<br />
* Get tested regularly and get your partner/s tested, in fact make it a date, one that will make you both more comfortable and relaxed afterward about exploring each other&#8217;s bodies fully!<br />
* Use dental dams, Lollyes, or plastic wrap for oral-vaginal or oral-anal contact, for example when rimming or cunnilingus.<br />
* Use gloves for hand-vaginal or hand-anal contact, for example fisting.<br />
* Change gloves often when moving from vagina to anal play.<br />
* Wash hands often.<br />
* Use a condom when having sex with a man (if you are bisexual or still questioning) and when sharing toys.<br />
* Do not touch your partner then yourself with the same hand. Wash hands first or change hands.<br />
* Always use water based lube.<br />
* Urinate after sex; this decreases the risk of urinary tract infection.<br />
* Wear gloves if there is blood involved, whether from menstrual cycle, piercing, cuts or shaving.<br />
* Dispose of gloves and condoms carefully.<br />
* Always clean your toys with antibacterial soap and I would even boil them if possible.<br />
* DO NOT share needles, for whatever reason (play piercing, IV drug use, permanent piercing or tattooing.)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you do have an STD you still deserve to be loved and can have sex, you just have to be more cautious and practice safe sex like everyone else. We all deserve to be loved, respected and cared for, just be honest about where you are in life, how much you can give of yourself and how much you need from your partner. Many STD&#8217;s are manageable and even treatable if we just take care of ourselves and get medically on a track to promote health in our lives.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You just do not know, so it is important to be careful and mindful. I understand that you are in love and to think of your partner having been with someone else can be disgusting and disturbing. However, the truth is you do not know their past sexual practices, medical status, or history. People make mistakes, slip and are flawed and may not be as monogamous as they promised. So do not pay the price for someone else&#8217;s choices, it&#8217;s your body so make sure you make healthy decisions for yourself.</p>
