POPSSex Is Good For You "When people feel deeply close while merely holding hands, they are having sex. When people display caring for each other through hugs, caresses, and kissing, they are also having sex. When connecting people in a crowded room wink at each other in their own secret way, they are communicating sex to each other; such non-contact sex can be excitedly arousing and emotionally fulfilling. And, of course, during sexual union when the sky seems to open so a lightning bolt can strike the couple--while fireworks ignite and the earth stops spinning-- this is sex, too." Emotional intimacy is so important and the first step is to allow yourself to be vulnerable with someone is taking the time to build that intimacy with others. One of the primary reasons I've always felt close to women is because of emotional intimacy. The whole package of love, companionship and sex can be so appealing, and I think that is one of the reasons men are attracted to women.

POPSKeep the marketing out... A professional organization I belong to had an impromtu meetup in Lively. Yes, unexpected guests arrived and my cartoon was kissed without permission. My cartoon was also invited to watch streaming web content of a "too polite to repeat here" subject. I had participated in the meetup with high hopes that Lively might be the place to hang out with professionals in a virtually social setting. Guess What? I like hanging out in virtual worlds because it is an escape from the barrage of marketing at me. I have to endure advertising and marketing messages on the radio, on TV, cable, satelite...the Internet is one huge bombardment of marketing messages. I want virtual worlds to be a respite from marketing. I want a place to have a 3d representation of myself where I can collaborate with others. My advice: KEEP YOUR MARKETING OUT OF VIRTUAL WORLDS.

POPS5 Secrets to Getting Your “Way back into Love” Intimatcy. (In to me i c) Lots of couples need to learn the “flavor of love”; giving “love comments” to each other can start the build up to creating fantastic intimacies. It’s not just about hearing the words “i wanna love you”. Intimacy and sex are very important within a healthy relationship and they are not all about the physical act of sex. It encompasses a lot more than that. Communication, holding hands, just being attentive and caring. Couples need to understand the differences between intimacy and sex and also understand each others needs and desires.

POPSWhen That Good Night Falls, We Want Our Stars to Shimmer News of Senator Edward Kennedy's malignant brain tumor and its media coverage prompted these insights into the disadvantages of being a celebrity when tragedy strikes. "We have a strange kind of intimacy with celebrities. Once they reach a certain level of fame, we tend to believe that we are owed something...They pay for the adulation, the success, even the so-called free stuff with their privacy." "But when the news is especially harsh -- when the diagnosis is deadly -- we realize we don't want to know that much, after all. After getting a look at the tragic facts, we want a "luckiest man alive" speech. Celebrities are supposed to amuse, enlighten, appall and outrage. They can make us envious. But they are never supposed to make us cry." :(

POPSMechthild of Magdeburg - German Mystic, Poet, Beguine The Flowing Light of the Godhead. (Transl. by Frank Tobin) Even in her lifetime, Mechthild of Magdeburg gained some renown for her extraordinary book of mystical revelations, "The Flowing Light of the Godhead", the first such work in the German vernacular. Yet her writings dropped into obscurity after her death, many assume because of her gender. In "Mechthild of Magdeburg and Her Book", Sara S. Poor seeks to explain this fate by considering Mechthild's own view of female authorship, the significance of her choice to write in the vernacular, and the continued, if submerged, presence of her writings in a variety of contexts from the thirteenth through the nineteenth century. "Mechthild of Magdeburg and Her Book" offers new insights into medieval vernacular mysticism, late medieval women's roles in the production of culture, and the construction of modern literary traditions. amazon.de

letters, but not necessarily sexual congress. A peek inside Franklin's not-so-little black book: Deborah Franklin: The Affectionate Wife Deborah and Ben had a close marriage, except for the fact that for 18 of the 44 years of their union they lived apart. But even if their bond lacked grand passion, it had mutual respect. Plain and plump, Deborah, a carpenter's daughter, is first taken with the young printer when he begins lodging with her family shortly after his arrival in Philadelphia in 1723. They, as Benjamin put it, "interchang'd some promises"—an 18th century locution for engagement—a year later as he set off for England to buy printing equipment. But when his backer reneges and Franklin finds himself stranded in London, he tells Deborah to forget him. She marries a potter instead who may already have been married, a ne'er-do-well who squanders her dowry and runs off to the West Indies. When Franklin returns home after two years away, he professes guilt for having strande

POPSNo Sex, Thank You "According to one study a fifth of Japanese husbands say they are bored with intercourse, while about 15 per cent say they are simply too tired. A similar proportion of women agree that the spark has gone out of their love lives, although fewer than one in 10 blames their lover's poor performance in bed. My husband and I know that is what has happened in our marriage - but we never talk about it." Well, I don't think this is only is Japan folks. Practically all of my friends almost never have sex with their spouses. They have aging parents to take care of, or they have physical issues that affect their sex lives, or they just plain are bored or don't really like their spouse. I feel physical intimacy is important in a marriage, but I'm starting to feel like I'm in the minority.

POPSTriangular Theory of Love - Sternberg From article: "This theory is elegant in its simplicity, yet consistent with everyday notions of love. Moreover, the theory is relevant to the development of relationships over time. For example, before meeting another person the three components of love would be absent (nonlove). After meeting, liking may develop (intimacy). Perhaps some degree of commitment develops also, suggesting companionate love. If passion develops as well, then full consummate love has flowered. Other developmental trajectories are possible. A sudden burst of passion and commitment may develop from an initial meeting. Fatuous love seems an appropriate name for such instant, committed attraction. Perhaps a full consummate relationship loses its passion and intimacy, but retains strong commitment. The concept of empty love captures this situation well."

POPSWomen Defy Labels In Intimacy
I can really identify with this article, and I am so encouraged to see young women having the freedom to explore their sexuality! Still yet, many admit they are afraid to come out to their friends much less family, but that is slowly changing. Being gay is an important part of my life; not an experiment. I've been in love very deeply three times in my life, twice with men, including my husband, whom I love and admire very deeply and once with a woman. All were very different experiences of course, but the woman's love? OMG, it was so bittersweet that I can taste it to this day. Loving her was the experience of a lifetime and I'm so glad I had that chance. I love, admire, and respect her to this day. It's too bad it has taken society this long to be somewhat accepting of very real and honest human emotions. Love has no boundaries for some, and I'm so glad God made me this way. He loves me and that is all that matters and He has given me the ability to love in (cont)

POPSRolling Down To the Coast of Antarctica
We have our love for the whales and the oceans and a courage born of that love. Recently a columnist in the Sydney Morning Herald made fun of my reference to having a whale point the way to the whaling fleet. He dismissed it as nonsense. That was before we found the fleet after traveling in the direction the Humpback pointed. Is there magic out here on the ocean? Of course there is. When we feel the sea we become intimate with the sea and that intimacy fires the imagination and stokes the flames of intuition and after more than three decades of sea-battles, pursuits, searches and dramatic confrontations I have learned that it is intuition that pulls us through where all else fails. This is something a landlubber journalist has no conception of and thus his opinion on our experiences have little merit. We will have the Japanese whalers in our sights within a week. The crew and I can smell them and we are eager to have a go at them once again, to chase them from the Whale Sanctu

POPS The ultimate sex guide for newlyweds -Don't use sex as a bargaining chip. Angry? Say something -- don't grunt or "hmph" and roll over. Withholding lovemaking when you're upset turns this deep, vulnerable connection into a nuclear weapon for power struggles. -Have realistic expectations. And in particular, dial back on multi-orgasmic, transcendental expectations. Even for the most happily married couples, more than 10 percent of sexual encounters aren't even pleasurable for one or both spouses. -Never underestimate the power of a quickie. You won't always have all the time in the world for making love -- and maybe you don't already.Don't overlook fast sex.It keeps the two of you in the intimacy loop, so you don't jeopardize the compassion, happiness, romance, and understanding that sexual closeness can bring.

POPSThe reality of married lovemaking "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."

POPSSlow Sex Sex is the ultimate trust with another human being isn't it? We trust that they desire us and we want intimacy in a relationship. While it certainly is easy to reach our to your partners genitals to get something going, it's impersonal and it's not touching what is the best in yourself. While on the surface it seems that sex is a biological drive like a need for food, I feel this kind of thinking tends to limit our perspectives and actually interferes with our relationships.
