    After I shaved myself clean as a surprise for my boyfriend, he started shaving himself too. We figured if one of us shaving makes for better sensitivity (and it does!), then both of us going ‘smooth’ must be better (try ASTRONOMICALLY SO!). Now it is sort of a sexy weekly ritual we do together. A hint for itching: before shaving, dampen the area and exfoliate with a washcloth or a light sugar scrub. Rinse, then shave. Afterward, pat dry and apply a topical analgesic gel like Bikini Zone to the shaved area to stop itching and razor bumps.

    While its true that, in the 1970’s, Afro-American children were named African or Muslim names ie Kenya or Muhammad, the break into ‘creative naming’ came when we started making up African and French SOUNDING names like Quinesha or LaShonda. Over the past 15-20 years, I’ve noticed that we are naming our children after luxury items. I went to school with a Porche and 3 Mercedes. My mother is a secretary at an elementary school and has admitted students festively named Lexus, Prada, and Gucci (no lie!) Maybe it is an attempt to give the child a classy moniker in an increasingly materialistic society. Seems crazy to me. Maybe you can explain why there are 2 white 4th graders at my mother’s school named Bud Weiser and ESPN (you can’t make this up!)

    You are right on the money! Everyone, gay and straight would be much better off if we would stop wondering whether the gay ‘habit’ can be broken. You can’t change your sexual orientation anymore than I can change my skin color. And who says you WANT to change? Being gay has its societal drawbacks for sure, but when you are chosen at birth to be part of the gay community, you must embrace it because being gay is what makes you uniquely YOU.
