The Truth About Masturbation

Say it with me, “Masturbation!” Yes! Most people do it — yet so many people worry about doing it! That's because there’s a lot of myths out there that masturbation is dirty, dangerous, or something to be embarrassed about doing. But the truth is:

Masturbation is safe and healthy.
People of all ages do it.
Guys do it, and girls do it too.
Single people and people in relationships do it.
Some people do it a few times a day, and some do it a few times a year.

Transgender Day of Remembrance 2009

Posted November 19, 2009 - 4:00pm by Judith Pierce

I’m a big believer in fate, coincidence, serendipity- whatever you want to call it. After wandering around San Francisco for hours, my lovely date and I decided to complete our journey by heading over to my favorite pizza place, in the heart of the Castro neighborhood. The Castro, for those of you who do not know, is widely known for being the Gay Mecca, a meeting ground for Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Trans, and beyond folk to socialize in a queer friendly environment. This area of the city has been a hotbed of political activity for promotion of queer rights and freedoms.

During college, I worked as an assistant in the student health center, and I served as an executive board member of our peer health education group Student Advocates for Educating Women (SAFE Women for short). Since my campus was super small, and I was known for being an easy person to speak with, girls would often come up to me and ask: would you look at this?, and then try to show me some part of their body that I was not ready to see.

Rihanna's Interview with Diane Sawyer was Courageous

Posted November 16, 2009 - 12:14pm by Judith Pierce

It's been one week after Rihanna’s interview with Diane Sawyer and I am still processing everything she said. Not only do I feel that she is very courageous for speaking out because the vast majority of women who do experience such violence are not empowered to fight back, she also brought up so many things that are often overlooked when analyzing domestic violence. One of the major themes she spoke about was her conflicted feelings for Chris. She spoke of how she and Chris became obsessed with each other and obsessed with being in love- remember they were only 18 years old or so when they first met, and that obsessive blind love became dangerous for them.

The Age of Nudie SMS & Emails

I know it’s temping: you just started dating that “special someone” and it’s important to show them the flirtatious, sexy, possibly even adventurous side of your personality. You experiment with different angles and without consequence send the best scantily-clad shot to your cutie via text message, email, whatever.

I Cannot Transform Chris Brown

Posted November 11, 2009 - 10:38am by Judith Pierce

Here is my confession- I love Chris Brown’s Transform Ya song. I can’t get it out of my head. I love the beat, the lyrics are slightly creative, and best of all I can dance to this song in my car! But, my issue with this song is not the song itself, but rather the performer.

Lady GaGa’s Sexy Look ‘Kills’ a Man!

Posted November 10, 2009 - 4:00am by Joseph Gonzales

It seems bizarreness follows Lady GaGa wherever she goes and this week is no different. As GaGa entered the ACE Awards Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street in NYC on Monday, the pop diva had no idea what her presence could incite. According to the New York Examiner, when Lady Gaga arrived at the red carpet, a celebrity photographer suffered a heart attack on a ladder and fell into the crowd. He was then rushed to Bellevue Hospital, but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. What do you think of the outfit?

I Do Something

Posted November 6, 2009 - 4:00am by Judith Pierce

In my most recent post, I wrote about the brutalization of a 15 year old girl at Richmond High, and how angry and frustrated I felt. Despite my own desire for vigilante justice against the rapists, I want to focus on the message the family of survivor gave during a community meeting. The message called for restoring justice by community action to make sure this type of violence does not happen, rather than take bloody revenge against her attackers. Inspired by such admirable actions, I want to participate, but my question is how do you do that?
