Sexual Partners: What Is Your Magic Number?

The other day a friend & I were talking, when we started discussing sexual history. We discussed what is actually considered sex, and the amount of partners each of us have been with. *clears throat* Not for sure if he was telling me the exact amount. I started thinking and counting, which brought me to my final number. Then I spoke with a another friend and discussed the same issue and when they told me the number of people they had been with I nearly choked. Have you ever sat back and thought about how many people you have slept with? Hmmmmmm I bet when you did it made you think about a lot. A lot of perplexing questions came to mind as I started thinking about this. So, here we go! Let’s play the numbers game people.

Now, what do you consider a high number of sexual partners? Is it 5, 15, 35 or more? I’m sure many of you will take out a pad and pen to start jotting down names from your past. Many skeletons or good times will appear in your mind. I’m sure you will have forgot about some and others you wish you had forgotten about. Some people may think 15 is a high number, but what if you have been having sex since you were 17 and now you’re 50? That’s an average of .45 people a year. That’s really not that bad considering you haven’t even slept with half a person on average for every year you’ve been sexually active. Or is it? Also, for a man 25 partners maybe considered low, but for a woman it would be considered too high. Why the double standard? This intrigues me every time I think about this subject.

I thought this was very interesting, because many people never take the time to think of this. If they do write a list, a guilt of shame or embarrassment comes over like a blanket on a cold night. Some have no problem discussing their sexual history, and maybe be quite proud of the people they have got in the sack. Some may actually wish they have slept with more people. I leave you with this to think about: Is there a point when one has slept with too many people? Or is the sky the limit?

Farrah Fawcett February 2, 1947-June 25, 2009

Yesterday, we also lost actress Farrah Fawcett. The lady who made a popular hairstyle that we still see exist to this day. Many people remember Farrah from the TV series Charlie's Angels, which catapulted her to worldwide fame. She was an Gloden Globe & Emmy nominated acteress, with a career that spanned over forty years.

Michael Jackson August 29, 1958-June 25, 2009

Yesterday, I was devastated to hear about the death of Michael Jackson. Anyone who knows me, know that Michael Jackson is one of my favorite artist of all of time. I will never forget when I went to see Michael Jackson in concert at the age of 7. Being able to sit on the floor and be so close to the stage was one my most memorable memories of being a child. I can remember watching the video “Scream” in amazement as a teenager, because that was such an unexpected duet with his younger sister Janet, my other favorite. Then as a kid watching the “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough” video when there was one Michael, then two and then three dancing in synchronization. At the time I had never seen anything like it and still gets excited when those videos come on. Thanks for the great music!

Duffy "Stepping Stone"

This is absolutely one of my favorite songs of all time. I figured I would just share the lyrics with you. The first time I heard this song I was an instant fan of Duffy.

Verse 1

I remember way back way back when
I said I never wanna see your face again
Cause you were loving yes you're loving somebody else
And I knew oh yes I knew I couldn't control myself
And now they bring you back into my life again
And so I put on a face just like your friend's
But I think you know oh yes you know whats going on
Cause the feelings in me oh yes in me are burning strong

Chorus

But I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I'm standing upright on my own

Verse 2
You used to call me up from time to time
And it would be so hard for me not to cross the line
The words of love layed on my lips just like a curse
And I knew oh yes I knew they'd only make it worse
And now you have the nerve to play along
Just like the maestro beats in a song
You got your kicks you get your kicks from playing me
And the less you give the more I want so foolishly

Chorus
But I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I'm standing upright on my own...

No, I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I'm standing upright on my own

Never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I'm standing upright on my own

Maxwell "BLACKsummers'NIGHT"

I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I checked my e-mail & Maxwell new album was sitting there. I was told not to forward or tell where I got the album from. My lips are zipped! After an eight year hiatus, Maxwell has returned with his fourth studio album titled "BLACKsummers'Night."

Maxwell first single was released in April, earlier this year. The song "Pretty Wings" is slow ballad love song, which is about meeting the right girl at the wrong time. The album drops July 7th. I'm not going to post it,because I don't need anyone on my ass about putting an unreleased album up. I will say it's very good and worth spending your hard earned money on this CD! The second single is "Bad Habits," which is more uptempo, but a slow grooving song. The only downside to the album is the fact that there are only nine tracks.

I'm glad to see that Maxwell has returned to music. This will be a favorite CD for a lot of the 25 & up crew. I love this CD and I'm sure you will. Especially if you love good music!

Track Listing
1. Bad Habits
2. Cold
3. Pretty Wings
4. Help Somebody
5. Stop The World
6. Love You
7. Fistful Tears
8. Playing Possum
9. Phoenix Rise

Est. 6/9/?? Joyeux Anniversaire

Today, it was storming really bad when I woke up this morning. Any other morning I wouldn’t want to get out of my bed, but today was different. A different day, because it’s my birthday. The older I get the more I realize how grateful I am to wake up and see another day. I don’t take life for granted and appreciate everything that comes my way. I’m blessed to be in good health, have great friends, family and God in my life. I’m going to keep this one short and just say “Happy Bday Timothy Marquel Hunt. I love You!”

Are You Relationship Material?

I’m pretty sure all of you would love to be in a healthy, loving and prosperous relationship. I know a few and have dated a few, also. Why not have someone that makes you feel good? A lot of people think they’re relationship material, when in actuality they are not! I have friends that jump from relationship to the next without ever giving themselves time, before they move to the next relationship. These same individuals yearn to be in relationship, but are not relationship material. We all probably think that we are the best and that we have so much to offer a person who would come into our lives. Some people are misinformed and really need a reality check!

Am I relationship material? I posed this question to myself the other day and came to the conclusion that I am not relationship material right now in my life. One may wonder how could I say something like that about myself. Not to toot my own horn, but I’m smart, funny, down to earth, have a good job, not bad on the eyes, self-sufficient, caring and giving. Why wouldn’t I be relationship material. Let’s see I carry a lot of baggage from past situations. I have been hurt before in the past and have worn my heart on my sleeve, which is why I haven’t been in another relationship in over a year. And you know what? That’s perfectly fine with me. I would hate to sabotage my next relationship, due to my past experiences, insecurities or walls that I have up. Until I can get past this; I will stay single. At times I miss having that special someone, but I’m not at %100 percent at this point to be with someone else. That would not be fair to that person or myself.

I hear a lot of people claiming to want a relationship so bad, but once they have it, they’re either liars, cheaters, abusers, insecure or carry baggage from their last relationships. A lot of people are willing to take, take, take out of relationship, but not willing to give anything. Don’t be selfish and rush too quick into something and you’re not ready. Others have feelings and if you know you’re not going to give your all, don’t be so quick to get in a relationship to fill a missing void in your life. Be honest with yourself and think about other parties involved and their feelings, too.
