This Issue's Sex Joke

Two priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation. They were determined to make this a real vacation escape by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed they headed for a store and bought some outrageous shorts, shirts and sandals.

The next morning they went to the beach dressed in their tourist garb. They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a drop dead gorgeous blonde wearing a string bikini came walking straight towards them. They couldn't help but stare. As the blonde passed them she smiled and said, "Good Morning, Father. Good Morning, Father," nodding and addressing each of them individually; then she passed on by.

They were both stunned. How in the world did she know they we're priests? So the next day, they went back to the store and bought even more outrageous outfits. These were so loud you could hear them before you saw them.

Once again, in their new attire, they settled on the beach in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine. After a while, the same gorgeous blonde, this time topless with just a thong bikini, taking her sweet time, came walking toward them.

Again she nodded at each of them, she said, "Good morning, Father. Good morning, Father," and started to walk away. One of the Priests couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Just a minute young lady." "Yes, Father?", she said. "We are priests and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world did you know we are priests, dressed as we are?" "Father, it's me, Sister Margaret.

Healthy Vs. Unhealthy Sex
What It Means To Be Sexually Confident & Empowered

When most people think of society today, they typically consider that we are more open about sexuality than ever before. I disagree.

Extreme Superficial Sexuality

I think that we are more daring with nudity, and bold through sexual display, however, it is a superficial type of sexuality. It is more often than not coming from a place of ego, insecurity and rebellion when it is displayed.

Often through reality shows, music videos, commercials, movies and even the news you see extremely superficial aspects of sexuality. Women as well as men are sex objects. Women in particular have long been shown this way, and while I am not against nudity, or displays of sexuality, I am not impressed with women running around dressing like hookers, waving their asses in the faces of anyone who will look and then in turn calling any other women who does this a whore.

Check out the Flavor Flav show on VH1 Flavor of Love 2 or look at anything Paris Hilton does to see what I mean. There is a big difference between a woman who is confident in herself, who dresses sensually and a woman who is insecure and is desperately trying to get the attention of any one who will notice her. This kind of approach to sexuality sends the message that sex is all about having power and control over others. It is fear based, it is from insecurity, it is not beautiful to those who know the difference.

People who see the world in black and white make the mistake of thinking that sexuality can be viewed in two ways... cheap and superficial or uptight and conservative. This is a dangerous way to view the world and can lead to all sorts of problems.

 

Women In A Sexually Superficial Society

For women it often sets the stage for her to feel that in order to compete for attention she must dress and act in a manner that focuses completely on her appearance. Wearing revealing clothes to bragging about sexual prowess are ways this is accomplished. A big trend now is for young girls to claim they are bisexual, even if they are not, to seem sexually edgy in order to attract men.

When you see women waving their ass in someone's face, the message that can be interpreted is that they are a piece of meat to be screwed, and discarded. I am not saying that you can't ever put your ass in someone's face, because sometimes that is fun... what I am saying is to look at WHY one is doing it.

We need to move toward a place where we experience sexuality from a place of confidence, not insecurity. Where we express our sensual natures from a more empowered place within us. We are more than our butts, breasts and vaginas.

We need to show our sexuality in a way that commands respect while honoring our integrity. We can exhibit our sensual beauty through our speech, dress and body language in an empowered way and make that the norm, rather than focusing only on our skin.

Whether you are into a one night stands, open or monogamous relationships... you deserve respect from yourself and others. A woman who knows and believes this will ensure that she receives it by putting out signals to the world that she is a sexual goddess with a mind and soul.

 

Men In A Sexually Superficial Society

Men in our society are often encouraged (especially by peers) to seek out any kind of sexual activity no matter what woman it is with or the health risks involved. They are often encouraged to manipulate others to get sex and to talk about getting it. They are erroneously taught that they are valued for their performance, penis size, physique and ability to get laid.

Like women, they are taught to be ashamed of masturbation. Men are not made aware of prostate massage, the health benefits or pleasure due to fears of homosexuality. There is no emphasis on embracing their pleasure as a whole- pleasuring themselves beyond just their penis or how to develop healthy sexual self esteem with respect for their bodies or their sexual partner(s).

 

The Sexually Superficial Path

Both men and women are being groomed in these situations to see themselves and their worth as dictated by how they can appeal sexually. These superficial approaches to sexuality are often demeaning to our sense of self. When we send out messages that we are wanting to be seen for our surface sexuality than we will in turn attract people into our lives that are also preoccupied with all the baggage that comes along with it.

 

Conservative Repression

On the other side of the spectrum, you have ultra conservatives that are repulsed by many aspects of sexuality and who are more than ready to throw out what are healthy, educated and empowering forms of sexuality right along with the dysfunctional.

When this happens you find that people will repress their sexuality and see all kinds of problems. You will begin to see increased sexual abuse, rape, pedophila and a lot of hypocrisy.

Let's look at a current example of what happens when sexuality is repressed-

Florida Representative Mark Foley sent sexual harassing eMails to minor, teenage males while he was the founder and co-chair of the Congressional Missing and Exploited Children's Caucus and has played key roles in recent legislation to protect kids - including the Volunteers for Children Act, which gives organizations that work with youths access to FBI fingerprint checks to make sure they don't hire child molesters.

Most people are saying how ironic... but I say how typical. People hate most in others what they hate in themselves. We must look closely at people who are in such positions. Often, those who take a moderate approach are not of concern, it is those who come down hard on issues in an ultra conservative manner that have the hidden issues. This is because deep down inside they are yelling loudly on the outside to either divert people's attention away from their true intentions and/or to push down what dysfunction is inside them.

We have all seen it in ministers, priests, politicians and activists who are overly obnoxious about sexuality. It is of no surprise when you find out they have been molesting children, raped someone or committed some other atrocity.

 

Coming Out Of The Confusion

So when you are surrounded with superficial sexuality mixed with damning conservative views about sexuality, it is no wonder why there are so many confused and dissatisfied people. I believe we are in need of a sexual revolution. The following are a few things I would like to see occur in the future as we evolve and better understand healthy sexuality.

1) Embrace masturbation as a healthy part of our sexuality. Begin in the early years by teaching children that it is all right for them to do it in private and that there is no shame in being a sexual human being.
   
2) Dress and act in a manner that makes us feel good about ourselves and invokes our creativity and sensuality. Resist dressing and acting to gain power over others and instead in a way that empowers us.
   
3) Treat others as we know we should be treating ourselves. Show ourselves and others love, compassion and respect. Accept that diversity is a beautiful part of life; it is how we learn from one another and evolve.
   
4) Understand that people have different sexual orientations and that we should respect that not everyone should be married, have children, live monogamously or be heterosexual. We must understand that our view of the world is simply our perspective and what is comfortable for us, is not necessarily what is comfortable for others. With the exception of preventing physical, emotional or mental harm to others, we should not force a fixed agenda of sexual correctness on others.
   
5) We must better study pedophiles and provide counseling to prevent child abuse. We must become more aware of the alarming rate of sexual assault on children. The government needs to work with the adult industry not against them to help prevent child abuse. We must also teach our children about standing up for their sexual rights and the importance of them keeping people from violating them.
   
6) We should refrain from demeaning name calling of others when it comes to sexuality. Calling people sluts, whores, bitches, pimps, etc. encourages a superficial sexual environment and black and white thinking.
   
7) We must encourage people to explore their sexuality thorough masturbation, meditation, and sometimes counseling. Learning what pleases, nurtures and heals us first, will help us to communicate to our sexual partner(s) what we need mentally, emotionally and physically to be sexually fulfilled.
   
8) We need to have frank discussion about sexual health with teenagers. We need sex education on STD's, prevention and birth control. Using factual medical information will not cause harm to them. In fact, it can prevent harm. If moral concerns are present, then it is up to the parents to have discussions that encourage a child to do what is right for them based on facts, not fear tactics.
 
9) We should not be prohibited from exploring sexuality through sexual aids such as lubricants and sex toys. Being creative in the bedroom allows us to explore ourselves and our pleasure. It is a gift that we have been given at birth to enjoy our sexuality and living in a world where we fear our own sexuality denies us of a basic human right.
 
10) Consumers should be taught about sex toy and product health risks including information about toxic materials used in sex toys.
 
11) We need to live in a society that creates laws based on freedom of religion and from religion when it comes to our sex lives.

Auto Sex in Car with Penis Pump
September 2006

A Slovak driver who crashed into a bus shocked rescuers who found him unconscious and half naked with a vacuum pump on his penis. Police said the 42-year-old man, driving an old Citroen in the Slovak town of Levice, had ignored a “give way” sign. “It’s very likely he had auto-sex while driving, it is a matter of investigation. After the accident he was found lying in the seat, his pants were off and it (the pump) was placed on his penis,” police officer Peter Polak told Reuters. “I’ve never seen anything like this, nor have my colleagues,” he added. The man was taken to hospital with head injuries.

 

Man Needed Surgery After Sex With Hedgehog
September 2006

A Serbian man needed emergency surgery after he had sex with a hedgehog on a witchdoctor’s advice. Zoran Nikolovic, 35, from Belgrade, says the witchdoctor told him it would cure his premature ejaculation. But he ended up in an operating room after the hedgehog’s needles left his penis severely lacerated. A hospital spokesman said: “The animal was apparently unhurt and the patient came off much worse from the encounter. We have managed to repair the damage to his penis.”

 

Cop Arrests Cop In Prostitution Sting
September 2006

A police sting took an odd turn when an officer pretending to be a john met a prostitute who was pretending to be an officer to scam him. The woman got in his car and they went to a nearby parking lot to negotiate a price for sex. She asked the officer if he was a cop and he said no. “That’s OK, because I am,” the woman said as she pulled out handcuffs and a two-way radio. She barked into the radio: “Move in!”

Police believed these people were going to rob people or extort money charged. The prostitute Lisa Greene, 31, with first-degree criminal impersonation, prostitution and fifth-degree conspiracy. Elena Irwin, 20, was charged with fifth-degree conspiracy and possession of a hypodermic needle.

Orgasm Is The Best Gift To Give
September 2006

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria is not embarrassed to admit she did not have an orgasm until she was 26 years old, insisting the wait was perfectly normal. The 31-year-old actress was married in her early 20s to fellow soap star Tyler Christopher and claims most women don’t have orgasms until they’re older, if they even manage to have them at all.

“Most women never do. Nine out of ten of my girlfriends never experienced an orgasm before 30 or before a sex toy… or something else,” she was quoted by Contactmusic, as saying.

Her stats are off, as women are much more aware of their sexuality.

Penis Transplant Successful, Then Reversed!
September 2006

Surgeons in China who performed the first successful penis transplant had to remove the donated organ because of the severe psychological problems it caused to the recipient and his wife.

The microsurgery to attach the penis, which had been donated by the parents of a 22-year-old brain-dead man, was successful but Hu and his team removed it two weeks later.

“Because of a severe psychological problem of the recipient and his wife, the transplanted penis regretfully had to be cut off,” Hu said in a report published online by the peer reviewed journal European Urology, without elaborating.

Rape Down Because Porn Up?
September 2006

An academic has claimed that a decline in reported rape of 85% in the past 25 years can be tied to an increase in pornography consumption. In a study for Northwestern University's Public Law and Legal Theory Research Paper Series titled "Porn Up Rape Down," Anthony D'Amato, a Leighton Professor of Law at Northwestern University, argues that the increase of accessibility of pornography has lead to a sharp decline in rape across the United States.

Police Chief Resigns Over Wife's Nude Pictures
September 2006

An uproar over an adult web site featuring nude photos of Snyder Police Chief Tod Ozmun's wife has resulted in his resignation and that of the mayor and a councilman.

A resident in the town was looking at porn and saw her pictures on the Internet and out of complete immaturity and hypocrisy, began passing out pictures of her in town and insisting that her husband should be fired for this.

Mayor Dale Moore said, "He was not involved in these, and he has broken no laws. He's done more drug arrests, solved more crimes than anybody else in town has ever done."

Doris Ozmun released a statement in her defense: "Hi, my name is Doris Ozmun. I am a 43-year-old adult model. I am in no way affiliated with the Snyder Police Department other than the fact I am married to the chief of police, Tod Ozmun. The Web site I am featured on is in no way affiliated with the Snyder Police Department nor the city of Snyder. "I have done nothing illegal, and it is my First Amendment right of the Constitution. You do not have to like or agree with what I do for me to be protected by the First Amendment right."

Anti-Porn Groups & Dub-ya
September 2006

Patrick Trueman of the Family Research Council has sent a letter to President Bush requesting a meeting about the distribution of what the letter calls “illegal pornography.”

“I’ve seen families absolutely destroyed by the blight of pornography. Pornography does not lead anyone to anything good, it becomes a financial drain on the family like any addiction does, and often leads to violence against women.”

High among those critical tasks, according to the site, is fighting pornography, stating, “These [adult entertainment] businesses often result in increased crime, as well as spiritual entrapment for those who are caught in pornography’s lure, or who are physically exploited for material gain,” according to the site.
