SexXX

Hey guys!

I just had a couple of quick things that I wanted to share with you all!

So I literally just found this video on my Facebook newsfeed not too long ago… and honestly, it kind of blew my mind. It also led me to some interesting thoughts. 

I found this video of a woman pole dancing. Okay, now first off I want to address the taboos that society has behind pole dancers and, well… strippers in general. 

I find it interesting that as a society we think that it’s degrading for women to strip or to pole dance, when, at least in my opinion, it’s kind of applaud-able. 

To me, I think it’s amazing to see women who have the courage to be proud of their bodies and to embrace their sexuality. I think often times in modern society, women are typically too afraid of embracing their sexuality for fear of being called a slut (which, remind me is ANOTHER topic that I need to write on soon… you all will be subjected to my thoughts of the word ‘slut’). 

I mean, granted, it’s not a good thing if people are stripping because that’s the only way to make money - but even then, I think that those women are doing what they believe they have to do for themselves and/or their families. 

But pole dancing is especially incredible to me because clearly, those women who pole dance have a LOT of body strength. This particular video shows this women literally holding herself in the air and not even wobbling or appearing to shake! 

I’m happy that a lot of people are starting to recognize this as an actual strength activity, though, with many classes teaching pole dancing (you can click here to learn more about a variation of those classes… they are called X-Pole Dance at Crunch fitness).

I am really impressed with this woman, though, for taking the normal thoughts of pole dancing and putting this particular dance into more of an artistic context. Some or even many of you may feel differently, but personally, I think this girl is amazing. Here is the video for your viewing pleasures:

Hey!

So I just wanted to let you guys know that I WILL be posting REAL blogs verrryyy soon. :)

I’m trying to make sure that when I write about topics that I get certain facts straight and I want to make sure that I am giving you guys the best information possible!

And of course, in addition to this blog, I have my own bundle of classes and “actual” work and extra-curricular activities.

So what this means is that I will likely only post full blogs (unless I find something small to show in between!) only once or twice a week. 

BUT, never fear! I will be sure to update as often as possible to keep you all happy. :)

I am currently already working on blog post number one and it will be out, hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday! 

Good deal?

Alright, just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page!

Yeah, I’m not feeling the layout of this blog right now. 

It’s mildly distracting.

I will likely change it soon, though, just give me some time, guys! :)

Update: Changed the layout… I think this one is a LOT cleaner. Awesome, guys. Welcome to the blog. :)

WRONG!

For those of you who don’t know, sexuality has NOTHING to do with virginity.

My dear friend, Merriam-Webster may even be half-wrong. Merriam-Webster’s definition of sexuality is “the quality or state of being sexual.”

Well, M-W, you have the whole part about it pertaining to sex right. But does sexuality actually mean that you are participating in sexual acts?

Dictionary.com seems to have a slightly better definition: “sexual character; possession of the structural and functional traits of sex.”

The first part of dictionary.com’s definition is probably the most accurate, in my opinion.

Sexuality is an all-encompassing definition of a person’s sexual character. 

Sexual character, to me, includes a person’s sexual behavior, sexual preference/thoughts, sexual orientation, sexual desires, sexual history/present/future, sexual style, etc.

Everything that makes up YOUR personal sexual character has to do with your sexuality, whether you are sexually active or not.

Often times, people tend to confuse sexuality with sexual orientation or virginity - neither of the two, for the record, are synonymous with sexuality. 

So my friends, I’m writing this as my first entry to let you all know that when I use the word sexuality, you know MUCH better as to the meaning. 

And for the record, I will likely use this word a LOT more… just as a heads up. ;)
