  Posted by Shemuses from New York Times

- Celebrate Global Orgasm for Peace Day
  Posted by Shemuses from Alternet
  When anti-war activists Paul Reffell and Donna Sheehan planned their latest peace-making project -- the synchronized global orgasm -- to fall on Dec. 22, they may not have realized that it's the last Friday before Christmas.

Stripper For A Day

Wikipedia describes striptease as a performance, usually a dance, in which the performer “strips off clothing to arouse sexual desire by displaying the naked body in motion. The ‘teasing’ part involves the slowness of undressing, while the audience is eager to see more nudity. Delay tactics include additional clothes being removed, putting clothes or hands in front of just undressed body parts. Emphasis is on the act of undressing along with sexually suggestive movement.” Tara’s one-night stand with striptease is worth to read.
Judgement or not, you had to find out something for yourself and you did. I think you should ultimately feel proud of yourself for being the kind of person whom is honest with themselves and honest with others. Any man should appreciate a sexualized heteorsexual woman and her desire to be desired.
