taking care of business

recently, a three year old article linking oral sex to throat cancer resurfaced and got twitter all aflutter. 

without repeating some of the ridiculousness that emerged in our timelines, here's a summary of what's known:

there are about 100 different strains of HPV, and exposure is common. out of those 100 strains, about 30 can be sexually transmitted, but not all of these lead to what we commonly think of as herpes or cancerous cells.

one way to reduce risk of transmission during vaginal oral sex is to use a dental dam. about.com has some basic instructions on how to make one. for fellatio, condoms are helpful, but not as effective as they are for preventing some other STIs, as the epigee article points out.*

so, enjoy your dessert...but do so responsibly.

take care, beloveds!

the word

today's word is an inspiring, challenging question from the super hussy herself, aiesha turman--director of the black girl project and all around fly mama. it reads:

The minute you stop caring what other people think; the minute you stop trying to control outcomes; the minute you decide to adhere to your core beliefs; the minute that other folks' constructs have no bearing on your life; the minute you realize that you are the prize...is the minute that you are free. Are you free?

beloveds, are you free?

"i fall in love with myself, and i want someone to share it with me."

the word

today's reading comes to us from the candamaharosana tantra. when a devotee asks, "my darling, my joy, how shall the yogi know your form?", Mama answers:

I come in the form of women of all classes and trades,
And I am mother, sister and wife,
Aunt and niece,
Great-aunt and mother-in-law,
And every other kind of female relation.
And I am every tantric practitioner and yogini,
And widow and ascetic.
I take the forms of all these women
Who now live to serve all sentient beings.

"everlasting love"

When I feel you dreaming
I think of sunsets
How high my high gets

[Chorus:]
I wanna give to you an everlasting love
I fill your life with a satisfying love
All you need is an everlasting love
All you want is a satisfying (mystifying) love

Sun breezes, moonlight teases
Friendly invasion
Late night persuasion

[Chorus]

Each time you pass me by
You saw me fade away
I'll give you more each day
