The 30 year old child: Why do Lesbians not mature with time ?

We are selfish, desire driven, drama queen, lust motivated women who are destroying our very own environment by opening the door to continuous and poisonous drama. Have you ever found yourself at a Lesbian soiree and come to the conclusion that they all live at home, no potential career, no class and no general ambition unless it’s to indulge in drama. Lesbians would make great drama script writers but instead they opt for the minimal that life has to offer. Why are we not prone to bettering ourselves ? Is working as a waitress and in sales all we are worthy of complying to ? Any job is an honest job but when we have been given the opportunities so many seek why do we conform to being unambitious individuals ? If you walk into She bar you will mostly find women who have opted...

THE SEXPERT: Let’s Speak Lesbianese

Lesbian sex isn't defined by toys but by our natural instinct and given equipment: fingers work just as well as dildos. What makes so many fantasise about lesbian sex ? We are the epidemie for every straight man and straight woman’s sexual fantasy that all men want a threesome with two women and straight women actively seek a lesbian experience. Do we let off some secret sexual musk that strokes your g-spot ? We all know far too well that for thousands of years, lesbian sex has been portrayed through literature and art - as well as practiced in ancient Greece and Rome. Even Cleopatra was one to indulge in the forbidden fruit. It is clear that lesbians are perceived as a sex symbol. I believe that this is the only reason why lesbians are more accepted in society then gay ...

Here’s why you’d better come out

Coming out of the closet allows you to confirm your identity and feel acknowledged. But it can't be an obligation. It has to be your choice. Coming out of the closet can be hard. It can stress you out, especially if you live in a highly homophobic family and/or environment. Whoever has already come out knows the benefits that come after speaking the truth. But we all remember the insecurities and unbearable pain before coming out. Almost all non-heterosexual people (in particular those born in the XX century) spent years and years denying their real sexual orientation. Some still do and hide in the closet, but that's a different story. Those among us who have overcome fear and shame know how better life can be once out of the closet. Nonetheless, in some cases, it's not as easy as i...

SEX TOY OF THE MONTH: THE DOUBLE PLEASER

We must not be ashamed of exploring our sexuality. We have all endured the strap-on phase. But this is the strap-on of the century ! At 6 inches long and only 5 inches of insertable pleasure it strikes a woman’s G-spot just right. I have spent years searching for the Holy Grail of toys and here she is ! At £24.99 with free delivery Harmony have created the perfect gift either for you or your partner. The dildo is not too soft but firm enough to not slip out or snap when carrying out certain positions. We know far too well of those awkward moments when the dildo slips out aggressively, hurting our vaginas and causing us to no longer want to persevere. This strap-on initially frightened me as do most sex toys but I cannot keep running away. Without my partner knowing, I took one fo...

The Transexual Heroine: from suicide to hope

With a handful of pills and a bottle of vodka, she was moments away from ending her life. My opinions are mostly not appreciated within the community. I for one, shall not be dictated to think and to believe a certain way. The transgender movement is mostly formulated based on a fashion statement or used to drive and push a specific agenda. The transgender community does not include transexuals and post ops. The transgender community is one of fiction whereby men and women randomly chose days on which they will either dress a certain way and behave in a certain manner. The issue with this movement is that it is costing the taxpayer a little fortune in unnecessary bills such as the re-issuing of public toilets, signs, incomprehensible legal aid etc. This little fortune could be spent on sa...

Love at first sight or oversight?

Some people believe in love at first sight because it's just what happened to them. What about you? From personal experience or by hearsay, you know what love at first sight is. You probably know how it feels when two "halves" meet and love happens. Nonetheless, you may not be aware of what dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and pheromones are, and how they affect your mood when you're in love. The former is the result of our pop and "romantic" (and cheesy) culture. The latter are chemistry and biology. When you start dating someone you know nothing about - but somehow you like and feel attracted to - your brain starts secreting a series of hormones and chemical substances that dramatically alter their natural balance all over your body. This is why you get euphoric, a bit anxious or em...

PrEP – What you need is a correct information – Pt.2

Life is too short to have no care for you! Our journey into the world of PrEP continues with the help of Pietro, an expert at the Milan Checkpoint PrEP counter. We had left ourselves in Pt.1 with many questions and answers and now let's continue from here. What is its correct use for a prophylaxis that works? For PrEP to work, correct adherence is required, i.e.: taking suggested doses according to the established schedule, otherwise, the concentration of the drug in your mucous membranes is not sufficient to give effective protection from HIV. Depending on personal needs and lifestyles, it is possible to take PrEP every day, or only in view of sexual intercourse, with different dosages. Over time, it is possible to change the intake timing, or even stop the cure for a period of tim...

Reason or feeling? The eternal war.

When feelings and emotions are stronger and more powerful than reason, we are screwed up. We humans think of ourselves as rational beings. Nonetheless, we are pretty much emotional. When our emotions are particularly intense, they can confuse and make us believe bullshit that, in our minds, become undisputed truth. Only on second thought, we realize we were wrong. Emotions drive children, not adults. Allowing feelings more than logic to run our lives as grownups is much less beautiful and romantic than what may seem. It is quite dangerous, actually. Childish attitudes and immature manners are not values nor virtues. They are just proof of uncompleted growth and development. Something in many of us, people LGBTQ+, has remained undeveloped. Those who suffered from homophobic attacks a...

Two years ago The Conservatives got to the power, and still nothing has changed to completely avoid those harmful conversion therapies.

It was in their LGBT+ Action Plan. In this plan, that you can fully read here, The Conservative government described “gay cures” as “abuse of the worst kind” and therefore promised to end conversion therapy as a priority. But, almost two years later they haven’t still been completely banned as it happened in other countries. Kemi Badenoch, Equalities Minister, that called conversion therapies “a very complex issue” said that the government had not decided yet how to proceed on this matter, but we’d like to remind them that they promised a formal consultation in July 2019, long before the outbreak of coronavirus. As we can read also on The Independent , there is still no fixed agenda for this consultation and she also made no mention of the promised one of 2019. She added: “There a...

PrEP: what you need is a correct information – Pt.1

There is still a long way to go when it comes to correct information about PrEP: this dark shade on it puts us in the risk of falling into mistakes and harming our-selves even more in the attempt of taking care of us. We had a chat with Pietro Vinti, responsible manager of the PrEP desk of the Milan Checkpoint - an association which offers medical and psychological support - to whom we asked a series of questions about PrEP we received from our readers. What does PrEP Mean? PrEP stands for Pre Exposure Prophylaxis. It means that by taking a specific drug before a risky sexual relationship, for example sex without condom, you can prevent the transmission of the HIV virus. The drug used was born to keep the virus under control in people who already live with HIV, but in many years of obse...
