It Gets Better

The anit-bullying campaign, It Gets Better, has shared some phenomenol videos in an effort to end youth violence and create a safe environment for all youth. I encourage every adult, but especially parents and teachers, to review these messages for your own 'teachable moment' for your kids.

Adults MUST address bullying and create a safe environment. Take the lead. Help a kid. They'll be thankful!

Sexually Smarter: A Little Anal Retentive How the Far Right Tried to Rebrand a Conversation about Sex Education

Medically accurate, age appropriate, comprehensive sex education based on Dr. Dennis Dailey's Circles Model teaches from a holistic approach. It is based in the premise that our sexuality is a positive and healthy aspect of our life.  Bill Taverner continues to be one of the most well-spoken sex educators out there reaching his audience with wisdom and humor. With a bit of panache, Bill addresses an attack by anti-comprehensive sex education folks in his recent blog...

Jamie Lee- A PFlag Angel

PFLAG, Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays has a strong history of advocacy and support. Just when parents or those questioning their sexual orientation feel that they have no where to turn, its a smiling face or a warm embrace from a PFLAG member that can be the turning point to healing. As a clinician, I often recommend patients who need support attend a local meeting. They have resources to read, supportive members to chat with and educational programs. Coming out is a L-O-N-G journey and its nice to have good friends with words of encouragement on the way. PFLAG-KC general meetings are held on the second Sunday of each month at 3:00 pm at The Village Presbyterian Church, 6641 Mission Road, Room 307, Prairie Village, KS. (The meeting room is wheelchair accessible.) For more info visit: http://www.pflagkc.org/  or call the help line at (816) 765-9818  or write

Online Dating Tips

Recently an online dating site, Okcupid, researched peoples profile pix. They found some interesting things that might help you in your search for romance. First, smiling didnt matter in the pix and neither did a closeup head shot. People high up on a mountain top surrounded by lots of scenery got lots of hits too. The #1 factor that increased hits: "Conversation-ability"... an interesting photo that sparked interest in you! So you and your bike or you in your favorite party dress with a quirky smile sitting in your living room. The simple hint... be interesting!
Specifically for the gals:
1) Be flirtatious in the photo. Eyes, eyes and more eyes!
2) Look into the camera. Guys want to think you are connecting with them
3) Avoid harsh flash. It adds years to your age and washes you out.
Specifically for the guys:
1) Dont look into the camera. It makes you look like a stalker and ladies get creeped out when you stare at them at the bar too!
2) Puppy Power! Gals responded to guys showing their personal side (i.e. Interesting), so borrow a dog!
3) No dog... show the Abs. I know, I know... Im just reporting what they found, but they say Ab shots got lots of  hits.
Finally, update your pix frequently and dont be afraid to initiate the asking. Sometimes dating can be a numbers game. You cant win if you dont play! I once told a friend who was 'trying to get a date' that the only trying that she was doing was hoping that the Pizza delivery guy was a prospect. You gotta get out there, diversify where you meet people and cast a wide net. Remember dating is about having fun and learning about perspective romantic partners, but dont take it personally if there wasnt a connection. Enjoy the journey!

Exciting New Sex Study

Welcome to our very first post! We hope you enjoy the information and pass along the resource to your friends and colleageus.

An exciting new sex study recently came out in the Journal of Sexual Medicine (2010) revealing interesting facts on our sexual behaviors. Check out the highlights at Dr. Oz and learn more about bridging the orgasm differences for men and women. Remember not every Big "O" is all that big and thats okay, and rarely do we simultaneously reach our destinations. Men and women are wired differently, so learn to enjoy the journey.
