Loose Threads, Vol. 9—Best of April ’09
Hey, Sock Heads. Y’all should know the drill by now. It’s the end of the month so it’s time for Loose Threads. This is my end-of-the-month series where I give readers a chance to catch up on a few good posts that may have fell through the cracks. For this month’s edition I’m turning the [...]
The Giant Pumpkin Caper (Why I Never Liked Halloween)
Growing up, I never really got to experience Halloween. My grandfather, who basically raised me along with my mother, was a very religious man and ideas of it being a pagan holiday were constantly drilled in my head. With that said, I really can’t recall ever going out trick or treatin’ or wearing a costume [...]
Dating Tips For Interracial Relationships (Do You Approve?)
About a year ago I wrote about my personal views on interracial dating. To be completely honest, I’ve never seriously dated or been intimate with a woman that wasn’t Black besides this one time I linked up with a Latina lover. It’s not that I have any issue with women of other races; I just [...]
The Sexy Commuter (Are You Too Old For Dry Humping?)
It was supposed to be a regular Wednesday morning. I got dressed for work and headed out to catch the 9:04am train. When I got to the train station, though, the platform seemed more crowded than usual. I figured there were delays so I walked down a bit to give myself a better chance of [...]
Guys That Holla at Pregnant Women (Have You No Shame?)
Last week I asked women how they liked men to approach them. Although I didn’t really get the answers I was looking for I did get some inspiration for today’s topic. One of the earlier comments on that blog came from Shequita, who recounted a time when a man tried to holla at her while [...]
Why Is Prostitution Illegal? (Freedom of Choice)
I was reading my boy BlogXilla’s blog (say that 3x fast) the other day and came across an interesting post entitled “I Can Chose to Abort, But I Can’t Pick the Price of My Pu**y.” Aside from the eye-catching headline, I was drawn to click the link because I had a very strong feeling I [...]
Overprotective Fathers (Would You Kill For Your Kids?)
I’m not a parent but I imagine that I’ll be willing to do anything to protect the fruit of my loins. However, what I’ve read in the news over the past few days involving fathers and their daughters teeters on the extreme side. Over the weekend HipHopWired reported that a Florida man by the name [...]
Can You Be a Virgin Again? (The Artificial Virginity Hymen)
A while back I did a post called “Do Men Really Want to Marry Virgins? (The Purity Myth)” that wound up being one of my most popular blog entries with 230+ comments. Basically, I expressed my belief that while the idea of marrying a virgin sounds nice in theory, most guys would actually rather their [...]
