Loose Threads, Vol. 11—Best Blogs of June ’09
Hey, Sock Heads. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and spent quality time with family and friends. I for one did and, in fact, still am. Although I’m still off celebrating my born day, I didn’t want to leave you guys/gals high and dry. Like I do every month, I pulled together some of my [...]
Do You Like It Rough? (Calling Out Names)
Last month, I treated you regular Wet Wednesdays readers to a special repost the day before Thanksgiving. It was actually my very first piece of erotic writing, “I Found Love in This Club,” that was published back in 2000 by The Source as part of their then-annual sex package. In an effort to switch things [...]
Do All Black Men Want White Women? (Tiger’s Jungle Fever)
Week before last, I finally buckled under the pressure and wrote a blog about Tiger Woods. I don’t know about y’all, but I’m tired of waking up to more “shocking scandal” about the former all-American golfer. Yet, like a train wreck, I sometimes find myself unable to look away. Still, my plan was to walk [...]
Would You Trade Sex For Child Support? Baby Daddy Drama

What if Rihanna Hit Chris First? (Abuse or Self-Defense?)
Last month I came across an interesting video clip on Bossip that showed a couple getting into a heated argument outside of a club. The incident happened in Trinidad so I couldn’t quite decipher all of the particulars through their heavy accents, but one thing was for sure—the woman was beating his ass. Over a [...]
Online Dating Tips For Men & Women (Computer Love)
Online dating has never been my thing. The idea of hitting the Net for the specific purpose of “meeting someone” just always came off a little bit lame to me. In the same token, I’d be lying if I said I never hooked up with someone I met on the Internet. In my defense, though, [...]
Would You Sleep With Your Ex Again? (The Breakup, Pt. 4)
A decision had to be made. I had just dropped Paula home and Monica was riding shotgun. We approached the next intersection and came to a red light. My blinkers weren’t on but I had to make a turn. I just wasn’t sure which way I was going. I could turn left and just drop [...]
The Death of Black Love (Why Do Black Relationships Fail?)
Last week, I wrote a piece entitled “Will I Be a Good Husband? (Loving a Workaholic is Hard)” that questioned my priorities in life. It was an honest, personal reflection and voiced the realities of one of my biggest fears. The resulting discussion and comments were very therapeutic for me (thanx for those that chimed [...]
