AIDS & WAR NO LONGER A DEATH SENTENCE FOR UGANDAN CHILDREN

There is a feeling of connection, of emotion, a narrative of the human condition evident when the 22 member dance troupe known as the Spirit of Uganda perform. From out of the ruins of Aids and War that has claimed the parents of approximately 2.4 million Ugandan Children over the past 20
years, a compelling spirit of pure radiant joy has awoken.

Alex Hefley, a former Texas banker visited Uganda in 1993 where she watched orphans dancing for tourists to earn money.  Wondering about the existence of community, the existence of intimacy, Alex said, “I found it in these orphanages – I saw magic.”

These children’s talent and passion inspired Alex to join together working with the nuns from the Daughters of Charity orphanage in Kampala in the organization of a traveling dance troupe.
Their goals are focused on giving the problems within Uganda a human face, raising awareness and raising money.  The Spirit of Uganda dance troupe travel across the United States every 2
years.  They are helping support the hundreds of orphans in Uganda. 

Some children who audition for the ensemble earn scholarships for attending US Universities.  Upon graduating they return home to Uganda and aid in rebuilding their country.

As one dancer expresses, “People think, these children have lost their parents.  They’ve had so
many problems.  But then they see us perform.  They see our smiles.  And they learn that life goes on.”

Loss can give us the strength to move forward in life.  As these children are showing us Aids and
War do not have to be a continuing death sentence through the generations.

PREGNANCY BY DESIGN

The dizzying pace set by the electronics age is intimately making its way into the joy of sex with DuoFertility.  Making a baby has never been easier.  DuoFertility, a smallish rubber plaster attaches under a woman’s arm and measures her body temperature with accuracy that has not been heard of before.

Basal body temperature is seen as the key to predicting ovulation.  When holding the matching reader close to the button sized plaster, information is transmitted and an indicator shows whether
it is the right time for making that baby.

The DuoFertility adds a whole new dimension to planning a pregnancy. As simple as it seems this
clinical approach to conception may come with more than expected. 

Being sex crazed may not be enough to keep the playfulness alive when the procreation timer buzzes. 

With high expectations being placed on doing sex to make baby, there is a possibility that things can go wrong. “Performance anxiety“ increases stress and takes out the joy of sex.

SEX COUNCIL IS NOW IN SESSION

Gentle readers,
consider yourselves warned.  We are not your typical or predictable blog writers.  There is a rather large white elephant in the living room and we are going to expose it, and yes, You are going to see it!

We have a mischievous streak that makes you look over your shoulder when you’re hanging about with us.  You see our wicked sense of humor rearing it’s impishly grinning head throughout the writing of society sensitive topics, in particular the myths surrounding sex and sexuality. 

This whole sex/sexuality thing is complicated.  Why on earth do we suddenly realize one fateful day that we have an almost uncontrollable yearning for what society considers as morally taboo?

The answer to this question pretty well sums up what it is that we at Sex Myths Exposed  will be acheiving.

Instead of merely exposing sex myths, we prefer to examine the mechanics behind them. To understand and challenge why we believe in sex myths. Sex myths can be dangerous when they become self-fulfilling prophecies. We expose what your
immediate future will look like and paradoxically examine the complication of
our emotions that are behind us in believing in sex myths.

Imagine being ahead of the sex game in your life. More often than not, you will see us being the sceptic of sex myths. An integral part of placing sexual power  back where it belongs. In your hands.

It’s funny.  We never thought that we would be here in this place, talking with you.  Through the sharing of your lives in the real world with us, we are building the community that you have been asking for.

This community is a connection where you get to kick around the “conversation” ball with other like minded people, on sexual topics that are of interest
to you.  This is your playground, your Tween and Teens playground.  Converse and join in the game.

It is important to have allies in the world. One’s who will bounce the “conversation” ball back and forth, and where you get to call the shots by telling us what it is that
you want to know.   

To get the ball rolling, leave your comments after our posts. Tell us what you think.

 Here is a Forum where you can have your say or hear other peoples’ stories.

                                                     http://teenstweens.18.forumer.com/

If you are capable of dreaming of more pleasure and satisfaction in your life, then it is a part of you.  Together as a community we can make your dream into a reality.
