Your size my fault

Okay, before I get going with this one, please understand that the intent of this post is to inform and promote awareness, so as to improve future decision-making... hopefully ;-) However, if the shoe fits, or in this case the condom, then sport it!

Sexual compatibility can make or break a relationship, as we all know. In fact, there seems to be some tension between guys who fit into Magnum condoms and guys who fit into Trojan condoms. Guys, please hear me out on this one... Stop giving women a hard time because of your "inadequacies." Chances are she identified your issue before you revealed it to her. Chances also are that she actually cares about you despite it. So, try coming to terms with it yourself, instead of taking your frustration out on her. Breaking up with her is probably not the most effective strategy. And remember, what goes around, comes around ;-)

Ladies... you know I love you all. Besides, I'm a lady myself. But I have to warn my sisters to stop treating men according to a hierarchy of size. Bigger does not mean better... More importantly, his ability to provide for you and protect you and the family is not dependent on his size. Guys, stop acting like the two (abilities outside the bedroom and abilities in the bedroom) are interrelated.

Likewise, guys... Just because you're extraordinarily endowed does not make you "The Man." There's more work to go into an actual relationship, other than what you can bring to the bed. Can you even change a tire? How about a light bulb?

Look for scenarios related to this topic in my next book, which is due to be published in February 2012, just in time for my book signing party on February 11th ;-)

Anti-HIV gel for women!

A vaginal gel that reduces a woman's risk of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)?! And it's even more effective against genital herpes as it is HIV?!

Yes, it's true.

The name of the gel is "Tenofovir Gel." It works by penetrating the skin and disrupting an enzyme that the Virus needs to duplicate itself.

The bad news is that it has not been FDA-approved yet, Sorry! We can expect a minimum 4-year wait before Tenofovir Gel is available =(

Stop Killing BLACK WOMEN

More Black women are dying! Triple Negative breast cancer is disproportionately killing Black women. Research shows an unequal receipt of "prompt, high-quality treatment" for Black women, compared to White women. Recent studies also report a 77% survival rate among Black women, compared to a 90% survival rate of White women.

Triple Negative breast cancer, an invasive ductal carcinoma, which grows and spreads faster than other types of breast cancers. Triple Negative breast cancer is more common and more aggressive in younger Black women. It is difficult to treat, as hormone therapy and certain (HER2 targeted) drugs have proven to be ineffective, and chemotherapy is possibly a necessary treatment option.

Please take the time to self-examine your breasts every month. Self examination should begin no later than your 20th birthday. If you're unsure about how to examine your breasts, ask your health care provider or visit the nearest health department. Also ask about early screening options, such as mammogram, clinical breast exam, ultrasound, and MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
