When the Apostle Paul declared that women shall cover their heads during worship who knew a biblical commandment would have such a profound impact on fashion. Our for-Sistas dating back to African American roots and beyond to the mother land, Africa, today's modern Afro-American women wears centuries of heritage on their heads. "I think it's because it's rooted in the African tradition that says that when one presents oneself before God… that you should be at your best –- that you should present excellence before the Almighty," says Craig Marberry co-author of Crowns. Well even if you have no intention of dressing to the Nines for the "Almighty" you can't deny that Church Ladies bring majestic wisdom refined beauty to the fashion world.
As the early 20th century was finding it's footing Afro-Americans were beginning to enjoy some limited independence. "Sunday church services provided African American women who worked as domestic servants or in other subservient roles the only real chance to break away from their drab, dreary workday uniforms. says Michael Cunningham of Time Magazine and co-author of Crowns. The women typically went for textured fabrics, bright colors and of course the key ingredient flamboyancy, some of the hats I see today have it all over Liberacci in that department. A matching ensemble is also important to the outfit; shoes, pocket book and gloves but I don't need to tell you ladies that right ;)
Hats also served as status symbols.

I've tried everything possible!
I've read that my medication that I'm taking can cause some sexual side effects, but I wouldn't think the inability to have an orgasm would be one of them.
Unless the makers of this medication just want to torture others ):
I've tried masturbation, toys, lubricant, ribbed/textured condoms, everything, and nothing works.

I'm sure I might get some familiar readers on this topic from before. I have noticed with the past sexual partners that I have had and really only two people have I had reoccurring sex with, I do not seem to reach climax. I get this strong sensation, but nothing amazing like my partner does when he climaxes or what other women talk about.

6 Sex Mistakes Women Make
By Lisa Zamosky
Ladies, be honest: when your sex life becomes a little humdrum, out comes the mental catalogue of all the ways your partner isn’t quite measuring up. Guys tend to get a bad rap when it comes to understanding women’s bodies and what turns us on, making them easy targets in the blame game when sexual satisfaction starts to wane. And sure, they make their fair share of bedroom errors.

It's been a while since I've posted... a long time since my conjunctivitis incident (thanks again for the advice)! Anyway, it's been a long time since I first started out as a BPJ and I've tried tons of products (much to the dismay of my husband and credit card statement) and had mixed experiences, as I'm sure you've had too.
