Be Not Ashamed Women

[Natalie Nessus]

be not ashamed women, your privilege encloses the rest, and is the exist of the rest,
you are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul

I sing the body electric

A fragment of "Honor to the Goddess..." By Karen Lynd Cushen

'Take, Eat, This is My Body 'Take, Drink, This is My Blood
Which shall Rise in You The emptied Cup shall be
& Be Made Whole.' Refilled.'

Goddess of the Harvest,
the fruit of Whose joy in the return of Your Daughter,
sustains us even as You make bleak the earth
at Her leaving.

The earth is rent
& Persephone
the Maiden Whose name may not be spoken
is swallowed by the land of the dead.

She will come again,
in Whose footfalls spring the flowers & the grain
carrying up with Her
Dark memories of whence She came.

Demeter
Near in our grief
because yearly we see Your own sorrow
ravage the face of earth
& Your Daughter
Close as the hour of our death
because yearly death claims Her
We know hope because we remember
again & again
Persephone healing Herself
& You with Her, rising.

From "The Spiral Dance" by StarHawk

We can style our hair in different ways from braids to elegant styles. Our soft curvy figures. The bearer of children. These are few things I like about being a woman.

This, I think, is Beautiful

It's easy to be independent when you've got money.
But to be independent
when you haven't a thing,
that's the Lords test.

Contrary to common belief, and many women's expectations, cunnilingus is not a natural skill that every man and lesbian is born with. Cunnilingus is a learned skill. If you do not take the time to teach or learn this skill, you will never fully enjoy the benefits. Every woman is different, so no matter how good someone was at giving a woman oral pleasure in the past, they still need to relearn their technique if they change partners. Women cannot compare notes tit for tat as they are never exactly the same in likes and dislikes. There are physical and psychological reasons for this. While everyone would like to read a detailed "How-To-Guide," there is no way of creating one that is accurate for all women. At most, one can only give ideas and basic hints. Finding and reading women's first hand accounts is perhaps the best way to get new ideas, but the individual woman is the only one who can tell you what is enjoyable for her and works best.

Female sexual arousal and orgasm is a complex process involving the entire woman, mind and body. The human mind receives in sexual stimuli from the body, processes it, and based on past learning and experience causes the body to respond to it. The brain may start the sexual arousal process in response to thought (sexual fantasy), visual stimuli (seeing a partner nude), audible stimulation (hearing a partner's voice), olfactory stimuli (the smell of a partner's body), and taste (the taste of a partner's body). The body may start the arousal process as the result of a woman, or her partner, touching her genitals or breasts, the feel of air flowing across her exposed skin, or her cloths stimulating her breasts or genitals. The mind and body while able to experience sexual arousal separately, cannot experience orgasm separately. Orgasm requires both the mind and body to work together. Mental thought alone may result in orgasm, but you still feel the orgasm in your body. All the sexual stimulation and arousal may originate in one or the other, but orgasm takes place in both.

Clitoral massage is an excellent skill to have at your disposal when making love to a woman. While most couples probably engage in a little diddling of the vulva and clitoris prior to intercourse, few would consider making it the main course. If you really want to impress your female partner, consider making her the center of attention by giving her a clitoral massage.

 

[Natalie Nessus]

In order for women to be sexual and enjoy sex, they must accept that they are sexual beings. If you do not acknowledge this, or deny it, then sexual pleasure and happiness cannot be achieved. A woman's hormones, to a certain degree, control her actions. When our body feels it is ready for sex, to reproduce, it tells the brain to seek out sex. When this happens, we think about sex more often and with a greater urgency, we become sexual beings. While women's sex drives are often cyclic, as the result of their menstrual cycle, they too become horny and are driven to seek out sex.

 

[Natalie Nessus]

Yes, what is it to be a woman?

or to love a woman?

Okay... Then I offer what I think a woman is, from this humble man's point of view.

A woman is grace, even when she stumbles and falls. Grace isn't in her movements, but rather radiates from her soul.
A woman is pride, even when she is low, as the whole world celebrates her even when she doesn't know it.
A woman is hard of soul from the stones that men in ignorance fling, but still, and forever, soft of touch.
A woman is only dirty when she wants to be, devilishly so, and not by anyone's demands. She is *always* a lady.
A woman is close to God by birth, as they do naturally what men must learn: How to Create.
