6 Stupid Sex Lessons My Mother Taught Me. ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on May 11, 2013

Source: dawntonabbey.tumblr.com via Kathleen on Pinterest Or, what not to teach your daughter about sex. Every Mother’s Day I cringe a bit at the onslaught of predictable, sentimental ‘Ode to My Mom,” even if she is or was as elegant as Grace Kelly, as sassy as Kate Hepburn, as funny as Tina Fey or as [...]

How I Embraced My Inner Pin-Up Girl & Got My Sexy Back. ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on Apr 23, 2013

  I started out as a five-year-old starlet perched on the round coffee table in my parent’s living room, the paparazzi photographer none other than my Kodak-camera infatuated father. In this kindergarten diva phase I’d ham it up with arms flung wide, gleeful smile and mischief in my eye. I loved being the center of the [...]

What Men Really Want for Valentine’s & Beyond. ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on Feb 13, 2013

Get ready to be delighted, surprised, turned on, curious and amazed. It started with an online conversation with another female writer, who jokingly suggested what men really want for Valentine’s day is a steak and a blow job. We cackled like hens (on FB messages you can still feel the cackle without an emoticon). Then, [...]

Why Hadiya Pendleton Died but My Son Lived ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on Jan 30, 2013

A fifteen year old girl who played in a marching band at President Obama’s inauguration was killed yesterday by gunfire. According to NBC news, Hadiya Pendleton was standing in broad daylight with friends in an upscale neighborhood Chicago Park when a drive-by-shooter took aim, not likely at her. Yet the bullet that lodged in this [...]

8 Ways to Connect with the Strength of Femininity. ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on Jan 29, 2013

Source: data.whicdn.com via Kate on Pinterest You know you are out of balance as a woman when you keep encountering control-freakish, verbally abusive, men in power—men who act like doms on steroids. Because as much as I want to make it about them, I know those power drunks represent aspects of me. It’s Jungian shadow [...]

Why Women Stand By Their Cheating Man. ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on Jan 3, 2013

As a woman who has readily forgiven a cheating husband, I’m in notable company. Former first lady Hillary Clinton, pop singer Fergie and Victoria Beckham, wife of British soccer star David, all chose to continue relationships marred by scandalous affairs. But beneath the nobility of forgiveness lurks the shady possibility that each of these women [...]

Dancing Like a Mad Elephant: An OMG Urban Dance {video} ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on Dec 27, 2012

Do you ever have those days, where life pulls the rug out from under you? And you go WTF and at the same time, I hope there’s a cosmic plan in place here (kind of like an insurance policy with huge post-disaster payouts). I had a day like that recently. Yet, in the distress aftermath [...]

How Kissing Girls Improved my Hetero Sex Life. ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on Dec 12, 2012

Source: Uploaded by user via Ashlee on Pinterest The first time a woman kissed me, I was shocked at my response. My body said yes, to her lips on mine and her hand on my fully clothed breast. It was a late night, in the living room of a girlfriend I had known for ten [...]

Women, Listen to Your Lady Parts. {Video} ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on Nov 28, 2012

Okay, so I don’t always listen to my vagina when she speaks. Sometimes even, she has to yell to get my attention. Like the time a guy I was dating decided something he’d seen on a porn movie would work on my delicate lady parts—I called his technique the vacuum suction move, delivered with enough [...]

Libido Challenged? Try a Daily Dose of Sex. ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on Nov 20, 2012

Here’s the problem: my libido is no match for my husband’s. It’s like a plough horse trying to keep up with a race horse (and if you have been reading some of my articles in the last year, this is nothing new). Still, faced with a problem, I’m a strategic commander-in-chief, rallying friends, acquaintances and [...]

When You Vote For Romney, You Get a War on Women. {Funny Video, Serious Message}

by on Nov 6, 2012

As a woman raised in the 70′s by a closet feminist mother (a housewife who yearned to have an independent career), I grew up assuming my equal rights were not only on the upswing, but inevitable. The 70′s were about Charlie perfume, pant suits, and Gloria Steinem. It was only a matter of more placards, [...]

How Cyber-Bullies Drove Amanda Todd to Death. {Heartbreaking Video}

by on Oct 16, 2012

Fifteen-year-old Amanda Todd killed herself last week after two years of relentless online bullying, started by one person hell-bent on destroying a young girl’s life. Yesterday, my 13-year-old daughter (and many of her friends) wore pink to school in a show of solidarity for Amanda, whose only crime was the mistake (in grade 7) of flashing her [...]

The Estrogen Diaries: My Sex Slave Life. ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on Oct 15, 2012

A horny hormone story in four parts. One: Maiden. First hint I liked a dominant lover, I was 23 and being kissed hard, pressed against a wall, my hair gripped tightly in his fist—eliciting an immediate wet panty response. The boyfriend before this unexpected encounter was all about permission—tentative for cues it was okay to [...]

The Estrogen Diaries: When He Wants Sex & You Don’t. ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on Oct 3, 2012

I used to be a person who lived to please—the A student, the good child, the helpful friend and yes, even the dutiful wife. I lived in a self-denying bubble of placating, appeasing and keeping the boat from rocking. Then, I hit a wall. That wall was my last romantic relationship. I collapsed, physically exhausted [...]

The Boob Revolt: Let All Breasts Be Free. {Nudity} ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on Sep 24, 2012

How did the mammary gland become a fatality in a puritanical battle to cover up? I have been asking myself this question a lot lately. First, we have the recent uproar over Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton’s cute perkies (well I imagine them that way, I didn’t hunt the pics down) showing up in a [...]

Growing Up a Cosmo Girl & Goodbye Helen Gurley Brown.

by on Aug 14, 2012

Former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, Helen Gurley Brown, died yesterday at age 90. Today this one-time Cosmo Girl has an admission: I both respect and despise what Brown represented. She was a pioneering woman of trendsetting vision. And she was a regressive woman who championed sex as a bargaining chip and made being sexy the female [...]

Why I Wrote A Call to the Sacred Masculine. ~ Lori Ann Lothian

by on Jun 27, 2012

“What a bunch of pretentious, narcissistic spiritual masturbation.” The above comment came from a man angry with me—or at least with my words as penned in A Call to The Sacred Masculine: Ten Daring Invitations from the Divine Feminine, an article that soared to 50,000 views and garnered 14,000 Facebook likes. In other words, a [...]

The New Nasty Superbug that Takes the Fun out of Foreplay. {Adult}

by on Jun 19, 2012

How oral sex just became high risk. I often wish I was born in the era of flower power and free love, happy birth control pills (who knew then the estrogenic-cancer side of things) and sex that could not kill you. But I came into my sexual years just as HIV/AIDS was making headlines, first [...]

Karmageddon: Lord of the Vagina meets Mr. Nice Guy. {Exclusive, Film Review}

by on Jun 13, 2012

 “An old soul with a nasty baby psyche.” Or at least that is Jeff Brown’s assessment of kirtan star and yogi Bhagavan Das half way through Karmageddon, a two-hour documentary that chronicles one man’s disenchantment with the skirt-chasing antics of a guru who claims his most potent enlightenment began in 1998 with a talking vagina. [...]

Confessions of a Shy Vagina. {Adult, Humor}

by on Jun 9, 2012

Is that what I look like? Lori’s vagina here, speaking on behalf of vaginas everywhere (thank you rest of body for airtime). First off, I’m shy. I don’t normally like the limelight and I certainly have never stood up and been heard. (Yes, I’m blushing beneath Lori’s panties). But I just had to state my [...]

A Call to the Sacred Masculine: Ten Daring Invitations from the Divine Feminine.

by on May 29, 2012

If I am going act like a goddess, I want a man who acts like a god. Yet all this talk lately of the goddess and the Divine Feminine seems like new-age wishful thinking, a fantasy archetype with as much to do with real life as Superwoman or the Fairy God Mother. While goddess propagandists [...]

The Dark Secret Reason Relationships Fail.

by on Apr 18, 2012

Hint: It’s a Mood Thing. I thought I had solved our latest relationship problem using my down-to-earth fix-it approach. He wanted more sex, so I chose a Nancy Regan cure: I would “Just say yes!” Even if I was tired, preoccupied or grumpy, it wasn’t like sex was a chore. Sex was typically pleasurable and [...]

Are Weapons of Mass Distraction Keeping You from Inner Peace?

by on Apr 14, 2012

The Dead Ends of Money, Sex, Botox and Spirituality The other day I observed my 12-year-old talk for hours on the phone about a boy crush, check out her appearance in the bathroom mirror and then work intensely to get yet another perfect grade on a school project. She was busy pursuing three weapons of [...]
