A weekly blog to talk about women's issues, sexual health, sprinkled with a little religion and politics... and anything else that may catch my attention.Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12227335584846816828noreply@blogger.comBlogger75125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4612876394808083054.post-47281899158159906632013-06-03T16:11:00.000-05:002013-06-03T16:11:03.339-05:00HPV Caused Throat Cancer for Michael DouglasWell now we can really talk about the elephant in the room... Guardisil vaccinations for our daughters AND sons because of the prevalence of HPV that can cause cancer.Guardisil is not just about preventing cervical cancer (which was how it was marketed to remain politically correct) and yes it is a vaccine for an STD.<br />
A highly prevalent STD that can go for months and years without symptoms.<br />
<br />
According to the CDC... "HPV is so common that nearly all sexually-active men and women will get at least one type of HPV at some point in their lives."<br />
<br />
Click <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/stdfact-hpv.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a> for a CDC fact sheet on HPV.<br />
<br />
So when can we stop playing "Cute" and talk about reality for a minute.<br />
Americans are having sex. Americans are getting sick from having sex because they are uneducated. We need to get over our hangups about sex and use protection. Condoms are not bad, STDs are bad.<br />
<br />
Any questions?<br />
<br />
I have a few... why is this all so difficult, and with all the information at our electronic fingertips, why are STD's spreading like wildfire? <br />

Happy Mother's Day!<h5 class="uiStreamMessage userContentWrapper" data-ft="{"type":1,"tn":"K"}">
<span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}"><span class="userContent">Today
we celebrate... the mundane and the extraordinary, the expected and the
surprises that we call motherhood; the inexplicable passion to protect
the very thing that can drive us to moments of insanity and bliss. We
celebrate the love that pours through the sacrifices, of time, money,
and body, in the hopes that we can fill the world with compassionate
responsible people who know how to love AND balance a checkbook... Our
jobs are never finished, for I am a daughter too who still leans heavily
on my own incredible mom. So I say thank you, to all the moms out
there, for washing the same dish 50 million times, reminding your kids
to say please and thank you, for volunteering at the school when you’d
rather be getting a pedicure, for drying tears, pulling teeth, changing
diapers, cleaning up barf… and for molding our future. Here’s to doing
our best, forgiving our shortcomings, and to never giving up. Happy
Mother’s Day.</span></span></h5>

We were thrilled to be a part of the conversation about safe sex for older couples. <br />

The infection rates for 50+ age group are on the rise. Looks like "The Talk" needs to happen a few times in life.<br />

Earlier, those same women were paired up with a stranger for a quick "get to know you" chat, then those strangers were asked to describe the same woman to the same sketch artist... the difference in the sketches is astounding and sad. The group of women were critical of themselves to the point of distortion, and the strangers who spoke with them for a short time described them so well the forensic sketch looked like a portrait.<br />
How would you describe yourself, do you think a stranger would describe you the same way? When you critique yourself... if someone else said those same things about you, would it hurt you or make you mad? Loving yourself, somehow, isn't that easy but we have a responsibility to control that inner dialogue that is hurtful and deceitful. <br />
This is well worth the 3 minute watch, and <a href="http://realbeautysketches.dove.us/" target="_blank">Dove's website</a> has the full 6 minute version. <br />

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The
Poor Misunderstood Condom</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cases of HIV/STD's
are skyrocketing. 1 in 5 American teens is infected with an STD. Unintended
pregnancies nationwide are at a staggering 49%</span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 8.0pt;">(1). </span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">There are 20 million annual new STD infections, 110
million are currently infected, totaling $16 BILLION in medical costs</span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 8.0pt;">(2)</span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt;">… </span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">But, statistics don’t change the minds and
behavior of people. Trends and peer pressure do.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Which is why the Mother/Daughter duo formed their company
Just in Case, Inc. and created a product for women that will change the course
of how women think of protecting themselves and provide a tool for smarter
choices when it comes to safer sex.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>JUST
IN CASE® is a chic mirrored compact, that looks like a make-up compact and has
a hidden compartment to hold… condoms. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Yes, they said it; condoms. They're not just for hookers
and one-night stands anymore. The condom is a reliable, versatile means of
contraception AND protection. There are colors, flavors, shapes, sizes,
thicknesses, lubrication, and materials to choose from. And yet… can't even be
advertised along with Viagra or Cialis. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The idea for the product was born in 1980 when founder
Marsha Bartenetti and her neighbor were having dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The neighbor happened to be Dr. Carl
Djarassi, the father of the birth control pill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They discussed birth control and the subject of condoms came up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carl said it was still a great means for
contraception, but it simply had a bad image.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Marsha was in the entertainment business at the time, and he suggested,
humorously, that since she was so creative she should come up with a new image
for the condom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the dinner, she
had a creative “flash”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the idea of
JUST IN CASE® was born; only it was an idea before its time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>HIV/AIDS wasn’t even in our social
consciousness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Fast forward to 2005 – when Marsha's daughter, co-founder
Rachael Sudul approached her with the idea of actually manufacturing JIC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Surely now, with all the information out
there about the risks of unprotected sex; STD’s , unplanned pregnancies,
HIV/AIDS, the product would be welcomed with open arms!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Right? Not so fast. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">During the course of building the business and talking
with students and women about this issue, it became apparent that they were in
for a real ride.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although the idea
first came to Marsha in 1980 – it had been found that most of the reactions to
condoms hadn’t changed at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Especially when it came to women.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So what was the missing link from “what we know”…to “What we do”?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The value of using condoms is proven. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, what if the guy doesn’t have a condom,
where does this leave a woman, besides terribly vulnerable to the life changing
maladies from unsafe sex?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And why aren’t
women carrying their own protection?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The answers were very clear.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Palatino;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Women are embarrassed to have someone see condoms
in their purse. (Think Carrie Bradshaw in Sex in the City when after dropping
her purse – her condoms fell all over the sidewalk in front of Big - she was
mortified!)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Palatino;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Women are
afraid of judgment for carrying a condom.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Palatino; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Palatino;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Women are
afraid they will be rejected or judged by their boyfriends for being “too
forward”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Society says… " be a good girl", "have a
man protect you", "have modesty" and to always be in style. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The reasons above may seem like simple and old-fashioned
notions, but they are core concerns that have been engrained in women and they
haven't really been seriously addressed when it comes to safe sex.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Which is why many women will make terrible
choices in a matter of seconds that can change the course of her life forever
(and not necessarily in a good way) rather than appear too aggressive, or
promiscuous, by being prepared.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">You can hand out thousands of free condoms, however,
statistics tell us they are not being used.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And if women aren’t carrying them, they aren’t using them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we can see now why most women don’t
carry them. Condoms are ugly and are completely misunderstood - they have a
horrible rep.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The big question, then is: how can someone make carrying
condoms more attractive to women? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So the
compacts were designed with these requirements in mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And now, for the first time, a woman can be
confident, doesn't have to sacrifice style, and will have her privacy protected
as well, forming a new link between ”What we know” and “What we do”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">And they aren’t only reaching out to young single women about
safer sex… Women re-entering the dating scene after divorce or the loss of a
spouse, believe they are past the time when pregnancy is an issue and are
having unprotected sex. They haven’t a clue about the new dating landscape and
that while pregnancy may be a concern, some STD's are for life and can be
debilitating… not to mention the new strains of STD's that are resistant to
antibiotics and show no symptoms. STD's are even highly prevalent in the
retirement population, thanks to that little blue pill and misinformed people </span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 8.0pt;">(3)</span><span style="font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">… </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Oprah aired a program about a man who was
arrested for assault with a deadly weapon - and his "weapon" was his
bodily fluids!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The man had HIV and spread
the disease to scores of women - 6 of whom were on the show to discuss how
their lives had been devastated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
all met this man on a very popular dating website. He dated these women with
the knowledge he had the disease - Upon looking at him - NO ONE would suspect
that he carried the virus – He was a handsome, charming karate instructor.
Seemingly fit, and a real “catch”. It was heartbreaking to hear these women’s
stories and how they now face a totally different future after having made the
worst choice of their lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It only
took a few seconds to say, “yes” to unprotected sex with someone they knew
virtually nothing about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the effects
of that few seconds will unfortunately last a lifetime.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">And to think all of this can be prevented! It
is an act not only of self-love, but also love for your partner and an act of
mutual respect to have protected sex.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We are in a time where we simply must be
careful; more than ever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And the message
is for all women who are sexually active at any age. Having unprotected sex is
like game of Russian Roulette.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Palatino; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">It’s time we all get our beautiful heads out
of the sand, start breathing the air of reality, and raise our personal bar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Look after yourself first. Love yourself
enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Love your partner enough. Know
you matter. Love is a beautiful thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is our gift to one another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<br />
There is a "new" way to pay for school... <span class="longword">SeekingArrangement.com is a site that caters to the business side of a relationship... many students have been registering on the site to make enough money to pay for school so they aren't riddled with debt when they graduate; this is nothing new really. This is akin to the stripper making her way through med school, these coeds just won't have the employment history to put on their resumes.</span><br />
<span class="longword"><a href="http://money.msn.com/now/post.aspx?post=e1abc132-f496-4ee2-b683-c618532d39d1&ref=bfv" target="_blank">MSN Money Article by Bruce Kennedy</a></span><br />
<br />
<span class="longword">Men with wealth and social status have always enjoyed the company of beautiful young women at whatever the price. And women have enjoyed the monetary and social benefits of partnering with these men regardless of the emotional connection. I can honestly believe that cavemen probably had arrangements with lovely cavewomen when they needed to attend the annual "Save the Saber Tooth Tiger Gala"... Ya know, somehow she had to make rent on that penthouse cave she got herself into.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="longword">So for a moment lets take actual "paid for sex" out of the picture and talk about the grey area... a paid companion or date that doesn't sleep with whomever hires her. Is this the same as prostitution? Or is this simply the dating game minus the butterflies and hopes of marriage with a pay check... does every woman need every date to be a potential husband? And who are we to judge these people for wanting companionship without the commitment of marriage? We rent a tux for an event... rent clothes that other people have worn to look your best for an event. She's kind of like a tux. Actresses are paid for love scenes, with people we know they don't love, but it's considered art... could this be considered performance art?</span><br />
<br />
<span class="longword">Once money changes hands the judgment begins... that somehow the money dirties the date. Money can just be considered the transfer of energy... She is a hired companion paid for her time and beauty, and she pays the money to further her education and broaden her mind... I tend to have the thought if you aren't hurting yourself or anyone else, carry on. But you have to TRULY know that you are OK with what you are doing.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="longword">Our chemistry as women tends to betray us in this area when we want to be emotionally detached... hormone Oxytocin known as the "cuddle hormone" is released in larger doses in women when we connect with men. This hormonal reaction will occur whether this is the love of your life or a date to the symphony so it can help with the bond or possibly make you miserable if you live through heightened pleasure without the bond of a true relationship.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="longword">So nothing is solved, except the tuition bill. But my question to these women is how do you explain that you have no debt after medical school to the guy you want to marry? And are you truly ok with what you're doing? If the answer is "I'm ok" I have to go with that and realize that it's going to be a matter of your own taste and moral compass... I don't see anything "wrong" with it as a practice, just that it would've been "wrong" for me.</span><br />

I am taking my 8 year old daughter to her first concert to see the tween dynamo... Justin Bieber. There's a part of me that wishes it was Disney on Ice; mostly because the pitch of the screams would be missing at a Disney show, but also because this is the beginning of boys entering her radar. I will nurture these "crushes" on rock stars, and actors as long as I can since I don't have to ever worry about them in our daily reality... but it is a reminder that the reality is just around the corner and I'm bracing myself.<br />
<br />
Here's to the throes and woes of motherhood...<br />

<br />
While I hate the word "Fault" in the title it is designed to make you want to read what we're being blamed for... it worked. I read the article. Really what it talks about is taking responsibility for your part of the relationship and changing the only part that you have control to change... yourself.<br />
It's a good read.<br />

(this info was from an email, so I will leave the fact-checking up to you guys and apologize now if information from the internet was incorrect.)<br />
Whetther or not the information about the author is correct, we have all heard these keys to life and thought we cold all use some reminders...<br />
<br />
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.<br /><br />2. When in doubt, just take the
next small step.<br /><br />3. Life is too short, enjoy it.<br /><br />4. Your job won't
take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.<br /><br />5.
Pay off your credit cards every month.<br /><br />6. You don't have to win every
argument. Stay true to yourself.<br /><br />7. Cry with someone. It's more
healing than crying alone.<br /><br />8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take
it.<br /><br />9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.<br /><br />10.
When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.<br /><br />11. Make peace with
your past so it won't screw up your present.<br /><br />12. It's OK to let your
children see you cry.<br /><br />13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no
idea what their journey is all about.<br /><br />14. If a relationship has to be
a secret, you shouldn't be in it.<br /><br />15. Everything can change in the
blink of an eye.<br /><br />16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.<br /><br />17.
Get rid of anything that isn't useful. Clutter weighs you down in many
ways.<br /><br />18. Whatever doesn't kill you really, it does make
you stronger.<br /><br />19. It's never too late to be happy. But it is all up
to you and no one else.<br /><br />20. When it comes to going after what you love
in life, don't take no for an answer.<br /><br />21. Burn the candles, use the
nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion.Today is special.<br /><br />22. Over prepare, then go with the
flow.<br /><br />23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear
purple.<br /><br />24. The most important sex organ is the brain.<br /><br />25. No one
is in charge of your happiness but you.<br /><br />26. Frame every so-called
disaster with these words "In five years, will this matter?"<br /><br />27.
Always choose life.<br /><br />28. Forgive AND forget.<br /><br />29. What other people
think of you is none of your business.<br /><br />30. Time heals almost everything.
Give time time.<br /><br />31. However good or bad a situation is, it will
change.<br /><br />32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else
does.<br /><br />33. Believe in miracles.<br /><br />34. God loves you because of who
God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.<br /><br />35. Don't audit
life. Show up and make the most of it now.<br /><br />36. Growing old beats the
alternative -- dying young.<br /><br />37. Your children get only one
childhood.<br /><br />38. All that truly matters in the end is that you
loved.<br /><br />39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting
everywhere.<br /><br />40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and
saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.<br /><br />41. Envy is a waste of time.
Accept what you already have not what you need.<br /><br />42. The best is yet to
come.<br /><br />43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show
up.<br /><br />44. Yield.<br /><br />45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a
gift.Rachaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12227335584846816828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4612876394808083054.post-5560986545332099212012-10-22T13:54:00.002-05:002012-10-22T13:54:23.753-05:00JIC in Italian Cosmopolitan Magazine!JUST IN CASE has jumped the pond and we found ourselves in Italian Cosmopolitan!<br />

World AIDS Day is December 1st and each year this day gives an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate people who have died. <br />
Just in Case® is teaming up with MTV’s STAYING ALIVE FOUNDATION to raise money in support of World Aids Day. <br />
Just in Case Inc. will donate 50% of all full-price online retail sales during the month of December to the STAYING ALIVE FOUNDATION. The Foundation’s mission is to encourage, energize, and empower young people who are involved in HIV/AIDS awareness, education and prevention campaigns. The Foundation does this by presenting the Staying Alive Awards to young individuals and youth groups who are focused on stopping the spread of HIV and who have demonstrated the potential to become future leaders. <br />
Just in Case® WILL make a different in the lives of sexually active women by keeping them protected, helping restore their self-respect, confidence and honor of their own bodies. <br />
<a href="http://www.justincaseinc.com"><b>www.JustInCaseInc.com</b></a><br />
To further the support for the Staying Alive Foundation, these particular retailers who carry the Just In Case® compacts have also committed to donate a percentage of sales to the cause:<br />
