How Males Communicate In contrast to the way females communicate, males often prefer a more simplistic type of communication that gets directly to the point. I was speaking at a conference explaining to a group of mental health professionals (almost all of whom were women) on how to communicate with males–specifically younger males. I was explaining that because male’s have shorter attention spans, that female counselors needed to get to their point sooner and use less words. In addition, the... Read more

Dress Like a Slut

Last updated on: October 23, 2013 at 9:35 pm By Jonathan McKee

Halloween is the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it.” -Cady, Mean Girls It’s almost Halloween and the pressure is on for our teen and tween girls—the same pressure they face in the sexual rat race of the social network selfie.

Gospel or gimmick?

Last updated on: October 23, 2013 at 8:45 am By David Murrow

Why Males and Females Can’t Communicate (part 1)

Last updated on: October 17, 2013 at 8:33 pm By rickjohnson

Males and females communicate differently. Even the way they communicate when they use the same words are different. For instance, there’s a difference between male time and female time. When I ask my wife how long until she’s ready to go someplace, she’ll often say, “Oh, about five minutes.” Five minutes to me means five consecutive 60 second increments on a clock. But in female time that really means, “It’s gonna be awhile buddy. I’m just throwing a number out... Read more

How Past Relationship Wounds Kill Your New One

Last updated on: October 11, 2013 at 9:12 pm By rickjohnson

The average person is prone to bring past relationship wounds into their current relationships. These are particularly destructive because our current partner has no idea what you are talking about or where you are coming from. So for instance, if a past spouse cheated on you, we often distrust all future spouses. It’s important to remember that the person we are currently with did not perform the act (or said the words) that wounded us. Much like our criminal justice... Read more

In the solitude of his bedroom, he begins play. Twenty minutes later his character beeps his horn and the prostitute gets in the car. He has three choices: oral, vaginal or anal sex. He chooses the $70 option, pays her, and then sits back and watches his character receive... Read more
