At the pride festival in San Francisco I came across 2 new organizations that focus on relationship matchmaking. I think you would enjoy this…Take a look .

Monday, the day after the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade and Festival. A friend invited me to meet him at “Catch” a seafood restaurant on Market Street in the Castro. It’s a great dinning experience, great food, great wine in a very upscale environment. I have been there once before and really enjoyed it then. But this time it was an extra special experience and something I will always remember.

A few minutes after we were sitting at our table I heard a building-up of noise in the place. I looked up to see almost everyone in the room was tapping their silverware on their glasses. At one end of the room I noticed 2 guys in tuxedos kissing. It took me few seconds to realize we were in the midst of a wedding reception for these 2 guys with about 50 guests. The reception was so wonderful to be part of, in this way. I was really moved to actually experience the new marriag

e law and how this changes things for all of us. It was uplifting. It was inspiring. I was able to smile, to cry with tears of joy at times, and to experience a deep sense of hope. I wanted to go to San Francisco this gay pride to be around during the beginning of the gay marriage……but I didn’t know it would be a joyous surprise like this…

I have been to San Francisco for Gay Pride a few times but I wanted to be in town this year to share in the celebration of the Marriage Law. They officials had planned for 1.2 million people to line the parade route. It sure was crowded and hard to find a place to see but I did not mind walking and getting to see what I could … I was amazed to see all the “thank you” signs. Thank you to the lawyers, thanks to the city officials, thanks to the couples who took part in the progression of the laws. This was a different parade than all the rest of the gay parades that I have seen in the 30years. This was a true celebration.

I have heard it said that “Thank You” is the highest compliment you can give to anyone. It speaks volumes.

Tomorrow I am traveling to San Francisco just for the gay pride weekend. This should be lots of fun.

My blog has never has a political posting. I like to spend my time and my words on pleasure oriented subjects.. but I now feel compelled to get involved!

If you are not a registered voter, or  you need to change your address. NOW IS THE TIME TO REGISTER TO VOTE.. especially in California… the anti marriage ammendment will be on the ballot.. we need to defeat this!  REGISTER, if you need a california registration form and cant find one.. i can mail it to you.

I arrived in Palm Springs and it is 115. Now, this is hot!

Tomorrow I am flying back to Palm Springs. I am normally not in Palm Springs in the summer. Chicago is my summer base. I do have to return Palm Springs to get my drivers license renewed. I guess every 10-12 years you have to make a personal appearance. So off, I go. I am going to soak up the heat for a few days and really enjoy being nude outdoors and by the pool. Would anyone would like to join me????

Tantra is generally referred to as the ancient Indian spiritual philosophy of conscious loving. Why Tantra? Because we are living in a sensual and materialistice era. Bcause or sense and or desires drive us.. and because Tantra is the only evolved spiritual discipline that uses our sense and our desires to achieve the goal of liberation.

Tantra teaches that the sense can be harnessed and used as a liberating energy, that they can be used as tools to help attain transcendental wisdom and enlightenment in this materialistic era, and that they can be used to shortcut the process of spiritual evolution. Tantra is a sexual software, a software of love, that makes use of the senses in pursuit of spiritual liberation. Tantra’s most potent tools are the sense organs: the mind, the skin, eyes, ears, tongue, and nose. Most potent in the sexual act.

I was talking by phone with a guy who has noticed how hard he has been working, lately. He mentioned that his sex life was impacted by his focus on work.There was less time for sex but also sex has become less desirable…and when sex happens it is quick, fast, and disconnected. He is not able to relax and enjoy being touched without feeling self conscious for not “doing” anything. He yearns to work less and enjoy more.

Giving yourself more permission for pleasure (non sexual and sexual) starts with relaxing into pleasure and allowing yourself to feel more relaxed, sensual and in touch with your body.

If this sounds a little like you.. why not, start to give yourself more pleasure by taking a long bath. Add a bunch of bath salts to the water. Epsom salt is good and more designer “sea salt” brands.

…or have someone bathe you…..   ahhhhhhhhhhh
