Paciencia y Fe

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 03/09/2010 - 15:00 | 3 Comments

I am a typical Aries female; I'm super impatient and want what I want, when I want it! My demanding nature is constantly being tested, whether I have to wait an extra five minutes for food or an extra hour for a man to return my text.

Once this happens I summon another known Arian trait—impulsivity! This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it has...

Lost in Translation

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 03/04/2010 - 15:55 | 7 Comments

After I exchanged numbers with Pony Tail, I was still reluctant to give this English as a Second Language Learner a chance—but, I was also starved for male affection. The past few months have been rough, to say the least. My aunt went into cardiac arrest in January and has yet to recover, then...

Cómo Se Dice...Sexy?

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 02/25/2010 - 13:42 | 26 Comments

I sat with my prima in DR Lounge sipping a Bacardi and Coke when two young men approached us. One wore his hair in a ponytail while the other looked like the rest and sported a clean cut. Pony Tail immediately asked me to dance. He led me to the small dance floor and spun me throug a great salsa song. I was impressed with his skills: A man who can dance salsa is...

Sex Talk with Dr. Charley: Easing the Friction

By Dr. Charley Ferrer | 02/24/2010 - 16:57 | 9 Comments

Dear Dr. Charley:

I’m dating a new guy and we were recently intimate for the first time. It was amazing; but he lasted forever. I guess normally this is a good thing, but it was like hours on end. This is what some women dream of, but, honestly, after a while, it just started to hurt. I enjoyed it, but I’m looking for ways to reduce the friction...

Where Is the Sisterly Love?

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 02/23/2010 - 16:33 | 1 Comment

I love being a woman and celebrating sisterhood, but sometimes I want to shake some of my fellow hermanas. There is just way too much competition amongst women. We sharpen our claws when a cutie passes by and let us not forget how quickly some women turn on each other when success comes a knocking. Can we just put down the haterade?

Unfortunately, as much as...

The Ex Factor

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 02/18/2010 - 15:14 | 2 Comments

I’ve always been haunted by my ex-boyfriends. Even if they did me dirty or just weren't that into me; they always come back into my life somehow.

The latest ex to pop back into my life was my first serious boyfriend. First BF and I were together for seven months in 2003. It ended because we were in different places. He was reveling in politics while I was left...

Sex Talk with Dr. Charley: Put a Ring on It?

By Dr. Charley Ferrer | 02/17/2010 - 17:24 | 1 Comment

Dear Dr. Charley:

I’m 35 and have been with my man for six years. We have been living together for two and I’m more than ready for him to put a ring on it . . . but my guy isn’t. His parents went through a rough divorce around the time that we got together and he keeps telling me he isn’t sure if he believes in the institution of marriage anymore....

A Blessing in Disguise

By Sujeiry Gonzalez | 02/16/2010 - 20:00 | 0 Comments

The day before Valentine's Day I woke up later than usual. My cell phone usually beeps as frequently as an ER doctor's and almost always wakes me up—yet there it was, totally lifeless. As soon as I rose out of my slumber, I picked it up from my bedside bureau and stared at the screen. Then I saw those three, tragic letters: GSM. My cell phone carrier grew tired of giving me...
