January 23, 2008 — WE’RE not sure we believe him for a second, but Lenny Kravitz insists he’s been celibate for three years. “[It's] just a promise I made until I get married,” the rocker, who’s been married to Lisa Bonet – and linked to Adriana Lima, Devon Aoki, Natalie Imbruglia, Vanessa Paradis, Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Penelope Cruz and Nicole Kidman – tells next month’s Spin magazine. “Where I’m at in life, the women have got to come with something else, not just the body, but the mind and spirit. It usually trips them out, but that’s the way it’s going to be. I’m looking at the big picture.” Also steering clear of sex is Sandy “Pepa” Denton of Salt-n-Pepa. “Just because I’m flirtatious people think I’m loose. But it’s not true,” the hip-hop honey tells Steppin’ Out’s Chaunce Hayden. “Truth be told, I haven’t had any sex in two years . . . I need a guy to make me go ‘Wow!’ and I just haven’t found that guy. My standards have gone way up . . . I’m not just jumping right in anymore.” How times have changed. (source)

TRENDS: Hair tips via You Tube
For the past year or so I have noticed a steep incline in the amount of videos that are being uploaded by our sistahs instructing other Black women from everything from makeup trends to how to sew in a weave. On the home front I can tell you that my wife has spent numerous hours either at the kitchen table or curled up on our bed learning new ways to style her hair or find out the latest trends on hair braiding. Personally I find this trend very interesting because I can see it at some point developing into an ...
“Judge not…”
Matthew 7:1 is one of the most quoted scriptures in the Bible these days. Even people who do not subscribe to the teachings of the Bible will quickly whip out that passage of scripture and use it as a speed pass to cancel out any criticisms regarding their moral failings. The very Bible that most people today try to dismiss as "out of date", not relative for today, or not to be taken literally is the same Bible these individuals use to deflect criticism of their behavior. Now let's read versus 1 and 2. "Do not judge, or you too will be ...

If true, I think that Lenny and Salt should be applauded for their decision to maintain celibacy. Sexual activity complicates relationships often causing people to stay in relationships for far longer than they should. I think that the celibate approach to dating allows a clearer head when spending time with people and also removes the dangers of unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, accusations of rape, etc.
