Speak Out: How mediators can help

Before a conflict turns hostile or ugly, consider engaging a mediator to help. Mediation provides a neutral third party to help people engage conflict and difficult issues. Mediation is voluntary, encourages honest communication, sets boundaries for ‘fighting fair’ and is completely confidential. Ultimately, mediation is a cost-effective way to settle conflicts in a relationship without constant arguing or prolonged litigation.

Ask the Sexpert: A potential other couple

Dear Shanna, My girlfriend and I have been together a few years and the sex is fantastic. We’ve become friends with another couple (also lesbian) and there seems to be chemistry between us. I know the term “swinging” is somewhat outdated, but I think it’s the best word for what we’re interested in. Is it a good idea? If so, how do we move forward?

The kids really are all right

The secret stash was my first glimpse of ‘porn,’ and I remember the feeling: exhilarated and guilty at the same time. I thought back to my Catholic catechism classes – sins of the flesh would send supposedly send us to Hell, and I figured that looking at pictures or videos of those sins would mean the same. It took me all of 10 minutes to get over that notion.

Plan an unforgettable Pride party for all five senses

With PrideFest just around the corner, June 15 and 16 at Civic Center Park in Denver, it’s time to pull pride season party ideas out of the closet.

And like any plan, a great party comes together best with foresight.

Top 5 LGBT–themed films to rent this summer

If your tastes differ from middle-class heterosexual teenage males ages 12 to 16 – the most sought–after demographic in the summer film market – then perhaps this list can help. Pop your own popcorn and consider the following LGBT-themed favorites:

The brink of extinction

Wooly mammoths have always fascinated me. It’s the convergence of my two most favorite things, elephants and dinosaurs. With a mastodon, you get two for the price of one.

Glamorous vs. fun: In Colorado, why choose?

Transplants from all over bring their city lifestyle to our slower setting. We are creating this wonderful, vibrant, integrated community here, and I am really proud to be part of it.

The dos and don’ts of beard-keeping

From skinny hipsters to studmuffin Ryan Gosling, men are bucking the clean-shaved trend and doing what was once thought so unprofessional by past generations: sporting the understated stubble. While the look is not limited to mountain men or Santa Claus, your facial hair – whether a full-fledged beard or oh-so-subtle shadow – requires grooming.

Singing in the rain

The first day riding in the AIDS/Lifecycle, if nothing else, made me an expert on California weather. The morning started off cold while the afternoon got hot. Even though my little windbreaker came in handy, once the sun came out it suffocated me. At least I could tie my arm and leg warmers around empty bar space on the bike.
