Why Is A Food And Lifestyle Blogger Writing About Female Sexuality?
Early on in my cooking experience, I became more focused on the nourishment of food, and what natural products would bring to both my kitchen and my overall health.
When I wrote and published Dirt To Dish, it was out of love for the many ways healthy homegrown ingredients contributed to my recipe inspiration and became an important contribution to my health – head-to-toe.
The type of sexual activity one chooses to experience is not my concern, however I know for a fact that a healthy sex life depends on how we nurture a healthy body and mind, and that in turn, will contribute to healthy female sexuality.
Wining And Dining For Sexual Intimacy
Come on gals, early on in the life of a young women, we are influenced by film and romantic novels that set the stage for the way we think about our female sexuality throughout our lives.
A dinner date is set, hair and clothes become our first priority, we are wined and dined (so to speak), with the unspoken understanding that at some point in the evening, sexual intimacy will push the dining experience off the table, and next up will be you!
My approach to all of this? I decide! I decide exactly how I want that intimate sexual pleasure experience to be, just as I decide all else about my health and well being; something that takes younger women ‘life experiences’ to realize they too decide.
International Society Varies In Regards To Female Sexuality
Having grown up in a Mediterranean influenced home, experiencing a Middle Eastern mom whose Greek and Italian friends brought both cuisine and culture into our kitchen.
I learned at a young age that the kitchen was where the greatest education on life was going to take place.
These cultures (back then), expected that a woman’s job was in the kitchen, keeping her family healthy and well fed.
Interestingly enough, it was also where the women gathered (much like a beauty salon), to talk about their issues at home. It was always a place of open communication and believe me, everything was discussed in that kitchen, including topics regarding their sexual selves.
The American culture (the one my father was rooted in), not so much. Tight lipped, proper and never discussions about their sexual feelings.
The Kitchen – The Bedroom
Yep, those were the two places I was told growing up that a woman needed to excel in if she was to catch a good man and keep him. Early on in life, I made the decisions as to the type of food and what type of man I wanted for my body!
I was determined not to live my life the way society dictated, back then. And yes, I come from the generation of bra burning women!
Learning to cook from scratch at an early age, gave me the confidence to know I could explore beyond recipes, and create a cuisine that most reflected me.
When I became of age, I adopted that same attitude about my sex life. I wanted a healthy body from the food I prepared and a healthy sexual life from the choices I would make.
My decisions to be the one in control of my life, led me to the most amazing discovery that also contributed to a healthier sex life, one not spoken about by girlie magazines or even my gynecologist.
A Healthy Body Image Begins Early In Life
What tween hasn’t already begun to study her body and the reflection she sees in the mirror, and measure herself against her besties at that age?
The moment those hormonal changes begin to develop our body into the woman we will become physically, is when women’s sexual health should be taught to all women.
Imaging is so much more than the clothes we wear, style of our hair and boyfriends we attract at any age of life.
The sexual relationships we will experience throughout our lives will depend heavily on the paths we choose based on the images we have of ourselves, and what we choose to allow in the relationships we will have.
Looking And Feeling Sexy Isn’t Just For 30 Year Olds
My purpose in writing this blog post for you is not to address the issues often talked about when ‘sex’ is the topic on the table: from sexual desire to female sexual dysfunction.
We all know that throughout various times of our life, from the time we have to think about birth control to ward off unplanned pregnancy, until the time in life we are confronted with the vaginal dryness of older adults and physical changes, we have to admit we all want to look and feel our best no matter what our sexual concerns are at any time in life.
A Healthy Female Self Image Happens Head To Toe
Having been a cosmetologist for 40 years I became aware that my job was not just to make a client’s hair or skin look great, but to become something of a therapist as well, afterall the beauty salon setting is among one of life’s safe and intimate settings for discussion.
Over the years I heard everything from issues triggered by a menstrual cycle, midlife women and their sexual problems, to fireworks that disappeared for postmenopausal women.
Hah, and to think hair and skin would be the primary topic!
We women seek much of what we want to know and use it to develop our own opinions on what we hear from other women.
So why was this valuable piece of information I write about, in my recent book My Essence, not being shared among women?
I know now that it surely would have helped in solving many sexual issues women have throughout their lives.
Why I Wrote A Book About Female Sexuality
A fascinating seed of knowledge was planted in my life, long after intimate relationships had left their mark on what would become ‘my stories’.
Fortunately though, that seed of valuable information arrived before I reached an age of wondering if sexual encounters were no longer important to me. Somewhere around the age of 50, I’d say.
Our world today spends so much time and money researching and talking about: safer sex, reproductive health, a satisfying sex life and so many other topics that put our sex life in the trusted hands of a healthcare professional, and yet this seed of knowledge passed onto me… no one was talking about.
And so I knew it was my responsibility to pass on what I had discovered, though this book is not going to sit well with every woman!
My Essence Is Written For Ultimate Healthy Female Sexuality
The natural fluids a woman’s body, those released from her ‘girlie’ parts (not her urethra), are what can, and do address so many sexual dysfunctions women encounter.
Why has this information not readily been available to us women?
Several doctors and a health research scientist friend of mine said, it is because there is no money to be made in the healthcare industry on this piece of information. Blah!
The Important Role Female Ejaculation Plays In Female Sexual Function
Did you know that a woman is able to ejaculate more fluids from her ‘girlie’ parts, than a man ejaculates from his guy parts? And no, this has nothing to do with orgasm.
These fluids contain valuable health properties that can nourish our own body at any age or stage in a woman’s life.
They certainly are the answer to the need for vaginal moisturizers, but more than that, is the serotonin presence naturally found in these fluids.
Serotonin is a crucial neurotransmitter that plays a vital role in numerous bodily functions, impacting mood and other health functions.
Since serotonin also acts as a chemical messenger, transmitting signals between nerve cells and influencing various physiological and behavioral processes, it would behoove scientists to examine the role these naturally occurring fluids in the female body, could play in regards to psychological health.
Female Sexual Health
Back in 2005, when I first made this discover, there was nothing about it on the internet, and so I spent much time researching on my own, and experimenting until I had solid proof, evidence, and results I could share with others.
I compiled my research and experience into a book I intended to publish, but lost my nerve to put myself out there, as though I had 3 eyes, and risk embarrassment and ridicule.
Fast forward 20 years, having experienced many years of a superb quality of life, no loss of sex drive (now into my 70’s), no medical conditions and still feeling as though I am 50 years of age, I knew it was time to revise my original writings, and give you all I have on this information.

I believe the table... that place that draws people to gather, is the most powerful symbol of togetherness. All that happens before the table is set, the planning, the gathering, the preparing, are all an intricate part of the dance that create the mood of celebration to share with friends and loved ones.
