So I was reading my text book for my Emotions class and I stumbled across a very intriguing passage in the evolution chapter:
" Across our primate relatives, sexuality varies drastically. Chimpanzees are sexually promiscuous. Once she is sexually mature at age 15, a female chimpanzee advertises her sexual receptiveness by a large pink patch of sexual skin. During the period of sexual advertisement, typicall lasting 10 days, the female may copulate several dozen times a day, with all or most of the adult males in her socal group. Aggression and jockeying for access to female chimpanzees are common among the male chimpanzees. "
Let that sink in a bit.....and here's the next passage:
"Bonobos are less agressive than common chimpanzees, and their social lives seem to revolve almost entirely around sex. Bonobo females are sexually active for about five years before they become fertile. They copulate freely with many of the adult males in their immediate social group. Sexual contact amongst the bonobos is the basis of friendships, conflict reduction and play. "
Ok so I'm not advocating casual sex by any means because I am a firm believer in waiting until you love someone, but isn't it just a wee bit interesting that these carnal creatures are supposedly in our direct line of ancestry? What happened down the road that changed our carnal and physical instinct? Well, it wasn't necessarily changed but rather controlled- dormant if you will (for most of us, that is). I just thought this was an interesting passage and explained why humans are so incredibly consumed with sexual thoughts and desires...because it's instinctual! Anyways, enough Discovery Channel, let's get to the good stuff!
For the first time in a long time I do not have a particular interest in anyone. I know that the basis of this blog is our juicy stories with men, but I am going through a self-reflection process. I believe this process will allow me to love myself again-something I have been trying to pawn off on my crushes. I am motivated and ready for a new me- something that will not only rejuvenate my confidence but bring men to my doorstep. For those of you who think men want some gorgeous pin up girl who's mysterious and a little bit feisty, that may be bonus points, but the real thing they are looking for (in a companion NOT a bootycall) is CONFIDENCE. You can't fake it because it is an aura that surrounds you-an aura that is seen by men and feared by women. The number one thing women can't stand about other women is confidence. Just like our primate relatives, we fight for the opposite sex and in this crazy jungle we call Miami, it's survival of the most confident, intelligent and aggressive that get the men they want :)
So until I have an interesting story, new flavor or another crazy passage from one of my textbooks, you'll most likely be hearing from Vivi a lot. Next Friday night we have a lovely mixer with the brothers of ...for discretionary purposes we'll call them "the nice guys". I am very interested to see what goes down, especially because that is Frank's (Vivi's flavor) fraternity. (At the mention of this Vivi is probably thinking, "Kill me." Because that is what she says lol).
Until next time,

I'd like to say it would be fun to be a chimpanzee, but I'm just too tired.
