Books for the Modern Feminist
In the past 10 or so years, a revolution has been reignited. Not so different than that of the "bra burning" women of the 60s, or the suffragists of the early 20th century, women are demanding equality. Today, we call them modern feminists. What is a modern feminist? Well, really, it's anyone who believes in equality despite gender. A modern feminist can be a woman, or a man, of any age, ethnicity, or sexual preference. In a world where the tides are changing and women are becoming as successful and influential as men, it's the right time for the right questions to be asked.

Cancer Sex Astrology
Fire, earth, air, and water are the four elements essential to life. Each needs the other to exist, yet they can also end each others existence. The same can be said for the zodiac sign that falls under each element. The 12 signs of the zodiac are split evenly between the four elements, each being categorized by the personality traits that defined them. Compatibly in friendship, love, and sex is directly correlated to the element that controls each signed. Cancers, born between June 21 and July 22, are a water sign, and some of the most emotional of the zodiac. Cancer's sex astrology is defined by their deeply compassionate and sensitive dispositions.

Best Worst Paranormal Movies
The paranormal movie is truly a staple of cinematic history. Ever since The Exorcist, ghosts, ghouls, and all sorts of unexplainable phenomena have invaded our screens. We’ve seen films like The Sixth Sense and Paranormal Activity arrive from this newfound fascination with the paranormal, but just like every other fad in the movie world, there are some stinkers to pair with the great movies. The problem is, judging the quality of these movies by the trailers seems to be an increasingly difficult challenge, and therefore people have been tricked into seeing some, to put it bluntly, metaphorical dumpster trucks on fire. The best worst paranormal movies will make you laugh so hard you scream.

Gemini Sex Astrology
Look up into the night sky and see the stars. To some, they are just tiny specks of light in the atmosphere, to others, they are a guide. Do a collection of constellations determine the events of our lives? The scientific validity of many aspects of astrology has never been proven, yet people still believe in it. Believers ask themselves every day, how their sign will effect their finances, their job, and most importantly, their relationships. According to the stars, certain signs are more sexually compatible with some than others. For Geminis, whose birthday falls between May 20th and June 20th, sex astrology is heavily determined by the two sides of the Twins that represent them.

Guide to Leg Body Language
More than half of communication is delivered through body language, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re all speaking the same language. The way you cross your legs, tilt your head, or even blink can give off a message that you may or may not be intending to give. Ever heard the phrase, "Women are from Venus, men are from mars?" Women and men are rarely on the same page, so it should come as no surprise to any of us that body language can be as tough to interpret as any other foreign language. Think she’s being coy? She’s probably just bored. Ladies, think you’re being confident? Surprise! You’re actually a frigid bitch! How do we level the playing field when men and women look at the world so differently? You tell both sides of the story. Men and women take note, we can all learn a little something about non-verbal communication and what exactly it is that we are saying.

How to Make a Sex Playlist
Make sure you can still hear the safe word over the sounds of the stereo. When it comes to knocking boots, the perfect sex playlist can do wonders to stimulate you and your partner. However, making the perfect sex playlist can arouse some real problems. If the tempo is too slow, you’ll be left struggling to stay excited. Yet if the tempo is too upbeat, you’ll be stuck in a fast forward cowgirl position and before you know it, you’ll be finished before your first song is. Therefore, Filthy Gorgeous Media recommends songs that will vary in both tempo and lyrics in order to achieve the right level of satisfaction. Just be sure that you aren’t tempted to sing-a-long to the songs in your sex playlist. These songs are just meant to be background noise, or in some cases, to muffle the moans of pleasure. So whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, like Valentine’s Day, or just looking to change things up when you go to place your needle in her record groove, making a sex playlist will help!

Space Disaster Movies
"Astronomy compels the soul to look upward, and leads us from this world to another." Plato's quote from The Republic is certainly becoming a reality. The Martian, a film released on October 2nd, 2015, looked at the possibility of a manned mission to Mars more extensively than moviegoers had ever seen. Based on Andy Weir's The Martian, a novel by the same name, the film is about astronaut Mark Watney who gets left behind on Mars after his team presumes him dead following an intense storm. All alone, he must create his own food and find water in order to survive while constantly trying to contact Earth to tell them he's alive. However, this isn’t the first space disaster movie and it will not be the last. The reason space disaster movies are so popular is that a majority of space is still unexplored territory for humans. With so much that is unknown, there are major fears about what happens if someone gets stranded out there. Some of the best space disaster movies involve the simple idea of getting disconnected from the space station while others involve hostile alien life forms attacking those in deep space.
