Blue Ivy Wears a Little Crown on Her Bun For Outing With Jay Z and Beyonce

Jay Z was spotted carrying little Blue Ivy on Father's Day on an outing with Beyoncé at the Domino Sugar Factory in New York City, and as you can see, Blue Ivy’s hair is neatly styled in a bun.

I don't for a moment think the public petition to comb their daughter’s hair had anything to do with Beyonce and Jay Z deciding to put her hair in a bun. In fact, this not the first time we’ve seen Blue Ivy with a different hair style.

But it’s certainly cute to see that little crown on top of her bun, a queenly message to the bad belle people, maybe? Or Blue Ivy's a diva, just like her mother :)

See more pictures below with some older shots of Blue Ivy with her hair in a bun.

REVEALED: The REAL Differences Between ‘Making Love’ & ‘S*x’ 18+

 
It is often said that “making love” is just a euphemism for “having s*x.” To be sure, these terms are frequently used interchangeably. Unfortunately, this common use (or misuse) can mask the important distinction between these 2 activities. Indeed many people who have “good s*x” mistake it for love only to find out that their apparent lover was not the person with whom they cared to spend their life with.

This is not to proclaim the moral, or prudential, superiority of making love. Indeed some would prefer to just have s*x. “S*x alleviates Tension,” “Love causes it.” (tension) Still, it is important that one gets what one wants.Of course, making love (as distinct from being in love) necessarily involves having s*x. But having s*x, even great s*x, is not necessarily making love, for example just as a nice cool beer is not a glass of wine. Truly, some may prefer the taste of the one to the other, and a beer may be the drink of choice on a given occasion (say, at a BBQ party); but it would indeed be unfortunate if one ordered a glass of Guinness in an inti-mate setting and was served a galss of Star.

So are you making love or just having s*x? Are you getting what you really want? And if not, how can you get it?

The first of these 3 questions can be answered only if one knows the difference between having s*x versus making love. But this, in turn, requires pinning down the meanings of each. Procreation is not the essential purpose of having s*x; so you are not doing anything wrong (that is, mis-using your body) if you are having s*x without trying to get pregnant. Indeed, according to research , there is no essential purpose to s*x beyond fulfilling your desire for contact with another person’s body.

Inasmuch as s*x is a desire for physical contact with someone else’s body, it is a mechanical activity. Rubbing, Touching, Caressing, Kissing, Su-king and, of course, Interc*urse, as fulfillments of a desire for physical contact, are all s*xual activities in this sense. Here, a key word is “mechanical” because these activities are essentially ways of mechanically stimulating or arousing oneself. Per se, they are self-regarding; they seek self-gratification, fulfillment of a purely self-interested desire. As distinct from mere s*x, love-making dissolves the gap between “you” and “me.” The resolution, however, is not “us” because “we” can still be divided. Instead, in love-making there is the mutual consciousness of unbounded unity without partition, love is “composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.” In making love, your loins are mine, and mine yours. The titillations of mine are yours also, and yours mine My past, present, and future; my hopes, dreams, and expectation; and yours, merge as one—not two—persons, It is an ecstatic feeling that defies any breach in Oneness. It takes two to Tango, and so too does it take (at least) two to make love. Unreciprocated love-making is unsuccessful love-making. The flames of love-making are quick to die when one gives oneself, body and soul, only to be turned away. Where the other seeks only a body, wanting only s*x, love-making is squandered even if it is not (at least at first) apparent to the one attempting to make love. It is a counterfeit if based on pretense because there is duality, not unity, and there is manipulation and objectification, not authentic, mutual respect.

For you, is it love making or just s*x?
(1.) It may be “making love” if both people’s entire bodies are loved on. It may be only “having s*x” if it’s mostly about the genitals and what’s done with them.
(2.) If all sorts of different emotions are felt during a s*xual encounter, these emotions can be shared and also empathized with, its more likely to be “making love”. If only s*xual feelings are felt and shown, it’s more likely to be “having s*x”.
(3.) Possibly it’s “making love” when there is the inclusion of the very tender, the closely inti-mate, and the sweetly precious along with the passionate and the powerful. Possibly it’s “having s*x” when it’s all simple, raw, quick, rough or boring s*x.
(4.) It may be “about love” if “No” is an OK answer to a s*xual request. It may be just “having power trip s*x” if s*xual desires are expressed as demands, followed by punishing rejection if the demands are not complied with.
(5.) If before, during, and after a s*xual episode you feel a pleasing sense of warmth and a happy sense of bonding, it could be “making love”. If these or similar feelings are lacking, even if it was fantastically great s*x, it may not have been making love but rather “having s*x”.
(6.) In an ongoing series of s*xual events with a partner, it’s more likely to be “making love” if there is a fairly wide variety in the intensity, amount of time, and amount of energy involved and, therefore, lazy s*x, silly s*x, mental s*x, sleepy s*x, and no cli-max s*x can all be part of the ongoing picture. It’s more likely to be “having s*x” if it’s usually pretty much the same experience over and over again.
(7.) When having s*x makes you want to know and experience your partner more, be increasingly close, and do more of life together, it is more likely to be “making love”. If having s*x ends with just a feeling of being finished and wanting to get on with something else apart from your partner, it could be just “having s*x”.
(8.) If following s*x there is an inner dialogue of self-demeaning focus or partner-demeaning focus, criticism, derogatory thoughts, etc. it’s more likely to have been just a form of poor conflicted “having s*x”. If, however, after s*x there is an inner and outer dialogue of affirmation, appreciation, honoring and celebration, it may have been “making love”.
(9.) It may be “making love” if there are lots of responding in kind to each loving touch, movement, word, kiss, sound, caress, look, etc.. It may be “having s*x” if there is only short, mild, or no responsiveness, or if responses are made only to that which is blatantly s*xual.
(10.) It could be about “making love” if whatever you want, or don’t want, can be talked about freely and lovingly. It may be “having poor or restricted s*x” if there are earnest putdowns, critical remarks, rejection statements, or shaming words and actions given for expressing different s*xual thoughts or desires.
(11.) It could be making love if there is as much, or more focus on pleasuring as being pleasured. It’s more likely just to be having s*x if satisfaction of the self is the prime goal.
(12.) ‘Wild s*x’, ‘kinky s*x’, ‘dirty s*x’, etc. all can be part of making love if there is real care and concern for a s*x partner’s happiness and well-being along with adequate safeguarding. All the many forms of s*xuality without loving care and concern as an integrated part just may be different ways to be having s*x.
(13.) It really could be making love if all levels and types of one’s physical s*xual response and reaction system are acceptable and lovingly treated. If the physical s*xual system of the self, or of the partner, does not respond as desired and that leads to emotional and/or relational dissonance, it probably is more about s*x than love.
(14) It is more likely to be love making if there are a lot of mutual all over gentle caresses, tender kisses, terms of endearment, cuddles, and loving looks leading up to, during and especially following orgasms or following a nap after orgasm. It might be having s*x if all that’s going on are actions that directly assist getting to a cli*ax.
(15) Making love more likely is occurring when there are feelings of deep connectedness, high appreciation and high valuing of the unique personal aspects of the partner and of the relationship with the partner. If there are worries about what the partner is thinking of you, of your s*xual expertise, of your masculinity or femininity, of your attractiveness, etc. then maybe it’s more about having insecure s*x.
(16) If there are repeated insistences or demands for certain s*x practices (including interc*urse and clim*x), and without those practices bad feelings and relationship troubles occur, it might be more about having s*x than making love. If there is a free-flowing variety of s*xual requests with alternates being lovingly accepted ,then it’s more likely to be about making love.
(17) It’s much more likely to be about love making when s*xual encounters lead to a greater love of life, general sense of being uplifted, sense of awe, appreciation of beauty and higher self love. If the experience leads to a sense of lowered self worth, to indifference, to a desire to get away, to a sense of lonely aloneness or despair, etc. it may have been having unfulfilling s*x.
(18) When there is a sense of conquest, scoring, using, defeating, proving potency or self importance, of lowering another’s value, getting even, etc. it’s not likely to be about making love. When there is a sense of mutual enrichment, shared joy, giving and getting benefit, and having done a really good, natural thing then it’s much more likely to be making love.
(19) If there are restrictions on verbal or behavioral expressions of strong, vigorous, powerful, potent s*xuality along with insistence on only verbally expressing reassurance, commitment, devotion, or tender love and on all s*x actions being mild, it could be that having insecurity-filled s*x is what’s really happening. When a wide variety of expressions of s*xuality along with free-flowing expressions of love are being enjoyed, lovemaking with ero-ticism is more likely.
(20) Feeling proud, blessed, delighted, cherished, sublime, glorious, excellent, and of course well loved tends to go with quality love making.
(21) If there is a lot of guilt, shame, disgust, fear, depression, anxiety, repulsion, etc. then it seems there probably is not enough healthy self-love and self care happening while having s*x. If there is a sense of healthy self-fulfillment, mixed with care and concern for a partner’s pleasure, well-being and fulfillment, then love making more likely is occurring.
(22) If when contemplating a s*xual encounter there is a fear of failing, performing inadequately, not living up to a standard, or somehow being insufficient then perhaps it’s about having ‘performance’ s*x. When whatever happens is okay and able to be treated with mutual lovingness and fun, and when there is a continuance of sensuous and loving actions even when there is a ‘oops’, then good healthy making love more probably is in evidence.
(23) It probably just was having great s*x if wonderful ero-tic excitement, intense pleasure and saturating satisfaction resulted. However, if there also was added feelings of marvelous union, cosmic connection and spiritual elation then possibly it was great s*x with great love making.
(24.) It’s probably making love when there is a high valuing of the partner, the ero-tic experience of the partner, and the all over relationship with the partner. It’s probably having s*x if the s*xual experience itself is the only thing being valued.
In conclusion it’s imperative that as spouses, we need to self evaluate ourselves every now and again to see if we are satisfying ourselves in the area of love making. Now this is to the women : We must ensure as women we are not just having s*x with our husbands or just sleeping with them so that they wont go to another woman, we should try to make love to them, satisfy them, try something new with them and satisfy ourselves in the process.

Do You Agree With This Sex Advice By a Pastor's Wife to Young Brides?

 
by Ruth Smythers, beloved wife of The Reverend L.D. Smythers, Pastor of the Arcadian Methodist Church of the Eastern Regional Conference.

INSTRUCTION AND ADVICE FOR THE YOUNG BRIDE on the Conduct and Procedure of the Intimate and Personal Relationships of the Marriage State for the Greater Spiritual Sanctity of this Blessed Sacrament and the Glory of God.

To the sensitive young woman who has had the benefits of proper upbringing, the wedding day is, ironically, both the happiest and most terrifying day of her life.  On the positive side, there is the wedding itself, in which the bride is the central attraction in a beautiful and inspiring ceremony, symbolizing her triumph in securing a male to provide for all her needs for the rest of her life.  On the negative side, there is the wedding night, during which the bride must pay the piper, so to speak, by facing for the first time the terrible experience of sex.

At this point, dear reader, let me concede one shocking truth. Some young women actually anticipate the wedding night ordeal with curiosity and pleasure!  Beware such an attitude!  A selfish and sensual husband can easily take advantage of such a bride.

One cardinal rule of marriage should never be forgotten:  GIVE LITTLE, GIVE SELDOM, AND ABOVE ALL, GIVE GRUDGINGLY.  Otherwise what could have been a proper marriage could become an orgy of sexual lust.

On the other hand, the bride's terror need not be extreme. While sex it at best revolting and at worse rather painful, it has to be endured, and has been by women since the beginning of time, and is compensated for by the monogamous home and by the children produced through it. It is useless, in most cases, for the bride to prevail upon the groom to forego the sexual initiation.  While the ideal husband would be one who would approach his bride only at her request and only for the purpose of begetting offspring, such nobility and unselfishness cannot be expected from the average man.

Most men, if not denied, would demand sex almost every day. The wise bride will permit a maximum of two brief sexual experiences weekly during the first months of marriage. As time goes by she should make every effort to reduce this frequency.

Feigned illness, sleepiness, and headaches are among the wife's best friends in this matter. Arguments, nagging, scolding, and bickering also prove very effective, if used in the late evening about an hour before the husband would normally commence his seduction.

Clever wives are ever on the alert for new and better methods of denying and discouraging the amorous overtures of the husband. A good wife should expect to have reduced sexual contacts to once a week by the end of the first year of marriage and to once a month by the end of the fifth year of marriage.

By their tenth anniversary many wives have managed to complete their child bearing and have achieved the ultimate goal of terminating all sexual contacts with the husband.  By this time she can depend upon his love for the children and social pressures to hold the husband in the home. Just as she should be ever alert to keep the quantity of sex as low as possible, the wise bride will pay equal attention to limiting the kind and degree of sexual contacts.  Most men are by nature rather perverted, and if given half a chance, would engage in quite a variety of the most revolting practices.  These practices include among others performing the normal act in abnormal positions; mouthing the female body; and offering their own vile bodies to be mouthed in turn.

Nudity, talking about sex, reading stories about sex, viewing photographs and drawings depicting or suggesting sex are the obnoxious habits the male is likely to acquire if permitted.

A wise bride will make it the goal never to allow her husband to see her unclothed body, and never allow him to display his unclothed body to her.  Sex, when it cannot be prevented, should be practiced only in total darkness.  Many women have found it useful to have thick cotton nightgowns for themselves and pajamas for their husbands.  These should be donned in separate rooms.  They need not be removed durning the sex act.  Thus, a minimum of flesh is exposed.

Once the bride has donned her gown and turned off all the lights, she should lie quietly upon the bed and await her groom.  When he comes groping into the room she should make no sound to guide him in her direction, lest he take this as a sign of encouragement.  She should let him grope in the dark.  There is always the hope that he will stumble and incur some slight injury which she can use as an excuse to deny him sexual access.

When he finds her, the wife should lie as still as possible. Bodily motion on her part could be interpreted as sexual excitement by the optimistic husband.

If he attempts to kiss her on the lips she should turn her head slightly so that the kiss falls harmlessly on her cheek instead.  If he attempts to kiss her hand, she should make a fist. If he lifts her gown and attempts to kiss her anyplace else she should quickly pull the gown back in place, spring from the bed, and announce that nature calls her to the toilet.  This will generally dampen his desire to kiss in the forbidden territory.

If the husband attempts to seduce her with lascivious talk, the wise wife will suddenly remember some trivial non-sexual question to ask him.  Once he answers she should keep the conversation going, no matter how frivolous it may seem at the time.

Eventually, the husband will learn that if he insists on having sexual contact, he must get on with it without amorous embellishment. The wise wife will allow him to pull the gown up no farther than the waist, and only permit him to open the front of his pajamas to thus make connection.

She will be absolutely silent or babble about her housework while his huffing and puffing away. Above all, she will lie perfectly still and never under any circumstances grunt or groan while the act is in progress. As soon as the husband has completed the act, the wise wife will start nagging him about various minor tasks she wishes him to perform on the morrow. Many men obtain a major portion of their sexual satisfaction from the peaceful exhaustion immediately after the act is over.  Thus the wife must insure that there is no peace in this period for him to enjoy. Otherwise, he might be encouraged to soon try for more.

One heartening factor for which the wife can be grateful is the fact that the husband's home, school, church, and social environment have been working together all through his life to instill in him a deep sense of guilt in regards to his sexual feelings, so that he comes to the marriage couch apologetically and filled with shame, already half cowed and subdued.  The wise wife seizes upon this advantage and relentlessly pursues her goal first to limit, later to annihilate completely her husband's desire for sexual expression.

Kim Kardashian Talks Wedding Day Surprise, Thinks She'll Always Be in "Honeymoon Period"

Kim Kardashian has opened up for the first time about the most romantic day of her life.
In an interview with The Daily Mail on Wednesday, Kim was asked about the experience of Andrea Bocelli singing while she walked down the aisle, a surprise arranged for his bride by Kanye West.
"I got up the altar and didn’t even see him standing there,” Kim said. “And I turned around when my sisters were helping me fix my veil, and I did a double-take - I thought it was a CD of him singing."

Kardashian added that she was "blown away" by Bocelli's appearance (because Kim Kardashian is clearly a huge opera fan) and that it was "so Kanye" to come up with that kind of shocker.
With Kimye approaching its one-month anniversary, the newlywed also sounded rather excited about all the good times to perpetually come.
"I feel as though we’ll always be in the honeymoon period," she said, implying, we guess, that the couple will forever be Photoshopping wedding pics for Instagram.
"We always say we really like to treat each other like it’s our birthday," she added. "I try to treat him like it’s his birthday every single day. We always try to make life as fun and enjoyable as possible."

Marriage is not an ongoing honeymoon. She and Kanye most definitely will have very hard times, as even the healthiest relationships do. It's how they overcome those difficult periods that says a lot more about their love than how they act on a multi-million dollar, all expenses paid vacation.)
"We do travel, and work really hard," Kardashian said with a straight face. "But we’re always on the phone 24/7 – [we're] just trying to make that time as memorable as possible."
