Do i Have Stories to Share…………
October 9, 2007Hello to everyone out there. My name is Eleanor and i have decided to be heard. I have been back in town for four years and boy, do i have stories to share
Hopefully, this site will string together all of us to represent life and mankind as we all see it at the end of the twentieth century and hope to take your hearts and minds to certain moments of maximum emotional and creative pressure. This site will represent all of us - a wide range of men, women, children, young, old, fat, thin, affluent, impoverished, gay, straight or still working out the details, fit, disabled, those possessed of self-esteem or those who struggle to stay afloat from victim hood or abuse.
As a woman approaching two-thirds of my life and who has been through every imaginable fantastic and heartbreaking experience, I will try to capture the world together today with all of you through my newfound joy - sharing all I have learned through others and my own experiences - assuring that we make a continuous journey on this earth through compassion and kindness, making sure we leave behind something good for the next generation. Having said all that, let's leave the serious side for the meantime and begin to have some fun.
One of the more interesting things of what i do is that my partner and and I own a sensuality store, what most people call a "sex shop." It's called The Pleasure Place, located at the Metrowalk Commercial Complex, ground floor, right beside HBC on Meralco Avenue, corner Ortigas. It's been around for four years.
We also have a small branch at D'Mall New Annex, Station2, Boracay Island, and an upcoming branch to open its doors in Quezon City in March 2008. It is located on Tomas Morato, corner Monrdinian in a newly constructed three-story glass mall Called "La Terrezza's". We are located on the upper lobby.
The Pleasure Place was founded on the premise that there's more sexual pleasure available than most people experience, and that achieving this pleasure should not be difficult, dangerous or expensive. All you need is the openess of mind. The store's mission to to provide access to sexual materials and accurate sex information to combat the fear, ignorance, bias, and insecurity that prevent too many of us from enjoying the sexual pleasure that is our birthright.We have numerous customers telling us how refreshing it is to shop at a women-owned business, as they feel that our "clean, well-lighted" environment is equally appealing to men and women.
We are strict on the policy that no minors are allowed unless accompanied by a consenting adult. We take great pride in the revolutionary nature of our work. For one thing, we believe that sex toys are inherently revolutionary. Not only are they self-assertion tools-no dildo is ever going to pressure you into an encounter against your will-but when you plug in a vibrator, you are affirming that you deserve to experience pleasure for pleasure's sake. I am proud to say that The Pleasure Place is the only interactive sensuality store in the whole country. I am at the shop daily, mostly evenings till closing time at midnight.
I am there to greet our customers, prospective couples seeking new adventures,many who are merely curious, or those who finally braved their way in after several visits at the window. Sad to say, a large number of people, men and women alike, are still stigmatized about entering our place, much more being seen in there by friends or acquaintances. It is on this very premise that a whole chapter entitled Good Vibrations on Sex and Sexuality of this site will be devoted to creating a healthy sexual self-image and self-esteem. Clearly, self-esteem is an integral part of your sexuality. Self-acceptance is a pre-requisite for any intimate relationship-especially the one for yourself. Whether you are gathering the nerve to try a new sex toy or preparing to negotiate a sexual scene with a partner, the more confidence you bring to a sexual encounter the more likely you are to meet with success.
At The Pleasure Place, I have been able to witness first-hand how access to basic sex information and tools can benefit self-esteem. Check out the chapter on Adult Toys on which toy is best for you or for your partner. You may communicate with me through my blog and I will do my best to give you accurate information you are seeking and suggestions/recommendations if help is needed. If i cant do so, I will get back to you by doing some research.
What should I talk about first. I have my hands full of interesting projects, each one more interesting than the next. Before I proceed with what I believe will be the most interesting journey of my life, and that is to share the adventures of this site with all those who cares to join me, I would like to re-affirm that life can be extremely wonderful, useful, joyous, positive and miraculous.
Alas, it can also be painful, confusing, difficult, scary and frustrating. Most times, there are complex issues to deal with and obstacles to overcome on the way to achieving a spectacular life. The good news is that we all have the power to change ourselves and there is only one way to approach how you make choices about your life. By ensuring that your choices are true to your desires and are the best ones for you.
