CLEOPATRA . . . NEFERTITI . . . MOVE OVER!

And let Queen Tiye have some shine. Grandmother of Tutankhamen, mother to Akhenaten (yes, that makes her Nefertiti's mother-in-law) and Queen to Amenhotep III, this Nubian commoner defied tradition, when Amenhotep choose to wed her at a mere 13. (It was custom for pharaohs to marry the daughter of a pharaoh. Which in turn, was his sister - full or half).

Unlike many other "Queen Consorts" Amenhotep, depicted Tiye as his equal. Not only was she highly educated and self taught (and even dabbled in politics), Virginia Spottswood Simon points out "In Tiye, dark brown skin graced wide-arched brows, high cheekbones and a nose with delicately flared nostrils. Full lips curved above a slightly jutting jaw. And, if she met Nubia's physical ideal of feminine beauty, she was broad hipped as well." Yes, indeed, Tiye was a beautiful Nubian Sista.

Her Nubian styles (hair and jewelry of course) even influenced her court. Mostly, her power was felt towards the attitudes of the new "Royal Woman". Akhenaten too, broke tradition when he married Nefertiti; she was not a daughter of a pharaoh either. The Nubian-Kushite royal theory also leaked through Tiye. Nubian Kings gave the throne to their sister's son - not their own. The matriarch importance so high to Nubian hearts only permeated, as Amenhotep III's and Akhenaten's reign were thoroughly Nubian influenced.

A beautiful Queen with no commercial glory or caucasion screen portrayal has fallen in the cracks; however to be summed by the words of her lover, her husband, and Pharaoh:

". . . The Princess, the most praised, the lady of grace, sweet in her love, who fill the palace with her beauty, the Regent of the North and South, the Great Wife of the King who loves her, the lady of both lands, Tiye . . ."

Queen Tiye was indeed a Nubian Queen.

Since we just getting this thing started we didn't have any real questions to voice so we just started with that good old . . .

"Can there really be sex without no strings attached?"
Mahogahni-ButtaFly -Ennui

Mahogahni - Personally I think so. I can be physically attracted to a man and not want to persue a relationship because I am not mentally attracted to him. Therefore, I can be attracted to him enough to have sex but not want to take it even further. Which means, if we do have sex, I will not kiss. That to me is crossing the line and allowing emotions to come into play. Which I guess could be the bigger issue - can you have s w/ no strings and kiss?

ButtaFlyIf you are talking of kissing, then yes, that is rather intimate. I think that is more personal that having sex. I do feel it is possible for this to happen. But as for me, it could never be done. I have tried it but I am too emotional of a person to not let feelings get in the way. not saying I haven't walked away after one (or more) single nights of sex, but on the whole... my feelings have to be there in order for me to open up my legs to someone. So I say it can be done, but it takes a very strong and nonconscious person to do so.

So are you saying that the person has to be cold hearted or devoid of feelings? I think sometimes that's why people can't have one night stands becasue they get wrapped up in the heat and get in a passionate kiss. And if you are a person who has never been kissed properly - that can be dangerous.

Yes,it can be ... I have had some deep passionate kisses that have made me wet from the touch of their lips. I have had some kisses that dried me up faster than water hitting a hot stove. YUCK.... But yeah, you have to disassociate your feelings and have that issue out of the way. Why are kisses more intimate than sex? Shouldn't they be on the same level?

I think kisses are more intimate than sex - because I don't have to look at you. I really don't even have to smell you. Don't even have to feel you. But in kissing - want your smell, I want to look at you, i want to feel you, and when you're in love, a simple graze of his lips on my face, can make my day. If you can have that feeling w/ everybody than nothings special.

But again - are you saying that you have to have no feelings, be cold hearted too achieve sex w/o attachment?

Yes, that is what I'm saying. I'm saying you have to be cold hearted to have sex w/ no strings attached. I mean, you two can't even really be good friends. Even good friends care for one another...

You can care for them but that does not mean you have to want them in a relationship. You do care for that person - because you are satisfying each others needs that maybe they can't get anywhere else.

No, I have tried that before like I said. The one that kissed me so good ended up being my man and the other one who kissed okay I wish I never opened my legs to. I always thought if you were just having sex, you don't really worry about the other person's needs. aren't you just out for self in all of this? i think needs only come into play when it is more than one time. Even then, if you are a cold person, their needs don't matter; only yours.

But still if it's more than one time and we aren't cool - I ain't gon let you get anymore regardless of if we peeps and you want to or not. If it was okay and we're cool and you want some than yeah. I had a casual friend for 2 and 1/2 years and that's how we kept it . . . we didn't want a relationship, we knew we please each other. And when it was time to go . . . we were out.

Ennui - (after reading the above conversation)Personally I am not capable of having sex without being emotionally attached to a person. It does not matter whether or not your kiss creates a waterfall or a desert, in order to share bodily fluids with you I have to have feelings for you. I can say this because I tried the no strings attached sex, it didn't work. At the time, I had no feelings other than visual admiration and curiosity for this person, after sex, I felt a emotional connection of sorts, even though he didn't necessarily satisfy my needs.

Now that is something I can't get down with... especially if the man doesn't satisfy me. I don't have feelings, I have angst and regret written all over my forehead... eventually it goes away and all that is left is, did I really have sex w/ you? oh, I forgot ... I don't even count it.

Oh, you know I know what you saying ButtaFly - but I think to wrap it all up - it depends on your level of emotions. Me - I can do it and have no qualms - which can work both ways - I've built a wall to not feel pain/hurt - if it doesn't work out, if it wasn't satisfying. Unfortunately with the way these chickenheads walking around today - I think some girls take it too far and fuck everybody and anybody. ButtaFly - can go both ways (correct me if I'm worong) but if it's good - you cool and emotions can fall in - but if it's bad - whatever? when? who? and Ennui - she has the last aspect - regardless of how it went she has some sort of attachment and many girls have lost that form of innocence.

So yes, it possible to have sex and not be attached.
