LGBT International Film Festival in Florence

November 15, 2011 By: florenceblogger Category: Florence

Since its inception, the LGBT community has created various events, marches, happenings, different protest  options as well as information dissemination and educational meetings  to create a better dialogue with the dominant hetero  culture  which remains nowadays as the general sexual pattern in Western society.  Despite that there have been  many centuries of gay and lesbian knowledge and practices, the heterosexual community continues to dominate the planet. The presence of religious texts like the Bible as well as many other texts of a religious order, let us know that  the line of religion and political power have always been together. This is not new, certainly religious beliefs or faiths  of any creed are above any book, religion or faith. The church above all, “churches” have served as centers of education and control of prevailing political powers.

Let´s say that today, in Europe and elsewhere, governments have a secular tendency. But what is apparently “secular” does not necessarily mean “tolerant.” Think of recent bans in France with regard to the prohibitions to pray or pray in public, among others prohibitions. What will be the next step? And what happens if one is gay and Muslim at the same time? Again, faith is above any sexual orientation, but political and religious controls demonize this reality, deny it. It is clear that the Muslim culture is much more anti-tolerant to these options. However, the reality of the Judeo-Christian “Western” society is not so different.

The Catholic Church has always been a very strong in Italy. Where the Vatican coffers and retains all its inexhaustible sources of money, of which not much is said, and the fact is that the LGBT community is not necessarily appropriate. Over the years, this has been changing and it is increasingly recognized that the LGBT community is more than present in Italy this has been possible thanks to a large number of activists, protests, cultural events and celebrations that provide presence the ever emerging LGBT community. Among these options you have the LGBT International Film Festival in Florence, which runs from November 25th to December 1st. The best of gay , lesbian, queer, LGBT cinema, call it as you like is ready to be viewed and enjoyed. The truth is that there is difference, and the difference is what really counts.

Festival of San Giovanni and the Gay Friendly Florencia

June 17, 2011 By: florenceblogger Category: Florence

Oh Florence! One of the most beautiful cities in Europe. As you know, Florence was the medieval trading center when the Medici family were the lords, it  was also the center of the Italian Renaissance: Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli… The art and architecture of Florence is something to fall in love with.., its narrow streets are full of curious passengers who crowd the city taking photos especially in the summer.

However, Florence is best at night, when tourists go to  sleep. Then the best that this city can offer starts. You can visit the Piazza di Santa Croce and Piazza della Signoria and enjoy the intimacy that darkness offer. Nothing sexier! Strolling across Ponte Vecchio has a super exciting atmosphere as you walk near the river.

On June 24th the Festa di San Giovanni & Calcio Storico Fiorentino, takes place, celebrating the patron saint of the city, San Juan Bautista. The festivities include beautiful fireworks that start at 22.00 hours until 23.00h. For a great viewing experience, please go to the banks of the Arno River, We guarantee an unforgettable experience. On the same day, the final futbol match with costumes is celebrated. Fiorentino Calcio Storico, which some claim to be the original source of modern football  (we mean American football or rugby football)

Although  it is not similar to American football, this competition probably dates from when soldiers  played in their camps between battles, as to maintain a strong muscular body, and as to improve or learn combat skills for young soldiers who were still being trained. Now, being all male full-contact sport, it´s a homoerotic delight  of color, sweat and strength that will zap your senses

And speaking of gay friendly speaking activities, the first gay disco in Italy was opened in Florence back in 1974. Today, the gay bars and clubs in the city are somewhat small but not impossible to find. Nevertheless, our beautiful Florence is still somewhat conservative … A club you cannot miss is the Crisco Club, promoted as as the “worst” gay bar in Florence on their own website, this place is highly recommended to leave it all behind and dance and act mega crazy. They also have a dark room where you can spend a “romantic” moment with new friends. They also organize theme parties, among others  the  ”Nude & Underwear” party  something to drool and to dance to all night long. Another good place worth visiting is club “Fabrik”,  15 km from Florence unmissable if you want a night of debauchery away from the city. Especially appealing to “Bears.” For more information on gay activities in Florence, you can visit this site

Clittage – an alternative to sex

May 18, 2011 By: florenceblogger Category: Florence

Sometimes couples who have been together a while need some kind sexual restoration in order to feel seduced once again, and to strengthen the love ties. Young people – always interested in new stuff – seek out unfamiliar sexual environments, to surprise their partners, pushing bedroom boundaries. This is where clittage comes in.

clittage

By clittage we mean a sex act which is out of the ordinary. It is stimulation using the pelvis. Pelvis to pelvis, with no hands – in fact, the hands are used to touch other parts of the body for pleasure such as the back, or the nape of the neck. Kissing is also very important…

Meanwhile, the pelvis is grinding. but without penetration – which is where the name clittage comes from; female orgasm from the man´s stimulation of the clitoris.

This is something enjoyed by both men and women alike – it´s unconventional, and it prolongs the sex, and excitement. The key is the learn to enjoy it, and give in to it. Using a lubricant makes things easier, but it´s not obligatory.
