Every February we celebrate Valentine's Day by giving flowers, candy and cards to those we love. We do this in honor of Saint Valentine. You may be wondering, "Who is this St. Valentine"? Time to brush up on your Valentine's history!
Legend has it that Valentine was a priest who served during third century Rome. There was an Emperor at that time by the name of Claudius II. Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those that were married. With this thought in mind he outlawed marriage for young men in hopes of building a stronger military base. Supposedly, Valentine decided this decree just wasn't fair and chose to marry young couples secretly. When Emperor Claudius II found out about Valentine's actions he had him put to death.
Another legend has it that Valentine was an imprisoned man who fell in love with his jailor's daughter. Before he was put to death he sent the first 'valentine' himself when he wrote her a letter and signed it 'Your Valentine', words still used on cards today.
So who is this cupid and what does he have to do with Valentines’ Day? Another valentine gentleman you may be wondering about is Cupid (Latin cupido, "desire"). In Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus, goddess of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros, god of love. Cupid is often said to be a mischievous boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows, causing them to fall in love.
Did you know that the U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide? This makes Valentines’ Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year, behind Christmas!
Perhaps we'll never know the true identity and story behind the man named St. Valentine or Cupid but this much is for sure...February has been the month to celebrate love for a long time, dating clear back to the Middle Ages.

wish I could look like Erica, sexy and so desired unfortunately the beard gives me away, but despite my looks I love being dressed in frilly silky items of sexual desire, oh to be desired by a woman , for what I am
I recently turned 40 and as my body undergoes changes and my life reaches a new level, I gradually find myself enjoying being in touch with my fem side more. It is a wonderful feeling of relief to see a website like this one that has so many interesting people to interact with.
