COVER<br />

New Medical Treatment For<br />

Erectile Dysfunction Call<br />

the “P-Shot”<br />

Unfortunately, problems with<br />

sexual health create a large<br />

amount of angst, shame, guilt<br />

and suffer<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

THE LAST WORD<br />

by Greg Pettis<br />

Wow, what a <strong>week</strong>!<br />

The President, the<br />

FBI and...<br />

You would be surprised at<br />

how common this issue is<br />

and how many people are<br />

affected by it. It not only<br />

affects the person with<br />

the physical problem, but<br />

also affects their partner.<br />

Sometimes the partner<br />

beg<strong>in</strong>s <strong>to</strong> feel <strong>in</strong>adequate<br />

because they worry about<br />

their <strong>in</strong>ability <strong>to</strong> arouse<br />

the other person. <strong>This</strong> can<br />

build <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> a repressed sexual<br />

frustration that ultimately<br />

affects the relationship.<br />

New Medical Treatment For<br />

Erectile Dysfunction<br />

What is this new medical procedure?<br />

<strong>This</strong> is a procedure that was <strong>in</strong>vented<br />

by Dr. Runels who studies regenerative<br />

medic<strong>in</strong>e and has an <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> sexual<br />

health. He found that he was able <strong>to</strong> use<br />

regenerative cells <strong>to</strong> enhance the man’s<br />

penis at a younger age, and also enhance<br />

blood flow <strong>to</strong> the penis which helps with<br />

sexual pleasure.<br />

Does it hurt?<br />

It sounds like it would, right? Well, before<br />

the procedure a numb<strong>in</strong>g cream is applied.<br />

Then Dr. Olesnicky performs a dorsal<br />

block <strong>in</strong>jection <strong>to</strong> further numb the area.<br />

Then the growth fac<strong>to</strong>r or possibly stem<br />

cells are <strong>in</strong>jected <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> the area.<br />

What does it do for men?<br />

For a younger man who doesn’t have<br />

trouble achiev<strong>in</strong>g erections it will create<br />

new tissue around the penis <strong>to</strong> add<br />

girth and length and it will <strong>in</strong>crease the<br />

sensitivity of the penis for improved<br />

pleasure. For an older man who has<br />

erectile dysfunction from age, diabetes,<br />

medications, prostate surgery, blood flow<br />

issues and other reasons it will improve the<br />

circulation which will give them a fuller,<br />

harder and longer last<strong>in</strong>g erection. <strong>This</strong><br />

also can br<strong>in</strong>g spontaneity back <strong>to</strong> your sex<br />

life because no one wants <strong>to</strong> s<strong>to</strong>p and take<br />

the blue pill which kills the mood.<br />

How long does it take <strong>to</strong> get results?<br />

Typically, it will take 3 <strong>to</strong> 8 <strong>week</strong>s <strong>to</strong> see<br />

and feel the results. The procedure may<br />

need <strong>to</strong> be repeated for optimal results.<br />

Is this guaranteed?<br />

We can’t guarantee the results, but if a<br />

patient does not improve after 8 <strong>week</strong>s, we<br />

will repeat the procedure at no charge if<br />

they receive it before the 12th <strong>week</strong> after<br />

their <strong>in</strong>itial treatment.<br />

How do I book a procedure?<br />

Just call 760-777-8377 and let the<br />

staff know you want <strong>to</strong> schedule an<br />

appo<strong>in</strong>tment with Dr. Olesnicky for an<br />

evaluation. The charge for the evaluation<br />

is $150 and the doc<strong>to</strong>r will let you know<br />

if you are a candidate for the procedure<br />

and what method is best for you. The<br />

evaluation fee can be applied <strong>to</strong>wards the<br />

procedure. You can also ask when our next<br />

ED Sem<strong>in</strong>ar will be.<br />

MAKING ART - PAINTING<br />

AND COLOR<br />

The LGBT community adopted the<br />

ra<strong>in</strong>bow flag as our community symbol<br />

dur<strong>in</strong>g the 1960.s. The ra<strong>in</strong>bow represents<br />

most of the colors we as humans<br />

can see as reflected <strong>in</strong> the spectrum<br />

of light. These colors were chosen for<br />

the ra<strong>in</strong>bow flag as a representation of<br />

diversity, acceptance, and joy of acknowledgment.<br />

The colors of the ra<strong>in</strong>bow have<br />

been transferred <strong>in</strong><strong>to</strong> the acronym, ROY<br />

G BIV, represent<strong>in</strong>g Red. Orange, Yellow,<br />

Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet.<br />

For anyone plann<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t a basic<br />

understand<strong>in</strong>g of color <strong>in</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t is useful.<br />

The science of color can be discussed <strong>in</strong><br />

volumes. For this discussion the basic<br />

idea of transferr<strong>in</strong>g color as seen <strong>in</strong> the<br />

ra<strong>in</strong>bow <strong>to</strong> pigments mixed with res<strong>in</strong>,<br />

and solvent and other additives <strong>to</strong> make<br />

pa<strong>in</strong>t is the limit of the discussion. The<br />

color wheel which aids <strong>in</strong> understand<strong>in</strong>g<br />

how colors are organized <strong>in</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t, was<br />

discovered by Sir Issac New<strong>to</strong>n <strong>in</strong> the<br />

1600’s. The color wheel helps <strong>in</strong> expla<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />

how color <strong>in</strong> light, the ra<strong>in</strong>bow, is<br />

transferred <strong>to</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t. The color wheel<br />

is organized with the basic 3 colors, of<br />

which all other colors can technically be<br />

made, Red, Yellow and Blue, called the<br />

Primary colors. From the primary colors,<br />

the Secondary colors can be made,<br />

Orange, Green, Violet and Indigo. White<br />

AdamsArtExpose’<br />

which is used <strong>to</strong> reduce or pastel other<br />

colors is made from titanium. Black,<br />

which represent the absence of color is<br />

also part of the pa<strong>in</strong>t color pallet. The<br />

res<strong>in</strong> of which the pa<strong>in</strong>t is made from<br />

can be an oil or water base which is the<br />

solvent used <strong>in</strong> mix<strong>in</strong>g and th<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

A basic set of pa<strong>in</strong>t colors usually <strong>in</strong>clude<br />

the Primary and Secondary colors along<br />

with white and black. For someone first<br />

beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t with colors it would<br />

be useful <strong>to</strong> create a version of your own<br />

color wheel us<strong>in</strong>g only RED, YELLOW,<br />

AND BLUE, <strong>to</strong> make the other colors.<br />

There is a representation of the color<br />

wheel <strong>in</strong> this article.<br />

The traditional next step before creat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

a pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g is <strong>to</strong> make a sketch of the subject<br />

matter of the pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g, however some<br />

artists prefer <strong>to</strong> just take a brush and<br />

beg<strong>in</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g. For this article we are us<strong>in</strong>g<br />

a sample of the traditional approach<br />

us<strong>in</strong>g an example by Douglas Simonson<br />

the famous pa<strong>in</strong>ter of male nudes. These<br />

three examples show the beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g l<strong>in</strong>e<br />

sketch then the use of color <strong>to</strong> block <strong>in</strong><br />

the models and a f<strong>in</strong>ished pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g of<br />

the two models. Whatever subject you<br />

decide <strong>to</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t for your first pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

experiment and enjoy the experience.<br />

<strong>in</strong> what I do at work and <strong>in</strong> drag. When you<br />

Fabeyonce “It can be hard”<br />

see a drag queen, you see beautiful body art,<br />

but you don’t know what was before all that.<br />

As most of you know, I work a full-time job<br />

That’s the beauty of becom<strong>in</strong>g your alter ego.<br />

and on <strong>to</strong>p of that, I still go out and perform.<br />

We get away from our work life and become<br />

Sometimes it can be hard when do<strong>in</strong>g both<br />

the other half that’s hidden away for a few<br />

your schedules, they never match. You’re<br />

hours. Let all your problems go and don’t<br />

always <strong>in</strong> a hurry, you must th<strong>in</strong>k ahead at<br />

worry or stress about anyth<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

work and th<strong>in</strong>k about stuff like what music<br />

Well at least for myself, that’s how I treat me.<br />

will you be perform<strong>in</strong>g when you do the next<br />

So next time you go <strong>to</strong> a drag show, make<br />

show. Now I work early on Thursdays, so if<br />

sure you tip your hard-work<strong>in</strong>g queens.<br />

I’m booked on a Thursday usually get off at<br />

Before the makeup, some of them do work<br />

2, so it gives me time <strong>to</strong> go home and rest for<br />

another job and they still turned up because<br />

about two hours then I wake up.<br />

of the love they have for the gig.<br />

I shower and start gett<strong>in</strong>g ready now on<br />

Now you know your girl loves <strong>to</strong> hear from<br />

Thursdays, the place <strong>to</strong> be is at Toucans Tiki<br />

y’all, so reach out <strong>to</strong> me on Facebook @<br />

Lounge, here <strong>in</strong> <strong>Palm</strong> spr<strong>in</strong>gs. They have the<br />

fabeyonce or Instagram fabeyonc_e and let’s<br />

sickest show called the Playhouse hosted by<br />

Kiki.<br />

Jazmyn Simone. <strong>This</strong> show is the one <strong>to</strong> be at.<br />

It will fulfill your every desire on what a drag<br />

Love your Lat<strong>in</strong> Queen<br />

show should be. After that we wash up and<br />

FABEYONCE....<br />

head home. By this time, it’s 1am, typically I<br />

usually work at 7 am, so a few hours <strong>to</strong> rest.<br />

On Saturday, I close at my job, so when I’m<br />

off by 11, I rush home eat and rest. I wake up<br />

at 6am <strong>to</strong> get my drag ready for brunch at Rio<br />

Azul, the best brunch <strong>in</strong> <strong>to</strong>wn, the longest<br />

runn<strong>in</strong>g, and was voted number 1. We have<br />

a double brunch, so I always have different<br />

numbers on hand <strong>to</strong> switch up the action.<br />

<strong>This</strong> show you won’t want <strong>to</strong> miss.<br />

We’re usually head<strong>in</strong>g out of <strong>Palm</strong> Spr<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

then head<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> Coachella by 4. Of course, I<br />

take a nap on the ride home because I’m tired<br />

but it all pays off. Work<strong>in</strong>g with so many<br />

queens is amaz<strong>in</strong>g, all personalities and so<br />

many different faces is what people come <strong>to</strong><br />

see. As soon as I get home, I wash up aga<strong>in</strong><br />

and get my shit ready for my job.<br />

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis<br />

Oh my, where <strong>to</strong> beg<strong>in</strong>.<br />

The Supremes are set <strong>to</strong> rule on the wedd<strong>in</strong>g<br />

cake issue <strong>in</strong> the next few days. If you recall,<br />

a baker <strong>in</strong> Colorado refused <strong>to</strong> bake a<br />

wedd<strong>in</strong>g cake for two men who were gett<strong>in</strong>g<br />

married. Lawsuits started and now it is at<br />

the Supreme Court. Will be <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g how<br />

Gorsuch votes. It is anticipated that there<br />

will be several LGBT issues <strong>in</strong> the next<br />

session. Let’s all hope and pray Just Kennedy<br />

hangs <strong>in</strong> there.<br />

Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA)<br />

met with a group of Orange County Real<strong>to</strong>rs<br />

and announced that it should be ok <strong>to</strong> refuse<br />

<strong>to</strong> sell houses <strong>to</strong> lesbian and gay people.<br />

He said they shouldn’t discrim<strong>in</strong>ate due<br />

<strong>to</strong> race, but sexual orientation was f<strong>in</strong>e <strong>to</strong><br />

do so. I couldn’t have been prouder as a<br />

Real<strong>to</strong>r myself, that IMMEDIATELY, the<br />

National Association of REALTORS (NAR),<br />

withdrew their endorsement and said they<br />

would no longer support of provide f<strong>in</strong>ancial<br />

assistance <strong>to</strong> the Congressman’s campaign.<br />

On another front, President Trump signed<br />

three executive orders restrict<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

activities of the unions that represent federal<br />

workers. <strong>This</strong> will effect over 2 million<br />

people.<br />

White House, just a reality TV star.<br />

The North Korea summit is slated for <strong>June</strong><br />

12. Lots of flurries but no real plan or idea<br />

of what we should expect. So far all we know<br />

is what President Trump wants, but he hasn’t<br />

said what we are will<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> give up <strong>to</strong> get<br />

that, plus we done know what North Korea<br />

wants.<br />

That’s it for now just a short message this<br />

<strong>week</strong>, but enough <strong>to</strong> cause us <strong>to</strong> stay vigilant,<br />

resist and fight back!<br />

Greg Pettis is a 22 year city councilman<br />

<strong>in</strong> Cathedral City. Greg was the first openly<br />

gay elected city council members In<br />

Riverside County. He has served on the<br />

boards of the National League of Cities<br />

and the League of <strong>California</strong> Cities and as<br />

President of the Southern CA Association<br />

of Governments.<br />

The President is so busy plann<strong>in</strong>g for<br />

his North Korea summit, read<strong>in</strong>g policy<br />

papers, gett<strong>in</strong>g brief<strong>in</strong>gs, study<strong>in</strong>g.....NOT!<br />

He is play<strong>in</strong>g golf, send<strong>in</strong>g tweets blam<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Democrats for everyth<strong>in</strong>g. It has become<br />

obvious that there is no one <strong>in</strong> charge at the<br />
