NubianNewYorkers - October 2025 Chocolate Man-Candy - Trick or Treat?

 OCTOBER

October 31st brings Halloween, a night where everyone can unleash their alter ego. Sexy costumes, playful role-playing, and mysterious personas let people tap into their seductive side. Whether you're going as a sultry vampire, seductive witch, or a classic cat, Halloween is the ultimate night for fantasy.

 
The crisp air, falling leaves, and cozy vibes of October set the perfect stage for intimate moments. Think candlelit dinners, warm blankets, and hot cider – it’s the season for romance to bloom and for getting closer with that special someone.
 




 
The full moon in October (called the Hunter's Moon) is said to be a time of heightened energy, deep emotions, and even sensuality. Full moons are often linked with mystery, desire, and the shedding of old energies, making it a great time for new romantic connections or reigniting passion in your current relationship.







 

Love it or hate it, pumpkin spice is a key scent of October and has a long history of being linked to comfort and warmth. Scent is a huge part of attraction, and the cozy, rich aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg can be undeniably seductive, triggering those "feel-good" vibes.

 




 
October's harvest season brings an abundance of aphrodisiac-rich foods like apples, figs, pomegranates, and dark chocolate. These foods are often linked to boosting libido, making the month perfect for romantic picnics or decadent dinners designed to turn up the heat.

August 2025 Man-Candy - Handsomeness & History - NubianNewYorkers


 

August 5–21, 2016: 

The Summer Olympics in Rio had a record number of openly LGBTQ athletes—at least 41—competing, up from just 23 four years earlier. The world got a little gayer during the games.


 August 8, 1978: 

The International Lesbian and Gay Association was founded, which now has consultative status at the United Nations. From small beginnings, big queer voices grew!

 
 August 29, 1867: 
Karl Heinrich Ulrichs became the first person to speak publicly for gay and lesbian rights, paving the way for thousands of bold voices.
 

In August 1966, 
the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot happened in San Francisco—a lesser-known, pre-Stonewall LGBTQ uprising led by trans women and drag queens. The revolution didn’t just start in New York, and it definitely included fierce Black and Brown queens.
 

 
 On August 3, 1974, 
the “Lesbian Connection” magazine began publication—one of the earliest, long-running lesbian publications in the U.S., packed with wit and important community news.

 





The Watts Uprising in Los Angeles began on August 11, 1965. It was a pivotal moment in the fight against police brutality and systemic racism in America.

 

 
 August was originally called Sextilis in Latin, as it was the sixth month of the original ten-month Roman calendar before January and February were added.
 


 In 8 BCE, the Roman Senate renamed Sextilis to August in honor of Emperor Augustus Caesar, after his notable triumphs during that month.
