These Are a Few of My Favorite Things: 2017
For years now I’ve kept up a tradition of talking about the Best (and Worst) things I’ve reviewed over the prior year. But this year I looked at my reviews (lacking though they are)...

This is a Call
CN: mental health, grief, weight/loss and physical health issues “This is a call to all my past resignations, it’s been far too long.” Every time I draft a post like this I wonder “Should...
8 Fuckin Years
Last week, the 15th, was technically my blog anniversary but I felt that bitching about Lelo and Charlie Sheen took some priority. I started out this calendar year doing things different. I tried to...
All of My Friends Live in a Box
As someone born before 1985, I am apparently part of the last generation to know life Before and After the Internet. I remember dial-up and AOL, ISCABBS and the time when we used...
Real Neat Blog (plus a little life update)
Earlier this month I was nominated by Will and Vixenne as having a “Real Neat Blog”, which was super sweet. I am shamefully behind on blogging much of ANYTHING these days. So by the...
Vibrators, Sex, and Depression
I need to preface this post. You won’t learn anything from this. I have no answers, no treatment plan, no quest. I have uncertainties and questions. It isn’t an eloquent post. If you need...
Fluid Sexuality -or- I’m not Kinky Anymore
A lot has happened in my 6 years here, and a lot has happened with me, sexually, over the last ten years. 6 years ago when I started this blog, I considered myself to...
Oy With The Poodles Already!
I wouldn’t quite say that I have Obsessive-Compulsive Planning Disorder but it’s close. I got it from my mother, who also passed on her compulsive over-packing syndrome. Toss in a case of Chronic List...
Contest Tweets Are Like Car Alarms
You’d be hard pressed to find an online giveaway these days that doesn’t have the “Tweet about this contest” as an entry method. Same for “liking” a Facebook page. While the Facebook page “likes”...
Manners, Community and Blogging
Today, something quite unusual happened. I received a friend request on Facebook ~which was preceded by an introduction message~. I imagine some of you are cocking your head like “what’s that?”, right? I have...
Creepy Doms and the Unhealthy Relationship ’50 Shades’ Fosters
The number of articles written about the insipid and unfortunate trilogy, 50 Shades, is staggering. But at least most of them are better written than the actual books. Just look at the 1/2 star...
Not in Kansas anymore…
Oh, life. What a fuckin pain in the ass it can be. And confusing. It shows that I’m not keeping good tabs on my site when it takes a potential advertiser to point out...
Soundtrack of the day (or week, really)
I escaped the Big Storm mostly unscathed…many of my Bubble Crew seems to as well so far. My body is still recovering from the tremendous flare-up that rolled in before the storm did. We...
It’s not easy being a sex blogger
In recent months I’ve been able to tell a few outside-the-bubble people that I am a sex blogger. It’s always a weird thing, filled with uncertainty and trepidation. A few weekends ago it was...
Wake The Neighbors….
When I recently visited my longtime friend, the topic turned of course to sex at one or two points. Clinical, theoretical, opinionated talks. One topic, after numerous drinks by the couple, turned to how...
