Depression, 45, 40: Time For Some Honesty
Depression and #45 I never used to be very political; when I finally registered to vote in my home state, I registered as Independent because I had no real care either direction. I think...
The Sex Blogger’s Curse: Low Libido
Buy a house. Get sick. Have untreated depression. Have a partner who is on mood stabilizers and is getting a tune-up on such. Have undiagnosed injuries. Compound with typical depression/anxiety issues of self-care and personal hygiene and you’ve got low libido + no sex. Unfortunately for me having orgasms and masturbating is a bit necessary! So this is a little story about what happens when a sex blogger’s libido takes a dive. And a post in solidarity for everyone else going through something similar.
1 Month Countdown
Everybody told me, “Buying a house is really stressful” but like the other awful club I’m part of, there’s the First-Time-Buying-a-House Club and you can’t be in it til you’re in it and other...
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...
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...

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...
Street Harassment: It’s everywhere, all the time
Inspired by Stoya’s story over at Jezebel, I’m speaking up along with all the other women. This paragraph, after talking about how men treat her on the street, “They say I have a sweet...
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...
Sex Toy Reviewer Meets the Real World
A few weeks ago I spent some time with a childhood friend that I hadn’t seen in years. She was the first person from the “real world” that I’ve known for years that I...
A Very Merry Un-Birthday….to Me
Today was my birthday. Yet it was also an un-birthday. What I mean is that it really wasn’t celebrated in any traditional sense. And you know what? It was pretty damn good. I lounged...
I’ve found a new secret to my G-spot
Or rather….my husband has. For the first decade of our sex life his penis alone managed to hit my g-spot over and over during sex to varying degrees of bliss. In more recent years...
Decompressing and Deconstructing: MomentumCon 2012 Aftermath
I mean “aftermath” in the best possible way, but yet my brain is a freaking mess. “Overstimulated” is the best way to describe my current state. I go from leading a fairly boring life...
MomentumCon – The Impending Return of My Bubble of Amazing People
In less than a week I’ll be at Momentum, back in my beloved bubble of My People. Of course, in exactly a week’s time from right now, the moment I’m writing this, the bubble...
