We live in interesting times. I’ve actually not blogged for the better part of a month (or more, actually) as I’ve been busy trying to write a novel. But with the chaos we find ourselves in these days, I’ve decided to write more. Writing is my mental health coping strategy, so the more I do, the better I’ll feel. Or so I hope, at least. (more…)

Becoming myself – thanks to you
This is going to be a short one because I don’t have a lot of time and I wanted to put some thoughts down for Wicked Wednesday. I am because we are is the theme for this week and, as you may have guessed, I have a few things to say about this. (more…)
Movie Review: Road of Bygones
I was really excited when Astrid Ovalles asked me to review her movie, Road of Bygones. I have only ever really written book and sex toy reviews, so this was new for me. I hope I did it justice. (more…)
My first pole dancing class
On Tuesday I had my first pole dancing class. I was really looking forward to it, but as the time drew near for me to go, I got cold feet. I had had a very busy day at work and had to walk about 20 minutes to go to the studio. I had forgotten my trainers, so had to walk there in high heels, which was a bad idea. My feet started hurting halfway there and I practically hobbled into the building. (more…)
Privacy: to be valued highly
Privacy is of the utmost importance to me. It’s not a secret that I write my blog under a pseudonym. I don’t show my face on my blog and my avatar is carefully cropped so that my son’s signature isn’t showing. I value my privacy, not only in my life as a sex blogger but also in my personal life. If you were to look me up on the internet using my legal name, you’d get lots of hits, none of which would be me. (more…)
Wicked Wednesday: Celebrating milestones
This week’s Wicked Wednesday is the 400th edition! I can’t believe that this has been going strong for more than seven-and-a-half years, that’s amazing! A huge thank-you to Rebel for keeping this going for so long. That can’t have been easy, especially since she tweets out little snippets of all the entries each week. I’m happy if I can read more than half the entries, so I can only imagine the time and effort it takes to run Wicked Wednesday. So: thank you, Rebel! (more…)
Pain as pleasure?
I never used to understand people who viewed pain as pleasure. I suffered from endometriosis for about thirty years and the last thing I wanted to feel during sex was pain. I had had enough of that during my years of chronic pain. It seemed strange to willfully inflict pain on oneself (or have a loved one do it) and derive pleasure from it. (more…)
Time management isn’t easy
The theme for Wicked Wednesday this week is time management. I love this topic, as I am good at managing my time. I’m a very busy person, but I generally manage to fit everything I need to do into a day and still have time for myself (most days). But when I sat down to write this blog post, I didn’t really know how to explain how I manage my time. I know not everyone is as good at it as I am, but why is that? (more…)
Sinful Sunday: Relax
It is not often that I take a picture of myself that I like, let alone a sexy picture. But as part of my 365 photo challenge, I am taking a sexy selfie a day and this was one I had taken this week. I really love how relaxed I look in this picture, so I decided to share it with you all.
It’s a balancing act
Life is a balancing act. Whether you are single or in a relationship, we all need to balance our own personal needs with the needs of others. Maybe your partner, your parents, your children, or even your work. No one is an island, and so, we all need to perform this delicate balancing act each and every day. (more…)
