I am very much a creature of habit, routine and ritual. In fact, if I were a fantasy being, I’d likely be a Hobbit, comfortably snuggled up in my Hobbit hole with books and pets and food and wine. Because for me, “adventuring” is just not really a major life draw. Sure, I crave…
We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect. Anaïs Nïn I already knew that my body could feel things. I’d found myself aroused by words, furiously and guardedly reading late at night beneath the covers. I’d seen things that made parts of me twitch and pulse in response. But I didn’t…
This week’s Erotic Journal Challenge Prompt is “Hormones,” but as I find, for me, that this is also very tied to next week’s topic “Mental Health,” I’m going to go ahead and connect the two. I’ve already posted on both of these topics quite a few times, but I want to focus in on their…
This week’s Food for Thought Friday prompt is: This week’s Prompt ~ Room 101 When we realised it was week 101 we knew this would be our only opportunity to use Room 101 as the source for our questions. Room 101 first appeared in the book 1984 by George Orwell. It’s an extremely insightful novel. The room…
This week, Food For Thought Friday asks us: What are your motivations for taking sexy photos? In some ways, I guess I’m a bit of an exhibitionist (online, that is). I like to be seen as sexy and I appreciate the attention that comes with it, when it’s in a controlled atmosphere (like my website).…
The world is spinning with potential aphrodisiacs – tastes, smells, sounds, sights, and physical sensations all compounding to bring us to our knees in a desirous puddle. For all of us, there are different combinations that tend to do the trick. For me, I look for lush sensualism. It might mean a beautifully erotic film.…
It is hard to explain why I would still feel fear in a safe and solid relationship. My sexual insecurities, irrational fears, and difficulty being vulnerable have caused more trouble than I can possibly ever explain. But, I’ll give it a go. The beginning… When I first met Mr. D, we had a rather (what…
How do you like to be touched? In general, I don’t like to be touched. In public, I have a huge bubble, with strangers…and even with friends. I am not a “hugger,” and I don’t touch others very often, either. But with my lover, I like to be touched in all sorts of ways. I…
What is the difference between loving someone and being in love with someone? How do these differences color and effect the way you interact with that person? Where sex is involved, does the emotional layer affect its quality? Where do lust and desire fit into this? This week I’ve been thinking a lot about the…
A new year always, for me, initiates a new beginning, and, as many others have already done, it prompts me to reflect, re-evaluate, and plan for the upcoming year. As in past years, I’m starting out with the way I want to feel: connected, creative, fun, soft (receptive, accepting, breathing through the hard parts),…
The other night, I sat on the couch watching TV next to my husband. A person (who shall not be named) invited me to chat on Twitter. I succumbed. I wasn’t terribly invested, but he drew me in because we had earlier connected on the concept that marriage can be difficult, especially when one partner’s…
