But please, stop making that annoying licking motion at me [...]

Stricken with Curiosity. Times Three.

By · 5 Comments · In Op/Ed

Dear Lovelies,

When this round of tri-curiosity struck, I knew it was time to whip out my quad-ruled journal and roller-ball pen, and sit with a freshly brewed cup of hazelnut coffee. Gone are the days when bi-curiosity indicated the urge to ride a bicycle down to the town square and tri-curiosity an [...]

You might want to change your strategy. At least when it comes to dating.

Do you ever find yourself midway through a nice dinner, or a make out session on someone else’s couch, only to realize that you’ve set yourself up for failure by dating down? I know it’s instinctual for [...]

It only took a year for me to get a fraction of my things back. (Well, since I wanted them, anyway.) That’s not bad. It’s only a year. And they’re only things, after all.

Still, it was hard to hold my handpainted circular wooden box with the gold flower petals [...]

There are many different types of love.

That doesn’t mean that one type of love detracts from another, or that one is more important; rather, they all enhance each other, and make the others shine brighter.

Seduction & the Younger Generation

By · 2 Comments · In Op/Ed

Foreword: Perhaps I don’t yet delve much into the Art of Seduction. But I feel that what I’m discussing here is a prerequisite to talking about seduction, especially if people are going to be all gung-ho about how my generation has fucked-up that so-called art. If you’d like (yes, you!) then we can talk [...]

BDSM & Cavemen

By · 10 Comments · In Op/Ed

Is BDSM just a highly-concentrated reflection of the type of men we breed in this society, of what our society says a man “should” be..
