Father Figure
This is the first year of my adult life when I don’t find myself uncomfortable, standing in front of the Father’s Day cards, trying to find one that feels authentic. Dad, you taught me everything I needed to know… Nope. Dad opted out of teaching me about money, for example, because he said I didn’t…

Safe
CW: sexual violence There’s a clip going around on social media of two male characters talking about sex. It’s from the hit series Off Campus, and features one varsity hockey player asking another how to make sure a woman comes during a sexual encounter. “There’s a tool at your disposal,” the more experienced character says.…

Happy 2 years to PL
Two years ago today, I posted a link to an audio and a story. It is the story of meeting Anonyfun in his hotel room after he slips you the key in the hotel bar. It goes just as you’d think it would – sweet, spicy and satisfying. The stories and audios I’ve made over…

The Walmart Cure
Caution: This is a Vulnerable Post If you’ve read enough of my blog you’ll figure out that I am single after a long relationship. Twenty-eight years long, as a matter of fact. We lived together for most of my adult life. Living on my own has been a wonderful experience in some ways. I am…

Bloom
Back in January, a friend of mine reminded our social media community of the concept of a word for the year, and I decided to choose “bloom.” To bloom is to come to life after sleeping, hibernating, resting.

Fuck Valentine’s Day
Full disclosure: this is the second time in my life I’ve written a piece with this title. The first was when I was 20 and writing for the student newspaper at my university. I was single and bitter about it, but having been a romantic since my early days, I wanted to mark the occasion.…

New Year, Old Me
The temptation to remake myself every new year is strong. I love the idea of fresh starts. New notebooks, a fresh stack of paper, a new pen, a clean slate. Leave who you are in the old year and begin again. Be whoever you wish you could be. Fix whatever is wrong with you. But…
