I’m finally shaking his hold on me — I co-parent my son with my rapist. But that’s not the most surprising part of my story. Six months into my first marriage, my husband came home drunk and out of patience. I was 19 years old, and I’d just experienced a miscarriage. I didn’t want to get pregnant again…

Contra is a gamechanger in the freelance writing space — I took a leap and quit my office job in February. Since then, I’ve been hustling to build my freelance writing career. And I mean hustling. The truth is — and I think this is something every aspiring freelancer can admit — I don’t want to hustle all day, every…

A safe hub for us to converse and connect — It’s no secret — I’ve gone multi-platform with my sex and relationship writing. While I love this blogging space as a way to craft honest, frank nonfiction about my own experiences for a wide and wonderfully supportive community of readers and fellow writers, I’ve also started cross-posting things to my…

That was fine with me, as I have little desire to interact with the man who verbally and sexually abused me during our marriage. She and I worked out drop-offs, appointments, and activities for my…

The psychology of somnophilia — I woke up this morning to my boyfriend sliding my panties down my hips. He abandoned the hurried task halfway, leaving them wrapped around my lower thighs. I loved that he couldn’t wait to get inside me. And he didn’t. He entered me in one swift, smooth motion, his hard…

Why women should embrace more unconventional ways to climax — Back when my boyfriend and I were just getting to know each other sexually, it became apparent that he was insanely in tune with my body and mind. No matter how long you’ve been with someone, paying attention to your partner is one of the most important things you can…

Re-learning how to find fulfillment while sober — I’m nearly finished with a two-week break from booze and cannabis. I haven’t gone two weeks without alcohol since I had my tonsils removed over a year ago. Before that, I can’t remember the last time I went a single week without a drink. I set a two-week sobriety goal…
