Last week, I turned 31 and earlier this year, I published 30 lessons for 30. A year later, here’s more of what I learnt.
Category: Starting Something New
Seduced by Rope
As we enter Covent Garden’s Coco de Mer after closing time, it’s clear this is going to be a very sexy evening. Before the class begins, we’re offered a glass of prosecco and the chance to browse the lace, silk, leather and silicone in the room. Towards the rear wall, we spot a group of…
Peeling off Each Other’s Layers
It’s tricky, isn’t it? We’re told to be authentic, to be unapologetically ourselves and to demand others accept us or steer clear. At the same time, we hope for allure from our lovers (even a little mystery, perhaps?) and, in the realm of online dating, someone who bares all holds little appeal. In the absence…
A Night at Torture Garden
We hear the techno reverberating off the walls as we swagger inside. Ascending the stairs in our red lips and statement coats concealing latex lingerie, our excitement permeates the surroundings as much as the music. Do we have cash for the cloakroom? Of course not – where would we keep it? We fling our coats…
Erotic Escapades
I have a big, exciting announcement: I have a new freelance job as an erotic scriptwriter for Emjoy. Emjoy produces audio erotica, mainly catered for women’s aural pleasure. And there’s something for everyone: one chilli indicates a sensual story, two chillies allude to a sexier narrative and three chillies mean you’re in for a saucy…
Love and Lust in Lockdown: A turn of events.
Lockdown has got many of us feeling hot under the collar and frisky between the sheets. To find out how lockdown has impacted our love and lusting, I’m getting intimate with interviews. Anika, 28. What is your relationship status? Getting divorced. Describe your love-life in one word. Non-existent. Who have you…
Love and Lust in Lockdown: Affairs of the heart.
Lockdown has got many of us feeling hot under the collar and frisky between the sheets. To find out how lockdown has impacted our love and lusting, I’m getting intimate with interviews. KevinAmari, 42. What is your relationship status? Complicated but incredibly good fun. I’m having affairs with two married women, plus there’s a…
Kink in Quarantine
It wasn’t until the last few years of my twenties that I realised that rough sex is more common than I originally thought. Yes, hair-pulling is a common sexual preference and Pornhub is awash with all manner of synonyms for “BDSM”, but when you know where to look, you’ll find a crowd you had previously…
A Hopeful Letter – My Response to My Ex
Dear A, What a beautiful, candid letter. A mix of emotions rose up: eyes watering and a smile pinching at my cheeks; thank you for your honesty. I didn’t expect us to get to where we are now so soon. It’s been a rough few months, hasn’t it? Breaking up (unknowingly) just before a global…
Our Own Little Narratives – Guest Blog
*Guest blog* A friend and I have been talking about collaborating on a few posts and sharing a man’s perspective on dating in our twenties (something this blog often lacks). I love the way he candidly writes about his experiences and I hope you enjoy reading about them as much as I did. Picture the…
