A Hopeless Quest for Love?

Something strange happened recently: a random number messaged me on WhatsApp. Usually, when I exchange numbers with someone I’ve been speaking with (on- or offline) I save their number in my phone or they send a message not long after so I can save theirs. There were no hangers-on in the dating apps I used…

A Speed-Dating Night with Skirt Club

Over lockdown, I joined Skirt Club; a private members’ club for bisexual and bicurious women.

Bruises

Trigger warning: rough sex (consensual but rough) It wasn’t long before the blood rose to the surface. A red slash on my hipfrom the crack of the whipwas the first to appear. Next came the speckled purple and blueon my boob, slapped by you. How would my cheek react? Hands around my throatmaking me chokeas…
