it had been nearly six months. You weren’t to know (and it wasn’t your fault) but I’d been in constant pain for weeks, and it was getting me down. On it, I blamed my limp libido and our absence of sex. In reality, it’s a culmination of your irritating habits and my irritability. Why do…

My Love Affair with Pubic Hair

Him and Her
The curve of her stomach The softness of her thighs The intention of her touch The memory of her kiss And the thought of her clit. The bike oil on his calves The hirsuteness of his chest The roughness of his handing The reality of his touch And the thought of her clit. Photo by…
And Then They Went Upstairs…
She thought there’d be an awkward air; the tension of a dirty secret. She thought there’d be naughty glances and nothing more. How wrong she was. The girl came bounding in: full of life – a bottle of prosecco in hand. Within five minutes it was clear there were memories filled with lust in both…
