Muscle Pain + Magic Wand = Success!
Folks, I just had a magical afternoon. It started out with a bad mood. I had way too much to do, including running some errands that set my day back by hours. And those errands didn’t go well, which meant that, although I’d already spent two hours on them, I’m going to have to go back to redo most…

The Stormy Daniels Bandwagon is One I’m Fine with Jumping On
I am 110% here to watch Donald Trump get taken down a peg (or hopefully several–hell, I hope he gets kicked out of office for this mess) by a woman who is also a sex worker who is ALSO a republican. The poetry of the situation is perfect beyond reckoning. And I’ve got plenty of…

Au Revoir, 2017! It’s Been Intense.
It’s been a hell of a year. For everyone. The kind of year that you look back at and feel truly, deeply thankful for what you still have.

Film Review: The Training of Poe (Part 1)
There is something much deeper happening here, between Mistress and slave. Something that’s difficult to put into words. Something that I encourage you to watch the film to understand.

Spermin’ Berman and the Ejaculating Dildo, at MEL Magazine
I talked to Berman about the strange and rewarding trip, and to one of her biggest fans, Buck Angel, about her toy, the POP dildo, for MEL Magazine, and I came away smiling. This product is making a difference for a lot of people, and that makes me happy. Who knew a squirting dildo could…

Seeking Trans Guys to Interview for an Article
Hello, readers! I’m working on an article about ejaculating dildos, and I need your help! I’d love to talk to trans men who have used sex toys that ejaculate about their experiences. I’m particularly interested in hearing from folks who have sought these out to help with dysmorphia. As you might imagine, however, this isn’t…
