 We hear the word all the time and we see the images everywhere we look but mainstream society still keeps pretty mum about exploring individual sexuality. There’s lots of places to go and groups to join once you’ve discovered your kinks or fetishes but it’s often all or nothing when it comes to talking about personal desire.
Sex is presented by the media as all about Sir Cocks A Lot entering Pussyville and as a result many teenagers see oral sex as a blurry second base. Individual desires are put aside for talk of erogenous zones and physical sex tips, ignoring any discussion of mental connection in the bedroom. If it ain’t good ol’ American fucking then it doesn’t count as sex and therefore isn’t important, right? Read more »

This afternoon U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker ruled in the case brought before him by lawyers Ted Olson and David Boies, which argued that the Proposition 8 ballot initiative denying marriage rights to same-sex couples in California was unconstitutional.

When sitting up here in Toronto, Canada, looking at my wedding cake figurines that I bought for my first paid wedding planning gig WAY back in 2005, that just so happened to be for two lovely men from Bermuda … it’s hard to wrap my brain around the idea that these rights haven’t already been given to same-sex couples at least in somewhere like California.

Steph just looked at me and asked “Do you think we should move the couch over? It’s covering up the vent.”
I replied: “Nah, I think it’s ok?”
He replied, in a snarky, condescending voice: “Well that’s the only vent on this floor so keeping it covered doesn’t make any sense. Right?”
To which I then replied … suddenly . . . → Read More: Do YOU want to move the couch?

It’s true. Relationships ARE hard … um, yo. It doesn’t matter if you’re dating or married or long-distance, dealing with another person (or people) while trying to live one life together with different personalities can be really, really challenging. Whether you love/fuck other people or remain monogamous, the grass can often appear so much greener on any other side compared to the one you’re on.
But is it really?

It has been a busy week and a half for Steph and I. On Sunday, May 30th we did an extra bit of filming for the documentary on modern marriage that we’re going to be in, I believe airing on CBC’s Doc Zone (next year sometime?), and last night we were interviewed for local sex show, Sex Matters.

I always fool myself into thinking that after the last epic conversation that Steph and I have, there won’t be anymore.
And every time I do that, I’m wrong.
Last weeks’ chat was a big one, and the focus was on sharing. Not of lovers, or bathroom time, but of our thoughts; what we’re thinking at any given moment. Over the years of being open I’ve found myself drawn to people who comment on the things they observe in life. Sometimes, like Don, they have amazing powers of observation and memory retention – (though I’m sure not always in his home life!!) and make me feel on top of the world by saying something they’ve noticed, or intuitively knowing the next move.

It’s been a while since I turned the mirror on myself for a little self-examination and I think I’m overdue so here goes.
Most of you already know. I’ve been in an open marriage for 3.5 years and it probably saved my relationship, or at the very least saved from a life of denying that I was unhappy when it truth I must have been when I think of how ridiculously happy I am now. (I mean it only makes sense!) Read more »

Recently I was asked to write a guest blog post for Met Another Frog, about the myths behind men cheating.
Met Another Frog is geared to urban women and offers stories, social commentary and ‘edutainment’ about:
- dating and relationships
- love
- sex
- achieving personal satisfaction on one’s own terms
My challenge? Explain the myths behind men cheating.
Read on, and let me know what you think.

It’s not always easy.
Though it’s not always hard.
It can give you everything you’ve ever wanted.
Sometimes a whole lot less. Sometimes a whole lot more.
It can be about freedom and doing as you like, while on other days, hard compromise and sacrifice.
You’ll work your ass off to communicate your wants. Your needs. Your desires.
And along the way . . . → Read More: An Essay on Non-Monogamy

Yesterday, months earlier than we were expecting, Steph and I were interviewed for the documentary we were asked to be in on modern marriage, that will air on CBC’s Doc Zone hopefully sometime early next year.
 Not the usual décor for our living room! Read more »
