Lights, Camera, An extra 10 pounds!

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’m Not Unemployed … I’m a "Writer"

Yes, that’s soon what I will be saying as June 2nd is my last official day at Interactive Ontario. 8 months ago I would have been over the moon to be leaving, regardless of having any other plans, but now this departure is bitter sweet. The organization has improved, and I have realized where my talents . . . → Read More: I’m Not Unemployed … I’m a "Writer"

Porn Reborn – A Summary

Porn Reborn
Recently I had the pleasure of attending Porn Reborn – New Movements and Markets in Pornography with my dear friend Tara McKee, sex educator and workshop facilitator for Good For Her, put on by SDSSU. The SDSSU is the undergraduate course union for everyone who has ever taken a Sexual Diversity Studies course at the University of Toronto.

Porn is absolutely not something I’m an expert on. Sure, I have a website link bookmarked on my iPhone, but I actually only own 1 movie and I got that for free at the Everything To Do With Sex Show a few years ago. (And ick, it’s so terrible!)

Men Only Cheat When…

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.

Not the usual décor for our living room!

Sometimes People Need Pwning

Recently I was visiting Sexie Sadie’s blog, one of my faves as she writes about her open marriage with an honesty that I admire completely, and I came across this post about her 13th wedding anniversary and coming clean with some issues in her life.

Reading the comments to scroll down and eventually write one of my . . . → Read More: Sometimes People Need Pwning

Fake Prom, Real World

Last Friday Steph, @ccath, @bondean and I headed down to the Palais Royale on Lakeshore West for Fake Prom 2009. The “theme” was Film Noir, and while many people kinda’ butchered it according to the purists it was definitely enjoyable after a long week of work to get dolled up, look around a fancy room and . . . → Read More: Fake Prom, Real World

How could I forget!?

Today is our third year Openniversary. Here’s my post from last year: http://notyourmothersplayground.com/2008/08/26/openniversary

My friend @doingitwrong made this for us last year

Three years later and what a ride it’s been. We’ve gone through so many changes in such a short time; being open has really helped us become the people we are today.

So what have . . . → Read More: How could I forget!?

According to virgins …

Driving along today downtown I saw a Virgin Mobile billboard that simply said;

We’re into open relationships.

It was an ad for their ‘no contract’ agreement. I would have taken a phone pic of it but I had to pay attention to the road after all.

Whatever it was for, it certainly made me think. I’m starting to notice . . . → Read More: According to virgins …
