Sample chapter: Coming Out Poly

As a special treat, I’ve decided to share with you a condensed version of a chapter out of my book, Not Your Mothers’ Playground, that I’m hoping on finishing in the next few months. I’ve been meaning to write a post about coming out poly for a while now, and when I realized I’d already [...]

An Essay on Non-Monogamy

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 [...]

Thank you Olympics

Thank you Olympics for just over two weeks of guaranteed television watching. Thank you for instilling a sense of Canadian pride in this English born, not usually very patriotic,  non sports fan (besides my TFC boys). I admit it. I watched you all the time. It started with an innocent opening ceremony, shared with many [...]

Threesome tonight? No thanks. Wait, what??

Tonight I refused a threesome.

Me. Samantha. *Slut of the North with a love for both the boy and the girl parts said no to fucking Steph and Ruby.

Fantasies: Confessions of a logic queen

I have an incredibly vivid imagination and yet I cannot even find a mental closet to store my husband in for a little while!

Realization: My own practical demons

Since writing the post ‘Realizations: I Just Wanna’ Have Fun’ I’ve realized something. Where Steph has often cited cost and practicality for reasons that we don’t try new things, events, places, etc. … I’ve always – in my own mind – cited the need for sleep as a reason not to fuck.
And as much as [...]

Realizations – I just wanna’ have fun

I have a personal rule that I try to follow as much as possible. I don’t like to blog when I’m angry or emotional. I know I’ve done it in the past, but I highly prefer not because then I hit you folks with emotional diarrhea and I embarrass myself on the off chance that [...]

Every Cowboy Sings a Sad Sad Song (Or lessons learned from group sex, while out of the room. And town)

I know that post about Kitty was all sunshine and roses but this one’s going to be a reminder that every rose has its thorn. Even though Steph and I have been doing this open marriage shtick for over 3 years now, we still have things to learn, like the following story will share.
While I [...]

Kitty Knievel and I

If you haven’t already gathered from my many other posts, I find there are definitely a lot of benefits to being in an open relationship. One of them is sometimes being lucky enough to sleep with friends and then actually continue being friends with little to minimal weirdness between you. I wrote a post about [...]

Five years and counting

It’s my five year wedding anniversary today. Normally Steph and I don’t really bother with our wedding anniversary but this year is different. We’ve realized that there’s a lot of really great people in our lives – some who have been in our bed, and some who haven’t – that we didn’t know at the [...]
