Single Ladies

This is the list of entrance prices/membership fees for a ‘hedonists” ‘sex club’ in Toronto, Canada. It is a very interesting example of the different values of men and women in the ‘sex’ marketplace. Even in the ‘recreational’ sex marketplace. Why do you think it costs only $5 basic entry for a single woman and [...]

Letters From An Alien #3458768…oh I don’t know

‘I tried to explain to Mr X that it would only be really fun for me if they really genuinely hated it. And he said what about consent? And I said er… That’s why I shouldn’t be allowed out to explore my sadistic side. I am quite a literal person.’ That in fact sums up [...]

Fist

I had a friend who described once in quite a bit of detail, how she fisted her lover as a ‘submissive act’. I couldn’t get my head round it. He was a surgeon I think. (Oh god or did I make that up? I don’t think so. He had a good job. He was Australian [...]

Before we go to sleep, he whispers in my ear: ‘If you need to piss in the night you must ask my permission. OK?’ ‘Ok’ I say. I don’t really think about what this means. I am battered, my mind is still bent out of shape. Earlier he told me to piss and he collected [...]

Strap-On The Sauvignon

It’s a mid-week evening in January, in a northern middle-class home. The Sainsbury’s Sauvignon is magically appearing from the fridge, finding our open mouths so effortlessly. We stand around admiring the newly-converted designer (yet rustic) kitchen. Tonight,conversation is easy, relaxed. We know each other well enough not to have to make too much of an [...]

Stiletto Rage

Arguing about gender roles is something I love to do. I have realised that I particularly enjoy doing it with dominant men, even when I am within striking distance. Foolish maybe, but I cannot help myself. A typical argument might go along these lines: Him:’I would like to see you in stilettos and a tight [...]

The Bottom Line

‘There are just rather more straight men than gay men – and I find they make much better bottoms….’ I read this sentence on the ‘bottom half of the internet’, that murky underworld that is filled, not quite in equal measure, with a mixture of incomprehensible gibberish, mundanity and real insight into the human condition.
