The Hook-up: Kink & Poly

Introducing Kink & Poly Sometimes we forget that writers aren’t always writing for us. Some, like Jade of Kink & Poly, are writing to explore their own worlds, their own thoughts and their own truths. We are lucky that Jade let’s us share that exploration.

The Hook-up: Rebel’s Notes

Introducing Rebel’s Notes Marie Rebelle is our first Hook-up from outside North America. Her twitter kept popping up in my feed, a frequent recommendation from others.

She’s a strong-willed woman, a wife, a mother and a daughter.  You’ll see, she’s captivating. How did you get into blogging?My first blog was a vanilla one and I blogged mainly about family stuff, but that did not give me the satisfaction I was looking for. I barely …

When Lady Laid Bare, aka Jillian Boyd, asked if she could be featured in The Hook-up, I said yes. I’m glad I didn’t say no. How did you get into blogging?I was quite a sexual late-bloomer, and at the time I was going through changes I didn’t understand. I’d started watching porn, I’d started dipping toes into reading erotica… and I couldn’t help feeling really alone. I didn’t really have anyone to talk about these things with. One day, I found …
