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. I was instantly hooked by her autobiographical and explicit words and images. She paints, she draws, she writes, she discusses her D/s relationship with her Husband. 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 …

Introducing Lady Laid Bare Sometimes I have a hard time saying no to people. Sometimes that backfires on me. 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 …

I am humbled that she opened up even more about her unrestrained ambition to improve sexuality for all, her boundless spirit and her desire to promote community.  How did you get into sex blogging?

Introducing Geeky Nymph Twitter hits the sweet spot again. I became acquainted with Geeky Nymph through mutual favouriting and retweeting. And then I started reading her blog…and haven’t stopped.

Introducing The Redhead Bedhead I’m not even going to try…the first thing that appealed to me when I saw the Twitter handle Redhead Bedhead was the Redhead part. However, as is usually the case, I quickly learned there is so much more than just a splash of red… What started you on “your mission?”I spent a long time relating to sex as something that belonged to other people—sexier people?—and accepting that what I was experiencing was as good as it gets.
