New feature on Sex in Words—Coming Soon: Sex & Erotica Bloggers!

I’m going back to my roots, folks.Back when I worked on the site-that-will-not-be-named, I had a lot of success with interviewing people. From my years on Sex City and that work, I think I, humbly, think I am pretty decent at it. So, I’m going to start featuring the people I love to read these days: sex & erotica bloggers. After moderating the panel on sex bloggers at Playground in November, and becoming friends with those on the panel, I really started to expand the roster of who I read. And I have found some fantastic bloggers out there who …

Writing about sex when stressed?

My fellow sex writers: Are you able to write about sex when you’re stressed about other things in your life?I think I’d be more able to do it if I were under a paying deadline, but right now I’ve got all of these ideas…but other matters are taking my mind away from them.In the past I’ve been able to write on other topics or subjects even when I’ve been busy or preoccupied.Not right now though.I’m hoping it’ll pass soon.

December 6: National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

Today we remember the victims of the December 6, 1989 Montreal Massacre: Michele Richard 21Helene Colgan 23Nathalie Croteau 23Maryse Leclair 23 Sonia Pelletier 28 Annie Turcotte 21Maryse Laganiere 25Barbara Daigneault 22 Anne-Marie Lemay 22 Anne-Marie Edward 21Maud Haviernick 29Annie St. Arneault 23Genevieve Bergeron 21Barbara Marie Klueznick 31 More than twenty years later, gender-based violence is still an issue. Marc Lepine’s brutal, misogynistic assault on the École Polytechnique may have opened the discussion of men’s violence against women, but so much still needs to be talked about, considered and most importantly, acted upon.  I have a teenage daughter and a preteen …

Spicing up the Commute

I am currently in my second stint as a commuter. These days I split my time between driving from Pickering into Toronto with my partner and taking the GO Train (southern Ontario’s commuter rail network). My former commute, at the beginning of my career, was a mix of driving, buses, and trains. At worst it was 3 hours each way, which I needed to do to get my foot in the door of the publishing industry.I’ve never really minded the travel. The ride in these days is fun, chatting, listening to the radio and drinking tea. On the train I …

Secret fetish? I’m raising my hand.

Today’s #dailysexdiscussion, and some subsequent chat with Andee Charm got me thinking about my own relationship with fetish, specifically my own.
