Is Dating Ruining Your Love Life?
So, I just finished reading Samhita Mukhopadhyay’s book, Outdated: Why Dating is Ruining Your Love Life. The title was the book’s first point of intervention: is dating ruining my love life? The thought honestly had never even crossed my mind. Could people actually opt out of this weird, murky, sometimes craptacular ritual and live to
Please Don’t Take My Helpfulness for Granted (Another Little Something on Service).
I’ve written on the subject of service on several occasions in the past, as this is a large part of the life I live, and is therefore something very near and dear to my heart. A couple times they were done as assignments, a couple times they were done just as my own personal exercise,

Such is my sexual passion. I call it, “My Tiger.” My Tiger is something I, just now entering the second half of my adult
Relationship Fluidity: Making Relationships Work When You and Your Partner(s) Have Different Relationship Styles
I was raised in a non-monogamous household. Not in the communal, slightly hippy, open and honest sense, but more in the chronic-cheating, lies, and betrayal sense. Not the best example of non-monogamy, but non-monogamy nonetheless. As a kid, I was made aware of what was going on in my parent’s relationship, even if I didn’t
Going Down? …I Think I’ll Take the Stairs
A little while ago, I went to a sexual empowerment workshop. I don’t know exactly what I was expecting, but I left feeling quite shaken and exposed, like a nerve had been touched and I wasn’t sure why. At the end of the workshop, each of the approximately 40 participants had to announce to the
