I’ve had guest bloggers writing before on swinging which can be a foundation of the ‘free love’ idea. But I guess I haven’t really written much about it. It’s usually a book or documentary or a good conversation that gets me inspired to write about a topic. In this case it was Dawn Porter’s doco...
Been meaning to write for a while about my experience of reading Holly Aitchison’s lovely lo-fi zine: ‘Slorch-o-Rama’ - the first issue shares real women’s experiences of losing their virginity. Firstly it’s so cute – old school with the black and white photocopier put to its best use. For something filled with sexual content, the way it...
Loved reading this post on Mums on the Go recently, it was about anniversary traditions. The writer, Linda, has a journal which she writes in on her wedding anniversary every year. It’s called ‘The Book of Love’ and it’s an opportunity to reflect on the previous year of her relationship and might be a wonderful...
Loving your lady parts Here’s an interesting video I was recommended to watch – a TEDx talk “Loving your lady parts as a path to success, power and global change” by a lady, Alisa Vitti, who started a holistic health centre for women having menstruation / hormonal etc problems. She’s one of these less-drugs/better-nutrition types...
What do women want sexually? Read a very interesting article I found through a friend of mine, talking about the history of men’s and women’s attitudes to sex. These days the prevailing thought or stereotype is that men want it much more than the ladies. You might assume that this is based on years of...
There’s this adage that men often confuse sex and intimacy in relationships and that the two are not the same thing. You read this sort of complaint article in magazines all the time. I glanced at a headline recently myself…and voila! Blog topic! I agree that intimacy can be a whole lot of other things...
Does sex get better as life goes on… I’ve been reading this rather lovely blog call The Re-Wilding a link that I got through positive-ageing website Womanglow which a friend runs. The Re-Wilding blog talked about the ageing process in relation to sexuality. Sex as seniors… wowsers… my first reaction to that is that it’s all too...
Chances are if you’re reading this blog you already believe that having a fulfilling sex life is part of a healthy relationship and living life fully. I believe that it is. It’s about fully understanding the one body you’re given – seeing it as an extension of the mind we cultivate from such early days....
I’ve written before about two or three very quick and easy things women can do to turn sex into a muscle-building exercise workout that also enhances yours (and his) pleasure. But I bring it up again today because of a funny chat I had with my husband the other day where I mentioned how sex...
It’s the Sydney Mardis Gras 2013 this weekend, a time when I sit by my apartment window for some of the most interesting people watching of the year. Costumes, make up, excitement, the opportunity to let loose and enjoy a bit of the limelight, or be happily overshadowed by more dazzling rhinestones than yours. It’s...
So I’ll be honest. Writing a blog about sex puts me in the way of some very interesting characters. It is not unusual for the words ‘yoni’ or ‘ladygarden’ to feature heavily in conversation. My twitter feed is full of these sorts of hashtags: #sacredsex #divinegoddess #tantricawakening. I read this stuff without even cracking a...
Well I was just writing about the wonderful diversity in shapes and sizes of the human bod, last week, when I discovered via a nude ocean swim at The Sydney Skinny, that no two genitalia are ever alike! So it’s only fitting that this week’s ‘Real Woman – Real Story’ comes from ‘Emma’ – a...
